I wished they had made Sophia a stronger character - from a young gullible lady to a fearless woman won't would not go back to her vomit (in this case Antonio is the chief vomit). A woman who is independent and can defend herself without breaking into tears.
So I created three directions the show should have taken to strengthen the character of Sopiha and give her some control of her life. Do read and share your thoughts.
Alternative endings the story should have
followed;
Alternative 1 –Sophia has a miscarriage which
leaves her and Antonio devastated, and unable to reconcile. Sophia’s loss
strengthens her negatively and she embarks on a revenge mission to take down
Camilia and everything dear to her. She ends up getting her revenge through
well planned strategy which includes some mentally tormenting traps that leave
Camillia paranoid and finally sentenced to a mental institution.
Due to the Camilia’s drama, the project never takes
off, both Rocky and Antonio realizes that Sophia has changed a lot and not the
gentle easy to manipulate girl they fell in love with. Rocky decides to take
his relationship with his band mate to another level and forgets his fight with
the Brandowhile Antoniomeets the Vet Miranda whose kind heart reminds him a bit
about the innocent Sophia
The show ends with Sophia in a new town looking
more confident and wise. A young rich man approaches her and they seem to
engage but she is shown as much more in control and bold
Alternative 2 – After Sophia is cleared of theft,
she realizes she doesn’t want anything to do with the Brando Family. The only
way to do this would be to abort the pregnancy. She offhandedly tells this to
her brother in anger after she learns he works for Antonio. Her brother rushes
to get Antonio to stop her. Antonio gets to the hospital and is outraged to
meet an un-pregnant Sophia. He is disappointed in her and does not want
anything to do with her. Antonio’soutbursts infuriateSophia who feels he is
unjustified in his outbursts. She irrationally feels the need to make Antonio
and Camilia pay for the pain they caused her. She achieves this by playing a
video of Antonio and Camilia having sex to a public with all the Brando clan
present.
Gonzalo divorces Camilia and when he finds out that
Antonio’s mother knew about the sordid affair erroneously believe that all the
Brando family knew. In anger he teams up with the Vladiri to destroy the
Brandos. Camilia goes in hiding to avoid the shame although she continues to
meet Antonio in secret. Sophia begins to date Rocky to spite Antonio, at first Antonio
appears affected but with time becomes used to the relationship. Gonzalo and
the Vladiris are finally able to take over the Brandos Company and this leaves
Cecilia, Pedro and her daughter in-law bankrupt and dependent on Antonio for
survival. At same time Antonio gets to know that Camilia is not really his
cousin and wants to make their relationship official though he still keeps to
his dog ways
Rocky and Sophia changes after Rocky sees his
former manager doing badly and the manager reminds him to remain the good Rocky
no matter what as tides can change. The show ends with us seeing the kind and
good Rocky and Sophia we knew before
Alternative 3 –Antonio’ssuit to take full custody
of his son with Sophia saddens her but this sadness turns to fury when she
realizes that the Cecilia Brando was going to play dirty. Sofia rejects her
lawyer’s suggestion to ask Cecilia to testify in her favour. Sophia gets her
lawyers to sue the Brando Company for fraud, defamation of character and
attempted murder. She’s around when the suit is delivered in the presence of
Cecilia and promises the latter war for taking the wrong side. Sophia uses
Rocky to get the call that transpired betweenCamilia and her. This recording
proves that Camilia intended to hurt the child. Sophia ends up keeping the
child, her job and monetary compensation.
The Brando considers Sophia’s defence a betrayal
and plot to kick her out of their company. However, Sophia is now wiser and
fails to fall into any of their traps. She convinces the Vladiri she desires to
destroy the Brandos whilst in actual sense she wants to use the Vladiri take
over Brando Construction. Camilia is unhappy with Antonio’s relationship with Miranda
and tries unsuccessfully to break them up. Sophia tricks Rocky into selling his
houses and also manages to get the Vladiristo entrust her and give back Brando’s
properties and shares in their care to Sophia’s name. Camilia believes that
Sophia would be the perfect person to break up Antonio’s blossoming
relationship the only snag is that all Sophia is interested in is building an
empire. Camilia devises a plan to get Sophia interested in chasing after
Anthonio. Sophia surprises all to unveil a friendly hostile takeover of the
company from both Vladiri and Brando to form a Santana Brando Company. Rocky is
livid that Sophia played him and in anger promises revenge.
The Brandos are impressed by Sophia’s achievements
but still hate her guts and accuse her of being a social climber like they
thought. Sophia puts them in their place as she reminds them that Brando
Company had nothing and it was she who resurrected it and she is proud that her
son can have something good to inherit.
Camilia in a desperate attempt to get Sophia do her
bidding kidnaps Nick but gets caught in the process. She is charged to court
and gets imprisoned. Sophia reconnects with Doc during this time and both
decide to give each other another chance.
Two years later, we see Rocky has been trying to
bring Sophia down but fails as she is one of the most important personalities
in town. Sophia is with Doc, their hands
are intertwined in a commissioning party. A little male kid runs to where they are
and is immediately picked up by Doc, Antonio and Miranda are at the tail of the
kid. They both exchange pleasantries with Sophia and Doc and we see Sophia get
distracted by a familiar figure. The figure is revealed to be the Bahamas Soothsayer who shows her shock at the turn of events. Sophia
explains that the love was not meant to be and though the child custody
arrangement is not easy on both sides they have been able to accept that it is
something both have to deal with for the child’s well-being.
So what do you think about any of these endings?
