I have nothing but respect for Don Arturo's work and opinions, and I have loved Kate since her days in teen soaps. Count me in. Second time they are teaming up, the first was for The Queen of the South.
ReplyDeleteI know she has some hit series currently, but I do not think that she has any international appeal. So this will probably be just for the local market.
DeleteSearching for gold coins would be treacherous if others were looking for them too.
ReplyDeleteWell, not if they already stole them and hid them somewhere safe :)
DeleteI'd be too lazy to go on a treasure hunt for some gold coins. Just my luck I'd be a day late finding it.
ReplyDeleteI would still try.
