Okay, am so late to the party.
I think if AryLie marriage does happen sometime soon it'll be "convenience by choice", as many have pointed out already. Aka: both are in love with each other but unwilling to admit it.
No kbm or forced marriage, please no. My heart can't take it. I know I predicated forced marriage based on Imlie's BS-ing. But the way the AryLie dynamic have unfolded leaves me feeling like this is not where the story is going. The 50/50 partnership was the show's idea, not ours. So I think this is how they will continue.
Also, I don't trust that promo. Its the same style as Adini wedding day 2.0, with Imlie screaming BS and running towards the mandap. The voiceover wasn't there in the actual airing of the episode.
On the whole second shooter and Aryan being blamed thing, I'm not sure. It would mean that the show wants to convince us that Adilie have a chance still, and I just don't see it. I feel like if GM were continuing on, then yes, because Aditya would have to be slightly redeemable and sympathetic for the triangle to continue. With a new actor coming in to replace GM they will use this opportunity to change the vibe of Aditya and Adilie for once and for all. And there's no way they're letting Aditya die.
Once "new Aditya" lands I feel a harassment track ensuing shortly after PD. I think if AryLie marriage does happen soon, it will be driven by many factors, one of which will be Aryan attempting to keep "new Aditya" away from Imlie, but with her agreement of course.
Also I think maybe the source got their shows wrong. I feel like if an AryLie marriage does happen, it's much more likely to happen March than Harshad's character in Yeh Rishta. Abi needs wedding drama to survive and March is too long of a break for him😆.
Of course this is assuming that AryLie marriage is happening soon, which I don’t think it is.
