Jane the Virgin Premieres on The CW on October 13, 2014
When Jane Villanueva was a young girl, her grandmother, Alba, convinced her of two things: telenovelas are the highest form of entertainment, and women must protect their virginity at all costs. Now age 23, Jane is a driven young woman studying to become a teacher, nursing a dream to be a writer, and supporting herself with a job at a hot new Miami hotel.
All the years of watching telenovelas with the two women who raised her – her sexy, young-at-heart mother, Xiomara (known as “Xo”), and her still-devout grandmother, Alba – have given Jane a slightly unrealistic view of romance. Although she is determined not to make the same mistake Xo made – becoming an unwed mother at 16 – Jane could not be closer to the two wonderful women who have shaped her life. They are very different people – Xo lives her life as a perpetual teenager, performing at local clubs and always looking for a new man, while Alba makes religion and prayer the focus of her life – but both women consider Jane the center of their universe and love the grounded, compassionate and ambitious young woman she has become.
Despite the conflicting influences of her mother and grandmother, Jane has managed to find a wonderful fiancé: a handsome, hard-working detective named Michael, who loves her enough to accept her detailed timeline for their future together and even her insistence on “saving herself” until they’re married. All of Jane’s meticulous life plans are turned upside down, however, when she sees her doctor for a routine check-up and is accidentally artificially inseminated with a specimen meant for the patient in the next room. Unbeknownst to her, the specimen belongs to Rafael, a reformed playboy and cancer survivor, who is not only the new owner of the hotel where Jane works but also a former summer crush of hers.
A few weeks later, the unsuspecting Jane is faced with the most important decisions of her life. Will she continue with the pregnancy? How can she explain the situation to her fiancé and family? And what should she do about the wishes of the biological father, Rafael, and his scheming wife Petra? At the same time, Jane’s mother Xo is facing a life-changing decision of her own: after years of letting Jane and Alba believe she didn’t know the identity of Jane’s father, the time has come to admit the truth – Jane’s father is Xo’s former boyfriend Rogelio. Making the situation even more surreal, Rogelio is now a huge telenovela star, and he definitely wants to meet his unsuspecting daughter.
Though she has always tried to be the responsible good girl who does the right thing, Jane’s normally quiet life has suddenly become as dramatic, complicated and unpredictable as the telenovelas she has always loved.
The series stars Gina Rodriguez (“Filly Brown,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”) as Jane, Justin Baldoni (“Single Ladies,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”) as Rafael, Brett Dier (“Ravenswood”) as Michael, Andrea Navedo (“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” “Golden Boy”) as Xiomara, Yael Grobglas (“Reign”) as Petra, Ivonne Coll (“Switched at Birth,” “The Bold and the Beautiful”) as Alba and Jaime Camil (“Devious Maids,” “Que Pobres Tan Ricos”) as Rogelio.
JANE THE VIRGIN is produced by CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television, in association with Electus, with executive producers Jennie Snyder Urman (“Emily Owens, M.D.”), Ben Silverman (“The Biggest Loser”), Gary Pearl (“10.5: Apocalypse”) and Jorge Granier (“Que el Cielo Me Explique”).
The doctor artificially inseminating Jane by mistake explains the virginity but the fact the donor was an old crush and the fact the donor had no idea his sperm had been taken in the first place was surprising Author: bala Time: 10-14-2014 04:15 Subject: Reply 5#5 codebreaker's post
Yeah it's a shame promo ruined that part of revelation but there was so much to discuss from pilot i don't know where to start. I know this show has receive a lot negative comment based on the title but this fact that it try incorporate spanish telnova into mainstream teen show is ambitious and the fact they using mixed cast is also impressive .
Jane being tired at doctor appointment, the doctor catching her lover cheating on her and gold digger wanting to artificially inseminate herself so she can stay with her guy who she doesn't love since she cheating on him with his business partner all because of the money has lead to this situation. It's very amusing to see but if that wasn't complicated enough they connect Jane's boyfriend who's a cop doing an investigation on business partner so now everyone connected to Jane situation.
So as you can see this going one very amusing show to watch but i think CW isn't right network for this show it would better luck on ABC Family network since they seem better do these type of shows. Author: codebreaker Time: 10-16-2014 01:17

So Jane appointment had a lot people in that room and knowing that Jane father is Soap star is amusing but how long can she keep that a secret from Jane?.
So who do you think kill him ? Petra is too obvious a target Author: bala Time: 10-24-2014 11:35 Subject: Jane The Virgin - Chapter Three Clip 1
We have no idea who kill him but Petra being main suspect was a little too convenient but i do think her mother might be a suspect. So much Jane trying lose her virginity on an hotel room god had other plans and Jane meeting her father without realise it was amusing.

It was obvious Jane would be mad with her mother over the fact she lied to her about identity of her father but Jane thinking her father was Jimmy Smits was amusing.
Moving with her boyfriend was nice but that guy should done a better job hiding those photos, you would think he would keep those photo at work instead of taking it home with him. This leads to Jane not be able to trust him which is understandable consider how many people have lied to her throughout her life. Author: codebreaker Time: 11-18-2014 01:51
This was good episode Jane teaching a catholic school but having her step sister be in the class was priceless but them exposing Jane situation was awful but nun using it to drum up business was amusing Author: bala Time: 11-26-2014 12:50 Subject: 1x07 Chapter 7

This show really get complicated on occasions and some of storyline you just don't care about but i have to say Jane getting a chance to be telenova writer was interesting but her dad is right she should need approval from anyone if she doesn't conviction that she is good otherwise she wouldn't survive in the business. . Look like ulter motive behind jane being the writer. Author: bala Time: 2-3-2015 07:57 Subject: 1x12 Chapter Twelve

Things really get out of hand on this show but jane day dreaming about situation as soap opera was very amusing to see Author: codebreaker Time: 3-10-2015 02:20
Jane having concerns on how Rafael will be as parent were realistic as he seem too focus on the hotel but his decision break up with her was a really bad move as she really needs his support but it's good thing she has support from both her mother and grandmother so she won't be alone.
