Sortilegio - Wed Nov 25 - EP 36 - Sangre Is Expensive!

Capitulo 41

Victoria is talking to Fernando on the the phone when Katia comes down and listens. She hears Fernando say he is worried about her. Katia asks if he was talking to Victoria.

Maura comes to Useless to tell him about Katia and Bruno and Katia being a minor. They toast.

Roberto tells Rachel how MJ needs blood and it is only Bruno that can give it.

Victoria asks Felipe if she thinks the child is Ales. "Of course" Victoria goes of on one of her rants. Rachel interrupts and Rachel and Victoria argue. Rachel doesn't think Bruno should do anything for those low life people. Victoria is on Rachel about how she doesn't care about what Ale and MJ are going through, that how can she not care that MJ and the baby could die? Victoria doesn't want to fight.
Victoria has been talking to Felipe about Bruno being a monster, and Victoria tells Rachel she is a monster too!. Rachel replies "What did you excpect? Mama, we are the product of adultery." she leaves.

Victoria cries. "What do I do? Felipe, What do I do?" Felipe replies that Rachel is medio
chiflado. Half Crazy.

Rachel calls Bruno and tells him not to do it. Bruno in a taxi with Hernan, and he answers that he is going to do it.

Moon rising. Is this the first moonrise in this show?

Ale is at MJ's bedside crying, talking, saying that help is coming. He is with her and reminds her of their trip to Cenote where they made love in the caves. He would like to build a house for them on the ocean where their children can run on the beach. He is crying and saying "no me dejes" " Don't leave me please!" MJ heavily opens her eyes and closes them again.

Arturo is outside Useless's window where he must be waiting for Rachel. He checks the name on the mailbox and as he thinks about it he has a laugh to himself. Chuckle, Chuckle.

Inside Rachel is with Useless ranting about the blood again. Useless shuts her up with his mouth. Enough said!

Hernan and Bruno arrive at the hospital. Hernan goes off to talk to the Doctor.

Pedro thanks Bruno for coming to help. Bruno walks away.

Pedro tells Paula to tell get Ale. Ale asks Paula to stay stay with MJ. Pedro points out Bruno to Ale.
Ale thanks Bruno for coming. Bruno asks how she is and and Ale says bad. Bruno asks how does Ale know the baby isn't Brunos. Ale says all the more reason for Bruno to help. Bruno says he is not doing this for free. Ale asks Bruno what he wants. Bruno tells Ale he wants him to divorce MJ and give him the presidency. Ale says he can have the presidency but they, Ale and MJ don't want a divorce. Bruno says that that doesn't matter, those are his conditions. Ale tries to talk some humanity into Bruno, but the doctor comes for Bruno, and Ale accepts the conditions. Bruno swaggers after the doctor after reminding Ale not to talk about this to Victoria. Chucho asks Ale whats wrong but Ale says nothing. Chucho goes off a bit, but I didn't catch it.

Ale is talking on the phone with Victoria and she asks Ale if there were any problems with Bruno and Ale says no. They say good night.

Felipe says something about Bruno and Victoria goes off that Bruno is doing something good and people only want to see him as a monster.

Felipe gets Cucu and leaves.

Felipe is outside when Arturo brings Rachel home. Felipe asks Arturo where they were and Arturo doesn't want to answer because he is discrete for his patron. Arturo has a squeaky toy for Cucu.

The doctors have gotten the sangre from Bruno and are on there way to MJ and Ale tries to follow, but Hernan has him sit in the waiting room.

Ez and Felipe are eating something in the kitchen. Felipe is telling EZ how Arturo would not tell her where they had been. Cucu is liking shoestrings.

At the hospital Chucho is asking if Pedro wants a beer or if he and Paula want something to eat? They say no.

Back at Casa Lombardo, Fernando is pulling in the drive. He walks right up the door and lets himself in. I thought the gate guy always called EZ. Speaking of...

EZ has Arturo in the kitchen for interrogation where he squeezes out that Rachel visited Useless. The phone is ringing.. oh I guess Tomas is calling. EZ leaves and we see that Felipe has been listening to the conversation. Felipe goes into the kitchen to rib Arturo. Arturo is worried now, cause he needs the work, his mother is sick and needs medicines. Felipe tells him she is just joking with him.

The coctors are giving MJ the transfusion. Hernan is checking her pulse and eyes. The doctors look at the chart.

Back at Lombardo house Fernando and Victoria kiss. She is nervous. They talk about Ale, Bruno, Mario Aguirre, and, Victoria asks about Katia.

The doctors come out and tell Ale that they are done with the transfusion. They will see tomorrow how MJ responds. Ale says this night has been biggest of his life. Ale asks the doctor if he could go see MJ and the doctor says that it would be ok. Hernan and Ale talk but the noise is to loud I can't make out the words. Ale thanks Hernan. Hernan calls Victoria and tells her they have completed the transfusion. Hernan tells her everything is okay but he says somethings is going on that he doesn't like. Viewerville does not hear what Hernan tells Victoria but, watches as Victoria sucks in her stomach. Victoria thanks Hernan for his help and hangs up.

Music plays loudly, drowning out Fernando and Victoria's conversation.

Ale is at MJ's bedside. In come Paula, Pedro and Chucho. Paula tells Ale that MJ is stable and he could leave. Ale says no. Pedro whispers good night to MJ and gives her a blessing. They all say good night and leave. Ale sits back down and violins play. Ale sees MJ open her eyes and says "hey beautiful!" Ale tells MJ she is recuperating and the baby is okay too. MJ is grateful and wants to know who it was that gave her blood. MJ drifts back into sleep and Ale says nothing is going to separate them.

Next day, Fernando brings Katia to la officina to work. He introduces her to Mari, who says shes got papers to file and Katia is looking at her like "right". Fernando wishes Katia luck and leaves. Mari is trying to give Mari some work but Katia isn't even listening. Katia wants to know where Bruno's office is? Mari tells Katia that Bruno doesn't have an office here. Katia finally leaves and Mari looks like she gets this girl.

Lisette and Maura are talking about Bruno.

Ale is talking to Fernando on the phone. They are taking about the on ongoing investigation of all the events of the crash and the photo etc. Ale tells Fernando that the conditions for Bruno donating blood was for Ale to give up the presidencia and divorce MJ. Fernando asks if he is CRAZY. Ale says don't tell my Madre.

Victoria is having breakfast when Bruno gets home. She is giddy to tell him what a good deed he did.

Ale gets back to the hospital where Pedro tells him that MJ is much better.

Ale enters MJ's room and says "Good morning my love, how are you doing?" MJ says fine, she is much better. Ale says he is taking her back to Merida. MJ doesn't want to. Ale tells her it will only be till he can find another house for her. MJ wants to know who gave her blood, who gave her life? Ale is sick. "What's wrong?" MJ asks. MJ goes on to praise the donor, without which she says, she and his child would be dead.

"Ale, tell me was it my Sister my Father?" Ale tells her it was Bruno, and they both are sick and they share that sickness with a long gaze. Someone comes to take a statement from MJ about the assault.

Paula remembers that today is the day to show up in Merida for her probation. She jumps up and tells Papa. Papa says they can tell them they had an emergency and tries to calm her.

Roberto is looking out the window down to where he sees Useless and Rachel laughing. Rachel sees Roberto and asks him what he is doing here. Rachel says she is very hungry and she's going to see if they lived or died.
Roberto complains about her to Uselesss. Roberto says that if MJ died he has nothing to worry about. Useless tells Roberto about Bruno being with Katia, a minor. Roberto can't believe how stupid that was of Bruno.

Bruno is saying that Ale didn't even thank him for saving his woman. Victoria asks Bruno what he asked of Ale. Bruno gets all defensive, and asks if she has talked with Ale. Victoria says she is just asking him a question. Bruno doesn't like her questions and is mad that there is a dog at the table. (Felipe is holding Cucu.) Rachel comes in and says that their mother prefers mangy dogs over them. Felipe gets up and takes her companion with her. Victoria is upset that they treat her friend that way, and she leaves. Bruno tells Rachel that they will have something good come their way, just watch.

Ale is assuring Paula that she has nothing to worry about, after they tell the circumstanses. So she won't be locked up? Ale tells her no.

Ale asks Hernan about moving MJ? Hernan thinks he should wait till tomorrow. Hernan asks about all of them and Ale tells him they are the family of is wife and they all come until he finds another house.

Felipe is teaching Cucu tricks. She is also waiting for Rachel. When Rachel walks by Felipe asks to have a word with her. Felipe wants Rachel to be nice to Victoria and quit bring up Antonio etc. Other wise she will have to mention what is going on with Useless. Rachel says that Useless is only her friend and Cucu growls.

My dvr ends.

I want to say how grateful I am for all the Caray Caray family. Gracias por todos.

I hope you all have a nice Holiday.

Feel free to add, and or correct.

Why in the world does Vicki still ask Felipa what should do. She knows she's not going to like the anwser anyway.


Vicki you see what you created when you selfishly protected your image.

I would have thrown Raquel out after she let her die and the baby too. This nasty drag queen is not redeemable at all. I still believe it's jealousy on her part even though she knows now that Alex is her half brother.
 

Maura was saying to Useless that Bruno can go to jail for having sex with a minor.

Useless was finally useful by pointing out to his ugly conquest Raquel how is it any different from MJ and your mother. Raquel who didn't fall far from the Vicki tree did not want to hear that comparison.

Another thing why is this bitter cow always talking about MJ's dad being a drunk. When it looks like she can't get through a day without a drink herself.

Hernan told Vicki something supicious was going on between Alex and Bruno about the blood donation. He told her Alex didn't want to talk about it.

Alex when will you ever learn that if you don't want Vicki to know something stop telling Ferdumbo then.

This novela really has so many disgusting people in it. I can count on one hand how many good guys they have in it and that includes the dog Cuco.
 

Serendipitypb, many thanks for the fantastic recap & the holiday wishes. I hope you and all your loved ones have a wonderful TGD!!

I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING -- bruno's request for a Alex/MJ divorce!!!I assumed he'd want the presidency but a divorce?? How's he going to ensure Alex goes through with it??? Interesting times ahead.
Also, that William Levy has the best bedside breakdowns I've ever seen in US soaps or Latin telenovelas -- WOW!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
CubsFan
 

Well, Alex and MJ were never really married, right? All they have to do is find proof they were never really married and they never have to divorce.

Plus, there's nothing in Bruno's blackmail that says that Alex & MJ can't ever re-marry (or marry). He just said to divorce Maria Jose.

Alex stood by MJ's beside AFTER makign the deal with Bruno and told her "Nobody is going to separate us." Alex is going to figure out a way for them to stay together.

With all the money Alex has I don't see why they have to go back to Casa de Locos.

Raquel is a drunk ramera. That's why she doesn't have any friends.
 

CubsFan, your 'William Levy has the best bedside breakdowns I've ever seen in US soaps or Latin telenovelas -- WOW!!! ' ....

.... I CONCUR!!! There aren't enough superlatives to describe him.
 

Thanks for the recap, serendipity.

I am thankful for Melinama who has provided us with this blog site, all the recappers, and cheesy telenovelas that give good fodder for snark.
 

Good morning DPD...I am thankful for you stepping in and helping recap this novela. Also grateful for all the other recappers, Melinama who created this fascinating site, and the great commenters who make it even more lively.

I don't watch this regularly because these evil characters disturb me...but check in from time to time to enjoy the romance. And I wouldn't know when to watch were it not for all you faithful recappers. So muchas gracias and have a wonderful Thanksgiving one and all.
 

Serendipity thanks for the great recap. Laid up with a nasty migraine last night and missed the episode. Wonderful detail helped keep me on track.
When will these people learn that "don't tell" never works in this show. Why in the world would Alex eventually agree to any terms Bruno put out there? Especially not to tell Victoria. I mean, really? Just let him give the transfusion and then shrug your shoulders with "Hey, dude, there's nothing in writing and I don't recall all the promises. Sorry." But he is our "man of honor" so he'll be agonizing blah blah for a few episodes.
As for the Rack, if she ranted and raved that much last night, glad I missed that part. Lord, she's tiring. Excuse the reference, but what a Useless existence.
Well, it's back to the homestead for everyone with lots of secrets and intrigues that viewerville just knows will start to unravel and explode. can't wait.
Happy holiday weekend to all.
 

Thank you for the great recap DPD!

Glad that Useless finally pointed out to Raq that what she is doing with him is no different than what she's so riled up about her mom doing and MJ supposedly doing. Just like her mom, logic did not quite compute with her. Better to just shut her up with a kiss like Fer did to Vicky.

Alex and MJ did both look like they were going to be sick when he finally revealed to her who the donor was. MJ needed a good minute to internalize that. Lol! I really don't blame her. She then said to Alex that it couldn't have been easy for him to accept Bruno's help, or for Bruno to offer it.

And MJ could not have looked any less excited about the prospect of returning to Casa de Los Locos. Not the best place to recover from a stabbing in the back Alex. She'll have to constantly be on the lookout for another stabbing in the back (both literal and figurative). Even Hernan was like, "dude, are you sure it's a good idea to bring her AND her family back?" And he doesn't even know half of what's been going on in that house! :)

OK. I'm off to my parents' house now (a 10 minute drive away) for a delicious Jamaican-inspired Thanksgiving meal. I love this holiday because all families add pieces of their heritage and make it unique in their own homes. But everyone always seems to have Turkey, no matter what. :) Have a fantatstic Thanksgiving Caraymates! It's fun to share this silly hobby with you all and I'm thankful to have found you.

Oh, one last thought before I go. I was very proud of Alex for not taking the bait and reacting with anger or doubt when Bruno implied the baby could be his. Was that some growth we just saw in our galan? Or was he so desperate in that moment that Bruno could have said anything to him and he would have let it roll off his back, as long as it meant MJ and teh baby were saved? That was probably the most civil conversation we have seen those two have the entire novela. It even started off with pleasantries (how are you, how is she?)! Chucho then said to Alex that Bruno reminded him of a cayote about to trap his prey. Which is funny,because we've been calling him Wile E. Cayote here. :)

-Vivi in DC
 

vivi in DC, I was a bit surprised as well that Alex didn't take the bait when bruno said the baby was his and Alex simply said something like 'all the more reason you should help". I think Alex really wants to believe in MJ so he accepts HER word that its his baby so he's not going to risk Bruno reneging on the blood donation at this point by arguing.
MrsImgallego, this is the first novela I've seen William Levy in and aside from his sheer physical beauty I really am impressed by his acting -- no over-the-top histrionics, very natural.

To all CarayCaray folks, a very merry Thanksgiving!!!
CubsFan
 

Great recap serendipitypb!!! As usual, Alex is great and soooo handsome...

Does anyone know if he will make an appearance at the awards on TV this Sunday???

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

Melinama, thanks for the Caray blog.

Ann-NYC
 

Feliz día de acción de gracias a todo el mundo.
Gracias dpd for the recap.

Katia was supposed to take the papers & file them but left Mari holding them, I guess to snoop around.

Mari said Bruno didn't have an office, he didn't work there.

Alex can just say, lo siento mucho, yo mentí. Sth Bruno knows a lot about.
Alex agreed to the conditions so fast because there was no time to lose. No time for a fight.

Why does MJ always look guilty, like when the cop started to question her? I think those were just street thugs that attacked her.
 

Ann in NYC, the TV Y Novelas awards show UNIVISION is airing on Sunday already happened earlier in the year (March or May 2009). Univision is just getting around to airing it now. William Levy does present an award along with his Cuidado co-star. You can youtube search his segment.
 

Happy Thanksgiving wishes to the Caray family! I am thankful for so much abundance in my life and that includes the richness of this blog.

Variopinta, I see MJ the same way. She has a guilty look on her face for so many things. Maybe it's the mediocre acting more than the storyline...
jb
 

I really like William Levy in this role. Ale would certain fit my idea of a perfect man... Aside from when he gets angry, and locks lips with someone else.

About the tvnovelas awards, I wonder what the cut off date is for nomination? I don't see WL nomintated for anything.

dpd
 

Anon 10:49:00 - Didn't see your post. So I would think WL would get a nomination for the 2010.

I think MJ doesn't like dealing with the system. If I lived in a place where anyone can accuse and you are assumed guilty.....
 

Judy i agree with you about the novela having so many bad people and you can't watch. I have had many occasions where I had to close my eyes, take the earphones off and sometimes turn the tv off and wait for the comments here the next day. I react like it is really happening and I get soo upset I lose sleep. Now with Ale being told to divorce her. I can see him not saying why and divorcing her. Meanwhile she is thinking it is because he doesn't love her or believe the child is his. I wish I could watch it in a relaxed fashion and think of it as just a novela and that, in the end all will be happy. But for some reason novelas affect me this way.
 

Probably the main ones for the 2009 awards are Yañez FELS ugh & Colunga MEPS & maybe Levy for Cuidado.

2010 will probably be Levy Sortilegio & Yañez Corazon Salvaje.

I just think Yañez is an adequate novela actor, great at yelling. And if he beats out Levy I will be angrier than when Yañez Destilando Amor won over Colunga Pasión. It's voted on by the viewers, but I just couldn't understand that one.

Does anyone know if Carla Estrada ever used Yañez?

Levy I'm sure will end up in Hollywood, I would guess his English is perfect.
 

Thanks Dipity for the recap. I was cooking and watching at the same time so missed some spots. You gotta love Felipa! Maybe Raquel will keep her big trap shut, but then what fun would that be? The dog eating Ezs shoelaces had me cracking up. How funny was that?

Daisynjay, I get migraines too so I feel your pain. Your whole day/night is shot with one of those.

Happy Thanksgiving everybody. Check in later tonight. I'll be posting a discussion for tomorrow. I'll check back later.
 

Thanks for the recap Serendipitypb. I expected Bruno to ask for the presidency in exchange for the blood but not for Alex to divorce MJ. Does Bruno really expect Alex to go through with it or will he conveniently bring it Alex and RaMaura's French kiss to use against him. Loved the disgusted look both MJ and Alex had at the knowlege it was Bruno's blood that saved her and their unborn child's life. Can someone please shut up Rachel. She's just as bad as Vicky in her state of denial. We know since Alex told Fer what was up he'll blab to Vicky no doubt. In the previews, Alex brings MJ and family back to the house of locas and the terrible twins didn't look none too pleased. Can't wait for the fireworks. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.
 

Anon 10:49 - Thanks for the info on WL. Look forward to drooling over him once again.....

Ann-NYC
 

I too want to thank Melinama for this board and for all the recappers who bring wit, humor, and much snark. Also to the commentators whose posts I love to read. Bruno is still trying to make Alex doubt MJ by mentioning that the baby could be his. Once Alex and MJ learn to truly trust each other, no one will be able to tear them apart. But until then.....LOL.
 

Thanks Dipity for a very entertaining recap. I haven't looked at my tape yet as I have dinner guests, but I managed to sneak away for a few minutes.

Re: "This novela really has so many disgusting people in it. I can count on one hand how many good guys they have in it and that includes the dog Cuco"

A few days ago I was told my one Anon that if I didn't like his or her comments then I shouldn't read them. I would be more than happy to comply if only I knew which Anon he/she is. Even though it's obvious that most of the Anon comments are written by the same person, I do want to read the comments of the few Anon's who write entertaining comments and snark that stays within the guidelines of good clean fun.

So Anon, if you provide me with a way to know which Anon you are, I will never remark on your comments again because I won't read them.
 

Great recap, Dipity!

Short on time so I didn't get to read all the posts, but hope you all have a great Thanksgiving, and I'm looking forward to catching up with all the comments later. :)

And I am extraodinarily grateful for all of you guys. And of course, I'm grateful for William Levy. :)
 

Joanna I didn't see the comment;however, this is a comment section and I didn't know that we can't express our thoughts about what others write or about the show. Sorry you had a problem with an anon. I am usually hiding in the woodwork just taking in all the comments. Unbelievable the way the novela is disected. I'm a therapist and you would think that I would be reading between the lines, but these recappers and those who respond are awesome. I've learned a new way of watching novelas. Ret
 

Anon 2:45 the only thing we are not suppose to discuss is the actors personal lives. I don't have time for people and their bitter and miserable agenda. Other people have from time to time come on here and used profane words descibing or disgusted with a character. Now this bitter and miserable person wants to keep up its nonsense with me because any post with its name i skip over now. It needs to get a life and move on.

Anon 2:45 keep posting as you wish anonymous or otherwise, i know i will.


Cielo de Levy i hoped you passed all of your exams with flying colors.
 

I don't know why they don't show the Tv y Premios novelas award show when it was shot in March. Does anyone know why they don't show it live at that time. It makes no sense to show it now?
 

Okay, attempting to catch up...

Anon: Another thing why is this bitter cow always talking about MJ's dad being a drunk. When it looks like she can't get through a day without a drink herself.

Seriously, Anon I think we know where she gets her hypocrisy genes from. Same to the comment from Pirate Babe about Raquel's denial.

Vivi, ITA. So glad that Alex didn't react to Bruno's stupid comment. He's doing a great job of making things better, and Dipity, he is so the perfect guy.

Anon, thanks for the warm wishes. Much appreciated.

And Dipity, the title of this post is great. Sangre is wayyyy too expensive.

Well I just skimmed some comments and I will continue reading later. :)
 

I don't think they show the awards show because we are a few months behind showing the novelas.

I see Adela Noriega was nominated but I didn't see Silvia Navarro (doesn't seem possible).

Sth strange, I saw Manuel Mijares do a medley of songs & one of them was from Corazon Salvaje. I was sure that novela would be 2010.
 

Thanks for the recap, dpd, well done!

I love reading all kinds of comments. Even though I don't always agree with the feelings expressed (for example, I tend to like all the characters, maybe I just view the novela in a slightly detached way), I like to read the different viewpoints. Although I agree there are advantages to having commenters identify themselves, I respect the desire of some not to do so.

I really enjoy watching Raquel. In one sense, I feel a little sorry for her - her husband is cold to her, her brother doesn't pay any attention to her wishes, her rich friends seem to have some secret they're not telling her (Mario Aguirre), and her mother can't even understand why she hates that lowlife MJ and her whole family! :) On the other hand, she keeps getting what she deserves, and that's fun, too.
 

Thanks for the recap, serendiptyb!

Anonymous 1:35 said Alex when will you ever learn that if you don't want Vicki to know something stop telling Ferdumbo then.

If this were another novela, I would give Alex credit for deliberately telling Fernando this time as much because Fernando is his friend and he has to tell somebody as because he WANTS Fernando to tell Vic so she won't keep yapping on about how Bruno's "selfless" donation proves he's not the monster everyone wants to believe he is. But I'm not sure we can credit the characters with being that sneaky. Well, except for Cuco, maybe.

I hope you and all the people here have a great Thanksgiving!


Incog
 

Cielo de Levy i enjoy coming here exchanging ideas and views about our favorite actors and novelas and having a good laugh too.

Alex response to Bruno was like ok anything you say just give my MJ and baby your blood. Water off a ducks behind.

Look he and MJ exchanged when he told her she got blood from Bruno. I thought both look like they wanted to barf at the same time.

Levy just does bedside scenes in the hospital that make you want to be sick too.
 

Thank you Hombre de Misterio for respecting people and their decisions, while at one time i was searching for an appropiate moniker and saw several people use the one i might have used. Now my decision to remain anon has been made easy by someone who has no respect or regard for others.

Variopinta i wonder if they add on extra footage for later but then that doesn't seem likely. Maybe one of the reasons that Mijares was doing an medley of his old songs is becuase his wife is Lucero.

They were discussing at the time the remake of Corazon Salvage, they just diddn't have all of the cast members lined up though.

Incog i keeping waiting for Alex to start telling Ferdumbo something he wants kept secret and tell him never mind i realize you can't keep your mouth shut if your life depended on it.
 

Dpd: Thanks for the wonderful recap. You should get time and a half for holiday duty, you too Connie!!

I, like many others, was so taken with the hospital scenes between MJ and Alex. One thing I noticed was that MJ really looked sick, sometimes actors look like they are asleep in a lounge chair at a luxury resort, MJ looked like she NEEDED the sangre. I thought William was doing a fantastic job but my hubby, who speaks NO Spanish, looked up and said "that guy is really overacting, men don't carry on like that" Should I look for a different husband? Oh yes, I've had this one for 41 years! Your thoughts?

Happy Thanksgiving to all and I for one am thankful for all my new Caray Caray friends.
 

Variopinta said Sth strange, I saw Manuel Mijares do a medley of songs & one of them was from Corazon Salvaje. I was sure that novela would be 2010.

Was it his version of the theme from the Palomo Corazon Salvaje or the theme from the Yanez version. I know they were promoting the heck out of the Yanez Corazon Salvaje before it ever went on the air.


Incog
 

Sandy lol at your hubby comments i think he's a keeper though 41 years wow. Well they all can't be like our favorite novela galans can they.
 

Mijares sang a medley of the songs he has interptreted for Telenovelas: El Privilegio de Amar, Corazon Salvaje '93 and the one from Amada Enemiga. The theme for the new CZ is sang by Chayanne.

MEPS will be in competition on 2010 because it started after the cut. MEPS, Sortilegio and Corazón Salvaje will compete in 2010, as well as ENDA, Mi Pecado (wich comes after that one), Un Gancho al Corazón, Hasta que el Dinero Nos Separe, Los Exitosos Perez and the novelas for teens and kids.

Jarocha
 

I'm sorry, I meant to say Querida Enemiga.
 

Thanks for the thorough recap, serendipitypb.

I am also thankful for Melinama's having established this wonderful blog for all of us to comment on our heroes and villains in telenovelaland.

They haven't really signaled how Alex is going to play this out. But I certainly would not abide by any promises made to Bruno. Once that blood were in MJ's veins, I'd give him a big neener-neener and thumb my nose at him. Bruno doesn't play fair; why should Alex. But I suspect he may comply with at least part of it. I sure hate to see MJ back in the house of horrors.
 

Gracias Jarocha
Maldita, Colunga will lose to Levy. I don't feel bad about that, pls just not to Yáñez on FELS. I really believe Levy deserves it. Colunga had a crap part.

Makes sense, the music from the Palomo version of Corazon Salvaje. I'm glad Colunga didn't take that part because of the producer that did FELS. But what more perfect pirate can there be other than Colunga or Palomo?

Jarocha, did Silvia Navarro get nominated? If not, there is really sth wrong with the system. I realize she came from Azteca, but after all talent is talent.
 

No one from MEPS is nominated because MEPS was still on when they had the award show in March. MEPS will be nominated for next year award show in 2010. I Levy wasn't nominated for CCEA but curious enough Maite was nominated for CCEA. I could tell you guys who won but i don't want to be a spoiler. Sortilegio will be nominated along with Enda for next years awards.
 

Anonymous 11:41...glad to know I have a soul sister because I berate myself for my reactions. I too take it to heart (muy al pecho) like it's really happening and my mind keeps grappling with it at night trying to make it turn out better. In real life, it makes me an empathetic listener but there is enough suffering in real life, especially if one is involved in any kind of counseling work. So dealing with hurt and cruelty in an entertainment venue is difficult. That's why I'm really enjoying Gancho. Some "bad" things happen, but they'usually wrapped up in the very next episode and there's plenty of madcap humor in between.
 

Jarocha i forgot that was Mijares who sung the theme song for Querida Enemiga he's one of my favorites.
 

Variopinta: Silvia Navarro will compete in 2010. I'm almost sure she will get nominated. Especially if she gets chosen for the lead of "La Dueña" wich would be on air by that time. The network wants her badly for that role. Funny to mention here, since one of the other options is Jacky Bracamontes

Jarocha
 

Anon: Mijares does have a beautiful voice.

Jarocha.
 

Silvia should win it hands down. As for the part in La Duena why are they even considering another actress for the role. Jackie B. is no where near the actress that Silvia is.

I love listening to Mijares, Luis Miguel, Ricardo Montaner, David Cavazos and David Bisbal. They all have beautiful voices.
 

Well, Bracamontes is better than the first choice of the producer: Adela Noriega. The suits want Navarro, but she hasn't said yes yet.

Jarocha
 

I also get caught up with the characters, and I really should not lose sleep over a story.

Does this show really have more bad guys than good? It seems most of the novels I have watched have more bad than good.

I guess that doesn't count the helpless. (free lily)

JudyB - Do you have as many gray days as NE Ohio?

Cubsfan - I saw WL in Pasion. I think he has grown by leaps and bounds as an actor. ITA "William Levy has the best bedside breakdowns I've ever seen in US soaps or Latin telenovelas -- WOW!!! ' ...."

Cielo de Levy - Hope you did well on your tests!

Pirate Babe - "In the previews, Alex brings MJ and family back to the house of locas and the terrible twins didn't look none too pleased."

My dvr cut off before the previews.
It seems like Alex could have set them up in a hotel or something.

I have to say just when I thought this novela was settling down into boredom it shakes us up again. Carla and Crew have really kept this rollercoaster going.
 

Thanks for the recap, 'dipitypb. Usually love triangles are bad things, but I'm in the perfect one: me, telenovelas, and this board with all the recappers and commenters. One of the things for which I'm grateful. (And thanks, Melinama, for starting it all.)

And thanks, Sr. Levy, for bringing the sweet and the hot to my screen each evening. And no thanks to whoever designed that fugly red/blue sweater with the weird design for Useless. It injured my eyes.
La Paloma
 

I keep thinking that some of the shirts Useless wears are girls or woman shirts or blouses.
 

Anon, I love to read you comments. Levy definetely does a beautiful bedside scene.

Hombre, I've actually been thinking about Raquel, and she does have a horrible life. Husband hates her, brothers and mom don't like to tolerate her much, and her friends ignore her. It's actually kind of sad when you think of her individually and not in relation with the good

Going back to Raquel being a hypocrite though...we mentioned how she called Pedro a drunkard already, did someone already mention that she is cheating on her husband while also insulting Vicki for committing adultery

Dipity, thanks. The tests were okay. Could have done better, but I'm sure I didn't do bad. :)

I'm definetely one of those as well who acts like things in the show are real. The characters too. Can't count how many times I think about Sortilegio, Alex, and the different situations.
 

Sandy in TN - I guess you should keep hubby aftre 41 years.

LOL
"Once that blood were in MJ's veins, I'd give him a big neener-neener and thumb my nose at him."

Vivi in DC - Ditto to - "I was very proud of Alex for not taking the bait and reacting with anger or doubt when Bruno implied the baby could be his. Was that some growth we just saw in our galan?"

I was pleased with Ale's answer of all the more reason for Bruno to help.

Variopina - I don't think Katia has any intention of acutally working.

Anon - I think they don't show the novela awards cause most of the shows have not been seen in the US at the time.

For myself I think they should show them at the time. I could get a heads up on what to watch. :)

Hombre - Thank you! It is interesting to pull back and watch from a different perspective.

Incog - I soo wanted to give Ale credit for telling Fer so his Madre would hear...

Variopinta - I was upset years ago when Jaime Camil did not win for LFMB. He was my first telenovio who has now been replaced with WL.

La Paloma -"Usually love triangles are bad things, but I'm in the perfect one: me, telenovelas, and this board with all the recappers and commenters." LOL
ITA with "And thanks, Sr. Levy, for bringing the sweet and the hot to my screen each evening."

Love that Sweet and HOTTTTT!!!!!!!

dpd
 

As far as I'm concerned, the whole cast of FELS with the exception of Gabriela & Fernando can stay home that night.
 

Ouch Variopinta that's a little harsh isn't it? Then again i didn't get to see the horror of FELS. LOL i think you're going to be disappointed though with your wish. Too Funny.

Dipity thanks for the recaps and ITA with you.

Cielo de Levy there are a lot of people who are lonely and neglected who don't turn out as repulsive as Raquel.

To say you want someone to die and their unborn child too,because you think they are beneath you is too much for me to ever be sympathetic towards that heifer.
 

Anon, you're right. Lonliness doesn't begin to justify Raquel's behavior or whatever you want to call it.
 

Regarding my husband, OK, I'll keep the old fuddy duddy!

Talk about letting a novela get to you, in MEPS, when Barbara Greco, scarred from a self inflicted fire, and in a Mexican prison cell, held the picture of her beloved nieto, and at that moment her tears dropped down on the photo of the baby that she would never hold.... I was moved to serious tears. Even days later when I tried to talk about it, it upset me. I think it is because I have two small grandsons in real life and the thought of missing them was unbearable.

Thank goodness you don't have to worry about the love interests in a novela, they always end up together, it's just a matter of time.
 

Anon 8:23
Unless you saw it, you just can't imagine the torture we put ourselves through. I watch the novelas to learn Spanish, so I just chalked it up to the worst possible Spanish teacher you can have.
However, Diana Bracho & Guillermo Gárcia Cantú were two of the worst (or is that best) villans I've seen.
 

I would spit nails if Yanez won over Levy!!! I don't see what's so great about Yanez....Colunga and Levy have it all over him. But in this case I would be sorely disappointed if Levy didn't win...
even over Colunga.


Ann-NYC
 

Cielo de Levy that's why she wasn't invited to Maura's beautiful people party. Even Bruno was invited and that right there should tell you how ugly a person Raquel is.


It has nothing to do with physical
beauty at all. That mad cow is just plain darn ugly in her personality period.
 

Lol once again with you Variopinta and Ann from NYC you can start spitting those nails our novio Levy wasn't even nominated but Maite Perroni was though. Maite i guess was given a break she got nominated for the juvenile category, which i don't think was fair because she's 25 years old. The character she was playing started off around 22 years old and ended somewhere around 24 years old.

I guess they don't use logic with the awards shows either huh.
 

The "beautiful people party snub" of Raquel was HUGE. I don't think I have ever heard of a husband, brother, and step brother being invited to a party and not the wife/sister. I know Raquel is undesirable, but Alex is the kinda guy that wouldn't like overt snubbing and Maura is trying to get Alex. Sometimes families "close ranks" in that type of situation. With all the other Mexitrash at the party, they should have included Raquel. In my opinion, Maura looks small for leaving out Raquel, but being small is the least of her problems.
 

Sandy what you are saying is all so true, but what others are saying how Roberto does not want her. Vicki and Bruno ignore her and any compassion she might have had with Alex is probably dwindling by how fast she opens her mouth to tear MJ.


The woman is just too much drama and work, i'm a woman myself after i see her on the screen i need a strong drink. Then i feel for Roberto for staying married so long to her.

I don't know if any sane man money or not would. If she had been married to Useless he probably would have killed her.
 

Anon, I've been having a drink with you on this stuff all along...I think Raquel is terrible, just throwing up Vicky's adultery, when she is doing the same thing is ridiculous, and on and on and on. I'm just saying, it is just so unusual for a group of people who grew up together to invite a husband and not a wife. I wouldn't want to have her at my party, but I'd be afraid to invite Roberto and not Raquel. It really goes to prove your point on how the young of Merida can't stand her, but if Maura wants to win Alex, it might be better to look big hearted. Of course, in real life, men never worry who was invited to a party or not, they just want to have fun.
 

I don't feel badly for Roberto being married to the Vaca Loca so long. She's his meal ticket, the good life and he doesn't have to work. He knows exactly what he's doing. It may well be *why* he married her in the first place.

"As far as I'm concerned, the whole cast of FELS with the exception of Gabriela & Fernando can stay home that night."
WHAT about Capricio? and Mariachi? Is there an animal category? Capricio was the MVP in FELS, IMO, and should win best supporting acting role.

Why is it that every time I see the word Merida, my brain reads Mierda? (I'm not kidding)
 

Doris!!!!
 

Lol don't worry Doris i use mierda every time Vicki, Ferdumbo and Raquel open their mouth.


Sandy i think Maura is so self assured of her charms. That she thought Alex would not realize she didn't invite Raquel. I don't think he noticed either.
 

Anon, you're right, Alex didn't notice who was at the party, he was "distracted".

Our cute boy is back on the right track now though!

But.....I think we'll need more "drinks" to get us through to the end!!!
 

I'm with you on that cheers.
 

Thanks for the recap Dipity. Your dedication over the holiday is appreciated.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.
 

Sandy, I forgot to mention that I was lol over your husband's comment.

I, for one, am super glad as well that Alex is back on track. I can sleep in peace, knowing he's less depressed. Despite Bruno's retarded demands he has to worry about, I love that he's focusing more on caring for MJ.

Well, Black Friday tomorrow, and I need to get up super early. Good night all. :-)
 

I didn't see Cuidado, how was Levy in that?

Doris, a little dyslexia???
In MEPS I always saw the village PuTrificación instead of Purificación. I even inadvertently typed it in one of my posts. But the sharp eyes of Caray caught it.

I definitely agree about Capricho, he deserves a special award.

I'm waiting for Cuco to dig up some dirt on Sortilegio. I still think he has more of a purpose other than just being cute.
 

Variopinta, Levy's character in Cuidado wasn't close to as smart as his character in Sortilegio. He was definetely sweet, loving, and hot, but smart not so much until the final episodes.

However, the chemistry between the two stars was amazing, and Levy's character was loveable despite his flaws. There were some episodes were he delivered some great performances, and I think it's worth a watch if you just want to get another look at Levy.
 

It seems to me that Raquel wasn't invited to the party b/c everyone else were in couples.
Roberto and Useless
Maura and Alex
Bruno and Katia
No one was left for Raquel.

Plus I think everyone is sick of her whinning.
 

Cielo De Levy is right about Levy in Cuidado but i blame the writers for that.Variopinta if you want to see sizzling hot chemistry we Cuidado fans recommended you check it out.

The beginning of it Levy does quite well with his role. The middle was ridiculous how much they kept the two leads apart.

When they finally start having scenes together again, it picks up because of their chemistry but the writing by then was just awful.

I don't know how many who watch Sortilegio watch ENDA but those writers are really creative.

I guess that's really what we all want, take a old cliche and put a fresh spin on it.

It's a shame when you have two good leads and the story is lame or the plots looked like they are written by a five year old.

I would love to see Levy paired up again with Maite Perroni,Silvia Navarro or Barbara Mori. That's my wish list for his next co-stars in his next novela. I even falling in love with the actress who plays RoMEna on ENDA, Attair Jarabo.


I just want his next director and writers to be competent.
 

Ebony i don't think it was a couples party because Useless was trying to hook up with Lissette.

Raquel was not invited because of the drama she causes period. First of all she's loud, rude does not know how to keep her mouth shut at all.

She has the nerve to talk about anybody like she's Miss Mexico. I guess Maura didn't want to do damage control especially since Maura's agenda was to take up where she left off with Alex.

Notice how she was angling for a dinner invite the next evening when Alex was leaving her shindig.
Alex was politely trying to brush her off.

If she had invited Raquel she probably have to be a referee and be peacemaker, because Raquel has this delusion that she's some Aphrodite to men and we all know she's not.

That's why i believe she wasn't invited. Her reputation and how she acts regardless of who her husband,brother and half brother are were not enough a free pass for her to get invited.

You see how they all acted at Maura's party the next day when she showed up.Come to think of it the next time i have guests over staying their invite i should invite someone as repulsive as Raquel. That will clear the room and house real quick.
 

Anon, I definetely blame the writers for the Cuidado stuff too. Levy did the best he could with the role of the guy who was always depressed. :) His looks were to die for, and his performance was sincere, though there is sooo much improvement in Sortilegio.

LOL I don't know why Raquel wasn't invited, except that I know I wouldn't want to invite her either. As far as political correctness goes, I probably would have ended up inviting her though.
 

Cielo de Levy there is not enough political correctness in the world to make me invite someone like that into my house. Much less associate with them at all.

Cielo de Levy i don't know if you have seen Levy's first novelas. I did so when i say i was blown away that this was the same actor from those shows by his performance in Cuidado that's saying something.

Do i like or should say love his role as Alex in Sortilegio absolutely hands down. Who wouldn't fall in love with a drop dead gorgeous smart intelligent galan. Who doesn't go around offering marriage because he has a guilty conscience.

His only draw back as Alex is he keeps telling Ferdumbo his business. That's minor compared to JM not recognizing he had a double personality murderess living under his roof as a nanny.

A obsessive stalker who he let have free reign to come and go out of his house like she lived there. See Estfania.

An overbearing mad raving mother in law who acted like she owned his house.

It's funny when Bruno gets in mad dog frothing at the mouth mode. I am often reminded of Onelia from Cuidado.

let's not forget his first wife who came back from the dead Viviana.

If you compare the two Alex has a lot more on his plate than JM ever did.
 

DPD: Terrific recap! "Useless shuts her [Raquel] up with his mouth. Enough said." ITA. The best zinger last night was when he told Raquel that she was no different than her mother. That was a "Shut up, Raquel!" moment for me.
 

And Roberto might have said, if that bruja is coming, I'm not. I doubt Maura has the slightest sensitivity for anyone's feelings, not that Raquel deserves it.

Has Chantal Andere EVER played a nice person? She does do nasty so well though.

I will NOT be watching Ciudado, his wife coming back from the dead sealed it.
 

Variopinta, Chantal Andere started off as the obsessed housekeeper of the hacienda Manuel Fuentes-Guerra inherited in Amor Real. She tried to get our hero Fernando Colunga to fall for her through most of the novela.

She turned good at the end and ended up with Manuel's good buddy.

In that role she was devious but not constantly shrieking the way she is in this one. She shrieked some in La Usurpadora, but this one takes the cake. She's beyond annoying in this, which I suppose is a tribute to her acting skills.
 

Variopinta don't be so hasty they had a accident in a plane and couldn't find her body so she was assumed dead. No stupid twin or exact double plot. Or her being operated on and brought back from the dead.

From what you guys have said about FELS i will definitely make sure i pass on that one.

I would like to see Passion because Levy is in that one too.
 

Anon
Levy had a fairly minor part in Pasión but nevertheless hot, although his acting abilities weren't so apparent.
But the love of my TN life, Colunga is in it. It's a do not miss novela.
 

Anon, I really want to watch Pasion too...unfortunately, I haven't seen any of Levy's shows prior to Cuidado. Variopinta, There were definetely some dumb situations in CCEA, but they came a little later in the show and once you start it, I'm sure you'd keep watching because as bad as things got, everyone loved Juan Miguel (Levy's character). Just something to think about...I go back every once in awhile and wath episodes of it still on youtube. :)
 

watch*
 

novelera
That scene in Amor Real with Manuel in the bath tub & Antonia was really a steamer. Muy sexy.

That TN had a few hot baño scenes.
 

Variopinta - His wife doesn't really come back from the dead in CCEA, she just made everyone think she was dead, if I remember correctly. But I never really watched it so am probably wrong. IMO, I'm glad I didn't watch it. Too much crying. I'd often catch the last 15 or 10 minutes before FELS and couldn't take all the crying, and change channels. Ya basta! Suficiente! There were always flood warnings.
 

Doris i take it you don't watch ENDA then,there is so much crying in the show. I just take breaks when the water works begin. The reason i'm staying with it, is because it the writers are very creative. They reveal a whole lot every week. So i'm staying to the grand final.
 

I see a little ENDA before Sortilegio, Dios Mio, Paloma is worse than Aurora.
 

LOL Variopinta we are so sick of Paloma's whining and crying it's not even funny. Yes she has done Aurora as hard as that is to be believed.

The worst part is she is one of the main leads.
 

I meant out done Aurora.
 

I don't mind tears when they are called for, but no one cries all the time, do they? I don't recall Carla having one of those characters in her novelas. Irritating characters yes, like Raquel & maybe a tantrum but constant weeping & sobbing, no.

I saw a little Cuidado before the 9PM novela too, seems that one never left the hospital.

Does anyone watch La Rosa de Guadalupe? I see a little before I switch to Jay Leno. That appears to have many characters. Is it a continuing story or different stories? It looks pretty good.
 

The writers basically had them living at the hospital in last part of Cuidado. I guess you missed the scene when the woman gave birth with tight blue jeans on.

La Rosa de Guadalupe are different stories.

I'm waiting for the second season of Mujeres Asensinas.
