Series 7 doesn't work without Thomas
23 November 2021
Warning: Spoilers
We waited 6 seasons and 8 years for Nora and Thomas to be together. And they didn't. I understand the 'on again, off again' see-sawing incipient love relationship was a narrative device, engineered to keep audiences watching and guessing and providing meat for the writers to generate fresh ideas from; but, for those who adored seeing the two characters together, it was incredibly frustrating and, in the end, at close of season 6, incredulous. After all that time, nothing was resolved. We were left with a rude edit whereby the two barely kissed - leaving us to ponder the aftermath.... AND, no mention of our hero, Thomas, anywhere in season 7 (How can you erase the memory of someone who was a central character in previous seasons? Of course, we still have the poseur, Hendrik, kicking around...reminding us repeatedly of the commotion Thomas made when he entered Nora's life.

In these troubling times, characterised by uncertainty and sadness, its important viewers find resolution in their beloved character's lives....perhaps the producers and writers of season 7 and beyond may acknowledge that it was the relationship (for what it was worth) between Nora and Thomas that was a major force in attracting audiences to the show and, and....write his character back in! (I say this, realising the actor, Jakob Cedergren, wanted to leave the show and this is why we have a new love in Nora's life). Oh, if only. If just for a short while and let he and Nora finally, finally get together. Come back Thomas!!
