Before Gina Rodriguez was working in a hotel on Jane the Virgin, she was working in a bakery on Army Wives. How cute was the 25 year old in that 2010 episode?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOicVZ_sFz8 Jane the Virgin continues her story on The CW tonight at 9p and you don’t want to miss a single second of it. Last week we fell in love with her and tonight we will become even more infatuated.
The hotel is planning a big party and Petra (Yael Grobglas) wants to make sure it is huge success for her father-in-law. But before we get to the party, so much more happens.
Jane (Gina Rodriguez) has a talk with her mother (Andrea Navedo), grandmother (Ivonne Coll) and fiance’ about the baby, well she names it something else so she doesn’t get too attached. Will they be able to honor her wishes?
When she gets to work, someone there doesn’t honor them. That person is Rafael, and he wants to tell her he’s splitting from his wife, Petra. Will he do it?
We find out why Jane’s fiance’, Michael (Brett Dier), is scoping out Zaz (Alano Miller). Will he be able to figure out that the woman in his hotel room, he’s sleeping with, is Petra?
Which leads to the moment when he meets Rafael and Petra at Jane’s doctor appointment. Which is a lot of fun for Jane because everyone, including her family, is also there to be by her side. How will they all get along?
Well everyone but Jane’s father, who is begging her mom to let their daughter know about him. Is tonight the night?
And before the episode ends, someone will be muerto, as in dead. But I’ve said too much.
And here is what the show creator, Jennie Snyder Urman, had to say about her baby that wasn’t accidentally artificially inseminated in to her, “I have a very specific tone that I’m trying to hit that there’s sort of a fairy-tale, whimsical quality to it. At the same time, this is a telenovela, and I want to take advantage of all the fun and sort of license that comes with being able to adapt a telenovela and all the tropes that come with that, an evil twin.†Then she added, “I want to do all those big things, and I’m hoping that if I just keep the characters really grounded and relatable, and they react as one would when really bizarre things happen, we’ll find the comedy in that. It’s a tricky tone. It’s one I’m excited about tackling. And we’ll do our best. I’m sure we will read a lot of feedback.â€
I am sure you will have feedback to give to Jennie Snyder Urman, so send her a Tweet after the episode and tell her how much you adore this show. Jane the Virgin is unlike anything else of TV, especially Mondays, so sit back and enjoy a show that leaves you with a smile on your face. Not only because it is so positive, but because it is also so good.

For months you have heard reporters gush over Jane the Virgin and its star Gina Rodriguez, and tonight at 9p on The CW you get to see what we have all been talking about.
Jane is a 23 year old virgin and she is about to get some news that will change her whole life.
Since she was a little girl, her grandmother instilled in her to remain virtuous until her wedding day. So that is what the daughter of a teenage mother has done. Which hasn’t been easy recently because she has been seeing Michael (Brett Dier) for 2 years, and he is hot. Besides dating him, she is working at a hotel and going to school to be a teacher. She has a plan, and marrying him is not part of it until after she gets her degree.
Back to the hotel, they have a new owner, Rafael (Justin Baldoni). Jane met him once before, and their lives about to collide again.
One day, Jane goes to the gynecologist to get a pap smear at the same time Rafael’s wife, Petra (Yael Grobglas), has gone into get inseminated with his sample. You see, Rafael had cancer and that is his only sample that’s left. Anyways, back to the doctors, Rafael’s sister is a gynecologist and she is having a bad day. So much so, that she accidentally inseminates Jane instead of her sister-in-law, who she didn’t know what coming in to get the procedure done. Which makes sense because Petra just found out that her husband wants to divorce her. If he does that, she will be out a lot of money because they have an iron-clad pre-nup.
Fast forward to two weeks later and Jane the Virgin is pregnant. Now she has to decide what to do. Does she keep it or does get rid of it? If she keeps it, then her boyfriend will dump her. Give it to Rafael since it is half his? That is a lot for any girl to decide. Thankfully, she has her mother, Xiomara (Andrea Navedo) and her abuela (Ivonne Coll) to help her out. In doing so, she finds out some secrets from her past about them, and these are not the only secrets that come out.
Since Jane the Virgin is based on a Spanish Telenovela, be prepared for many many more to come out. Ay dios mio!
Out of all the new shows on television this season, Jane the Virgin is by far the sweetest one of them all. You can’t help but to fall in love with the show and the star. Gina Rodriguez is the future of Hollywood, and more stars should follow her example on how they should be. She’s smart, beautiful, humble and she can act! Just like Gina, the show is smart, beautiful, humble and it can act. Well it has a lot of great actors to support Gina.
Jane the Virgin is unlike anything else on The CW and I hope this is the first of many shows like it on the network. Not that there is anything wrong with the others, but when you see just how lovable and infectious Jane the Virgin is you are going to want more shows like it on the air.
