Rachel McAdams
Film
Clones & Doubles
http://doppels.proboards.com she was replaced by 2004. As a matter of fact, it probably happened by late 2003.
*Rachel was on the Canadian tv show Slings and Arrows
which debuted on November 3, 2003. She starred in 6 episodes which aired that
fall. She did not appear on any episodes in all of 2004.
*Rachel was in the 2004 film Mean Girls, which was released on April 30,
2004. Yet we see her double's first appearance in the film The Notebook,
which was released on June 25, 2004.
So therefore giving production times, it had to be mid to late 2003 when
Rachel was replaced. It can take a year or longer for a movie to be released
after it is filmed and because the first appearance of "Fachel" is in The
Notebook released in June of 2004, she had to have been replaced in 2003
some time. There was possibly an overlap of Rachel and her double in 2003 but it
all depends on how far in advanced the show Slings and Arrows was shot
and the movie The Notebook was shot.
*It bears mentioning that Fachel made an appearance on the show Slings and
Arrows in June of 2005 as a "special guest appearance".
There are a few things I notice right away between Rachel McAdams and her
double. Her double has a more prominent forehead for one and a narrower facial
strucutre. Plus the voice is different. Look for these differences in the
following yt videos:

Rachel
Fachel
Notice how the fake Rachel has a more prominent forehead along with a narrower
face/jaw. The real Rachel's eyes are further apart than Fachel's.
Also notice I included a pic of Fachel with the blonde hair to show that the
hair color isn't the reason for the difference in the look of the two women.
