I think, the negative characters in TR are not that overwhelming if compared to most of the ITV shows but the fact that TR has kept most of its focus on the positive characters all along makes it a bit tough for people to deal with the suddenly increased screenspace of the negative characters. Usme actress change makes it tougher but yes, TR viewers are not used to so much of negativity because of how TR has been all along which is where I think the show won. ❤️
That's very true...even as much as we may hate these two characters, they are still better than the antagonists in other shows. And at least, no one else in the show supports either HC1 or HC2! Usually, the negative leads have some support within the family which makes it even worse.
But like you said, TR only has positive characters almost all the time, even during the drama episodes, that so much screen space to a negative character is hard to digest for us, esp since she comes between Shappu and makes Appu cry.
