Reemz I will go to your second part first. I really liked the episode. It is very mature on the part of writers and CVs to show its viewers not only just lovey-dovey scenes between the main leads or drama in each and every episode but to expand and include other characters acting skills along with them. I enjoyed seeing kumari yash convo a lot. Bechara saras cannot see or think anything in front of crying kumud. His only wish remains is to ease her pain. What a sweetheart he is. Kumud chorni emotionally blackmail kiya saras ko for the moti.
Coming to your first part I too would agree that their is more drama when Samud are kept apart but getting them not married the second time might also be suicidal to SC track will be too repetitive.Cvs have a lot of options for creating drama other then saas-bahu.I would like to see an angry Gumaan when she realizes danny is married to the daughter of someone she hated all her life. And we have this mystery man who as of today we are not sure whose relative he will turn out to be. His love-hate track will add additional drama. And not to forget Kalika and her siyasat ki jung is still active If CVs do not drop it like many other tracks. Than we have saras confrontation with his dad too. I think their is still lot of other good tracks to be followed.
