If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.

^Nope. Alice is not doing anything in the new situation now.

I could see there being room for a subtrope of Suspiciously Similar Substitute and Convenient Replacement Character where it's only temporary. I do think Suspiciously Similar Substitute, downplayed, is probably the trope that's deliberately being played with in these situations.
What was the trope when a character bickers a lot with another one, but when yet another character appears, they start bickering with the new one?
I.E.: Charlie bickers with Alice, but when Diane appears, he bickers with her.
