Thanks so much for the terrific, detailed recap, Darcy! I'm happy to see you feeling better.

Am I a bad person? I just can't take the Rai moaning and groaning. I'm unhappy the *&^% writers had to go with the cancer recurrence. And they're spending soooo much time on Rai and Ros going back and forth between the five stages of grief. I'm just ready for that part of the story to be over. And he's once again wrong in denying Carmen the right to spend some time with him before the end.

AMEN on the endless, stupid fire scene. A group of rats in a maze could have done a better job of not croaking from smoke inhalation than the writers had our cast act out.

I'd classify Liana's rage at finding our Nuria's alive as titanic. She completely came unhinged.

I enjoyed Fabian's righteous indignation at Martha's having let Braulio skate. And Fabian doesn't even know she gave him an opportunity to kidnap poor Andres.

I got a kick out of your description of Ari as a horny teenage boy doing his best. Yep!

Well, the woman who did such a REALLY poor job of raising a daughter is now all in on sending her former son-in-law to prison. I remember way back when Diego was trying to find Celia, and her mother was pretty much covering for her then. There's apparently all next week to go, and I'm going to be upset if Diego spends a minute in jail.

Braulio is right about his not surviving jail. He's been shown as a spoiled brat all along. He wouldn't last a minute with real hard-core inmates.
 

Vuelve – 2/15/24 part 1 of 2

Braulio answers Santi that no, he’s not Nuria, and Nuria is with him now! Santi has lost! Yada yada more brotherly competitional delusions from Braulio! Braulio tells Santi to admit his defeat, Nuria chose him, and Santi will never see her again. Braulio hangs up and orders Nuria into the truck. He throws her phone out and runs over it.

Chelo is in the marketplace and clearly trying to draw Fausto out, it’s going to work too because he’s there watching and looking psycho in his wife beater. Chelo looks around but Fausto stays out of her eyeline.

Rai has another attack and Ro is there this time. She tries to help but she’s already freaked out by just this one attack and begging Rai to let her call a doctor. Rai shakes his head.

Chenta finds out about Nuria being with Braulio and is panicking. How will she tell everyone? Alberto advises her to let Santi take care of it and she agrees. Alberto worries about what Santi might do since he’s capable of anything when it comes to Nuria and Andres, but Chenta says that’s a good thing because Braulio is capable of anything too! Good point, Chenta!

Braulio arrives back at the hotel and unfortunately Andres didn’t run away. Andres isn’t happy to see Nuria instead of Amelia, but Braulio’s tune is now, ‘Andres, it’s time for you to understand your mother is Nuria!’

Santi comes home and tells Martha that Braulio has Nuria now too and he’ll kill him if he hurts either Nuria or Andres. Martha doesn’t want to hear that and Santi wonders if maybe Martha knows where Braulio is. He wants her to tell him the truth, is she covering for Braulio? Does she know where he is? Martha swears she has no idea and she’s done covering for Braulio. She wants him found too; she wants him to turn himself in even if he is her son.

Ro is beside herself looking for something to help Rai. Chema shows up and gives her some pot! LOL

Braulio sends Andres to watch TV and Nuria tries to get Braulio to let Andres go back to Amelia. She offers to go away with Braulio, just the two of them but Braulio doesn’t bite. It will be the three of them and Andres will forget about Amelia in time. Braulio’s plan is to go to the US. Braulio has contacts and a lot of money; he’ll get them there even though Nuria and Andres have no papers and can’t legally go to the US.

Fausto continues to stalk Chelo through the market. Promising this time she’s dead! Chelo’s holding of the baby is too wooden and detached, something is off….

Amelia calls Alberto to help Diego but it’s too late. Diego is arrested!!! I could say a lot about this, but we’ve all seen that actual evidence isn’t needed to make an arrest in Mexico, so…. Sigh. Braulio they let go, and Diego they arrest for murder without any real proof or motive. Diego asks Amelia to take care of Danita as he’s led off.

More protests from Andres about wanting Amelia and not Nuria. He’s less hostile toward Nuria now, but still makes it clear that it’s Amelia he wants. Nuria promises him she will take care of and protect him. Andres sees Braulio wanted on the TV, but Braulio makes up some BS about being wanted for an interview which Andres buys.

Fausto finally catches up to Chelo ‘alone’ in an alley. He smashes her up against the wall, choking her and pressing up against her with the baby between them, but still no sounds from baby or concern from Chelo of the baby being smashed, something tells me that ‘baby’ isn’t real… Fausto starts naming off all the reasons Chelo is going to die but it’s a trap of course and as I suspected she doesn’t have the baby on her. Just as Fausto is about to shoot the baby, he realizes it’s a doll and the police move in and arrest him! Fausto is still yelling that Chelo is going to pay, he swears – I hope we are truly done with him now!

 

Vuelve – 2/15/24 part 2 of 2

Liana can’t get a hold of Fausto of course since he’s under arrest. She’s now alone in a run-down motel and imagining Tigre, remembering all her deeds and trying to convince herself she’s not crazy though she clearly is!!! She’s downright creepy and still determined to kill Nuria! Ghost Tigre advises her to kill the Zepeda’s too and make them pay! (Kimberly Dos Ramos is killing it in all these unraveling scenes!)

Back home Chelo admits to Chalo how scared she was, but they are safe now. Ros comes in frantic and is told what happened. Chelo learns Nuria is still missing and just as they wonder where she could be Santi arrives to tell them that Nuria is with Braulio.

Amelia is back at the mansion with Danita and Alberto, talking about Diego’s plight. Surprisingly Martha makes no protest and even wants to hold Danita! Martha tells Amelia about Nuria being with Andres and although shocked, Amelia’s also comforted that Nuria is there because she knows Nuria will protect Andres.
Santi, Chelo, Chalo and Ro talk about how to track down Nuria, but her phone is off, and they have no way to locate her.

Andres falls asleep and Nuria tries to reason with Braulio to end this again. It doesn’t work, Braulio gets too close and wants to talk about how they met. Nuria is afraid Braulio will try to rape her again, but it turns out he’s not interested!!! She disgusts him now that she’s slept with Santi!!! He lets her go and goes off to call his contact, but Nuria overhears him telling whomever that is that he only needs Nuria until he gets Andres over the border and then he’ll be done with her! The contact can have her!!!! Eek!

Santi is going insane and tells Chema he will go crazy if something happens to Nuria.

There’s a price on Fausto’s head in prison because he’s a cop killer. His cellmates inform him of this but other than some tense conversation no move is made toward aggression – yet.

Ro and Rai decide to get high together and have fun with it! LOL They have the obligatory, ‘promise me you’ll be happy and find love again after I’m gone’ conversation. Just when I was thinking this might be a new fun way to get them through whatever time is left, it turns out once was enough. Ro wakes up in a chair in the courtyard the next morning, half-complaining and half-laughing to Rai that her back was stiff from sleeping in the chair. But Rai isn’t awake, and he isn’t going to wake, he’s gone! No more arguments over whether Carmen will be told, it’s too late.

Amelia is back at Diego’s? Packing Danita’s stuff, I guess; but it’s too bad she’s there because Mama Celia shows up demanding Danita!!! Amelia tries to protest but grandma is determined, she has a court order and the police with her. Amelia has no choice but to hand Danita over!!! (This woman is definitely less funny today!!!! BOOO)

Nuria is trying to get Andres to eat breakfast while making excuses about not being hungry to explain why she’s not eating herself. Braulio is ready to go, and Andres is still protesting going without Mommy Amelia. Braulio goes off to do something saying they are leaving in 10 minutes. Nuria jumps up and tries to call Santi really quickly for help and warns him that Braulio is trying to take them out of the country, but Braulio comes back and catches her!!!! They start fighting and Andres tries to come to Nuria’s defense!!! But Braulio locks Nuria in the bedroom of the suite and is ready to take off with just Andres, who is trying to untie the rope locking Nuria’s door in vain. Nuria is left pounding on the locked door screaming ‘Don’t take my son!!!’ as our episode fades to black.


 

vuelve

Thanks so much, Darcy. Loved all your asides. And kudos for noticing that something was off about the baby. I was hoping Chelo's plan would work but not happy she'd brought the baby along. Fausto wearing a "wife beater"; how appropriate!

I wasn't surprised Andres didn't run away. Braulio did some work at winning the kid over, mostly to spite Nuria, but still. Andres thinks of Braulio as his father. Speaking of Braulio, where is he getting all those big bucks to get across the border? He refused the GZ job offered by Santi and presumably doesn't have an income. Maybe he sold his GZ shares, and they didn't bother to show it.

Amen on hoping that we've seen the last of Fausto. I loved seeing the fear in his eyes when he was placed in that cell with some really badazz guys. I was a bit confused about why they want to harm him. I missed the part about a price on his head and thought it was mostly about his formerly having been a cop.

I was surprised Braulio gave up on his obsession with Nuria. Few "other guy" villains give up on the object of their obsession. Of course, he still has some spite going on because she rejected him; he plans for whoever his contacts are to "use" her, likely thinking she'll end up forced into prostitution.

Here's me being mean again. I'm relieved Rai is gone. Just tired of all the drama. But poor Carmen didn't get to say goodbye.

Braulio may have bitten off more than he can chew trying to sneak Andres across the border. Ask Fausto how well moving that kid against his will worked out for him.

I will do a recap of tonight's episode.

2/16/24 – Pt 1 of 4

For some reason I thought this was ending next week. Oh well. We again see Braulio lock Nuria into the hotel room. [Huh? How can you even do that?] In the hallway Andres is sobbing. “Why did you do that? You’re bad, very bad!” Braulio asks him in a threatening manner if he’s going to behave.

Somehow Alberto is able, using his and Santiago’s phones, to find out from where Nuria called. Santi rushes out while Alberto and Amelia wait and worry.

Braulio brings Andres to some slum and to a very shady looking guy. Braulio gives him a thick wad of money and gets a passport, presumably for Andres. The evil guys want to put Andres and Braulio in separate cars. Andres begs Braulio not to let him go. He sobs that Braulio told him he was the only one who loved him.

Amelia and Alberto come to visit Diego, who's inside a cell. Alberto says he’s petitioned the judge to review this case.

Santiago opens the hotel door and Nuria, crying, says that Braulio took her baby.

Rosalia calls out for someone to come. Angustias, Chema, and Chalo come out to discover that Raimundo has died.

Amelia comes to Casa Zepeda and discovers that Braulio took Andres. She is distraught. Martha mentions the pregnancy, and Nuria finds out about Amelia’s good news.

Alberto tells Santiago that Liana wasn’t at the nefasto (awful, terrible) motel where Fausto said she’d be. [Someone here was right; he sold her out right away.] Just then Braulio calls Santiago. He wants to see him at Grupo Zepeda. He wants to only meet with Santi and his mother. But he will give Santiago the boy.

Santiago and Martha rush in. Andres is there. The first thing he does is to tell them Nuria is locked in a room. Santi assures him she’s been released. Andres says that Braulio went to his favorite place. His papí was sad, saying Andres was the only one who loved him. He hands Martha a letter. Santiago says he knows where he is.

Braulio is up on the rooftop having a pity party. He looks skyward and tells his father that he tried, but he couldn’t be like him. “Forgive me.” Santiago comes toward him. Braulio says he (Santi) knows him well. Santiago replies that he doesn’t know him at all. He says that Braulio is a shameful person. Braulio: “Let’s get it all out in the open.”

Andres rushes right to Amelia at Casa Zepeda. He tells Nuria that he was very afraid for her. Amelia tells the boy that Nuria risked herself to save him. Andres: “Mí papí no es malo, verdad?” Martha gently tells him that his father did many bad things.
 

vuelve

2/16/24 – Pt 2 of 4

Santiago: “How could you do that to Alicia?” Braulio says that she had caught on and left with Fabian. [I was a bit confused about this. I think he meant that Alicia knew about the espionage, but it was a bit vague.] Braulio: “I thought you’d thank me.” [Getting vengeance on a woman who dumped him, I suppose he means.] Santiago erupts. “Kill her? Blame it on me?” Braulio: “I don’t regret it. What did you think, that I’d live in your shadow, taking the leftovers? I deserved more.” Santiago: “The only thing you care about is power, your ego, the sick stuff you have going on inside. Why go after Nuria and her child?”

Braulio: “Have you forgotten that Nuria was mine first? But you showed up, like always, to take everything.” Braulo starts choking up. “Would you believe the company doesn’t matter to me now. What hurts is losing my son. He was the only thing that gave meaning to my life. And I had to give him up. I’ve lost everything!” He yells that he blames Santiago for everything. We hear sirens. Braulio looks down at the street. “You called the police. You didn’t have the guts to face me alone. You’re a coward!”

There’s a very sweet scene with Nuria, Amelia, and Andres. He tells Amelia that Nuria kept him calm. He asks Amelia if she minds if he loves Nuria a little bit. Amelia tells him of course it’s all right. Nuria is a wonderful mother and a very good person. Andres embraces Nuria.

Martha reads Braulio’s letter at home. “Don’t know if you could one day forgive me. I failed you as a son. I don’t blame you anymore. Something was always broken in me. Do with this letter what you want. Give it to the police. I have such a weight on my conscience: the death of my father, Alicia, Tania.” Martha gets a shocked look, realizing that he had her daughter killed. “The only thing I wanted was for you and dad to be proud of me. It’s time to end all the suffering.”

Whoa, we see there’s a gun to Martha’s head. Crazy Liana is there with that matronly wig on her head. She says she’s Aida. They (she and Martha) are like sisters, and they need to be together in life or in death. She says that Martha has to do what she says or Casandra will pay. We see that Casandra is on the sofa, bound and gagged.

Back to the rooftop. Santi begs Braulio to give himself up. He’ll get the very best lawyers in the city to represent him.

Andres thanks Nuria for being so good to him even when he wasn’t very nice to her.

Amelia is calling Alberto to check on the situation with Diego when she sees Martha unconscious. Liana points a gun at her and then puts that good ole’ telenovela chloroform rag on her face.

Braulio tells Santiago he’s won. He’ll do it (give himself up) for Andres and for his mother. He says that he only wanted to be like his father. “But you were always there, the one who was just like him. I’m not strong. I couldn’t stand prison.” Santiago says he’ll be his support. They embrace. Santi: “Don’t break down; don’t give up.” Braulio insists, sobbing, that they’ll kill him in prison. He pushes Santiago away and jumps up on edge, hesitates a moment and then lets himself fall. [I was pretty sure from the first time they showed him up there that he was going off that roof. A bit like Chekhov’s gun from Act 1.]

Nuria is looking for Amelia and Liana points a gun at her. Liana shoves Andres into a room and locks him in. He finds Cassie, and takes out the gag and frees her hands.
 

vuelve

2/16/24 – Pt 3 of 4

Liana says that, if Nuria does things right, she’ll let Andres live. She says that she’s going to marry Santiago. She’ll be Nuria, the one he always loved. Nuria: “If you loved him, why’d you kill your child?” Liana spits at her that she’s a zorra (slut) who went to bed with both brothers. Nuria tells her that when she met Braulio she didn’t even know Santiago. Braulio lied to her. And, when Santiago appeared in her life, she didn’t have any idea he had a brother. She tells Liana that she has an obsession. Liana shrieks that Santiago loves her and Nuria won’t get in the way. While she’s looking delirious, Nuria goes for the gun. But Liana hits her in the head with it and knocks her out.

At the jail, the other prisoners are taken out of Fausto’s cell. Fausto looks across at a sort of evil looking guy in a cell opposite. He says he knows what this is about. [I'm guessing this is about Fausto having killed a cop, Jacinto.]

Liana shoots once at the ceiling. “Welcome to my wedding night!” She’s got a bridal gown and tiara on.

What the cops had planned was for the evil guy to beat up Fausto. But Fausto wins and even breaks the guy’s neck, presumably killing him.

Santi comes in with Mariano. He moves toward Nuria, seeing the blood on her forehead. “Get away from her!” shrieks Liana. She keeps babbling deliriously. Mariano goes for his phone and she screams and shoots him in the shoulder.

Fausto is beating the crap out of the cop who sicced the tough guy on him. He’s choking him, when the cop pulls his gun and shoots him in the head. {At last…the end of Fausto!]

Liana tells Santi that all she did was love him. Tigre appears, telling her to hurry up…the fire. Liana pours gas all over Nuria and takes out a lighter. She flicks it on. Then she pours the rest of the gas on herself [huh?]. Some is spilled on the floor. The one who is engulfed in flames is Liana. Santi puts some sort of blanket over her and smothers the fire out.

Mariano is taken to the hospital. Santi tells Martha that he and Braulio said what they needed to say to each other. "But then he took his life." Martha sobs in Santi’s arms.

Andres narrates some things. He says that no one went to his papí’s funeral. Only his grandparents. Now he’s with my grandpa Roberto in heaven.

Alberto has gotten Diego out of jail. He tells him that Martha gave the police the letter In which he confessed killing Celia. Celia’s mother brings Danita (to the jail!) and gives her back to her father.
 

vuelve

2/16/24 – Pt 4 of 4

Andres tells Nuria that Diego said that Danita and Amelia are the women in his life.

There’s more narration by Andres. He says that now his family is huge. Mamí, Diego, Santiago, my grandparents, Casandra. And Nuria is also part of my family.

We get a look at Liana in some facility, wrapped up in a sheet with her face badly burned. She mutters that Santiago will come soon to marry her.

Santiago resigns as the President of Grupo Zepeda and names Martha to succeed him. He says that he and Nuria are going to Juarez to work with the women at the maquiladoras (factories).

Santi comes to the pension to tell Nuria that Martha wants her to work making clothes for the company. Nuria proposes to Santi, while the women she’s been working with applaud.

SOME MONTHS LATER

Nuria is getting ready for her wedding. Ros mentions that Euge designed the dress. Chelo says that the Zepeda stores are now full of Nuria’s designs.

Martha tells Santiago how handsome he looks. [He does!] And that his father would have loved to have been at his wedding. She gives him a ring that Roberto gave her to put on Nuria’s finger.

Andres walks Nuria down the aisle. Everyone is there. The vows are said, and rings exchanged. Happy couples are all around, including a nicely rounded Amelia.

Euge approaches Carmen to say she’s heard how well her job in Monterrey is going. She mentions Rai, and Carmen says she enjoys listening to tapes of his music and feeling like he’s with her. Carmen also says something about Euge working with Nuria on the clothing line. She starts to apologize to Carmen about her indecision. Just then Carmen’s new girlfriend, Ines shows up, bringing her some champagne. Euge is introduced and is polite. But we see a not to happy face when she turns away from them.

Chalo proposes to Chelo at the wedding party.

Chema brings Ros a glass of champagne. He tells her he hopes she’ll do the same as her nieces…give herself an opportunity to love again.

Santiago and Nuria dance their first dance. He tells her he fell in love with her the first time he met her.

Diego tells Andres to ask Nuria to dance. She dances with him a while, then lifts him up. In that position, dancing with his mother, he remembers dancing with her before. He starts to cry. “I remembered everything! You are my mama!" They put their two red cloth bracelets together and say “Always together!”

FIN
 

"VUELVE" HIGHLIGHTS DISCUSSION:

Novelera: Missed last night's Gran Final because I was watching College Women's Gymnastics meets between Auburn vs LSU on the SEC Network.

NOT shocked Creepy Braulio took the cowards way out & offed himself.

Amelia likely gave birth to her baby with Diego I'm assuming.

Santiago & Andres get married HORRAY.

Chalo & Chelo getting engaged.

Carmen & Ines together. Eugenia will find someone else.

"ESDLC" EPISODE#1249:
*Aurelio, Felina & Co., continue their shootout with Cabo & the Crew.

*Fallout from the deadly gas station robbery shooting. I am assuming Humberto got killed.

*The entire Casillas family finds out what happened in NY St.

*Ismael, Leonardo & Co., track down the two punks & violently tortured them gruesomely.

*We see Ritula pointing the gun at the two punks. Presumably shooting them to death.

Novelera, thank you so much for that wonderful recap that gave us every detail of the finale and for all the other excellent , sassy , snappy recaps that you so graciously provided.

Real life is real enough for me, so I like novelas that prove these shows are actually like morality plays of the past that give HEAs to the good and heavy anvils to the evil .

Fausto died as he lived...fighting brutally . Jacinto's murder is avenged . ( hmmm.... So the cops knew that Fausto killed Jacinto , but they never caught him to arrest him ???)

Liana had one last BSC over the top performance ...well prepared with a wedding gown and tanks of gasolino and tying up lots of folks and bonking them on the head . Now she lives to suffer .......Ergggg

I suppose that we were all certain how Braulio was going to end his sad existence when we saw the two brothers on that rooftop.

Nuria's wedding gown was...A lot. She is a beautiful woman, but another style would have been much more flattering in my opinion. I hope that Euge isn't doing most of the designing for GZ .

That finale scene of Nuria spinning with Andres in her arms and Andres having that sudden memory of his life with his beloved mother was sweet and lovely . I am all for HEAs.....Bravo.

And so it ends .....another tale of the stuff of life....man, woman, birth, death, infinity. El Fin ....and on to the next story....

Thank you Novelera! What a wonderful recap of the finale! I didn't realize it was going to be the finale either, wow! I'm impressed you got all of the dialog from Liana's 'wedding night', I couldn't hear half of what everyone was saying with everyone talking over each other!

Santi was trying to talk Braulio down and I was on the couch going 'jump chump!' LOL I wasn't surprised he took the ledge out either. I'm glad he didn't leave with Andres, those 'coyotes' were shady trying to separate him from Andres.

Overall, I thought it was an excellent finale. I sort of wish they hadn't left Andres' memory recovery to the very last second, but I admit there was a certain sweetness to doing it that way. It was cliche to end with the wedding but nice to see everyone happy and celebrating! The cast looked stunning, and the sentiments were sweet without being too sappy.

I really enjoyed this novela. There were some languishing plotlines from time to time, but overall, the story was well-paced and interesting. Probably about the right length, it didn't feel too rushed, and it didn't drag on to the point where you couldn't wait for 'El Fin' or 'Por Fin!' as some novela endings feel. The acting was excellent, and the cast was well-rounded!!

Diego was my favorite, not surprisingly since Christian de la Campa is my favorite!!! But I also really enjoyed the performances of Kimberly dos Ramos (Liana), Ferdinando Valencia (Braulio), Fausto (wiki doesn't have the actor's name listed), and Eduardo Ibarrola really shined as Raymundo! Jorge Luis Pila was underutilized, I think, but a nice presence as Alberto. And William Levy and Samadhi Zendejas were great in the lead roles.

Thank you Novelera, for all your hard work and recaps! I enjoyed your insights and I love your wit! Thank you to the patio for sharing and commenting along the journey!


 

Fausto is Rodolfo Salas (he was in Medicos, Betty in NY and I saw him too in a couple of Mexican streaming series)
 

vuelve

Thanks, all. Yep, I burned some midnight oil with that one. It crossed my mind to wait until Saturday to do a recap. But, since I'm SUCH a night owl, I thought I'd just go for it. It goes without saying that I slept WAY in today.

I agree that this was a pretty good novela. I started out thinking "meh" because I'm not a Levy fan. But he was very good in this one. The only other time I saw Samadhi was as the evil Circe in Falsa Identidad. She's obviously a good actor, since she brought the sweetness to this one. I agree that the Braulio actor was quite good. Somehow there was some pathos, unlike the usual moustache twisting baddie. But, as his bad deeds piled up, it became doubtful he'd survive.

I also enjoyed the wedding. I've seen so many of those finales that I was tempted to wish they hadn't done it. But I liked the way they brought in other elements: Chalo/Chelo; Chema hinting to Ros; glowing and pregnant Amelia; and the ending of Andres recovering his memory. The memory recovery wasn't quite like I expected. I thought maybe it would be a scare that would do it. I actually expected it to happen when he and Nuria were together in that hotel room.

I also saw part of a streamed series with Rodolfo Salas (thanks Anon at 3:31 PM). In that one he played a successful rich guy who cheated on his wife. No tattoos in sight. I wondered if those he had in Vuelve were easy to get off!

Yep, Kimberley Dos Ramos was terrific as the BSC Liana. I plan to at least begin the Uni novela next week in which I believe she's the female protagonist. It will be interesting to see the change in character. I had never seen her before this novela.

Yes, the Raimundo actor was good, but I just tired of the whole maudlin cancer stuff. I had to think back to his early scenes, when he was trying to court the reluctant Rosalia to appreciate his work. He didn't write his part!

It's been fun spending these months with you all. Probably won't be here on Telemundo until they come up with another novela. El Señor is not to my taste.
 

Vuelve/OT

I'll be checking out Kim's new novela on Uni too. It will definitely be interesting to see what she brings to a protag role. I've seen some of her good girl roles but they were 8-10 years ago and she's gotten so good at playing bad since....

I agree about Samadhi, she made such an impression as Circe in Falsa Identidad, I was wondering in the beginning how well she'd go playing innocent, but she really did nail the sweet and kind character of Nuria.
 

OT...Hi, Novelera and Darcy, I am going to watch the new show starting soon on Uni vision with Kim as the good girl . I have seen her in several telenovelas as the villain , so I am interested in how she turns things around . I have seen the actress playing the villain in telenovelas playing the good girl. I have seen the galan in Herencia as a hothead but not a bad guy and in another show as a very good guy. We shall see how it all shakes out....
