Primetime television’s hottest series Pasion De Amor is on its last three weeks. And in the upcoming episodes leading to its finale, the audience will be surprised as the show becomes even more packed with unpredictable twists, intense emotions, and passion-filled romance.
It seems that Gabriela is on her way to getting redemption as she subtly and gradually admits to her sins. This prompts Elizondo sisters Norma (Arci Munoz), Sari (Ellen Adarna), and Jamie (Coleen Garcia) to convince their mother to surrender herself to authorities. Will Gabriela agree to this? Will she finally let go of the anger she feels and choose to regain the trust and love of her daughters?
With everything that has happened, the Elizondos and the Samontes— Juan (JakeCuenca), Oscar (Ejay Falcon), and Franco (Joseph Marco)— will not only strengthen their bonds, but will also let their hearts grow even closer and make them more certain of their feelings for each other.
Just as when things are falling into place, however, Gabriel (Wendell Ramos) manages to escape jail, which will put their lives in danger once more. Will love prevail over revenge in the end?
Since Pasion De Amor aired in June, the telenovela adaptation has been a certified hit and has consistently dominated its timeslot on national TV ratings. It hit an all-time high of 29.2 percent in October and regularly occupies a spot in the top 10 most watched programs in the country, according to Kantar Media.
