Actually, @AbcNbc247 , I think Ben and Cathy's affair held a lot of dramatic potential.
For one thing, it helped that Douglas Sheehan and Lisa Hartman shared nice chemistry. (Of course, Sheehan was the type to share romantic chemistry with just about every woman, lol). Moreover, I liked how their affair grew organically out of their friendship and circumstances, with Cathy putting her life and career back together after Joshua, and Ben feeling left out with Gary, Val and the twins. Unlike when Abby first pursued Gary, neither Ben nor Cathy had designs on each other; which, in turn, made it difficult to brand either of them as the heavy or villain in the story, even though their affair hurt people that they both loved and cared about.
If not for the fact that Lisa Hartman was on her way out, I would have liked to see where, if anywhere, Ben and Cathy's affair would've gone, because, IMO, it's probably the kind of story David Jacobs always wanted to tell on KL, and probably the last character-driven storyline we'd get for a LONG while, lol.
