I'm not trying to be overly nasty but writing a character played by the most limited performer on the show who then becomes a performer as her character, thus requiring her to act as a person (which is apparently already a lot to ask) who then performs on top of that...was a mistake. She has a warm presence but the poor girl playing Alice does not have the chops for this.
