And then all of his high school classmates all went to “California University”, across the Bay from San Francisco.
On Days of Our Lives, the rich son of a local town thug got beaten up and left lying in the snow on Friday and came to, still lying in the snow, as a different actor on Monday.
The Edge of Night was originally conceived as a daytime version of the Perry Mason Show. The actor who played Mason in the radio show was cast as the main actor in the soap, but a disagreement with Earl Stanley Gardner caused them to change his name and the setup of the show.
Bobby Martin went up into the attic to get his skis and never came down again. Years later, Opal Gardner got locked in the attic and stumbled across a skeleton wearing a hat that said “BOBBY” on it.
They commented on how she had grown up so fast.
He. His name was Andy and he was played by Brian Bonsall, who later played Worf’s son Alexander on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The kids, and even main characters like Jon Snow and Robb Stark, are much older in the tv series than they are in the books.
The younger daughter disappeared for a season then came back as an older actress.
I can’t remember the character’s name, and I can’t find it in a cursory search, but there was a character on Saved By the Bell who was a nerdy, smart alecky kid for the first couple of seasons, then disappeared, and then he came back for the final episode and they commented that he had just been over in a different part of the school all that time.
Correct, but I’m talking about solely within the context of the show. Though it looks like Billy Bones is only 2 years older than the original Dickon actor; he just seems older. The second Tommen was 15 when he joined (previously playing an unrelated Lannister character), and I can’t find any information about the original Tommen’s age, but he was young.
That happened on “Boy Meets World” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl8ZH9QSwkI. “Saved by the Bell” had a girl character who turned up only in episodes in which the usual actresses were unavailable.
On “Doctor Who” the actor playing Jamie wasn’t available for shooting for part of one story, so the Doctor accidentally (literally!) rearranged his face, allowing another actor to play the role until Jamie’s face could be fixed The Mind Robber - Wikipedia
Yes, I remember that happening, I got quite a laugh!
You mean Tina Yothers? Nope. She played Jennifer in all 176 episodes.
This explanation of Klingon lifespans is contradicted by the fact that many Klingons from TOS came to DS9. Played by the same actors, no less.
I’ve only ever seen it that Klingon/Human hybrids aged more quickly, not full Klingons (who I thought had longer lifespans than humans - Kang was in TOS and DS9, like you said). And we knew the first generation hybrids had to have assistance to be conceived. And yes, it was a fanwank. But I believe it was canonized when we saw a child B’Elanna in Voyager? Could be wrong; it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.
Consider All Good Things, where future Worf had aged more than anyone else.
Klingon ageing is inconsistent (imagine that, inconsistency in Star Trek :eek:) but I’m sure the ageing of Alexander was a creative choice, not an error.
No mention yet of Prison Break?
After prison “broke” at the end of season 1 the show went downhill fast. The solution? Contrive to put all of the major characters back in prison, in Panama. Oh, and “major characters” includes one of the former prison guards from the first season.
That season was somewhat enjoyable though, but you didn’t suspend your disbelief so much as just by sheer force of will completely forget about the premise.
Interesting.
A friend of my called this The TV Non-Linear Flow of Time. On General Hospital, a twelve-year-old disappeared for a while and came back a college freshman, while his former best friend was still a pre-teen.
