Modern Family Telenovela

[@Smileandwavelol]

I love how they got so many character archetypes found in telenovelas: The Protagonist girl, the Evil Ex, the Attractive Religious Leader, the Humble Handsome Ranchero Love Interest, and the Controlling Matriarch.

[@tarielkaroldan4106]

Plus some clichés like the guy coming back from the dead, a fainting woman, someone yelling 'No!' while entering through a previously closed door...

[@PepeHerreraH]

Also everyone is white, like a real telenovela.

[@tarielkaroldan4106]

@@Slm99 in real telenovelas not everyone is white, just the most important characters and their loved ones. Usually, minorities are represented as comic relief or in stories of white saviors helping them overcome some sort of struggle

As someone who has a Latin soap opera obsessed mother I can tell you this is very true when it comes to those series Plot twists every episode

[@Cloudipy]

This reminds me of a telenovela that I watched with my aunts when I was a child (like 4-5yo)and they were teenagers, it was in the 90s in Algeria (north Africa) so it was all in Arabic except for the names and the opening credit. It was called Guadalupe and it was so popular that whenever it was time for the show the whole family gathered around the old TV, even the guys who were like "pff these girly shows are so stupid" stayed the whole time and yelled at the TV at every cliffhangers. Even the commercials between episodes were related to the show like Guadalupe soap to have flawless skin like Guadalupe. One time we were at fricking wedding (and weddings in Arabic countries are huge events that last several days where you celebrate at the houses of both the bride and the groom) and at some point we were in the house of the bride, with all the family and guests then the episode of Guadalupe started and everyone stopped what they were doing because Guadalupe lost her memory after the accident and I think someone stole her baby, and Luisa was actually the one who killed Alfredo's father and at some point some woman commits suicide by drowning herself in the sea
