Al Diablo Con Los Guapos #53, Wednesday 4-9: Love Shack v2.0
Sorry for the delay, I think Blogger was havving issues last night.
On tonight's episode of Amar Sin Limites, Diego has kidnapped Azul and the two of them are in a cabin by the beach…wait, sorry, wrong show. Alejandro kidnapped Mili and they're in a cabin by a lake. Mili confesses her luuuuuurve to the bathroom door only to find that Alejandro snuck out the bathroom window and back into the cabin. Smoochies.
Andrea and Valeria conference in the study. Andrea thinks Alejandro kidnapped Milagros. Valeria denies it at first and then realizes it must be true. She doesn't think Alejandro would be stupid enough to take her to his and Bobby's apartment; she doesn't think he's at the Cuarnavaca house…in short, Valeria has no idea where he is.
Gloria tells the kitchen staff that, per Sor Cachete, Mili's fine and she wasn't kidnapped…and oh, btw, this is a secret and don't tell anyone.
Valeria tries to get information out of Bobby. He fails to crack, even under the promise that he can call her "Vale." He runs off to deal with his car, which he allegedly left running.
Regina sits in her room reading and musing that Alejandro and Mili must be enjoying themselves. Constancio comes in and yells at Regina--it's her fault Mili got kidnapped because someone knows she's worth $$ now. Regina tells him to chill, no one's going to call asking for money, Mili and his precious car will be home soon. Then she chastises him for not saying hello or goodbye after not seeing her for so long. She kids him about needing to show affection for Mommy. Constancio gives her kisses, asks her how she is and then she dismisses him, telling him to go check on his business stuff. After he leaves, Regina says it's a good thing she's got Mili.
Karla and Andrea conference at the hospital. Andrea shares that Alejandro must have kidnapped Mili. What Karla wants from Andrea is: to say she hired Karla to work out of her apartment and to let Karla and Hugo (aka, her future husband) move in.
Mili and Alejandro hang out by a waterfall as Alejandro does a voiceover of some poetry I can't locate. Something about giving so many kisses they lose count and no one can spy on them and see how many kisses they've given.
Karla tells Hugo they're going home to their little love nest tomorrow…which they share with their "friend" Andrea. At her name, Hugo gets some flashes, but Karla tells him it's best not to try to remember--his memory will come back on its own. Amnesia!Hugo is quite pliable and agrees not to try. Karla's next lie is that they're both all alone in the world and they were going to get married at the end of the month, but, well, if he doesn't want to…. Hugo, of course, agrees, managing to look only slightly worried.
More hanging out near the waterfall as Mili does the poetic voiceover. She tells Alejandro she doesn't want to go back. He says they won't. He wants her to be his, which she says she is. Smoochies. Mili wants to stay there, but how will they live? Alejandro says hunting and fishing…he's an expert at both. Mili says she wants to stay because everything's fine between the two of them, but the rest of the world tends to get between them…chicks especially. Alejandro doesn't deny he's a womanizer. He says he's got four women in his life and he's not prepared to ditch any of them: Mili, his mom, grandma, and Valeria. Their thoughts turn to food--there's a pasta packet in the kitchen. Alejandro asks about Mili's cooking skills and she says they're as good as his fishing skills.
Pilar and Valeria conference via phone. Pilar gets informed about the kidnapping. She feels stupid. Valeria encourages her to come home, but Pilar doesn't want to spend eight more hours on a plane. She caves, though, and gets a plane leaving within the hour. I find the desk person suspiciously helpful.
Andrea is still convinced Bobby knows where Alejandro is. Andrea coaches Valeria through a sexy phone message asking Bobby to "please, please" call her. Valeria's grossed out. Andrea says he'll call back…providing the message doesn't give him a heart attack.
Hugo asks Karla how the accident happened--she says he was driving his bike and he fell, just like that. She warns him to forget about driving a bike again and he agrees, since he can't remember how. Karla says they'll go home tomorrow and get married at the end of the month. She kisses him and Hugo touches her face like he's confused. Music that sounds like the theme from Jaws plays. Yep, that Karla, she's a maneater.
Mili cooked what looks like a couple of packets of Ramen noodles. She calls it pasta with pesto…Alejandro questions the "pesto" part. Mili admits she had no pesto ingredients, so it's just got oil. She tells him next time he kidnaps her, he needs to go to one of Diego Moran's seminars on how to properly kidnap a woman and not just skim the brochure. He complains about there being no grated cheese either and Mili says that Sor Cachete doesn't put grated cheese on pasta with pesto--and she'd know, being a fat lady. Speaking of the Sor, what does she say about a man who kidnaps the woman he loves? "That the woman is the luckiest in the world." Mush, mush, mush. They reenact the scene from Lady and the Tramp--the one with the shared noodle, not the meatball. They could have done the meatball scene if Alejandro had been better prepared, but no.
Lina and Gloria wonder where Karla and Mili are. They think about what Sor said and Lina gets a flash. Gloria says the guy had a good body and was tall. Like the handsome idiot, Lina asks? The girls do their super-secret handshake end zone celebration thingy.
Alejandro comes out of the bathroom saying he's glad Bobby had left some clothes in the Love Shack v2.0. Uh, oh, I guess that does mean they'll get the info out of Bobby after all. Mili's already asleep, so Alejandro climbs into bed with her.
The next morning, Constancio calls a guy to find Mili, though he doesn't say that's what it's about. He says he'll fax the guy stats later and no one needs to know he hired him. Damian interrupts the phone call and says he's got a surprise for Constancio. Constancio asks about the talk about Alejandro as Businessman of the Year. Damian says everyone's saying great stuff about him, despite the drug rumor. Constancio says it won't help him since he's left the country. Damian assumes Hugo has done the same (well, that will only last until the Monterrey job starts calling and looking for him). He intends to give Hugo his space to get over what happened.
Mili and Alejandro wake up together. I wonder if Bobby left some toothpaste there too? But we all know that when you're in luuuuuuurve bad breath doesn't exist. *wink, wink* Mili and Alejandro have a semantic argument about "sleeping with" a man vs. "making love." Alejandro says he wants to make love to her and Mili turns to give the camera her "eek!" face. Seriously, dude, if she can't even talk about it without getting all freaked out, she's not ready and I don't care if she is allegedly 18.
Pilar, the screeching harpy, comes back to Casa Belmonte and screams at Braulio to help the taxi driver get all the bags--Pilar's and Alejandro's--out of the cab. She screams at Valeria about spending 16 hours on planes and then for Andrea being in the study. Valeria hustles her off to the study and tells Braulio to bring in the sacrificial lamb, digo, Bobby, when he gets there.
Luciana is loudly congratulating herself for having Constancio dominated. Karla comes in to bring her the biographies of her friends. As part of her delusions of grandeur, Luciana is tossing in English words here and there--"come in" and "play." She corrects Karla's pronunciation of "play" as Karla puts a DVD in for Luciana to watch. Karla announces that she's giving her notice--she's gotten a better offer. Not that Luciana's free from her, since she still knows her secret. Braulio comes in and Luciana gets him to sit with her and watch the interview of Luciana's friend while Luciana tries to copy her mannerisms.
Pilar screeches some more in the study about how Alejandro's going to be sorry and she's going to kill him. She finally plops down in Constancio's chair from exhaustion. Valeria goes for some of mommy's tranquilizers and Andrea goes to get a glass of water. Like Lina, Pilar finds the key in Constancio's drawer too hard to resist. She finds his gun and stuffs it in the back of her pants as Valeria and Andrea come back. She only accepts the water.
Bobby shows up and has to contend with Andrea, Valeria, and Pilar. Pilar does some more screeching about dragging Alejandro's luggage back from Buenos Aires. They tell him they already know where Alejandro is, they just need confirmation. Bobby doesn't give up Alejandro and Valeria claims the three of them are on their way to see Alejandro. Bobby gets out of there and Valeria and Andrea tell Pilar to follow him--tired, cranky, sleep-deprived Pilar? They do want Alejandro back in one piece, right? Andrea thinks Alejandro will calm her down.
Mili and Alejandro drink black coffee, since there's no milk or sugar. Alejandro and Mili have a theological discussion. Alejandro admires Mili's faith and she says she's been more or less taken care of all the time, so how could she not believe.
Luciana tells Braulio she needs him to find a writer to write her biography. She wants an out-of-work novel writer. Braulio tells her the journalist from Personas is there. Luciana complains about not making them wait, but then says she needs to put on something that will look good in the garden. Now she's ok with making them wait…that's what they get paid for, right? I'm so sick of this personality change in Luciana…I wish she'd just pick an ex-boyfriend and run off with him already.
Damian's big surprise is a poster of "Constancio Belmonte, the honest candidate." Constancio is pleased until Damian tells him there's only one since he didn't have money for more. Now Constancio complains about it being a bad picture of him and the poster being in a bad location. He insists Damian's not getting another cent out of him.
Braulio comes screaming into the servants' dining room about a rat in the garden. Blah, blah, blah. Horacio borrows a rolling pin from Socorro and gives Rocky/Morgan instructions on how to whack a rat. And off he goes.
Alejandro tells Mili they have no more excuses and he wants her in his arms…naked. Mili begs off to go take a bath, even though Alejandro says he doesn't care. She rushes off while he wishes he had access to a cold shower.
Luciana instructs the photographer to take pictures of her by the pool as Lina touches up her makeup. If you don't know what's going to happen next, you haven't been watching telenovelas long enough. Rocky/Morgan and Horacio come running through chasing the rat. Luciana and Lina fall in the pool and Rocky/Morgan goes in after them while the photographer snaps away. *sigh*
Luciana screams at Rocky/Morgan and Horacio in the study. For some unknown reason she's not firing them. She just heaps on the verbal abuse and threatens them with both shooting and drowning. She's going to have to pick one. She mentions that she paid off the photographer to erase the pictures. Horacio promises he'll never push her in the pool again. She kicks them out of the room. Braulio comes in and announces he's found her a writer--Antonio Arguello. The guy has Karla's haircut, a turtleneck, and a tweed jacket. He's carrying a typewriter case. Braulio and Luciana whisper to each other and Braulio says the guy's been out of work for 20 years. Braulio leaves and Antonio asks if Luciana is the heroine of the novel. Luciana explains it's her biography. Antonio says he doesn’t perform miracles and if he's got to lie, that has another price. *snicker*
Constancio yells at Damian some more when they get to the office. Blah, blah, blah, no, I'm not giving you another cent…not another peso. "What about dollars?" Damian asks. Constancio doesn't think it's funny. Damian takes off.
Andrea comes to the hospital to give Karla a key to the apartment. Andrea thinks it's a stupid idea, but Karla says Andrea's going to help her. Karla's sure that Andrea can keep Constancio out of the apartment. Karla asks about Alejandro and Andrea says that Pilar is about to bust up his stupid reconciliation with that stupid servant. A nurse comes to tell Karla that Hugo is ready to go. No hefty hospital bill?
Alejandro waits for Mili to come out of the bathroom, which she eventually does. Wet hair, towel, and all. He politely sits her down on the bed and then starts the strip show. Mili breaks the no touching rule. Smoochies. Bobby comes in, covering his eyes, and announces they've been found. Pilar comes in with the gun she took from Constancio's desk drawer and says "Want to see what I brought from Argentina?" Oops.
Tomorrow: Hugo begins to doubt Karla.
On tonight's episode of Amar Sin Limites, Diego has kidnapped Azul and the two of them are in a cabin by the beach…wait, sorry, wrong show. Alejandro kidnapped Mili and they're in a cabin by a lake. Mili confesses her luuuuuurve to the bathroom door only to find that Alejandro snuck out the bathroom window and back into the cabin. Smoochies.
Andrea and Valeria conference in the study. Andrea thinks Alejandro kidnapped Milagros. Valeria denies it at first and then realizes it must be true.

Valeria tries to get information out of Bobby. He fails to crack, even under the promise that he can call her "Vale." He runs off to deal with his car, which he allegedly left running.
Regina sits in her room reading and musing that Alejandro and Mili must be enjoying themselves. Constancio comes in and yells at Regina--it's her fault Mili got kidnapped because someone knows she's worth $$ now. Regina tells him to chill, no one's going to call asking for money, Mili and his precious car will be home soon.

Ay caramba! Either this was a really entertaining episode, in which case I'm sort of bummed that I was out last night and forgot to record it, or just your recap was really hilarious! Thanks for catching me up!
I especially liked the Amar Sin Limites references...jeez, Alejandro, you can't make Mili some sexy swimwear out of her wedding dress? What kind of kidnapper are you?
Maybe we'll be lucky and Hugo got the crazy knocked out of him. I rather hope Karla's plot succeeds...those two crazy kids really deserve each other.

I loved this recap! And there was a lot of new vocab last night, so I’m glad for all the little details. Speaking of vocab, I was sorry to realize that “novela” means “novel” since I was thinking that the writers were having a blast poking fun at themselves. But this is actually a TELEnovela, right?
Loved the title too!
I too am really put off by the new Luci. Ever since Aldo turned into an angel back on LFMB, I quit worrying about plot lines – anything goes in the gravity-less novela universe, seems like. But it bugs me a lot when a character’s personality changes, or bits are written for them that don’t fit.
Another one that gripes me is the hysteria scenes with Braulio. I guess they’re in there for comic relief, but to me, it seems that Braulio’s character is supposed to be dignified, plus he runs the household and such scenes don’t help his authority. I’m guessing the actors aren’t too pleased with these changes either.

I found myself extremely disappointed that Ale and Mili love fest was interrupted. I really enjoy watching that guy put the moves on, he's really good at that...... they both are very good at that acting....

Thanks for the recap, 5ft. I did not watch the whole episode, as I found it a bit tedious after a while. I hope things pick up soon.
More interesting--how was your trip to Las Vegas? Did you see any good shows or sights there? Win any money?

My tedium tolerance got me out of Pasion and ASL in record time but somehow so much goofy stuff happens in this one I'm hooked.
Pilar grates on my last nerve but that hysterical shrieking (badly overacted) gives us a hint of how crazy she is and I only wonder what she will do next. I suspect unlike Carloca on LFMB she is going to be with us for months.
The Lady and the Tramp scene was a little cute but doesn't Al see how scared Mili really is? He is pushing her into something she isn't ready for and it makes me dislike him as much as I did in the beginning.
Well however briefly, Connie steps up to the plate and hires a guy to find someone who is impartant to him. Too bad he hasn't got the guts to admit it to the people who matter the most his mother and Milil.
Good call on that idiot Damian thinking that Hugo went off to his job in Monterrey without a backward glance at his kidnapped bride. Ay Caramba what a family of dolts.
Luci has often revealed her totally self absorbed traits, she is just getting way too much annoying air time my taste. And LF doesn't seem to have a gift for comedy like some of the rest of the cast does.
I read that Çesar filmed a movie during Guapos (which is still running in Mexico). The movie shoot took two months so I'm wondering what they are going to do to explain any potential absence. I think the movie filmed in the Dominican Republic.

Al with no shirt and Mili in a towel made me cringe! I wanted to yell at the screen, "She's only 15 years old!"
Mujeriegisimo! Al never met a girl he didn't want to sleep with, even if just once.
This character is so shallow in so many ways that I just cannot warm up to him as Mili's love interest.
Her, I love because she reminds me so much of my own hijita (who is now 45 years old!).

Dear 5 ft Latina...excellent excellent recap. Informative but lots of snarky humor. Perfect.
Ribera Joe. I'm with you. Neither of my daughters look like Mili but still I cringe. Not even so much at the love scenes, but rather when they load all that heavy eye-makeup on her and have her prancing around the stage in supper short skirts belting out torch songs. Almost seems like child pornography (not that I've seen any) to thrust her into those very adult moves and makeup.
Oh well. Hope she has protective parents who follow her around with a net! at least for a few more years.

Not even so much at the love scenes, but rather when they load all that heavy eye-makeup on her and have her prancing around the stage in supper short skirts belting out torch songs. Almost seems like child pornography (not that I've seen any) to thrust her into those very adult moves and makeup.

I had the feeling the Al actor (Eugenio) was thinking the same thing: She’s only 15! He was extremely reserved and careful with her, which certainly dampened the scene, I thought.
Interesting observation Maggie. I have to admit I read somewhere that she told an interviewer she felt very comfortable playing that scene with the actor because he was very respectful and careful with her.
And...one would hope...in real life an experienced man, of any age, would be careful and reserved when making love with someone for whom it was "the first time"...and especially if he was supposed to be deeply in love with her. Amen to that!

Howdy =)
I saw an interview with Eugenio Siller (Alex) where he talked about his concerns, prior to filming, about doing love scenes with someone who was that young. However, because they are both professionals and there was a great deal of trust (a must when you're filming in such a vulnerable state) between them, it actually wasn't a problem at all.
I will confess that I was a little relieved the scene was interrupted by Pilar because WE know how young the actress is (regardless of her character's age). I think both actors are doing a pretty good job at playing the awkwardness of the moment for a young girl who's still a virgin and for a man, however experienced, who is about to engage in a sexual act with a virgin who he also cares about. If Mili was my little sister or my daughter, I would encourage her to wait until she was truly comfortable no matter how in love she thought she was. The way the characters are written, I think Alex would understand (even if he wasn't happy about it) if Mili simply said she didn't feel ready and wanted to wait a little longer. He was being a typical boy when he started his "seduction act." This stems from the circumstances and the fact that just a few months ago, Mili was quite eager to jump in the sack with him. He'd been pretty good for a while, but once Pilar reminded him of what he was missing, he lost his sense of "propriety." Regardless of his womanizing ways, I think a simple "no, not tonight" would have done the trick for Mili, who didn't take that much convincing when you look at it (I remember how hard my own boyfriend tried to talk me into it at 18).
I do hope Karla's plot doesn't blow up before she gets to tie the knot with Hugo. It would be just punishment for him (and for Damien and the whole Belmonte clan) if that wedding took place. Sadly, the previews seem to indicate otherwise.
I got a kick out of the novelist telling Luci he "couldn't work miracles." As for Braulio, I'm too crazy about them (The writes) making him run like a hysterical 12-year-old girl, but to his credit, he sells it.
Did anyone catch "El Pantera" this weekend? It stars the guy who played Diego in Alborada and features Michael Pizarro (Braulio) as a ruthless crime boss. He's somewhat refined, but in an evil sort of way. Somewhat reminiscent of the Kingpin in the "Daredevil" comics (but in better shape). Dunno if anyone else her is into the graphic novel genre (The 300, Sin City) as they can be quite violent and well, graphic; but this one is pretty good.

Oh, Las Vegas...wellll...my family drives me nuts, so I don't know what I was thinking! It was pretty awful, so I came back the following day and tried to enjoy the rest of my days off from work.
Thanks all for the kudos. I'm glad you enjoy reading these recaps as much as I enjoy writing them.

Fabulous recap, 5ft! For those of you who suffered through Accoralada with me, this episode had to remind you of when Max and Diana were trapped in a love shack during a bad storm... what's with these crazy novelas, that the characters always have access to a minimally furnished shack in the woods/on the beach?
I think Al Diablo is my favorite telenovela! I've seen enough of them to expect all of the crazy twists/turns/miscommunications, but what I like about this one is that the comic relief actually makes me laugh. Especially that crazy Rocky! He's a hoot!
I'm just wondering when the transexuals will show up? A telenovela just isn't a telenovela without a trannie or two!

Welcome back, Amy! I just noticed you posted this. I forgot about that love shack in Acorralada. It was probably the same shack they used for the kidnapping in the shack that burned down. Have you been watching Amor Comprado? I have not been able to get into it, but it has some of the same actors, and I understand it's just as bad plotwise, coming from the geniuses at Venevision.
