‘Lopez vs. Lopez’: Will George & Rosie Finally Rekindle Their Romance? (VIDEO)
NBC‘s freshman sitcom Lopez vs. Lopez starring George Lopez and his real-life daughter Mayan Lopez has established itself as a series that not only makes us laugh, but also hits on important issues. And that is especially evident in the Friday, February 17 episode entitled “Lopez vs. Appropriation.”
In the installment, Mayan (Mayan Lopez) and her father clash over how to handle a business opportunity that’s lucrative but also may cross some moral lines. “Mayan starts making these dog beds that are made out of Mexican serapes and brings them into my work with me,” Mayan tells us. Enter guest star Caroline Rhea, whose character Jana is described by Mayan as the show’s “Karen character,” and who wants to sell the beds to make them both rich.
However, the plan hits a snag, Mayan says, when “[Jana] calls them Clint Eastwood ponchos and so I’m like, no, this is something from my culture!” However, when Jana gets shut down by Mayan, she goes to George, who is always looking for a way to get rich quickly.
Also in the episode, George’s ex and Mayan’s mother Rosie (Selenis Leyva) is faced with her own dilemma in the kitchen. “Rosie has to make a decision about some spices that she uses,” Leyva explains. “She’s been using for a long time and it just so happens that the president of that company has said really awful things about a lot of people.” Will Rosie do the right thing and give up the product or will she keep using it?
Speaking of Rosie, we had to ask if there’s any chance for Rosie and George to rekindle their relationship since the divorced couple may fight often but also seems to still have some fire when together. Check out the video above to see what Leyva and George had to say about this idea.
