THE RIVER' WRITERS BETTER ASK THE QUEEN' Fans of the award-winning telenovela The River are also upset with writers for letting Angelina get away with stealing the baby even after Tshedza Pictures production announced the actress Tango Ncetezo, who's been playing Paulina since season one is leaving at the end of season five.

Co-creator Phathu Makwarela announced on social media this week that there's barrel nine episodes left of season five.,

Fans are wondering why the writers have never given Paulina a happy ending since season one; Cobra got her arrested, she lost her brothe Lindani, Angelina boycotted her wedding etc.

Just as viewers thought things are going well for Paulina, Angelina (Nokuthwala Ledwaba) bribed nurses to change the DNA results so that she can keep her baby.

The latest plot twist created a greater backlash by audiences, who are also furious with producers for killing actress Tango Ncetezo's character.

FANS REACT TO PAULINA'S STORYLINE @UserIsUnique2:

I'm going to need Mabutho to use his new found wealth to help Paulina get her child otherwise let's stop watching this show

@KeletsoR_:

Knowing #TheRiver1Magic and their hate for Paulina, Angelina is gonna kill her and that's how Paulina leaves the show.

@gailenkadsss:

Paulina's storyline is pissing me off.

@sedi_bear:

Angelina is evil AF for still denying that she stole Paulina's baby. Nxa.

#TheRiver1Magic These results are definitely gonna come out negative because this Doctor took the milk as DNA and she's gonna try and match it with Paulina's DNA we are not getting out happy ending. pic.twitter.com/OxD2yTQyHj

Paulina's storyline is honestly the biggest fuck you the writers of this telenovela have given us as viewers. #TheRiver1Magic

#TheRiver1Magic Paulina suffered from season 1 till now, she married Cobra and got arrested for something she did not do, She lost Lindani , She lost her uncle and she continued to suffer even now with the baby storyline. Atleast give her a happy ending as her final storyline. pic.twitter.com/4DmkDKFxSK

#TheRiver1Magic should learn a thing or two from successful soapies like 7deLaan with loyal viewers because they don't traumatise people with unrealistic and unresolved issues. Sometimes happy endings are ok bathong!!!

#TheRiver1Magic Paulina might have evidence on Angelina but watch them let Angelina win this round again by stealing Paulina's phone or something pic.twitter.com/EPGZFhgaWh

DNA meet script Script meet DNA.

This whole Paulina and missing baby agenda has being dragged too long. Just do a DNA test and stop dragging this. The showrunners are just using this as gap fillers and it s shows. #TheRiver1Magic pic.twitter.com/Gg0LrU93H9

If Paulina does not get her baby by Monday, I'm downgrading to compact. I won't be watching nonsense, story has been dragged for no reason. Ke leng?!#TheRiver1Magic
