Jennifer just...never worked. She had no spark with Mike. I didn't miss her when she was written out.
Kristen Vigard had a certain quirky appeal, I think, and chemistry with John Wesley Shipp, but her replacement was dull as dishwater. The weak writing for the character after Jennifer Cooke took over the role didn't help matters. I didn't miss Faux Morgan when she departed, either. I recall Geraldine Court saying in the press that Vigard's replacement was "a very cynical choice." She must not have felt Cooke was right for the part either.
I don't believe Ben and Evie remarried before Eve left town, although online fan sites have claimed they did. Maybe they got married in a blink-of-an-eye sequence and I just missed it. I do remember that after Janet Grey was let go, Helena Manzini was talking to Justin Marler and asked him about Eve. He said that she had decided to leave town and visit Ben, to see if they could "work things out." That suggests to me that they had either gotten remarried, or perhaps Eve just wanted to see if they could rekindle their relationship. So many characters were dropping like flies during those few years, it was hard to keep track of how they all were dispatched.
