The Pablo show has just entered it's 29th season, and we here at Entertainment Weekly España sat down with the headwriter for our annual conversation. We know it's a few days late, but there's a good reason.
EWE: So...first off...what a guest star to open up the 29th season. Lady Gaga herself. How'd you land that one?
HW: Well, Lady Gaga loves her gays, so she was quite happy to oblige. She responded to our constant tweets in May to do a concert in Madrid on 12/12, and it worked. The "Happy birthday" though? That was unexpected. And totally f...ing awesome, as Gaga herself would say.
EWE: So in season 28, we saw some pretty awesome highs and pretty downright horrible lows. Highs were June, July and December. The show went on location to Rome, Zaragoza, Avila, Aranjuez, País vasco, Hendaya in France, Alcala de Henares, Salamanca, Mallorca, Valencia two times (before you relocated there), Santander, Gran Canarias...and a very special two weeks in Daimiel where you arranged for Spain to win the World Cup.
HW: You act as if we wrote the World Cup win. Sometimes real life events just help us write. And oh, might I add, 5-0 Barça?
EWE: Go right ahead. It never gets old. 5-0 Barça!
HW: 5-0 Barça!
EWE: 5-0 Barça!
HW: Where were we?
EWE: 28th year in review....
HW: Oh yeah. But there were some pretty damn low lows. Like the entire month of May...getting fired and finding out that crush was once again unrequited.
EWE: What was that about? We want you to cast the principe azul already.
HW: It's going to be a HORRIBLY DIFFICULT role to cast. I know we're getting repetitious with the unrequited love bit. We're taking our time.
EWE: We've waited 28 seasons...do it in the 29th already!
HW: Let's hope. And look at what we did do! The victory of getting accepted into grad school, the acceptance of real life and taking the job to try to save up for the masters, which now is impossible because of the refusal to pay for a job well done...
EWE: So do we have any spoilers for season 29? Another relocation perhaps?
HW: Depending on master's and jobs, there could possibly be a move back to Madrid or we may even leave Spain and go to Catalunya.
EWE: You just did NOT go there.
HW: Oh I did.
EWE: And holidays?
HW: Well, we have Christmas in País vasco planned...the journey to step foot in all 17 autonomous communities is on fire. We've gone to 12, and this trip will hit up Navarra and La Rioja. And there's some trip to Tenerife planned in February if all goes well. We're hoping for Greece for Semana Santa, but that's still a pipe dream.
EWE: Sounds pretty awesome.
HW: We'll also see Pablo learning catalan, er, I mean, valenciano.
EWE: Right.
HW: They're distinct, you know. In catalan, it's sortida. In valenciano, it's eixida. In catalan, they would NEVER say "mone."
EWE: Right.
HW: Muy distintos.
EWE: Right.
HW: And we hope to bring you a 7-0 Barça win.
EWE: Oh that would be lovely!
HW: And True Blood, Gossip Girl, United States of Tara and Felicity Huffman obsessions to continue, of course. Pablo will be attending rehab so he can quit Fisica o quimica.
EWE: That's some GREAT news.
HW: It is.
EWE: Thanks again for the interview. Enhorabuena en temporada 29. Will there be a 30th?
HW: No, we're just going to repeat the 29th season renewal every year for a few years like it's a bucle of Fisica o quimica.
