Sounds like it's Written-In Infirmity combined with something else that I can't think of
This probably applies the most to plays/roleplays/improvisational stuff. One actor/player is unable to join the play, probably due to sickness, and the main producer/writer is forced to retcon part of the story so that the character the sick person was supposed to play is basically written off.
