* On ''Series/{{Angel}}'', Wesley was absent for "[[Recap/AngelS05E08Destiny Destiny]]", because Creator/AlexisDenisof was on his honeymoon with Creator/AlysonHannigan. He was replaced for the episode by another expert on occult lore, with the explanation that Wesley was taking some well-deserved time off after [[spoiler: killing a robot that he'd believed to be his father]].
** This one is unusual in that Creator/JossWhedon probably knew about this months in advance, enough time to not only set up the reason for Wesley's absence, but write an episode that would not have worked if Wesley had been present - a major plot point was that the Substitute Expert was evil, and deliberately mistranslated a text, where Wesley would have given a faithful translation.

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'': Ema Skye. [[spoiler:The game was originally released with 4 cases, 3 of which had Maya as the player's sidekick, helping with investigations and providing funny interactions. Maya leaves for her spiritual training at the end of the 4th case, so when a 5th case was added in the DS re-release she couldn't return as sidekick. Instead, your client is Ema, who takes on the same role, is just 1 year younger than Maya, and has similar animations and facial expressions. Phoenix lampshades the similarities between her and Maya both having older sisters, and Lana happened to know Mia. Ema resembling Maya is even part of the reason why he took the case. In later games, Maya returns as the sidekick.]]

** Ollie Akana in ''Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury'' had to be benched for most of the season due to actor Kainalu Moya's schedule. The writing team accomplished this by having the villains [[BrainwashedAndCrazy put him under mind control]]. Luckily for the rest of the Cosmic Rangers, there's another [[BlueMeansSmartOne smart-guy Blue Ranger]] with ''triceratops'' powers around who can help them until they bring Ollie back to his senses: Creator/DavidYost returns to play [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Billy Cranston]], who fills Ollie's role as the group's strategist and tech genius.

** There's a debate over whether Music/GeorgeHarrison played bass on "She Said She Said" on ''[[Music/RevolverBeatlesAlbum Revolver]]'' because Paul left the studio after an argument with the band during the session (it's also been claimed that they finished the rhythm track before the argument, so it is Paul on bass after all).
