I will fill in next Monday.

Can someone explain--Vicente is in on the fact that Amador can see? When was that revealed?
 

Thank you for the recap. I really appreciate the time you put into this.

Anyway, Nina, I was wondering about that, too. I'm not sure that Vicente found out that Amador could see. Amador told Vicente he would use his situation to take advantage of Mari. I don't think it was clear that Vicente knew he could see.

Also - last week I thought I had confused Padre Vidal and Padre Anselmo. Well, it seems that they are one and the same. His name is Padre Anselmo Vidal.
 

Another stupid question from me: Who is this Beatriz? Does she like Amador? Why did she take an overdose? Thanks for your patience.
 

Thanks for the recap eeyore. Pat is really awful. He's almost as bad as Isa and Stef.

Don't feel bad about asking questions ninak. I need those answers as well.
 

Beatriz is Amador's wannabe girlfriend. She thinks she loves him - what crap. He uses her for sex but treats her badly and lets her know that he's interested in Marichuy.
 

Thanks, Pasofino. Now I remember a scene from a week or so ago where Amador was in bed with Beatriz, but he was just using her. I think since we have only seen her once or twice, she has not registered for me.
 

Thanks to eeyore and the other recappers for a great job. I've been enjoying the show but have been hesitant to post because I still haven't sorted out all the characters and relationships.

I love the JM and Marichuy match and think the actors are doing a great job. The fact that Vincente knows that Amadore is trying to hurt Mari completely escaped me until I read the post and comments today. Amadore seems a very one dimentional character whose only purpose is trying to carry out his obsession with Mari. Also, I'm having a hard time getting past the fact the actor is a dead ringer for Joey Fatone. Diana in MA
 

Vicente doesn't know that Amador can see; he just knows that Amador wants to continue pursuing Mari and he's not happy about that. I can't believe I was right about Amador's faking. I never guess things right.

Beatriz has been around. We've seen her at all the artiste gatherings and talking to Vicente and to Marichuy, but she didn't really become a significant character until her melodrama with Amador.

I thought it was hilarious that while Stef was sitting next to JM chatting like they were besties, he was just looking around waiting for Marichuy and completely ignoring Stef.
 

Thanks for the recap!

One little detail: When Mari and Pat had their words in the hallway, Mari asked Pat why he hated her. She said he was as bad as all men. I was hoping that would startle him enough to get him thinking, but apparently not!
 

I just want to point out that there was more deer action last night, when the family was sitting on the porch. It's clear to me now that they are sitting in front of a fake screen backdrop, not a real outdoor set. Of all the things to focus on . . .
 

Hello! folks. Thanks for the recap. It helps me keep the storyline straight in my head.

First, I would like to thank the people that answered some of my questions or address my concerns from yesterday.

If Juan Miguel is 26 or 27 years old, he and Vivana must have married young. Mayita is around 7 or 8 yrs old??? Any Details as to the background of their doomed marriage??? Onelia living with them is not making it any easier. She contributes to the chaos. She is evil and the worst grandmother. I THINKS JUAN MIGUEL SHOULD KICK HER OUT OR RELOCATE HER TO SOMEWHERE ELSE. HE IS RICH HE CAN AFFORD IT. VIVANA IS LIVING IT UP!! MY ADVICE USE IT WISELY RELOCATE ONELIA!!!

I named Isabela and Estefania are the two frauds in a pot. I really dislike them. I think Estefania is so phony that it makes the judge, Patricio as a "moron" and "stupid". As he is a mean stuck up old fart. Cecilia ia kind, but she acts dumb at times. Really? I would think if my long lost daughter that I abandoned were finally find and present to me she would act differnetly than the fraud Estefania. To think she doesn't even know resentment about the lost years and asked questions about why her mom gave her up? Cecilia should know that these questions would be presented to her when her daughter is found. It wouldn't be all short and sweet. All this pleasantness would make me suspicious of anyone claiming to be who there not.

Amador just seems to use women and discard them. If Marichuy did go for him and slept with him and all, he would discard her like he did to Beatriz. I think he likes the chase of hunt with Marichuy. She is a challenge. The more she say no the more he wants her. I don't think it is about love. Amador just want to conquer Marichuy and add her to his conquest. I don't like him. I knew he was faking being blind even in the beginning. By the way, even if he did call the cop and told on Marichuy. To me, it is self-defense. She was fighting him off and not be raped. It seems justice is hard to prove to this community. The way this judge judges at least!

Also want to thank you for using the names of characters. I was trying to see who is who from the cast list and their characters.
I still can't figure out who is Mercedes? Olga? Luisa? or Pablo?
Does Juan Miguel's house have a name, too???

I do like a few of the characters and think that the actors are doing a superb job. I like Rocio, Candelaria ("Cande"), padre, Mayita, Nora (nice maid), Balbina (nice great housekeeper at JM's), Purita, Vicente, Abuelita, Eduardo, and maybe Juan Miguel?. I also especially love the sceneries and aerial shots that are taken.

Thanks for the recap and hearing my comments. I enjoy sharing with you, folks.
 

I agree, Genevieve, Amador definitely does not love Marichuy. He tried to rape her! Rape has nothing to do with love, it is about power and control.

We haven't met all the characters yet, but Luisa is Elsa's mother (her father is Francisco). And the captions always say "Balbina" but from the cast list I think the maid is supposed to be "Malvina."

I think Mayita is supposed to be six. Someone mentioned something in the show once about JM and Viv marrying young but I don't recall that anyone said why...the implication may be that she was already pregnant but I don't think we know that that was definitely the case
 

On second thought, maybe it is Balbina. Various sources disagree. They also spell some actors' names differently than they appear in the credits, so who knows?
 

Thanks for adding the detail Maggie. I knew Mari said something to Pat b/c he was stunned for a moment. But he's such an idiot, it didn't stop him for long.

ITA Julia. It was hilarious to watch JM anxiously wait for Mari while Stefi was chatting away. If he disinterest wasn't obvious, his hugging Mari was.
 

I thought the scene with Mari and Patricio was particularly well done and moving. He actually was startled at first when she asked why he hated her, and he tried to deny it. But his dislike and contempt for this young girl are palpable. She said he treats her like a roach and she's right. When she said that men always hurt her, her eyes weere filled with tears. She's a great actress.

I always try to give the villains credit for their acting too, as it's easy to overlook them and think they are just being themselves, but some of the best acting comes from them. Ricardo Blume (Patrico) is a fine actor and usually plays the kind, gentle aristocrat.

Not only am I enjoying this novela but also the recaps and comments as well. This is fun.

J.J.
 

Thanks! Julia for give me the names of Elsa's parents. This helps me.

Do you or anyone know the names of girl with the really curly long hair that went with Nelson and the other guy to check on Beatriz. She was there before along with the guy. I don't know the name of the guy either. They are all hang out together. I named them the Art gang in my mind.

I like the fact that they are tackling difficult topics such as suicide, rape, post traumatic disorder, child neglect and craziness perceptions.

To me, Msyita is being neglected. Yes, her dad come home and hugs her all, but I don't see any inaction with her from someone in her personal time. She needs someone to be there to hang out with. Her mother is a runaway- no mother to me and her grandmother is the witch of the north and south. Rocio, I think trys all she can with her.

Sorry for my rambling! the reason that I wanted to comment agsin was to add a comment similar to a comment made in Querida phrased differently, but similarly.
Like I said, an abandoned child that is found would be angry or resentful at its parent. She would say something like this "Maybe pulling a baby outfit and saying She goes on to describe (at length) the suffering she has lived with all this time wondering why she was abandoned and identity of her parents."

This novela is making me feel some many feelings, so I am writing more and more.
 

Thanks everyone for all the comments about Vince and Amador.

Thank you maggie for mentioning Marichuy's remark that shocked Pat in the hallway. I was writing so fast I didn't quite catch the whole conversation. I write my recaps as the episode airs so I don't have to worry about my DVD recorder not working.)

Thank you ninak for filling in for me next monday.

Jody :)
 

Wow, Jody you must be fast!!! I have to watch some scenes over and over ....
 

Ditto for me! I can't recap unless I have the recording to pause while I write notes.
