Future of DeRo
Disclaimer: I admit to being a little scared of writing my first post here, so I apologize if I'm going about it the wrong way, being amateurish, annoying etc. Also this is kind of a conversation that continues what Spagettitoes started sometime ago in a post about the Exodus from the show. Here goes.....
Lately I've been reading about a general disillusionment, impatience, boredom with Show that I find interesting. There have been a few posts mentioning this regarding the show as a whole, but I'm interested in how this relates to DeRo as individual characters/fictional couple.
I love looking back at old DeRo because I enjoy the hell out of their storylines, but it really makes me appreciate where the show has taken the couple and where they are now. There's something a bit more grounded about Roman and especially Deniz, at least that's what I read into their relationship after everything they've been through. But the nature of their relationship now has affected their potential for storyline. The usual, more obvious sources for DeRo drama have been used up.
1. Deniz and Roman have broken up twice already, so it becomes less interesting and less dramatic to break up a couple that has already seen their relationship end several times before.
2. Also, Roman's no longer a competitive skater and appears more comfortable in his role as trainer, and Deniz is not a model anymore. There's arguably little room for career-related angst unless conflict arises when/if Deniz begins to hit a glass ceiling at work because he has not completed his formal education.
3. Deniz seems to have a comfortable relationship with Marian, Roman appears to have a stable relationship with Florian. Pending any Egon visit or appearance by Deniz's mother or missing brother (which is something I'd like to see), DeRo have a pretty stable family unit that includes Marian and Florian.
I suppose this is all a long-winded way of saying that DeRo are in a nondramatic place. Roman seems more secure in his work, in his relationship with Deniz, and with himself. Deniz has grown up in a multitude of ways that makes him a more emotionally stable, mature character. I think it is possible for them to be involved in a captivating storyline again, but that it has become harder to do so. In general, what realistic, captivating storylines can Deniz and Roman have now after that they are an established part of the show? I'm interested in where people think the future of DeRo's storylines will lead, if anyone disagrees with me, etc. And at the very least, I just wanted to put the question out there. Thanks.
