First of all I would not drag this abhay-kkusum relationship with this doctor character popping in. but after the sunday 1 hour long episode their relationship would be stronger and abhay would support kkusum 100 % in her maksad :
Reveal her identity to kumud and the world
expose mahi and tell everyone abt her 8 month disappearence
sohan's death ramesh death and trishul tashu involvement with vidhi
Mahi and tashu 's involvement
Arundhati chachi 's role
Make Kali a NICE HUMAN BEING and get her married to a nice guy other than garv or nakul
How esha had ruined them in the past and caused lali's paralysis
No EKTA has turned a blind eye to all this and she brings in a new character to keep the story dragging.
BY NOWEKTA shd be aware that the audience does not want to see abhay and Kusum apart and they want the evil people punished and the story have positive things hapenning.
MAYBE SHE NEEDS COACHING FROM THE MAKERS OF 'SAARTHI' .THat is the most awesome serial on tv at the moment and the story does not drag and each episode has something happening.
EKTA PLease bring kkusum back on track .
