Where they aren’t the central characters (eg modern family or stranger things) then it really doesn’t bother me as it typically helps the story along. I don’t like a clumsy recasting but it’s better than just randomly killing them off or writing them out.

If you mean Dr Who, wasn't it mentioned some point in the early run of the series that he could only regenerate 10(?) times?

He could regenerate 12 times which he did at end of Matt Smith’s run and they resolved it by having Time Lords give him new lives so you can’t put a DAMPER ON THE FUN HERE
