I was thinking that the trauma in this case is Andrew seeing himself in the mirror and realizing that he really is Elena now and there's no going back. His life as a man is truly gone forever.The "too deep method acting" combined with the memory loss could come from a heavy trauma Andrew experience, which should technically be right after leaving the hospital. If we try to stay more medical/"realistic" here then it must have been so bad that his mind escaped into the Elena persona as a defensive mechanism. I'm unsure if just being full in makeup and seeing the new Elena-disguise is what caused the memory loss alone.![]()
I want bad endings for bad people and good endings for good people. The problem is I can't tell who is good and who is bad yet!I'm curious to hear what type of endings the rest of you are hoping for.
For me, Andrew chooses to stay as Elena. Reality is altered so that Elena has always existed. Nikos has always been the loving husband of Elena. Elena is the real mother of Eva and Sofia. Marina never married Andrew since he never existed, so James can be turned into her real husband without us fans hating on Marina and feeling like the story went too NTR-ish (not that I have any problems with NTR).
Because of the whole "forced/unhappy marriage" thing, there's still the possibility that even Andrew and/or Marina are bad. If Andrew is bad, I'm fine with him being trapped as Nikos' sex slave. If he's good, I want him to accept/enjoy being Elena and to find happiness with someone else who's good. Maybe Nikos, maybe Marina, maybe Seferi. If Marina is bad, I'm fine with her uncle stealing her husband from her. If she's good, I want her to end up with either Elena or James. If Nikos is good, I want him to finally find happiness with Elena. If he's bad, he should go to jail. Or get killed by Toska or something. In order for me to feel like this is a well-written story, the mafia subplot definitely needs to be heavy integrated into the ending, which your ending doesn't account for at all. Can you find a way to integrate Toska/Seferi/Joel/Gjoka into your ideal ending somehow?
