Are they ever going to explain this storyline which is absolutely crucial because she gave the first inkling of Alberto is still alive! I agree!! There are lots of little doors open and it would be great if we could know more depth and also some closure!! Adele and then gone. Even if she was a hint to Alberto, she still could have added more to the storyline's complexities. I'm looking forward to more but also dreading it's end as I love this show so much! !!!

I've been thinking a lot about MAS (ahem who hasn't lol) and why his character gives so much to the show and I think it might be hugely in part to MAS himself being quite like Alberto in his humour and this makes Alberto so much more believable and adds more depth. Like the scene where Alberto and Mateo are laughing in their office (was it over Clara going to find out that Mateo lived with his Mother and Aunts??) and the way Alberto was laughing is so infectious and truthful. In a recent IG post he did he was mucking around in a ball pit and it just reminded me of Alberto's mischievous antics too! Just a thought.

Are they ever going to explain this storyline which is absolutely crucial because she gave the first inkling of Alberto is still alive! Yeah, I'm sure that contributed too. I really thought Adele would be back because she made it a point to tell Cristina she would be. I think she is gone for good at this point. I hope we find out that she did in fact tell Alberto that they thought he was dead. I think that would be good because it would take care of the Adele stuff and maybe Alberto is plotting revenge since he knows someone took his letters. I mean what was the point of Adele otherwise? Cristina could have found out in numerous other ways. I'm wondering if we'll see the Montesinos again, I am surprised they weren't at Rita's surgery. I thought we would have seen the Madres by now. I've given up on ever seeing or hearing about Manolito, lol he's never been mentioned when they speak about their kids. I'm ππΌ that we'll get even a small glimpse of Alberto at least opening the door at the end of ep 8. Alberto/MAS just has a lot of charisma. Compare him to Marco, who is very handsome himself, but he doesn't have that playful boyishness that MAS brings to the table. FT playing evil doesn't help, but he doesn't have that natural charm. Like I love when MAS/Alberto laughs and then starts snorting lol It's those little things. I also really miss him and Mateo, they make a great team.

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· I'd just like to redirect here because Christine you seemed rude with CAPS LOCK response (I didn't enjoy reading it) and we know that Alfi wasn't implying it doesn't happen anywhere else just putting context to the scene for those that might appreciate it. You're wasting time by being negative now and dragging it on. Some countries indeed have more shared culture and traditions than others but we dont have to compete. Back to scheduled programming please. I haven't even seen the episode yet! π―

I thought that would make more sense than adding Antonia, who I felt didn't really contribute anything to moving the story line along. Plus, I love Rita and Clara's parents! Maybe they would have been to silly for the cancer story line, though? I could see the tone not fitting. And it has really bugged me that they haven't at least mentioned Manolito. I'd be fine with a passing comment, just bugged that his existence is completely ignored.

Thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it! I'm sad to see you go and hope you will return some day. I created this forum with the intention for it to be fun and I didn't want to ban anyone but the tone in here is starting to get out of hand so I'm just doing it.

I'd be fine with a passing comment, just bugged that his existence is completely ignored. The Montesinos would definitely need to be dialed back, lol but I can see them bringing some humor to Rita's recovery. I love them and the Madres and would love to see them all just one more time. I was hoping we would see what happened to Sara after all these years. I would say when Alberto comes back maybe she'll turn up, but I don't think there will be enough time. Yeah, not really sure what the point of Antonia was. She didn't really do much of anything. The first ep kind of set the tone of Manolito never existing when they were talking to the twins about having a third brother or sister. I kept thinking you have Manolito! I would have liked to have seen him as a teenager too. Imagine Pedro the father of a teenπ

Wow, so very sorry to hear that Alfi is leaving the blog. Oh dear what a shame that we as commentators, are taking this too seriously. We really need to take a breath it's only a freaking show. No reason to bully someoone else because they don't share your opinion. I love that we are able to discuss and share ideas over something so great as Velvet. I've never been touched by a show like this that I wanted to blog about. Never. Not even Gran Hotel, or Outlander...I can't think of another.
I also have been overjoyed that I share a show with millions of spanish viewers from all over the world. I love it that we commisserate when we can but love when it gets good too.
So lets behave eh? It's only a freaking show and soon, so very soon, Alberto will return and all will be well with the world!! Reconsider Alfi, you are a huge part of this blog. Don't let the discontent of a few get you down.

I read somewhere that the last time when Alberto hug Ana was at his office after introduce Ana to Enzo Caferio, PE was saying even after the shot MAS was sobbing continuously because he know that this will be the last time he work with those people so closely and so long. That's very much sum up how sensitive and touching he is. No doubt that he is a very good actor. I often thought if he speaks English with an English accent he could be the next James Bond to replace Daniel Craig. I find Sense 8 is totally waste of his talent and possible type cast for that role he played in S8. I am sure he needs the exposure in the US but his manger need to be real careful selecting role for him.

primusours, I love that scene after hugging Ana where he cried. OMG I was so moved by that. I thought to myself, that is the last time he was going to see Ana ever because he was leaving. But what really got to me is how sensitive an actor Alberto or MAS is. Many times he really went above and beyond in his acting and caught the spirit of the moment with true integrity that one being the one that really stands out for me.
Very interesting the story behind it.
I'd watch a James bond movie with him in it. I tried watching sense8 but it was just too complicated for me personally. Too many moving parts...no kidding eh!!
You know I think that's why S4 has very high ratings dispite all the negativity surrounding the story line is because real admirers of Velvet can't wait to see MAS again. I read the Velvet Facebook page, all the translations and women are begging "when Alberto return", in spanish of course. Velvet without MAS just isn't the same. He is Velvet!!
