Which of today’s TVLine Items pique your interest?
So excited by the *Betty La Fea* trailer. The cast looks great. The drama fits and so does the humor.
“For Her, I Am Eva” would be an AWESOME companion series. I saw the Spanish original in reruns on the TLNovelas channel & it was so funny.
Fun fact: “Eva” a.k.a. Jane The Virgin’s Jaime Camil was the male lead of the Mexican version of Betty La Fea, La Fea Mas Bella.
But it was not the original. The real fun fact is the original is En Los Tacones de Eva and Eva was Bello. So it was the second adaptation where Jaime Camil is playing a character played before by Bello.
