Confused about few things

Yes that does not make any sense, if you watch the last weeks episode without the bias of prem leaving, the week would have been very interesting, initially prem seems to be saying goddbye to evryone, then they show his dream abt aditi getting hurt..... all very suspenseful, but it all had no effect bcos of the news of prem leaving, so the trps actually dropped, what was the whole point of it, and the news was given by ekta herself

2 Why do a special phone interview thing on SBS? That too in Balaji office. Since it was done there it means the creatives were aware of the entire thing because otherwise how would Aditi be at the show even though Harshad finised his shoot she still would have to shoot her scenes, right? Ekta not necessarily knows of all things because she has around 15 odd shows at any given time. Its the creative head who is the captain of the ship and they brief her about the show. I think right now she' s only concentrating on Mahabharat and the new show replacing Kahaani.The creatives definitely must have seen the feedback the news of Prem's death has received.

Again, if balaji arranged it why didnt they have something definate for harshad to tell the audience, he seemed to agree that prem should not have left, even aditi said that, so the whole blame was laid at the creatives door, so who arranged the whole thing??? not ekta who came in between and didnt seem to have any idea what was going on???

3 In tellychakkar interview Harshad mentioned that he has been messages from his fans and also the channel has been receiving messages from his fans. Meaning everybody connected to the show is aware of the reaction to the news.

6 I don't think this was a publicity stunt. Bcoz if it was it would have lasted only till Prem died. How would they sustain the show after that? With regards to the current TRP it clearly indicates that people have already moved on to different show at the same time - Sri Krishna on Colors (8.30 pm and its no 3 in TRPs). They'll have to do something very drastic and very fast.

Could all this be publicity for the new show, which doesnt make sense bcos harshad may not be in it !!!

7 Why did they show Prem give up so easily? I don't think they'll show the blast scene again because right after they showed prem thinking of everyone they showed the whitening of the pics. So do they find his body (not to worry even if they show his face Balaji can bring back the actor as someother character. They have done that many times before. Om in Kahaani died calling out Paravati's name and after sometime they brought him back and showed that the person who died was a fraud!!)? Also while showing Prem's memories they showed the scene where he takes heer as his wife and promises to be with her for 7 lives (i am sure those scenes were shot after they had decided to kill prem's character). What is the significance of showing that there. Also like someone else mentioned the boy who prem rescued was concidentally wearing the same kind of dress that Prem was (don't know if that's relevant or was it a mere conicidence?)

well i think we notice these things much more than the creatives do, they do not need solid reasons to being a character back to the show, they can make some cock and bull story and we will have to accept it, what else can we do? there have been many instances in the show when prem and heer have been next to each other, not being able to see each other but cannot recognise each other by their voices...

As somebody else in the forum mentioned why kill the character? I mean, they could have easily shown a plastic surgery or something where Prem the character is still alive. By killing the character they have completely ruled out the possiblity of plastic surgery (but then again this a Balaji show anything can happen). This leaves with only two options one bringing Harshad back but as a totally different character (somebody who is totally the opposite of Prem) or bringing some new actor as a new character for Heer.

I dont think a new character or prem in a different character makes any sense, the connection is between prem and heer, not heer and someone who looks like prem,

I am confused. What do you guys think?
