JMS' comment on the Byron/Ivanova thing was that she was going to basically charge in because of his surface similarities to Marcus, and then I believe they were going to break up because those surface similarities weren't what she wanted. So it's not quite as bad as it sounds? Lyta was going to have a similar arc to the one she had in the actual show, but more as a member of the cult, so more emotionally distant.
But yes, AUGH, I do wish they'd gotten more about Talia!
(The original 5-year plan... ... siiigh... had Sinclair not being Valen, hooking up with Delenn after Catherine gets her memory wiped out, and them having some kind of super-quick-aging baby who is an "innocent" adult and thus the new perfect spiritual leader... I don't even know. They steal B4 in the future and rename it Babylon Prime and there's more Shadow War stuff I think? Like, he was planning a sequel series? It felt very "I am going to BLOW YOUR MIND, MAN." My mind remained unblown.)
