Eve's face was so expressive the entire episode. You could tell exactly what she was thinking and all her emotions were written so clearly. She's really grown as an actress in the last few years, or perhaps it's just Sonya who has grown, but I didn't like her much when she was always stuttering and flakey. By the end she was the best in the show by far.
I don't follow soap gossip much but doesn't her husband (Tadpole) also work on the show behind the scenes? If so, it's even more strange that they let Eve go.
