The Czech Republic's "Ošklivka Katka" (Ugly Katka) Update

Contributed by: Sizlard & Eileen of Telenovelaslatinas Forum

The Czech Republic's "Ošklivka Katka" (Ugly Katka) premiered on March 3, 2008, and starred Kateřina Janečková as Kateřina Bertoldová and Lukáš Hejlík as Tomáš Meduna, her boss at KM Styl. The Prima network originally aired two episodes per week, on Monday and Wednesday nights, with a planned run of 168 episodes. On June 6, 2008, Prima began airing three episodes per week—on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday nights at 8:00pm—in anticipation of a brief summer hiatus, which would take place from June 14 to August 25, to allow for football broadcasts to take Katka's time slot. Episodes were rerun on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, for those who missed the airings during the week.

On another note they are on episode #31 and they are following pretty close the original but kinda on a hurry.

• Hugo  and Tomas are at the gay bar and Hugo kisses Tomas
• Katka will be in charge while Tomas, Mark, and Marcela are gone (Paris)
• While Katka is in charge Patrice makes her life miserable
• Then Tomas receives a call telling him there's something wrong with the new collection. 

I'm kind of surprised that they're rushing things, though.  Yo soy Betty, la fea, Ne Rodis Krasivoy, and Co Gai Xau Xi didn't get to the gay bar scene until around episode 40.  They're supposed to do 168 episodes of Katka, which is only one episode fewer than YSBLF and CGXX, so if they go too quickly, I wonder what they'll fill in the rest of the episodes with... Not a Czech Aldo Domenzain, I hope.
