Eva La Rue, we salute you. We salute you for making a successful leap from daytime to primetime. We salute you for staying strong in the face of, what some might call, atrocious acting by a certain co-star who shall go unnamed. We salute you for your purdy smile and exceptionally long eyelashes.

We salute you.
