I agree that no matter how inadequate the writing sometimes was for AM's character, the actress managed to compensate, and made the character dignified and intelligent. Perhaps she came across as someone intelligent who was stressed and having an "off" month....
I can't imagine anyone replacing AM and actually coming across as Victoria since that was such an individual charaterization, so I never expected much of BD. I was impressed that they'd found someone who could do a fair vocal impression of Moltke.
I think Victoria Winters was transformed just as Betsy Durkin took over. She became fully aware and accepting of the supernatural. She walked right up to Blair and told him off. It still would have been better with AM, but the recasting did come at an interesting moment in the story.
