Elite Fans Are Ready to Boot One Character Out After Season 7 Trailer Debut
Why continue Ivan's arc when Patrick is gone?
Netflix's Tudum delighted fans with the news that Season 7 of the Spanish teen drama series Elite will be released on October 20 of this year. Judging by the first trailer, the new season will have as many compelling storylines, romance, drama, and mystery as viewers can get their hands on, but sadly, some of the main characters are going to be missing — the beloved Blanco siblings.
Even though longtime fans knew that Mencia, Patrick, and Ari would be leaving Las Encinas after their father's release, their absence from the series became very real with the teaser. For many viewers, the siblings carried the show for the past three seasons, so people are going to sorely miss them. Some fans even say that they'd rather see another character go instead of the Blancos.
'Ivan can go, he got boring and annoying last season,' a fan commented under the teaser.
André Lamoglia's character Ivan Carvalho was introduced in Season 5 and has managed to annoy many viewers over the course of two seasons. Although Lamoglia's performance is captivating, his character is arrogant and ignores his own faults and mistakes. Most importantly, fans hated Ivan because of how he toyed with Patrick and his emotions.
After hooking up with Patrick, who he knew had feelings for him, Ivan pursued the relationship with his sister Ari, which was cruel and unnecessary. On top of that, he never said a firm no to Patrick, but rather kept him as his second choice, sending mixed signals.
Viewers felt like Ivan was stomping all over Patrick's heart the whole season, and then he played the victim, as if what he did with Ari wasn't as bad as Patrick sleeping with his father.
Despite being a bummer, the Ivan/Patrick relationship was compelling to many viewers, and they would love to see Ivan get a redemption arc to make things right with Patrick. But now that Patrick is gone, their love arc feels cut short, and Ivan seems to have no new exciting storylines to be a part of.
Looks like Ivan has become a totally useless character after the Blanco siblings left, and the Elite fans are ready to boot him out.
