I did the replacement player thing with one character, where the original just didn't feel she could keep up with the character's peculiarities with other things going on. In that case, it was a character I was engaged to marry, a semi-mute halfling bard. Which is to say, due to traumatic experiences, she couldn't talk but she could sing (this is actually known to happen in real life, as music and speech come from different centers of the brain apparently).
In my case, I picked a player I was familiar with who'd been around my character before and chatted with me OOCly a lot. I provided a sketch of the character, along with some logs, particularly the log of the making of their engagement, as it did a good job of showing their interaction. She took over the char, and played it without a hitch and with no significant personality change.
