Recap: Forbidden Passion Season 2 Was Scrapped Due To Monica Spear's Passing
Forbidden Passion is a 2012 drama series produced by Telemundo Studios that followed the long road love story of Bianca and Bruno. I don't want to spoil it or give too much basically the female lead got involved with her lover's uncle.
Based on the 2008 Turkish drama Aşk-ı Memnu which derives from the novel of the same name. It starred Monica Spear and Jencarlos Canela alongside Roberto Vander, Mercedes Molto, Rebecca Jones, Henry Zakka, Jorge Consejo and Carmen Aub.
From what a certain deleted article mentioned before passing, the series was renewed for a second season and some of the cast were to set to reprise their roles including Monica Spear and the part in bold shouldn't be read if you haven't watched the show.
Everyday Novelas:
- Between You And Me now on Zee One
- Eternal Love coming soon to Star Life
- Fearless Heart coming soon to Telemundo
The second season would have seen the revival of Bianca after she committed suicide on her ex lover's wedding which never happened following her passing. Basically, the network loves to revive characters that were reported dead but who cares we got Lord Of The Skies S8.
Now the reason a second season ended up being scrapped with no chance of it in the coming future I mean I wouldn't be shocked if it was rebooted had to do with the unfortunate passing of Monica Spear with Forbidden Passion being her last project.
For those who weren't aware of the whole matter it goes as follows:
Monica Spear, 29, a soap opera actress, and Thomas Berry, 39, died after being attacked when their car broke down at night on a highway in central Venezuela in January.
Their daughter, Maya Berry Spear, suffered a leg injury but was in a stable condition after the attack that put a spotlight on the country's soaring murder rate.
The three men confessed to their involvement in the murder, the public prosecutor's office said in a statement.
Jean Carlos Colina, 19, got a 26-year sentence, while Jose Ferreira Herrera, 18, and Nelfrend Jimenez Alvarez, 21, were jailed for 24 years, the statement said.

What happened to little Maya?
14-year-old Maya Berry Spear, daughter of Monica Spear, was legally adopted by the brother of the remembered former beauty queen Ricardo Spear and his partner, actress Daniela Bueno, who signed the papers in August this year.
Let us remember that since Monica's tragic death, those who were in charge of little Maya were her maternal grandparents, Rafael Spear and Inge Mootz, but she always grew up surrounded by the love of all her family, especially her uncles.
"I witnessed how he was busy, at the time from his role as an uncle, to give her values and fill her with love." Ricardo has a generous heart and has always been very protective and loving with her. We knew it came with a huge responsibility, however, we took on it and today we are happy about the decisions we made. "Our family is built from will and this bond is forever," Daniela told People in Spanish.
How do you think Forbidden Passions season 2 would have turned out had it finished production?
Could Universal Kids Be The Next Channel From NBCUniversal To Close Soon?
Universal Kids is a children's entertainment channel operated by NBCUniversal in the United States targeting audiences aged 2-14. For those who aren't familiar with the brand, it's basically the American counterpart of DreamWorks Channel.
Universal Kids once offered live-action series like Hank Zipzer and Top Chef now it only offers animation mainly from DreamWorks Animation and NBCUniversal archives such as Where's Waldo, Norman Picklestripes, Dragons and Trolls: The Beat Goes On.
As seen within Nielsen's ratings for the year end 2022, Universal Kids has lost 34% of their viewers. It went from having at least 34000 viewers to a whopping 23000 and a year prior it increased to about 4% so why is that.
Regular Nick:
- Here are other ways to view PBS Kids
- The Twisted Timeline Of Sammy And Raj coming soon to Nickelodeon
- Predictions: Nicktoons and Boomerang's untimely demise
Before Universal Kids, the brand was once a preschool channel refered to as Sprout which competed with brands like CBeebies and Baby TV with shows like Chica, Nina's World and Jay Jay The Jet Plane.
After its acquisition by NBCUniversal in 2015, the company was looking to invent a channel that could take on the likes of Cartoon Network, Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. How good that turned out to be still lost on why they couldn't have done with DreamWorks.
As analysed by several friends of mine, NBCUniversal rushed to have this channel onboard. To me it would have made more sense to change the content as Sprout was still relevant around the time Universal Kids entertained.
Perhaps, NBCUniversal could have greenlit original series particularly for Sprout but catered to a wider audience aged 8-14 and try getting shows like AFHV and Ripley's Believe It Or Not as one is family oriented and the other educational.
Overtime we could have got more entertaining shows from the brand as more audiences would have been glued.
Thereafter they could have fiddled around with the brand name a bit refer to it as Universal Sprout and shortly after Universal Kids but I think DreamWorks would have made sense as more people would have been familiar with the brand and it wouldn't bomb so much.
Insidus Games:
- Tom And Jerry: Infurnal Escape
- Tom And Jerry: The Magic Ring
- The Wild Thornberrys Movie
As mentioned, Universal Kids' audience continues to plummet behind closed doors NBCUniversal hasn't bothered to source out anything for the channel through their archives so it's safe to say that the channel might as well be closing down.
Joining another channel that pulled far less viewers which is the gaming brand G4.
Although Universal Kids' demise seems more transparent within each passing second. The upside to all this is DreamWorks as distribution and popularity for the brand continues to accelerate after Disney closes their channels.
So if there's anything I think NBCUniversal should learn from all this is that they don't need to work hard to be another Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon but fight to their own strengths and the rest will come later as seen with DreamWorks.
Vince McMahon Reportedly Looking Into Returning To WWE In Order To Sell It
He left control of the WWE to his daughter Stephanie and son in law Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, a wrestling legend himself.
But now, according to Wall Street Journal, McMahon is looking to make a WWE comeback in order to help sell the sports entertainment giant.
He still has majority voting power through his ownership of WWE’s Class-B stock and is believed to have informed staff of his plans to return.
McMahon is said to have told the company he is electing himself and two former co-presidents and directors, Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to the board.
Superhero:
- G4 has been shut down
- Showmax to become exclusive home of WWE
- 10 real freak accidents on WWE
But the move to reinstate him, something the board previously rebuffed, and the others will require three current directors to vacate their positions.
Rumours of a sell have swirled for years despite the WWE receiving a $1BILLION cash injection after selling US rights to the WWE Network to Peacock.
McMahon decided to leave the WWE last summer following a series of scandals.
There were claims he paid an ex-employee $3million to stay quiet about an affair.
The probe began in April 2022, finding non-disclosure agreements involving claims made by female ex-WWE employees of misconduct by McMahon and John Laurinaitis, the head of talent relations.
WWE:
- Could the WWE channel be exiting the DStv platform?
- NXT Europe to rollout later in the year
- The controversial history of The Fabulous Moolah
The WWE put out a statement on confirming McMahon "voluntarily stepped back from his responsibilities" within the company.
The American bought Capitol Wrestling Corporation, the holding company that owned the then-World Wrestling Federation from his father, Vincent J McMahon, in 1982.
He expanded the company during the pro-wrestling boom in the 1980s and over the years, WWE has cited McMahon as the key to the company's success.
It has seen them rocket to the top of pro wrestling, a position they have maintained throughout their existence.
