Il Paradiso delle Signore has consistently been one of RAI’s most beloved narratives, yet a recent announcement has left fans utterly dismayed: a new time jump for the upcoming Season 10. This popular series, cherished by a vast audience eagerly awaiting each new development, has always captivated viewers with its compelling storylines centered around the characters of the department store—from the beloved “Venuses” to the most influential and affluent figures. Their tales of love and romance have been a cornerstone of the show, and after the grand finale of Season 9, anticipation for the tenth chapter was at an all-time high.

However, the news of this new time jump has significantly dampened spirits. This decision has sparked a mix of confirmation and denial regarding its implications for the new season of Il Paradiso delle Signore. While the show’s success in Season 9 was undeniable, the shift for Chapter 10 has unfortunately led to fan disappointment, especially concerning the absence of a highly cherished character.

From initial previews of the new season, it appears some characters will remain, while others will depart. Confirmed to stay are Odile di Sant’Erasmo and Matteo Portelli, ensuring that viewers will continue to witness the unfolding of their love story, which blossomed beautifully at the end of the previous chapter. However, their relationship will face obstacles, particularly due to the persistent interest from Marina Valli.

Yet, the biggest blow for fans is the news that Maria Puglisi, portrayed by the talented Chiara Russo, will not be returning for the new season. The character has decided to remain in Paris, a choice made shortly after the conclusion of her relationship with Matteo Portelli. Despite Maria’s departure, the rest of the Puglisi family—her parents, Ciro and Concetta, and her sister Agatha—are confirmed to remain, which was the only positive outcome regarding her relationship with Mino Burgio.

Other key characters confirmed for Il Paradiso delle Signore 10 include Countess Adelaide di Sant’Erasmo, played by Vanessa Gravina, and Umberto Guarnieri, portrayed by Roberto Farnesi. New episodes of the upcoming season are slated to begin airing in September. In the meantime, viewers can bridge the gap with the new Spanish soap opera, Return to Sabina, which is scheduled for the summer.
