I really do wonder how SEED Destiny would've turned out if it weren't for the behind-the-scenes drama that happened between the producer and the voice actors.

I don't know the full details but for those out of the loop apparently the director thought that her husband was cheating with Cagalli's VA or something, and when Shinn's VA tried to defend Cagalli's VA, the director made Shinn boring/insane in response and made Cagalli lose the character development she gained in SEED.

I'm not so sure if this is true or not, but fans believe it is because a.) the producer was going through depression at that time and b.) interviews with the VAs have hinted at this so yeah.
