Thanks for the detailed response and for the new photo!
Fingers crossed that the season will be the usual length and they will just be taking a break on filming, not ending filming. It will be really disappointing if we only get Alberto for the final episode. It would have been almost better if they had adjusted Velvet filming to accommodate MAS's schedule.
It will also be a shame if the season is shortened given that it seems very likely this will be the final season of Velvet. I can't see the show continuing past season 4, both in terms of the story and cast, but also just with all the other stuff coming up for Bambu Productions (the news 1920s show with Netflix, etc.).

^Yeah I hope it's a break in filming as well because I just don't see them being able to have him back for just one episode and wrap everything up. Like that's just not possible for it to have a satisfying ending. There'd just be too many loose ends. And I wish that Sense8 didn't take 9 months to film. Like there's only 12 episodes on that show and they're only about 50 minutes long. But I guess where the sense8 storyline is now requires all of them to be at every country they film no matter how short of a scene it is. It just really sucks because this very well could be the last season. Fabulous news, thank you both! That is incredible VV that you will do this for all of us! Wish you and this board were around sooner haha . Seriously, it is great to have this board now---I remember for a long time my wife and I would rave about Grand Hotel (and later Velvet) and there was hardly anyone who knew about them or to discuss with!Aw thanks! Yeah when I discovered Velvet over a year ago, I wanted to see what other people's thoughts were but I was so disappointed to see no online presence. I was expecting at least some spanish boards or something but there's literally nothing other than the official facebook page but there you just get little comments as opposed to on here or tumblr where you get more discussion. And then after Velvet, I immediately watched Gran Hotel and it was the same thing. Also a big thanks to northboundtrain for agreeing to the idea of this forum and for helping me with it as well as being so great with gathering filming updates and stuff.

You're welcome! I agree that it'd be awful if this is both the last season and a shortened season. Re: adjusting Velvet filming, it was reported that MAS was written out of S3 early so he could go film Sense8 last year. However, there were delays with Sense8 filming (reported at the time to be about Netflix/funding issues -- I remember reading on Sense8 message boards that their fans were very upset about the delays). So it seems like Velvet was trying to accommodate Sense8, and it just didn't work out. Bambu does indeed have a bunch else going on, but they've filmed other projects simultaneously before, and it could be that La Embajada won't be renewed for S2 (ratings are apparently not great)...if it's canceled, that frees up more production space/time. Then again, the Netflix series is also supposed to start filming in August per a report on the subject a few months ago.... I don't know. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I think a S5 is still possible if the ratings hold. We'll have to see. ^Yeah I hope it's a break in filming as well because I just don't see them being able to have him back for just one episode and wrap everything up.

It just really sucks because this very well could be the last season. Exactly. Aw, thank you for letting me be a part of this! I'm so excited for how the board will grow during S4! Today's filming updates...MG posted a picture of what I assume is today's location: the hospital from S3 where Cristina was admitted and attempted suicide and Alberto had the breakdown in the courtyard (may also be the same hospital from previous seasons but I don't have time right now to go back and check). http://instagr.am/p/BGfG_T8D-hz She also posted this picture of DM (Enrique) dressed up like a doctor. No idea what's going on there, but he also posted the picture on his account and both tagged it as #Velvet, so it does appear to have something to do with filming. MG's caption says something about wardrobe and freetime...are they just goofing around with costumes? Or if that is DM's costume for the day, does the little heart in his pocket mean he'll be dressed as a doctor in some sort of weird dream sequence? http://instagr.am/p/BGfOCkuD-ls So Patricia and Enrique filming hospital scenes. Ugh. I just don't have a good feeling about it.

Hm interesting. I have no idea what's going on. But again so bummed that Patricia/Jonas may really be over. They have so much more potential than Enrique and Patricia. UGH!! ME TOO! Update: MIGUEL IS OFFICIALLY BACK ON SET! https://www.instagram.com/p/BGsZBtWhRpe

Thank you, VV! And yay for MAS being back on set! Other pictures of note from the last few days (sorry I've been away everyone...have been in and out of town a bit)... Apparently for MAS's first day back on set, there was a night shoot: http://instagr.am/p/BGs0hllTC_q http://instagr.am/p/BGsb1jtvSHB This next picture is important, as it confirms that yesterday Velvet was shooting scenes for Capitulo 49, which would be EPISODE 6 of the new season. http://instagr.am/p/BGsF6gzPSDI People keeping up with this thread will remember that in early May, MV (Cristina) posted a picture of the script for Capitulo 48 (episode 5). Since it's unlikely that they've spent the last month and a half shooting just one episode, it seems more likely that last night's night scenes are scenes that will be dropped into earlier episodes than the episode they are likely currently on (probably episode 8 or 9, if they've been doing about two weeks per episode). Now, this is all speculation, but if it's correct then we should expect Alberto to show up in episode 6, if not earlier (assuming they were shooting scenes for various early episodes all day yesterday or that they're going to keep filming out of order during the rest of MAS's Velvet filming). The night shoot last night also included a scene taking place in the alley next to Velvet, as teased by the show's Twitter account: If PE (Ana) did indeed take this picture (posted an hour ago) today, then they also did a night shoot tonight as well: http://instagr.am/p/BGvVVCZBRvT Makes sense...if they've got MAS for a limited time, the night shoots will probably be occurring more often. JS (Emilio) also on set today... http://instagr.am/p/BGusnhOBRkd http://instagr.am/p/BGuuiVpOL1l Okay, and all of these other pictures are from the last several days...they were taken by one of the BTS photographers who takes still shots for promotion of the show, and there's no way to tell whether these are recent or not...PE's in an outfit we saw her in back in March, for example. http://instagr.am/p/BGttEz7OL6G http://instagr.am/p/BGrMIqkuL17 http://instagr.am/p/BGmi_VauL-4 http://instagr.am/p/BGg4aVIOL9A http://instagr.am/p/BGjZ4YWuL64 http://instagr.am/p/BGpSy7ouL5H

Thank you for updating us. You're so much better at finding all this stuff. And I def agree. It seems they are making use of MAS time which is great for us but exhausting for them. lol I can't wait to see what other news we'll be getting.

Thanks for posting those! Those pictures of Alberto at the phone are very interesting...so he's in an English-speaking country, and it looks like he's got luggage by his feet. Is he in America or London while he's still thought to be dead, or is this scene taking place after his homecoming? (Would he really leave Madrid so soon after getting back, though?)
My first thought when I saw the Mateo picture was that it almost seems like he might be a figment of Alberto's imagination/conscience (the way he's hovering so close by Alberto's ear while Alberto stares straight ahead) but that's probably just my overactive imagination, LOL.
Whomever Aberto's calling, he doesn't seem happy about it, for sure.
...in the one with with camera, it looks like you can see luggage close by him, indicating that he's traveling. And my first thought of the one with Mateo was "Is Mateo really there or a figment of his imagination?" because of the way he's hovering so close by Alberto's ear while Alberto just stares straight ahead. Though it's probably more likely that he's really there and I've just got an overactive imagination, LOL!

I kind of think he has been in america? Because those phone box's don't seem at all like the ones available in england during the 60s and it would make sense that if he was on the other side of the world news of his being alive wouldn't have travelled? I think if he was that close to spain he would have bumped into someone he knew in five years. It does kind of look like Mateo is a hovering guardian angel! I think maybe Mateo finds him? Would that make sense? I would love a Christina/Carlos evil ploting romance! lmao i think that would be fun. It probably wouldn't make much sense if they're still really into keeping ana and alberto apart but I want it.

First off, wow to those pictures posted by Ritabites! Regarding the pictures of Alberto and Mateo at the phone booth....my theory is that Alberto somehow and for some reason perhaps first only reveals himself to Mateo, and meets up with him first somewhere. This might relate to the massive question of why has Alberto been gone for so long and not revealed himself sooner??? Is there some compelling reason where he does not feel it is a good idea to reveal himself to everyone yet? This is the huge plot element that will be so interesting to find out more on! I wonder how long MAS will be there on set shooting for Velvet and when he is due back for Sense8. I am still worried about how much of Alberto we will get in S4....it will be disappointing if he is only around for a few episodes!

OMG! Thank you so much for those pictures! Wait, here's another one... http://instagram.com/p/BG9TZaHtYsM It looks so passionate! I kind of think he has been in america? Because those phone box's don't seem at all like the ones available in england during the 60s and it would make sense that if he was on the other side of the world news of his being alive wouldn't have travelled? I think if he was that close to spain he would have bumped into someone he knew in five years. Those are good points...America seems more likely to me, too. Plus, that's another reason why Adele might know -- the press release for her character said she works for a New York studio. Regarding the pictures of Alberto and Mateo at the phone booth....my theory is that Alberto somehow and for some reason perhaps first only reveals himself to Mateo, and meets up with him first somewhere. This might relate to the massive question of why has Alberto been gone for so long and not revealed himself sooner??? Is there some compelling reason where he does not feel it is a good idea to reveal himself to everyone yet? This is the huge plot element that will be so interesting to find out more on! I think that's a good theory. Way back when the news was announced about the five year jump, some of us were speculating about how/why Alberto might stay gone that long. One of the only ways I thought it would be plausible is if it turns out that Alberto DID return to Madrid during the five year gap, saw Ana with Carlos and potentially with a baby, assumed the worst, and decided to leave town again without informing anyone that he'd been back in Madrid. (Alternatively, I suppose he also could have read news about Ana's success, which likely would have included pictures of her out with Carlos, and just decided not to return to Madrid out of anger.) The only thing that seems odd to me is the idea that Alberto could go five years without learning that everyone believes he's dead. He MUST find out in those five years, and even if he did decide to stay "dead" out of anger/bitterness about Ana, there'd be no reason to withhold the truth from Mateo. But then, of course, the second Mateo finds out, he would immediately tell Alberto everything: that Ana mourned him so deeply and that her child is his. He'd also insist on telling Ana. So if/when Mateo finds out, it would need to be toward the end of the five year gap, because Alberto wouldn't be able to convince him to stay quiet for long. That's admittedly still one of my worries. As much as I want to see Ana/Alberto together again, I also don't want it to feel rushed because of MAS's schedule or because the season's potentially being shortened. Am looking forward to Season 4. When Alberto sold Velvet it included his house. He left his car in front of the store so it would have been up to Mateo to store his car somewhere. I follow Alberto and Ana on Instagram and I will be so disappointed if they do not get back together. Surely the producers will see that this happens. If Cristina and Carlos are conspiring against the reunion of Ana and Alberto, hopefully they will fall in love. Love the translations and am frustrated even on Instagram when I do not understand the Spanish. I am a hugeVelvet fan. When Season 3 became available, I went on a "Velvet binge" and watched in 1 1/2 days on my I-phone 6 Plus. I could mute and just read the closed captioning in English throughout the night without waking anyone up. VELVET❣❣❣❣❣ Welcome to the board! Thank you for the reminder about Alberto's house...I'd been wondering about that earlier because I couldn't remember. I'm totally confident that Ana/Alberto will be together in the end.

THOSE PICTURES ARE EVERYTHING! I'm assuming that one of them kissing while they're standing must be their reunion? Is it supposed to be raining in that photo?
I'm also worried about if with MAS having to go back to film Sense8 how much we'll actually get of alberto without it feeling so rushed. I'm really interested to see how it'll all play out in s4 and how they'll explain why Alberto has been gone for so long. Those theories you've all been posting are all plausible.
