i would love an extension of the show bc i dont want to give up Juliantina but story wise since they are already done filming, it doesn’t seem likely and it’s pretty clear from this show.. there is a definite goal and storyline and once it is done, you really can’t go back. Actually, i hope bc of the popularity of the show that Maca & Barbi get a magazine cover & continue to challenge censorship in Mexico. That’d be dope.

Yeah, stories that you have to force aren’t as good.

It’ll be interesting what happens in the aftermath, they’re currently riding a wave of popularity and goodwill. helped by how personable and appealing they are and how sympathetic and wholesome the ship is. Will other series and networks want to cash in? Will either of these two play f/f roles again any time soon? We’ll have to see where we are when it all ends, I guess.

Quick history lesson: back in the 90’s televisa’s telenovelas were around 80-90 episodes if the telenovela was really successful they will add 10-20 episodes which was possible because sometimes telenovelas wrapped their filming the same week the finale aired. Then the length of hit shows got out of hand, some telenovelas aired for a couple of years having 160-200 episodes so Televisa was very criticized for lowering the quality of the products and people stop watching telenovelas

So they changed the strategy, they limited all their telenovelas to 80-90 again and they filmed way before it was aired so they couldn’t change much. But when a Telenovela has a lot of impact in the audience they get the green light for a “second season” but is more like, instead of having a super long telenovela with 160 episodes, you have the telenovela showed in two or three different phases.

Good to know, although in the case of here, I’m not sure how it’d affect things? Wouldn’t it be difficult to get these actors back together for another new season? And it’s such a definitive premise, you’d think it would be hard pressed to find a new plot for them. I don’t want either of my girls dead or switching bodies. 😡

So you’re kind of the juliantina queen and I feel like you’ll have a good answer. So when do you think was the exact moment each of them realized they liked each other as more than a friend?

Hah, am I though? </Thor> This is all mostly for the mere coincidence of me getting into the ship a fortnight before the migration.

And actually I don’t have a good answer, lol. It’s hard for me to say, the transitions between each stage of their relationship have been so seamless. But if the question is when they realized vs when they started liking each other, I think maybe it’s a little clearer? For example, Val watching Juls dancing was pretty significant, right, that was clearly a Moment, but I don’t think she really got it till later, the morning after Guille’s party. The thoughtfulness with which she was considering the previous night’s events (in a flashback, no less) seemed to imply some kind of realization and perhaps an explanation for some of her previous reactions and behavior. The girl had to tell Juls three separate times how good she looked in that dress.

Juls is harder, she’s deliberately so much more guarded about everything. I think by the time Guille’s party happened, she already knew. She wasn’t surprised where the feeling game was heading and her flashback the next morning seemed to inspire elation, her realization was that this was mutual. Both basically understood Val’s feelings after that night, lol. 

When did Juls realize herself? Ahhhh. I dunno. It could have been as early as when they were exchanging gifts that first time, if not earlier. It always stood out to me that the second time she came over, she was wearing lipstick. While visiting a friend whose stepmom had just been kidnapped. I mean……..

But I’m not married to any of these guesses, anybody could convince me otherwise pretty easily.
