Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it should be taken from everybody else, especially when it only further confuses a character already known for confusion with an unoriginal twist. You would have to ignore and outright contradict a ton of stuff for it to even make sense when you could just fix the character. And again, I don't want to have spent time and money with this character for 6 years only to have a story that essentially means I got ripped off.
As for Janine, I don't think her being sexually assaulted AGAIN is a solution to you finding her boring. What a gross thing to say.
