The trp is stable as well as their position in the charts. They're taking it slow with the leads (correcting the mistake they did last season which forced them to take a leap very early and also to bring another love interest for the FL)
Tbh I'm very neautral about the writing. It gets frustrating for sure but skipping scenes of literally every other character except the leads help. I actually like how they are building up the romance and their story. I like Armaan's character, Abhira can be annoying sometimes but I've seen much worse when it comes to itv FLs. I'm enjoying watching the show. The day i don't no one and nothing can make me watch a show with characters like Ruhi and Dadi.
And tbh i see two very different opinions about Rishta's writing atm. One is on the forum and the other on Twitter which believes Rishta is doing very good in terms of writing like very very good
So i personally think they are doing fine. I've seen worse.
I think I'm neither here nor there when it comes to the writing.. while I agree completely they're doing better than last season, I don't think they're doing very well either lol.. they're just being what they've been always! They have the good days in between many bad days!! And that's okay.. I've been watching ITV long enough to understand this is how long running shows work especially when they are in the TRP race! I may have my problems with tracks and characters but I get that the show ultimately serves only what there TRP audience likes and appreciates.
I can appreciate that Armaan's growth and Abhira's arc as ITV leads have to ultimately meet the destined fate at the hands of the writers on most days.. But I have to admit some days the loopholes are too jarring and the unending and unilateral support of one character over the other gets the better of me to want to vent here but at the end of the day, these are fictional characters that are written to be both right AND wrong based on circumstances! No one character can be forever right (as much as we may believe it) and no one character can be forever wrong (as much as we may want it desperately) (Ruhi is an exception
).
I enjoy the episodes as a few scenes strung together as a standalone. Watch it like a show continually and that's where the problem starts! And worse, watch it from the prism of just one character and it's popcorn time on the forum!
