The thing is, Eileen actually is a beast
Rewatching season 5. Eileen is a beast. Make no mistake about it, a mean, snooty beast. At least Lisa Rinna comes from a place of concern about Kim. Eileen has taken an instant dislike to Kim and it looks like her reason is because Kim is an addict. This is a shocking lack of empathy from an actress.
Perhaps the tag line should have been ‘I play a bitch on TV because I am one’.
She’s a total mean girl which is why she is cosying up to Vile Kyle. Even before the wine being thrown at her she was calling Brandi a creepy fan when she was at worst a bit over enthusiastic. Without enthusiastic fans, there would be no show for you to act on, so Eileen is also ungrateful to Days of our Lives fans. She thinks she’s above Brandi and Kim. And again she thinks she’s above Kim because Kim has a drug problem.
She’s not for me. Evil
