Do you (or did you) watch telenovelas?

Yeah, because a year ago (or two years, I'm not sure) we only had two on HRT (Mexican/Croatian) and maybe one on NOVA pushed in the early morning schedule. It was literally a ghost town, and suddenly this year it's a circus.

No, I wouldn't say cartoonish. I'd say she showed a whole different side. After the moronic Esmeralda character, this ruthless, psycho villain is a complete change.

It wasn't a comment on her acting skills, but more of a comment on her character as a whole. She was just too evil, nothing like other telenovela villains. You usually hate them for some of the simple bad things they do, but her character apparently is just too hard to handle (the description I've heard from others). Or let's say this - she's not the type of villain you love to tune in for every day, but the type that makes you skin crawl and you just want off of your screen.

Thankfully, two episodes air each day, so it will be over soon.

However, Leticia Calderon was always an okay actress for me, especially in her Laberintos de Pasion role.

Geez, this one is even more boring than Escrito nas estrelas.

Eva Luna :rolleyes: Another crap from Venevision/Univision.

Marlene Favela in Herederos del Monte. :wub: It's a remake of a popular Chilean telenovela "Hijos del monte".

    • 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.
