Phoenix 2 was announced on senshuuraku for Phoenix 1. That means at some point (after tickets went on sale and immediately sold out?) while Suzuki-sensei was still working on the first show, he had to start thinking about the second one.
Then consider that Masami and Eriko should have informed the company that they were retiring during Paradise Prince (at least Eriko said so in her Graph taidan interview). So Suzuki-sensei would have already known that they were leaving and had to think of a way to deal without them in a sequel.
"Leona goes to jail" already serves as a temporary solution to what to do about the love interest. It may have all been planned from the beginning. "Angsting over a lost love" is also a really easy plot element and right up Zuka's alley, I think. It's possibly the best way to give Phoenix something to brood over... but still keep him faithful in the end.
On the other hand, if Masami hadn't retired, they could've pulled "your rich grandfather wants you to marry someone you've never met before" for all we know. Cheap plot devices are everywhere and easy to come by. :P
Kai-chan didn't get a single-shot stage photo, by the way. :\
