Frankly it is easy to mistake her for the Reign hallucination of her creator since there was that weird hallucination in the premier where Allura turns into Reign. I have a feeling that Alura is going to play into this season more than what we think. It is odd that they are re-casting a character who is only in an episode every now and then. I think there is something else going on with her character.

I think they said the old actress was unavailable and with it being a minor character, it's not too hard to recast. I think they just wanted to be able to have Alura in this season like she has been and just had to recast cause of scheduling conflicts.
