La Fea Más Bella #290 6/5/07 Love stinks

Sorry guys, my cable went out so I had to do this sans subtitles and without my DVR so I couldn't review, rewind or pause. Please feel free to correct my mistakes!

So what will be PM’s answer? For once PM is left speechless. Lety helps her by interrupting. After a weird little exchange with Lety, PM excitedly accepts Saimon’s proposal. Everyone cheers. Yay!!! Saimon spins PM in excitement. He asks her again if she’s going to marry him. When PM says yes a second time, Saimon gracefully passes out. Celso and Fernando rush to aid the ailing Saimon. Lopez thinks that Celso should give mouth-to-mouth. Fortunately, Fernando and Celso are able to pull Saimon to his feet without the need for any first aid. Fernando turns to Lety and says that he would faint too. Lety smiles and says that she would as well. They realize what they’re saying (and that Lety did not pass out when Aldo proposed) and quickly look away from each other. Fernando returns to Lety’s side and everyone applauds the newly engaged couple.

In Puerto Vallarta Aldo continues his re-connection with the sea and his new connection with Carmina. He and Carmina have a waiter take a picture of the two of them. They look awfully cozy! They tell each other what a pleasure it has been to be acquainted with one another. After the toast, Carmina wants to make sure that doesn’t wrongly interpret her reasons for showing up at Puerto Vallarta. She understands that he loves Lety, that he’s going to marry her. Carmina wants to support Aldo because she wants to see him happy. Was one of the writers on vacation that day and they had to recycle some of Fernando’s lines? They toast. They need to hurry so they don’t arrive late to the airport.

Alicia primps herself in the bathroom and mulls over the incident from the night before. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we get to suffer a mini recap of the Tommy/Alicia affair from the night before. Alicia laughs and snorts. She catches herself snorting and stops short. She tells herself to stop thinking about last night.

Saimon and PM are in full love swing. They kiss in the Vortex. Juana wants to know when the wedding will be. Saimon has PM answer. PM wants to have the wedding as soon as possible. Everyone cheers. Lola thinks they should hurry because time can be short. Saimon assures the cuartel that he and PM will never separate. The phone rings; it’s for PM and it’s her baby daddy. Saimon is impactado!

Jacks sits in Lety’s office and announces that he has good news. Fernando hopes that Jacks means that everything is ready for the show. First, Jacks decides to apologize for Aurora’s disappearance. He claims that it was his idea. Both Lety and Fernando pretend to be surprised by this. Jacks explains his little scheme to create a scandal that would surround the show. Lety and Fernando applaud him. They both tell Jack that they liked the idea. Jacks says that the results were good, especially considering the romance between Aurora and Fernando Mendiola. Lety looks uncomfortable and Fernando sarcastically replies. Jacks points out that they should be familiar with these tricks. Lety still looks uncomfortable. Fernando says that he and Lety are also experts at deceit…no lying. Lety looks even more uncomfortable. She half heartedly agrees. Fernando points out that they do it all the time. Jacks says that what bothers him now is that Aurora was only supposed to disappear for a couple of days. Now it appears that she’s gone for good and can not be found anywhere. Fernando laughs, finding it funny how Jacks plan has backfired. Lety nervously laughs along.

Saimon looks on nervously as PM talks to baby daddy. We can hear PM saying that she needs to think about it. Once she hangs up, PM announces that Jaimito’s father wants her and Jaimito to go to Los Angeles to live with him.

Sara attempts to console Saimon while Juana questions PM. PM says she doesn’t know. Baby daddy has a lot of money and give them a life of luxury. He wants to get to know Jaimito, raise him and give him a good education. Saimon approaches PM, but they both seem a little lost for words. Lola wisely advises PM to ask Jaimito his opinion about this. PM says that she doesn’t know what to do. Saimon somehow manages to tell PM to think about it. If she decides to go, then… Saimon leaves before he can finish his sentence. PM chases after him, but he just repeats that she needs to think. Saimon leaves the vortex and a teary eyed PM. The cuartel surrounds PM to comfort her.

Jacks doesn’t like Lety’s and Fernando’s attitude. Lety assures him that they’re taking it seriously. Fernando goes so far as to say that they’ll fix the problem. Jacks thinks that if Aurora doesn’t reappear, then the program is ruined. Fernando doesn’t think so. He tells Jacks that he is a creative genius. If the campaign is right, the program can be a success with or without Aurora. Lety agrees, but Jacks doesn’t buy it. He needs to find Aurora! Lety passes out. Fernando says this is because of the eardrum. (huh? timpano? anyone?) Fernando agrees with Jacks. They must find Aurora. Lety wakes up to hear Fernando repeating that Jacks is a great creator. Jacks thanks them both and leaves.

Fernando appears to be pretty pleased with himself. He goes to the other side of the desk and sits in the chair formerly occupied by Jacks. Lety wants to know why Fernando seems so excited. He stumbles a bit but spits out that she knows that Lety and he will solve this problem with or without Aurora. What was even better was Jacks face when Fernando pointed out that the plan had backfired. Fernando gets serious and says that they don’t need to worry about Aurora because they don’t need her. Lety’s worried about Conceptos’ debt. Fernando replies that there are more important things. Lety looks at him whimsically. Fernando excuses himself. Lety not so subtly watches him walk to his office.

Fernando enters the cave and says to himself “important things like your wedding with Aldo.” Fernando knows that Lety is hurting because she thinks Aldo deceived her. Fernando makes a motion like he’s saying that he will zip his lips.

Tomas happily goes over some documents in his office. Alicia enters and feigns beginning upset. Alicia lies and tells Tommy that because they slept together last night, her doctor says they’re going to lose all the benefit from the treatments. Her doctor also said that in order for her to get pregnant, she and Tommy cannot have relations for three months. Alicia asks Tomas if he now understands why she didn’t want to the night before. Tomas can only focus on the fact that they can’t be together for three months.

Luigi’s in Lety’s office looking over an empty folder. My bad, he has one paper in there. It’s something about family. The paper talks about positive family structure. Luigi stands and declares that families need to support the decisions of their children. It’s not worth it to not respect the decisions of the children. Fernando shuffles over to Luigi and asks if he’s okay. Luigi replies that the campaign has personally affected him. He wants to do better than he’s able. Lety says she doesn’t doubt this, but she can tell it’s really affecting Luigi. Luigi bails out and says that it affects him because he’s a professional. He just wants to make sure the day is a success. He hurriedly excuses himself and exits the office.

PM’s still in anguish over the decision she has to make. Sara asks how baby daddy found PM. She explains that he called her parents and they gave him Conceptos’ number. Juana asks if the man really has a lot of money. PM says that he does. This, of course, starts a debate among the cuartel members about PM’s pending decision.

Aldo returns from Puerto Vallarta and heads immediately to the Padilla household. He greets the family and then pardons himself for not announcing earlier that he was coming. Erasmo won’t have it. He’s told Aldo many times that Aldo is a member of the family. Aldo tells the family that he has some surprises. He opens a laptop. Everyone crowds around it. He has photos of all the yachts he saw. Lety doesn’t look excited and the computer isn’t either. It doesn’t want to open the file. Julieta and Erasmo are blown away by the yachts, but Lety looks bored.

At Niza restaurant Saimon, Fernando and Omar toast. Saimon effusively thanks his brothers for being there with him. Fernando, who hasn’t had a drop of alcohol in quite a few months, looks ready to drop after the first shot. Fernando doesn’t think it’s a good idea to get drunk, but Omar and Saimon want a way to pass the time. Saimon orders three double tequilas. Fernando doesn’t want to be included, but Saimon begs. Saimon and Omar point out that they were there when Fernando had problems with Lety. Fernando doesn’t hold out for long and agrees to join the “fun.” Omar and Saimon practically jump on Fernando. The three men toast to the tragedy that’s unfolding and take another shot.

PM tells Jaimito that she has something she needs to discuss with her. He asks if it’s good or bad news. She says that she doesn’t know. She asks him if he would like to get to know his father. PM explains that Baby Daddy called and wants them to go live with him. Jaimito replies that the only thing he wants is to be with PM. They hug.

Fernando appears to be the most lucid of the three despite not having drank for quite some time. He tries to reassure Saimon but Omar interrupts with some unintelligible sentences about Saimon listening to Fernando and being more of a macho. Fernando thinks that if PM decides to leave then Saimon needs to support that decision. The men don’t like this idea. Fernando couldn’t forget about Lety! Fernando sits on his stool and laments the sadness of life. Omar says that he’s falling. He then proceeds to fall of his stool. The only thing that Saimon can say is “Careful”!

Aldo shows the Padillas a particularly large yacht. He asks Lety if she likes it. Then he takes her hand and says that is the location of their wedding. Lety looks less than enthused. Erasmo asks to see more pictures of the yachts. Aldo happily obliges. They see one that that no one likes. Next comes the picture of Carmina and Aldo in the restaurant. This all of a sudden has Lety’s attention. Although, she still seems a little apathetic no? Erasmo demands to know who is the woman in the picture. What does that picture mean? Is Aldo making fun of the Padillas?

Lety tells Erasmo that it’s none of his business. Erasmo says that of course it’s his business. He’s looking at Lety’s fiancée with another woman! Lety unenthusiastically says that she saw it too. Julieta, forever the peacemaker, thinks they should give Aldo an opportunity to explain. Erasmo would like nothing less then a very good explanation. Aldo quickly explains that he’s currently working with Carmina. Her father had a yacht that they could use, but the yacht was too small. She helped him find other options. Finally, Lety reacts and she’s pissed. Erasmo thinks that the explanation was satisfactory. Aldo asks for a moment to speak with Lety. Erasmo thinks this is very important. He seats himself at the head of the table and tells Julieta to serve them all coffee. Julieta pulls Erasmo from the table and says that Aldo wants to talk alone with Lety. Erasmo thinks they should stay because Lety is very angry. Julieta disagrees. Once they leave, Lety stands and gives it to Aldo. She thought he was going alone. He said that Carmina was not going with him. Aldo just looks back at Lety without saying a word.

PM discusses her problem with Lola. PM doesn’t want to go and she doesn’t want to hear anything from Lola about living with Jaimito’s father. He abandoned her when he found out she was pregnant! PM says that Jaimito’s face was so excited when she spoke of his father. Lola points out that to be a mother means sacrifice.

Jaimito and Lola’s children discuss Jaimito’s pending trip to the United States. He’ll be able to buy what he wants, but he’ll have to learn English! Jaimito tells them that he doesn’t want to go. He doesn’t want that father. Jaimito doesn’t know him. He wants Saimon. Lola’s son points out that Saimon is poor, but Jaimito doesn’t care. Lola’s kids think Jaimito should tell his mother that he doesn’t want to go. Jaimito doesn’t want to because he thinks that his mom wants to go to the US so they can have their own house and not suffer for money. Jaimito asks Lola’s kids not to say anything about him not wanting to go.

In the living room, PM asks the same of Lola. Lola agrees, but she worries about Saimon. PM begins to cry and says that she hopes he finds another woman who makes him happy. She will never want anyone else. Lola consoles desolate PM.

Erasmo and Julieta hang out in their bedroom. Erasmo doesn’t want to stay up there with arms crossed. He accuses Julieta of wanting Lety to cancel her engagement with Aldo. Julieta gets in his face and says that she doesn’t want to see Lety and Aldo fight. She wants Lety to be able to solve her own problems without Julieta and Erasmo interfering. Erasmo says he’s going downstairs, but Julieta won’t have it. She demands that he comes to her. Erasmo says that she’s never yelled at him. She says that if he insists in going downstairs, she’s not just going to yell at him. Julieta forces Erasmo to sit on the bed.

Aldo wants to know how many times he needs to say that he didn’t know that Carmina would be in Vallarta. Lety sarcastically replies that he must have been so happy when she magically appeared and they went scuba diving and to dinner. Aldo replies that he was not happy. He was uncomfortable with Carmina there. Aldo says he did nothing from which he needs to repent. Lety says that she won’t marry on that yacht. She would rather marry in a submarine Lety tells Aldo that he, Carmina and their yacht can just leave. Aldo says that he’s going home and he’ll speak with Lety tomorrow when she’s calmed. Aldo quietly says that he loves her. “Sure,” Lety replies.

Fernando, still lucid, leads Omar and Saimon down the steps from the restaurant. He asks Saimon if he will be okay. Saimon launches into a diatribe about losing the love of his life. Fernando corrects himself and says that he meant to ask if Saimon would be okay to get home. Saimon points out that he doesn’t have his moto. Omar says something else unintelligible. The men teeter on the verge of falling down the stairs. Fernando interprets. They don’t have transportation either. Fernando lets go of Omar and tells him not to fall. Fernando reaches into his pocket. Saimon falls. Fernando and Omar have to help him stand. Fernando tries to get the men to stop talking. He tells Saimon to find his equilibrium because Fernando needs to get out the money for the taxi. Saimon drunkenly says that he cannot accept, then he starts to cry about losing PM. Fernando interprets for Omar who says that he completely understands because he too is suffering, for Carolina. Fernando’s attempts to keep the men standing fail. Luckily they fall to the side and not to the front.

****This was cut out of the US version, but I like it so much that I’ll re-cap it anyway and give you guys the video on youbtube.****


Lety sits in her bedroom and watches a commercial for Juan Querendon. She thinks the novela looks like it will be good. Lety falls asleep and has a dream about her and Juan dancing alone in a white room. Aldo and Fernando interrupt the dance. Juan explains that he’s teaching his Lety to dance. The men all greet each other. Juan backs out of the room and gives Lety a kiss on the cheek. Aldo and Fernando lead Juan out of the room and down the hallway.

Julieta wakes Lety from her dream. It’s time for Lety to go to the office. Lety tells her mom that she had a strange dream. She dreamed about Juan Querendon. Lety explains the dream. They talk about how handsome and nice Juan is.

****End****

Fernando sits with Marcia in their apartment and reads the letter she was sent. Fernando talks about the writing in the letter, but Marcia wants his opinion about the content. Fernando says that the world is full of crazy people and they have no idea about this guys intentions. This guy should show up in person at Conceptos and invite her out. Marcia defends her mystery man and says that maybe he’s shy. Fernando still thinks that the guy is a crazy. He tells Marcia to have Celso escort her to and from the car. Marcia agrees, sort of.

Saimon nervously enters PM’s home. He asks for news. PM says that she made an important decision yesterday. Saimon says that she did. She decided to marry him, to be like Romeo and Juliet. PM impatiently stomps her foot and says that they ended up dead. Saimon points out that they were very happy before they died. PM begins to cry. She says that the best thing for Jaimito is for him to be with his father. Saimon begs PM not to do this to him. He loves Jaimito! PM begs Saimon to understand; she’s doing it for her son. Saimon says that he loves Jaimito like a son. PM asks Saimon to not make it harder and to accept it. She and Jaimito are going to Los Angeles.

Lety sits in her office and cries. Fernando enters and asks how she’s doing. He can immediately tell that something is wrong and that it has to do with Aldo. Lety tries to pretend that she didn’t fight with Aldo, but Fernando says that she can’t lie to him. She’s made at Aldo because of a woman. Lety turns to Fernando and says “Don Fernando.” Fernando figures out that he was right. Aldo deceived Lety and went to Vallarta with Carmina. He asks Lety if that’s the truth. Lety says that it is. Fernando stands and quickly leaves. Lety says to herself that she’s very unhappy.

Aldo stands in his office and looks out his window. He wonders if Lety has calmed. He debates going to see her or calling her. Fernando enters the office, leaps onto Aldo’s desk and begins to choke Aldo. Aldo flings Fernando off the desk. Fernando runs over to the boat and picks it up. This prevents Aldo from charging. Fernando tosses the boat to Aldo. He tells Aldo that Lety found out that Aldo went to Vallarta with Carmina. Fernando again begins to choke Aldo. Aldo shakes Fernando off and the fight comes to blows. The men push each other back and forth around the office.

In the Vortex, Lola announces to the cuartel that PM has told Saimon that she’s going to Los Angeles. The cuartel discuss this for a moment, but they overhear the fight going on in Aldo’s office. Sara comes running into the Vortex and announces that Fernando and Aldo are killing each other. The cuartel rushes.

Fernando and Aldo finally get to act out their wishes that the other would choke to death. They’ve fallen to the floor, but they’re still trying to suffocate one another. Fernando accuses Aldo of being like all men. “Like you, idiot?” Aldo replies. Fernando looks p-i-s-s-e-d!

Lety is working in her office. The cuartel comes charging in and tells her about the fight in Aldo’s office. After some mindless discussion, Lety and the cuartel rush to Aldo’s office.

It’s back to a fistfight. Aldo kicks at Fernando and says that he loves Lety like no one ever has, even Fernando. Fernando grabs Aldo’s neck and says that he loves Lety a lot more than Aldo. This debate continues when the cuartel enters. The men start to kick at each other. Lety’s had it; she steps between the men and tells them to calm. Fernando explains that he was defending Lety. Aldo accuses Fernando of wanting to use this situation to get back together with Lety. Fernando says that he doesn’t want to be with Lety. He takes it back when the cuartel reacts. Fernando says that Aldo should respect Lety’s decisions. Aldo says he’s the best thing for Lety. The men surround Lety and try to fight. Lety breaks them apart again and yells at them for wanting to solve everything by fighting. Martha interjects her opinion that she can’t believe Lety’s scolding two men who are fighting over her. Both men beg forgiveness from Lety. She pulls them away and says that if they want to, the two men can kill each other. The men begin to fight again, but this time Irmita interrupts. They break apart. Fernando announces that Aldo deceived Lety. Sara confronts Aldo. Aldo says that he didn’t deceive Lety. Fernando wants to know why she was crying in her office. Aldo asks the cuartel to leave the office so that he may talk to Fernando. Juana shouts that there is a God. Aldo replies that he knows Him personally. The cuartel leaves and the men go on there arm. Fernando distracts Aldo by pretending that Aldo’s about to knock over his boat.

Lety paces in her office and tries to calm herself. The cuartel comes in again. They want to know if Aldo really did deceived her. They ask her what she’s going to do. Lety replies that she’s going to suspend her wedding with Aldo.

For Wednesday:

Is the wedding really off?
Will Fernando win back his Lety?
Is PM really going to leave Saimon?

Comments:
Wow, that was quick, Amanda. I just logged on to check out the rest of the comments on Monday’s show. I sure don’t think you missed anything, but I probably know the least Spanish of any viewer. Omar was too funny acting drunk. Saimon kind of annoyed me. IMO his character is good in small doses only. Don’t buy that Aldo was uncomfortable with Carmina. He has even been checking her out. 2 things about the fight bothered me:
1.When Fern correctly guessed why Lety was crying, they had a moment of eye contact, he looked pissed and stormed off. There is no way she did not know what he was going to do. So I thought to myself, she wants Fern to go fight Aldo. And I thought that was kind of exciting. Then they have her acting all shocked when she sees them fighting. So, is this bad writing,editing,etc. OR is Lety really enjoying the fact that these 2 guys are fighting over her?
2.Yes, we know Fern and Aldo want to choke each other. But this just was not funny to me. (Anyone else feel that way?) I think I did not find it funny because we have seen the choking, kicking, slapping between these 2 before. As far as I am concerned, now that we are this close to the end, don’t even go there with the fighting unless you are going to have Fern deliver the knockdown punch.

Teresa
 

Thanks for the recap Amanda. You were both quick and accurate as far as I could see but don't quote me as I am not fluent in Spanish.

I agree with you Teresa. Lety had to know Fernie was going to attack Aldo for making her cry. Why act shocked later? The boys fighting is old. Let's move on to something new - we know they hate one another.

Omar is a cutie drunk but then he's a cutie most of the time (I try to ignore when he's being a weenie and still calls Lety names). Though I vacillate on the point of (and manipulation of others with the )Aurora thing, it will be fun seeing his shock when he finds out Aurora is Lety.

Karen
 

That's interesting that Lety's dream was cut out of the U.S version. Loved seeing Omar and Saimon so drunk. Jaime was having a hard time keeping a straight face throughtout those scenes. Seeing Aldo and Fernando fighting is getting old and Lety had to have known that Fernando was going to go after Aldo for hurting her.
 

With only another week or so to go, there are a lot of loose ends to tie up. I want to know Alicia's story with her Papi. Also everyone will undoubtedly find out that Lety is Aurora, Aldo will have to move on, Fern & Lety have to get together. Then there's Omar & Carolina. They will have to cram a lot into the next 2 weeks, if we have that long.
 

The best part of last night was seeing Fernando crack up during the drunken Omar, Fernie, Saimon scene. He obviously has a great sense of fun in life, in addition to being drop dead gorgeous (could he be any more perfect!?)
You obviously don't need closed captioning or rewinds...great recap.

If this show continues to have fight scenes they should really invest in a decent choreographer!

Was anyone else thinking, Aldo fights 'like a girl'? Cheesy!

Best to leave the fight scenes out altogether and just go with the funny verbal sparring scenes...
LAURA
 

Laura
Didn't Fernando call Aldo the Father of cheesy last week? The man knows what he's talking about!
 

I agree about the girl fight. I suppose the idea is no one really gets hurt, but someone needs to do a better job of choreographing the moves.
All said, I loved the way Fern ran off to defend Lety. I love how she turned to him with tears in her eyes and said his name. I love how he always wants to protect her!
Omar was cute and Fern couldn't stop laughing at him. I agree that Simon is better in small doses.
Thanks so much Amanda, great job!!

Carrie L.
 

Thanks for the recap!

Lately i have watched lety faint all willy nilly....she has become weak cant handle the pressure anymore and it happens since she started dating Aldo.

Remember when Lety And Fernando got attacked by a gang and Lety scared them of with the fake machine gun now that was a brave Lety who could handle pressure she might have gotten weak on the knees but she didnt faint.I miss that Lety.
 

Lol! only a week or so remaining i sure will miss u guys....to the ladies that recap the novelas for us thank you very much you guy add more laughter to the novela even when we dnt feel like watching.
 

Amanda, I can't believe you can do this much detail in a recap when you can't rewatch it. I forget most of the stuff until I read it on this blog. Thanks so much.

If Aldo thinks he has nothing to repent for, I certainly wouldn't want to be married to him. So he didn't sleep with Carmina, he was with her and enjoying her close company in every other way. That is cheating. I know he didn't plan on Carmina being there, but he didn't have to stay and dive and go out for a romantic lunch either. Also, what a fool to have his picture taken with Carmina. In my experience, you only do that with someone you care about and want the memory of the occasion. If that's the case, then Aldo is not even being honest with himself about his feelings or lack thereof for Lety. To me, he didn't seem all that upset that Lety saw the picture, nor did he try that hard to convince her that it was nothing. I think Aldo is so into Carmina now that he doesn't care that much about jeopardizing his relationship with Lety. He was just so content with Carmina and looking at her in that "there's
something going on here way". Aldo is competitive with Fernando and doesn't want to lose the war, not Lety.

Alicia is thinking back to her night with Tomas with fond memories??? This came as a surprise. I didn't respond at the time, but even though I hated Tomas and Alicia's bedroom scene, I don't consider it rape. She planned to have sex with him and I think was just saying no to him being so wild. I don't think the writers meant that to come across as rape, just an overeager Tomas after much abstinence.
 

Great recap, thanks!
Anybody noticed how different was Leti's mom in this episode? I loved it when she put Erasmo back to the sofa to keep him out of Leti and Aldo. And she always was soo quiet!
Poor Saimon! PM wants better life for her little son. You can't blame her! This is a reality for for people who want a better future for their kids at the expence of their own happiness and get this opportunity once in a lifetime. They have to make a tough desision. But I don't think that PM will go thru with that. And it will not be "like in real life" but "they will live happily ever after" with Saimon.
Did anybody notice the "happy" smile on Alicia's face when she recalled last nite episode? It's like she wanted to do it again but then she just decided "not to go with the low instincts". Did I understand this correctly?
I can't wait to see today's episode when Ferni will make his move - the preview showed it.
 

I can really tell when the actors are doing a scene inpromptu, and I absolutely believe that last nights scene at the bar was unscripted. It was so hilarious, and fun to watch Jaime Camil who is always prepaired to a fault. He was absolutely breaking up over what Omar was saying/doing, and there was such a naturalness that he just held back to give Saimon and Omar a chance to show off thier acting skills. They ended the scene with all of them falling in the bushes and fern was so broken up he just laid there laughing.

Also I detected a little jealousy in Fernando when he was looking at Marcia's secret admirer letter. I hope that it all works out for her, she's a good gal.
 

I didn't see fern's reaction to marcia's letter as jelousy more as big brother protectiong his little sister.Thomas makes me sick he gives me the creeps when he is with alicia
 

Does anyone have any idea when this will end? I am working nights now, and don't bother to record it..but I do want to see the last hour, so I can read the cc.
 

Amanda - that was a great recap. I'm impressed that you only saw it once!

It was fun watching Fer/Jaime tryng to keep a straight face with Omar & Saimon outside the bar.

Lety is so not into her wedding; can't Aldo and her parents see that?

I fear that dear Fernando's going to be hurt yet again tonight. The preview showing him taking roses to Lety - is that to cheer her up, or because he thinks he can reconquistar her since she cancelled the wedding?
What a sweetie he is! (big SIGH).
 

This episode had me laughing so hard. You could tell all of them were really having fun. About the end date of LFMB, yesterday Anon 11:03 posted some dates. If they were correct the last day should be Tuesday June 19th. Thats with a 3hour finale. But they will probally break it up amd have it end on Frieday June 22nd. But this is just me looking at a Calender with the dates Anon gave.
 

I thought it was a girlie fight on purpose, both of them slapping each other in a frenzy, too funny.
 

thanks Princess..
I remember the last two weeks in Mx were only 1/2 hour each or 20 minutes after beg/end & commercials...so really just 5 hours..they were running the Juan show in the first 1/2 slot...then the last three hours...so I don't think it will go till the 19th...unless they cut it down to 1/2 hour...
I'll just have to keep reading the recaps
 

I couldn't help thinking during the bar scene that Fern must have been thinking Que the hell am i doing out with these idiots. Lots of spontaneity in the scenes with the poor mopes all of them pining away. Fern and Saimon have the fact that both women accepted a proposal and tuned on a dime to other men but poor Omar has never even made a move. Let's hope we get some resolution for them soon.

I suspect that Alicia has feeling for tomy but is doing her level best to ignore them, after all he he neither guapo or rich but she reacts like a scaled cat when ever Marcia hints there may be something there. I suspect that Toma will find out about her deception and pack up and leave and she will wake up and go after him for more than financial security.

Lety's fainting persona is boring, boring, boring. This isn't the Victorian era where ladies passed out at the drop of a ht. Where is the Lety with a back bone? In a way her constant fainting is just one more way she avoids anything unpleasant, just like her always running away was.
 

WAIT A MINUTE! To Permalink/Anon at 9:30 am and a few others who have previously commented on the subject of us missing each other on this site: It doesn't have to happen, does it? There will be more telenovelas after this and won't a lot of us keep watching and recapping? I, for one, will keep watching novelas for several reasons, but I think one of the important reasons is because of this site, reading our extremely talented recappers' hilarious recaps and the insightful and funny comments of this group. I feel like I have a lot of new friends here and I can hardly wait for each morning to read the recap and the comments. Listen, I'm losing the Sopranos forever, don't want to lose you great people!
 

Fern wants the best for Marcia and in no way is jealous..He's been there-done that..If he wanted her,he could have her.He practically had to throw her to the street to get rid of her,instead he moved out...She hung on by her fingernails,but to no avail.She realized that Fernando's love belonged elsewhere..They are just now evolving into a friendship.

Well, we finally see Aldo is not Mr. Perfect,and self-doubt about his relationship is creeping in-despite pictures of the honeymoon yacht. He doesn't dress like a man with money.
 

Ellen,

I agree with you and am glad that LFMB will last longer than this week. Losing it and The Sopranos at the same time would be way too much to handle. My family is going to mourning just thinking about it. I make it a point to watch at least one of the novelas to keep my Spanish sharp so will be checking out Juan even if I have to suffer through Eduardo Santamarina. If I didn't have to travel so much I might even have tried to recap myself. Anyway I don't see this community disappearing just because LFMB does.

Lety sure didn't look like a happy potential bride when looking at the pictures but I think the whole overreaction to seeing a picture of Aldo with Stalker Girl is over the top. None of the Padilla Solis' even gave him a chance to explain. And Aldo said the one thing that would have driven me and a lot of other women over the edge. "I'll talk to you tomorrow when you are calmer". Drives me up the wall even thinking about it. How condescending can you get. It wasn't like they'd been in an hour long shouting match. He continues to treat her like a child which I guess is appropriate since lately she does act like an arrested adolescent as someone said the other day.

Enough with the silly "fight". Alwas reminds me of the fights you see in the NFL, a bunch of guys with helmets and pads pushing each other around to show how tough they are. Aldo is a real wuss what with the stupid kicking. At least this time he didn't have a chance to sucker punch Fern as he did before. Can't help admiring Fern. He told Aldo if he hurt Lety he would answer to him and when he saw how upset she was he went right to Aldo to back it up.

The problem is she doesn't love Aldo. She is afraid of being hurt be Fern, so she jumped on the Aldo wedding yatch. In the process she has not only hurt herself, Aldo and Fern, she has lost the friendship and confidante that she once had with Aldo.

Haven't PM and Simon been through enough already. Why not let them ride off into the sunset and focus on another couple. Hopefully Caromar.
 

I hope Lety can be understanding about Aldo's "lie" because she might need a little understanding from him when her "lie" comes out.

All I can say after this episode was: Arrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhh!!! At the time I thought I was just grumpy because of a migraine, but now after reading the recap I can see that I was legitimately annoyed.

I was annoyed by everyone, but by PM most of all. For her to think she's doing her kid a favor by moving to LA to see the guy who abandoned them... argh my head aches again just thinking about the stupidity.
 

Is there anyone who Marcia hasn't shown the letter asking for advice. Reminds me of Omar out trolling to find out the best way to talk to Caro. Does no one on this show ever make a decision without having a private junta? Come on Marcia times passing even Fern mentioned it. He did give her good advice about having Celso walk her to the car but she could answer the letter - didn't he mention e-mail? Chat on e-mail or set up a very public meeting and oh yeah tell the cuartel. They'd be sure to show up and check the guy out not to say drive him away if he is a creep.
 

The problem is that the cuartel would probably drive him away even if he's not a creep. :)
 

I know I'm in the minority here, but I couldn't stand Lety last night. The way she went crying off to Fernando without any proof of anything, except a picture and the fact that Stalker Chick answered Aldo's phone. Please... she herself has had her pic taken with both Aldo and Fernando at different times,so she should know a pic itself isn't proof of infidelity. She's also had dinner with Ariel and a date with Omar (as Aurora) and that didn't mean she was having an affair with either of them, so how come Aldo spending time with SC means to her that he is??? True, for Lety those weren't "romantic" events, but for all she knows, neither was Aldo's time with SC, she never gave him the benefit of the doubt or a chance to explain. Worse still, without any proof of any kind, she went running off to her supposedly EX boyfriend.

IMHO Aldo did not do anything wrong, other than to not talk to Lety that night (I agree that was condescending). He did not know SC was going to show up and he certainly didn't go there with her as Lety claims. The fact that he stayed there, so what? One, he has to work with the woman so maybe he wants to keep it friendly, and two, maybe he actually does like her but just in a friendly way. I have a lot of friends, including male friends, that I go out and do things with, but that certainly doesn't mean I'm having an affair with any of them.

I really wish the writers could have found some other way to drag this story out without making Lety so horribly unattractive, and I'm not talking about her looks. Oh well, just give me lots of Fernando and I'll stick with it to the very end.

I don’t think Fern was jealous of the Marcia letter. And Julieta did stand up to Erasmo.
Speaking of the end of LFMB not meaning the end of reading funny recaps and comments, is there a telenovela with Colunga coming on soon? Maybe I will check that one out. See if he lives up to the hype. : ) I have seen pictures of him. He is good looking.

Teresa
 

I wish that Aldo would just go ahead a sleep with Stalker girl. After all he hasn't had sex since his wife died, I think. Well Lety wasn't giving it up anyway.
 

Julieta standing up to Erasmo was awesome!!

The Colunga novela... I think that one is supposed to start when Destilando ends... which will be... um I'm not sure but it won't be soon. Sorry!
 

KIM,

You are so right about Lety being unattractive. She had no reason to doubt Aldo. Sure SC answered her phone and said they had been diving. If SC was a real bitch she could just have answered, lied and hung up. Granted Lety is insecure because she has the memories of Omar and Fern chasing around but it just looks like one more excuse for her to waffle around. Now instead of being unattractive she is also terminally stupid.

Women and men who work together often are in out of the office situations. My husband worked out on the road for months at a time and there were women on the road with him. Did I flip out, no I teased him about his office wives. Did he like it when I had to travel with male co-workers no but he trusted me. Lety has no trust but that could be because she herself was willing to sneak around with Fern and sleep with him when he was engaged to Marcia.

If there was any justice both men would drop her cold and find women who deserve them because she sure doesn't.

This was a great detailed recap Amanda and with no subtitles or DVR? Major kudos.

I loved that Fern couldn't hide his laughter when he was with Omar and Saimon.

Julieta standing up to Erasmo was great. I wasn't expecting that. She meant business even stared him down.
 

I agree with keeping all you new friends close at hand. Heck, we lost Sex and the City, the Sopranos and now LFMB. I do enjoy Destilando Amor, so I hope that there will be another novella for all of us nueva amigas can come together, again.

I'm sorry Amanda, I meant to be another of the readers who sing your praises as a recapper. That was a heck of a recap, despite no subtitles or recording. Good job. All you recappers, I've said it before but I'll say it again, thanks!!! I'd be totally lost with out you (though I'd still be drooling over Jaime Camil, he doesn't need translating!).

About that fight between Fern and Aldo - first, I'm sure they meant to have it look like they were a couple of nice guys who weren't accustomed to hitting people; and second, the show's a comedy and it was meant to look silly. I have friends in AA who would have objected far more strenuously to the scene in the bar where Saimon and Omar talked Fern into drinking with them after he'd already decided to quit drinking.
And Amanda, I'm amazed at how quickly you posted that fine recap. Seems like I had just finished watching the show (which starts here at 7 mountain time) when I saw that your summary was in. Pretty speedy!

I think (maybe) that the point of the fight scene was not to show off Fern and Aldo's boxing skills, but to show off a change in Lety. Last time they fought like that (actually worse) she cried and ran away to hide in her office (she didn't even ask someone to help). It was MARCIA who broke up the fight. This time Lety got between them and told them to stop.

I'm still not terribly impressed, but that was how I saw it - it was supposed to highlight a change in Lety, I think.
 

...also, Fern has been in more fights in the past few months than some men get into in a lifetime. He is definitely accustomed to hitting people by now, especially Aldo. The show was a comedy back then too, but that didn't stop them from having an ugly fight.
