Vinnie, Sometime ago, there was a show 12/24 KB. The sister in the show was a positive character. I really loved her character. She was just awesome! The storyline however decided to go in another direction as they could not develop a storyline for her. The role reversal was just unbelievable...it was so horrible that the moderator of the forum, the late Ramas, could not stomach the show and asked for the CVs to end the show rather than create this storyline. Fans of the show pleaded for the show to end. The ruining of this character was plain awful to watch; just like TVS, she was principled and was the voice of reason to the lead character...the girl was expected to sedue her brother-in-law and turn on her sister whom she loved dearly. Towards the end of the show we never saw the character again; we didn't even know what happened to her!! It's like she was never even part of the show!!! Later, we learned they did it for TRPs. Another actor on the show as also turned negative to the point he attempted to rape a character on the show (again for TRPS). Very little was done in the way of developing his change. While he ws not a "nice" guy, he certainly did not present as a rapist.
See Vinnie, the writers really wanted to show TVS as an evil, lecherous character - someone we were not supposed to trust and they never gave us any clues because they thought it would be a good twist to make him evil all of a sudden. That's not how you write a story; you cannot turn a character from night to day without a valid reason and without there being something present from the beginning. It's the art of a good storyteller; this is not good storytelling.
Moreover, taking a character the public loves and destroying them to the point they become unrecognizable for ratings or uplifting another character is wrong. It does not play well at all. I mean look at TVS; he's unshaven, sulking, looking weak and miserable...the TVS I saw earlier would a) never have deceived Sugni and b) divorced his wife if he saw her again and c) if he had deceived Sugni, told her that he would never interfere in her life again and d) pack his bags and move back to Delhi so she wouldn't have to see him again.
So what are the writers doing? Creating situations for them to run into each other over and over again! How boring and uncreative.
