I wonder how the actors do it - or is it a part of actor's actual personality?
I'm not sure either, it probably is acting skill infused a little with an actor's personality. one thing I don't think I mentioned in my LJ or anywhere else is how much I liked how they set up the introduction of the character of Mahone with the recap of last season. normally I don't like it when a show does a recap but having the cons and their crimes listed off was a good way to help new viewers(or returning ones who may have forgotten a few things)catch up.
with Veronica/RT sometimes a character just doesn't workfor whatever reason. I don't know if you have ever watched it, but I am reminded of the character of Mandy from the first season of The West Wing. She was played by Moira Kelly who is a very good actor but the character was extremely unpopular. It just wasn't a good fit for her and Mandy didn't return in the second season. in fact she just kind of disappeared which is strange because TWW was always pretty strong on continuity in the early years. but the character was so unpopular I think they just wanted it be like she never had existed;)
