Oh I wasn't going that far back, just the series as presented on CW. The show went through major retooling in format and cast from showtime to cw, but my only point is she was a part of the cast as a series regular since it was rehauled on cw.

She was confirmed as a series regular along with Pete Gardner in mid July. And the series was picked up a week into May so with all that gathered indicates she was included near (if not) the beginning.

She is in the opening animated credits, so she has to be intended to be a major supporting character. Perhaps she was introduced later since so many characters were in the mix at the beginning, and they already had the crazy at quota.

I just got into this show on a whim and thoroughly love it now. Bryn and Nessa crack me up, and I actually like James Corden now.
