Irregardless, while certain shows recast characters throughout a run...it would not make sense to recast her after only a few absences in episodes. No other serial drama does this, with recasting usually done the following season or replacement characters used after "killing off" a (now terminated) contracted actor's character. Some just "move away" or "transfer departments", depending on the show...but no they didn't recast her, especially such a big part (hell, she even got promotional photos along with Sam Underwood).
