Barrera de Amor - May 11 (lite)
I found this picture of the actress who plays Maite, Yadhira Carillo, on the Esmas web site. She looks an awful lot better as Maite than in her normal life.
I watched most of tonight's episode because I have to recap tomorrow and I knew it was going into the "next step." Actually, not a lot happened except for the passage of time.
The three young girls in the novela: Valeria, Veronica and Juanita - all get sent to a Catholic school in "Canada," city unspecified but it looked like Montreal. They appear to mostly study ballet and a little psychology. They grow up to be very nice looking girls, especially Veronica who was a very unattractive child.
Unibrow's boys: Daniel & Andres inherit their father's heavy brows. What a disappointment! One of them wants to be a bull fighter but Unibrow is against it. Gordo buys the land from Jacinta on which Adolfo had planted grapevines. Maite stops wearing a bandeau! She appears to still have a platonic relationship with Victor. I guess women who are holding the torch for their true loves don't get to have sex but their men do. Nice double standard.
Federico gets to sit down in the presence of Jacinta and live in the big house! Remedios is rather put out when Jacinta reminds her that she is still only a servant.
For her psychology project, either Valeria or Juanita is going to study multiple personality disorder. Just hearing about this, Veronica goes into a fugue state. Later we see her other two personalities: Vera, the slut and Violeta, the timid one. Finally, Maite finds the letter in one of Veronica's old dolls that Magdalena wrote to Adolfo about their child.

Victor and Maite looked very chummy together. Don't you think we're supposed to think they are, like, shacked up together? In which case, are they going to have to kill Victor, too, in order for Maite to end up with Unibrow? Victor is better! Oh, it's all so dreary.
By the time Maite and Unibrow hook up it will be a senior citizen romance. Maybe it's not going to happen and we will be focusing now on the new batch of characters. I'd like to say this brings hope for the future, but unless new writers come with these new characters I'm not very optomistic.

Very nice of you to recap Jean, Thanks!
I think last night they gave us a hint that Victor might be gay. Maite and Victor were at the table exchanging compliments,when Maite said she accepted him for who he was. Something fishy is going on there, was it a hint? Maybe. I'm still not sure. I forget who said Victor was gay earlier, but I think you are on the right track.
Jacinta and Federico are two peas in a pod, aren't they! It made me laugh when Janicita told Federico he could smoke then she waved her papers crazily as he tried to blow the smoke the other way. Funny scene.
I'm glad you guys are still plugging away, even though this novela is crap.
