Pasión de Gavilanes' Norma Had to Retrain Her Memory

A year before the Reyes brothers and the Elizondo sisters rode back onto the hacienda for the 2022 second season, Danna García was memorizing a few lines of poetry every morning. COVID-19 had reached her heart, lungs and liver in 2020, and it took words and names with it. This is Pasión de Gavilanes (2003), the Telemundo and Caracol telenovela, told couple by couple. Mario Cimarro, our Juan Reyes, spent close to ten years away from television and came back at 50. Michel Brown, Franco, was missing from the first episodes of season two, the same year he led Netflix's Pálpito. Natasha Klauss, Sarita, has spoken openly about anxiety, depression and starting over. Juan Alfonso Baptista, el Gato, had to learn to speak again at 19. Paola Rey, Jimena, won MasterChef Celebrity Colombia. Kristina Lilley, the mother everyone loved to hate, was born in New York and beat cancer three times. We also remember Sebastián Boscán, Leandro Santos in the first season, who died in November 2021 at 41, less than three months before the sequel premiered. Which couple did you root for at home: Juan and Norma, Franco and Sarita, or Óscar and Jimena?
