A preparatory note on how "The Avengers" managed changes in the cast.
Mrs. Cathy Gale: Steed's first female "assistant". Comparing Mrs. Gale and Mrs. Peel, I think Mrs. Gale was actually the more independent and true-equal of the pair. She has a real moral voice of her own.
( the how of her leaving )
Mrs. Emma Peel: The pairing that put the show on the map. Glossier, more stylish episodes, both in look and characterization.
( the how of her leaving )
The other "assistants" I don't know about, I never saw the show on TV and only have a bunch of eps on DVD, but a cool Avengers site is http://www.avengers.tv/forever, and particularly, http://theavengers.tv/forever/profile.htm, as an overview/intro to the show.
And now, a fic that's probably shorter than the above discussion.
Spoilers for "Lobster Quadrille". Episode follow-up.
