* Rose of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' manages to return twice. The second time offers no explanation as to where she came from and where she ended up after the episode, but that's not unusual for Rose... she's [[Stalker with a Crush|a little loopy]].

* On ''[[Eureka]]'', you'd think sacrificing himself to save continuity would be enough to get Nathan Stark out of Carter's life for good. Nope; he comes back. {{spoiler|Turns out he was just a technology induced hallucination. But this is Eureka, after all. }}

* On ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', Jess apparently has several round-trip tickets. His whole slew of issues came together and he ran away from town, only to be grudgingly dragged back to town to reclaim his car and attend his mother's wedding. He leaves town again when Rory impulsively rejects him and then resurfaces in Rory's life again to see how she's doing only for Rory to sadly reject him again.

* Nurse Shirley Daniels returned to [[St Elsewhere|St. Eligius]] twice after {{spoiler|[[Put on a Bus|going to prison for shooting doctor-turned-rapist Peter White]]}}: once for an appendectomy, and once in the series finale.

* More actress-wise than character-wise, but Rachel Dratch returned to ''30 Rock'' for the first time since the first season for its season 5 [[Live Episode]], this time playing a wacky foreign janitor. Liz even comments, "Haven't seen you in a while."

* In ''[[Growing Pains]]'', Luke ([[Leonardo DiCaprio]]) returns briefly in the final episode. Oddly enough, he didn't technically interact with the cast face-to-face. He simply spoke to Mike on the phone in one scene. He was only a part of the cast towards the end of the series so there wasn't a long time between his departure and return.

* In the second ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'' game, Elora was an important character. She's missing for most of the third game due to plot reasons, but appears in a cutscene toward the end. She however doesn't appear in any other games outside of the original trilogy.

* ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' brought back several characters that hadn't made an appearance in a mainstream console [[Platform Game]] since ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' or ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''; ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' and ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' made a point of only including side characters that contributed to the plot, the latter only having Tails.

* After long ago accepting that any characters not named Chris, Leon, Jill or Claire would never come back, ''[[Resident Evil]]'' fans were quite surprised to learn that Sherry Birkin will be returning in ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', apparently having [[Took a Level In Badass|taken a level or two in badass]] in her downtime.

** Similarly, Kevin, son of Joe and Bonnie Swanson, came back in season 10 during Thanksgiving when everyone had accepted that Kevin died in the Iraq war. He actually went AWOL.

* Boom-Boom and Spyke in ''[[X-Men: Evolution|X-Men Evolution]]''. Tabatha gets kicked out of the Brotherhood by Mystique, and we don't really hear much about her until the X-Men go on vacation on a cruise, where they apparently invited her to come along (probably because she's best friends with Amara/Magma). She shows up again to help in the finale. Spyke/Evan joins the Morlocks and is gone for a season, until he gets his own episode a bit later on where he [[Took a Level In Badass]] and actually became useful, and again, he showed up in the finale too.
