Poor Alex at least Sebastian wasn't an ass to him. Funny how on one of the episodes Mauricio comments on his ass and the word ass is used but in spanish...I couldnt see a soap saying that on tv.

It's good you like it since they play it a million times an episode. I do enjoy it, too.

The stuff with Ale / Nora / Sebas is all really well done. With the show so overdone, I found Nora / Ale's talk at the end of the episode on Friday rather refreshing. No, I don't think we would see something like this on a daytime soap, but it's part of the reason daytime is dying while telenovelas are a growing trend. They still tell stories, while dealing with modern issues. I found the teachers' meeting about racism a bit heavy handed, but I like that this is a subject being discussed.

Cassius is an interesting addition, but I don't like how Max has become a jerk. In the first few episodes, he seemed like a decent guy, but slowly he has become such a prick. I was shocked by all the racial comments regarding Cassius, but Gonzalo and Max delve into cartoon territory at times with the bathroom stunts. I suspect the Cassius / Sofia / Max storyline will play out for some time. Cassius seems to be an Othello reference.

I haven't watched many modern novelas. I'm continually shocked by things. Gonzalo preparing to masterbate only to have visions of the principal. My jaw dropped.

I like how things happen. I do worry about the eventual stalling novelas engage in, but, for now, things seem to be moving. I like how we know who is behind the mysterious notes, but we still don't know the whole story. I like J.P. / Daniel. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out.

The scenes with Ricardo / Teresa were nice, but I was shocked how long ago they had been married. I hope we meet Olga, Ricardo's wife and Eli's mother.

Yesenia is awesome. I love her relationship with Mauricio. I would love to see them together in the end as she such a lively character.

I like Patty, but I find the comic hijinks to be a bit annoying at times. I hate that she has to be comic relief because she is an intellectual. I do like her relationship with Santiago and think they have some real issues to deal with. I cannot imagine Patty staying with him if he has been hiding a drug problem. I wonder when his ex-wife will show up. I thought I saw her in the previews for Friday's episode, but we only saw Santiago at the meeting.

BTW, can we please get a scene with Teresa reprimanding JP for missing all the meetings.

I don't think Violet is fat, but I do want the character to cause some drama for Ana. I enjoy loving to hate Ana. Still curious to see where all this is going with Gilberto and Ana.

Looking forward to Monday's episode.

I'm also shocked. I haven't watched many novelas. For the most part, the novelas I've seen have been from years ago, or I've watched them with the closed captions on trying to translate the situations for myself. I am surprised by the subjects being tackled. Could you imagine a current daytime soap having characters like Gonzalo and Max making racist comments? I will admit Friday's prostetic arm mid show cliffhanger seemed to broach JER territory.

I think Sebastian was single when the show started. There was no reference to a love interest, but since exes seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately I wouldn't be surprised if suddenly Sebastian has a vengeful ex.

I'm thinking they'll continue to play the Sebastian / Nora / Ale situation for some time with the circumstances revolving around Rodrigo's death rearing their ugly head. I'm still not sure how this all is going to play out, but I keep thinking Diego, the football player who is giving Ale a hard time, will ultimately become a bigger part of the storyline.

At times, I'm worried because I feel like things might be lost in translation from the Spanish original to the Telemundo remake. The issues are very modern and very real, but some of the framing is completely Mexican-American. I hate how Patty is presented at times as sort of an 'Ugly Betty' clone. I do like how the Mau / Miranda storyline doesn't dominate to the point of excess, but clearly it is the main story. I'm still rooting for Mau / Yesenia.

The Nora / Ale / Sebastian scenes were excellent. Sebastian's stance on sexuality was great. Ale's reaction was realistic, and I like how they didn't make a big deal about his hidden erection. I like Nora and Sebastian together, but I can see how it is too soon. I'm curious to see where this story is going.

Gonzalo is a jerk to steal from Yesenia. I like her brother, but had to laugh when the closed captions said Yesenia wanted to introduce her brother to a nice boyfriend. I'm curious what Yesenia did that her brother went to jail for.

The stuff with Daniel and his former father-in-law was nice. I'm glad they didn't drag all of this out for weeks on end. It's nice they are moving the story along.

I can't believe Mau is considering showing the naked photo of Miranda in order to get the money. Leo Maximo is one of my least favorite characters, and I really liked him at first. I'm curious to see how Sofia / Cassius plays out.

The flowers Miranda received was a fun step in the story. I like how it was Diego as a part of the bet, but I'm not thrilled with the bet storyline. This reminds me of a bad plot on "Guiding Light" where Ben tried to steal Marah's viriginity.

Tonight's episode should be good.

I thought Sebastian and Alex were going to kiss..bummer they didnt...lol

I dont care for the betting story part either....why would Mauricio even consider selling out Miranda??

Diego..hmmm...wondering when his story will turn...I like him better with Sebastian and Alex instead of thie betting mess.

There are billboards for this show everywhere around the area I live in CA so it got me curious. I checked out the first episode and also yesterdays. I love the cinematography and overall production values of the show. The car crash sequence at the beginning of the show was so well done. I also love that it revolves around teens/young adults & it's actually GOOD drama w/them.

Can't say I really know what's really all going on thought yet, LOL. Apparently, Telemundo provides English subtitles on the "CC3" closed caption setting, but when I set it to that I don't see anything. I tried the "CC2" setting though & they have English subtitles, but they go SO freaking fast & sometimes the wording is all jumbled sad.png Meanwhile, the "CC1" setting (which is in Spanish) goes by swiftly...LOL.

But I still have it on my DVR. It's an interesting show and I think I'll catch on...

    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.    
    • @MaximThis really  old song popped into my head this morning ....

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
