ORIGINAL POST BELOW
Big news from the official Velvet site: when S4 begins, five years will have passed since Alberto's "death." Ana is raising a little boy named Alberto (the article says that she is raising him at Velvet) and she is a world famous designer. She's been doing a lot of traveling, but it seems she's hit the brakes on that now and wants to bring "ready-to-wear" clothes to Velvet. It sounds like she's going to meet some resistance, however, especially from Marco.
The article says it seems like Cristina has changed and wants to make amends and apologize for her behavior...then she discovers that Alberto is really alive. The article asks if the news will cause her to change back to the way she used to be.
I have to say, this is shocking. I cannot believe there's a five year jump. Because it defies all rational thinking that Alberto might actually have stayed away on his own for so long, I'm thinking that there has to be something else going on with him -- he's trapped somewhere, or maybe he's lost his memory. But there's just no way that I can see that he's willingly stayed away from Ana all that time.
I'm also sort of wary of the time jump news in general. This means that we're missing a lot of the story...like the birth of Rita/Pedro's child and the early days of Clara/Mateo's marriage. I'm also concerned that Patricia and Enrique will be an established couple (assuming that he and Barbara ended their marriage during these five years). Also of note: Lucia is not listed with the other characters at the end of the synopsis. Is she gone, or was it just an oversight?
