The article interprets comments made by Spanish fans of the series about the reactions and behaviours of the leading couple. We found that fan forum participants evaluate the couple’s behaviour according to gender stereotypes. They justify the male character’s aggressive behaviour towards the female character and blame her for her mistreatment. Based on the analysis results, we reflect on the perpetuation of myths that justify violence in romantic relationships.This work was supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain with a doctoral grant –code BES-2011–045450–.SAGE Publications20182018info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10230/33783http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1103308817748432reponame:Repositorio Digital de la UPFinstname:Universitat Pompeu FabraInglésYoung. 2018 Jan 23;26(4):96-112.info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/3PN/BES2011-045450The final, definitive version of this paper has been published in Young, 2018 by SAGE Publications Ltd, All rights reserved. © 2018 Sage Publications and YOUNG Editorial Groupinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:repositori.upf.edu:10230/337832026-06-12T07:21:37Z
