Eva Longoria stars in this new comedy about Ana Sofia, a sizzling TV superstar, and her lively family of cast and crew all competing to steal the spotlight. When the cameras turn off, the drama turns up as Ana battles pesky network execs, drunken scriptwriters, narcissistic co-stars and an unfortunately familiar new on-screen love interest.

#3 - The Kiss

Season 1 - Episode 4 - Aired 1/4/2016

When Ana (Eva Longoria) learns hot network president James (Zachary Levi) had a "work dinner" with Xavi (Jencarlos Canela), she wants one too, even though Gael (Jose Moreno Brooks) and Mimi (Diana Maria Riva) warn it's really a date. Thrown, Ana decides to channel her inner Pasión to get through, complete with her wardrobe, finger-shushing and pretending to speak Spanish. But on date number two, Ana's facade begins to crumble, and she finally rips out her hair extensions and admits her life is nothing like a telenovela. Undeterred, James moves in for a kiss, just as Ana's fake hair ignites off a candle, setting off the sprinkler system. James carries a drenched Ana out of the nightclub. "So you were saying your life isn't like a telenovela?" he asks, then makes it so. When Isabela (Alex Meneses), Roxie (Jadyn Douglas) and Rodrigo (Amaury Nolasco) hear Xavi complaining that someone's messing with his things, they suggest it's actually the ghost of a dead cast member. The foursome plans to exorcise the lingering spirit that night. After scaring the bejesus out of Xavi, the veterans crack up; it was all a prank to initiate the new guy. Suddenly, a spooky shrouded figure appears, so they run off, leaving Xavi to face the ghost's wrath. That's when Isaac (Izzy Diaz) pulls off the hood of his robe, admitting he secretly lives on set.
