Matthew dying in the pilot short circuited an interesting story just as it got started. The show runner Sallie Patrick said in an interview that she was conflicted killing matthew off so early but that Esther S advised to focus more on the business then the personal so she went through with killing him off. I still think killing matthew wasn't a bad idea, just maybe made it a mid season cliffhanger after milking the potential conflicts of claudia/Matthew, claudia/Cristal, blake/Cristal, matthew/cristal..and even blake/Cristal.
As a show runner, if you are having doubts about a plot point, explore why and hold off until you are absolutely sure it's right.
Frankly the actor brought a warmth no other character seems to be able to emote. Even Cristal looked more human in scenes with him.
