Hgg, I always felt that the lonely wife, busy husband, handsome helpful neighbour track had immense potential if handled with maturity.

But the track sadly felt victim to the same copycat writing that marks all the shows.

this prashant track is as dumb and asinine as all the others

@pink, absolutely. The CV's never were alive to a more realistic Prashant, not black&white but nuanced, and more friendly less creepy like most normal men are... they just took the lazy route! It would have been fun watching a jealous Saras ;) Too demanding we are, I say! 😃

As an aside, here's some light entertainment - Dont know if any of you are familiar with Postman Pat - a UK children's show with a hummable title song - Postman Pat and His Black&White Cat... And then there's Climb Every Mountain from Sound of Music... What happens when you sing the first to the tune of the second - Hilarious, just like our TV world and its shenanigans (No Other Connection)

If the rumors are true then here's how it ties up...

- all said and done, the TRPs are not too great and SP will want to pull out this show and get a new one started asap...from SPs perspective a low TRP show is just wasting 30 minutes of media real estate and returns.

- transfer to a new PH from SLB was anyway a holding operation...it has been given quite a long rope and SP feels that now its time to end it.

- the show is a hit in UK and elsewhere, but it is the Indian audience which generates the advert related cash for SP through TRPs and pays salaries...so SP is saying to the overseas audience thanks but no thanks.

- GR & JW have a great, loyal and vocal fan-base. Neither the actors nor the show would want to break apart this only enduring aspect of this show. I also believe both may be into an exclusive contract.

- From SP perspective therefore even if the show is pulled, GR is part of the overall actor bench and 'investment'...It may not want to lose him to another channel...So GR is given a sort of a golden parachute by giving him an alternate show on another channel of SP where once again he may be the lead...Notice all the original SC bankable names are on board for this new show...Babbal, Utkarsh, GR..

- SP may not be having the same consideration for JW considering the past history & controversies around SC...so it is simply waiting for her contract to run its course...Perfect example of what hubris can do to you and a reminder that the hierarchies of power are ubiquitous all around each of us and they will destroy us in the end if we are not very careful. (e.g. recent Star Parivaar Awards hulabaloo...SP delivered a very visible message where it stands on this.)

- Which brings us to SC...looks like GR is definitely moving out of the show...the clarification reports coming out after the first announcement on this mention his character is ending but he is part of the show...which is splitting hairs...he will be on the show but on the bench like Kumari's character (shes not dead yet shes not around) or LN & Gumaan (to be brought in when required).

- SC fans are vocal and loyal but not that loyal (like the original IPK fans which forced SP to terminate the show rather than bring a new lead. This IPK phenomenon is a case study on the power of online media and fans). I do not see SC fans ready to go to war with SP if GR is replaced by another face.

I missed seeing IPK, but I believe there is less frenzy around changes around SC because:
(i) somewhere the leads' chemistry though packed with potential for a burning flame was never allowed to ignite beyond a few mandatory sparks here and there... Oh hubris!
(ii) there was a change of PH...and deviation from adherence to the source ...which caused story flip flops...increasing overall character inconsistency...leading to us fans later really not identifying with the leads...all of us reached a stage when we would be happy with a few seconds or at most minutes of Samud moments (and that too sub-standard if you compare the SLB days).

- So SP will do its final experiment...if it has been given time till Sept...it will close this Prashant track...unite the lovers...then kill of SC character probably through Gumaan...thereby once again realigning in a very amateurish manner with the source...Kumud back to living her life as a widow with no SC and LN forsaking Gumaan...

- In this final experiment if TRPs go up, they might get another few months extension...in which case they will screw it up more...public memory being short another SC will be resurrected...

If the rumors are false then this is just another desperate attempt to generate interest and consequent TRPs...though I fail to see how this will help in the long run.

In any case, the soul of SC died a long long time ago...what we have now are the twitchings of the husk left behind..

...I look forward to a new show with GR...that guy is a real talent and a class act and needs more opportunities to entertain us with his mettle and acting range.

Perfect analysis, you could not have said it in better terms. On a funny note, if they do kill Saras, maybe he will come out as a ghost then we will have a 'ghost' type of Saraswatichandra (remember the hollywood movie ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore)

I desire to know SLB's reaction about this SC killing track, and initial writer and director. I know it is very difficult to reach SLB, but if reporter's try then we can hope he will, after all it was his dream project.

Very bad idea whose ever idea it is. 😡

Perfectly put Kat. It has to be the story of Saras and Kumud, with Saras played by Gautam! That's it.

And we have confirmations and denials galore! I guess we have to wait and watch and find out for ourselves what it's all about.
