Why Does Eve From The Frasier Reboot Look So Familiar?

In the first episode of the satirical superhero show "The Boys," protagonist Hughie Campbell's (Jack Quaid) partner Robin Ward, played by Jess Salgueiro, dies after Flash parody A-Train (Jessie T. Usher) collides with her at a high speed, killing her instantly.

After her death, Robin retains a presence in a few subsequent episodes of Season 1. Hughie, notably, is so upset by her death that he joins Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) as a member of the Boys organization, which is devoted to stopping the world's overpowered and egotistical superheroes. While he's still coming to terms with losing her, Hughie is haunted by visions of Robin, particularly after starting up a new relationship with Starlight (Erin Moriarty). Before long, though, Starlight helps him move on.

Salgueiro shared some insight into her brief but impactful time working on "The Boys" in a September 2019 interview with Collider. "I had a Spidey sense when I was reading these scripts — I hadn't felt that way about anything I'd read, where I was like, there's something really special going on here," she said. "Because of those reasons and the great vibes on set, I was like, okay, there's some magic happening."
