I found that scene so far from believable I was wondering what Marlena had been smoking. I can’t imagine she’d ever give Kate the time of day much less be that pleasant to her. And suggest coffee???
And I have to say, as much as I dislike Lauren as a bitch, I like her even less trying to play nice. I could have accepted her if she had come off as phoney and condecending but it wasn’t even that. It was like Lauren was having a difficult time saying her lines.
