Yes, they might have decided the heavy-breathing stalker calls were a little out of keeping with the tone that the graphic novels are setting. It was one the second book published and I think later on that slightly creepier take on the BSC got shunted off into BSC Mysteries series.
And you're probably right about the importance of adding the book nerd character early (although she hasn't gotten much chance to book nerd yet!). And perhaps this will let them put more focus on Jessi when they introduce her: the two girls got introduced in one book originally, and it was Mallory's book, but now it could be Jessi's.
It's a little disturbing how well I remember these books that I have not read for at least two decades.
