Without giving anything away -- I always got the impression that beyond her initial introduction (and thus answering the question definitively "what drove Saul to drink?"), the writing staff had no idea what to do with the character, but liking Kate Vernon enough that they wanted to keep her around.
That said, it is a problem that is eventually solved by the writers clearly sitting down and saying, "Let's give her an actual storyline" and thus making her a lot more interesting and believable.
