Enjoying presentations so far!

One thing I forgot to mention in my presentation...
Additionally contributing the failure of the sequel of my telenovela, La usurpadora, was certainly the illogical propositions of the plot. Paulina, the protagonist, gets diagnosed with cancer in Más alla de la usurpadora. Later, the audience can breathe a sigh of relief...turns out she didn’t have cancer, she’s just havin’ a baby! I can see where the writer found the inspiration for this storyline, happens all the time...

I’m glad to see that this sort of illogical dramatization doesn’t typically fly with the viewers. Simply reading the plot summary was enough for me to reject it. I’m confused as to whether this was because of a change in writers or not. IMDB lists Alberto Gomez as the writer for this novela, and attributes Inés Rodena (the writer of the original) for the story (idea original). What is the difference between the story and the writer here?

I did also want to provide you guys with the entrada in case you wanted to see it:

I have enjoyed the other presentations so much so far – especially because it gives us all a preview of what else is out there. I love seeing how everyone attaches themselves to the plot, even if it isn’t their favorite, and how we as a class are becoming more familiar with the actors/actresses. I’m able to recognize so many more faces on the cover of People en Español! The consumption presentations help us connect to the overarching implications of the production of telenovelas and their significance in Latin American and worldwide.

I’m glad we’re only half-way through and excited to see what else we discover.
