I'll say this until I'm blue in the face, but Kat is probably the best written character on the soap and one of the best acted characters on this particular soap. She can be petty, she can be funny, she can be razor sharp, and she can be impulsive.. but the one thing anyone that watches the show can agree on is that she isn't boring.
The current story with Kat/Eva kind of reminds me of the ER episode with the two sisters where one sister needed a liver transplant and the younger sister refusing to give it because she had a sporting event she needed to play.. and being guilted for not agreeing right away.
Seeing some of the other forums and other places on social media, a lot of people are upset at Kat for being selfish (and they also seem to not like Dani)... but the thing is that a soap opera needs a character that isn't agreeable and can be the spark that creates good scenes and content. If it weren't for Kat.. the Duprees would be Hallmark Channel material.
This makes me wonder something. If the writers are able to write a character like Kat, and to a lesser extent Eva, so well... why do they seem to have trouble with the Chelsea character? The actress has improved quite a bit over the last year, but the writers seem to treat her as an afterthought and only to be bought out for family gatherings, to be a voice of reason for Kat or Dani, and to remind people that she's non-hetero.
And a few people wonder how the show could possibly think to move Hayley over to Y & R if she's been trying to poison Bill. If SPS/Leslie can walk around free after trying to kill Laura twice.. then what's to stop Miss Hayley from walking away from Bill with a nice little settlement for being cheated on and moving over to Genoa City. As others have mentioned, Hayley is a Bill Bell character in spades as seen in Jill, Nina, and to a lesser extent Lauren. But with the current people running Y & R, they'd ruin her in a heartbeat... but it's better then the box that Hayley is in on this soap (remember how excited we were whenever she would run into a character outside Bill/Dani like Derek, Ashley, Caroline, etc?)
