@Opti:Thats the reason I gave that Arjun track here which can run till Dec since Arjun has enough reasons to take his revenge on MSK right now ...and if that track comes ,then obviously MP wont b there as he has no idea about Arjun or Annie ...so here either ved raj or Barry himself can handle it till Dec na ...

I am not too keen to see either Arjun or Annie. They were insipid characters and bringing them back is not going to help. They brought back NT with a revenge agenda and packed her off soon, didn't they? So no use bringing back characters who have already been introduced. My best bet is on Sam and Vicky. This will close all loops before the show ends (or goes for a rebirth). Barry has been there right through. he can easily conjour up a track which includes one or both of them.

Jyoti, I totally agree with you on the fact that the pre-confession phase of any love story is the most romantically charged and has the most pull for viewers. It is easy to create tension and drama when there are so many secrets still to be revealed, including mutual feelings, and that game of hiding and showing the love, with emotions running high. In this show too, undoubtedly as the TRPs showed, that was the case.

However, that doesn't mean that once all the romantic "milestones" are over once the whole story is over. There are still so many secrets to be revealed, potentially so much for Maan and Geet to discover about each other. I myself only discovered the show just after the marriage track but it still managed to draw me in because of the magical leads and the story behind them. Basically Geet was still good then. Maybe not as good as it was at its peak, but still good. Now, on the other hand, there is no denying that the show undeniably falls into the category of mediocre television at best.

So while I agree that it may never have the magnetic pull of pre-confession, that doesn't give license for the story to stagnate either. The stagnation in the story now is not caused by the fact that Maan and Geet have "been there done that". It is caused by the lack of creativity in the writers to give them an original story. I know I keep talking about the BR track but I really saw so much potential for it, a strong and driven couple, madly in love facing the world together and building a new life while fighting the demons of their past. It would have been a fresh start in itself and had already begun to resurrect the Maaneet we love. So you see? I just can't buy that there is nothing left in this story. Just because the story will never be as attractive as pre-confession, does not mean it still can't be good in a different way.

Also, I totally agree about Annie. Even though that track was a pain because it had almost nothing to do with Maaneet and cut their screen time, at least each character in it was well laid out. I swear we got more history and character depth for Arjun's wispy secretary than we got for Nandini, who is apparently now the lead of the show.

We need a writer who loves Maaneet and doesn't get wrapped up in their own creations. I vote for Barry to take up the story again.

@Opti:Vicky is too late now because they already created a female version of Vicky in the form of Annie and in thier family photo ,they replaced Vicky with Annie 😆 .,.so its clear that he cannot come back ...
Sameera is a possibility still but again I m putting Arjun-Annie as an option in case CVs dont want to hire a complete new actor just for 3 months phase because normally an actor is signed up for longer time if the actor has to b a good one or else we might get another version of Mel type actor as Sam😆..but getting old actors who were already part of the show for another 3 months is a easy option especially when those actors hv no show in hand ..
@Samana:I know that post marriage also lots of things can be discovered but I hv seen that this PH in particular hv thier limitations and they cannot carry a story after the confession phase with proper conviction ...they r best with the pre-confession phase and so we can see how in their other show also they r successfully showing this pre-confession phase ...so keeping in mind these limitations of the PH ,I m thinking of tracks which can bring our old Maaneet back ...😳

Jyoti, I understand now that you are speaking from the specific point of view of the PH, with knowledge of their history, which I have no idea about.

But to me this whole "good at the pre-confession phase" spells sheer laziness because to be honest, pre confession is the easiest thing to write. All the epic love stories are pre-confession. What happens post confession, or scarier, post marriage 😲 is not a subject that many have dealt with in a romantic way. So there is plenty of inspiration for pre-confession tension but for post-confession or post-marriage the writers would actually have to use their own brains and come up with a story. Yep, I see the problem here. 😆

But there are people who have dealt with epic love post marriage in a beautiful way, Mani Rathnam being the best example. I loved Abhishek and Aishwarya's domestic romance in Guru, or the marriage he showed in "Bombay". This is why I was so excited when there were plans for Geet to be inspired by Saathiya, another MR creation. I would have loved to see that happy, domestic, struggling, fighting, maturing phase of Maaneet.

With leads like GC and DD who can pull off pretty much anything with elan, it's a pity the CVs could not bring anything more creative to the table post marriage, except for Barry's short-lived attempt.

I still say kick Pandey out and bring Barry back. The man knows what he is doing, knows romance and drama and he knows Maaneet.

Hola Devilz .. love the discussion..

Jyo one question .. you're saying they can bring Swati/Vincent back for a fresh start...do you think these two would ever return to this show? They're already so wrapped up in the other show that they'll be there for quite some time .. or can they work on two shows at the same time? Swati .. for a while worked on RBO and it ended..then she was free and was roped in by Nissar .. I'm guessing if she was given the offer to come to GHSP she would've flat-out refused after seeing the state of our show thanx to MP .. she would've been afraid to enter and see the absolute destruction they've done to the show she once wrote for with passion...
But a fresh new start..does that always guarantee a new set of writers? Idk but if it does MP should get the boot ..and if Swati/Vincent don't want to return I agree with Samana..tell Barry to do it because he handled the short-lived BR track so beautifully!

Behna it is easier to get BALH couple on the show since they are from the same channel na...
next Swati won't come...i heard she too has a big ego...she left because of inside problems...and i also heard that she was annoyed with the fact that Geet was made to forgive dev, this shocked her...pretty sure she wouldn't want to fix any damage done by others...
i pissed...as it is that they don't know how to fix the damage...which is just plain BullSHIT...is 4 lions not associated with the show? their damned name still pops up at the end...when the show finishes...they r the fools that brought the GHSP concept...they know the story can't they guide the new writers and creatives? Nissar is producing the DAMN show...he knows what it was about...he worked on it no?
curse these useless fools.

@Z:A fresh new start is the only option to survive post revamp becuase with new shows obviously they wont carry this GHSP ka current stale track and characters na because all other shows will hv fresh new love stories whereas Maaneet love story is almost over and done with ../so how can GHSP compete with other star desh shows if it is not given a new look ??
And mayb fresh new start will make these 4Lions take a bit of interest in the show as well since it will b on a new channel star desh and their reputation will b at stake 🤔
