I must be a simple girl cause on my Sorceress, I actually quite liked Andronikos' return (granted, she didn't romance him but eh). I might just be easy to please and way too optimistic
And, I also seem to recall back with the chapters coming out, there were people who complained a LOT how much they hated the companions returning in loooong chapters and wanted them to return as alliance alerts, just with the original dialogue wheel and such??
