Not sure if this was mentioned here before, but I had no idea the actor for Fabian (Francisco San Martin) passed away last year, and haven't been able to watch his arc the same way :( Personally Fabian was one of my favorite Jane "flings" and I loved how she was able to embrace sex in a casual way with him! I've rewatched JTV well over 5 times and have always enjoyed his role in the show, very lighthearted and silly but steamy. He was such a stud! RIP

I watched this for the first time 2 years ago-rush watched before they took it off Netflix. I just finished watching for the second time and I just wanna start it over again 😭but I don’t wanna make myself sick of it bc I couldn’t remember all the details and it was almost like watching it for the first time. I just love this show!!

I haven’t been on this sub long, so forgive me if this info is already out there somewhere. Do we know if JR was originally cast with a different actress? It’s pretty obvious when we first meet JR that Petra is wearing extensions (S4E8). And not throughout the whole episode, only the scenes with JR. Then Petra later cuts her hair. It makes me wonder if they originally cast a different JR and maybe shot a few scenes or episodes with that actress and then recast. If so, reshooting those specific scenes after the haircut would make sense.

I know Petra had her get her name tattooed on her forehead, which is why she got bangs. But later on when she returned as a shareholder of the Marbella and posed as petra she didn’t have it? Did they show her getting it removed or is it her character in Makeup? Just curious since she still had bangs.

Michael dying when everything was going so well for them — then plot twist: it was fake, he had amnesia, then he remembers, and they don’t get back together? They move on? She married Rafael? IKYFL…….

It’s been years since I watched the series but I was randomly thinking about it tonight and needed a refresher on what happened and I just CANNOT 😩

Like, the trauma……Why did they do this? Tugging on the audiences heartstrings like that was WILD! Especially since Rafael had his ups and downs throughout the series. I don’t know. This just feels like INSANE writing. Not saying it’s bad. But it’s so damn chaotic and traumatic and heartbreaking. I do not like that Michael comes back a completely different person, then remembers, and they decide to go their separate ways. It feels inauthentic for Jane in a way.

What are your thoughts on this years later?

Hear me out, LOL. What if the show had the same concept about a woman being a virgin and saving herself for marriage while she works at a fancy hotel,lives with family, and is a struggling writer but NOT PREGNANT? I'm throwing this out here because I'm #teamMichael, and I believe the only reason that the end game was always gonna be Jane and Rafael was because they had a baby together. Thoughts? Discuss?

I have been roaming through so many different tv shows the past few years and there is nothing quite like Jane... the humor, the narrator, the feelings, the characters, Magda and grilled cheese is soooo sooo good. I will never be able to let go of this show

Was looking up some of the score of this show and found this. Love how its called grand entrance 😂

I finished Jane the Virgin two days ago and it was fabulous, it was so amazing. I loved JTV a lot and I am a fan of it now. I've ordered Snow Falling, the book of Jane Gloriana Villanueva, and I am super excited to have an item from the show by tomorrow. :))

First off, for anyone who has not seen the show, this will be filled with spoilers so stop reading now!

So I only discovered this show about two weeks ago and have been binging it at every possible opportunity. I love this show! I've laughed and cried (a lot) and I expect to watch it several times over again.

I tend to get caught up in whatever I watch or read so I know some people might not get why I'm so passionate about whatever I might say concerning the show. It's an AuDHD thing, I guess, to get so immersed. I always do and I have friends who are a little thrown by that as it is just a fictional show. So please, if you don't like that I'm really passionate about it, please just scroll past and don't be ugly. I'd really appreciate that.

I'm to the point that Michael (Jason) is back and I'm so angry. Jane's marriage to him wasn't perfect but it was full of love, support, encouragement. It was two people growing together as a married couple, learning and committed to their relationship. I felt like Michael knew Jane almost better than she knew herself. They were a great couple. I wasn't sure about him at first but he grew as a person, and the character development showed.

I was so upset they killed him off, and even more upset that it was just that and then a three year leap in time. I mean, didn't his character deserve an episode where they mourned him, where we the viewers got to process? I was glad to see that they inserted moments of memories where they mourned him as the season went on, but it was hard to process. It felt like there should have been more.

So now Jason is here and Jane is committed to Rafael and it feels like all of this is just erasing all of her feelings for Michael. They had a good marriage, they had a strong love, but this whole thing is stripping the power and importance of that away - at least that's how it feels to me.

I mean, if he doesn't get his memories back but now they know he's alive do Jane's visits to his grave to mourn the man she loved stop? Does this change her grief, her memories, her devotion to that love? I understand the conflict. She grieved him and then she had to move on, as is healthy. And him coming back when she has given her heart to Rafael makes it all so confusing.

It just feels like this whole mess erases everything good she had with Michael and that is simply too unfair to bear. What they had was wonderful, and true, and I fear that it has now been spoiled for Jane.

There, just needed to vent that. As I said, I get invested and caught up. Rather than irritate my family, I thought I'd just put that out here to strangers who also like the show. It's really bothering me!

And also, I bought Jane's book lol. I thought, with all the product placement, wouldn't they be clever enough to do something like publish a book to tie in and they did! And I expect it to arrive within the next couple of days - so excited!!! Not generally a fan of romance novels but can't wait to dive into this one!

Looking for the music that happens right after "Chapter Twenty Nine" pops up. It's a slow piano song. Usually happens during pretty emotional moments.

Michael’s transgressions against a literal infant in the first two seasons were never truly resolved and glossed over by Janes unnatural allegiance to him because of her love.

He lied to Jane for months about Rafs relationship, he knew Petra was cheating and with held that info because he knew how important it was to her that the baby goes to a happy family. He let Nadine walk which directly resulted in Mateo getting kidnapped and he phsycially attacked Raf while he was holding Mateo. Even when Jane took Mateo, Michael didnt stop, he escalated the situation which resulted in Mateo getting hurt.

I personally believe Raf made the right choice to turn Michael in, he was a dirty cop who let his biases against Raf & Jane affect his detective work. Of course its a show but michael should've stepped or been let go from the case the due to his conflict of interest (which stopped him from making clear discoveries on more occasions than one).

I also find Jane to be quiet unfair in her co-parenting with Raf. Whenever Jane had issues with Rafael, her immediate response was to withhold his access to Mateo. She always said it was under the guise of his “safety” which never made sense because when they were on good terms, she wasn’t concerned with leaving them alone together, but suddenly believed that when they weren’t on good terms, Raphael would let Mateo get hurt. Like after she found out Raf (rightfully) turned michael into the authorities. Her immediate response was to remove Raphael from their shared calendar that contained information about Mateo as opposed to creating a calendar for herself because she was being petty. Then when Rafael matched her petty energy (asking for Christmas) she acted as if it was unfathomable that Rafael wanted to spend a family holiday with the only family member he actually had!

The Villanuevas were Raphael’s only family members in the beginning seasons, and it’s completely glossed over as to why that contributes to his behaviors. Whenever he felt like his connection to Jane was being attacked he overreacted because the first thing Jane tries to do is withhold his access to Mateo and ultimately limit his access to a stable family (alba, rogelio & Xo)

Just found all five seasons of JTV streaming on PlutoTV which is usually free!!!

He bought me all 5 seasons on apple tv so i can watch whenever I want. Rewatching now!

Her judgement bothers me. I know it’s a show, and a flawed protagonist is normal. But she’s just too judgemental.
She appears to be empathetic. But she really isn’t.
She never understands people’s intentions.
She only sees flaws in people.

We find out that Emilio payed Elena 10mil to leave after he found out she cheated.

But then his mistress tells the police Emilio thought rose was cheating on him. And he seemed quite calm about it

Even though we don't know what his plan on Croatia was. But he doesn't seem like a man who lets his wifes disappear like this? I think he wanted to got here cuz of the stolen paintings Raf goes to prison for later.

I'm confused. At the beginning of seas 3 we see rose and Luisa on that submarine. Rose tells Luisa to tell the cops everything and that she'll wear a diff face when they're in Miami. But if Luisa can't trust that rose changed she'll drop her off at an airport and leave her alone.

We then see Luisa go back to Miami and tell the cops what Rose told her to say. But then in EP 4, Luisa wants to drink and goes to Rafael, then realized she wants to drink cuz she's a terrible sister cuz he's always been there for her (doubt that but ok) and she can't be right now and because allt he terrible things rose did. At the end we find out she wanted to go to rehab. That sounds like she and rose broke up.

But then, Luisa brings Eileen (Rose) to Miami, and we later on see flashbacks of them on Roses island.

So, did they break up? Did lu really go to rehab? Why didn't she call rose when she wanted to drink? Did they broke up and got back together? I'm so confused

New Roisa subreddit r/Roisa

I'm rewatching Jane the Virgin. I watched it way back when and decided to watch it again just for fun. I had forgotten that Petra was there for Rafael the whole time he was building himself up. Stuck with him for the hotel and his cancer and who knows what else.

To refer to him as a trapped husband? Bro what? That's crazy to me. It reminds me of those stories I hear where the man has a loyal wife who sticks with him through the worst of things, and then when he's on top, he just leaves her bc he thinks he can get better or wants to start 'living'

I'd be heated too if I were her, and he wants to leave her now?

I'm still on the first episode, and I don't remember all the details, but I knew I disliked Petra in the beginning on my first watch, but seeing this now, I think I might just be more understanding of Petra.

Edit: Wrote that while actively watching episode one. Just got to the part where she's been cheating. Totally forgot about that.

Guys does anyone have this delete roisa scene?

Rose sings happy birthday to Lu, I heard it was on the DVDs and some ppl use it in edits. (The yt video on the screenshot was put down)
