History YMMV / CableGirls

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Elisa (in season 2), sick of being treated like a fragile, invalid child by her family, [[TookALevelInBadass finally plays the same game that everyone else is playing]] (negotiating with favours for favours/backstabbing) to escape to mother's plan to have her locked up in a sanitarium for the rest of her life.

** Does Marisol really love Pablo or is she just desperate to be married to avoid becoming a ChristmasCake?

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Francisco really love Alba/Lidia, or is he just nostalgic for the simpler days they spent together as optimistic teenagers? And does ''Carlos'' really love Alba/Lidia, or does he just see her as a means for rebelling against his wealthy, upper-class family?

* MoralEventHorizon: Mario [[spoiler: beating up his wife Ángeles so badly that she miscarries what would have been their second child.]]tee
** Doña Carmen [[spoiler: arranging for Lidia to be kidnapped and forced to have an abortion. It's Doña Carmen's own grandchild that she wants aborted, to boot, because Lidia's not of the right social class to marry her son Carlos.]]
* TearJerker: Ángeles [[spoiler: losing her second baby]] and the increasing hopelessness of her situation as every attempt she makes to get away from Mario fails. [[spoiler: Eventually, she has to kill him, with the help of her friends.]]

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: The farewell between the girls right before Ángeles's [[spoiler: unsuccessful]] escape attempt. Ángeles tearfully tells them how glad she is that they were all late for the telephone operator entrance exam, because she got to meet them. Awwwww.
** Pablo and Marga's obvious, devoted love for each other.
* JerkassWoobie: Lidia/Alba. She's a manipulative schemer and ConsummateLiar, but she's being blackmailed for a crime she didn't commit, and she's had to lie and scheme for years to survive, since all her hopes for a safe, respectable life in Madrid were crushed as soon as she arrived.

* TheWoobie: Ángeles, an abused wife in season 1 who spends all of season 2 [[spoiler: covering up her abusive husband's death and being mentally manipulated to the point of near insanity by the cop she's having an affair with.]] Elisa as well. When her husband's not ignoring her, her family's belittling her and making plans behind her back to have her locked up.

** [[DarkAndTroubledPast Lidia's backstory]] is also quite sad. She started off as [[NaiveNewcomer an optimistic, starry-eyed teenager]] bound for a new life and a new start with her boyfriend in Madrid. But then a misunderstanding led to her arrest, her separation from Francisco, her recruitment by a brothel keeper, and then many years of having to lie, cheat, and seduce men for her survival. Then, at the ''very beginning'' of the series, her OnlyFriend gets murdered, and she gets arrested for it and blackmailed. Yikes.

* CompleteMonster: Mario, hands down. He's by far the cruelest and most violent character on the show, and the only time he shows even the tiniest bit of remorse for his actions is when [[spoiler: Ángeles miscarries their baby. And he only cares because it was his potential child/property that was lost. He has no concern for his wife's well-being at all.]]
