They’re babies themselves! I’ll imagine one in like, 10 years. But after that, maaaybe. It could be cute, it could be cute. Okay, fine, it could be very cute. Their pampered, stylish baby with an affinity for pools and parks.
If Eva dies, it’d be within a few days in telenovela time so no baby.
I don’t love the trope of people being changed by pregnancies/kids and I don’t know if we have enough time for that, but you might be onto something. I was just saying that while Val and Guille have specific things in their lives they’re aiming for, Eva hasn’t had anything, this might be it. The baby and/or Mateo’s death will probably affect her severely, we’ll just have to see what happens to her after that. And you also make another good point, they might be less likely to kill a pregnant woman.
All your predictions seem pretty likely, actually. But if Beltran has to save Juls, that means she’s in a situation she needs to be saved from. D:
I won’t allow that.
I think…I don’t know. Maybe, to save somebody else? But who? Val? Mateo? She feels like somebody who’ll have to live with the consequences of her actions. Be shunned by her siblings, raise the baby, especially if turns out it’s Mateo’s.
I don’t know. I would think all of his kids being happy and safe would be part of Leon’s second chance, but he’s spent very little time with her and she’s taken no steps toward a happier life. Guille and Val have their clear endgames but Eva? I don’t know. Could be, anon.
And another anon:
How do you pronounce Juliantina? (Not Spanish speaking, trying to get it right because I live for them) thanks!
How you’d think, except the J is with an H sound. Maca says it a bunch of times here:
And another anon:
Juliantina. lol first ship I’m not mad or ranting about the writers.
Hold onto that thought, buddy. 😛
Well, it being a telenovela, the cheating just isn’t that big a thing, if people are even following that part of his story, I would guess there’s some tunnel vision toward characters and how they interact with Juliantina. And, well, the two things can be separate. It is a good thing to not be homophobic, whatever else.

Mmm…what Lupe did was awful, but can you believe how accurate her reaction was to this?
The writer does deserve a lot of credit for getting so much of the dialogue so spot on, realistic and in a way that agrees with Lupe’s previous characterization of really loving Juls and thinking this comes from a place of protective love, while also showing how flat out wrong she is. It is different from Eva, who’s very much about the family name and reputation. Which brings me to…
And another anon:
I think it’s interesting how we assumed Lupe would be a /little/ more accepting of Juls/Val given how they’ve presented their bond. If anything, Eva’s reaction was slightly better?? She did voice her ‘support’ (I use the term loosely) for sexual diversity in society, she only really gives a shit about it becoming scandalous for her family. Although she’s hurtful, Lupe’s words towards Juls were unbearably personal, and scary. Praying for those who have to face such treatment from loved ones.
It is interesting, isn’t it, we were like, well, she loves her, so much.
The audience would see that too. And yet…here we are.
Actually, I bet there aren’t a few people watching who might agree with her? That a loving parent should try to…help? their child and steer them away from this? Which is why it’s so important that the narrative has consistently shown her to be so wrong, it’s not even funny. If they see themselves in Lupita, they are getting an earful.
I don’t know if you can really qualify her or Eva’s reactions in a way where one is slightly better or less worse. Eva got super vicious in there too, remember, about ending alone, about how their parents would react. And in a way, isn’t it as bad to say, I’m fine with it in others but not you? Not my sister? I wouldn’t say Val felt particularly cheered by that general support for other gays, lol.
And another anon:
i am in no way defending lupe– she’s definitely homophobic– but i do think that some of it comes from a genuine fear for Juliana. she spoke a lot about what this will mean for her in society and how they will treat her and that Juls has gone through too much already with El Chino as her father. i hope that her love for Juliana and desire to protect will eventually turn into her supporting them
Like I said above, I do agree that it’s from a protective place, but–actually, I think you sent this before last night’s ep, when she straight up call it indecent. And I mean, she’s the one who kept Chino in their lives… Still, I think she will come around.
Yeppppp. That’s why when she’s complaining about family troubles to him, you’re WILLING her to not say the name of her sister’s gf.
Right, she’s got such a specific attitude and a look!
Can’t imagine anybody else doing it.
I know, I have another ask I’m going to answer with gifs but yeah. I feel like a hypocrite because she’s such a jerk. But such a hot jerk. I’m supposed to just ignore that? The hotness?
Actually, if they wanted us to hate her, they wouldn’t have made her so hot, would they? I rest my case.
So she was with El Alacran when Mateo called her, Mateo who a few minutes earlier had almost driven into the house gates until he saw the gunmen and then drove away while his car was being shot at. Eva was shocked and her first thought was of Valentina.
She called up Guille to check on him too, he’s fine at Renata’s, but at the moment she’s staying put with El Alacran, not in a “let’s wait this out in bed” kind of way but more that it’s the safest place to wait for news by the phone.
Yeah, that’s probably a part of it. I hope so, otherwise it’s a bit unconscionable. How can she talk about reputations and scandal while she’s doing what she’s doing? I really don’t know what her ending will be like. She’s not bad enough to kill off, right? If this is a show about bad people being rehabilitated, she should get another chance. The affair will most like out, and then, we don’t know.
