I thought Byron was originally intended for Ivanova, up until Claudia
decided to leave the show...???

Correct.  Note the use of the word *starstruck*, not *involved with*.  The
theory was that Byron would have gotten involved with Ivanova, who -- feeling
she'd messed up by being too closed off to a somewhat similar person decides to
take a chance with someone, only to have it blow up in her face -- while Lyta
suffered from unrequited love (a constant B5 theme), which would no less fuel
her desire to avenge him.
