Raven, astonished : So you spent the last seven months researching everything about my mother and her life just to find out my birthday?

Damian, proud of himself : Yes, it was vital for me to know. That's how I came to the conclusion that the ritual in which you were procreated was performed in the early morning of October 31 and you were born on August 8.

Raven, shyly smiling : Vital? Come on, Damian, it wasn't that big of a deal.

Damian, a little upset : Of course it is.

Raven, more shy : It's not.

Damian, more upset : Yes, it is.

Raven, much more shy : I don't think so.

Damian, really upset : I told you it is so! Your birth is a historical event worthy of commemoration! It was of utmost importance to know!

Raven, a little scared : Ok, ok! Azar...

Bettie Page in her black leather opera gloves would look great played by a young actress in a later era!

ok. like i might be way off but can you imagine if the fate of the stability in your world depended on the mental state of a depressed old man in another dimension?

Sometimes when I'm bored I reimagine scenes from soap operas with Greylock and Cedric.

Something I really like in the soap opera AU is how all of the main cast are in a different type of telenovela plot ksjdhfjksf

memory lane is a one way street

Mixed anachronism change-over. The girl feels so poor over not having cable tv, which is all fine and dandy except now your tv set program model is referred to as "linear tv" and there is nothing even interesting on not having cable. You are streaming now. As too the vcr to DVD change Archie enacted in the oughts seems a tad quaint as we move into the 10s -- more up to date but not all the way. And such would not even be interesting, if left un-updated the story as a whole could be figured as set in its time. But this story is about Betty's dad feeling old because of... ?

The date of the original does not track. Color tv was experimental in the fifties. 1965 was the year over half of new tv programming was in color, and 1966 was when all of it was in color. It would have been better and more plausible for 1990 had Hal Cooper identified color tv as being a luxury item. But maybe I am nit-picking and not accounting for a layman's inaccurate recollection and half-knowledge. On the other, by the time of the reprint in this century, this whole doting by Mr. Cooper is insane, whether it is "an" or "a" historical event the moon landing of 1969.

Soap operas go back to radio, and as a programming model was transferred to tv at its very start. Arguably the girls would not really know from soap operas in the years of the reprint (the second one in particular) as there was a mass cancellation of long time programming ... about 2010? Apparently we are down to four now. (Though there is probably some sub-culture of youtubers who do it themselves.) On the Beatles -- I guess Hal Cooper is old enough in reprints to remember John Lennon being shot. Maybe.

These added back spasm lines make no sense to me. And what happened to his socks?

Ugly Betty is just fashion week Jane the Virgin which is just white people telenovela.

the show 'episodes' (fm showtime, the show where matt lebanc plays a fictionalized version of himself) and 30 rock are my favorite shows about how hard it is to make tv for american audiences. i would absolutely make one about turning a telenovela into a cw an american show and how it becomes something else entirely fm its original counterpart.

New lost media dropped like 2 months ago and it's precious

Sandra Reyes Betty la fea: was she involved in the production of the soap opera?

The death of the Colombian actress has resonated nationwide and in many of the countries that were able to see the soap opera for which she became famous, ‘Pedro el escamoso’, where she played a fundamental role in the plot, however, a question about her alleged collaboration in another soap opera has gone viral, many Internet users wonder if Sandra Reyes was in the soap opera ‘Betty la fea’ or…

I need to finish the Betty La Fea Sequel. I don't like what I heard about the Ending tbh. But I feel like I can't complain If I don't finish It first
