[QUOTE="Monzo, post: 439404, member: 19949"] I don't speak Spanish, but as a native German speaker, I can understand what you mean. I've stopped watching so many German series after just a few episodes (despite having cast members in it I like) because the way the characters talk (to each other) doesn't appeal to me. I had no idea it was such a big issue in Spain, that there are even YouTube videos about it. Gran Hotel was advertised as the Spanish Downton Abbey when it premiered in Germany. Well, it's not Downton Abbey, but I think it's well-produced and visually appealing. As a foreigner who watched just a few Spanish series, I actually thought the stars from Ramón Campos's shows had become real stars in Spain. I recently saw Miguel Ángel Silvestre, the male lead in Velvet, in a Spanish-German tv movies co-production (Morales & Weiss), but I have to admit, his acting there was very much in the Velvet vein. And is Gran Hotel villain Pedro Alonso not a real star in Spain by now, or is his fame solely due to La Casa de Pape? [/QUOTE]
