Every character has its arc and will go through things they are supposed to! I have read fan fiction that is way different than how the characters are supposed to be. But it is what it is. I think a lot of people use them as a coping mechanism too, to escape reality. And that blurs the line between fiction and reality. As I said the key is detachment! I am a hard-core bibliophile and write essays, interpretations, and stories for my enjoyment! So it's fun for me! And yes a scene can be interpreted in many ways! We, literature students, say that if Ravindranath or Shakespeare interprets their own stories in exams and explains them, they will be disqualified!
The writers are always coming up with plots that can satisfy both online and tv viewers and are unique and true to the characters! It's a huge job tbh and ITV doesn't give you much room for creativity and most of the characters overstay their potential leading to downfall! It's disappointing!
