Do you (or did you) watch telenovelas?

I don't like it that much too. I watched 15 episodes for now and I don't see what's the whole point of the ghost storyline. "Cama de gato" was much better.

Yeah. I thought of Rubí too. The opening has some really, really similar shots.

I'll try to dig up a synopsis to see what it's about.

As for DB, I'm kind of put off by Edith González starring in it. unsure.gif How did she become a star?!

I'm not watching Doña Bárbara either, but it really has become quite popular in Croatia. Actually, only last year NOVA TV started airing telenovelas again in the afternoon timeslot, and the first soaps - Mañana Es Para Siempre and Sortilegio were a success, so the television is milking it out whatever way they can.

The little that I've seen of Edith playing Bárbara was actually good, and for the first time ever Génesis Rodríguez seems decent.

Genesis actually guest-starred on "Entourage". I don't watch that show though, so I don't know how she did.

"En nombre del amor" is a big success too due to Leticia Calderon.

Oh, Lord, En Nombre features Victoria Ruffo. dry.gif In the only role she can play. She always plays the same person. Horrible.

But Calderón is fabulous as the villain. smile.gif

Exactly. I noticed the difference myself a few weeks ago - between Lucero from MEPS and Leticia Calderon from ENDA. Lucero's character was just amazing (IMO), a villain with a somewhat soft side, while this character that Leticia plays (which I haven't seen since I'm not that interested in this show) is just too cartoonish (according to a lot of stories that I heard).

Yup, she's a riot.

I am still surprised that a lot of telenovelas are currently airing in Croatia, after a long break by Nova TV and RTL.

Currently, we have:

Days ouf our lives (not a telenovela, but it's a soap LOL)

En nombre del amor

Dona Barbara

Mar de amor

Los Victorinos

Bella calamidades

Donde esta Elisa

    • Yeah. I wasn't feeling it either. If it was meant to be a chem test, it didn't work. I don't think so. Because I think Neil and Liz moved into that house after Stefano "died", and Neil lived there until he went to go see his patients and never came back

    • Canada aired a repeat today Tues. Nov. 18. So after being a day ahead for the past week, they will now be back in sync with U.S.
    • I was really starting to enjoy it, but after Anspach, Shelton and Keane left, it got a bit blah to watch. Jane Russell was great as Rose, Buddy Ebsen as Toat was interesting as well.  If a second season were in the cards, I would have signed  Karen Carlson on to a contract and cast a couple more women as regulars. The cowboy aspect could continue. Sam Elliott, as always, was fantastic,  The camaraderie between Roy and Quisto was really good as well. Cybill... she was sex on a stick and unapologetic.   Poor Robin Wright barely lasted five minutes, though, before being raped and murdered.
    • I love it that we've gone from daylight to dark -- Luna's even returned to work -- but Steffy is still sitting next to shirtless Finn on the sofa.

    • Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983?  I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club.  In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion.  If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set.  But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation   
    • Amazing work @slick jones I remember watching and enjoying Yellow Rose but losing interest once they went to self contained episodes, Interestingly that's the opposite of what Dallas, KL and FC did. So maybe YR should have been more episodic at first and then go to a fully fledged serial. But really the timeslot was the problem -Sat @10 was not the spot for a serial. And Rounders turned out to be a poor lead in. Maybe 9-11 Tues following A Team would have helped.  
    • LOL!!! He looks like he is reacting as if Luna just passed bad gas or something. 
    • Doug Marland came on board shortly before Gloria Monty, I believe. Jackie Smith was in charge of ABC daytime at that point. All of the characters in place were not his creations. Alan was created by Irving and Tex Ellman who wrote the hurricane story a few months before and brought in Alan, Scotty, David Hamilton, Dorrie and Lisa/Lana. His first character was  Bobbie in Jan 78. Apart from wrapping up the Lan/Lisa story he pretty much kept all the stories going just adding new elements.
    • She is 29... she's inching closer, and we know how important age is on soaps.

    • When I saw that look on Will's face, I thought, "Yeah, there's no one on set giving direction to Crew Morrow. There's no one giving notes." His dad Josh was green when he started, but not this green.
