I wonder if Elektra will still be Murdock's potential love interest like in the movie or if Claire will still be around.

However, DeKnight stressed that he didn’t feel that things were notably more restrictive with Marvel than others, noting, “We would have creative disagreements that we would sit down and talk about and explain like any other show. But really the only time that we got a ‘no’ is originally, Rosario Dawson's character had a different name. She was going to be the actual Night Nurse from the comics, and the feature side had plans for her down the road. So that's the only time that I actually ran afoul of… we couldn't do something. And we just used another name, so it's the same character.”

n Marvel comics Night Nurse's alter ego is Linda Carter - originally a mild mannered nurse who then became a character injured superheroes go to for off the record medical assistance. Dawson ultimately played Claire Temple, a fairly obscure character from Luke Cage's past in the comics, who ends up helping Matt Murdock in the series in a similar manner to Carter/Night Nurse's usual role.

Asked for some clarification after the panel about what Marvel had planned, DeKnight said, “I'm not 100% sure. All I know is the original Night Nurse that we were talking about, we had her name in a script and it came back that it was possible they were going to use her. They weren’t sure at the time and I'm not sure if they ever moved forward with that on the features side. So we just switched to another character that was very much kind of the same realm of Night Nurse.”
