You should check out Rosa Salvaje and Simplemente Maria…good ones too and Lazos De Amor…about triplets…one evil one, one blind one and the nice one…great novela….and a good ending..which makes you wonder who really died at the end…LOL….I could go on with older classic novelas….so many good ones...

I managed to get in a rewatch of MARIA LA DEL BARRIO before it went off Netflix. What fun it was to see it again after all these years and for the first time in Spanish. Thalia was such a star. Loved her and that fabulous rich lady hairdo she had when she was 'older.' LOL And, of course, I don't think any soap villain can ever surpass Soraya Montenegro. Such a high energy, over-the-top character, and Itati Cantoral didn't fake it ONCE. Absolutely brilliant performance.

 

This time around, I found Aldo and Tita's love story incredibly good. I cried when they FINALLY united after wanting to for half of entire novela.

 

I think my favorite part was Maria finally finding her son and the complications that arose from trying to hide the truth. The episode where she tells Tita the truth is a soap climax made in Heaven. I cried on that one too. It was just so well plotted, didn't miss a beat, from drama to drama, you couldn't catch your breath. It's small wonder it is considered perhaps the most successful novela in the world. The performances are also so much better when you don't watch it dubbed.

It really was great. They had Maria, La Usurpadora, Rubi, Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, and others, but most of them recently expired, except a few like Pasion De Gavilanes (which I'm currently watching). However, those shows have left and come back before, so I hope they return again.

 

I'd LOVE to see Thalia in a good novela again but I really doubt she'd drop everything for months to film one, and I imagine it would be pretty tiring to do. But, you never know. With the right project, it'd be a HUGE ratings hit.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo is currently airing in the mornings on Univision. It was a great novela.

It sure would. I am surprised Univision is not begging her to come back considering how bad the novelas on Univision have gotten.

    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.
    • Jordana Brewster is making a new movie. https://deadline.com/2025/06/rob-riggle-jordana-brewster-the-pirate-king-1236426287/ Kelly Rutherford posing for a magazine cover with her son. Kelly Rutherford Photographed with Model Son Hermés, 18, Years After Custody Battle  
    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested.
