What's the whole Sha'carri deal? Is that going to be a thing when MC ships off to college in a several updates time or is it an abandoned arc?
So far there's no word that it's an abandoned arc.
It's just that Sha'Carri goes to a different school in a different city and has had only two chances to actually interact or be in proximity with the MC: training camp and the Nikki beach date.
If the MC is allowed to join the track meet relay tournament we should be seeing more of her there.
But I see your point that she almost feels like an abandoned arc with so many other main ladies, unconfirmed main ladies and side ladies.
But your question suddenly gave me some "Intertwined" thoughts:
- Sha'Carri runs for Palm City High.
- Gabi used to run for Palm City High before moving to Madison Springs to teach. Santiago took an interest in her as a talent (and probably also romantically) back then. She either got married to him or was in some kind of relationship that has recently ended.
- Santiago is now interested in Sha'Carri as a track and field talent.
- According to Darryl, Dani Ramirez, Gabi's sister, used to beat Sha'Carri all the time before the hit-and-run incident.
And in soap opera fashion, I'm just speculating, it was Sha'Carri who ran over Dani and her mother haha.
- Was Santiago also interested in Dani as a talent?
- Gabi might know of or know Sha'Carri through Dani.
- Val is cordial with Sha'Carri as a rival.
- And Gianna is from Palm City. (Dylan mentions it in the bar.) Gianna probably knows Sha'Carri too. That would be a typical Nyx reveal.
- EDIT: There is tension between Tori and Sha'Carri.
So there's a lot of potential here for drama and it would be a shame to just let the Sha'Carri path die or be forgotten.
Will that weekend meet be enough or do we would need some kind of week long or at least a few days long track meet at Palm City High for more Sha'Carri scenes?
