I recently watched a playlist of all of Kate’s scenes since she was introduced and had a few thoughts: a) her hair was fab, b) she’s always been a snark with a heart of gold, c) I love how much the Connors adore her, and d) I honestly do not understand how Aidan is supposed to be a ladies’ man (I mean, his much hotter and nicer sister was right there, ladies, make a better choice!)

a) I know, I loved it! I miss it, but I associate it so strongly with the “young” version of her (even though it was only a couple of years ago).

b) Aye, I love nice people, and because of her role she never got into the very scandalous storylines, her current affair with Rana the worst thing she’s done. Both Kate and Rana are actually incredibly lovely people, relatively, as soap characters, and I love being able to ship them so wholeheartedly.

c) Yeah! That is definitely a thing I’ve noticed and loved about her, how much all the Connors adore and baby her, even when she does something bratty, they just roll their eyes affectionately and are back to normal within a few eps. 

d) Ah, hah, I remember thinking the same, and sometimes I hate him a lot, but he can be very decent away from the affair and harping on the factory. Given the usual male-female imbalance on Corrie, where the women are on average far more attractive, smarter, funnier, and genuinely better than the men, he’s all right for a Corrie dude.

I really need to know your thoughts on this new killing eve episode

Ah, can’t really think about it in any context outside of that ending, right? It was so sobering and a reminder that this isn’t our friendly neighborhood assassin who actually likes Eve. 

Given how other media usually handles this kind of relationship and my own wish to see something not awful in Villanelle (and all characters), I was lulled into thinking the show would be Villanelle’s fixation bringing Eve and Eve’s feelings under her protection. And this was something she knew would hurt Eve, it wasn’t needed, especially at this point, when he was no danger (and only three eps in). Not even Konstantin asked her to get rid of them!

Despite it being such a downer and coloring the whole ep and reframing the character dynamics for me, I don’t think it’s hurting my enjoyment of the show and I wouldn’t label it bad writing or a bad move (yet). All her previous kills, even of seemingly nice people like the feminist political donor in Paris or Sebastian, were people we didn’t care about. I did care about Bill and Villanelle killing him makes me like her less. But that’s on me, she was always that person, it was just me trying to make her something she wasn’t.
