@DashnJess2297 Good point - although I cannot help feeling the emphasis on the A&D friendship in all this PR is to blunt the intense dislike of D (or at least the romance) otherwise just have her back as A’s friend by incl the romnce will distract from that friendship and all that could bring
@sapphicstirling@Dashspantry I hope I am self-aware enough to apologise for a comment - I stand by the first part that I have not observed what you have - & criticism of a storyline is not abuse - however the last line of my comment was unfair. you did copy both of us so see why it was felt directed as such
@Dashspantry@dmfa1991 how would that make D a villain or the characters cruel? only if either of them know how A feels which we are assuming they don’t which is why (imo) if they go down that path is because the show intends to abandon S&A as an option 😢😭😭 i just can’t see how they would progress
@Dashspantry@dmfa1991 Umm I am not so sure - the D CS angle was a pretty uninspiring story arc and (seems) a repeat of A&G (but worse due to A&D’s friendship which was not a problem with the Gerald s/L - I am more and more moving to the view that they are running out of ideas 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
@Dashspantry@dmfa1991 Agree the bf is where I struggle a grown man moving from affair with one BFF to the other is tasteless & it would have to impact their friendship - unrealistic otherwise - so i surmise that the showrunners have decided to kill off S&A as a couple completely in the series
@Dashspantry@sapphicstirling I agree - I read that re: misogynistic & thought where ? I have not seen anyone refer to her as a ho or whore (forward yes) & since when did critique of a character & a story arc become misogyny- I feel this person may need to check on the meaning of the word
@JulesMangoFilm Thanks ! - I very much expect scenes that I will struggle to watch but for me those very scenes will put an end to S&A - Siegfried having an affair with one adult woman BF then moving on to the other BF is just not for me - being similar ages to Aud & D that is just off
@DashnJess2297@SuzanneFlink@dmfa1991 I agree - so much has happened since A&G which now we are expected to all have collective amnesia about (including seemingly the characters themselves) it is just such a cliched detour
@Betsypaige24@GolfcartMozart@DashnJess2297@claraxgm I agree that fans (especially in S6) were baited terribly. I go back through all the PR and it was not the fans who were delusionally seeing what was not there - that is what makes me angry - they seem to be now taking a position of blaming the fans for their S&A view….
@SuzanneFlink@twelvepeas it was not the fans who went there (although some of us saw it from the first ep but I for one thought that was just me and a few others) but their s/l’s (more than in S6) were quite blatant & their own PR led many who had not thought that so it feels manipulation? Or just odd.
@eannereads@curly_erin Good point but that theory doesn’t seem consistent with her appearing in the CS as she did but as you say - who knows….but if she checked in with him it certainly didn’t stop him from becoming a drunken, difficult lothario 🤣🤣🤣 that was A….
@Dashspantry Agree that is perfect articulated “nonsense” struggling to figure out why the showrunners thought this storyline was worth taking up again..
@Dashspantry Not that I am nearly as excited as I normally am for a new series but has a date been mentioned…….although sadly i think i will not be watching …..
@DashnJess2297@Vivamorla I find it interesting (not) how they have changed the narrative in the media - to “some” fans whereas definitely in 2025 the media narrative was “many” fans..a subtle but foreboding change especially as their PR and S/L were so blatant last year - now making us out as weirdos
