Hrm, it's harder to diagnose disorders for television authors; that might be less of a disorder and more of some kind of hysteria -- like mob hysteria.
Fury-Noxon Oppositional Disorder or something, where neither has a clue about the creator's vision, neither likes the other's position, and between them both, they twist it all out of shape. I have heard of this sort of thing happening on a number of other series in later seasons (when the primary author/creator steps away or down). Maybe there's something going on there...
Symptoms include writing a cast of vampires that start off as entirely evil, bloodthirty villians, but somehow become misunderstood sex symbols who cry and bitch a lot long before the end of the series is reached.
Except that perhaps Fury-Noxon disorder is where you start out with perfectly good blood-thirsty antagonists, and then mutate them into the RHD form of wangsting misunderstood soul mates...
