I don't think any character "deserves" it, but I want Chryed to get an ending that is fitting for Julia's Theme. Because I believe in them, and their original storyline was really important to a lot of people, and for a lot of people. A few weeks of dodgy characterization and storytelling doesn't erase that.
I get that you don't like them and that's fair enough. So would you care that much if they did get the theme anyway?”
Even though I don't feel they deserve it I think it matters because JT is normally used for significant events and to use it for the exit of two supporting characters where I don't believe anything is going to change for them moving forward would make a mockery of that.
Chryed have been on a merry-go-round of abject misery for months and months now, it is not just the past few weeks. The Syed coming out story perhaps had a positive impact but that was years ago and doesn't have any bearing on the development (or lack of) of the characters now. A happy ending is not really going to fit with what we have seen on-screen recently.
Tbh I would question how positive the Syed coming out story actually was for people in similar situations. Some of the more sensational aspects of the story probably did more harm than good for many I would've thought so while I'm sure there are some who were helped by it, I can imagine for others it had the opposite effect. No denying it was a great story though but 'Chryed' should've left in 2010 after their story had been told cos ever since the foundations of their relationship have been pulled from under them.
