The introduction of Dawn in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was excellent.
The replacement of the actor of Greg in “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” was very well done (including multiple in-show references to the character being a different actor).
The series “Roseanne” had two different actresses for Becky. In the revival/The Conners, the first actress played Becky, but they had a nice storyline with the other Becky as well.

Does it count as a retcon when it’s literally a plot point that she didn’t exist until season 5?

No it doesn't

Dawn isn't a retcon

It seemed like it at first, though.

I didn’t initially like the introduction of Dawn because it made no sense as it happened, but then that season ended up being so engrossing and felt like a return to form for the show I’ve always been a big fan of.

Honestly, I think there was a more sloppy retcon that screwed a little with continuity from the show, though.
