“Jane the Virgin” may not be a Mexican telenovela set in Miami, but it certainly captures all the essence and drama of the genre, making it a beloved series that we never knew we needed. From love triangles to quirky main characters and even nonconsensual artificial insemination, the show checks off all the boxes of a classic soap opera.
One of the most iconic soap opera tropes is the resurrection of characters, and “Jane the Virgin” doesn’t disappoint in this aspect. Michael, a pivotal character in the series, meets his demise in season three, only to make a surprising return not long after — a twist straight out of a telenovela playbook.
Fans eagerly awaited Michael’s comeback, and it finally happened in season 4, episode 17 of “Jane the Virgin.” In a dramatic turn of events, the final scene of the season reveals that Michael is alive and well, shattering the belief that he had succumbed to his fate after suffering an aortic dissection.
The timing of Michael’s return couldn’t be more dramatic. Jane and Rafael, another central couple in the series, are taking their relationship to the next level by moving in together. With Rafael contemplating a proposal, the reintroduction of Michael adds a layer of complexity to the storyline. However, there’s a twist — Michael suffers from amnesia, throwing another curveball into the mix.
As fans eagerly anticipate each episode, “Jane the Virgin” continues to deliver the perfect blend of comedy and drama, keeping viewers hooked with its unpredictable plot twists and endearing characters. And with the series available on Netflix, fans can relive the excitement and drama of “Jane the Virgin” whenever they want.
