Guapos: Monday 6/23/08- "The son's back and there's a bun in the oven".

Mili’s about ready to spill the non-sibling beans to Alejandro when a very pregnant Florencia enters the Belmonte mansion, tossing an obvious monkey wrench into Mili’s plans. Flo questions why Mili doesn’t offer up congratulations, but a very emotional Mili can’t seem to do it at that point and she runs off upstairs. Al wants to go after her, but Hugo convinces him to let her be. Luci and Connie come downstairs and Luci’s all gushy at seeing her son again and then, of course, even more gushy at seeing the bulging bun in Flo’s tummy. Domingo (who came in with Flo) tells Connie that they are going to be abuelos. Connie’s wheels are turning and I’m sure he’s trying to figure out what financial advantage this will bring him. Connie reluctantly offers up a “welcome home” hug to Al.

Damian has Padre Manuel come out in the downpour and sneak in the back way of the mansion. Damian has something to tell the good padre, and it isn’t a confession. Damian claims to have found God while he was in prison and now wants to commit himself to doing God’s work. PM is skeptical (as are the rest of us). Damian assures PM that he was always a sinner but now wants to redeem himself. PM suggests that Damian practice some patience, to think on it awhile and see if his heart is still leading him in that direction a few days down the line. PM questions Damian as to what this means for his wedding plans with Karla. Damian says that sacrificing the love of a good woman is a small price to pay to God.

Soco puts drops in Rocky’s eyes and then Rocky and Horacio have one of their heart to hearts. Rocky tells the gardener that he knows that Val still loves him, but right now she’s not letting him come near her with a ten foot pole. Horacio has an idea, Rocky should write Val a letter telling her how he feels. Rocky likes the idea.

Hugo goes upstairs to be with Mili. She convinces him that she can’t tell Al the truth now that he’s going to be a father. Hugo doesn’t like the idea, but Mili makes him promise to keep his mouth shut about Mili and Al not being brother and sister. She tells Hugo they need to get married because she can’t destroy Al’s family (and marrying Hugo’s going to prevent this?). Hugo ends up agreeing, but on one condition….that they get married in a civil ceremony. He won’t get married in a church until Mili loves him for real. Hugo promises that he’ll never leave Mili, but questions if she’s sure this is what she wants to do. They agree to get married in a week.

Domingo wants to throw a party for the expectant parents. Connie is in agreement. The two men banter about what the baby’s name should be---they both want him to be named after themselves. Flo tells them that it is going to be a girl. Luci thinks the baby should be named after her. Damian and PM come into the foyer. Al’s happy to see his uncle’s been sprung from the pen. PM tells Connie they need to talk with him. The three men take off to Connie’s office, where PM tells Connie that Damian is seeking a religious life. Connie doesn’t buy it and tells PM that Damian’s trouble, he’d turn the Vatican into a casino if given the opportunity.

Hugo comes downstairs with Mili and announces their upcoming wedding. There's some conversation about the upcoming nuptials and Damian even mumbles something about performing the ceremony (because becoming a priest takes only a week?). The scene ends with Mili offering congratulations to the expecting couple.

Later Lina consoles a very sad Mili. Mili ends up pouring out the whole story to Lina-----Al’s going to be a daddy, she thought she and Al were siblings, but not anymore. Lina questions this and Mili says that Connie’s her daddy, but not Al’s. Mili gets Lina to swear she’ll tell no one.

At the hospital, Gloria is still ticked at Romulo. He tries to talk to Yolanda, but Gloria starts a fight and the doctor walks into the room. The doc says nothing, but scolds them with his eyes. Gloria tells Romulo to leave her and her mother alone!

Karla finds Soco and Lina working in the kitchen. Lina questions why Karla’s not dressed for work. Karla tells her she’s been raised to a new level, since she’s going to marry Damian. Speak of the devil, where it he? He’s at church. So early in the day? Lina suggests it would take the man all day to confess his sins.

Horacio delivers Rocky’s card to Val as she’s sunbathing by the pool.

Yolanda tells Romulo she’s going to look for a place to live for her and Gloria & Gamuza. Romulo asks Yo to give him a chance, that they should be together. He asks her to marry him and she tells him that he wasn’t part of her plans. He says that he wants the opportunity to be a good father to Gloria and Gamuza. Yo says that she’s always cared for him, he was her first love, and she’s willing to marry him.

Karla meets up with Damian at the church. He tells her he wants to be a priest. He asks for her forgiveness, since they can’t be married. Karla, rightly, suspects that Damian’s doing this to make a fool of her and wants to know how he came to this decision. He tells her of “enlightenment” while incarcerated. She wants to know why he didn’t speak of it before. He comes up with some lame excuse and then tells her that perhaps she’d make a good nun. She smacks him and swears that’ll never happen!

Al announces to the family that he and Flo are back to stay. He asks if there is a job for him in the family company. Connie hesitates and Hugo and Luci stick up for Al. Flo says if Connie can’t give Al a job, certainly her father will. Connie finally agrees to find a spot for him. Al thanks his father.

Ramses surprises Val at the pool. They end up swimming and Val doesn’t end up opening the card from Rocky.

Al asks Mili if she’s not happy that he’s come back to DF. She says that’s not the case. He says he wants to be near his family and to raise his daughter in her own country. Mili understands. He says he wants her to be the baby’s aunt. Mili’s touched by this. Al says it is time they learn to live together. Flo walks in on this conversation and she’s not happy. Al takes off and Mili offers help to Flo. She says you can help me by keeping clear of my husband, it turns my stomach to see the two of you together.

Luci is up in her room, hitting the bottle and thinking of Nestor.

Meanwhile, Nestor is visiting Connie at the office. Connie thanks Nestor for his support during his campaign. Connie ends up inviting Nestor to the party to celebrate the upcoming birth.

Flo tells Al that she doesn’t want to be back in Mexico because she doesn’t like him being near Mili. He reminds her that Mili’s his sister and she’ll be marrying Hugo. Flo doesn’t want Mili messing in their marriage. Al says she won’t but she’s important to him. Flo questions if Mili’s more important than she is. Al tries to convince Flo that staying is a good thing and she finally agrees, as long as they don’t live under the same room as Mili. Al says they’ll talk about that later.

Val figures out the card is from Rocky. She rips it up, as he watches from a distance.END OF EPISODE

Raise your hand if you think Lina is going to keep the secret. No one? I didn't think so. Poor Mili just spilled the beans to her impulsively.

The avances showed that Florencia finds out from Luci that Mili knows the WHOLE truth. Florencia was acting rightfully jealous, but on the other hand, she has only herself to blame in making such a bad marriage.

I still think Val is leaning back toward Rocky. She is refusing to kiss the other guy.
 

I'm about 99% sure Val and Rocky will get back together; all that buildup was not for nothing. She just wants to make him suffer, as he did to her. Isn't he still her chauffeur? Seems like a good time to force her to listen to him would be while they're in the car, at high speed, so she couldn't escape.

Damian, what does "the love of a good woman" have to do with Karla? I thought Lina had the best line of the night when she said he had to go to church so early because it would take all day to confess his sins.

Hugo insisting on a civil wedding totally surprised me. I didn't see that coming, but it totally makes sense to make it easier for Al and Mili to have their church wedding someday.

No way is Lina keeping that secret. If someone just tells Sor Chachete, too, everyone in the country will know within the hour.
 

Cathy: Thank you for the recap. It looks like Al is the only person on the "inside" who doesn't know that Coni is NOT his father. But, the sooner he finds out, the sooner this novela will end. Looks like he isn't going to find out any time soon.

Marco Munoz gave us a masterful performance last night. He went from sinner to saint in a second. Of course, you have to take into consideration that he's lying to the padre and Karla just so he can find a way out of his impending marriage to her.

Anyway, what makes Damian such a snob? He just did three years in jail and has the nerve to turn his nose up at Karla. In his own way, he thinks like Luci, so you can tell they're related.

From lower Ala
 

I think Lina will keep her mouth shut -THIS TIME and I think Al will find out the truth sooner rather than later but too late to do anything about it. That baby puts a real spanner in the works with someone like Mili who believes family is everything.

I was glad to see Hugo suggest the civil marriage since it does give us the out when Al and Mili can finally get together.

Sorry but Florinda gets no pity from me. She knowing hid a huge secret from her husband, married a man she knew loved someone else. It appears that Al has tried to be a decent if not loving husband and Mili will do nothing to break them up. I did laugh when she ripped into Luci about being stupid enough to tell Mili the whole story. The MP just doesn't get it that you can not build a lasting or good marriage on lies and deception.

Damian's performance last night was just on the edge of over the top and I choked when he said Karla would be a good nun. Maybe in the Church of the Opportunist Arango's but certainly nowhere else.

If Rocky wants to get Val back and get any kind of approval from Connie he is going to have to get out of the chofer gig and use his smarts to make a real business work. At this point the relationship with Snobby Spice has reverted to the tedium at the beginning with the added annoyance of Mr. Plastic.
 

When is the finale of Guapos?
 

I think Mr. Plastic is amusing. For a few seconds, I totally thought he was a vampire when Val was asleep on the lounge chair and he was hovering over her neck.

Do Rocky and Horacio still have Taco Naco? Rocky has a lot of energy and a good attitude toward learning so I think he'll eventually find success somewhere...so far he just lacks focus, because he's so preoccupied with winning Val's affections. I think he would totally be an asset at Belmonte Construction...way better than Damian, for sure...but of course Constancio would never think of offering him a job.
 

Thank you Cathy!

Man, I couldn’t believe that Mili told Lina. After keeping it secret all this time! And why didn’t she tell Gloria, her best friend from way back if she was going to tell somebody?

Damien was a hoot last night. His heavenward eye rolling looked more like he’d heard rats in the attic.

You sure can’t blame Flor for not wanting Alex to be around Mili, and for not wanting to live in the same house. Besides, what bride wants to live with her in-laws? It’s practically medieval.

I’m wondering why Vale is even flirting with the vapid model. The suggestion seems to be that that’s the kind of man she ran into in Paris all the time. Surely there would have been some fascinating non-model men in Paris? My money is on her getting back with Morgan and the fun is waiting to see when and how it happens.

Pasofino – I’m thinking Damien isn’t so upset about marrying a servant as he is about marrying anyone at all. He keeps mentioning his loss of freedom.
 

Funny how Damian thinks marrying Karla would be an unacceptable loss of freedom, but all his shady schemes which land him in the carcel and get him kidnapped...whatever.

No, I don't blame Flor at all for not wanting to live in that house. What hell that would be. I don't think Al would want to, either, if it wasn't for the opportunities to run into Mili. Although maybe he misses Socorro's cooking. I'm still a little intrigued by those strawberries flambe that Braulio was tempting Val with.
 

Guapos ends June 27 in Mexico and at the end of October here. Actually filmong of Guapos ended a couple of weeks ago. There is a lot of stuff still to happen and i have bailed on all other Guapos groups because i don't want to know how it wraps up.

If I remember correctly Mili was equally close to Lina and Gloria. I think that she told Lina because she is at such a low point she couldn't keep silent anymore. In any event Gloria isn't as close to either of the girls anymore since she is tied up with Chamuco and Mili wouldn't want to add to the burden Gloria is already carrying worrying about her mother. She just needed a female shoulder to cry on.

I never heard anything about Al and Flo living in the Belmonte house. It may have been assumed but I always thought they would have there own place so she could have Daddy close at hand. It beats me why Flo would want to stay in a foreign country with no family handy when she has the baby. At least in the DF she has daddy and MP2 since she doesn't seem to have any friends. You just know that she is going to try and stick it to Mili every chance she gets.
 

Hello, gang, I have one question to asked today. I like all the music for this show "Al diablo con los guapos". I love both Allison Lozz and Eugenio Siller's singing. I wanted to know if they recorded any albums to sell to the public. Is there a soundtrack for this show?
I would to know, so please someone let me know. Thanks!!!
