Line 56:
* ''[[My Family]]'' appears to take place in real-world time with a year between each series (judging by in-show references and the Christmas specials) but Kenzo, born in series four, is mentioned as being nine years old in series ten. Also extends to Janey, who is fifteen years old in the first series and claims to be "almost 30" in the tenth.
* Lily on ''[[Modern Family]]''. The twins who originally played her became increasingly difficult to work with during season two, and were replaced by four year old Aubrey Anderson-Emmons for the next season, also making it an example of [[The Other Darrin]].
* Tabitha Stevens in ''[[Tabitha]]'', a short-lived [[Spin-Off]] of ''[[Bewitched]]'' broadcast in 1977. The character was born in 1965-1966 season of ''Bewitched'' and should have been only 12 in 1977, but was played by then 21-year-old [[Lisa Hartman Black|Lisa Hartman]] as an adult making her way in the world for the first time. She wasn't the only one -- younger brother Adam was aged up so much he became the ''older'' of the two siblings.

Line 79 ⟶ 80:
* Thank you [[Guiding Light]], for giving us Leah Bauer. Sending her to boarding school when she was about a year old was one thing, but when she came back a year later she was 14, twelve years older than her ''older brother.''
** Phillip Spaulding on [[Guiding Light]] was introduced in 1977 as being approximately eight years old; after leaving for a time in 1980, he was recast and returned in 1982, now played by 22-year old Grant Aleksander. The character's age progression, from 1982 on, paralleled that or Aleksander, who would continue to play Phillip, off and on, through Guiding Light's 2009 cancellation.
* New Zealand's ''[[Shortland Street]]'' does this to Tuesday Warner, played by Olivia Tennet. Although born in 1995, she comes back to Ferndale in 2007 at fourteen years old.
