Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - revealing the truth of Siddharth, and his determination to go ahead

The serial is becoming much more interesting. There is some buzz that the serial will see the death of Siddharth in some time, and will also see a time movement of the serial by one year (a jump by one year). The serial is seeing 2 very interesting twists: There is the sudden presence of Mythili (who was dead more than a hundred years back, but is now back as another vampire); Siddharth seems surprised to see her there, but he is the one who has kept her and he will try to send Mythili as an evil personage out to take the place of Pia. And then you have the presence of the elderly gentleman who claims to a person who can find vampires and kills them (if you can kill a vampire).
On the other hand, Siddharth is taking Pia to show her something (Pia can be the most stubborn and seemingly idiotic character of the serial in some ways). She is willing to believe Siddharth over Abhay, who has done so much for her over the past, saved her life many times. Abhay is also trying to follow them so as to save Pia from Siddharth, even though she is blocking his thoughts and refusing to listen to what he is saying. Haseena also wants to come and save him.
Further, in another twist, Arnaab has got the vampire hunter to come to explain to his family who Siddharth actually is (remember, if somebody suddenly comes and tells you that the to-be son-in-law of the family is a vampire, then how would you react ?). They are not sure whether to believe him or not, but then Arnaab explains that Siddharth was the one who actually kidnapped and then threatened Arnaab with harm to Panchi if Arnaab told somebody about what Siddharth has done.

Hindi TV Serial - Uttaran - Tapu and Ichcha make up, to save Veer from enemies

Veer and his household have some new enemies in the form of Satya and Saanchi, a brother and sister combination who have come to take revenge from the household for everything they suffered a long time back. Satya, as a youngster, lived in the household, but was falsely accused of stealing a chain in the household by Vansh, and as a result, suffered a lot of humiliation, and hence is back for revenge.
Satya is pretending to be a friend of Veer, promising business, and comes in along with Saachi, who pretends to be blind. However, after some time, both Ichcha and Tapu start realizing that there is something suspicious, and both of them also see various circumstances that show that Saanchi is not actually blind.
Tapu sees this in the form of an encounter where she has come to visit Mr. Rathod, wanting to get him out of her life. He in turn wants Tapu to acknowledge that the child she has in her womb is actually his, and not Veer's (something that Ichcha already knows). She refuses to accept this in front of him, and then accidentally sees him with Satyavaan and Sachi, and sees Sachi reading the menu and doing other things that a blind person would never be able to do.
So, now both Ichcha and Tapu are trying to ensure that they do not let Satya and Sanchi carry out whatever plans they may have against Veer, and Ichcha has already prevented one such plan from being carried out, frustrating both Satya and Sanchi to some degree.

Hindi TV Serials - Pyaar Ki Ye Ek Kahaani - Lot of drama, Siddharth trying to make several moves, being foiled

The serial seems to be moving at a fairly fast speed, with the interactions between the 2 main competing characters deciding a lot of the action that is happening in the serial. The 2 main characters on the serial are Abhay and Siddharth, who were originally brothers when they were human, and both of them died in the conflict over the same princess centuries back, and both of them became vampires. So, while Abhay is the more good vampire, and always ready to help Piya, and those close to her, Siddharth fits the normal caricature of the vampire, pure evil, always ready to attack anyone and use anyone. They already show him attacking people who are alone in the forest at night. He is now after Piya, since he lost the original fight over the princess, and for this purpose, is feigning a romance with Panchi who has totally lost herself over Sid.
Abhay was constantly warning Piya against Siddhart, without telling her that he was a vampire, and in the end, when he saw that Siddharth was going to bite Piya, Abhay bit her first to prevent Siddharth from doing this. For some time, Piya would be like a vampire, but only till the next full moon after which she would become normal. In the meantime, Siddharth kidnapped Arnaab when he saw that Arnaab was learning the truth about him (because of the efforts of the former fiancee of Panchi, Danish); Siddharth scared Arnab that he would harm Panchi unless Arnab kept quiet. Sid had also tried to keep Hasina on his side by applying to her maternal instincts - this finally broke when a landslide happened where Chaand was caught and Sid tried to expose Chand by getting the doctors to do a number of tests on him. Piya managed to save the reports of Chand at this time and everybody was very grateful to her.
However, Siddharth did tell Piya that she must have been bitten by Abhay since she seems to be exhibiting the signs of a vampire, and she confronted Abhay, who finally admitted it; Piya has been very angry with Abhay over this.

Hindi TV Serial - Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hain - Akshara's pregnancy, and she gets lost for a couple of episodes

The show has moved a bit faster, because in most cases, the serial moves at a very slow speed (a wedding could take several months to happen, with the preparation for each function also getting shown). The last few episodes has covered the scene where Akshara became pregnant, a source of major joy for the family. Initially, she was apprehensive of how Naitik will feel, since in a discussion with Naitik, Naitik did express his thoughts that he was maybe not ready to be a father yet (at that time, Akshara had not told Naitik about her pregnancy as yet). However, when her pregnancy became known, Naitik and everyone in the family was very happy about this development, and they all wanted Akshara to slow down, eat more and rest more.
Her parents also wanted Akshara to come home for some time, since they were very happy for her pregnancy as well; Akshara also wanted to spend time at her home with her family and with her young niece. At the same time, Naitik also wanted to spend time with Akshara, and decided to stay with her at her house. This led to a slight comical situation where Naitik was there, and they were asking him to at least eat dinner before leaving, and he stated that he did not want to leave, and instead wanted to stay along with Akshara.
Like many other serials where a pregnancy is shown, there was the situation where Akshara could have tripped on the stairs, and they showed that in a precap, but in reality, Akshara recovered and did not fall (although everybody got very scared at the thought that Akshara could have taken a fall and something happened to her baby).
After this, another major incident happened where Akshara went to the locker room of the bank, but due to a mistake and confusion, she got locked inside after the bank closed. Everybody was frantic looking for her, and even the police was involved, but it was getting difficult. How will she be found is the next major question.
