I feel giving a slight benefit of doubt to her on this is fair because if she had such influence with respect to the storyline, her character arc would not become the joke it is today.
She is personifying the character, most people are watching for which is why there is no show without her presently. But her indispensibility has not translated into progress in terms of the plot. Assuming she had a say, surely she wouldn't let this devolution into a caricature happen and also for GK's character degrading, considering they are supposed to be inherently linked for the future. Don't they have more of a bond than her with the hero?
If we go back to the time when there were speculations of a cold war, the one takeaway could be that they don't get along, so they're not necessarily going to be on the same page here.
From where I see, the tracks subtly or gradually end up favouring one character ultimately, who has also commented about his indirect influence and that is not her. Anyway, I think this is a discussion meant for another topic. Sorry, I induced this discussion. Only meant to respond cheekily to @Musketeer_95 about the so called empowerment.
At this point, the makers, writers and the two actors dont care for audience at all, they know whatever they do ratings will be high, they will get money and awards. So its all a big ego thing and they pick and choose story lines
They dont care what it seems like, they will just do what they feel like. Why should they care, they are getting money and awards both. They can make these regressive episodes and then go to interviews and claim its a progressive show.
Success have gone to their head and they are behaving like all egotical people do, just like Musk with Twitter, they believe they are untouchable and dont care what people think.
