El Dragón: Major Character Profiles
As per usual, these are a compilation of various public interviews/publicity shorts released around the net of those most intimately involved in these characters' creation -- ed.]
Miguel Garza:
Miguel Garza is someone who is completely of and with the times, who approaches narcotics trafficking in a contemporary style and manner that doesn’t empower villains and criminal types
Adela Cruz:
She is a chauffeur who meets and becomes involved with Miguel’s mirky, tumultuous business dealings. Her biggest ambition in life is to demonstrate to him that there is a world out there within which he can contend (supposedly on his terms?)
Jimena Ortiz:
She has an advanced degree in finance and, as the “bad girl” in this telenovela, doesn’t miss an opportunity to use her beauty to get whatever she wants. A lover of money and power, she will insert herself between Miguel and Adela, in order to get him to become disillusioned with the young woman; and such that she gets him to lie, cheat and to use people.
Jorge Garza:
He is Miguel’s brother. Fearful, shy, and with a secret that torments him. He biggest worry is keeping the family calm and united despite its sad past.
Epigmenio Moncada:
His biggest ambition is to do away with Miguel Garza and to have absolute power over Grupo El Salado. In his search for power he never call into question his killing of Miguel Garza and his family.
Chisca Garza:
She is an ambitious, irreverent girl who will not rely on dumb luck at the time to find a good man that will love her.
Dora Garza:
She is a woman whose only preoccupation will be her family. She will look to fulfill the final wishes of her husband: whereby she will see that all his enemies should come to a nasty end.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 7 - Help! El Presidente escaped from the loony bin!
In a follow up to yesterday’s hot and heavy pursuits that El Presidente and Gema decided needed to happen right there, on the desk in his office, several feet away from his family having dinner, Paulina decides to go looking for Carlos to ask a few questions. Gema and Carlos have concluded their hay roll by then and are congratulating themselves with this impromptu rendezvous (eye roll), when they hear a knock on the door. Cue the action of quickly putting their clothes back on, as if nothing happened.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 6 - Little murder engine that could not
We open with Pedro, hot in pursuit of escaping Paola, but she outsmarts him and he loses her.
Pedro must need to play some Grand Theft Auto to buff up his skills, because by the time he gets back to Gonzalo’s mansion (having already lost Paola), Nava is only on his second sentence of interrogating Monse, which means Pedrito lost Paola at the first corner. Nava wants to know what Monse is doing there, she tries to play dumb, but finally tells him to ask Paola if he wants more details. Monse leaves and Nava inquires about Pedro’s pursuit and aptly points out that it’s not the car that matters, but rather the driver. (Dear Pedrito, see our advice above.) I am finding their ongoing quip about “tu” vs. “usted” to be very amusing. Nava feels old being called “usted” and keeps asking Pedro to use a familiar “tu”, which Pedro refuses to do, because Nava is “older”.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 5: Where is a time machine when you need one?
After yesterday’s shocking turn of events (for us anyway), Paola must have consulted her copy of Handbook for the Criminally Insane, which seems to have indicated that the next step to follow after murdering your lover is to dump the body overboard, while jamming to some death metal tunes. So that is what she did, while also bawling her eyes out. But really, what is she constantly listening to at the most inopportune moments??

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 4
Recap by Princess Juju
Dude, that was intense:
We resume the episode where we left off last night, Emilio has made the poor choice of pulling a gun on a group of protestors, they are not violent, they are simply desperate for someone to listen to them, Paulina promises to intervene on their behalf, and manages to earn some good will with the public, something her husband has been unable to do. Emilio is surprised that Paulina came to his aid and makes it clear that he believes she helped him not because she cares about him but because she wants something from him.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 3 - Attempted Murder on the Bora Bora Express
Manuel delivers the news of his failure over the phone to Paola. Surprisingly calmly (for her), she orders him to finish the deed and gets off the phone. Gonzalo though gets the brunt of her anger and craziness, as she has a spectacular meltdown, complete with screams and plate smashing. Eventually Gonzalo throws her into the pool to cool off. Good choice, we were tired of all the screaming as well.

La Usurpadora - Capitulo 2 - The best laid plans of mice and men...
Mexico City, 2019. Independence Day. First Lady is shot as the whole family was stepping onto the balcony to greet those who gathered. The chaos ensues. President is quickly ushered away, so are the kids. A few people put the First Lady on the stretcher. She has a bleeding wound in her shoulder, which one of her attendants is trying to plug with a tepid pressure of their index finger. We agree that it doesn’t look all that life-threatening, but c’mon….

La Usurpadora - Gran Estreno!
And so it begins - complete with love, guns and booze all in one episode. (Please see the previous post on the brief description of the characters if you'd like to refer to it as you go along!)
Read more »
We open with the President and his staff looking out at the protests happening outside of his residence and office. The transport workers union is on strike and they are airing all of their grievances with this unpopular president. Carlos is doubting his presidential capacity too, but thankfully he has his trusty assistant Gema nearby to perk his spirits. He also has his wife Paola, none too pleased with all the commotion or with having to play the part of the First Lady for that matter.
