I think the problem was they decided to go in the opposite direction, and choose Kennedy as very loud and different from Tara. The thing was they had already failed at that, with the introduction of Riley, who was deliberately written as very straight and boring "boy next door type" to contrast with Angel's whole past and spolit personality deal.
They were obviously considering how to mix it up for the audience, but it was inconsistent with who the character would choose. Willow was not excited at the whole, "don't hog the covers" act from Kennedy. I mean Kennedy invites herself to share a bedroom with Willow, before there was any sign that Willow might be interested back. And Tara had just recently died, why should Willow have to put up with such a person and the unsubtle come-ons.
