As requested by the Boss and the crowd at AE, here's the translation of the article in Vale magazine into English. I have tried my best although the original has made me want to double cry :(

The World Asks for Silvia's Resurrection

After Lucas and Sara’s, Silvia and Pepa’s romantic love story was very moving. Now, after Silvia’s death, the whole world is campaigning for the character's resurrection. Long Live PepSi!

Love does not understand of age, colour or gender borders… Lucas and Sara, Rita and Povedilla, Paco and Lola… We were moved by all the romantic stories from LHDP and we have have fallen in love with each one of them. But, no doubt Silvia and Pepa’s especially written relationship made it to our hearts. Unfortunately, after Silvia’s (Marian Aguilera) tragic death on day of her wedding to Pepa (Laura Sánchez), we were all rather depressed. Now, an international campaign through the Internet is asking for Silvia's resurrection and return to he show! Find out all details here!

Pepa and Silvia (better known as Pepsi) made us love their tenderness, their secrets, their eternal love declarations with their lust-filled looks, their future plans, their hot sexy times…

Their love story was so beautiful and their love became so strong that their romance crossed all borders and became famous worldwide! The couple reached countries like the United States, Brazil, Taiwan, New Zealand, and Sweden, so quickly the Pepsi fan base, and the LHDP fan base, began to grow through the Internet with forums, blogs, websites… Even a Youtube channel – Pepsienglish – with videos of the couple for the international fans to follow what they were up to… The adventures and misadventures of Paco… and his women!

However, to be able to reach a larger number of fans without “interferences”, the uploaded scenes have subtitles in English, French or German, so no one would miss a detail of the romance between Silvia and Pepa. It was about time! Finally a series showing a lesbian plot from the romantic and tender point of view! That’s the reason why, after Silvia’s sudden death on their wedding day, the staunch Pepsi admirers began a campaign to for the character's resurrection! “Don’t kill Silvia!”, “Silvia rules” or “Silvia forever” were some of the messages in a video (see pics below) on the Internet, which is part of an unprecedented mobilization to save the character and bring back her love story with Pepa.

Unfortunately, the new episodes of “Los hombres de Paco” (which will be back on TV in January) will not include Silvia, shattering to

What’s going to happen now? 
The Pacos” have already started filming the new episodes [Translator: 13^th Oct, according to what LS said], so the doubt that’s building is, what’s gonna happen now? How is Pepa gonna face life without her love? Even though the memory of Silvia will be always with her, we hope Paco’s sister manages to get her happiness back and she gets new moving story lines.

LONG LIVE Pepsi!

But that’s not it. Other than videos, emails and letters, the creators behind the “Save Silvia Campaign” have also published a letter on El País, thanking Marian Aguilera and Laura Sánchez for their roles in the show: “We run out of words to express the emotional impact that Silvia, Pepa and their love story had in our lives. Actually, Pepsi stand out above the rest of women in love because their story is unique, realistic and positive […] We feel that their magnificent, honest and realistic love story is a gift that got to our hearts, and it will always be a part of our lives […]”.

After this, we can only shout: LONG LIVE Pepsi!

PINK BIT
After all the disastrous love stories that Silvia had had, the forensics doctor of San Antonio had lost all her hopes to find true love. Even so, the young doctor could not imagine what destiny had reserved for her.

And her true love came along…

She had married Lucas and had an affair with Montoya, but, no doubt, Silvia’s true love was Pepa. When she found out that Paco’s sister was back, her face lit.

Little by little, the doctor realized that what linked her to Pepa was more than just friendship. She loved her. But love is never easy, so even if they were madly in love with each other, they had to overcome many obstacles. When the initial fears of how they felt about each other were over and done with, Pepsi had to face more complicated relationship issues, like fear of commitment and their different views on motherhood. Things got worse when Pepa made out with Aitor, so the couple decided to give themselves a break – a time in their lives when they went through really tense and awkward moments.

But one day, the slight touch of their hands brought them back to reality: they loved each other, so love triumphed over fears and Pepsi got their story back… as hot as ever!! After that, both the proposal and the wedding came along. And they swore to love each other until death parted them [Translator: holy monkeys, it was a quick promise!!]
