I'd Ultimately Be Okay With A Pw Endgame As Well As Long As The Characters And Storylines Stay Interesting And Are Done Justice - Tumblr Posts
I still stand by my opinion that Ricky should stay single this season, and I still ship portwell. HOWEVER, I cannot deny that I am now intrigued with the Rina storyline, despite my reservations, bcs I think that it can do a lot for Ricky's character development. I would hope to see Ricky come to terms with his feelings for Gina, but decide to take a step back not just for her, but for himself as well. Like I said, I think he deserves a season of self discovery, and for him to not get involved in messy relationship drama again after everything. Seeing him take a step back for the sake of both their happiness is definitely a step up from season 1 Ricky, and shows that he's choosing himself first above everyth. (There's a post I saw talking about how this would be an improvement from season 1 Ricky, I'll repost it if I can find it again).
I would also want to see the portwell break up happen naturally, and not because Gina wants to run back to Ricky. Gina is happy in her relationship right now, even though there are issues rising, she's even thinking abt love. It is completely unjust to her character to suddenly drop her first relationship that has real feelings and go to Ricky after a few episodes. And again, I really don't want to see ej lose a girl to Ricky AGAIN. IF they are going to break up, I want to see it happen because they are in different places in their lives, on different pages, and ultimately decide to end things before they resent each other. Gina will need a proper amount of time to get over her heartbreak, before she can even consider having feelings for Ricky again.
Essentially, while I wish for a portwell endgame, if the Rina storyline is treated properly, I honestly don't think I'd mind a Rina endgame in future seasons (after I get over my initial disappointment). Just as long as it's not rushed now that Nini is out of the picture, and all the characters involved are done justice.
