OMG! What an awesome job Cassie did on Friday! I was crying and actually felt sorry for Eve. When she blew up at all of them, I actually thought that was exactly how Eve should react. I’m not a fan of the character, but the actress is amazing and I definitely think that was some of her best work yet.
and I have no doubt she will be nominated for the enxt go-round. I wish her the best; she deserves all the praise she gets.
Eve came to Salem with a motive because she despised Jennifer and she had jealousy all over her. I have no sympathy for Eve because the brought it all on herself: She immediately started in on J.J.(I never really liked him) and she started a plan to get him in trouble. She tried to get girls and boys to have parties that would cause him to drink and use drugs. She(Eve) got wind that Jennifer’s mother had lost her ability to lose her mind. And she thought she could make Jennifer lose her mind. She sneaked in Marlena’s offce and got some medical records, thinking she could drive her crazy.
If Eve had acted like a decent human being, she might not have lost Paige. Sleeping with J. J. all those times, was despicable and disgusting. All she did was drink and throw glasses.
ACTING OUT AT THE FUNERAL WAS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR!I know something like this is really a meaty part for an actor and they can throw their all into it but I find it far, far, unreasonable to watch her acting like this. I think that is why you rarely see scenes like that submitted for Emmys, because you don’t have to be that good of an actor to play them.
Of course she’s going to grieve and be angry but I think she is playing it way over the top. I have know many people who have lost children, even only children, some very tragically, and did not lose control like Eve has done, repeatedly. Usually they are in such shock they are numb and just kind of stumble through the funeral/burial. And lashing out at others is usually too much effort in their grief to even bother with. Again, I’ve seen estranged people come together during the funeral but then back at it after everything is over.
Now, about feeling sorry for her, sorry, I can’t either. When she was acting so despicable to practically everybody in Salem, isn’t that what we were all hoping for, something rotten to happen to her? Well, that’s about as rotten as it could be, so all I can say about that is, Karma is a bitch, isn’t it Eve?
I’m glad you were on the same page, because you had the same thoughts I agree she(Eve goes overboard with her ranting and raving. Eve had no conscious when she started her ranting again at the funeral.
as partly guilt and self-loathing. Eve has to know she had a role in this tragedy (she’s said as much) and the fact that Paige and she were estranged a factor as well. Certainly Days is going for big drama here too.
But am I sympathetic? No.Well Shadow you have been quiet for so long I thought you had left the board. I think that Eve’ s behavior is mostly out of guilt. She has always blamed her problems with Paige on Jennifer and now she realizes she was to blame for the majority of their troubles and it is too late to do anything about it. So true to form she is lashing out at others. Never liked Eve but no one deserves to lose a child, not even Eve. And if she lost it at the funeral well I don’t like it but can’t blame her either. Terrible tragedy even for someone like Eve. Have a little compassion huh?
I hate Eve but I think her reaction to her daughter’s death is pretty believable. She has an overly dramatic personality and she knows this is her fault. She was not a good mother but she loved Eve. She drove her away and now it’s too late. Alone with nothing to lose this is exactly how I would expect her to act. I do feel for her. She ruined her whole life and there is no chance for her to repair her relationship with Paige except in her own fantasies.
PS
Jenmifer and JJ should have sat in the back at the funeral and not gone to the luncheon afterwards. Why invite a further scene? Jen knows better.
Im not trying to garner sympathy for the character, just stating that the actress did an amazing job. However, as a parent my heart aches for the characters loss of a child. The scenes did what they were supposed to do, make me cry. If you didn’t bat an eyelash or get a little choked up, either you don’t appreciate good acting or there’s some real hatred there and that’s pretty cold.
I was wondering why Jenn and JJ were in the front. Sorry, but Jennifer and JJ should have stayed in the background and been more respectful. Eve hates them both and had they just paid their respects and gone home afterwards, Eve probably wouldn’t have lost it like that. Honestly, Jennifer already knew where Eve stood with her, why rub salt into the wound.
I completely agree, Shadow! I have ZERO sympathy for Eve after all she’s done to others and most especially, her own daughter. You are 100 percent entitled to your opinion. I thought we were supposed to bash the character or disagree with the poster, but not call them names. So I guess whoever doesn’t cry for Eve or feel sympathetic towards her, is looked at by some, as not compassionate, cold, can’t appreciate good acting, or has hatred. I didn’t get choked up at all so do I fall into those categories?. Eve is despicable and though her crying was believable, I don’t feel sorry for her one tiny bit and I am a very compassionate person.
I felt and will continue to feel sad that Paige is gone. I love the actress and the character was not a cookie cutter teen. She was smart, kind, and had a nice way about her. When Paige appeared at her own funeral in Eve’s imagination, that was nicely done and touching. But my sympathy and sadness is directed at Paige; not Eve. Never Eve.
of a very good friend yesterday, the mortuary employee announced that the family invited everybody over to the house after the services. I think that is pretty standard procedure, at least all the funerals I’ve attended, so I would imagine it would be justification for them to be there.
