Amar Sin Limites #52 Thursday, 9-27-07 Aahndres Takes a Lickin' Will He Keep on Tickin?

Azul is still whining about her fight with Diego and how Diego won't listen to her. Azul doesn't understand why GCSSD would have said he (GCSSD) went back to work for Mo because of Azul. Emilia says she has no idea.

Hospital: GCSSD is giving his "meaning of life" speech to the comatose Inez. He wants Inez to live. He also makes a comment about Azul's life being in danger. If he's so hyped on life and living, why is he such a chain smoker?

Mansion Misero: Mo continues his manipulation of Katy, using her as a tool to get Azul back. He tells Katy Azul is sick. When Katy starts freaking out, he tells her not to worry. He swears Azul will be OK and that one day they will return to live as a family.

Casita de los Padres: Diego has accompanied Mama and Papa back home. He's going to go back to the vigil, but he fears for Mama's heart. She tells him vigils always make people think about death, "but don't worry, I'll be around for awhile." They hug and Diego leaves. After Diego has gone, Mama announces she's going upstairs. Papa then starts complaining about Mama talking to Anibal. Mama shoots back, "What about you hugging Isela?" Papa claims that is different. Isela is just a friend. Paco was like a son to her. Mama doesn't believe it. I don't either.

Casa de C & A: Arnaldo and Ceci are hanging out and discussing their relationship woes. Arnaldo tells Ceci about the fight he had with GCSSD and Julio. Julio doesn't seem to care if GCSSD accepts them as a couple or not. Ceci tells Arnaldo about her fight with Aahndres. Arnaldo wants to know if he can stay at the apartment with Ceci; he doesn't want to go home. Ceci says it's a shame that she and Arnaldo can't console each other mutually, as she gloms onto his arm.

Casita de los Padres: La Familia – Mama, Papa, Lidia, Piero – have returned from the funeral. Piero tells Papa they will be starting "work" next week. Papa wants to know what the job entails; he wants to be useful. "Don't worry," assures Piero. "You will be plenty useful." The doorbell rings and Papa goes to answer the door while Piero is droning on about Lidia to Mama. It's the Police!! They've come to arrest Piero for the murder of Paco. Everyone is impactados!

Eva's Enclave: Eva's having breakfast on the penthouse patio and Ivan's looking over the edge and talking to his hand. Apparently Diego's on his way up. They run to the front door and Diego punches Ivan. Diego accuses Ivan of killing Diego's beloved Abuelo. Eva runs to break them up, ordering Ivan to leave her alone with Diego.

Hospital: Emilia walks into Inez' room and finds GCSSD sleeping with his head on Inez' legs. Emilia looks sad.

Eva's Enclave: Diego is yelling at Eva and blaming Ivan for Abuelo's death. Eva denies it. The gloves are off and the fight is on. Diego then says her business isn't as pure as she's led him to believe. Eva admits she isn't pure, but that doesn't mean she'd kill his family. Diego is furious and the spit flies. Meanwhile, it looks like Eva's gray eyes are going to pop out of her head. Finally Eva blurts out that Aahndres is the one who killed Abuelo at Mo's direction. Orchestra of Doom. Commercial.

Hospital: GCSSD just happens to awaken as Emilia is standing there. She doesn't want to bother him. "No bother," assures GCSSD. Emilia wants to talk to him. She'll wait outside.

Eva's Enclave: Diego and Eva are still fighting. She's claiming she had nothing to do with Abuelo's death. She would never want to hurt her beloved Diegito. Diego doesn't believe her. He demands proof! Eva then says she works for a super-secret organization like Interpol and that she and her group are trying to bust Mo's empire! Diego sardonically says he feels much better knowing that Interpol is interested in Abuelo's and his BFF Paco's deaths. She then explains her super-secret group is trying to save the world by preventing Mo from infecting the planet's population with some sort of plague Mo is producing and manipulating. Eva tells Diego "This is the first proof. Ivan took this from Mo's box." She hands him a widget. Actually, it looks like Paco's driver's license. Now why her possession of Paco's driver's license is proof is beyond me. ***Is this enough intrigue for you, Ferro?***

Mansion Misero: Mo bawls out Aahndres for doing a lousy job in hiding the bodies. Aahndres tries to say he was just carrying out orders, it's not his fault. Mo and Burgay ordered the hits. Mo shouts back, "Well I sure as heck didn't ask you to whack Abuelo!" Mo starts shaking Andres – whose face, by the way, is still black and blue from his prior beating from Ivan, Diego, and/or Mistress Leo. I keep expecting his nose to start bleeding at any moment. ***Look at those big brown doe eyes! I want to give him a big hug!***Aahndres finally slinks out holding the bridge of his nose like he has Excedrin headache #893.

Eva's Enclave: Is Eva wearing a peach colored Gunne Sax dress from the 70's that's been cut down into a top? Eva says she'll get Burgay on the phone to explain everything to Diego. Diego says he's not about to believe anything coming out of Burgay's mouth. Eva and Burgay are all accomplices. This discussion continues until Diego's phone rings. It's Papa calling to say he needs Mo's phone number. Piero has been arrested for the death of Paco. Piero wants Mo to hire an attorney. Diego tells him not do anything, Diego will come home. After Diego and Papa hang up, Diego wants to know how Piero is connected to Mo. Eva suggests that Piero works for Mo. She then offers that perhaps the reason Piero got arrested is because Piero's ex turned him in out of vengeance. Eva offers to help, but Diego wants nothing to do with her.

Mama asks Lidia if it's possible that Piero really did it. Mama points out that Piero doesn't necessarily inspire confidence. Lidia snaps back that while Piero may have done some despicable things, he's most certainly not a killer! Lidia stomps off and runs up the stairs.

Casa de C & A: Azul is being her typical pouty self and whining about Diego. Ceci tries to defend Diego's response and Azul jumps down her throat, telling her to shut her mouth. Azul then starts with the "poor me" speech. Ceci and Arnaldo try to calm her down. I think Ceci welcomes her to the world of solteros. Of course Azul is too self-absorbed to ask Arnaldo what happened, but Arnaldo goes on to blame his misery on "Your father." I think everyone just needs their own half gallon of ice cream. That will solve all their problems!

Hospital: Emilia wants to talk about Azul. Azul spent the night with Emilia. Azul wasn't feeling well so Emilia kept an eye on her. GCSSD is worried Emilia left Azul alone. "Not to worry, I left her with Ceci and Arnaldo." They discuss Azul's illness and GCSSD explains he went back to work at Mo's in order to save his daughter. GCSSD admits he told Diego he returned to work at Mo's because of Azul, and perhaps Diego took that to mean Azul had gone back to Mo and asked GCSSD to join her. Emilia begs GCSSD to straighten out the misunderstanding with Diego because Azul really loves Diego, and as sick as she is, her fighting with Diego is making things worse.

Casa de C & A: Arnaldo is talking about his fight with GCSSD. More conversations about their respective relationships when the doorbell rings. It's Katy coming to visit with food and flowers. The flowers are from her daddy, who is waiting downstairs should Azul want to see him. Yes, Mo is using Katy shamelessly to manipulate Azul. Commercial.

Hospital: GCSSD is complaining about the quality of the food. Finally he says they need to talk. Emilia is sending him mixed messages about his relationship with Inez. I'm not sure what this whole exchange is about, but finally Emilia decides she's got patients waiting and she needs to leave. GCSSD gives us one of his classic "QtH?" looks and thought bubbles, "Women. Can't live with them. . .can't have sex without 'em!"

Eva's Enclave: Eva tells Burgay to tell Diego about his grandfather. Burgay says Mo ordered Andres to kill Abuelo and gives details about how they figured out it was Aahndres. Diego wants to know why Mo would have Andres kill an innocent old man who's never done anything to anyone. Burgay says Mo was getting back at Diego for messing around with Azul. Diego definitely buys this story. ***Of course Eva could have ordered the hit for the same reason, but Diego doesn't think about that.*** Eva asks Burgay to leave her and Diego alone. Eva challenges Diego to confront Aahndres to his face and look into his eyes. Once he does that, he'll know who's telling the truth! Diego still wants nothing to do with Eva.

Casa de C & A: Katy, Azul, Ceci, and Nanny are all hanging out eating jello. Katy is worried Azul is going to die. Azul assures her that is not the case. Katy then mentions something about Azul being sick like her daddy. She doesn't want everyone she loves to die and leave her. Azul asks, "Is your daddy sick too?" I think Katy says he seems a little off. Azul says he's probably just tired as well.

Hospital: Arnaldo shows up at the hospital cafeteria. He and GCSSD have a very terse conversation about Inez and Azul. I think Arnaldo must have said something about Azul and Diego, because GCSSD says he'll fix things with Diego when he has time. They sit in silence looking at the plate of donuts in front of the camera, then GCSSD starts tamping his cigarette. Arnaldo takes that as a cue and says he's going to bring Inez her things. At this point, I have a feeling Inez isn't going to know if he brings her things or not.

Eva's Enclave: Burgay and Eva are discussing the story Burgay told Diego. They think Diego is going to buy it. Eva then asks the status of the clothing store they are going to buy for Diego. Burgay is working on it; it will take another few days.

Hospital: Arnaldo brings a photo, presumably of GCSSD about 20 years ago, Inez (or her sister), and young Azul and Arnaldo. I've paused the DVR and can't decide if the guy in the photo resembles GCSSD 20 years prior. Thoughts? Discuss amongst yourselves. GCSSD walks into Inez' room as Arnaldo is setting up the photos and a CD player which plays Pachelbel's Canon. GCSSD thinks this sentimental nonsense is a waste of time. Arnaldo disagrees. They glare at one another until GCSSD announces he's going for coffee.

Casita de los Padres: Lidia is in a snit because Diego hasn't shown up yet to help out Piero. "Diego's never liked him!" Lidia leaves to go to her house. I thought she and Piero were living with Mama and Papa. Not sure what this is all about, but we have a commercial.

Den of Iniquity: Morticia is whining to Isela about the call she took that came in on her mother's hotline. Something to do with a hot dog. Morticia thinks her mother's job is disgusting. At first Isela laughs, but of course, Morticia sees nothing funny about it. More discussion ensues about Morticia's options in dealing with the hotline. Suddenly Isela says she has an idea. . .

Hospital: More squaring off between GCSSD and Arnaldo. Arnaldo is hurt his father won't talk to him. GCSSD is mad because Arnaldo will never make him a grandfather? I didn't understand this part.

Eva's Enclave: Eva and Ivan are discussing Diego. Eva likes the idea of throwing Aahndres under the bus. If Diego thinks Aahndres is responsible for Abuelo's death, then perhaps Diego won't be snooping around as much. I think they then discuss making Aahndres disappear. Did anybody catch this part?

Casa de C & A: Apparently Mo has shown up to gather Katy. He tries to give Azul back the keys to the car he bought her. Azul doesn't want the keys or the car. This goes on for awhile until Ceci says, "Fine! I can use a car!" Ceci then takes the keys. Mo does his best to look sickly and pathetic. Funny, he didn't look sickly and pathetic when he was shaking my telenovio, Aahndres. Commercial.

Azul and Ceci are discussing Mo's motives when the doorbell rings. Katy comes bursting in hysterical; Mo has passed out!!!

Mansion Misero: Diego is beating the tar out of Aahndres and calling him an Abuelo-killer.

Casa de C & A: Katy is still whimpering hysterically and Mo is lying in one of those positions you normally see outlined in chalk on old murder/detective shows. The only thing missing is the outline. Azul tries to wake him up. She tells Ceci to call an ambulance.

Mansion Misero: Diego is STILL beating the tar out of Aahndres and calling him an Abuelo-killer. Leo rushes in and tries to get Diego to stop. That obviously doesn't work so she runs outside to get Frick and Frack, Ivan's Security Dudes. Leo tells them to come quickly, Aahndres is getting killed. They take two steps like they are going to follow Leo inside, then they turn around and start laughing and hanging out. Meanwhile, Diego is. . .***let's say this all together now*** "STILL beating the tar out of Aahndres and calling him an Abuelo-killer." Leo goes to the drawer and takes out a gun, points it, and shoots. Now Frick and Frack start running.

Credits roll.

Sorry for the delay in posting. We had company in town and we got home too late.
 

Thanks for a very thorough recap, Klee. I guess it's obvious I'm hopelessly hooked on this maddening show and I enjoy reading the recaps and comments.

I couldn't see the family photo too clearly so don't know if it looks like GSSD, but I always think the casting for this family was right on point, as to me GSSD, Azul and Arnaldo bear an uncanny resemblance to each other. Re the GSSD conversation with Arnaldo: I thought GSSD was saying that because he'll never agree with Arnaldo's way of life (sexual orientation), he doesn't even feel they can be father and son. (Pretty harsh)

Lidia and Piero are staying at Casa Moran while their own home is being renovated so I think Lidia was going over to see if she could find Mo's number there.

Isn't it amazing how righteous indignation has turned Diego into a regular Mike Tyson?
 

Thanks for the clarification, Jestena. It makes sense. You're right, GCSSD is a total tool! Pobre de Arnaldo.

For some reason I am picturing Diego trying out for a part in the movie "Smurfs Gone Wild."
 

Yeah, thanks for the great recap,Klee the past couple of nights we've had storms and rain fade on the satellite which has made me miss important scenes. Also Univision's inexact scheduling cut off right with the gunshot which was frustrating, although it sounds like I didn't miss that much and picked it up on Friday. I couldn't believe how violent Diego was with Aaahndres. Galans can get violent with bad guys in these shows, but usually it's self defense. I don't remember a hero delivering such a savage beating to anyone before.
 

I was also surprised at how Andres just took the beating. I suspect that Andres has fighting skills way above and beyond those of Diego. Maybe he felt guilty and just accepted the beating.
I laughed and laughed at Frick and Frack (great names, I will use them) pretended to follow and then blew it off. It was hilarious.
Yes, Klee, that is enough intrigue for me! At least the show in general has enough intrigue for me - that particular scene using Paco's ID as 'proof' of anything was ridiculous and nonsensical, so that bit didn't do it for me. But all the double crossing and butt kicking certainly holds my interest, I confess. If it weren't for the daily breakup of Azul and Diego, I'd be giddy. Of course it won't take the place of any much more polished Hollywood drama, but here we get five hours a week. I'm willing to trade a little quality for that big of a bump in quantity.
Great recap, thanks!
 

Well, we know that Aahndres likes pain when he's with Leo and there have been some suggestions that he could be gay. Maybe the beating he got from Diego was closer to his idea of fun and for that reason he didn't really fight back all that much. Then again, he's gotten repeated beatings in the last few episodes. Maybe he's just worn out, has too many broken bones etc.
 

Thanks for the great recap.Klee the
comment about Diego getting casted
in a "Smurf" movie is dead on. I had mentioned before that I had thought
that he looked kinda leprechaun-ish
with, the hair and ear thingy. However, you are right it's a Smurf.
That leads me to my next bizarre observation. I have mentioned that
Eva looked like Elizabet Montgomery. That is still true, however there was someone/something
else. Eureka! It's that damn head-spinning girl/doll from the "Exorcist" save the head-spinning. There seems to be a few
references to that movie.
EERIE!
Why did they have to ugly Andres's face, and keep it going for so long, enough already. Did they notice while filming, as we all do,
his HOT! factor taking over the male lead. Qkay, they uglied Andres
up, they let Diego give him a beat down. I am seeing a conspiracy here.
Is the actor who plays Diego people
in charge? Give me a break.

Thanks Again,
Anne
 

Very astute observations, Anne! I bet it is a conspiracy theory against Aahdres. Perhaps there is something in Diego's contract preventing competition.

Maybe we should start referring to Eva as Reagan. . .
 

Klee***Thanks for the recap. Loved the title. Anne, I agree with you that they are trying to ugly Anndress up and macho Diego up. Diego could beat Anndress to a pulp...oh yeah, sure...that's like believing that the chess club president could beat up the star quarterback. I want Anndress to heal quickly so that we can enjoy looking at that handsome face again because I don't know how long dear Annndress will be with us. His days seem to be numbered. Marcelo needs to get a galan part. He is most definitely leading man material. And, he would have made a great pirate...que lastima.
 

Marcelo as a pirate! Now that's dream casting, Susanlynn. Meanwhile, I hope he's getting hazard pay for the Aahdres role - what with having to kill abuelos and other innocents, take part in kinkiness with Tia (back away from the plastic surgeon) Leo, and getting beaten to a monstrous pulp by Ivan and Smurf Boy (TM Klee).
 

Klee***I must say that your recap was GREAT. I enjoyed your suggestion of the healing powers of ice cream. The term you coined..''telenovio''...is brilliant and matches Beckster's excellent creation ''Que the hell?'' as well as Melinama's classic ''mystery boinker of Santa Rita.'' Bravo. You are a hoot. I love reading your funny take on things. Yes, Jestena..I think I did see Marcelo in the preview for ''Pasion'' the upcoming PIRATE telenovela starring my numero uno telenovio Fernando Colunga, but he was a servant wearing a white wig, not a pirate. Whoever is in charge of casting should be flogged. Marcelo would have made a most excellent pirate....bummer.***Susanlynn, looking for some ice cream
 

As much as I'd like to take credit for coining the expression, "telenovio," I think someone had it before me. I just liked it and it stuck.

Now I will take credit for the "Smurf Gone Wild" description. Well, on second thought, maybe that's not something of which I should be proud...
