I think Simms had announced her leaving right after Eve was introduced so the show had to quickly write her out.
Based on the final episodes with Beverlee playing Alex, it did seem as though Alex had a come to Jesus moment about letting her hatred of Mindy/Roger affect all aspects of her life expressing regret over losing Fletcher and now her son Nick. I remember her final scenes with Nick where she was leaving to give him space and that she would be back once he let her know he was ready to talk to her again.
The one story I think really got affected when Beverlee left other than Nick/Mindy/Eve was the Jenna taking over Spaulding story. I recall a few scenes of Jenna acting opposite Beverlee's Alex and there was no love lost so I have a feeling that had Beverlee not left.. she would have played a big part in the Jenna taking over Spaulding story and would have probably blamed A-M and used this as a tactic for her to manipulate Nick to work for Spaulding Enterprises, etc.
In regards to Eve, I do recall that she even mentioned to Ed about his affair with Lillian as a way to get him off her back when she was gaslighting Mindy. Oddly I liked Ed/Eve together.. they were both wounded and full of remorse over the mistakes made by both in their lives.. and it took Eve about two years to regain the truth of Springfield over her actions.
