Caray, Caray!

 SALUDOS, Caraymates!

Welcome to the second edition of the “Coming Soon” page! We’re well into the 2021 year and have some very interesting TNS airing; some have a ways to go while others have concluded or are in their last laps; “so what’s next?” you may ask. Well, we still haven’t seen many of the TNs discussed in the first edition of this page and some are on their way while others have been cancelled for airing in the US. You can forget about ¿Que Le Pasa a Mi Familia?..that’s the one that Univisión cancelled due to some unfortunate unforeseen circumstances that cannot be discussed here. Telemundo’s Café Con Aroma with heartthrob, William Levy, is “coming soon muy pronto” and some of us are excited about that! There has been no mention of Fuego Ardiente on Univisión, so we’ll just have to wait ‘n see what happens with that. In regards to Malverde: El Santo Patrón, well, we are disappointed that Fernando Colunga bowed out, but he will be replaced by Pedro Fernandez; the TN is still expected to air sometime in 2021.

So what else is on the horizon? Well, get your coffee/drink and let’s talk…

I. TELEVISA/UNIVISION

Diseñando Tu Amor – PRODUCED BY PEDRO ORTIZ DE PINEDO

Premieres on April 26^th at 8PM!!

Diseñando Tu Amor is a melodrama with hints of the more traditional TNs that we so much yean for. It is an adaptation of the Portuguese telenovela Meu amor and will be headed by actress/singer Gala Montes and Juan Diego Cobarrubias (who we hated in Vencer el Desamor, but this time he will be quite likeable!). In their company will be Cris Pazcal, Ale Müller, Ana Belena, María Sorté, Norma Herrera, Armando Araiza, Osvaldo de Leon, Adrian di Monte, Frances Ondiviela and the TN giants Sergio Goyri and Jose Elias Moreno!

The story revolves around Valentina (Gala) and Nora (Ale), two sisters who are very different personalitywise, but have the same dream of making it BIG in the fashion industry. “In the beginning” Valentina is employed at a pasteurizing factory which belongs to Ricardo’s (Chris Pazcal) family. Valentina is starry-eyed for Ricardo who is actually not a very nice guy and just wants to use Valentina to steal from his father. Ricardo and Valentina make a plan to escape, but when their plan is botched, Ricardo’s father forces him to take a trip with him. To everyone’s dismay (maybe), the trip turns into a tragedy and changes everyone’s lives, especially Valentina’s. Her sister, Nora, and she decide to go to the “big” city” where Valentina meets Claudio (Juan Diego) who is a dedicated lawyer with a mission to help his community with their legal issues. Valentina and Claudio quickly set off fireworks but sister, Nora, has also set her eyes on Claudio (another s(in)ister rivalry!). AND to Valentina’s surprise, Ricardo survived the accident and will be another wedge between Valentina and Claudio since Ricardo wants Valentina back…as well as his money.
