Eva's comment about Kat wasn't really negative as much as it was surprise. Kat did berate Eva in the stairwell until she saw her bleeding profusely not to mention practically wishing her dead previously so it would be a shock to her that Kat took such a risk to save her life.

It's this soap's conceit that everybody has to be super successful in their endeavours.

Anita is an EGOT, Dani a supermodel that is still in demand, Andre a super successful photographer, ChelseaKat a hit right off the bat, Chelsea has millions of followers, Martin is a winning congressman, Smitty a crack journalist, Ashley is a fabulous nurse, Eva the hairdresser is able to run Ted's office etc etc

It's not believable and actually closes off story possibilities.

Even the criminals -Joey and Hayley. the expert scammer (ha!) are flourishing.

A surprising amount of "kumbaya", even amongst those where it shouldn't be expected, runs rampant. It's another thing that closes off storyline possibilities in my opinion.

I just watched the last episode today and Kat had me tearing up. They dont deserve her

Literally only Nicole and her grands seemed to understand Kat. This whole situation has made the rest of the bunch in particular Martin and Isaiah look like complete pricks.

Another week of Joey and his Dracula ass jackets. Here we go.

LOL.

Martin's opponent in the primary never even had a NAME, did he/she? When the primary was first mentioned in the script several months ago, Vernon said something like, "You've got a VERY DANGEROUS opponent. You really need to concentrate on this upcoming primary."

I thought it would be a cool little story for this "very dangerous" opponent to appear and accuse Martin of being a nepo-baby, etc. And I hoped he or she would try digging up a little dirt on Martin, scaring Martin into thinking "The Terrible Secret" was about to be exposed. And of course it ultimately wouldn't be, because the writers are saving that for later. But it would've made a much more interesting primary than just a campaign manager who appeared twice, a livestream in Orphey Gene's, and an opponent with no name.
