Maybe, but it seems more 'prominent' when they're in a JC Staff show... I mean like- people immediately would link them to other JC Staff show... Do you get what I mean ?

Using a new person means you're able to appreciate the character for the character themselves.
Some of them get more than experience- Starring in shows like these is how they got their big break.
