YES ALFI US NONE SPANISH SPEAKING FANS KNOWS THAT VELVET WAS NOT MADE FOR US YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP REMINDING US THAT SPAIN IS HAPPY WITH ITππ· Well Alfi that actually happens world wide...it isn't exclusively in Spain. In the North American culture when we watch family or friends play baseball, hockey, and soccer or have a football scrimmage we usually end up in a restaurant or a park or parking lot for a meal together. As as for the record numbers... that only shows how popular the show is in Spain...but...now that it is on Netflix I wonder what the numbers would be with those outside Spain watching? It's probably because of the exposure outside of Spain that MAS has been recognized as a terrific actor and has become busier with projects outside of Spain...just saying.

Yes Alberto lost his way ..when he was in NYC ..In terms of businesses he was successful. But emotionally he was truly like seriously LOST.Judging from the little I read,he used sex in coping,he became a mechanical bull with these women. ..he feels nothing for them..he was so miserable without his Ana...life was meaningless for him.I am glad Mateo is going to NYC and I can't wait to see his face when hears that he is a father.πβ€ Agree 100% about his son. Can't wait to see how Alberto finds out about his son and how he reacts. I totally disregard the book and stay with the writers and the series. I think that they did the best they could without a full season commitment from MAS. Both MAS and PE said that the fans will like the happy ending and the way things tie up. I wait anxiously and will miss Velvet very much when it is over. I watch the episodes over and over and never get tired. It is my guilty silly pleasure. Hopeless romantic and this fits in well. Awwww. ...this is my second round rewatching the episodes and I love it.πβ€π

Β The essence why I am on this page is to have fun...and it pains me Sometimes, and I bite my tongue at the tense conversation going on here..Can we stick with talking about the show and lay off politics, Spanish vs non Spanish. .I think it minimizes angry outbursts. Please can we just get along . Otherwise it defeats the purpose of this forum. I am imploring you guys.. Do we have more spoilers on chapter 8?

I like your opinion in how this should end with Alberto and Ana walk away into the sunset holding hand end of the season 3. Instead we got nutty Cristina and fake Carlos , one dimensional Marco , murderous jealousy Enrique and greedy sexually deviant Patricia. What's wrong with the writers? If their job is writing a story with logic, close to real life and plausible they failed their job. I really dislike the book written about the five years gap when Alberto was in New York. What I gather from people make reference about the book in this forum seems out of Alberto's character and making a big leap from the pure delight of this young couple in love to a pornographic behavior of a man lost in the big city. Call me a prude I don't care just "forget about " the book. I thought the book was out of character at first, but then I thought about it, and it wasn't totally. He did use sex when he was hurt. I thought it would be more in character of he had a 1 or 2 sexual partners instead of being so slutty. I guess his hurt pushed him to the extreme. Lol I think they just wanted to have a bunch of women buy the book to envision MAS basically as Christian Grey. Yeah, that ending would have been better than what we are seeing unfold. I think the show stopped caring about the small details that made it great and focused on the bigger picture, like if this was an action show, big car explosions. It's become less character driven and more plot driven. Past seasons would have shown Jr. with Mateo and Patricia etc... And yes, definitely Ana realizing something was wrong with Rita and Emilio realizing that Ana should not marry Carlos. Nobody ever seems to get suspicious of why Carlos is always going up to Cristina's office? I also realized that Ana never followed up with Adele. That was a huge opportunity for her to break into America and she never even asked Cristina what happened and where she can contact Adele. No follow up at all for such a huge opportunity. They've all just become caricatures this season. The ratings rise isn't that spectacular, they've gotten at most a couple of hundred thousand uptick, but it's not earth shattering. I think it could be given to the show ending and fans returning to see how they wrap it up.

Thank you Alfi for all your comments and I'm sorry that you're leaving. You and Northbound are actually the only comments I read. I loved Velvet and Gran Hotel mainly because of you both. Thanks again
