yes, eve/roarke is prettyness on a rerun.  it gets old fast.   but the 
supporting characters are charming, especially mavis the singer, and the 
reporter lady (nadine?)

most of her recurring female characters are bloody strong minded, even if 
not in a traditionally bloody strong-minded job, such as singer or 
manucurist/beautician.  i find that very enjoyable.  who says that you have 
to take on a traditionally male job, like cop or serious reporter, if you 
happen to be bloody minded?  seriously single minded girls can stay be 
feminine, too!

ziviya, approving of bloody minded women who do not actually have to draw 
blood as part of the job
