The finale of Por Siempre Mi Amor airs tonight on Univision. |
Tonight is the finale of
Por Siempre Mi Amor at 8 p.m. ET on Univision. The telenovela has been exceedingly efficient at resolving its many subplots in the weeks leading up to this final episode. It is astounding how many telenovelas put off the resolutions of their subplots, if they bother to resolve them at all, until the last two episodes which invariably gives the payoffs short shrift and makes for a haphazard mess of cursory scenes. With the subplots neatly tied up, the final episode of POR SIEMPRE MI AMOR can focus entirely on the main characters. The lead up to tonight’s final episode finds all the central players: the protagonists Arturo (Guy Ecker) and Isabel (Susana González), their daughter Aranza (Thelma Madrigal), and the two female antagonists Sonia (Dominika Paleta) and Marcela (Lola Merino) all locked up in barred cells and at the mercy of the telenovela’s slimeball villain Fernando (Héctor Suárez Gomís).
No new telenovela has been announced to replace
Por Siempre Mi Amor. For now, Univision will be running back-to-back episodes of
De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero, which will help move things along – the US run is only on episode 45 of the telenovela’s 187 episodes. As Univision is not currently airing any first-run telenovelas in the afternoons, there is a backlog forming leaving US audiences to wonder when (or if)
Libre Para Amarte (completed last year),
Quiero Amarte (ending its run in Mexico in June) and
El Color de la Pasión (nearing episode 40) will reach US airwaves. There are also a pair of Univision co-productions with Venevision:
Rosario and
Cosita Linda which are seeming ever less likely to air here.
