I think if this were a full-run series, she might get annoying quick, unless they gave her something to do, but she's never going to be integral to any part of the political plotline, making her place on the show a little more superfluous than the others.

The flashbacks are all in softer focus and are more saturated than the regular shows, which definitely helps. But their make up artist should also get major props.
