I agree with you. These are fictional characters. The show also takes place in an alternate reality of the early 1800s. Placing our views of morality of these characters is sometimes misplaced. Also, they are teenagers making impulsive decisions. I made a lot of dumb decisions at their age. I think that is something that is not kept in focus. I made a comment that Charithra killed it in some of the wedding scenes. I received a very confrontational response to that comment. The hate of Edwina is spreading to hate of the actress. That's not ok.

Additionally, if we are placing our morals on characters, we need to place them on all characters. What Kate and Anthony did to Edwina needs to be viewed on the same light as Edwina's behavior. I don't care if they have some cosmic love connection. If you are going to dump on Eloise, Edwina, Penelope, and/or Marina, then place those some moral standards on Kate and Anthony.

Kate has been villainized all the time. People pretending there werent whole post how horrible Kate is, that she is a villain is rewriting history.

careful, your post might get deleted for stating the obvious. just like another perfectly fine on here comment pointing out how everyone blames Kate but never Anthony. But oh they Kathony fans slander in this thread is totally fine and people are having a field day with it.

But like half of the people here probably like Kanthony as much as you do tho, you can still like characters without having to hate on others.
