A much needed request.
Hi Varun
I have made it clear when I am not happy with the way certain things are depicted on this programme but my comments have alway been about the characters not the actors and made in what I think is a polite rational manner.
I have made the following comments, regarding actors leaving the show, which I stand by:
"There will be contractual and legal implications for actors if they choose to quit.
It will also I am sure damage their ability to secure future work not just with this channel but all channels. These TV companies have now become large powerful businesses that can make or break careers.
VB I think did try to point out the futility of turning the character of TVS into hard core negative and for a time I believe that he thought he may have succeeded but then they seem to have changed their minds. I do not think we can ask for any more.
We the audience have the ultimate power by choosing to watch the program or not.
Whilst there are a number of us on the forum who have expressed our disgust at the storyline there is clearly a silent audience out there who are watching the show and do not have a problem so while the majority do not have a problem the program will continue down its current track."
"I know we are all very fustrated with the way the TVS character is being destroyed and sidelined.
But IMHO its not fair to ask/suggest that Varun should leave the show.
We all work and I am sure there are aspects of our jobs that we do not like/wish to do. However whether those aspects are sufficient for us to give up our job is a decision only that person can make. I am sure we would NOT like it if our acquaintances (I making the assumption we do not have fans š) suggested that we give up our job.
As fans of Varun's work (IMO) we have two choices:
- either keep watching and enjoying the acting but ignore the storyline;
- or stop watching until something better comes along. "
At present I still watching the show as for the moment I do not see anything in TVS's actions that has put me off (after that one Friday 9/11 episode). The day that changes I will excercise my right to stop watching.
Whatever happens, I do not regret starting to watch this programme as without that I would not have had the pleasure of seeing your phenomenal acting skills.
So thank you for breathing life into TVS for the last 8 months or so and making it entertaining
I appricate you are probably very angry/upset but hope you will not hold it against all of us and continue to visit at least this thread which is after all an appreciation thread of your talent and continue to comment.
