I'm a couple of episodes behind, but last night I watched Teresa's first meeting with Fátima, her arrival in Melilla, and meeting Dris Larbi. All of it was just as fascinating as the first time. Fátima was convinced that Teresa's Mexican accent would be a big hit with the "clients".
I had forgotten that Willy lost his job over letting Teresa leave, but what else could he do. Legally she had the right, holding a US passport, to ask for an attorney. This would have revealed Willy's less than savory behavior in trying to bring down Epifanio Vargas.

I too am enjoying watching this again. At times, I confess, it feels to me a bit rushed; the pacing of the original was a bit more relaxed, and the story somewhat more fleshed out. Most of the time, I think telenovelas would benefit from this kind of abridgement, and even here, at times I welcome it. But more often, I find myself feeling as if it's flipping through the scenes, so we know what happens but we don't feel and understand it as fully as in the original. I dunno. I can't cite a specific instance, and I'm enjoying it a LOT, so.... Of course, the original was only 3 months long, IIRC, so it was already leaner and better edited than most; it doesn't benefit from abridgement as much as many other novelas would. On the whole, I think they've done a skillful job.
I might just add that I watched the original on a TV that didn't have high definition. I'm now seeing the abridged version in HD. Wow!

Just stopping in to say hi. In case you hadn't seen the promo (on Uni) and are interested in their Premios TVyNovelas, it will be on on Sunday night from 8-10 on Univision. The original has already been broadcast in Mexico and our most recent tn, Amar a Muerte, walked off with 14 of 15 of the Premios, including best telenovela and the best of just about everything important!
RGV Chick is testing a few changes to the front page. Are either of you interested in being included in the chatter among the current recappers and dedicated commenters? If so, I'll let her know. You are already on the list of posters, so it's not a big deal to make sure you are added.

Hi Anita. Yes, I'd be interested in the "chatter" about changes to the front page or to any other aspects of CarayCaray. Thanks for offering to add me.
