100%. Which is what has always buried her onscreen for me, IMO. And people don't always talk about this but it goes way back.
It's easy to play up bitchy lines that are supposed to hit for a portion of the onliners and gain a little following, especially if your character is simply oppositional to some others part of the audience doesn't like. But snarky soap bitch is relatively easy to play. They tried to gave Britt pathos and dimension way back in 2013-2014 when RC became fond of her. KT couldn't play it, which is why I started naming her reaction shots before the cuts lol. "Misty Nausea, Dull Concern," etc. It was amateurish.
They tried to do it again in 2021 and she got lucky by having serious chemistry with Steve when he clearly had something to prove. But in terms of carrying emotional story on her own or injecting nuance? KT's never had it and she never will. That's why she gives up when she's not with Burton and the other pairings don't fly.
