I loved the way Diego cried when his father left him with the book, he looks adorable...I hope he leaves his home and runs into Ale's where they have some passionate sexy scene

Seems to me a marriage between Diego and Nora is inevitable given they both have reason to rush down the aisle and it's already been suggested by Nora's mom.

I'm disgusted at Dr. Baron! I can't believe they're telling this kind of story though. It's ancient, especially in these times.
It's been proven that homosexuality is not a disease, not to mention there have been studies that say homosexuality is genetic somewhat, at least psychological.
This doctor doesn't know the first thing about the world. He needs to get out, and by get out, I mean get out of our TV screens!

I'm pretty sure that Nora will eventually end up married to Seb, so maybe Diego backs out of the wedding at the last minute or it gets anulled later on. I can believe that Diego's dad thinks homosexuality can be cured. I'm OK with that story line as long as Diego's dad gets exposed as a foolish boor for thinking it. I think there's a good chance that by the end of the show he'll be accepting Diego.

He's an authoritarian homophobic professional (a doctor, nor less!) that is convinced homosexuality is an illness that can ( and has to) be cured. He even mentioned Dr. Marcus Bachmann, for God's sake! I think Diego's father is irredeemable, a lost case  |

I don't see Victor accepting his son anytime soon. What a Neanderthal. Poor Diego. I'm a bit curious who he will go to first, though I suspect it will be Nora (and not Ale). So then I wonder how long until Ale finds out what's going on. Hmm... He even mentioned Dr. Marcus Bachmann, for God's sake! I know I mentioned that, but after last night's clip I started wondering whether that's really who he was referring to. Especially when Victor said he was going the next day, they're in Florida, and Marcus Bachmann is in Minnesota. Perhaps just an unfortunate (or intentional?) choice of name. I guess we'll see.  |

Zathras, just a small correction. Diego's dad is Hector, not Victor. I don't recall any Victor in the show... And I think that maybe he and Ale will either have a secret love affair, or he will start rejecting Ale to please his father. Or make it look like he doesn't want Ale at all, but is again having the secret affair with him. Sound like something a novela would do.

Zathras, as committed as the Doctor is to "curing" his son of homosexuality, I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't already have airfare to Minnesota paid for and a trip planned to visit Dr. Bachmann, just in case Diego doesn't "straighten" out and marry Nora.

Daddy Homophobe in his youth must have had a rotten relationship with his boyfriend to have such a set against gay's. Afterall why hate Gay's this much if there wasn't something amiss in his past. As a Doctor, the Modern Thinking and Societies Attitude he should be well versed in how to treat people regardless of who they are.
I don't think it matters one way or the other just as long as little Diego marries a girl or a blow up doll just as long as it is legal and everyone will think he is normal according to Daddy Homophobe jaded view of the world.

I doubt they will go into the background of the character, but Hector was likely raised the same way, being told that any show of weakness (which gay men are often seen as being), a drug addict, or murderer were not acceptable. Hector's father was probably way worse and Hector is raising Diego the same way because that's what he knows.

For better or worse, the showrunners have identified their market segment and targeting that market with their stories. The rebounding ratings show that this strategy is working. The original target market was the teens/young adults, who by all accounts is not the traditional telenovela audience, but RP believed they could lure them in with progressive, "risque" stories focusing largely on the teenage characters. It's safe to say that, with the shift away from the teens to the adults, RP is no longer seeking that audience but instead has reverted to the traditional audience base. It seems what sells today is mindless, bloody violence, which has really taken over this show from what I can see. When violence was used in the past, there was an emotional impact (e.g. Rodrigo killing himself, Cassius getting paint-balled by Max and Gonzalo). Now it is just hollow, violence for the sake of violence. I was totally disgusted by the killing of Miranda's grandma within the same episode she was introduced and Miranda running off like nothing happened. I mean, the woman must have been about 80, to get brutally killed like that is just so unfair, but then your granddaughter watches you die emotionlessly? (The Miranda actress is especially bad.)
I'm sorry to be such a whiner, because I really, really wanted to like this show. But the reboot has left practically nothing of the stories and characters I wanted to see. I'm not talking about the gays - obviously they were a main attraction for me - but I liked some of the other characters and their stories, but it seems they've been either sidelined (e.g. Sebas, and to a lesser extent Max) or dropped entirely (e.g. Cassius/Sofia - don't tell me RP received flak for telling an interracial romance?). And to top it all off, it seems there's a lot less eye candy on the show these days - where are those teases of nudity we got from Mau-mau, Max, Gonzalo, Santiago? Those also got the axe? For blood and gore instead? Ay caramba!

For blood and gore instead? Ay caramba! You're not being a whiner. RP is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. TERRIBLE writing, awful characterization, only a handful of decent performances, and a cast full of annoying, whiny, unlikable characters. Even Alejandro has become unlikable as of late; he's almost narcissistic. His self-satisfied grin after he kissed Diego again really turned me off of him. Seriously, dude, back the hell off and let the guy figure out his feelings for himself. Ale doesn't seem to sincerely care about Diego; he just wants the satisfaction of knowing he was right all along. The only characters I actually like are some of the teachers. Anaconda, Patty, JP, and Santiago are all good characters (Ana is a goddess), but they're not enough to save the show. Nora grows increasingly more disgusting with each episode. I kind of liked her and her annoying self-righteousness at first, but she turned into a massive whore. She was like, "Oh, no, Rodrigo, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS DEAD!" Two days later, starts making out with his brother, Sebas. After that ended for seemingly no reason other than "I was Rodrigo's girl and therefore we can't date", Nora hooks up with Diego and now he's the love of her life? Pious bitch! Diego's just a complete moron and I don't get what anybody sees in him. All in all, this show is a hot mess. I went on kind of a rant there but I honestly just think this show is downright repulsive. |

Dang. I'm still waiting to see who Diego talks to first. Nora seems like a good guess. Although, it kind of looks like Diego didn't like it when his father pushed him toward Nora. |

He's gonna end up talking to Alejandro first because he is the only person that knows besides Sebas in which diego doesn't know yet so that's my guess
