Fuego en la Sangre, 10/10/08: A Gorrilla (Still) in the Mist and a New White Knight to the Rescue
To avoid unnecessary repetition we start at the point where Crabiela is angrily yelling to Sofia that she has disinherited her and her sisters. The three of them will be out on the main drag pushing pencils to survive once the old witch (rhymes with ___) assumes room temperature and Fernando does a Fred Astaire on her grave. Mama was just waiting for a chance to throw that in Sofia’s face and, apparently, being told that giving Feo so much authority over them all had turned him into an even bigger despot than she ever was gave her the perfect opportunity to spout the news. Sofia stares at Crabi in a state of speechless impactada.
Downstairs said despot is disposing of Nati’s services over letting Eladio into the main house. Fatima runs in and finds herself on her knees begging him not to fire her daughter and defending Eladio, so he fires her too. Why, you ask? Just because he can. (Feo must have been a Gestapo agent in an earlier life.)
Off in the jungle, meanwhile, the toothpick would-be rapist, Skinny Bones, is griping at the witchdoctor that his spells aren’t as powerful as they used to be. The witchdoctor says it’s because this new stranger (Juan) is more powerful than they supposed and it’s not going to be as easy casting a spell on him. (Does this guy really believe this bunk or what?) Juan and Dra. Leonora come rushing into the hut. Juan yells at them that they are sure the two of them had something to do with him being poisoned. They tell him he’s lying but Leonora says they’re the ones lying and they are going to prove it. Juan warns them that since they want war, it’ll be a war unto the death. The witchdoctor tries to scare him with the old magic “exploding ember” trick, but Juan doesn’t fall for it. He says he’s going to expose their abuse and all their humbug and magic nonsense to the rest of the village.
Back at the hacienda, Gabi finds out that Fatima and Nati are leaving and says no way they can leave and asks them to stay. Feo overhears this and immediately comes out of his lair, his brandy glass and choice cheroot in hand, to ask if she really intends to contradict his orders. When she says yes he pushes her rudely into another room for a confab. Feo doesn’t want her upstaging him with the servants. Gabi says give orders all he wants when it concerns the hacienda; but she’s still in charge of the house and she is not going to do without Fatima, unless he wants HER to do all the cooking, cleaning, washing and ironing. They compromise and decide Fatima stays, but Nati still goes.
A few minutes later, Nati says a tearful goodbye to her mother who must continue to work there to send money to her sick, elderly aunt; and over at the Robles-Reyes hacienda, Eladio tells Franco, Eva and Quintina how Feo accused him of being a thief and was threatening to run off Nati from the hacienda. Eva says Fernando will never change. He’s a nasty man and now that he feels he’s in control of the hacienda he is going to be even worse (in spades, Eva).
Night has fallen and Damian is again pensively meandering through what is supposed to pass for moonlit, misty Mexican moors but is actually just the woods along the long driveway to the main house at Hacienda de las Elizondo y Escandon, when he finds Nati crying on the side of the road. He apparently takes her under his wing, but first he makes a detour. Damian walks into the hallway as Feo is starting up the stairs for his room and says “Good Evening”. Feo turns around and coolly looks him over, sizing up the new and unexpected competition. Damian says he’s there to pay a visit to Sofia.
Back in the jungle, Juan tells Leonora he’s feeling better but needs to clean up a bit down at the river. He is still weak and stumbling, so she goes with him as “physical” support.
Upstairs at the hacienda, Oscar has snuck in again and is back at Jimena’s bedside. He says it still pains him to think how her mother is getting her way and plans to make the two of them pay for going against her. He gets ready to leave and then tells her that he thinks she might be playing him for a fool and just faking this. So he says if she doesn’t recover he is taking up with Nati. Suddenly she wakes up from her trance and gives Oscar the third degree about why he’s there and didn’t he just go looking for Juan. Jimena begins to yell at him over Nati and then starts yelling for her mother. Sofia and Sarita hear her and Oscar manages to barely escape being discovered.
Gabi, Sofia and Sarita come running into Jimena’s room, but Jimena plays possum. Gabi loses her patience and warns them all she’s fed up with their problems and if Jimena doesn’t come to soon, she is sending her off to an institution. After the others finally leave Jimena sits up and thinks to herself that she’s going to continue pretending so that she can get what she wants without Mama finding out. (Those of us in Viewerville are not sure if this means she’s been pretending all along or not.)
Juan and Leonora get caught in another downpour. (They don’t call it a rain forest for nothing.) They stop under a tree and Juan attempts to get a campfire started. (Yeah. Right.) Lightening and thunder crack suddenly. Leonora is frightened and “instinctively” grabs Juan close. (Okay. Okay. Without the whiskers, there’s nobody who makes you want to swoon like EY in scenes like these.) Just as they are about to kiss, Juan suddenly has flashbacks of Sofia. He falls to the ground and begins rolling in the mud from the crushing pain in his skull. (If Sofia only knew the power she has over this guy she might actually become dangerous!)
Lolly-pop Lips, aka Leonora, stares down in confusion and asks Juan what’s wrong, what’s the matter? (I swear Dra. Leonora must have slept through those head trauma classes because I can’t believe she still doesn’t have a clue! Did she sleep with the profs to graduate med school or what?) She tries to help him by running in circles, flapping her dainty hands and grimacing. He screams at her not to touch him and continues to thrash in the mud. (Dunno, Doc, maybe it’s just a bad case of …testicular edema.)
Back at the Reyes’ new bakery, the one that gives a whole new meaning to the term home style bread, Oscar is kneading dough. Franco asks him if he thinks Juan is really dead and Oscar says no, of course not. Something inside him says no, anyway. He tells Franco no use to worry about it now, though. They’ll have time for questions when they go looking for him later on. So Franco asks him about Jimena. Oscar tells him Jimena is awake now, but still angry as heck at him. He thinks he’s lost her forever. Franco says he refuses to resign himself to losing what they love.
Back in the jungle under that tree, which is giving very little if any shelter from the rainstorm, Juan is beside himself with grief and tells Leonora that he wants to be able to love but he can’t because he feels that somewhere someone that loves, adores and misses him is waiting for him to return. Because that someone loves him and he loves her, he cannot cheat on her with Dra. Delish. They argue back and forth that he can’t commit because he is so upset that he doesn’t know who the heck he is; she doesn’t understand why he is so sure he does have someone back home if he doesn’t know who he is. (Missed those psych classes too, huh, girlfriend.) He says that’s exactly why he’s so uptight.
Dra. (and I use the term loosely) Leonora tells Juan not to drive himself crazy over it because it doesn’t get him anywhere. (If you two ever make it back to Puebla City together, sue the broad. She knows exactly where the bus stop is and should be taking you there ASAP to get your head examined. Hell, you needed that BEFORE the concussion.) His answer is to howl at the moon again.
A minute later Juan is telling Leonora that she’s got to understand. He ought to be searching out his past. He can’t stick around there acting as if nothing will happen. (I assume he means between the two of them.) He has got to leave and find out who he his and what/who is in his past. Leonora gets angry and screams at him to leave already. “Go on! Beat it!” she yells at him. It doesn’t matter didly squat to her anyway, she lies, and so he races back to the hut.
We are beamed back to the hacienda where, at the bottom of the stairway in the hallway, Feo is snarling at Damian that it’s too late to be visiting Sofia, particularly for strangers. Damian says he knows perfectly well that Sofia is unattached so he’s not breaking the rules by coming around. Feo gets testy then and says he’s the owner of the place and the one giving orders there (uh, yeah and?) Gabi hears the noise and is pleasantly surprised to see somebody like Damian (new blood) standing there. He introduces himself and says he realizes it’s a bit late, but he came to visit Sofia and –looking straight at Feo--didn’t think he’d be so unwelcome. Gabi comes down the stairs at this point with a genuine smile on her face, undoubtedly thinking to herself that if he’s a suitor what a relief he’s not covered in grime, reeking of sweat or yeast, and that he actually knows what a razor is for.
Feo takes the snub and says it’s still too late to receive visitors so go home. Damian stares at Fernando and stands his ground. Fernando barks “Scram!” at him, but Damian doesn’t flinch an inch. (Sigh!) Sofia hears the commotion and walks regally down the stairs. Damian stares up at Sofia, totally captivated. Sofia tells King Cock he’s full of poppycock. She reminds Fernando that SHE decides who she wants to see and when, so kindly keep his nose out of her business and then agrees to speak with Damian. Mama's smile is so big she looks like Wide Mouth Frog. Damian is a mesmerized impactado and continues to stare up at her.
Again in the jungle, a while later, the village sage and the others are there milling around a campfire to decide what they want to do about the doctora and Juan. The witchdoctor speaks first and says because they let her stay among them the ancestors are all in a tizzy and want to punish them for it. He’s had visions that times are going to be hard because of it. Wise Man says no, their punishment will be worse for not appreciating what’s in front of their faces, a man who has contributed to the village while working alongside the lady doc. This indicates that she is nothing to be afraid of and they should let her help them. One of the village men agrees with Wise Man. The witchdoctor throws another smoke bomb into the campfire and tells them that the smoke is a sign that evil surrounds them but that they don’t want to realize it. He winks over at Skinny Bones who is smiling over these antics and secretly encouraging him.
Meanwhile, back in their hut, Leonora tries to convince Juan not to leave, at least until morning, since it’s pitch black in the jungle and he’s bound to get lost again. (How about following the trucks/mules that bring those bags of flour you bake those conchas with back to the main road and taking the bus back to civilization, or forcing Skinny Bones to show you the way out? Leonora didn’t just get dropped down there by helicopter. --Juan, the Robles-Reyes gene pool needs to end with you.) Juan says he’s got to leave now because the anxiety over discovering his past is too great. He’s glad he met her he says and gives her a kiss on her forehead. He tells Silvestre to take good care of her and heads out--no food, no knife, and no blanket and so much for the war he just declared a few minutes ago. (And we’re supposed to take this guy seriously as a hero? Sofia, get with the program, dear.)
On his way out of the village Juan runs into Wise Man. Juan explains his need to find whoever and whatever is waiting for him. The old man tells him that his past could be full of happy memories or it could be full of extremely painful ones that he himself created, and that perhaps the people he left behind would be happier and better off without him. If Juan got lost in the jungle, he suggests, it was obvious he was running away from something. Juan wonders if he could have really hurt someone and the old man replies that no one runs away from something without a reason. So, it might be a good idea for Juan to wait until his memories return first and his mind clears, otherwise he’ll just be running back into the darkness of another kind of jungle. (Okay. That’s my philosophical take on the discussion.) He suggests that Juan should wait for a sign before leaving for civilization.
Speaking of Civilization or what passes for it, now alone with Sofia, Damian tells her that he doesn’t like to beat around the bush and confesses that he is interested in her and wants the opportunity to get close to her. Sofia says she thinks he’s just confusing things because the two of them are suffering similar problems. He shouldn’t consider her as anything more than a despairing mother. He says he agrees and understands her suffering. That’s why he hopes she won’t reject him. “Don’t send me away, Sofia.” She thinks it over. (I wouldn’t have had to think twice about it. Come on, Slowfia. You like him and you are a free woman…..and Damian is the essence of classical Spanish suave and debonair. Note: classical Spanish guitar strains in the background). Sofia says fine, but only as friends. She smiles big. He smiles bigger ‘cause he figures his foot’s in the proverbial door.
Upstairs in their bedroom Gabi tells Fer that she’s pleased with the likes of Damian. This is the kind of man, a man of class and position, that her daughters should have been involved with rather than messing around with those darned bricklayers. Fernando is apoplectic. He spouts off something about being the man of the house now and Gabi’s not having been able to properly control her daughters from doing whatever and whenever they want. So now that he’s the sole authority in the house he’s not going to allow Sofia to show such a lack of good manners. “No man is going to visit Sofia, let alone at this hour!!” he yells.
Gabi gets suspicious then and demands to know if he’s actually jealous of Sofia. Irritated by the question, Fernando cops to only looking out for Gabi’s welfare, nothing more --only she always confuses everything. She turns away and he storms out of the bedroom, but stops first to smile at himself. At the bottom of the staircase he admits to himself that of course he’s jealous because this guy, Damian Ferrer, is a real rival unlike that idiot, Juan Reyes. (Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)
Damian returns home and apologizes for making Nati wait so long, but he at least got a chance to speak with Sofia, he says, even though Fernando tried to keep him from it. He offers Nati a job as his housekeeper and she is thrilled. (Note: the dog’s got the same name as Tall Tweedle! So typical of this group. They couldn’t come up with something like Marimba or Max?) Nati starts chattering away and eventually tells him that Sofia and Fer used to be married, but since it was a forced marriage, she never loved him and she left him when she met the father of her little girl. Damian tries to take it all in and make sense of it. (Note the fast, forceful strumming on classical Spanish guitar playing in the background. –Word up, Damian! You may want to think hard and fast before getting any more involved with the “in crowd” of Mexiloon.)
Meanwhile, Juan returns to Leonora’s hut and tells her that he’s taking the old wise man’s advice and waiting at least till his mind clears before setting off again. She smiles. They hug. (I shrug.)
Sarita is writing another love letter to Franco but shoves it hurriedly into her desk when Fernando comes in with her divorce papers. He makes a mental note of what he just saw for later and then shoves the file folder into her hand. He wonders why Sarita isn’t jumping for joy. She fakes it and says she’s just a bit surprised. He almost looks as if he has designs on her too. He says he’ll see her later and congratulates her before he exits, stage left. Sarita takes the letter out and says to herself there is nothing more that binds her to Franco except the love she has for him, and that it is something which no one will ever succeed in tearing out of her heart.
Across the hall, Jimena is holding the glass rose Oscar gave her. She hears Sarita approaching the door, puts it down and plays possum again. Sarita comes in and tells her that she’s very sad. She lies down on the bed and whimpers that now she’s divorced from Franco. Jimena sneaks a peek and thinks they are both a sorry lot because even though they’re divorced, they still are in love with the enemy.
Gabi goes to see Sofia to tell her that she approves of Damian Ferrar and hopes she takes advantage of his interest in her. Sofia says she can’t look at another man when she’s only interested in finding her daughter. Again she can’t believe that Gabi is unable to understand the suffering she’s been going through. Gabi says it’s not her fault: Sofia asked for it by going to bed with a no account like Juan Reyes. She shakes her head and walks out leaving Sofia to her misery.
=============
The next morning Juan watches as the Indians use sticks to poke holes in the ground to plant crops. He notices a couple of oxen on the side of the field and decides to show the Indians how to use a machete on some of the broken tree branches nearby to make a plow that can be pulled by the oxen for quicker planting.
At home, Pablito tells Franco and Oscar how badly he misses Juan and wonders if he’s still alive and will ever return. They cheer him up and have him help them bake.
Damian invites Sofia to his house. She’s not in the mood for going out she says. She feels emotionally dead inside, but he convinces her that she needs to stop thinking about death and overcome her tragedy for the good of her daughter. He talks her into coming to see the pastures he’s going to use for his horses and says that he wants her to meet the guys getting them ready for him. They’re simple folk (You can say that again!) and she’ll really like them.
They enter the pasture and when he unsuspectingly introduces her to Oscar and Franco they turn around dumbfounded. She frowns at the two of them. “I know them very well. They’re the brothers of Juan Reyes, the man who kidnapped my daughter!”

Cakes, great recap! I loved the look Oscar gave Sophie at the end there, "man you are one stupid b**** if you think that of my brother!"

Very good...thanks
Okay how come Damien gets all turned on by grim grey Sofie and hawtie Nat is standing in same said wet dripping woods crying and the best studly can do is offer her a job? Geez even the "nice" rich folks are classist.
OMG, I personally want to nominate EY for the Mexican version of an emmy..I want him to win the "Scene Chewing Overacting" Emmy. Seriously is that just not the most god awful crap you have ever scene. So WTF? I mean in the event that someone actually suffered those symptoms and unlike this case, bad overacting was not the diagnosis. Well wouldn't not an aneursym be a possibility? Why try to stop a deadly brain bleed when there is a chance it is a boner problem.
This one makes DA look like the bard did indeed write DA

Thsnks, CC. Great summary with just the right remarks about this idiocy. I watch it with one eye, hoping that we soon get to some resolutions.
I do wonder what Jimena has in mind. Any one of this gang that can develop an idea deserves an Oscar. Even Oscar.

Love your recap and your comments on the dufus characters/situations in this novela. A new term for the Merck Manual...testicular edema. Very funny. By the way, has there ever been a doctor in a telenovela who followed the Hypocratic Oath? G in CA

Cakes - thanks for the great recap. Great 'asides' as well!
Beckster - you have me ROFLOL because I am all, like, WT*? too!
I thought Nati was going to be our latest Llorona in the woods. Maybe she was auditioning for the Verizon/Sprint ad. Meh...
Feo sure likes his role as lord of the manor, brandy snifter in hand and all that. Eeew. Dirtbag. Pond scum.
So, was Jimena faking all along? I guess she won her court case against her agent for damages (punitive and compensatory)for plunking her down into this wacky telenovela job, so now she can wake up and get back to work. The playing possum bit will only be worth it if she hears some really good stuff. If not, we've been stuck with yet another senseless plot twist.
I like Damian. He's great eye candy. Good theme music, too.
Loved the look on O and F's faces at the end: You sure got over I-Juan-a-Brain fast, girl!

Jardinera: Thanks for the recap. You didn't miss a thing.
Isn't there some kind of award that's given out for the worst of something? Like this is the worst telenovela of the year. Beckster, what's wrong with us? We keep watching. I'm always looking for an EY sighting. He's the fun guy even when he's rolling on the ground in the mud. By the way, has anyone added poisoning to the list of attempts on Juan's life?
Central Casting: There are some really bad guys in this novela. How on earth could you possibly have put the skinny old dude in the part of a villain? He's comical when compared to Feo, El jefe and Coyote.
Here is something else that sucks. This alleged wireless broadband by Verizon that allows you a few minutes on the Internet then kicks you out.

Thanks, Cakes. As much as I love watching Eduardo, I have been falling asleep during this show. Christian is a cutie , and it's nice to have some3 new blood in this stagnant show. However, I feel like we are just going around and around. What happened to Raquel's husband and daughter??? Why were they mentionned if they weren't going to appear ??? Where are the 2 Tweedles??? This show has a revolving door , and people keep popping up and then disappearing with no effect on moving the storylne forward. This telenovela provided an escape for awhile, but now I feel like I'm stuck in a very frustrating , unpleasant quagmire . Well, I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Pasion, Alborada, or Amor Real tonight. I miss Fernando.

I know it's just a (really) silly telenovela, but these racist stereotypes of the indians just take the cake.
The poor villagers have some huuuge, and I mean huge, healthy, state fair show winning oxen (with huge appetites no doubt) hanging around for some wierd reason, and they have to have Juan come to the rescue to show them how to farm??!! After having lived off the land for centuries they need this dim bulb just because he's up one rung on the social ladder and wandered in from town?
(it's like Tom Cruise in the Last Samurai: the poor samurai needed this random american dude to go over there and become a samurai to show them how to really fight and win their battle...insulting)
Anyway, here's to hoping that Demian takes Sofia to Spain. They could both use a good long vacation after all their grief and loss...just spare us having to watch please! Though I don't mind looking at Cristian's face and smile.
BTW, he was the sexy Brazilian photographer on Ugly Betty who almost made it with Alexis, I knew I had seen him somewhere, I missed Danicing with the Stars.
Thanks for the funny re-cap!
randy, sea.

Beckster, EY is a major scenery chewer! I keep thinking this must be what the director wants. I wonder how he feels about it as an actor. Didn't he win the Televisa equivalent of a daytime emmy last year? If he wins again will he be like WTF are you people thinking? Really as an actor, he must read the scrip and think "you have got to be kidding me?". And the docter slept with someone to get her medical degree because she is just useless!
Oscar and Franco need to tell Damian to run away!
Doris, I totally agree, there has to be some payoff for Jimena's faking. But Oscar knows she is awake, so does he keep visiting now? Hmmm

Thanks Cakes for another winner recap!
I gotta agree with Randy--why would the villagers have those awesome, well fed oxen hanging around...just to make the neighboring village jealous? Maybe to carry their purchases home from market? Oh I give up! It's too silly.
I have some hopes for the Damien storyline, maybe it will snap Sufria out of her funk. And I HOPE there is a quick and permanent exit for the Dra Leonora character, sheesh! A floozy with big lips and a wasted education, who needs it?

Oh my Cakes, I hope you don't have to suffer through many more of these recaps but it sounds like this travesty is going to drag on for a loooong time.
Glad at least you have Damian. He's good-looking, receding hairline or no, and appears able to form complete sentences on a regular basis. What a treat!
Wishing you lots of Damian on your recap nights, amiga.

I like Damien a lot. I know Sofía is NOT going to end up with him, but he's delightful. Unfortunately, I don't think Rosario would be his type, sweet as she is.
Feo just couldn't control himself when he thought someone else might get their paws on Sofía. Cantu does a great rage. Even drowned-in-lust Crabi spotted his jealousy. I was delighted when Sofía meandered down the stairs and put Feo in his place!
And, yes, it's totally ridiculous that every time I-Juan-a-Brain has a memory of his former life, he roars like a wounded lion and rolls in the dirt. Puleeze!

Susanlynn..good call; hasn't Ricardo Uribe been on his way back for like a year and a half? Technically I believe Cortez conquered Mexico in less time.
Doris..The I-Juan-a-brain comment nearly made me spray beer all over the laptop.
See this is just way over the top..this makes the Aaron scenes in DA appear normal; in fact appear in good taste.
WTH is up with Jimena? Is she holding out for new shoes or what?
She is awesome though, I'd of given in after 2 days of red jello.

WTH is up with Jimena? Is she holding out for new shoes or what?
She is awesome though, I'd of given in after 2 days of red jello.
Beckster...yah, why is Jimena keeping up the charade with her sisters? They're on her side! Oh well, she'll eventually go bonkers lying there all day with nothing to do and no TV.

Can you imagine lying on your back day after day, eating red jello, never blinking..listening to Sofie and Sarita act like they care about you, when all they want to do is lament about their sorry ass lives. Then caress your Dollar Store "Crystal Rose" and nasty State Fair red pillow.
See in this case maybe Crabi wasn't that far off the mark calling out the little faker.

I agree with Novelera, Cantu is fun to watch, he's really good at being really bad.
This isn't the first time that Gabriela has noticed his disproportinate rage. She's not so dumb, I'm thinking it will be Crabiela herself that brings him down in the end.
They are fun to watch...except when they are, you know... (shudder, gag)

Here's what I don't get. Crabi seemed delighted that Damien is interested in Sofia because he's from their class. Hel-lo?!? Why would she encourage Sufria with any man, and potentially produce an heir to the estate??? Aren't we in this time warp mess right now because Crabi had to dispose of the last threat...er....heir?
Oh, wait, I'm thinking too much. Never mind (she said in her best Emily Litella voice.) Whar's mah beaney hat???

Beckster...but has she been faking all along? Didn't she have an "oh I'm awake now" moment? (The dollar store "crystal rose", LOL!!! Oscar's going to have to do alot better than that!)
Randy...when Crabi and Feo tumble into the sheets, just pretend you're watching a snake and a scorpion mate. It's like a nature program!
Doris...I actually thought Crabi was smiling at Damien because she thought he was a hottie...oops, I mean an attractive and interesting younger man. It went right over my head that she saw him as a potential suitor for Sufria, but like you pointed out, why would that make her happy?

Last night , I started watching Amor Real. Wow, I had forgotten what it was like to watch a really great telenovela. Fernando and Adela lit up the screen....and so many bathtub and love scenes. Now, that's what I call must-see TV. I wonder if Fernando is working on his next novela. Anybody hear anything about his next project ????

I think Jimena wasn't faking, because, as the recap said "Suddenly she wakes up from her trance and gives Oscar the third degree about why he’s there and didn’t he just go looking for Juan.". In other words, she doesn't know how much time has passed.
I actually don't think Crabi is nearly into money as much as Feo, so she might really like it if Sofia married Demian, a "suitable" husband. She mainly disinherited her daughters because of their dallyings with the bricklayers. It's just like Raquel, who said her nephews had to marry the rich girls or lose their inheritances. Crabi just wants everyone to be proper, and respect her as the head of the "fine" household. The Reyes ruined her nice life. As we all know, she truly believes that she is not at fault at all.

Hi, Hombre -- I agree with the other comment above -- Crabi hasn't thought it out -- if Sofia marries Damian Ferrer and has another baby then Crabi loses the Hacienda San Agustin (except for the part that applies to Abuelo, and except for the part that is her personal fortune). She has emotional attachments/vengeful reasons for wanting to keep hold of everything --obsessively -- so much so that she doesn't care a whit for anything else that pertains to her daughters. Only that Sofia must not inherit.
The stuff you bring up is only part of her complex wickedness, because keeping up appearances is only one part of her motivation.
ha ha ha -- you and I are applying reason to the nutty story again!

Thanks, everyone for coming by. I believe that there was a reason that the attorney told Crabi and Feo that the estate was reverting to her alone. I don't remember for sure but I thought with the disappearance of the baby he said there was a time frame and that it had passed or something. How else could the estate have passed back into her hands so certainly? Like you say, wouldn't there be a chance she'd have a child sometime later on? Perhaps someone remembers that last conversation with their attorney?
So pervy Bernie gave Sofia a less than 18 month time period max to fall in love, marry(?,) become pregnant and have the baby all without needing to let Sofia know about the will's stipulations or that a will even existed? Makes sense to me. G in CA

G in CA - It wouldn't make any more sense than anything else in this TN, huh? Sorry, I really am not sure about any "time frame", so I'm asking if anybody else remembers. That was back when I couldn't review my recordings, so I was really fuzzy when it raced through on the CC.
anon 9:16
Not to mention I'm sure Pa wanted little Princess to be married, meaning she had to also divorce Fer in that time. Remember Fer the evil son-in-law that Pa ran around hiding crayon notes in the study about the evilness of said son-in-law, plus set dates not knowing the date of Ber's own death. This crap was just added in for plot reasons..As in how can we screw this plot up even more.

CC, I think you are correct in saying the time frame for Sofia is up or else the abogado would not have allowed Feo/Furd to be the sole inheritor. Thus, he's the big BOSS of the hacienda now. I want to be an official FELS script writer and make big bucks so I can just make up the script from off of the top of my head. In a way it's fascinating because you cannot logically anticipate some of the crazy plot twists. G in CA

I think that Jimena/Ximena was really in her catatonic trance/illness and she woke up at some point when Oscar was there. I believe it was when he said he was going to shack up with Natalia.
When she came to, she decided to play possum as if she was still catatonic. Enough for her to hear Gabriela's comments. A sneak peek inot capitulo 117 shows that Jimena might reveal that she has recovered.
A little Off Topic Trivia:
While watching Football today, I noticed that Dra. Leonora was in the Cadillac Escalade commercial. And she speaks pretty good English. I wonder if the 3 Elizondo girls and Rosario can speak English.

Anon. Mon. 1:36 am --I didn't remember the advances for Monday's show, but, like Melinama's rules require, PLEASE don't discuss any sneak peaks unless they've been shown as part of the advances because they become spoilers for the rest of us! Thanks!
I don't know about you guys, but when Damian stood up to Feo and didn't back down from His Royal Nastiness I was jumping up and down cheering. Take that you snake!
I like Damien. Can he move to a new show that makes some sense? Please not he and Sophia. She is just awful. It is so hard to root for a Sophia/Juan reunion when she treats him so badly. Juan may be dumb, but he is really loyal and sweet and even when he can't remember her he stays faithful to her! Jeez!
So this is my first TN. I am debating if I continue this silliness once FELS is over. Except I love these boards! What do you all suggest is a good Novella? Like maybe one worth renting, even though I know those are condensed from the original. Thanks

Connie, you could call yours "Ayer es Para Siempre."
I thought it was really cruel of Jimena to let Sarita cry all over her without letting her know she could hear.
I don't think she has been faking all along - I think she was out of it right up to the moment when she started yelling at Oscar.
Anyone who stands up to Feo is okay in my book. That's another point for Damian! And even Gabi for a moment there... ay, so confusing...
As for Nati, I know she's steamed about getting fired, but as her new employer it should give Damian pause to hear about the indiscreet way she yammers all this private information about her former employer's family.

Thanks Julie good idea! I didn't get to write this weekend because I was painting my office.
Did anyone notice that Nati had a box to carry her stuff in. One step up from a pillow case I guess but not quite on the level of a real suitcase.

Ibarramedia: I also saw Dra. Leonora in the Cadillac commericial. She's been in a number of English speaking tv shows. The actor who plays Juan has also been in several English speaking movies. So those two speak pretty good English. I would guess most of the cast can speak English, but with varying degrees of skill. These are some of the top Mexican actors, and they often go to Miami for interviews, etc.
And, Hombre de Misterio, don't forget Quintina, who has so much English that it's almost her second language!
Julie, thanks for the translation. Isn't it funny that the song that's her signature tune on the show is also her signature tune in real life?
Molly, a number of years ago I got hooked on TNs, then several of them ended and I didn't find any good replacements that captured my interest. The nice thing about this board is that there will be lots of input about upcoming shows once FELS ends.
If FELS ends!

I hardly ever watch this show, but the recaps and comments crack me up every single day. Whenever I think this mess couldn't possibly go any more off the rails, it does! Spectacularly! I'm almost rooting for Feo because at least he isn't as moronic as the rest of them. Although really I'd like Rosario to take over the hacienda and throw everyone else but Grandpa out.
Molly, in case you want to get started on a new telenovela before Fuego even finishes, allow me to put in a shameless plug for the show I recap, Cuidado...it's turning out to be really good AND it is CHOCK-FULL of shower and swimming scenes!

Cree, Julie, I really enjoyed the goofiness of FELS in the beginning. But not it is just stupid, and with no swimming, no showers, so not worth watching. I'm good with a lame story if it is at least moving and there is some nice eye candy thrown in to keep me awake! This is just blech.
Hombre, Pablo had an interpriter at his court date. I saw something on youtube because I had been wondering about everyones English awhile back. Okay, I'd been wondering about Jorge's really, but just started checking out the others as well. EY was in an MTV movie my daughter likes, so I have heard his English and it is really good. Quintina is obviously very fluent. And Christian was just on Dancing with the Stars and his English was great.
There are obviously a lot of great Hispanic actors out there. You can see the talent through the awful scripts on FELS. Hollywood remains redominately white. African-American actors have made huge headway in the last ten years, hopefully the same will hold true for Hispanic actors.
If you haven't ever seen Robert Townsend's film Hollywood Shuffle, his spoof on African-American roles in the 70s, it is hilarious and yet really makes its point. Worth seeing.

Ack! Sorry about my awful typing today. "Predominately" is what I meant to say.
Julia, is that the one that took over Guapos spot with the girl riding around on the bike? I watched a little on night. Of course I know NO Spanish. But the blond guy who has a kid but I think doesn't get along with his wife? Anyway, he looked constipated and it bugged me. I think he was trying to look upset/sad/angst ridden. I got constipation out of it.
I do really like the complete silliness of FELS. Modern clothes, Escalades, no phones anywhere, lots of power or prayer that really doesn't seem to work on this show. Its just kind of been in a rut since Juan went over the waterfall.
Now if Jimena is going to play coma, but get busy with Oscar when the house is asleep, that could be fun! Hopefully he will go back and see her tonight.
And if she plays coma and people keep talking to her, she might realize the boys have totally gotten the short end of the stick!

I like your idea of having Jimena continue to play comatose while seeing her hubby in secret. Maybe we should start calling her Juliet-- and Oscar, who climbs onto the balcony every night, what could we name him, hmmmmm....

Yes, Molly, that's the one. The wife is now gone (faked her death), so he's lost that look...now he's all smiles! And shirtlessness!
I love your idea of Jimena playing comatose during the day and doing as she pleases by night. It's the perfect way to get around Crabi! She doesn't think she needs to lock Jimena up!

Okay, I will have to maybe check it out, because he is cute. Although I am more partial to dark hair, must be why I like the FELS men.
Jimena has to so something to keep bed sores and muscle atrophy at bay. I'm sure Oscar would be more then willing to help! Besides, Jimena doesn't know that she is divored yet! See, if the writers just stop and think for a minute, this show can get better! Of course they are way ahead of us so it may be to late for these writers.
Its funny because in the past when American soap blogs have been really fired up about something, you do see the story change. Of course they are only shooting two weeks out. I don't watch American soaps anymore, but they definitely pay attention to their fan base. Those shows also go one for 30 years. Thankfully we know this one will eventually end.

Oh yes Connie. Its like the baby just disappeared and only Sophia even remember the existance. The police don't care. Feo isn't thought bubbeling about what he did with the baby. You'd think they would give the viewers something.
It just seems kind of cruel to me. If it went over the falls you know for sure it's dead but I think Feo grabbed it before Juan fell. But who could he take it to?
I think it is in an orphanage or something. But why wasn't anyone checking these places? Everyone just assumed Juan really took the baby and they are both gone. But Juans horse came back alone. The brothers have no clue where Juan is. Why would he do something so out of character? Why are these people not doing something? And why doesn't Sylvester mention that some half crazy dude accosted him about where is missing brother might be? Argh!
Apparently the TV y Novelas people didn't agree with our critical gripes about FELS. Remember, was it in June???, EY won best actor over Fernando Colunga and Eduardo Santamaria. I'm really starting to think this is a cultural misunderstanding. They apparently loved it in Mexico. I watched the TV y Novelas awards, and the audience went crazy when los tres hermanos got up and lip synched a song. Rosario also did a song, can't remember what it was.

Novelera, I stumbled on to the awards show by accident. They did go crazy when the boys came out and sang. Ninel's song was the other one she has done on FELS which has kind of an Arabian Nights feels with some fire flash pots and lots of veil.
Is it cultural, or is just that they packed this show with so many popular actors that people are being very forgiving?

EY won for DESTILANDO AMOR, not FELS. If he wins for FELS, then we know for sure the votes are rigged.(I think Colunga was much bettr in PASION than EY in DA, and should have won). NJ Sue

Molly~~~If you want to see 2 really good novelas, buy or rent Amor Real and Alborada starring Fernando Colunga. They are excellent historical novelas produced by Carla Estrada and directed by Monica Miguel....Beautiful costumes, scenery , architecture, music, excellent acting, and storylines that actually make sense. Did you see Pasion ???..Well, these 2 are just as good or even better. ~~~Susanlynn, Fernando's American agent

If it went over the falls you know for sure it's dead

NOT a spoiler - but I've peeked ahead in the Mexican resúmenes. I'm staying tuned. This telenovela is so very random. I think I watch just to see what they'll do next.

Apparently FELS has been so popular, Mejia wants to do another long TN with Eduardo Yanez as main character. Wonder how wacky the next story could get since it's possibly about 2 brothers.
Hmmm "Gorillas in the Mist" has already been taken for another film...maybe he'll use yours Cakes, "Gorilla(s) Still in the Mist" for his new TN...
