Chuy is impactado and finally says that she doesn't want to talk to him. He tells her how much of a mess his life is with Viv's return and how much he misses her and loves her. Chuy is uncomfortable and doesn't want to talk with him. She tells him she only called to check up on Mayita, Rocio and Cuate and that she's just fine. She hangs up.

Quick thing, Elsa is moving in with her folks by herself 'cause she left Nelson. Her mom is named Luisa.
I think someone asked about "te quiero" from a previous recap (I forget). Although it isn't as strong as "te amo", it can certainly still imply romantic love, as well as fraternal and filial love.
Why the frill is Stef still calling Pat dad? I would have thought she'd at least call him Patricio, or even Don Patricio instead. Alas, until Mari comes home, it looks like Ceci's not going to be getting rid of that parasite anytime soon.
I was think tonight through the show - these people drink a lot of tea or is it coffee? I wonder what it is? Does anyone know? Even when they are at a cafe, I only see two cups of something. Most of the time they don't even order food.
Genevieve
But Holy Toledo!...she's giving birth. Last time I saw Marichuy she was still in those tight little jeans.
Que the heck with the giving birth already. Will they do nueve meses despues?
I'm surprised that Stefi and Isa don't try to discourage Vivi from investigating Blanca since it will divert her from concentrating on Isa's plan to kidnap Mari/baby. The Stefi/Vivi connection is still a mystery to me.
Surely Blanca/Ivette knows what she's doing. Ivette knew enough to stay clear of her bedroom and turn herself into Blanca so that JuanMi and Vivi could see her.
Can anyone tell me what Blanca heard Stef and Viv say as she was leaving the room?
This story is getting deeper and deeper and I'm enjoying it so much more than FELS. I gave up on that one.

Well, without captions I can focus on the actors more and I really enjoyed the performances last night. Do I gather that Yvette is speaking with a French accent in her Spanish? I was surprised when she was referred to as a French woman.
I don’t get the plot – Vif and Stef may want Mari offed, but Amador wants her alive. Anybody get what they’re planning to do?
I was really bummed when Amador showed up at the hacienda.
Maybe Stef thinks if she keeps calling Pat "daddy" he'll forget that she isn't really his. It's creepy, though, for a youngish lady to call an old guy who is NOT her father "daddy."
So we're getting a time jump and Marichuy only has to look pregnant for one episode? Convenient how telenovelas can just gloss over things like months of hugeness.
Genevieve, I assume they frequently do tea or coffee because it gives the characters some reason to be sitting there together, but is less fuss for the props people than real food. And it's something real people often do, so it's believable.
She clearly looked busted when she saw Steff there, and hung around to listen to what they were talking aobut, (metiche!) so she knows about Ivette, but it seems to be a compulsion that she can't control.
randy, sea.
and again i feel so bad for JM. I'm not really liking what Chuy did with calling his house and then being all surprised that he would obviously pick up and then acting all i can't talk to you even though he professed his love and concern for her. she was just trying to play him lol.
am i the only one or does this novela need to get moving because it is totally dragging on!
I agree, this show has slowed down a bit the last few days. Mostly because I'm not too interested in Viv or B/I. More Omar, please! Also I want Vicente and Rocio to recover and have some story progress.
I think someone asked if Ivette spoke with a French accent. She has indeed spoken with one (not a bad one at that, and her actual French didn't strike me as bad either, but I'm no expert). She also calls JM Jean Michel.
it doesn't bother me if there are captions or not, i'm normally watching these telenovelas without them. for me, it helps me in my understanding of the language to try and figure out the vocabulary on my own. of course, when I'm writing, I usually don't have time to look and read along anyway.
