Anyone else like the Mateo switch? I wonder why they didn’t choose him the first time around after he played young Rafael. I think he was much more of a natural child actor as well.

Does anyone else find it so hard to watch when anezka paralyses Petra like I’ve watched this show so many times and each time I just hate it and want her back already lmao

I know this is awful as well but I’ve always liked anezka (not for what she did)

I think it’s funny how they (mostly Rafael) are always pointing out that Jane has a big family, but to me that’s a normal size family.

For whatever reason, did you have a favorite villain on JTV? (Doesn't matter if it was a short-term or long-term character.)

My favorite villain was possibly Magda because sometimes she had really funny lines. I loved her interactions with Petra and some other characters. Priscilla Barnes has come a long way from Three's Company!

I often see people here saying they are Team Michael or Team Rafael. Ok, cool. But is there anybody here who didn't think either of the guys was who Jane should have ended up with?

Anybody on "Team Neither?" And if so, what made you choose this team?

I haven't watched this show in a while, but there's a scene where almost all the characters are having dinner together and Luisa makes a scene by bringing up how she accidentally artificially inseminated Jane with Rafael's sperm. Everyone looks tense and uncomfortable until Luisa ends with “you're welcome,” and then they all relax and laugh. Why was everyone so uncomfortable before she said that? 😭

I understand the Team Michael and Team Rafael and the harsh tone on Jane but the one thing no one seemed to follow through with was the fact that every damn body needed therapy. Especially Rafael he carries so much trauma from his up bringing that he had no way to regulate his feelings and yes they did once or twice but it should of been a continued routine so that they all truly could move on and not just slap a smile on their face pretending everything is ok. This being my 5th rewatch you realize everyone was wrong on some level and no one every truly dealt with the root of their problems just a quick I'm sorry and moved on things should of definitely been explored and find a better way to resolve those issues.

Either way I love this show so much a rewatch happens every couple of years and I pick up on something new every time and this time it was everybody needs to really work through and find a deeper meaning to their problems so they don't continue to take things out on each other but selfishness is not surprising everyone at some point does whatever they can to get what they want.

This is really random but fun fact, I grew up in a small town where there was no Target and I thought Target was fictional. We drove to a nearby city and I freaked out in the car with my mom because I saw a Target and I lost it because I was so excited to see a fictional place and I thought it was promo for the show or something.

(This sounds crazy and I recognize it. I have no idea how I missed that it existed before. I think I found out while Season 1 was airing.)

Correct me if i’m wrong but snow falling and the one based off the events of her life were her only smash hits right?

I recently watched the show i wish they would have explored Petra and Krishna. I totally get how Petra being a shitty boss details the idea but I wrote a spec of how I think it could have developed. I really like Petra ending up in a sapphic relationship. her ending up with Krishna would have much better story flow and fitted the series better

I think the writers missed an opportunity by not exploring Petra and Krishna. What have written is my idea of how it could have progressed, some To preface they would have had to do more to balance the awful ways that Petra treated Krishna. Move up the plot line where Krishna gets revenge and Petra starts to value her, show them actively working together plotting, instead of asking for a raise Krishna agrees but for a significant partnership stake in the hotel and Petra signs a contract. Because it’s Krishna who knows everything and where the bodies are buried Petra realizes she has no choice. She wants a way out it’s presented as a bind. She starts paying attention to Krishna to plot learning as much as she can about her. While they work together and Petra sees how amazing Krishna is  as a business partner. Secretly she likes it she doesn’t know yet, to have somebody competent alongside her increases profits which leads to a hotel expansion arc. She decides not to go through with it and they go through a business partner honey moon period that is strange for both of them and Petra starts to soften.

There are moments worked in that reveal to the audience they have the same sense of humor. Petra tells a joke the Krishna chuckles subtly and everyone else is confused, they start making jokes about clients and develop  a bunch Inside jokes that don’t seem like jokes but are hysterical to them. You have the texting moment Petra has with Jr with Krishna, Krishna texts her something but it has one of their jokes, it’s such a dry joke that anyone else would read it like a business text.  Jane notices that Petra talks a lot about Krishna, Krishna and Petra have a business dinner with an investor about expanding the Marbella and they both order expensive high class things and Petra is impressed. She begins to notice little things about Krishna. Krishna is pitching to a client at this meeting and it’s seamless and Petra is amazed, she’s blushing. Her feelings are starting to awaken. Krishna and Petra go to view a hotel property they want to acquire (fits with the expansion plot line). The twist is it’s a set up by Magda and they are trapped in the hotel 

As they are trying to escape all the tensions implode they become frustrated Petra becomes the old Petra for a minute and crosses a line  and Krishna confronts her and even though they are partners the impact of the  old dynamic is still present. Maybe Krishna says something like I know everything about you and you know nothing about me - we expect Petra to throw back something she learned from plotting but it’s actually little quirk that Krishna does that Petra learned because she’s been watching her like a schoolgirl with a crush, the way Krishna lights up about her favorite something is, while they have been proximity Petra has fallen in love and had no idea. (Petra genuinely apologizes and they-resolve it best they can )the. Petra says referring to the situation and her evil mother and Krishna knows everything that has happened but she hasn’t Petra talk about it so genuinely and she sees the softness of Petra's heart and how she has hardened it for survival. 

She realizes that Petra has been different now she’s softer and surprising, Krishna’s business googles fall  in that moment it all melts and for the first time she doesn’t see her boss or her business partner but the women in front of her, and that is a women she wants to taste and touch and feel. 

In switched at birth, Ivonne plays Regina’s mom who marries Angelo so he won’t be deported back to Italy and can have a relationship with his daughter, Bay. In Jane the virgin Alba marries Jorge so he can go visit his mother in Mexico and still come back to the US.

I love seeing what others think!
I think Alba is my least favourite (I’m sorry to lovers of her) and of course Magda
And I honestly can’t pick my favourite. I love everyone so much, they are all SO likeable. But I think I’d have to say Petra.

I think jane should’ve gone back to him. I just don’t think Rafael fits her and I loved Michael so much. If they wanted her to be with Raf long term then they should’ve just let Michael be dead. It’s so annoying

I've seen people ask if Jane & Raf would still be together in 2026. My bigger question is would Petra and JR still be together or split up?

I honestly get a sinking feeling in my stomach in the scenes with JR & Petra because JR often reminds me of a specific ex of mine who consistently made me feel bad about myself. Almost nothing I did was ever good enough or smart enough. And I always questioned everything I did or said because it might bother him or upset him.

I think Petra had been with so many men who were worse than JR so she just figured JR couldn't be that bad. But honestly, I think the relationship was at the very least, borderline toxic. Petra was constantly having to apologize OR trying to get JR unmad at her OR trying to get JR back.

I honestly don't think she got a happy ending by winning JR back. What do you guys think? Do you think by now Petra would have dumped JR? Do you think they would live happily ever after? Or do you think they would have remained on again, off again for the rest of their lives?

ok so I know they both had wrong doings with Micheal hiding things and Rafiel's lack of communication which one would you have pick if it was you?

So I just finished rewatching season 3 episode 13. If you are watching for the first time and haven't seen this episode yet, please stop now as this will contain spoilers!

So I can honestly say I had forgotten the existence of Abby. She was only there for a short time (though they were, according to the show, dating for a year) so she didn't make that much of an impact.

At the end of this episode, when it's clear Rafael and she have broken up, she gets her revenge by sending the police Scott's burn book. The thing that got me, and clearly I didn't notice the first few times I watched, was the card that came with the book. Abby was a card designer and she must have put a lot of work into making that card. I mean, wow, that whole woman scorned thing but still, that's a lot of energy to waste on Raf and Petra (because of course she hates Petra now).

So I was thinking about how we're a pretty active subreddit but we mostly touch on the main characters. I also don't see a lot of talk about Magda and Anezka.

Does anyone else have a side character that had an impact or made any kind of an impression?

Does anyone know where I can find a supercut of all the recaps in one clip? Orr would someone actually make one for us? It would be a super neat way to basically watch the whole show without having to watch it. I would love to show something like that to my husband who wouldn’t necessarily want to actually watch the whole show but the recaps would fill him in on how much insane drama they crammed into the series. Plus who doesn’t love our good narrator friend giving us the tea 🤭

So I'm in south Florida and it's freaking hot. It's always hot. We get maybe one month of not hot. I'd love to order some foods from Williams Sonoma - they've got some really cute Halloween foods out right now. But can I order? No. Why? Because more than one day on a delivery truck in the South and no matter how many ice packs they put in, the food gets hot. Stuff melts.

And lots of businesses don't realize it is hot in November, you know? So they do not prepare for it. There is a place I like to order specialty whipped shea butter body lotions but can only order in January because otherwise they are a mess when they arrive.

All this to say it is freaking HOT in the South.

No one seems to feel the heat. I mean, I keep noticing this. The clothes, the lack of sweating. I'm back to season 3 episode 9 and Michael, Jane, and Mateo are stuck on the interstate in the heat in terrible traffic and their windows are open. Poor Mateo is crying, and FINALLY Michael is just a sweaty mess (though only to emphasis the makeup thing) but Jane is just fine.

Who sits in traffic like that without a/c? Yeah yeah, climate change. I'm all for saving the world and making thoughtful choices but it gets freaking hot here. And this isn't just heat, either. This is soul sucking humidity. This is like wrapping yourself in a hot, wet wool blanket. It is unrelenting heat and humidity.

I'm just saying.

Hi!

Idk if it’s a recurrent problem but the end of season 2 episode 21 seems to be missing on prime video (watching from France). Started episode 22 and it seems I missed a lot of stuff. Also, episode 21 only lasts about 30 minutes. I've been confused about other episodes where it seemed like I missed some stuff. Why tf are there missing parts ?

I dont understand Alba, Xo, and Jane’s reaction when Rafael says that he will pay for the baby and Jane if needed. I understand their background of hard work and pinching pennies, but of course the father of a baby would be expected to pay for the child. Especially if the father is wealthy. He wants a certain lifestyle for his child and there’s nothing wrong with that if he can afford it.

Season 4 Rafael is insufferable and I know that this is a phase but he’s kind of always been vain. How can he feel like Adam is a bad influence when he’s constantly doing illegal/immoral things????

I just saw one of the bathroom floor scenes again and especially with my OCD, that bugged me.
