Soap Operas On AIT. by Raalsalghul: 11:32pm On Apr 09, 2015 |
Let me be sincere, I've been watching AIT soap operas from the days of Passions through Paloma and Diego (When you are mine or in Mexican: Cuando Seas Mia) to the just concluded La Que la Vida me Robo (What Life took from them, not me) . I must confess this new soap opera, which I don't even know the name yet is full of old actors. I hope the story is spot-on. Firstly, the last soap opera had attractive actors but the story looked like it had been written by amateurs. Even I could have written a better story. Nevertheless my best AIT soap opera is El cuerpo del desio (Second Chance). R.I.P to Lorena Rojas. That soap was 10/10. Furthermore, my worst soap is Forbidden Passion, the one starring Sergio Basanez (known as Diego to Nigerians) and an older actress whose name is forgettable due to her lacklustre performance. Cuando seas mia (known as Diego and Paloma to Nigerians) is over-rated, but it was popular because it had talented actors/actresses and the chemistry between Diego and Paloma (Sergio Basanez and Silvia Navarro) was solid. But looking back over the years, I wonder why AIT decided to invest their time in Soap Operas like: Lorenzo's wife ( I liked that one, they had beautiful actors/actresses, good story but the sex scenes were much and I wasn't up to 2 eighteen at that time). Sunset Beach, God! That soap opera lasted over 2 years, at a point they started changing actors/actresses, but I can't forget my favourite actor Clive Robertson (Ben), he played a twin (2 characters) in that soap. Gardener's Daughter, I can't even remember a face on that soap except for the so called gardener's daughter whose face looked like it was about to bust due to her fat cheeks. Catalina and Sebastian, a lesson to both T.V and movies that you should never cash in inappropriately on the popularity of an actress/ actor. A good example was when Paramount studios hired Christian Bale to play John Connor in Termination: Salvation due to his new found stardom after playing Bruce Wayne/Batman in the The Dark Knight which in my opinion is the Best Comic Book movie ever. You can all remember how that movie turned out. The same principle applied to Catalina and Sebastian. It featured Sergio Basanez and Silvia Navarro (Diego and Paloma) but it failed meet the level of Cuando Seas Mia (When you are mine). Until my last breath was okay IMO, but that character Sergio does not reflect a real life guy. How can you pursue a girl after she has left you, married another guy, flirted with another guy and you are still in love with her. Abeg guys like that no dey again. Wicked Games, that one had its flaws but it was short and straight to the point. Passions, a classic but for some reason AIT didn't finish that. Still pains me up till today. No time to check time. I remember the 1990's the days of Maria di los angeles, Secret of the Sand (Ruth and Rachel) when NTA was the leading channel in soap operas. I dey talk like say I don big that time. Now them just dey Bleep up. At least AIT is not known for entertainment, but I still tune in to that channel every 10pm. I want to let you know all the above written are just my opinion feel free to add or dispute it. And lest I forget, if you notice any errors in my post, forgive me. I had taken 2 bottles of Origin when I wrote this.(Rasalghul). |
