Silvia in Numbers
When Booker told me about the Pelirroja appreciation lecture series, I was reticent in posting a lecture. Primarily because I cannot really say why I like Silvia - I'm not good with emotions that way. Instead, here are some random Silvia number tidbits, some of which have already been elevated to the pantheon of all things Silvia:
(Late) chemical reaction
And the question is rather simple: Why do you love Silvia Castro?
But I don’t seem to be able to describe it. I don’t think there’s a reason. I’m going to blame it on chemistry and that’ll be it. I love Silvia Castro because there is a chemical reaction in my brain provoked only by the sight of her. She doesn’t even have to talk. She is herself. And that’s my reason.
The character of Silvia and I have come a long way. I must admit I never paid too much attention to her in my early PepSi days because my first reaction was “Oh, she is HOT and so GAY!” when I saw Pepa on screen. I felt the PepaForce immediately, and that blocked me from seeing any further. I never had the chance to put my eyes on Silvia, because Pepa was all over me.
A couple of weeks later, I began seeing Silvia from a different perspective as I realised something: I am a Pepalogist (not a Pepaholic) for the wrong reasons. It is not that I am attracted to Pepa, it’s that I am like Pepa [And I know Piper would argue here that I’m still 24-to-go to be like-like her, LOL]. So it became quite evident to me that I was abducted by the PepaForce because I was indirectly attracted, chemically, to Silvia. Sounds like a funny argument, huh? I know, but it does total sense to me. Silvia is everything I am not – difficult, neurotic, scientist, innocent, high-pitched, feminine and a redhead. I am chemically in love with the character because she represents everything I’m not, and everything I pretty much look for in a woman unconsciously. Someone that would hunt me down to kick me ass around the house because I left the shampoo bottle opened or because I didn’t do the dishes.
Since I’ve been translating season 4 in the last few weeks, I had the chance to re-watch the early PepSi build up and I must admit I am a Silviaholic all the way. It’s a late realisation, but it’s an unavoidable chemical reaction. If it wasn’t because I have someone else’s picture in my wallet already, I could easily carry hers around – or maybe not, but she is definitely the perfect girl that we all Pepaish ladies around the globe would like to have, isn’t she?
Here’s a side-note confession: I got the problem that I am biased when watching Spanish shows because I know the actors. Marian Aguilera, like Pepón Nieto, Hugo Silvia, etc... are or were well-known actors before LHDP, whereas Laura Sánchez wasn’t. So the international community saw Silvia, and that was their first contact with the actress, but for me, Silvia was the one interpreted by the actress who had played the rich brat in Al salir de clase, the rich bitch in Esencia de poder and the rich weirdo in El inquilino [Funny how she’s always playing a rich character hehe]. Sometimes your brain cannot process the difference, and it’s hard for you to separate the actor from the show – as for example, when you see Matthew Perry in The Whole Nine Yards but you keep calling him Chandler. So Silvia, for us, the young Spaniards who grew up watching Al salir de clase every afternoon, was Miriam – the rich bitchy brat. It took me a loooong time to get rid of that perception, of that mental prejudice and start seeing Silvia the way I was supposed to see her. And I should apologize :)
Log: And this is random, but I love the fact that Silvia is interpreted by Marian Aguilera, an actress that was born in a place 20 miles north from where I was born and that is a sweet Catalan speaker. Like I’m sure many Spaniards from the south love the fact that Pepa shares their accent. It’s something stupid but that makes me like her even more.

I know who I am
The death of Silvia has changed my life. It sounds dramatic but after episode 104 I was heartbroken, desperate and very lonely. How did one character alter my existence?
Like Silvia, I have been with men all my life. And like Silvia I knew something wasn’t right. I liked the men I was with. They have all been very good to me. No one ever hurt me or did something to me against my will. On a mental and physical level something was missing.
From the age of 10 I have been attracted to girls. At high school I had a huge crush on a girl, I dreamed about her every night. I secretly wished she would hold and kiss me at the prom. Of course that didn’t happen. And because I didn't give in to my desire to be with a woman, I just kept having relationships with men.
As I grew older my feelings towards women were kept under lock and key. Not giving in to my inner desire to be with a woman I kept having relationships with men.
Than I saw Silvia in a YouTube clip. I was mesmerized by her beauty. She looked so vulnerable and to see her struggle with her feelings for Pepa made me again aware of my own feelings. Silvia did everything I couldn’t do. She fell in love, she held hands, kissed in public, came out to her family, made love to a woman, and married the one person she loved unconditionally. Silvia has come a long way. Pepa was there to guide her but it was Silvia who had to make the first move. With baby steps she discovered who she truly was: a woman in love with a woman.
I know Silvia is a TV character, but to me she was an inspiration to finally face reality and admit to people close to me that I am emotionally and physically attracted to women.
Silvia is gone and thank god I’m still alive. Silvia has made me aware of two things: I know who I am and I know what I want. I am a woman worth loving and I want a Pepa.

Hey, Hey, You, You, I Want to be your Girlfriend!
Should I admit that I never noticed how extraordinary Silvia Leon Castro was until the subject if we were Silvialogist or a Pepalogist came into light?
I am a PepSilogist foremost. It’s the female couple I’m fond of the most but when the question was asked, I looked at Pepa and Silvia and found myself swaying towards the redhead. Pepa is magnetic and displays beauty with her striking personality and larger than life smile. But it was the mystery of Silvia that held me captivated. With the lift of an eyebrow, a sly secret wink, a subtle grin and the flare of the nostrils, I’m left wondering what she is really thinking. I can decipher Silvia’s emotions in different ways but I will never know the truth.
The reality is that Silvia displays qualities of what I would like in a girlfriend.
Her work ethic is impeccable. She was a highly respected Inspector who was the only one in the Precinct who did her work correctly the first time. Yes, she did some questionable things such as when she followed Lucas to a meet but ended up being shot. But you could count on Siliva to do the job and take it seriously all the way through.
Her loyalty to family was unfathomable. She loved her father dearly and her sister Lola was more than a sister but her best friend.
I can hold a long grudge against a family member, I am an example as I haven’t spoken to one of my sisters for over 10 years! If I was Silvia and knew my 16 year old niece was the reason why my husband and I divorced, I wouldn’t forgive either of them. Silvia was able to forget all that because they were family.
Her love is unconditional. Once the redhead found love, she gave her whole heart. Her love for Lucas seemed relentless, her love for Montoya was encouraging but hers with Pepa was unreserved. You could tell that Silvia’s soul was poured into any relationship and anyone should have been proud for this gift. Pepa was the only one who truly treasured it.
Oh dear… the list goes on but I hope one day I will find my own Silvia.

I also promised Booker that I would get this up before the week was out and this was the only day of the week I could do it. Maybe once everything has settled down, I will repost with the pictures I wanted to put up.

"All the Pretty Faces"
In a lot of ways, Silvia reminds me of my best friend - she works with dead bodies, has tons of geek knowledge to spare, and is proud of her geek knowledge, which makes her adorkable IMO. But what I love most about Silvia is that, like my bestie, she wears her heart on her sleeve. Silvia does an excellent job of expressing herself without ever uttering a word - she can convey a variety of emotions with a simple smirk, or a raised eyebrow, or crossed eyes. She can tell an entire story just through her facial expressions, which, of course, is a testament to just how superb of an actress Marian Aguilera really is. And I like that, because it makes Silvia more real, more genuine. If she says something - good or bad, critical or uplifting, in anger or in happiness - you know she truly means it, because it's not just in the tone of her voice or the words coming from her mouth; it's written on her face.
One of my favorite Silvia moments is the frisking scene in Ep. 95. I know most people like that scene because of the hotness factor, which is definitely present (seriously, if anyone ever asks me what chemistry is, I'd point them to that scene). However, what I really love about that scene is the story that's being told through Silvia's facial expressions (and a few words). Pepa obviously takes her by surprise, but when Silvia makes a hint of a smile and gives a small sigh before closing her eyes briefly in resignation, it made me wonder whether PepSi played this little frisking game before. While Pepa is frisking her, her eyes are completely closed and her mouth is slightly open, giving the audience a sense of the lust Silvia's experiencing and how it's slowly building every time Pepa's hands move to a different area of her body. When she opens her eyes and lets out a small gasp just before Pepa grabs her ass, it looks like Silvia's trying to convince her mind not to give into what her body is definitely feeling. We see her attempt at self-control start to go out the window when Pepa's hand moves towards the front of her jeans, and Silvia's eyes open again and she simply utters, "Pepa," almost pleading with Pepa not to continue, because she knows she definitely won't be able to stop herself from reciprocating if Pepa proceeds. And as Pepa tells her that they're done talking because talking got them into the mess to begin with, from the look on Silvia's face, I doubt she was even paying attention at that point anymore. There's obviously no need to explain the passion plastered all over Silvia's face as they're making out, but in a span of 7 seconds (as Silvia's back hits the car), her face changes from passion, to confusion (as Pepa stops and looks at her breasts), to glee (when she finds out that Pepa was staring because she liked her bra), and finally, to slight amusement (when Pepa asks her where she bought the bra). Then, in my favorite moment of the whole scene, we see the focus on Silvia's face when Pepa pushes her head down and she grabs the buttons on Pepa's jeans change into total confusion 0.2 seconds later when Pepa swats her hands away. And of course we can't forget the inaudible "ahh!" Silvia wants to say when Curtis asks to speak to Pepa - she's definitely got a "you gotta be kidding me" expression on her face.
There's more parts to that scene - Silvia's expressions during and after Pepa's discussion with Curtis - but in that initial 2 minutes and 27 seconds, at least 12 emotions were conveyed almost entirely by the expressions on Silvia's face. And that's what I love most about Silvia: her ability to make you want to smile a million-watt smile just from seeing a glint of happiness in her eyes; her ability to make you vow never to disappoint her so that you never have to see her mouth droop in sadness or tears form in the corner of her eyes. Even when she's upset, her face is kind of beautiful, because the emotion on it is so raw, so real, that her anger stings you just from looking at her face. Come S9, I'm really going to miss all the pretty faces that Silvia could make, but I'm glad I got to see them many, many times before she left.

BOOKER'S LOVE LIST
How many ways can I say that I love Silvia? I have loved her from the very beginning of watching the PepSi episodes and I first wondered "who is she?"
Here are some obvious and simple reasons why I love Silvia:
I love her hair. I love it long and wild, I love it when she pulls it back when she is about to save San Antonio. But most of all, I love Pepa's hands in all of that red goodness.
She has the most kissable mouth in Spain. I love the way she pinches her lips, the way she half way grins and then dives into a huge smile.
She has the perfect body...so small and yet so strong. And it is also magical, as her scars keep appearing and disappearing. Her skin seems so soft and smooth, that it yearns to be stroked.
I love the way she scratches her nose. The way she raises her eyebrows. And more than anything else, the way her eyes tell the full story.
Those area the things I noticed when I first started watching, but we all know that Silvia is more than just a beautiful woman.
I love Silvia because she is loyal, smart, funny, stubborn, vulnerable and successful.
But most of all, I love the way that she loves Pepa.
How she was physically drawn to Pepa, how we saw her fall in love and the way she took Pepa's hand and trusted her.
Silvia shared her fears and we fell in love with her. She looked through a microscope and we wanted to be the slide she touched. She pulled back her hair and we wanted to kiss her neck. She cried, my god did she cry, and we just wanted to hold her.
Her body was meant to be held. She and Pepa fit together perfectly. So we love Silvia for not only who she was , but for how she brought out the best in Pepa.
Even at the end of her life, Silvia was in charge. She tried to save her own life and she lovingly and politely thanked Pepa and her father for trying to save her, knowing that her life was over. Silvia urged her father to sing a song from her past, that song was not just for her, but her wife and father. She knew they would need those words in the days ahead. She gave until the very end and ultimately, she chose to look at her Pepa. To give Pepa a final bit of love and to say goodbye.
And now it is our turn to do the same.

The Many Faces of Silvia Castro
When I was first told about this assignment, I was having a hard time narrowing down my reasons for loving this character. I love her because of her endearing neuroses, because of her intelligence and professional competence, because of her extreme love for and devotion to her family, and, finally, because of the progress she made in confronting her fears and insecurities before her untimely death. Not to mention she's drop dead gorgeous. But, for the purposes of this lecture, I thought I would focus on one of the things I love most about Silvia - her incredibly expressive face. Whether it was shock, happiness, acceptance, disgust, or extreme sadness, the emotion was always written there across her face, no words necessary.
I want to concentrate on my four favorite Silvia faces. I consider these looks to be “Classic” Silvia.
1. Disapproval/Disgust
Silvia is a pro at pulling this face, so much so that even Pepa called her out on her "puta cara de seta". Because Silvia has a tendency to be serious and judgmental, this particular face makes frequent appearances. Whenever people are not doing what she thinks they should, condemnation is quick to flash across her face...usually followed by anger, our little Silvia is a spitfire.
2. Shock/Incomprehension
It's easy to understand why this expression would appear a lot considering where and with whom Silvia works. With the wacky hijinks and pure madness that often occur in the world of LHDP, it's no wonder she sports a shocked face so much. Not helping matters is the fact that she got involved with one Pepa Miranda, a cabra loca, an impulsive woman who is anything but predictable. You'd think she would've become desensitized to all the insanity considering how often she was exposed to it, but no, the cops of San Antonio always find a new way to surprise.
3. Sadness/Despair
When Silvia Castro cries, I tear up, too. She is a consummate professional when it comes to her job, but her personal life has always been a bit of a, well, disaster. Though she had been described as "cold", nothing could be further from the truth. Silvia is a very emotional (some might even say unstable) person who sometimes couldn't stop the tears from flowing, for herself or for those she loved. Anytime her chin started to quiver, all I wanted was for someone to swoop in, give her a big hug, and tell her it would all be alright. Thankfully, Pepa finally showed up to do just that.
4. Love/Joy
My favorite face. Whereas the previous face could break your heart, this one can fill it with warmth. This one is my favorite because the best examples of it are found whenever she's looking at Pepa. Her face practically glows with happiness, and after the various tragedies she faced in her life, it's truly spectacular to see. No one who can express so much love with just one look on their face should ever be called "cold". And her joy is infectious...how could you not love this woman when a smile is stretched across her face and her eyes are shining? It's impossible, I tell you.
Bonus face: Silly
This face doesn't get shown very often, but when it does, you're reminded that under that "good girl, follow the rules" exterior is a playful, fun woman.
And here are a few random Silvia Faces that I feel shouldn’t be missed:
