Sortilegio #32, November 19, 2009: Let's Get Ready to Rummmmble!
Mex. Capitilo 37
EEUU Capitilo 32
From yesterday :
Team Mexitrash is assembled at the Barbie Fun House. Useless is calling the hotel to get the 411 on Mario. No luck. Bummer. Then RaMaura tells him to check with his friends. No one has seen him.
Chucho at the hospital--sorry--FF>>
Tonight
Bobo and Useless come upon some friends of Faux Mario and ask where he is. They say they don't know where he is. Useless tells them to let him know he is looking for him. The friends look at him funny and say, uh, sure. Bobo, the more intuitive of the pair, says they aren't going to do anything.
Chucho quietly enters the Casa. Everyone is in bed except for Ez who is snoring loudly on a bench near the door. Chucho hears a creepy “ buenas noches “ out of the dark and turns around to find Ez sneaking up on him. Chucho says something and Ez says he doesn't have to ask what he is doing because Joven Alex told him that Chucho works for him. Chucho says oh, ok. Have you seen him? Ez says he is sure he's sleeping. Duh. Chucho says he'll just talk to him tomorrow. Ez looks exasperated and walks away. Doesn't he have a bed? I think it would be hard to get a good nights sleep on that little bench.
The next day Chucho comes back to the house and finds Alex waiting for him. Chucho says he got back late last night because he was talking to the girl and her brother that was sick. Alex wants to know if something happened. Alex thinks he looks worried. Alex wants to ask Chucho a favor. He gives Chucho a big wad of cash and admonishes him not to lose it. Chucho says he will stash it in his sock. Great idea. Is he even wearing socks? Alex wants to know if he knows when MJ and family will be taking the bus. Chucho says no. Pedro didn't tell him. Alex asks him if he knows the number and hands him the phone and asks him to find out.
Bruno is talking to Faux Mario on the phone. FM tells him that he has the new telephone number and gives it to Bruno who writes it down. He tells Bruno that Useless and Bobo were asking about him. Bruno wants to know what they told them. FM says nothing. Bruno wants to know where to bring the money. FM says to bring it to a store on the Plaza. FM says he was thinking of taking a vacation. (Yeah, with the fishes maybe if you don't get the hell out of Dodge.) Bruno says he'll be in touch. Bruno tells Pimp Daddy E that he needs to take the money to FM who is waiting on the Plaza. PDE wants to know how he will know who he is. Bruno tells him to call FM on his cell. Think! (What a Tard.) PDE tries to see what Bruno is writing. Bruno gives him the stink eye so Erik steps back. Bruno says that the stupid friend of your cousin gave back the money. How unfortunate.
PDE is walking down the stairs just as Chucho enters the room. Chucho calls him a dog and spits on the floor and grinds it into the floor with his foot. (Apparently that is some kind of insult.) Good thing Ez wasn't there. Chucho would be so busted. PDE gets mad and it looks like he and Chucho are about to go at it but Alex enters and wants to know what is going on. Damn! Spoiled sport. Chucho says nothing and calls PDE a mule. Alex asks PDE if he has problems with Chucho. PDE says no. He doesn't know what happened. Alex says he doesn't believe him. He thinks to himself that Chucho knows something. PDE says to himself, wait until I get him alone. Right. It looks to me like Chucho is old school and I'm guessing won't abide by the Marquess of Queensberry Rules.
Fer is leaving for work. Our HIT (heifer in training) wants her big brother to drop her off at the Lombardos. Fer gives her money to take a taxi. Miss High and Mighty is not happy with that situation at all. She wants to know why she can't use the car. She has stuff to do. She says she wants to go to a party with her friends. Fer says he's trying to protect her and why doesn't she study. Yeah, right! He tells her that Margarita will fix her something if she is hungry. ( Hey, how about this...Why doesn't she get her happy a$$ in there and make it herself. Just a thought.). Like an overly eager school boy Fer rushes out the door to meet Victoria for breakfast. The little snot slams down her drink and picks up the phone to call her new BFF Raquel.
MJ et al are at the bus station getting ready to board a bus back to their little town. Alex walks in and looks around. He sees MJ as she is boarding the bus. She hesitates and looks around for Alex but doesn't see him. He lets her get on the bus.
PDE is out doing the Devil's work and spies Super Mario (sorry, he makes me think of that stupid video game) sitting at a table. He sits down at the table and discretely slides a packet of money over to Mario. Next he goes to the boarding house and talks to the landlady. We see Bruno and PDE in split screens talking to each other. Bruno asks what intel does he have for him. PDE says he's on his way back.
Vicki and Felipa are coming down the stairs. Vicki is all giddy but trying not to show it . Felipa says the breakfast is just an excuse for Fer to see her. Vicki says don't make me more nervous than I already am. Oh, please! Felipa jokingly says I wonder why you are nervous? Just them Bruno appears like a black cloud on a sunny day. Where are you going all dressed up this morning he wants to know. Like it is any of his friggin' business. She says she is going to eat. He wants to make sure she is coming to the big meeting with all the attorneys today. He also wants to make sure she'll be helping him and she says she is but not in the way he wants. He starts in with the song and dance that he's exercising his rights. Vicki says you forget that those were the wishes of your father. He says he is not interested in the wishes of his father. She tells him that this is the last time he's going to talk like that about someone who was generous and good. Bruno gets in her face and says that he and Raquel were accidents. Hey, if the shoe fits... Drawing on her inner Gabriella she hauls off and smacks him. Oh snap! Did I just see what I thought I saw?< SMACK! What a beautiful sound. Viewerville is jumping up and down and throwing their beanies in the air saying it's about time! Needless to say, he looks a little stunned. She's had it and she's not going to listen to it any more. He's like, uh, that's the first time she's hit me. Felipa tells the little jerk that it's about time. He calls her stupid and stomps up the stairs. She follows him and says something I couldn't understand.
MJ and Pedro talking on bus about what they are going to do. Pedro thinks everything will work out ok FF>>
Alex is sitting at his desk reminiscing about MJ. We see flashbacks of when he first met MJ, the times they made love. He sheds a single, lonely tear.
Useless and Bobo are again doing what they do best—Nothing. Useless is questioning Bobo about the whole MJ/Alex fake marriage thing. How many times do they have to explain this to him. Really! He seems overly interested in it. Bobo asks him what's up with that? Useless looks thoughtful. And here I thought he was just constipated. Silly me!
Raquel is waiting for Katia at the gate and tells her to get a moo-ve on. They have places to go and people to see.
Useless is back at his house. He's talking to someone on the phone that I should know but don't. It looks like he is holding a dead mouse. (I know it's not but that is what it looks like.)
At the only restaurant in Merida, Fer and Vickie are eating. They are discussing Katia. She touches his hand, his face, Fer is all aquiver. Dun, dun, dun who should appear but, yep, you guessed it, Raquel and Katia. They look like a couple of cows caught in the headlights. They are so stunned neither one says a word. And that's quite an achievement for Raquel. Vicki looks up and quickly moves her hand away. The girls make the Ewwww face and turn tail and run. Fer wants to go after them. Vicki says no. We don't owe them an explanation. He tells her he loves her. She looks a little stunned. If she was 20 years old I might buy that look but since she's not she just looks ridiculous. He tells her she is so beautiful. She has a good soul and she's a free woman. He tells her that Alex knows how Fer feels about her. And he's ok with it. She leaves upset. He gets the check and follows her.
Raquel and Katia are having a drink to recover from their terrible shock. Raquel is going on about how terrible that was and the kind of person her mother is. Having children by another man. She is so ashamed. Well, at the rate she's going I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Seriously, get over it.
Victoria shows up at the Lombardo headquarters. She is crying. Mari has her go in to see Alex. Fer tries to talk to her. She doesn't want to talk to him right now. Alex is surprised to see her and wants to know why she is so upset. She tells him about what happened at the restaurant and that Fer says he loves her. Alex says it's ok. He knows all about it. If it makes her happy go for it. Don't worry about Bruno or Raquel. They will get over it. He's such a good son. Meanwhile Fer is berating himself for being so stupid.
Raquel can't wait to talk to Bruno to tell him the “good” news.
The big meeting begins. Team Bruno wants things divided evenly. It looks like things are about to be resolved when Bruno demands to be the president. His attorney tries to shut him up but to no avail. Alex says no way Jose, not going to happen. Bruno has a tantrum. Alex and Bruno face off. Oh, boy, here we go again.
Cut to MJ and family coming home. ZZZZZZZ FF>>
Back to our regularly scheduled fight—uh, meeting. Alex declares that he is the president and he's not giving it to Bruno. The doctor said that Sr. Lombardo was in his right mind when he made his Will and there was no reason to contest it in the first place. Bruno says give me the presidency or else. Fight, fight! Alex is beating the snot out of Bruno. I keep hoping he will smash his head through the glass table. But sadly, no.
Fer goes back home looking dejected. Katia shows up and starts berating her brother for his shameful display at the restaurant. Don't you just love it when a little heifer, still wet behind the ears, has the nerve to tell her older brother what to do. Shut.Up. Katia. He tells her he doesn't have to explain himself to her.
Back to the fight. Somehow, they've have managed to pull the two apart—again. But just like my dogs, all it takes is an ear twitch or a nose wiggle to get things going again. Herman says that if their father was alive he would be ashamed. Vicki 's had enough. She wants it to go in front of the judge. Looks like the old Vickster has grown a set or at least borrowed them from Fer. Cable blipped out here.
Victoria is back at the casa telling Felipa about the meeting and blames herself for everything. She tells Felipa that Fer told her he loves her. Felipa thinks it's about time.
MJ and family are eating and talking about their new life. MJ will find a job. She wants to take flowers to the cemetery tomorrow. Pedro looks uncomfortable. More cable issues.

Could someone post this for me? Thanks. I can't stand the Chucho/Hospital scenes so I FF. If someone wants to summarize those be my guest.
Great recap, Connie, and so fast, too!
I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to most of Chucho's scenes either. From what I can remember, I think the hospital scenes can mostly be summed up like this:
First hospital: Meche begs Chucho not to tell Mr Alex the truth because she's afraid he'll cancel all the hospital charges on his titanium credit card and then where will they be?? (Chucho didn't promise anything, he just looked worried. Does anyone else think that if Alex hadn't been asleep when Chucho got to the house, Chucho might have told him the truth?)
Second hospital: Chucho tells them he's thought about it and he's not going to say anything because everything seems to have worked out and Paula only got a scare is all. Oh, and he has to go away for a while. Meche and Gabriel are distressed -- they're afraid they'll never see him again. Chucho says he'll definitely come back if he can.
I think what Bruno actually said to Eric was that Eric's stupid friends cheated him because they kept his money even though they didn't do what he wanted. Eric pretends to be surprised and points out that they did do what Bruno wanted -- they went to make a statement. Bruno says that's NOT what he wanted. He wanted Paula to be locked up in jail, preferably for months. (Didn't Bruno originally tell Eric he wasn't trying to get Paula in trouble, just to use her to get MJ in trouble? I wonder if Eric's starting to understand that he would be much better off if he just left town now...)
The more I see of Vic's idiot boy toy's little sister, the less I like her, and I didn't like her when we met her. She is already making Maura look good. Well, less bad.
Vic hit Bruno! She hit him!! Usually I'm not a big fan of that, but in this case I'm happy to make an exception.
I love Felipa! Bruno still can't believe Vic slapped him but Felipa just says Vic should have done it a long time ago. Bruno calls her an old idiot. She follows him and says "Old, yes, but idiot -- no! Lunkhead!" Hahaha!
One of the things Oil Slick asked Roberto during their little chat was MJ's last names. Then, he called the same woman he'd called before, the one who was singularly inappropriately dressed for grooming a horse. (Her fashion sense has not improved, either.) He again asked about her daughter who could be MJ's twin. The woman again insists her daughter is studying in Europe. (Why don't I believe her?) Oil Slick asks her again to let him know if her daughter comes back early. The woman didn't seem all that happy to hear from Oil Slick and now is bored with having the same conversation with Oil Slick again. That is, until Oil Slick says the reason he's called is because the woman he mentioned before, MJ, has the same last names as the woman and her daughter -- could the three be related...? The woman hangs up but looks worried. So there we have it -- we're getting both the Not Actually Dead Mother AND the Secret Twin stories, and maybe the Twin Switch story as well. Yawn. Are there NO novela cliches we won't see?
Another clue that the HIT is an HIT (as if we couldn't tell from her picking Raquel as her BFF): Her awful taste in clothing. A burlap bag would have looked better than that... outfit.

Good morning Connie. Tagged it for you. Don't always get to see this show or read the recaps, but did this morning and you're such a natural. Recap flows beautifully and I loved the bit about your dogs/Bruno/Alex and all it takes is an ear twitch to get the fight started again. Perfect!
Connie, thanks for the fun recap. How do your dogs like Sorti? I remember something on MEPS used to cause them to bark!
Alex and Bruno have nothing left as brothers, if they ever did love/like each other. Seems like Alex would be eager to believe MJ about the key. MJ has made a lot of mistakes , but the one thing she's not is a " party girl". With all the rameras on the show, Alex thinks that the only old fashioned girl is trashy enough to meet some guy in his hotel room.
We need some farm animal names for all the up standing guys on the show!

Connie Connie Connie. I am only halfway through your most excellent recap, but I just read ''They look like a couple of cows caught in the headlights''...and I just lost it. Thankfully , I had already finished my morning glass of juice. You have a way with the words, girl. What a great way to start my day. Too funny. Thank you. Now back to our regularly scheduled program. I'll be back.

Hmmm...Sandy wants farm animal names for the guys...Stallion , Bull, Goose, Goat, Jackass, Pig. I don't think I have to tell anyone which farm animal goes with which character. Hey, Sortilegio is actually turning into Orwell's Animal Farm.

Hysterical recap. I am now wiping coffee off my laptop after reading HIT (Heifer in training). You always start my day making me laugh. Love it!
Victoria! The SLAP heard round the world! I about jumped off the couch and scared the cat yelling "It's about time!" I wondered how long she could take the abuse, though deserved, before just exploding. I guess a little love from Fer is all it took to make the light bulb go on. Bruno looked like someone who had the lollipop taken away and was told he's eating spinach from now on.
I agree about Katia...she seemed trouble from day one, but she's just a mini-me of Raquel, which is frightening in every aspect. Yep, she looks like a perfect match for Bruno and I'll bet that's where they are heading for sure.
As for Alex and Butthead, I swear those two really get into those fights. They must have a blast filming those scenes. but honestly boys, the playground fights were over years ago. Grow up already.
Was it wrong of me to not mind that there wasn't much with MJ and gang. ( Papa - what dastardly secret are you keeping. Mamita isn't in that cemetery is she?)
Victoria! The SLAP heard round the world! I about jumped off the couch and scared the cat yelling "It's about time!" I wondered how long she could take the abuse, though deserved, before just exploding. I guess a little love from Fer is all it took to make the light bulb go on.

Good morning everybody. Thanks for the great comments. Thanks for filling in more details Incog. I must have missed the episode with the woman that Useless called. Did anyone else think she sounded like a man? What was that thing HIT was wearing. Looked like a dress from the front some kind of shorts outfit from the back. Kind of like a mullett, business in the front, party in the back! It's too early for sure.
On FELS I'm trying to remember but wasn't there a dog that barked or something? It used to drive my dogs crazy and they would run around barking looking for the dog. Rainy likes to sit on my lap when I type the recap (Pitbull--not a lap dog) and Stormy either wants to go outside or wants to be fed. She will just stand and stare at me or bark at me until I get sick of it. You can tell who the pack leader is at my house! (Apparently, not me.)
Again I'm torn on Erik. Part of me wants to see Chucho pound him into the dirt but on the other hand he has been nice to Paula. Does anyone know what the insult thing means where he spit on the floor (gross) and ground it in with his foot?
I love to see Al and Burno get that look on their faces and then ...BAM...they are at each other and guys are trying to pull them apart. Does that make me a bad person. It is so great to watch. About those bloomers Kat was wearing...I think it was my old high school gym uniform.

I thought MJ looked more purposeful and at peace than she has in a long time in her own home, in her own kitchen, cooking, cleaning, making her plans to find herself a job. While Alex was crying his lonely tear remembering moments with MJ. She really needed to get out of that Casa de Crazies.
Yep, Papa Pedro definitely looked sketchy when MJ said she wanted them all to go to her mama's grave the next morning to pay their respects. Looking at Elena, and the buxom, deep voiced, attractive woman she is, it's hard for me to picture her having ever been with Pedro. But I can picture a woman like her leaving him!

Connie - thank you for the recap, and a great one it is! I missed this one, too. I appreciate your labors so that I'll stay up to date. My favorite line: "Just them Bruno appears like a black cloud on a sunny day. "
Well said.
Well, darn, I missed seeing Vicki smack Bruno. I would have loved that.
Usually there is one person in a 'novela that we hope is redeemable. Maybe Vicki is that person. I hope she'll put Bruno in his place one day. (note to Vicki: six feet under would be fine with me)
Sandy - the only gelding I can think of is Pedro. He is not a stallion, that's for sure. More like a burro . . .

Hola todos
I see Vicky only had herself to blame this time for the fight b/w Bruno and Alex seen MJ wasnt there and she refuses to blame Bruno even after he threaten her with public embarrasement. I hope shes finally starting to lose those blinders.
I must say she shocked the heck out of me with that slap.
If see continues on this path i may be force to start liking her again.
MJ seems to be queit happy about being back in her elements where things can return to the way they were. Did she forget she has a Bun in the Oven and things will never be the same.
One of Fernando Balls seem to have finally descended hopfully he'll have a pair b/4 this show ends

Many thanks, Connie, for this great recap. You have certainly made it into the top ranks of recap stars in your short tenure. I was snorting and choking on coffee at the comments about Fake Mario's "vacation with the fishes" remark and with Raqui telling Katia to get a "moo-ve on." Wonderful!
After yesterday's interesting diatribe from many of us about Vicky (and I was one of the bashers), I do have to say that she almost has me back on her side with "the slap heard 'round the world" (good one Daisynjay) and her boardroom defense of Alex's presidency. Good start, Vicky! Now, drop the hand-wringing and self blaming and stay the course.
I also thought her performance as a woman conflicted by her feelings over Nando was believable. I even have to say that Nando, poor blank Nando, showed more emotion in his restaurant scene with Vicky than I have ever seen from that actor.
Did anyone think that Paula, as well as Pedro, had that funny pained look when MJ mentioned her mom's grave? Pedro's look was clear; Paula not so much. DH thought Paula might be in on the secret?

Is it possible that Pedro isnt MJ Papa. MJ appears to be the odd one out in their family Pedro and Paula are both short while MJ is tall and she really looks nothing like Paula not even the hair color (usually a way to connect characters.
maybe she has more in common with Bruno and Requal than we realize.

I think Paula was just exchanging looks with MJ about their father seeming so affected by the request to go to the grave- not Paula exchanging looks with Pedro. Obviously, this has always been a sensitive subject in this household on Pedro's part.

Ebony- Could be that MJ and Sandra are not Pedro's. An interesting theory. But then, who is their daddy? And does that mean that Elena got together with Pedro while she was preggers by someone else, had the twins, then had Paula with Pedro, and then left Pedro with one twin and Paula?
I aksed this before and not sure if I saw an answer, what other recent novelas has the long-lost-twin appeared in? I've not seen that plot before in latin novelas, but I have in US soaps. Yes, the long-lost (presumed dead) parent seems to happen in all novelas.

Why is the spacing so weird in the recap? It didn't look like that when I entered it. It looks like I have too much space between lines.
Connie you're a little bloodthirsty huh. Wanting Alex to slam Bruno head through the glass table, well i confess i wanted it too.
I thought Paula look was like Pedro too uncomfortable with the subject about their mother. I thought Paula was looking at Pedro when MJ suggested they all go put flowers at their mother's grave.
Now for Vicki it's about DAMN time and like Felipa said long over due.
Perhaps if you had discipline this horror you gave birth too when he was little the result s could have been different.
Let me stressed saying could have been. Bruno probably would be bad anyway but at least you could have tried.
Finally you admitting why Bruno and Raquel are like that is your fault. Yes and keep that train of thought too.
When you choose to give birth to your twins knowing full well Samuel was not their birth father. Your first duty as a mother was to tell the truth.
Especially when you came back and married their real father. Vicki has selfishly put herself and wants first before her children.
It's time this reality of her fault in all of this is realized by her. Time to descend from the planet of Vicki and come back to earth.
This alternate reality of Vicki she made up about her being a great mother was just as fictional as one of the stories she writes.
The only one who needs your support right now is Alex. You know the one who supports you and your two miserable twins.

Didn't we see the bus scene in CCEA when MC left JM. Only difference this time Alex saw MJ get on the bus and leave.
These writers are not exactly original are they?

this is only the 4th novela that I have seen so, Im not aware of any with the long lost twin. Im hoping that Sandra isnt a twin but a sibling who just looks like her. Paula and MJ could have different Moms although Pedro do seem to be still mourning for his wife but I'm not sure if thats the same person as MJ mom. Maybe there was a second wife (ie Paula 's mom who died but MJ was raised to believe that It was her mom also)
anythings possible in Sortyland

There was one show that had a good twin and an evil twin but I think they were aware of each other. One of them had a patch I think.
Oh,Connie:
What a marvelous recap!
Twins! Long lost Mommies!
Right now I have an image of MJ's twin walking around with a patch on her eye, and a peg leg. LOL!
I think Chucho might have told Alex the truth if ever-vigilant Eze had not headed him off at the pass last night.
And, somebody tell me, why does everyone lie to Alex???

Thanks for the recap, Connie, very snarky, very funny, I loved it.
I think it's notable that Vicki not only slapped Bruno, but in the meeting, she said that Antonio's wishes will be respected, and she'll fight to uphold the Will, despite any public scandal.
I think the producers make a lot of conscious choices about whether the ladies wear heels. Raquel towered over Katia, since Katia was wearing flats, and Raquel heels. Maybe this was to show Katia's still a kid.
They've also done this with MJ and Paula, although BOTH were wearing heels for the bus trip and the walk through town, which I thought was silly. How comfortable can that be? (not speaking from experience, of course).
Speaking of the rich guy watching the poor girl leave on the bus to go back to the pueblo, they had it on Destilando Amor, too, with Rodrigo and Gaviota (I think this happened twice).

Peregrina also had twins. Roldolfo and Anibal remember. Peregrina didn't find out until way later about Roldolfo.

Hombre, wedges are more comfortable than heels but it would still hurt to walk on them for a long time. Ouch.
Thanks or a terrific and enjoyable recap Connie. I love your style. You have a way of explaining what's happening in the capitulo while filling in with humourous names & tid bits about the actors. In other words, it's not written in a way that's 90% dissing the actors and 10% what actually happened in the episode.

Great recap, Connie! I think we FF all the same scenes. Anon, add me to the blood-thirsty list. Slap from Victoria was also priceless.
Just thought I'd state the obvious and say damn I love Alex. I actually liked the scene with Alex and Victoria. Moving performance, Levy. He had that beautiful, depressed smile and man, where do you find that? Daddy, can you get me one of those?
LOL. Sadly though, it's the beginning of separation between MJ and Alex. I hope it doesn't last too long...
Speaking of time duration, I think in the avance, MJ said she was 3 months pregnant. That should help figuring how much time has passed since the show began, Stephe.

Vivi: Long lost twins in novelas are not that common, but it does happen. Usually, that's the central plot of the novela, like in "La Usurpadora" or "La Otra". It's been a while since televisa used the twin plot but Telemundo recently had "El Rostro de Analía" with William Levy's partner Elizabeth Gutierrez.
Introducing the twin after the plot has already developed like in the case of Sortilegio has only happened twice on the novelas I've seen (or remember): The first was in "Valentina" from 1993, when that novela got too long and the leading man Juan Ferrara wanted out so the producer decided to marry the main couple and had them murdered outside the church, then he got Guillermo Capetillo and the writers invented a long lost twin to the protagonist so that the novela could continue. The other novela was "La Intrusa" with Gaby Spanic in 2001, the problem here was that the lead had become too stupid and unlikeable so the writers invented a much more strong twin and killed the protagonist so that the twin would become the new lead whil still having the same actress.
What happened in La Intrusa is not common at all. When a lead actor does not work for a novela what they do is that they introduce a new character with a better actor to take the lead or make a lead out of one of the supporting characteres, I've seen that happening every once in a while. In La Intrusa, Gaby Spanic was working, the problem was her character.
But apparently, in Sortilegio, Maria Zarattini had planned Sandra since before they started taping. This is a new addition to the story since there was no twin on the earlier versions.

Incog, The more I see of Vic's idiot boy toy's little sister, the less I like her, and I didn't like her when we met her. She is already making Maura look good. Well, less bad.
LOL, I agree.
A few of you also remarked on MJ being happy back home, which I noticed too, but I'm bothered by it. I don't want her to be so cheery while Alex is the condenado. She's not planning on returning, and Alex is playing detective to prove her innocent so he can bring her back. I gotta say though, she holds up a lot better than he does. He's shattered and everyone sees it, and she's acting like everything is normal. What can I do though, I want it to be the other way around.

Cielo de Levy that well deserved slap was so long over due to that monster of hers. So happy Felipa did say that to him too. Vicki even called him a monster.
Now she needs to stay the course with both of the twins.Especially Bruno and if i'm Alex i'm sure he has records of how much money he's been doling out to both of Vicki's leeches through out the years.
They want to take it to court, he should bring up how much money both have spent and used up to now. I can guarantee both of them would probably be laughed out of the courtroom.
That's why Bruno lawyers are trying to get the idiot to settle for what Alex is offering them right now. Bruno being the narcissistic idiot he is thinks he deserves the presidency because he's Antonio first born child.
Doesn't matter that he's not qualified to run the company nor earned the right. That's why Antonio chose Alex instead because Alex earned the right.
Antonio wanted someone competent to run his company and not have it bankrupt within a few years. Carry on the good Lombardo name associated with the construction business and the good policies he had set.
Bruno gave Antonio too many bad examples of how he didn't take his studies seriously and eventually got expelled from college.
How he treated his step brother and the people who worked for them.
His over all sense of entitlement that he did not have to work hard for what should be his.
Antonio made the right choice, Vicki and her bloodsucking leeches should be grateful he did that. If he didn't they would not be in the position that they are today.

Also, I loved how Chucho snapped at Erick. That was great. I wish Chucho would've told Alex the truth though. But like everyone else, he doesn't.

Great recap, Connie. Well written with just the right amount of snark!
Bruno isn't very smart. He starts off at Casa Lombardo asking mami to help him at the meeting to discuss the will. Instead of buttering her up he gets all vicious about the love of her life, his real father. That pretty much sealed the deal for Vicki. LOVED the slap. And how dumb was that to bring up the (innocent, really) lunch with Fernando to insult his mother in front of the whole room.
I may be wrong, but I thought Katia asked Fernando to buy her a car, not loan him his. If what I remember is true, that's a stunning disconnect from reality. You get expelled from school and ask to be rewarded with a car???
Yes, Pedro looked very guilty when the subject of visiting dead mom's grave came up. I'm completely sure it's the woman who hung up on Ulises.
Thanks, Jarocha for giving us the rundown on twin plots. I saw La Usurpadora when they re-ran it on Telefutura. I also saw the first couple of episodes of the one with Cesar Evora, with the bad twin with an eye patch. Can't remember the name of it. I stopped watching.

Cielo de Levy when Chucho came in last night he was debating with himself whether he should tell Alex the truth.
When Ezeke told him Alex was sleeping i guess it gave him more time to think it was best he didn't tell Alex what had really happen that night with Paula's accident.
Chucho first loyalty should be to Alex though, i can understand why he wants to help Meche and Gabriel. The fact is Paula was being accused of hit and run is serious.
Not to mention that he knows it's a lie the person he saw get up and running away was not Gabriel. He knows Pimp Daddy E and Bruno are involved which is vital info Alex needs to hear.
Either Chucho was putting a curse on Pimp Daddy E when he saw him next. Or he was telling him he worth nothing more than spit.
I like either scenarios with that. I don't think Pimp Daddy E can be redeemed like so many are speculating. I do believe he has a crush on Paula though but Paula does not or never fell the same about him like he does her.
I think that's the reason he went against Bruno and had Gabriel say it was too dark for him to see who hit him. Wait until Paula finds out the truth.
We all think Paula is already a firecracker now. I still laugh at the scene where she's telling Bruno off at the tree and the look on Bruno's face when she's walking away from him.

Novelera you are giving some of these characters too much credit that they are connected with reality. When so far by what we have been shown is their in a universe of their own making.
List.
1. Victoria selfish mother who put her own wants and needs before her children. Selfish tried desperately to keep the affair with Antonio under wraps. Believes she should be nominated for mother of the year.
2. Bruno everything that Alex has should be his, does not want to share his mother love with a outsider. See Antonio and Alex.
3. Raquel for gossiping about her famuliy all the time to anyone and everyone. Then has the nerve to say MJ family is bringing down the Lombardo name. Now talks about her mother's affair with Antonio, excuse me heifer but aren't you having a affair yourself now? She would really do well as a gossip columnist.
4.Ferdumbo for enabling Victoria with lies of being a great and perfect mother.
5. Maura She believes she was born to be Alex Lombardo"s wife and she deserves it because of her social status.
6. MJ because she doesn't understand why Alex didn't trust her.
7. Pimp Daddy E believing he has a chance with Paula.
8. Katia believing she can hang out like team Mexitrash, but does not have the same financial resources. Then expects dear brother Ferdumbo to foot the bill.
Now for those who are grounded and know their shortcomings.
1. Felipa great companion and good sage advice. Told Bruno last night yeah i maybe old but i am not a idiot like you. That's my girl.
2. Pedro even though he's failed at being a father, and he can't support them like he wants and should. he wants the best for of them.
3. Chucho the loves his beer and he not afraid to stand up and say what's right and wrong. Knows more than he thinks.
4.Useless knows he's a gigolo and uses it to his advantage.
5. Roberto maybe i should have made him number one in this category. Quite proud he doesn't work and lives off his wife through his brother in law. he needs to get off that fence though, pick a side Roberto.

I like the idea of a curse. Considering Chucho's background that would make sense. No matter what it was a big insult that's for sure.
LOL from what I remember, Chucho said something along the lines of: Perro! Eres un hijo/maldito de some-kinda-negative word--madre!
LOL, the spitting had just the right affect too. I'm gonna have to back and catch the exact wording. :-)

According to my HW (husband wannabe) he said that what Chucho said was basically like saying Mother f--er in English.
Oh my, wouldn't want to add that to my dictionary, would I? ;-)
btw, anyone know what Bruno said exacly to get Alex to punch him...i thought it was something about Victoria, but I'm not sure.

Wow, Cielo, good catch on Chucho's wording. My sister bought me a book last year called 'Shakespeare's Insults". it ia a compilation of insults that Shakespeare put in the mouths of his characters.
If we play the game 'Telenovela Insults', recording ONLY insults said by a telenovela character, Chucho's insult is first. My nomination for the day is Barbara's to Damien, "Inepto"!

Haha, Elna, what can I say--I have an ear for interestingly worded insults. lol those shakespeare ones are great!
Loved the recap Connie. Who is the mystery woman that Useless was talking too? He said something to her and she hung up on him. Could she be MJ's not so dead mother perhaps? Not a spoiler, just wondering. How many fights have Alex and Bruno had now? I've lost count. It seems every other day they have a fight. Different day new bruise. I hope Chucho will tell Alex what he knows before Bruno gets to him. I think he can handle Erick though LOL.

Thanks for the recap Connie. I'm so glad you used HIT; I giggled when I saw it.
Add me to the list of those who were amazed and surprised Vicki actually slapped Bruno. Now if she only can stay on track and realize the multiple facets of her first son's wickedness.
Yes Katia looks like she's on the wrong side. Roberto really needs to become a good guy b/c there are too many bad ones.
Papa Pedro looked really guilty when MJ talked about going to the grave. And through Useless we know that the long lost twin and "your mother isn't really dead" plots are just around the corner.
Cielo - Most of the characters do lie to Alex. The good people are usually trying to protect him (though in reality it would be better to tell Alex). The bad ones are messing with him. Though Alex may get mad when the good ones lie, he ability to forgive them makes him a good guy. Regarding MJ, he's in love and while that doesn't justify him being an idiot its understandable.

Karen, ITA. Alex gets pissed off like crazy, but he can forgive people he loves despite what they do to him.
Pirate babe, lol I'm sure Chucho can handle Erick as well.

Connie, just noticed you said, "My HW (husband wanna be).". Haha very funny.

Timeline:
-MJ is three months pregnant.
-MJ and Alex had sex the first time about a month into meeting each other, which happened some days or a week or so after the wedding to fake Alex. Meaning that our story started (and our lovers met) 4 months ago in Sorti time.
-3 motnhs prior to that, Bruno (fake Alex) met and began his whirlwind courtship of MJ. So she has know Bruno 7 months.

novelera said I may be wrong, but I thought Katia asked Fernando to buy her a car, not loan him his. If what I remember is true, that's a stunning disconnect from reality. You get expelled from school and ask to be rewarded with a car???
That's what I thought I heard, too, novelera. Little sis obviously got an extra-generous helping of self-delusion genes. I'm not sure the "in training" part of her nickname really applies -- she seems to already be long past needing any training.

I saw the novela in which Cesar Evora played twins [a good guy and a crazed bad guy with an eye patch]. It was Mundo de Fieras. Edith Gonzales was also crazy bad , but not as crazy bad as she was in Dona Barbara.

I was going to ask what Katia did to get EXPELLED from a US college...because that's not so easy to do. Drop out? Yes. Fail out? Yes. Get expelled? What did you do, girly?
But then later on I think I heard Katia say something about parties and somebody showing up to sell drugs and the college busted them and expelled them. Katia's @$$ might have gotten deported from the EU.

Vivi: Thanks for the timeline.It really helps!
Incog and Novelera: Katia's attitude really puzzled me too. I thought that I mis-heard when she asked Fernono for a car.HUH?
And, Anon: What would a young woman have to do to be expelled from University? I can think of one thing off the top of my head: getting caught cheating.

Do I understand correctly, that Gabriel's sister returned the money, minus a little to Erik, but he hasn't returned it to Bruno?
And I still don't understand why Chucho showed up at the hospital in the first place, maybe I missed it in the discussion yesterday. It seems he just left Alex & goes to the hospital for no explained reason.

Cielo, I'm unhappy about the separation too. Several times MJ has said she just wanted peace. Maybe in her heart of hearts she knows that Casa Lombardo is no place for a healthy pregnancy, she's protecting her little baby Alex who doesn't need to be in Casa Loca.

Regarding the likely Lost Twin plot, didn't someone say that Carla asked Jacquie B to lose some weight for this role? This is not a spoiler since I don't know what happens, but it's always seemed odd to me that anyone would want a woman like JB, who is already slender to start with, to lose weight to the point where she looks almost painfully thin. From what I've seen of the MJ role so far, it doesn't seem as if MJ has to be tall, short, dark, blonde, whatever, so why ask JB to lose weight, especially since MJ is pregnant? But now that a Lost Twin plot looks pretty certain, I'm thinking the weight loss isn't to play MJ but to play Sandra. Also, Elena just doesn't seem to be telling the truth when she keeps insisting to Oil Slick that Sandra is studying in Europe. What if Sandra is actually sick and Elena is covering it up for some reason?

Sandy, it is a horrible place to be pregnant isn't it...Casa Lombardo is definetely no place for a child who wants a safe childhood...if Bruno were taken out, it would be even a little more tolerable, but with that maldito around, horrid. I wish victoria would let Alex kick Bruno out...
Hope the separation lasts only a few days. I hate to see episodes that are just loaded with flashbacks of a happier time.

You may be on to something Incog. But also, I'm not seeing where this whole twin theory will get us. Competition for Alex? A little money grubber? Hmmmm....
Sandy and Cielo:
I think Casa Lombardo would be a terrible place to be pregnant and a worse one to raise a child. All that anger!
Better for MJ to have some peace in the blue and yellow apartment and take care of herself and the baby. Maybe, when she and Alex reconcile, they can move to their own house as he suggested ot her once before.

Cielo, I hate sad flashbacks too. Even when I'm watching a really goofy show, I shed a tear at sad flashbacks. To make matters worse, I listen to country music and "Here Comes Goodby" or "Tonight I Wanna Cry", fits the Alex /MJ story ....They need to get back soon!

Variopinta said Do I understand correctly, that Gabriel's sister returned the money, minus a little to Erik, but he hasn't returned it to Bruno?
That's what I understand. And really, in Eric's place and knowing Bruno the way Eric does, would YOU give him the money back? The mood Bruno's in these days and especially Paula didn't get locked up the way Bruno wanted her to be, that's like asking to be killed and to have his friends killed as well.

BUT does ANYONE know why Chucho showed up at the hospital????????

Since he knows Meche, I just figured she or someone told Chucho about Gabriel getting his legs operated on during one of the times I wasn't watching. Was there a scene where someone told him?

There have been several comments about Katia being expelled from college. That's what I thought happened also. But in one of the later scenes with Fernando, I thought he said something about sending her to a "prepa" in Mexico.
I don't know this for absolute fact, but in TNs the prepa is usually a private high school. So I think Katia may be still high school age.
Re Chucho in the hospital, I'm not sure about this, but I thought Chucho went to look for Meche to see how she was doing, also on behalf of Pedro who couldn't go. You will recall they became fast friends the night of the big bar fight! He then found out she wasn't there and the gabby pair (male gabby cousin of Erick) told him where Meche and Gabriel were.

I agree with MJ wanting to bring her child up in a peaceful and serene environment. Isn't Ruffino pissed off with Pedro and don't you think bvy them going back to their old place is not really smart.
I think Alex incentive now is to prove MJ innocence. That is was Bruno along who been plotting against him and MJ with team Mexitrash.
Alex wants to show Vicki with irrefutable proof how bad and evil Bruno is and what lengths he will go to, for him to get his way. Now he could use this info to either tell Vicki that Bruno can longer stay at the house no matter what.
Just support him when it comes time to go to court with the case.
Alex realizes now he acted hasty in throwing out MJ but in his defense with his best friend and i use that term loosely with Vicki's idiot boy toy. Telling everyday he's being tricked and used by MJ.
Vicki's and her luke warm response and team Mexitrash add in. What's he suppose to think, include MJ lies and half truths. He could have thrown her out that night.
I thought Meche told Chucho about Gabriel was going to have the operation maybe i missed that part.

If Maria Jose were still at the mansion and pregnant, Burno would probably toss her down the Escaleras of Doom:
Maria Jose pregnant with Alex baby = Alex Jr. getting the money.
If there's an Alex Jr. around, it wouldn't matter if Alex died or not because the money would then go to Alex Jr./Maria Jose.
~~I will figure~~

Anon, very true. The problem with Pedro is essentially the same problem with Paula. They want to be taken care of, which for Paula, I can even understand. She is young. But pedro, he needs to be more responsible.
Anon "i will figure", Bruno is definetely capable of what you describe, but his efforts have failed a bunch of times. Like someone before said, I am also tired of seeing Bruno try one thing after another to ruin things. I think our hero Alex can actually save her from that. He just can't trust her, but save, he will no matter what.

That's why I believe since Alex knows she's pregnant he wants to prove Bruno guilty of the plotting to have him killed. The Mario Aguirre scheme and Paula's hit and run.
I think he wants to give all of that to Vicki to either get him out of the house, just get her to finally support him unconditionally on how to deal with Bruno.
Right now she runs and tells Bruno everything like her boy toy tells her everything that Alex says to him.
Oh by the way i am so surprise said boy toy didn't open his big fat trap and spill the beans about MJ being pregnant. Let's see how long it will last though.
Gotta go ENDA is coming on.

I am thinking that the writers are more interested in making their protagonist the best and most hateful for award time. More time is spent with the protagonist doing horrible things one after the other, while we lose the gist of the initial plot. This novela is getting to be more about alex and bruno then alex and mj. Manama para siempre had the protagonist and so did Destilano and it seems that the protagonists just gets worse and worse. This bruno is downright hateful, not only in deeds but his expressions. He is one miserable dude. He comes across as a manic (Maybe Bipolar II), who is full of hateful energy and lashes out and causes trouble with everyone he comes in contact with. Everything upsets him.

A late hello, mates. Mama had multiple doctor appointments today and a gazillion errands after that. But it's all good. Bless you for the great recap, Connie! I haven't had the chance to see the episode yet, oh but I will from the looks of what you've reported. Thanks for that and for the wit, girl.
What I'm looking forward to seeing:
Old school Chucho and his lack of Marquess de Queensberry Rules. LMAO (oh, you about killed me with THAT one)
Alex not letting MJ see him mooning after her again--yay!
The SMACK heard 'round the world.
Pobrecito Al shedding a tear for his lost love. I know, it's rough, honey. Just be patient.
Another Rumble in the Bronx! Yay!! Alex 3:16 says I just whooped your @ss!
MJ wants to visit Mrs. Pedro's grave? Ruh-roh! Better get to thinking fast, Papi, yo.
What I'm not looking forward to seeing:
Useless looking mighty constipated.
Isn't Raquel a little long in the tooth to be BFFs with a young HIT like Katia? (I'm probably just irritated bacause she's going to be such a bad influence on an already rotten egg.) And what's with the five-year-old behavior, as if your mama should be a freakin' nun for the rest of her life? Dang, Raq, it is ridiculous just how much you suck.
Vicky walks OUT on Ferdumbo when he finally bares his soul? Wow. Is everybody acting five-years-old tonight? LOL!
Well, I'm off to read comments and watch the episode. Laters. :)

LOL, bye Anon. I agree. Fernando is getting a little smarter in regards to telling Vicki things, though it's hard for me to forgive him for his past stupidity. He probably wants Bruno to be away so he wont affect Katia as well.
I can't help wondering...yesterday Victoria didn't try to clear anything up with Raquel at the restauraunt and she didn't let Fernando clear anything with his sister. If it were Bruno who saw them, she would indeed have took the trouble to talk to him...why don't I sense any love for Raquel on Victoria's part...Maybe I'm thinking too hard because actually, Bruno would probably approach the couple at the restauraunt if he same them anyways. She would have to respond.

The main reason there's a trust issue between them is how they met. She was posing as his wife and acting like he knew her but forgot because of his accident.
Alex really did give her the benefit of doubt. Then she and her family ran off with Bruno, when Alex finally thought they had reach an understanding in their relationship.
MJ has let down Alex too many times and while her reasons too protect her family are valid too.
Once she accepted the physical side of their relationship and accept Alex as her husband. Her first priority should be Alex first, then Papi and material sis Paula. Not the other way around, only thing i may have a little issue with Alex is his jealousy but once again that goes back to his rivalry with Bruno.

~~I will figure~~ said If there's an Alex Jr. around, it wouldn't matter if Alex died or not because the money would then go to Alex Jr./Maria Jose.
That just reminded me that right before the WWE fight in the conference room last night, Bruno's attorney was saying an equal 50/50 split between Bruno and Alex, so Raquel immediately said no, she's talking an equal three-way split between her, Bruno, and Alex. Someone else (maybe Hernan??) said no, if we're talking about all of Antonio's heirs then it has to be a four-way split: Alex, Bruno, Raquel, and Vic. Then Alex jumped in and said no, actually, that would be five ways, because MJ is an heir now, too.
It's just classic that Bruno is so completely self-absorbed it seems not to have occurred to him that anyone other than Alex might try to fight him for a share of Antonio's money.
Incog

Anon 8:00, ITA. This novela seems Alex and Bruno than Alex and MJ sometimes.
Stephe, I kno you'll get it after you read the comments, but MJ was talking about her mother's grave.

Connie said: What was that thing HIT was wearing. Looked like a dress from the front some kind of shorts outfit from the back. Kind of like a mullett, business in the front, party in the back!
OMG there are tears coming out of my eyes. I have lost it. ROFLMAO

Ok this is for reals this time my last post you're cutting into my novelas child.
Cielo de Levy, Vicki does not love anyone of her children like she loves Bruno. Plus he knows it, that's why he acts like he does.
Haven't you seen how many times she told Raquel if she didn't like how things were she can leave and support herself and her dead beat husband too.
This is Vicki order of who has the most importance in her life.
1. Vicki herself.
2. Bruno
3. Alex
4. Felipa
5. Ferdumbo
6. Raquel
7. Vicki herself again
So for her Raquel is an afterthought.

Connie, the dog on FELS would be Mariachi, who belonged to the young adopted Reyes kid.
Yeah, what susanlynn said... the good twin/bad twin with an eye patch was on Mundo de Fieras (which I didn't get to watch, drats), but I don't think either one of them was long-lost.
Elna June said: And, somebody tell me, why does everyone lie to Alex??? Honestly, Elna June, that is the question, ain't it? He's had his face lied to more times than the Pope. But oh, of course he's supposed to just shrug it off, let it go, though other people won't let their issues go, sheesh...
El Bruno and A-rod have had six fights now. Heheheh.
Katia does seem more high schooly than collegy, for sure. Which makes her association with Raquel that much more icky. I can bet you dollars to donuts El Bruno just may be getting himself some of that.

Can someone please tell me if this the norm for Carla Estrada's productions?
I have never seen a more poorly edited and audio quality novela like this in my entire lifetime.
Throw in the House that Skittles built which is casa Lombardo and Barbie's playhouse mansion Maura's house. The pink fridge from hell.
The bad wardrobe choices on top of all that. What ever was this woman thinking?
Please, Please tell me she not adding more villains to this show already.
Hello Carla enough villains o.k. Sheesh.

I'm going to start calling Pedro "Piedro", like in a pebble in my shoe, because he annoys me on that same level and is just as useless.
Connie - I spent all yesterday trying to recall Mariachi's name. All that would come to mind was "I Juan-a-Brain." How sad is that? (LOL) That dog and Capricio were the two most intelligent characters in FELS.
Someone suggested Bruno might be bi-polar with his rage attacks. Possibly, but where are the manic times? I don't know enough about all that to know. I just call him plain "nuts."

doris. People with bipolar II are more miserable and agitated for their manic states. He has the energy. He is never calm cool and collectef. He is hyper and irritable.
