I have over recent weeks come to the conclusion that Kausautii writers don't utilize a storyweave - which is needed to keep the main storyline, characters and character growth straight. And if you have something that will run into years you need a storyweave to identify tracks and treads left untied (because you can always come back to them.) That is why the sudden changes of tracks and character ooc moments are so obvious. A good creative can turn a good character bad and vice versa at any time - without disrupting the storyline or storyflow. It just requires planning not butchering. Anything can be validated, given the correct foreshadowing and circumstances. It usually starts with the question - what will it take for that person to do or become (whatever)? And then work from that point forward or backwards as needed.
AS to the audience... I believe, both as a creative and an individual, to respect my audience. That means respect the fact that they have a brain and are capable of logic reasoning. This is ITV. So I don't expect the same level of attention to detail I would from international shows - but I really don't think it is cool to depict the very people the common man relies on to maintain law and order as less than capable. So audience considerations, to me, is a poor excuse. The audience a show has is directly related to the quality of content the show has. The younger viewers of today are far more savvy than they wee ten years ago - they have higher levels of expectation, would want that expectation to be met at least.
As far as love and the leads are concerned - I would need a post on that alone, since the depictions on screen and requirements from creatives are driven by social circumstances and opinions - and that is far too complex to go into here.
As for Anurag fighting for his love... that would be the Anurag we want to see...
Sadly Bajaj will be the one who get tossed under the bus as i see the creatives turning the cards on him and depicting him as the one responsible for separating Sneha and Prerna. Anurag is being made to look the victim so we'll be more likely to forgive him.
And as a creative I cringe at it all - because I don't believe that one should manipulate an audience like this.
I cannot really argue with you about the shoddy creativity and story telling, because since day 1, this show has only relied on the chemistry between the leads to run it. And when that's the case in a show whose format involves those very leads being separated, we have a problem.
As for justifying without butchering, these creatives have never been able to do that.they've never been able to present strong characters who hold their own against each other and still propel the story forward. The character butchering has been the only constant right from the get go. Anurag had to be butchered to bring in Bajaj. By making him do out of character things like trying to commit suicide, the creatives tried their best to elevate Bajaj and sell the Bajaj-prerna storyline which unfortunately had no takers. Once again, in bajajs comeback track, anurag had to be butchered to make way for Bajaj to enter as the savior. I would've personally loved a storyline where the two men planned and plotted to "save" prerna and she found out and blasted them both and went away, and returned after 8 years like a boss lady. But that didn't happen, and we had the same trope of a vampish villain, a sacrificing hero, a distressed heroine and a savior with or without ulterior motives. This is their second attempt. If this fails again, then they have no option but to fall back on their tried and tested methods and Bajaj will be held responsible. But I'm not sure about that happening now, because the jury on the success of Bajaj and Bajaj and prerna pairing in this second attempt is still out. In any case this saga will continue.
