* A minor example features in ''Film/FreakyFriday2003''; after Tess and Anna have swapped bodies, when Tess-in-Anna confronts Anna's English teacher about his attitude towards Anna (having given her an F for a college-level-answer to a question), she recognises the teacher as having asked "her mother" to prom and been rejected. "Anna" makes it clear to Bates that he cannot continue to take out his grudge against Tess on Anna in future or he will be reported to the school board, pointing out as she leaves that Tess already had a boyfriend for the prom anyway.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/ADiscoveryOfWitches'': Peter Knox carried a torch for Diana's late mother Rebecca, later confirming he was in love with her when Satu asks. He's initially warm towards Diana due to her reminding him of Rebecca, but he quickly becomes antagonistic due to being fixated on gaining access to her powers [[spoiler:which was also how things ended with Rebecca]]. As Satu states, Knox may have loved Rebecca but he loved her power more [[spoiler:and he was the one who killed her and her husband for defying him]]. Knox says he's blames Diana's father for leading Rebecca astray and causing her death, and clearly holds his rival in contempt even though he's been dead for years.
