I'd agree with that. You could watch her evolve and change as time passed.

Yes, it did seem like she was locked into the personality of the
air-headed blonde constantly playing a role rather than being a 'person'..

I was going to say 'being herself' but I guess we couldn't know
from the show what the real her was actually like.
(The 'real her' on the show, not the actress in real life.)
