Juan Thurs. 5-22-'08 Same Old Same Old
Hi Folks...I'm filling in for Sylvia tonight. She's off sailing over the holiday, lucky gal. And those of us who stayed home to watch this show are suffering big-time, right along with poor Marely. But...don't want to get ahead of myself..here's how things unfolded....
Brief recap of last night's ending. "Sandro" comes into Paula's office, ignores Marely, leers at Paula.
Juan, Juanito and Hillary are at Doña Pepita's and she's flustered and excited by Hillary's presence. Juanito leaves to get Flor to take her home and Hillary pops the big question: "Juan, was there something between you and Paula? Or more to the point, is there still something?"
Juan gets up, turns his back, thought bubbles that he can't lie to her, she's been so great, and turns and tells her that Paula was the love of his life. A thorn he couldn't pluck from his heart. But before Hillary loses heart herself, he adds that he needs to give up pursuing a hopeless dream. HE WANTS TO LOVE AGAIN.
And who else wants to love again?...none other than our new and improved Julia who pursues Kike out of Ferrell to sympathize. Tells him what a great guy he is, responsible, good-looking. You have my number. she adds. Call me...if...they both get flustered, looking like two 7th graders dealing with their first crush. Kinda cute except you know it's going nowhere. Another filler.
"Sandro" meanwhile is putting the moves on Paula. First, intellectually, by presenting some financial documentation with elegant confidence, and then touching her hair and her shoulder while classic Cesar Luis seduction music plays in the background. Unlike the real Sandro, this "Sandro" has very smooth moves (remind you of someone?)
A little comic relief as Pastor and the new improved Herbierto emerge from the elevator to a crazy dance tune replete with wolf whistles. Ivonne does her bit by noting how good Herbierto looks and he's ready to "dar el estocada final" (give the final thrust, as in bull killing) but Pastor holds him back. You've got to play hard to get, he counsels.
"Sandro" meanwhile is ramping up the intensity. He tells Paula he's recovering faith in himself, thanks to her. He's asking for a chance to get to know her better, even though he "knows" he's risking being fired for expressing a personal interest in his boss. But he's just asking for a chance, for some time, yada yada yada and he leaves.
When Marely comes in, Paula is so pensive and bemused, Marely has to wave a hand in front of her face to get her attention. Are you that transfixed by the presentation? Marely asks. No...the presenter, responds Paula, seemingly unaware of Marely's interest in Sandro.
I'm going to give him a chance, Paula continues. I've got to give up Juan. He's not the man for me. "Sandro" is honest, he's interested in me.... Nothing Marely can say changes her mind. (well,what else is new?)
Meanwhile, Hillary is still bedazzled by Juan. Impressed that he stayed true to a hopeless love for so long (Habla muy bien de ti...speaks very well of you). There aren't many beings like you, she adds, and I'm glad to know you want to love again. She moves in for a kiss but just then Flor and Juanito show up and Juanito is not happy at all!
And neither is Marely. She tries to convince Paula that maybe she misinterpreted "Sandro's" interest, or is confused by his resemblance to Cesar Luis, but Paula insists that's not it. Yes, he's like Cesar Luis but without his defects. Marely warns her she's about to make a horrible mistake and leaves the office devastated.
Ivonne asks her what's wrong and Marely explodes "I thought Sandro was honest but he's not!" You can see Ivonne putting two and two together and let's face it...of all the women in his life, she probably knows Cesar Luis the best. She's onto him.
Switch to Juan, Hillary, Flor and Juanito in the car with Juanito insulting it as being "small". They head back to the office because Juan forgot his keys.
Yadira is thinking about heading back to work also, but Angarita advises her to wait until Kike calms down. He reassures her that he has a lawyer to take her custody case and she kisses him good-bye, thanking him for supporting her just like a father.
The blows keep falling for Marely. When she sulkily answers "Sandro's" request to see Paula, he reams her out for "talking to her superiors that way".
And Juanito isn't being much kinder to Hillary. While they wait for Juan in the car, he talks about all the gals running after his dad, so many he can't count them! and then adds that his dad does have a girlfriend. Hillary looks impactada...and not in a good way.
Meanwhile, "Sandro" is working his charms on Paula, asking her to dinner, while Marely fumes outside, blaming herself for being an idiot. Juan breezes by, tells her he can't offer her a lift home because he's WITH HILLARY but then stops when he realizes "Sandro" is with Paula.
"Sandro" has Paula's hand in his and is reading her palm..."I see a woman who is intelligent (we'd dispute that wouldn't we?!), courageous, intense and very very passionate. There are two important love lines...but wait, there's a third line" he adds.
You're making me nervous, Paula replies. He leans in and whispers, "Not as much as I am". Juan's lurking in the door making a gorilla face. Not happy!
"Sandro" leaves, mission accomplished, looks around the room and says, What a pleasure to work in an office with such beautiful women! Marely and Ivonne look at each other and Marely adds that Sandro is worse than Juan and Cesar Luis put together. More pensive looks from Ivonne so we know she's hatching some kind of plan.
The atmosphere in the car is rather frosty and Juanito asks Hillary if she's mad. No, but she's disappointed. Juan lied to her. Now Juanito comes clean and says, actually his dad doesn't have a girlfriend but there IS someone who loves him and whom Juanito wants for his dad. Juan just hasn't caught on yet.
When Juan gets back to the car, he's obviously upset but denies it and invites Hillary to the house for dinner and to meet his "family".
On a happier note, Pastor is enjoying some exquisite moments with Herbierto...advising him to fill those wonderful new shirts with muscle, build some biceps, triceps, reduce the waistline, lift the butt. Herbierto protests, I've got great muscles and touch my tush, hard as a rock! Pastor takes a deliriously long time verifying this, but still advises that they find a gym nearby and go work out together. Hope springs eternal.
I'll compress the Ivonne, Fernando, "Sandro" scenes. She's suspicious. Tells Fernando she has to work late, she'll see him tomorrow. He's suspicious in turn and lurks around the corner behind a newspaper. She calls a taxi and has it waiting by the door. When "Sandro" leaves, she skitters after him down the stairs. Fernando follows.
There are evidently only two taxi drivers in Mexico City, we seen this one before. He drives Ivonne to where "Sandro" is parked. She has him wait (he's shivering with cold) while she punches a lot of buttons on other apartments trying to get into the building.
Meanwhile, Fernando has driven off, convinced she's about to betray him.
Angarita and Kike are having a confrontation back at the warehouse. Remolacho would love to be in on it but they send him off. Lots of fighting which could all be cleared up if Angarita would just tell Kike that he knows he's her real father but no, that would be too easy!
So we go round and round about how Yadira needs to get away from her family, sort things out and then maybe she'll come back to Kike. And he's at fault, because he threatened her first with trying to take away the baby. Enrique accuses him of being an "asalto cunas" (cradle robber) but Angarita assures him he's not interested in Yadira as a woman. Kike doesn't buy it.
The discussion heats up and Enrique says why don't you fire me! Well, I'd like to after this lack of respect you've shown but I'm not going to.
Nidia in the meantime has found out about Alirio and Gutis' schemes by picking up the phone in the middle of their call. She tells him no more contact because this is a "casa de-cen-te".
And who arrives at the casa de-cen-te but Hillary. Perafan falls all over himself fawning, and so does Nidia but with a lot more verve. Perafan wants to offer caviar (yuck! says Juanito) and champagne and Hillary makes it clear she's fine with tequila and enchiladas. Nidia is delighted that Hillary is "one of us" and takes advantage by promoting Ana's gallery showing coming up.
Poor bedraggled Marely arrives, sees Hillary and says "This is all I need!" Nidia can't believe Marely is being so rude but Hillary smooths it over and Juan is impressed with how well she handled the situation.
Marely won't stay for dinner, rushes upstairs, cries her heart out and Juanito comes in to console her. Is it Hillary? he asks. In part, she answers, but I'm mad at myself too. I'm too trusting. I'm not cut out for love.
But I love you! protests Juanito. I know, Juanito but I'm thinking of a different kind of love...someone to care about me, to hold me, to kiss me...And to look at you the way my dad looks at Paula? adds Juanito. Yes, sighs Marely.
In the meantime, Cesar Luis and Sandro are fighting about our " lovely little rose garden", Marely. Sandro wants to call off the arrangement. When he agreed to it, he didn't know Marely. Now that he does, the game has changed.
Not fo Cesar. He's going to get his vengeance and nothing is going to stop that. Not even the great luuuuuve (he sneers) that Sandro feels for Marely. Beside, he adds, she'll never be yours.
She hates you. I've made sure of that. And if you really love her, you'll spare her the horror of finding out you've been fooling everybody...and all for a cold-hearted act of vengeance.
Forget about going to Farrell, about looking for her and about betraying me, Cesar finishes.
And mercifully, that's where this very unpleasant episode ends. Bring on "ultimas capitulos" por favor!!!!

Gracias, JudyB! And thanks for the vocab list. Poor Marely, what an awful day for her, I can't imagine how her situation can improve in a few short weeks...How will it end? When will it end?!
Yes, I was was just hurting big-time for Marely last night. Even thought of an alternate title "Dazzled, now Frazzled (Marely that is).
But mostly I just wanted Dorado Dave to jump through the tv screen and rescue her!
Hope there is more love and laughter in the weeks to come and less of this gosh darned (and needless) suffering.

by golly- that's exactly what I tried to do! Damn tv wouldn't allow it! Nasty bumb on my head, too. We all know that Marely will triumph in the end- right? Right!?.. Anga is pissin me off- why is he torturing Kike? what purpose does that serve. And lil bro Pastor thinking that he can pull Heri over to the dark side. Those boys weren't raised right. I really don't know how they'll tie up this frazzled ball of yarn, gonna be interesting, at any rate. Thanks for the "cap, Judyb...
Well, the Pastor story line is a strange one. He always goes after hetereosexuals which doesn't make sense at all.
But he's a terrific actor and I love his lines and expressions. Him I can understand without closed captions. Kike and Juan though leave me in the dust!
And I sure hope Marely will triumph in the end. Of course several folks think Sandro is a bad match for her. Frankly I have no idea where this is going. She definitely needs an upstanding "Dorado Dave" in her life...and one who can cook as well.

Emilia and I are wondering if this will conclude a la the BBC. We were stationed in England some years ago and were often frustrated by Brit serials' endings. Period. I mean the "ultimos capitulos" sometimes made no attempt to tie up loose ends. Out of time? Oh dear. Well. Tea?
And since it was the Beeb, we had to pay for our TV license to watch it.
Even so, thanks Judy! Really do appreciate it!

Mike and Emilia, I've only watched a couple of telenovelas right through to the end so not sure of the track record.
But usually there are a few ends left dangling. The main characters' romance gets resolved and there are some quickie wrapups of others and then...yes..there are some cases where you're saying but what about?...what ever happened to.?..etc. I guess the writers are as tired of the whole schmear by the time they're finished as we are.
Where were you in England? My husband and I spent a year there both working on our Phd thesis (ostensibly anyway) and lived in London. No TV but we had a little heating coil on the wall of our one-room apartment in Knightsbridge that we pretended was a fireplace. We'd drink Rusty Nails (Drambuie and Scotch) and after a while it really DID seem like a fireplace.

Judy, we were out in East Anglia, more specifically a town called Framlingham about 20 miles north of Ipswich. We enjoyed England so much we came back with one more kid (#3)than we had when we went over! All in all, it was great and we hope to go visit again. Still do Christmas cards with some of the Brit neighbors.
Judy, Thanks twice, both for filling in for Sylvia so she could sail away and for such a great recap again for the second time this week.
I wish this script were written with more depth as it was in the beginning. I wonder if they switched writers near the end or the first one had a lobotomy or other brain "incident" that altered his/her abilities. I have even lost affection for Juan and NIdia who were two entertaining picaresque characters that have become bothersome, boring and besmirched. Even our dear beloved Marely is becoming too Charlie Brown in her continuing naivete. She should be kicking butt big time but no, we have to see her hurt over and over and....oh never mind.

woooo...Cheryl! Bothersome, Boring and Besmirched....Could be the name of a new telenovela...or a swingin' 40's song. I like it.
Glad to know others are weary...I thought maybe it was my continuing resfriado (feel like I have razor blades in my throat) that made me feel such "ennui" but I guess it's affecting all of us.
One of Pasion's main attractions (other than the obvious one) is that it did NOT go on too long...people actually hated to see it end. This will not be the case with our dear (but draggin') Juan.

Oh and Mike, glad the warmth of the English countryside inspired you to go for no #3.
I credit my third child to a Catholic wedding I attended shortly before her conception.
The priest read the Biblical passage "May your wife be like a fruitful vine..." and the next thing I knew I was having a baby at 40!!!!

judyb- remember that i was cooking in my dream. I usually do things better then, rather than when awake...
JudyB, thanks so much for filling in and for the great recap! Love those side comments and wonderful vocabulary list, too!
“And who else wants to love again?...none other than our new and improved Julia who pursues Kike out of Ferrell to sympathize.” LOL! She was just a tad obvious, wasn’t she?
“Kinda cute except you know it's going nowhere. Another filler.” Great point—Julia’s not for Kike. Kike needs his family.
“presenting some financial documentation with elegant confidence, and then touching her hair and her shoulder while classic Cesar Luis seduction music plays in the background.” This was spooky even if I DID know it was really CL.
“Ivonne does her bit by noting how good Herbierto looks and he's ready to "dar el estocada final" (give the final thrust, as in bull killing)” We just bet he is. It’s also possible Heri isn’t talking about bullfighting. Those animal references Kris mentioned…
“Are you that transfixed by the presentation? Marely asks. No...the presenter, responds Paula, seemingly unaware of Marely's interest in Sandro” After a year, I guess it’s too much to hope that our self-absorbed Paula will register what her sister is feeling.
“You can see Ivonne putting two and two together and let's face it...of all the women in his life, she probably knows Cesar Luis the best. She's onto him.” Yep, I figured that Ivonne’s going to be the one to nail them but no one’s going to believe her.
“"Sandro" has Paula's hand in his and is reading her palm..."I see a woman who is intelligent (we'd dispute that wouldn't we?!)” ROTFL! YEP!
“There are evidently only two taxi drivers in Mexico City” ROTFL! We’ve seen the other one several times, too. They must sit in front of Farell….
Marely is just the best. She has not deserved one bit of what’s happened to her. Samuel told Juan to look after her and it hasn’t worked out like Samuel wanted, probably.
Dorado Dave - “Nasty bump on my head” ROTFL!!! And Anga needs to remember that Kike is the father of that lovely grandbaby.
Mike – “We were stationed in England some years ago and were often frustrated by Brit serials' endings. Period. I mean the "ultimos capitulos" sometimes made no attempt to tie up loose ends. Out of time? Oh dear. Well. Tea?” ROTFLLLLL!!! Too funny! And you had to PAY for it!
Cheryl - “I wonder if they switched writers near the end or the first one had a lobotomy or other brain "incident" that altered his/her abilities.” ROTFLLLL!

Mike – “We were stationed in England some years ago and were often frustrated by Brit serials' endings. Period. I mean the "ultimos capitulos" sometimes made no attempt to tie up loose ends. Out of time? Oh dear. Well. Tea?” ROTFLLLLL!!! Too funny! And you had to PAY for it!
Cheryl - “I wonder if they switched writers near the end or the first one had a lobotomy or other brain "incident" that altered his/her abilities.” ROTFLLLL!

Thanks Judy!!!I love the Pastor and Heri scenes. HATE the Pau CL/Sandro/Cl as Sandro scenes. ARGGHHH!!! Mad at Anga. Sick of Perf. Surpisingly, am liking Hillary more. Annoyed with Yadi/Kike/Mar, bored with Nid, and Willy Ana. Intrigued by Ivonne and finally glad that someone is not accepting status quo. Hope this goes somewhere. Ivonne deserves to be the twin buster.
Still want my DVD-R to work. Sigh.

Oh Kris..does this mean you'll have to buy a whole new unit? I know nothing about these things.
I record the shows on an ancient VCR that my daughter bought at a garage sale.
Can't program it anymore (remote busted) so someone has to be home to turn it on but still....usually my husband or my adult son can do it if I'm not around.
Maybe you need a Stone Age backup like mine when you DVR goes on the fritz. Wish I could be of more help.
I agree with you...Ivonne is now a lovable, feisty Brenda Starr type (are you old enough to remember her) who's gonna get to the bottom of things. Go Ivonne! (of course in the meantime this will lead to misunderstandings and confusion with Fernando...aaaarrrggh)

Ahoy all, a huge THANKS to JudyB for filling in for me!! After reading Judy's recap I tried to watch this episode but ended up fast forwarding through a lot of it. I am so mad at Paula for being insensitive to Marely's crush on Sandro. What a stupid cow.
I swear if they introduce any more new characters in our Ultimos Capitulos I will scream. Although I, too, like Hillary, I have to ask myself...why?
I continue to be blown away by how close Ivonne and Paula have become. Paula even gave Ivonne a peck on the check when she went to lunch. Ivonne is a scream. I love how she skitters along on her high heals when she's in a rush somewhere. She always seems about to topple over.
JudyB, your alternate title is a hoot! Thanks again for your great recap; it's so much better and funnier than the original.
On to Friday's recap...
