This is interesting ... Lana says in this brief interview that she got excited when she heard their plans for Regina so hopefully we are going to like it too.

I feel bad - they are a bit tongue tied on how to explain their characters are still the same but a bit different now. Lana likes the casting with Andrew.
In the video below with Gabrielle Anwar, she talks a little bit of how s7 Regina is different & about Jared + Andrew
