Diana – I couldn’t comment yesterday because I had company, but to answer your question: I have no idea who that bullying young man is or who the other young man he’s bullying is. Why didn’t they just cut them out? Maybe they will feature in the plot later.



 

"AMANECER" GRAN FINAL HIGHLIGHTS DISCUSSION

Maggie, Kat in SC, SpanProf, Darcy, Jarifa, Liz & Co: Last night's Gran Final was a snoozefest.

The long dragged out reign of terror from Whacky Sebastian & Psychotic Atocha FINALLY ended with both psychos killing each other.

Leonel & Alma FINALLY got their happily ever after. Plus she's preggers!

Camillo & Fatima are super AWESOME together 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Thanks so much Maggie. I am glad I'm not alone in finding that confusing. This is just getting harder and harder for me to follow.

I am wondering if there is more than grief behind Chano and children's constant lamenting Lichita. Speculation only but are we sure she has passed?

I loathe Emi and Iker being pitted against each other. Also, watching Melina's smirk, do we know for a fact she is Iker's mother? I'm hoping not. It's clear Scarlet is falling for Iker.

I was shocked to see Emi 's "mother" talking to Emi's appropriately shocked "real father" - I wondered how they were going to introduce Bill - Tino's rival for Aide's affections. Eli's troubles continue.

A lot of the threads are interesting but I'm missing so much. I watched (and helped recap) the first installment, so really no excuse. :(

PAPÁS trivia

I was curious if the name Iker had an English version and it doesn’t. It is a Basque name.

I’m liking Carlos more and more. He is trying to do the right thing but he is in an awful situation. I think Palomares is showing more acting skill here than in many previous tns.

Tamara is so out of control. Her mother seems to be the problem. I thought Tamara was just obsessed with Carlos. Now I’m starting to think she is being strongly forced into this obsession by her mother. Maybe she isn’t as obsessed with Carlos so much as trying to please/avoid failing in her mother’s demands. She left Carlos once. Why did she return? Why this obsession now? I wonder if Leonardo is part of this. Was he a stepfather figure to Tamara at one time? Their relationship is abusive.

What I am awkwardly trying to say is that I find myself moving from “I can’t believe she did that” to “why on earth does she behave this way?” Carlos is keeping remarkably calm as he tries to advocate for the baby. I wonder if Tamara possibly might get help and overcome whatever makes her so crazy? Most tns wouldn’t go to the trouble, preferring a consistently crazy character. I think Carlos and Cris will end up together, but maybe Tamara can get some help. Or is it too late and she will flame out spectacularly?

IIRC, Father S mentioned last night that God provides us “the privilege to love.” (This ties in with the title of the original El Privilegio de Amar, which I haven’t seen.) The word privilege implies that it is more than just a gift, it is specially bestowed and/or earned and has responsibility that comes with it. Not everyone has the opportunity to receive this privilege.

Now Cristina is pregnant, as we were all expecting. Looks like Manuel will know shortly. This will put Carlos in a worse situation. I’m still shouting DNA DNA!!!

What is Ramiro up to? Carolina’s house of cards is starting to collapse. Will Manuel stay? What will Father S do?
