The perception there is a lack of continuity is really overblown. I won't go into it (it would take too long), but in my opinion it has substantially improved from the in-season TDI one, but the errors are getting more noticed. I've seen worse and more frequent instances in other shows; that stuff is just going to happen.

Plus including a new character, objectively speaking, is very difficult to prioritize over a fundamental problem. The show's quality and marketability are more important than its individual characters, as if the former isn't fixed, the latter will hardly even matter in the first place. Combine this with a type of character that would likely need a more careful approach than the other 38 (which is mostly needed due to the format of the show; I will explain if asked), and it isn't hard to see why that isn't a pressing need to introduce someone like that.
