She was the only person Brody could relate to in season 1 and perhaps still even now. She's the reason he didn't set off the vest (the 2nd time). She's also a vehicle to humanize Brody.

I understand that part. But, you can accomplish that without all the face time. The sub plot of the VP son, her brooding all the time etc.
