CONTINUITY

BEHIND THE SCENES
  • The show lampshades Mateo being re-cast between seasons 3 and 4 by having Jane show the lady questioning if she's Mateo's mother a picture of Jane and Mateo when Joseph Sanders portrayed Mateo, to which the woman says it doesn't look like him at all.
  • Audrey Starr, who plays Shopper, is the real-life mother of Elias Janssen (Mateo Solano Villanueva).
PARALLELS
  • Like when she first fell in love with Rafael, Jane tries to deny any feelings for Michael to avoid the complications that will ensue but has to give up and admit she’s not sure she feels nothing for him, so before taking a definitive decision about whom she wants to be with, she decides to explore things with Michael.
