Making a Good Decision

A few years ago, Gifted Performer (GP) and Attractive Discovery (AD) fell in love. Both were single and starting careers in their network. While the idea seems right, the circumstances at that time said their love was wrong. GP was starring in soap that was surprisingly doing well in the ratings and he was earning raves for his superb acting. Meanwhile, AD was being hyped up by the network as the next breakthrough discovery.

GP and AD had to deny that they were together. The camp of AD was very protective and did not want her to be associated with GP. The two would go on dates, but would attempt to hide the sweetness between them. When interviewed by reporters, both denied they were special to each other. As the career of AD was being charted, her image needed her to be unattached, as commitment will diminish the fantasy attraction towards her. Finally, she broke up with GP. The break up was made publicly and it was too late for GP to salvage their love, even though he said that he still loves her then.

This heartbreak was often pinpointed as the root of the spiraling of GP. His follow-up soap did not last as expected, as he was becoming difficult to work with. Worse, rumors of bad habits and questionable sightings came up. His family had no choice but to intervene. For a time, GP disappeared. Because AD chose career over love, everyone thought she made the right choice, but the ratings told otherwise. Her projects did not at all fare well because she was not as capable as expected. Thus, she hardly had lead roles in any projects of the network.

After sometime, GP re-emerged and his comeback made an impact in the business. Upon regaining his confidence, he sought AD, who was still uncommitted. Allegedly, the original plan was to make her fall in love with him and dump her. The plan failed, as GP fell in love with AD again. This time, there was no more hiding and all seemed well. With positive times came projects and acceptance.

The quiet relationship was not to last. After a series of events, GP broke up with AD, but the reason was that such a decision was the best option, and not part of his original plan. Other than not adhering to his decision not to go out of town, GP was unhappy at one of the covers AD did. Because he chose to stay, he thought AD would remain as well, but the management made her go. The succeeding events led to complications.

While AD wanted to attend an event with GP, she was told by an executive not to show up, as the situation was still tense. Besides, the network valued more the bankable loveteams, which AD and GP were not part of. The network had already invested in the outfits of possible people who might get involved in case something untoward might happen. Not surprisingly, AD went up to top-level management, and she was told to go, as she would be taken care of. She wanted to go with GP, but he refused the idea because he was still much upset.

The frustration of GP was worsened by people who allegedly fanned the flames. GP started sending messages to the person concerned, who ignored the messages, but did run to an executive to show that he was being threatened. Finally, GP resorted to a public forum, but after a few hours, the message, which felt really serious to followers, was deleted. GP might have realized that it was no use challenging a network’s prized gem.
