The last several episodes of Jane the Virgin have been some of the best the show’s ever been, and they’ve also shifted into a very serious place for the three Villanueva women at the center of the show.
Jane’s mother, Xiomara, is diagnosed with breast cancer, and a show that’s often tied its tragedy to heightened telenovela-style drama has turned toward a more real-world, personal source for its serious stories.
In the show’s most recent episode, Xiomara struggles with a choice about which surgery to have and who in her life should help her make these decisions. Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman and the episode writer Valentina Garza talked about Xiomara’s story, about their own personal connections with breast cancer, and about how to tell intimate, somber stories inside a bubbly telenovela.
How long did you know this story was coming for Xiomara?
Jennie Snyder Urman:I had originally thought about the story last year. My mom had breast cancer twice (though this is not her story), and so we had talked about it in the room lightly, but last year was su

&#;Jane The Virgin,&#; &#;The Americans&#; Lead Charge of American TV Showcasing Characters&#; Cultures Through Multiple Languages
As television series scramble to feature characters who better reflect America’s cultural melting pot, so too have creators and executive producers come to realize that not all the people they’re depicting would (and should) speak English.
Jennie Snyder Urman knew it was important for both equality and accuracy’s sake to include Spanish in a show about a multi-generational Latin family when she wrote the pilot for her comedy-drama, “Jane the Virgin,” which is now in its fourth season on the CW. When there was a moment of hesitation about keeping it in before filming started, star Gina Rodriguez and other cast members promised her that it is completely realistic to have a Venezuela-born grandmother (Ivonne Coll’s Alba) listen to her American-born offspring speak in English, but answer them in Spanish.
