to leave town, only to return as an alter-ego and leave again. Her character of Eden is last seen falling from a cliff, although her alter-egos are seen after that. Again, A Martinez shines as Cruz grieves for his love once again. Eventually the story is given closure as divorce papers are received by Cruz and Cruz himself leaves town. Reception Kim Zimmer, who joined Santa Barbara as Jodie Walker in 1992, found that fan reaction to the couple was so strong that her pairing with Cruz was dismissed. She lamented, "The thought of super couples never bothered me, but I'm having a problem with it now because Eden and Cruz were such a super couple that anyone else who comes on the show with designs on Cruz gets hate mail. I can't stress how hard it is for me to read mail from people who have such tunnel vision about the Eden/Cruz thing that they won't accept another woman in his life. With super couples, they don't let that die." See also List of supercouples References Santa Barbara characters Soap opera supercouples Castillo Television characters introduced in 1984
