I have not! The last I heard of it, it’d mysteriously disappeared, along with the SM. Which is probably a better drama than the actual series, from what you’re saying? Too bad, I really loved Yudh, as mild as it was.
Do you think rana will stay with Zee if he blackmails her? (I don’t think that’s the right way to phrase it sorry)
The phrasing’s totally clear. 🙂
I…think she will. For a bit. If she were a real person, maybe not, but as a character in a soap? I don’t see the point of even bringing it up if she won’t give in, for at least a little while. If it were to show her growth in refusing, well, her already telling him is evidence of growth enough!
It does depend on what he blackmails her with and what he wants from her. Although, I feel we’re going down this road a lot quicker than we need to, we’re not even sure if he does blackmail her, and if it’s an actual scheme past his initial, desperate wish that she not leave.

I’m so curious/excited about how the kate and rana story will pan out. I feel like the spoilers might not be what they seem. I’m excited to see how they will eventually be a couple.
Same! And nervous and apprehensive. All the feelings!
There have been definite unexpected twists here and there, and the dearth of spoilers about Kana specifically, not the individual ones, make me wonder what’s going to happen. You’d think that as soon as Rana tells Zee (and consequently leaves him?), Kate would fly back to Rana, but Sophie and Carla add wildcards to the situation. After all this, it can’t be a simple reunion after Rana tells Zee? What new drama will they add?

Have you seen the new spoiler pictures of Kate and rana? Zeedan apparently blackmails rana into staying with him and then it all goes down from there
I did see those, I did. Those aren’t the exact interpretations of the spoilers, I’d say, but that it’s even one of them is alarming for Zee’s characterization. Threatening to expose her? I’m sorry, whaaat? And her parents are there now??
Although, although, it makes a huge difference to me if HE thinks, oh, she had an affair with a dude and thinks her parents can convince her to stay with him, though I’m sure he knows they’ll only guilt and put pressure on her, it’s not going to be some loving “are you sure this is what you want?” conversation, so already, negative marks for Zee there. But if he knows she’s in love with a woman and threatening Rana about telling her parents that? NEGATIVE INFINITY MARKS.

There is a theory going around that Rana will attempt suicide. What do you think of this?
What, wow. A theory based on what?
I wouldn’t be surprised by it, but I wouldn’t like it. TRMD did exactly thism Rana and Jade’s stories parallel in a lot of ways, and Jade, through guilt and pressure, was driven to the same thing, and it wasn’t handled well there, and I don’t expect it to be handled well here. It’s something that shouldn’t be a small side plot as part of a major arc, it should get its own separate treatment.
That’s not to say that LGBT characters shouldn’t ever be portrayed as depressed or that they could never consider or try to commit suicide, but it shouldn’t be as a result of a fairly brief breakup, and then have any negative feelings go away once the couple is reunited. They can’t just treat it like someone going on a bender. And given how the show has just completely glossed over Adam’s attempt over Christmas, I would not put much faith in them doing right by it here
Though, while I wouldn’t be surprised, I wouldn’t expect it. There’s no real dramatic value in it right now. IF they were to pull such a thing, it’d be as a wake up call to the people around her, and there’s a long way to go where that’s at all necessary, and I’d expect any downward spiral to lead to leaving Zee and coming out, that’s her “nothing to lose” thing, and then for her to be supported enough by Kate and Imran to not go further.

What did Catia say to Susana at the bar? Also, does Catia know that Susana is in the mob? And is Susana suspicious of Catia knowing she’s a cop?
I believe she very imaginatively hit on Susana by suggesting her drink was too strong for her, to which Susana, a master of subtlety herself, replied she liked things that are strong and hard, so Catia’s like, actually, that’s what people accuse me of being and then of course they start making out.
I’ll go back and gif stuff with dialogue, when I can. I think Catia does know, I thought we were gonna get a reveal where she’d like, open a case folder and see Susana’s pic, but I guess she already knows. I don’t know if Susana is suspicious, there’s a bit more I’m gonna gif, but I think of the two, it’s Catia that probably has more to suspect. If Catia really was gonna investigate Susana, sleeping with her with her badge in her pocket was…not the best detective work.
Also! Apparently Catia’s canon gay and Susana’s canon bi. Like, it’s not just two ladies thrown together because why not.
