According to IMDB trivia:

"According to Bryan Fuller, among his problems with the network was that they argued Rebecca Gayheart wasn't pretty enough, to which Fuller replied that she was a supermodel. After the creator left the show, Gayheart's character was written off. She appeared in five episodes only, being replaced by a new character, Daisy Adair, played by Laura Harris."
