SP would've also had plenty of drama and MU's (the type we folks here normally don't like to watch). One of Sonu or Kartik would've definitely been a villain, and perhaps even Kartik's mother too.
SP's 8.30-10 shows are pretty much trash for the modern generation of viewers. MHRW and SAAKK which aired at 6.30 and 7 a bit more youth focused and have better storylines, but don't rake in as much TRP. Ghum perhaps somewhere in the middle.
SP yanked SAAKK off just weeks after it lost its leader slot to Udaariyaan. Some rumours that MHRW could go the same way too- they've now got the Ghum director on board.
Ahaan on SP would've also perhaps been a MCP hero rather than the softer" thanks, sorry, ok I'll do what you say" types that we're seeing now.
This serial could've worked in the SP 6-7.30 slots too (but TRP would've been an issue with SP being ruthless these days)
Sony IMO still remains the best choice for serials with relatively saner storylines and characters, albeit their style of ending new ones is a bit worrying too. Just that newer shows should probably launch after KBC, and their makers should probably sign a fixed 7-8 month contract with SET India.
