I always used to laugh at the way every time my grandad watched something on TV, he'd say something like "He's been in things. That's him, what's his name, him with the face." (Him with the face has become a family saying.) Then one time I was watching an episode of You, and Prudence from Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was having a massive argument with Kristoff from Once Upon a Time, and I realised I was just like him.
Oddly, the one person I seem to always miss it with is Granny from Once Upon a Time aka Maggie the wedding planner from Harper's Island - it took me ages to catch on to them being played by the same person and then I managed to miss her again as Grandma Hamilton in School Spirits (the actor playing her son is another Harper's Island veteran and I got him straight off.)
Speaking of, if you do check out Slasher #1, (the time to switch off for the scene I avoided is when new people move in to the street - best I can give without much of a spoiler) look out for Harper's Island's "Danny" as one of the main characters. Spotting Harper's Island cast members in other shows is practically a drinking game for me at this point because it happens so often.
I'm possibly more likely to miss it if it's something I've watched when I'm not in a good place - season 4 Slasher was the hangover from lockdown and other stuff, and I watched the first episode of From wondering why I recognised the actor who's in my icon before twigging that he had a recurring role in The Vampire Diaries in 2012. Then when I was telling that anecdote not that long ago, I realised I barely remembered his character's arc (his storyline coincided with when Grandad was ill and then died. 2012-13 is a pretty big blur.)

And if you read all that waffle I'm impressed.
