Line 6:
** Louise Tate (Larry's wife) was first played by Irene Vernon, later by Kasey Rogers.
** Dick York had to be replaced because of a past disabling back injury that had torn all the muscles in his back. During his final season on ''Bewitched'', entire episodes had him sitting on a couch or lying in bed. The pain had become so bad at that point, he bit a hole into his tongue. The experience prompted him to quit the show. York would go on to spend the rest of his life bed-ridden with an addiction to pain killers.
* The proto-Ur example is ''[[
* ''[[Mad About You]]'' played this trope straight, then subverted it, in the form of Paul and Jamie's neighbors Maggie and Hal Conway. Paxton Whitehead originated the role of husband Hal Conway and played it for a few episodes. When he wasn't available for an episode, actor Jim Piddock took over the role, implicitly playing the same Hal. Much later, Whitehead was available again. In the first episode upon his return Maggie says, "I divorced my second Hal, and remarried the first one."
** The trope was played completely straight with Jamie's parents, who are played by three sets of actors, culminating in the [[Stunt Casting]] of Carol Burnett and Carroll O'Connor.

** Yet oddly subverted with Vorena the Elder, who is played by the same actress through the entire series, despite the fact that her character starts out ''younger'' than Octavian and should by rights be at least in her mid-thirties by the time the series ends. (They do play it somewhat straight with young Lucius and Vorena the Younger, casting older children, but neither is even close to the age they should be by the end of the series.)
* ''[[All My Children]]'', like all daytime soaps, has recast characters countless times. However, in 2007 they decided to have fun with it by transitioning actresses playing Babe in mid-hug with her mother Krystal. Alexa Havins went in for the hug and Amanda Baker pulled back from it. See it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0SAuT5KHTM here].

** It is [[Crowning Moment of Funny|hilariously parodied]] a couple of episodes later when ''both'' the actors show up at the same time as Wagbo to terrorise Harry.
