"I don't know about the rest of you but I really did not like the acting Season 2 Jane did. I absolutly loved Annabelle Wallis and Jane in Season 3. She was great. She played the role so beautifully her picture should be up there not Season 2 Jane. Long live Season 3 Jane!!"

"I agree that Anita did manage to give the character a slighly sneaky edge, whereas Annabelle was just dull. But this may be more to do with the script - when Anabelle took over the role, Jane was already established and Ann was out of the way, so you didn't get to see her when Jane's family (and arguably herself) were scheming to have her replace Ann."

"Admittedly I've only seen three episodes of S3 (I don't get Showtime, must rely on DVDs) and only one of them was a Jane Seymour episode, so I'm not in the best position to judge, but I prefer the S2 Jane. I don't necessarily think the issue is the actresses, but the way Jane was portrayed. S2 Jane was more of a flesh and blood human being; they showed her internal conflict and her moral ambiguity (do I behave like an honorable woman or do I follow my heart and family and dally with the married King?). I liked her, despite my anguish for what Anne was going through. They made the decision to portray her as a saint walking on water in the season opener of S3, which irritated me so much I had no desire to see any more Jane episodes. And I want to beatch-slap the Suffolks. "We'll all be happy now." Yeah, ding dong the witch is dead, now we have a perfect blonde saint among us, isn't it great that Anne's gone, because she's evil and you, Charles, are such a great guy and are in the best position to pass judgment. :pp. As someone who liked Anne in spite of her faults I couldn't stand watching that, and I ended up not watching most of S3. The S3 actress was good, I just didn't care for the 2 dimensional way she was written."

"I made a comment on another thread about how replacing the actress that played Jane seemed to distance her from her involvement in Anne's downfall. I said that of course that was not why the Producers did this. Then later I read of comment by one of the producers, Hirst I think, that that was exactly why they did it ! "
