Took over from daughter behind console (8)
I believe the answer is:
relieved
'took over from' is the definition.
('relieve' can be a synonym of 'take over from')
'daughter behind console' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'behind' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'console' becomes 'relieve' (relieve can mean to soothe or console someone).
'd' put after 'relieve' is 'RELIEVED'.
(Other definitions for relieved that I've seen before include "'Alleviated, lightened (8)'" , "Not so anxious - replacement has arrived" , "Made less monotonous" , "made easier" , "Alleviated, eased" .)
