You've got to understand that I was veeeeeeery young back then, and quite crazy. These days I wouldn't stand to watch either of those for 5 minutes (not even Muneca Brava). It was a part of my past that I have nothing to do with anymore. heh.

Do you think some day we will see the American version of O Clone? I don't mean on the Telemundo one.. Or actually, American version of any telenovelas on the big networks?

Three of my favorite openings ever :

O Profeta : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1GqEP81JCI

Paraiso Tropical : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZZaNov7Yx8

Paginas da Vida : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS3n2FpNX-w

:D :D :D

I loved La Usurpadora, Esmeralda, La Mentira(was actually talking about it with my mom yesterday), El Manantial....loved it too...and Nunca te Olvidare and Por tu Amor were also favorites of mine. I was going to post the youtube clip but too many too do..LOL

No, it's not. For the vaaaast part, the telenovelas are awful. They don't know how to build up a story, how to construct it, they don't know pacing, there's way to much exposition and redundant scenes. Simply put - terrible writing.

But every now and then, they hit all the right places. As I said in the first post here - they know how to write great villains (and villainesses) and the payoffs are great, too. B)

    • Ah, talk about nostalgia.  A cryptic quote and tease about a possible Vanessa Marcil return. It’s like the early 2000’s all over again!
    • Fen's boyfriend works as a buyer for Fenmore's in Nashville.
    • I’m about a week behind and these multiple paternity stories coming to a head this close together is very poor planning.  I know we had Nikolas and Carly’s arrivals on top of each other in the 90’s.  But the reveals were years apart, not months like Willow and Cody. Plus we cared about those stories.  Does anyone care about these two? This was the worst shootout Sonny has ever been in.  And that’s saying a lot.  Dex being shot again is also ridiculous.  Who would want him as a bodyguard.  His scenes with Sonny are painful.  Painful!
    • MMMMM BAYWATCH ANYONE?   GOOOOooooDDDD
    • 3-15   Not as good as the cliffhanger for B&B, but wow to seeing a scene between Victor and Devon that had some substance to them. I mean how often to they have scenes together...especially given their history when Devon was young.  And H#LL YES TO Victor/Devon vs Jill/Lily!!! If I thought they would give it time...and we would get more Jill, I would totally be down for that. And I hollered at Abby having such an Naked Heiress moment by her coming down those stairs while Victor was there.   Well, Adam shot himself in the foot with his gloating to Tucker. SMH.   See? I don't mind THIS Phyllis. The schemer. She's playing everyone like a fiddle and it's giving tension that was needed. The fact she did most of it without MS's normal tics is a bonus. And happy to see Lauren somewhat involved.    I'm hoping this is leading to the anniversary because it felt like there was finally some movement again.
