MEPS, June 12, 2009
Flor is crying as she is turning in her badge.
Fernanda is devastated. She feels like she has been in a fog and it's finally cleared and is seeing everything clearly for the first time. She can't believe that the people she has believed in has lied to her. Franco/Ed is trying to comfort her. She tells him that she's scared. Theme music plays. He extends his hand, she grabs it. He caresses her face. And we get a kiss. Soft and sweet. This time she doesn't push him away. Afterward she kind of starts to freak out. She tells him to forget that the kiss ever happened. He agrees. She reminds herself and Franco/Ed that she is married.
Venus and Martina are outside talking and hoping that Franco/Ed can give Venus a job.
Gardinia asks Esteve where Franco/Ed is. She complains to him about the girls. He guesses it's about Venus. He smiles when he says her name and wants to know what's the problem with her. Gardenia gets pissed because she realizes she will get nowhere with him. She leaves and Esteve thinks she's jealous.
Fernanda gets herself a drink. Franco/Ed is looking confused. Fernanda wonders what other lies have been told to her that she does not know about. Franco/Ed says it must hurt. Yes admits Fernanda. And now I know how Eduardo felt. Franco/Ed looks at her. You know I felt anger at him, lots of anger. And I never imagined the pain that I was causing him. Even though I never caused it, it was still my fault. The damage was unrepairable. I let it happen. Franco/Ed asks her if she wants his opinion. He tells her to find that sadness that is inside her and cure it. She asks him for his help. Franco/Ed tells her that we cannot help others until we help ourselves first.
AB does into his study to find Barbara waiting for him. She has brought him the contract that Power Milk has signed with Grupo Lactos. He starts to look it over while giving her the stink eye. He tells her that they have spent 15 years preparing for the collapse of Gonzalo Elizande. Now some guy comes in to save the day. We have to revise our plans. Are you willing to wait for the time needed to complete our plans? No replies Barbara. And what are you planning to do asks AB. Barbara tells him that she will leave them in the hands of Franco Santoro. Let him destroy them. Let him finish what you started. AB is not in agreement. He wants him ruined. He wants to know that he caused it. She suggests getting rid of Franco/Ed. AB tells her no, there has to be someone behind him. Well while we wait to find that out, Grupo Lactos could get out of being ruined replies Barbara. AB suggests she keep controlling the money. It not that easy anymore replies Barbara. Gonzalo has his children now. He trusts Anibal and Fernanda. AB doesn't care. He wants everything to collapse.
Santi and Aurora are packing up the house. She asks Santi if he thins that man (AB) will return again. He offers to stay for a couple more days. No replies Aurora. There is nothing here for me. All that is important is for me to be with you.
AB wants Barbara to give him Gonzalo's remains (despojos) and the rest is hers. Including my freedom asks Barbara. AB asks her when did she ever lose it? When I met you. And Aurora, where is she? She's dead replies AB. Now leave. He cries and mutters her name when Barbara leaves.
Aurora thanks the virgincita because she will be leaving behind her tears, solidarity and pain. Now I will start a new life next to the man I love. Santi says it's time to leave and insists on carrying her out. (does this little speech mean no more tears? or am I hoping for too much?)
Erika and her mom Delores are at the doctor's office. He tells Deloresthat she is not pregnant, but has started menopause.
Franco/Ed and Fernanda are saying goodbye. He asks her if she will help him get Lili out of the mental hospital. She tells him that it's not just her decision to make, but also her fathers. He tells her that her father should not be told. Fernanda thinks that it will complicate things further and that he has not told her where Lili would be or about her treatment. Franco/Ed promises that he will soon have more concrete plans. She tells him to call her when he does. She wishes him a good night and goes to shake his hand. He grabs and kisses it.
Priscilla is in bed resting. Anibal comes in and wonders why she's in bed at this time. She tells him that she's not feeling well. She thinks that she might lose the baby. Anibal the sensitive, supportive and caring husband that he is tells her that if that happens then it was meant to be.
Vlad is worried and upset about Priscilla. Damien tries to offer comforting words. Vlad goes on about how Priscilla treated him. Damien sprouts non-sense and Vlad eats it up. He tells Damien that he is the best friend in the world. Damien says I'm looking out for you. And then they hug while Vlad cries like a sissy. (I just want to tell him to grow a pair).
Priscilla tells Anibal that she will do all she can to prevent losing the baby. He turns to walk away. She yells at him to stay and listen to all that she has to say. The only way this baby will not be born is if I die. Anibal tells her to quit talking crazy. She yells that she has not finished talking yet. He has to get use to having a baby. This baby will be his punishment. She goes on to say that his child will be his worst enemy. And will pay him back the only way he (Anibal) knows. And that's cruelty.
Delores (Erika's mother) in sitting on the couch crying. She can't believe that she's not pregnant. Her husband (name escapes me) comes in bearing gifts for the little one that she's expecting. Erika tries to warn him, but he doesn't listen. He shows off the gifts, but Delores finally interrupts him and tells him the truth. He's shocked, but then offers her his support and understanding.
Barbara is putting her her sexy lingerie when Gonzalo comes in saying you're looking for me? He stops talking and with mouth hanging open and I believe a little drool on his chin goes up to Barbara. She tells him that she's giving him a treatment that only the lord/king of the house deserves. They start kissing and honestly she seems to like it.
Esteve tells Franco/Ed about Venus and that's she's very lively. (quick note: the view of Fernando casually lounging on the sofa with that sexy grin HOT) Anyway Venus is looking for a job and wondering if Franco/Ed can give her one. Another thing says Esteve be careful with Gardenia. You are playing with fire. No kidding. Be careful with her.
Gardenia is preparing dinner and Venus tries to snag a bite, but Gardenia tells her and Martina that if they are hungry to make there own food. Martina tells Gardenia not to be that way. Venus tells Gardenia, "What you think I can't cook?" If I made the same thing mine would be better. Gardenia gets pissed and walks out. Martina tells Venus to control herself. She doesn't want problems with Senor Santoro.
Esteve and Franco/Ed are looking at a picture of a house? They conclude business and Esteve shows Franco/Ed the list of invites for the party along with the food, music, flowers, etc., etc. Franco/Ed is shocked that Esteve invited the press. Of course responds Esteve. We are going to have a big celebration and it has to be in the papers. Gardenia storms in interrupting Esteve and Franco/Ed. She wants to talk with him. It's important.
Gonzalo thanks Barbara not only for the wonderful lovemaking, but also for the wonderful life they have together. She sighs. He asks her what's wrong. She doesn't want to worry him. He begs her to tell him. She says that she's scared of what could happen to her.
Franco/Ed tells Esteve to handle the invitations. Esteve leaves. Gardenia asks if he plans to let those girls stay. Franco/Ed replies that it's too late for Martina to go home to her dad's. Well she brought her friend so that you can give her a job. Yes, Esteve told me replies Franco/Ed. Doing what asks Gardenia. Well I'm sure we can find something for her responds Franco/Ed. Gardenia gets pissed and says that we can't Eduardo. He looks up at her wondering what is wrong with you. She tells him that she will not have it. He finally gets pissed and shouts out her name to stop her verbal rampage. He tells her we'll deal with it in the morning. She stalks off. He reminisces about his kiss with Fernanda and mutters her name.
At Fernanda's she does the same. She says to herself that they kissed and how wonderful it was. But it cannot happen again, because she is married and must be respectful.
Gonzalo keeps questioning Barbara about her comment. She tells him that her position is fragile not just at the house, but also at the office. Lately, it's been difficult managing it all. Gonzalo asks if she's referring to his kids. She just looks at him. What happened asks Gonzalo. Barbara tells him nothing concrete. Your kids are adults now and make decisions. They are not always in agreement with me. Gonzalo says they are not always in mine either. But that shouldn't cause you to be scared. Of course replies Barbara. You are they're father. If something happened to me, you would still be there father. But god forbid if something happened to you...I could end up in the street.
Franco/Ed tells Esteve about what Fernanda told him Damien told her about Barbara. He says that Fernanda's confused and has realized that she has been living in a lie. The only thing she's positive about is if Damien really did what they are accusing him of then her marriage is over. Esteve asks if what Damien said about Barbara is true? Franco/Ed thinks that Fernanda's life along with her family will result in a tragedy. Esteve asks about Lili. He's still thinking about what to do. But the good thing is that Fernanda is confiding in me. He confesses that he kissed her. He couldn't help himself. Esteve asks how she reacted. Franco/Ed says that she let her emotions rule her. Esteve thinks that she loves him. Franco/Ed thinks that it was an impulse because she said afterwards that she was married. That kiss I gave her was filled with all my love. I don't think if meant anything to her.
Monday: Barbara sees Aurora in her house
Labels: manana
Will also try and post this for you.
It was weird how AB is so devastated over Aurora's believed demise. She would have to be his daughter to bring on that much sadness, and that would mean he and Barbara Greco had *something* all those years ago. One thing is for sure, we'll know all by the Por Fin.
We're happy to have the recap any time you can get it done.
I think Anibal will turn out to be an ok guy, he did have a pained look on his face, while she was yelling at him. I think Pris has feeling for him, but he's such an ass, she won't let it show.
Pobre Flor can probably pass on some important info to Jacinto & Margarita about what is happening in GL. Don't know if she had any computer access though. And she can always get a job at Fr/Ed's.
I'm sure Esteve can find something for Venus to do. I just hope she will scrape off some of the make-up & no more gum!
That Babs is slick, Fredericks of Hollywood lingerie, are they still in business? Gonzo will surely change his will.
The press will be at the party, I wonder if Fr/Ed's picture in the paper will smoke out the real Franco Santoro?
I hope Venus prepares a nice dinner for Esteve that puts Gardenia's pozole to shame, just to knock Gardenia down a peg or two. That girl needs a wake-up call from reality.
Question, did AB raise Barbara after she killed her parents? She had been well groomed for her role bringing down the Family.
rsk
Gardenia's jealousy is really obnoxious.
~Caborita
Does anybody else think that Pris should change her clothes? She's been wearing the black pants and grey jacket for days.
I made my mistake because I forgot that Jardinera was away and had a substitute. Since J normally posts by some time Saturday afternoon, and no post showed up by Sat afternoon, I assumed J had an obstacle. Now that I realize you're substituting, I won't anticipate that you will act like J! (jiji) Again, sorry.
Yes, Gardenia is really getting out of hand. She said to Fr/Ed, WE have to do something about those girls.
Gloria, I only see Cuidado while waiting for MEPS, & it always seems to be the same thing, girl in hospital, Wm Levy sad, some nasty blond, probably Wm. Levy's wife who tricked him into marriage.
Is it any good? On the FELS, MEPS scale, where do you think it s/b?
I love the FR/ED and Fern kissing at the love shack....they need to go there more.... My heart breaks for Pris if she loses the baby....no matter who the dad is....i hope it is saved....Barbie and gonzo hooking up is...ugh....but everybody needs a little lovin... barbie is protecting her back side with the big daddy on her side.....Poor lili....2 steps forward...now with barbies visit.....4 steps back.... what the heck will happen now that Aurora and Santi are going back to the Hacienda?....AB told barbie she was dead.....Monday should be a good night...see you all there.....BN in CA
Okay, the kiss. Yes, obvious. But also that, the grrrrrreat smile when talking to Esteve. And even his "oh jeez now what!" look when Esteve warned him Gardenia was on the warpath. Totally captivating. I'm officially in love. Or else officially senile. Whatever. It rocks.
Also loved the scenes between Damian and Vlad. That devil Damian plays him like a fiddle...it's delicious. And baby Vlad just falls for it all. Those two crack me up.
The Anibal-Priscilla relationship remains a total mystery. So she's planning to bring the child up to hate his putative father? Not a good parenting plan.
Gonzalo/Barbara sex scene puke-worthy but must say the old dude put a lot of energy into it. These cameramen love the thigh/stocking/garter belt shots. Reminiscent of the same shot of Fernandas white stocking when dressing for the wedding. Well, guess they know what works.
Menfolk, I hope you got your due the other night. We gals certainly did.
Then again, maybe she's not planning to raise the kid to be spiteful and rotten; perhaps she simply expects that the child will naturally grow to hate Ani as much as she does, just on general principal!
That would explain why it's not so difficult for her to go to bed with Gonzo - the resemblance between the two men doesn't seem to be a problem at all. I figure that if Bravo had been either a rapist or a relative, Babs probably wouldn't be able to bear a single night with Gonzo.
Now. During the endless scene with Santi last week (when they were talking about that drawing), Aurora said she used to imagine walking between her parents, with Mommy holding one hand and Daddy holding the other. I wonder, was that really a wish, or a memory from very, very early childhood? Babs and Bravo? Someone else? Maybe Babs and Bravo raised her together for a short time? (Doubtful, but it would be nice if Aurora could find out that her parents really loved her.)
Aurora speculated that Bravo might be a gangster, something to do with the cockfights Dominga used to go to. Perhaps Babs met Bravo at age 15; he was an aspiring gangster, Mom didn't approve, Babs got knocked up, Mom tried to take the baby away, Babs killed Mom (perhaps with Bravo's help).
I'm equally fascinated by Dominga. How'd she get involved in this mess? Did Bravo know what kind of person she was? If Aurora was so important to him, why'd he ever put her in Dominga's care in the first place??
Actually, Gardenia's jealousy could really be a problem. She knows a lot of secrets. If Ed's announcing an engagement to Erika, spending private time with Fernanda, refusing to turn Venus away, etc. will Gardenia feel betrayed? Vengeful, even? She could do a lot worse than hide a shoebox full of billets-doux.
Anibal
Liliana
Camilo
Fernanda
Santiago
Before, I thought it was
Anibal
Camilo
Liliana
Fernanda
Santiago
I guess a key to the current ages would be if this story is set in 2007 or 2009. 2007 would be 15 years later, 2009 would be 17 years later.
So if Anibal was headed off to college in episodes 1/2, he would be about 35 (if the story is set in '09).
Liliana would be about 33, Camilo from 32-29, Fernanda 27, Santiago 22-24.
I think Aurora is 20. FrEd appears to be slightly older than Fernanda, so I'll put him around 30.
Babs would be anywhere between 35 and 40.
They need to shut down Gardenia ASAP. She's acting like the wronged wife when Martina and Venus showed up. She'll probably spill the beans after following FrEd to the loveshack and watching him get it on with Fernanda.
I think Fr/Ed could have placated Gardenia a little more. She was over the line, but sheesh, she has almost been killed because of him a few times.
JudyB, I also don't understand the Pricilla-Anibal relationship.
It was a great end of the week. After being so aggravated by Fr/Ed's childish jealousy and petty mean-spiritedness toward Fernanda, I was enchanted by Thurs. and Fri. I loved the kiss, I love FC's trim waist in a white dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, I love Fr/Ed's expression as Fer poured herself a drink, I loved the hand kiss and I too loved Fr/Ed's smile as he lounged on the couch. Oh, be still my beating heart!
By the way, I also think Fer's dress is very pretty. I also liked her acting the whole post-kiss scene and her smile after Fr/Ed kissed her hand. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode.
Barbara
Does Barb have a matching whip and chains in her closet somewhere, though, she doesn't need to use them on Gonzo as witnessed by the way he ripped off his jacket. LOL
And yes, why are they wasting precious time on Dolly's menopause unless it affects the plot later, which I doubt it does.
I am enjoying F C and Silvia Navarro as the leads and she is a terrific actress especially compared to Slofia. E Y is still one of my faves...I forgive him for FELS. GinCA
Babs thinks she killed her parents. Artemio Bravo reinforces that, too. But what if, when she was 15, AB actually killed them, and just made Babs THINK she killed them (sort of like Liliana, although she knows she didn't kill her mother). And then Babs' entire life of evil servitude to AB would have been a fraud. I know this is unlikely, but it would be a fun development. If true, Babs would definitely want to kill AB.
About the menopause side plot ... The South American telenovelas that I have seen usually have one or two side plots that they give some attention to (e.g., in BLF the Sofia/quitamarido plot and in a lesser manner, Patricia). I think it is just their style and it usually is not annoying. Problem is Telerisa and in MEPS it is being poorly done.
H de M - I like your theory of AB framing Babs and letting her think she killed them. It will be interesting to see how this story unfolds.
Gardenia suffers from Queen Bee Syndrome, IMO.
Gardenia needs to cool it. It was kind of funny at first but it is getting old.
Barb and Gonzo--ewww, almost as bad as Gabriella and Fernando.
Ibarramedia
And I'm still fuming at the thought of him shedding a tear over Aurora's death after letting her be raised by an abusive drunkard.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I had to take my beanie off for a while because it's laundry night.
I don't care for Gardenia now and even before now. She is pushy, loud, impulsive and not the brightest bulb (sorry Gardenia if you are reading this!!) More that that, she is hiding the important LETTERS. I can't figure out if I don't like the character or the actress' interpretation of the character. She bothers me more than Arora.
It will be some "flip flop" if the writers try and bring sympathy to Babs, she has been so very bad for so long, we will have to suspend a mountain of disbelief to watch the turnaround.
Fernanda has a style of her own, lacy dresses and leather boots, then in her dinner with FrEd, a dress with a giant bow in the back. Somehow she pulls it off and looks great.
Sandy in TN
In fact, when I mentally compare the two roles, they're very, very different (except for the annoyance factor). Gardenia is immature, but she's still one of the "good guys." Jasmin was a husband-stealing gold digger. It's actually hard to believe it's the same actress!
When Esteve gave FrEd the warning about Gardenia, there was a dramatic pause. Do you think that this means that she will be more of a problem in the future. His warning seemed to signify something important.
Thanks for the info on the actress!
Sandy in TN
Still, no matter what she does, it would be a case of her being stupid and immature, not evil. I can envision her doing a lot of damage out of a dumb angry impulse (and maybe having to pay some consequences), but not going to the dark side of the Force or anything like that. At least, I hope not!
I read that EY will start filming this summer in a remake of "Corazon Salvaje". Here is the story:
http://www.oem.com.mx/esto/notas/n1203836.htm
Can't be soon enough for me!
Jane
I liked the scenes with Fr/ed and Fernanda, I think Fernando and Silvia are taking their time warming up to each other, but they are slowly forming a nice chemistry.
Sussalynn: I am glad that Gonzalo got to keep his clothes on.
Paula I'm with you about Yañez, he is no Juan Del Diablo, not only is he too old (Juan is supposed to be 27) but I don't think he has what it takes to fill the role, especially after Eduardo Palomo was so magnificent.
I had heard the rumor that Mejía wanted Yañez as Juan, but this article says its confirmed, it also says that Salvador Mejía still didn't have an Aimé and Mónica and mentions Ninel Conde as a possible Aimé (NO!), but according to some rumors he wants Danna García as Mónica and Silvia Navarro as Aimé, who knows.

Anon 9:31, it's the same actor, and in the teaser/synopsis that was published before they aired the telenovela, it said they're half-brothers, though this hasn't been revealed in the story yet.
If "Bravo" isn't his real name (maybe it is, but I'd guess not), then we can't even assume which side of the family they're half-brothers on.

Juan Del Diablo is a complicated character, both a gentleman and a bandit, brave, all fierce, full of passion and jealousy with Aimée and so sweet and tender with Mónica:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x199Avm3Ppc
I just can't see Yañez in the role.
Jarocha.
EY is almost 50 years old. That part is for a young person.
There must be some good young actors other than Wm. Levy.
Variopinta: I think there are tons of better actors than Levy, maybe not as pretty as him though.

I'm at work trying to read comments in between but a few points.
Carlos, I always enjoy your comments. While logically it makes sense for Sole to be Lili's mother, it is a heartbreaking possibility emotionally. If so, Soledad literally comdemned Lili to a drug-induced, hellish institutionalized life. I know Sole wanted to protect Eduardo, but if she sacrificed her other child, Lili, to do so, it would be unforgiveable.
Hombre, loved your suggestion that AB may have only tricked Babs into thinking she'd killed her parents. It will be very interesting to see if you're right!
Barbara, excellent point that Gardenia has almost been killed several times in order to protect Fr/Ed. We should cut her some slack. After all, jealousy never killed anyone, right? :)

Diana - ITA with your take on Soledad not being Lil's mom. Based on what she did for Fr/Ed, if she were Lil's mom, she would have done something to keep her child from suffering.
It's really going to be interesting to see if Bravo is actually Aurora's dad. Then, based on novela conventions, Santi will somehow not be Gonzo's child.

Wow. Two of my faves, Eduardo Paloma and Edith Gonzales. Doris, I think you are right, just bring this back.
Carlos
I'll end my participation in the Gardenia discussion on a point made by you, Carlos:
"She is an untamed spitfire who is unflinchingly loyal to Eddie, who frankly at this point doesn't deserve that loyalty."
I totally agree!

So what if Gonzalo is actually AB's father? And his vengeance has something to do with Gonzo leaving a very young wife/gf in his youth and then striking it rich once he's with his new wife/family?
However, it also seems likely that AB and Barbara are Aurora's parents - I mean AB's cracking voice? What else could it be? But then like someone else said, it would be sort of gross unless Santiago turns out to be someone else's son.
Anyway, good week of shows...
A
Anyway, I guess what I was trying to find out without giving a spoiler was did we ALL know it was the same actor? I think early on several people speculated about the brother angle, so that's why I thought I actually knew who he was. Jeez, shades of Mundo de Fieras when the 2 brothers (one good, one evil) one had been raised rich and one poor. Thanks for all of you bearing with me
i.e. we knew because the Esmas and/or Univision websites told us even before we saw the first episode and it was translated and posted here on Caray.
