Here is what Selena says about being on the Novela

You are also working in the movies and TV.

"First of all. I don't consider myself an actress. I did Dos Mujeres, un Camino (a Spanish-language soap opera starring Eric Estrada)"

How'd you get that gig?

"Originally, I was supposed to come out with the band singing. But it didn't turn out that way. When we got there, they said, 'we'll come for you all later." So I went with them. It struck me kind of odd. I mean, why did they leave the band there. They didn't tell me I was actually going to be saying any lines. And they said, 'well, you're going to put this on." So I said, "what am I going to do?" and they said, "your going to be doing a little acting. You're going to say a couple of lines." I was like, "Wait a minute. Nobody ever sent the script to memorize anything." I was having a major cow, because I was there by myself. My father wasn't there. Nobody was there. And I said to them, "I don't think this is wise. I don't know what I am doing. I've never acted before in my life." And they said, "you'll do fine. Just put the ear monitor on and repeat what the guy says." And I was like, "Oh my God! I can't believe this." I was nervous. One because, I am around people who have been doing this for years and are experienced. And here I was, a nobody, coming in and actually trying to act."

Selena, you are not a nobody.

"You know what I mean (laughs). I have no experience in acting. The guy started talking to my ear, telling me my lines. And I was huh? I was so nervous. And then, I find out that they want me to play Ramiro's girlfriend, then they wanted me to kiss him. Oh my God, I was having a major, major cow. I was so nervous. It came out OK. I think I could have done better. Anyway, maybe that little bit of experience helped. Because people from this movie, Don Juan De Marco, starting Marlon Brando, Faye Dunaway, and Johnny Depp, called and said, "we're looking for a mariachi singer in your company, do you have one?" and they said, "no but we have a singer who's done a little acting and won a Grammy, blah, blah, we'll send you a bio." And boom. They called and said, "She's got the part." It's not a very big part. I come out singing in a restaurant which is Don Juan's hangout and in one of the scenes I serenade Marlon Brando and Faye Dunaway. You see me in the background, and then there's a close up of me singing."

So this is what happens in the story,

Selena is entering the rodeo and Romero bumps into her. They share a flurtashis smile. Then later Ramero finds her and woos her. He invites her watch the rodeo with him. While on their way to their sites Lupe's (another Bronco) girlfriend asks Selena about herself. Then Selena and her make a bet that each of their boyfriends can stay on the bull longer. So Lupe goes first and then Romero, Romero falls of and Selena leaps over the hand rail and runs to his aid. Later they go off to eat and then some guy runs in and they go over to where the Bronco's band equipment is. Some one has put some drugs under the drummers drums and the cops want to take Bronco away. This causes a problem for the rodeo because they have a concert scheduled that night called El Rodeo De Media Noche. After the concert Romero and Bronco return and everyone lives happily ever after.
