Why should I do anything except roll my eyes at her?
You've just articulated one of my biggest issues with this story line in a way that I was unable to. I feel like they've made the other characters accept that Juliette is Eve so quickly so that the viewers can to, but I'm just not buying it. If you want to remake an entire character, you have to put in the work to make it believable.

Nick freaked out in that episode 7 and after that he seems indifferent and even calls former love of his life 'Eve' without batting an eyelash. Makes me want to laugh tbqh. Hank didn't give a damn, he just said something about coming from the dead being complicated. Renard and Wu are pretty much the same. Also laughed when she was leviating doing press ups, seriously? I've always said another actress should've played Eve and she should've been a totally new character.
I think Eve would have been SO MUCH BETTER if they cast a completely new actress, and the reactions of the characters would be a little more believable too. And it would make more sense that she's actually supposed to be a new person instead of the confusing "Juliette died but not really because her body, mind and soul are still there they just belong to Eve who has all her memories but no emotional connection" thing that they're trying to do. The way I see it right now, if it looks like Juliette, and talks like Juliette...
Unfortunately, it seems that the entire purpose of created Eve was to cater to Bitsie, so they probably wouldn't even consider casting a new actress.
