And, Allison broke it off with Scott and moved on with Isaac, they were just starting a relationship... Because teenagers and tv shows never have on again/off again relationships. >_>. Jeff had previously stated that Scallison was end game. Seeing as that was no longer possible, they needed a replacement love interest, because lord forbid a teen show not have romance in it. Had Crystal not decided to leave I doubt Scira would have even had a relationship at all. Crystal went to them with enough time to tweak the story to add that in. I completely disagree. But, guess we are all different and difference of opinions is ok :). Personally, I find Allison(and the others who are gone) gone refreshing. I am totally ok and prefer this set of characters and actors. Scira was definitely but slowly going somewhere in season 3b. Plus, Mellisa Mccall said: You fall in love more than once. So, Kira is not a replacement. Allison can't replace Kira nor Kira Allison. They are both unique in their own ways. I hate when I hear ppl say:replacement. Kira is Kira. Allison is Allison.

Well, yea, in real life. But this is fiction. I'm talking about the real world reasons behind the fictional world's development. Things are written to progress certain ways. You don't find it at all odd that as soon as they learnt that Reed wanted to leave, they brought in a different female for Scott to be with? Instead of in s2, or 3a? It wasn't the plan, until the original plan was ruined.

I'm not saying they're the same character. But her role has been swapped for the purpose of the story. Kind of like they did in 3a with Cora being a placeholder for Erica. And you can't deny that, the writers told us that.
