they aren't - there's a tiny tiny hint of the old stuff, but that's all - the constant never-ending sex and big supernatural stuff is almost all there is, and it's too bad - anita started out with a multifacted world - her job, relationship with the police and with bert and the rest of the animators inc crew, her neighbors, edward, various vampires, friends and foes plus plenty of background - family, the college guy who dumped her, her mother's death - that's all gone, too. she used to go jogging, she had 2 human buddies. what made anita good for me is that she existed in a version of our real world, but with realistic amounts of supernatural stuff woven in in a realistic way.
i miss that.
