Corazon Salvaje, Tuesday, February 23: Ep. 2--Televeracruz has some crappy weather.
Despite Leonarda's pretensions at evil, she doesn't think she can bring herself to kill her unborn niece or nephew. She does, however, intend to keep making Maria del Rosario suffer until she goes nuts.
Maria del Rosario, meanwhile is spending quality time with Juan de Dios. When he gets out, she wants them to start a new life together with their baby. Yes, Juan, your sperm are that efficient. He's thrilled that such a fine wench would cast eyes on a lowly fisherman. But she sees his noble soul, etc. Juan remembers when they met…
Flashback to Maria del Rosario walking down by the shore and smiling at him as he plays with his fishing nets (not a euphemism). She's enjoying herself running down the dock and she gets her shoe stuck between the boards, then falls in the water. Juan watches until Clemencia calls for help, then he obligingly dives in a saves her. The 1850's version of "meet cute." The music is all dramatic, but being that this is a flashback, it's hard to work up any concern for Maria del Rosario's health. Juan gets her to cough up all the water and they gaze meaningfully into each other's eyes. Then he kisses her. My, my, he's got quite a pair on him!
Another flashback, to the two of them on a mat on the beach surrounded by flowers. He swears, with the moon as witness, that he'll always love her, no matter what, and he won't rest until she's his wife. She also swears she'll love him for eternity.
In his cell, the say they will love forever and live together always and no one will be able to separate them. Again, given that we already know what's going to happen, it's hard to get too worked up about this. The guy she bribed for the visit comes in and cuts it short. Before she leaves, Maria del Rosario tells Juan that she'll be waiting for him at the beach house. The guy has to come back in and tell her to get out already. More protestations of undying love, etc. She finally wrenches herself away from him and leaves. Juan de Dios is thrilled about the baby.
Leonarda reads Celestino the riot act for letting Maria del Rosario out of the house. Isn't a celestino someone who facilitates romances? Leonarda warns him that if Rodrigo finds out, he'll be furious and Celestino will be stuck in a "camisa de once varas" (a shirt of 11 sticks; a right mess). Maria del Rosario comes home and gets yelled at by Leonarda. She doesn't say where she went. Leo dismisses the servants and yells at her some more. She threatens Rosi with locking her up if she doesn't obey Rodrigo's orders. Rosi asks point-blank, "do you hate me?" Leo doesn't deny it. She scoffs at the question and asks why. Rosi says, basically, you treat me like dirt and you don't love me. Also, you ratted me out to Rodrigo. Leo acts hurt and says that's all she needed…"I don't hate you, I'm just trying to protect you. You don't know how much your accusations hurt!" Rosi wonders how Leo got so bitter and goes upstairs.
In her room, Rosi wonders what's going to become of her, Juan de Dios, their child, and their love. He, from his cell, answers that their love will be forever and they'll see each other again and run away together and be happy forever. Too much forevering, people. It only leads to bad things.
Juan de Dios, unchained, starts to stack debris to make his escape, but a guard arrives with his breakfast--a bowl of gruel which he dumps on the floor. Juan uses a rock to turn his spoon into a carving implement…over several weeks or months, if the beard is any indication.
Meanwhile, at the beach house, Rosi tells Clemencia it's been ages since she saw Juan. The only thing that keeps her going is their big ol' baby bump. She wonders if Rodrigo will forgive them and let them be happy.
Rodrigo, in his office, tells Noel that he won't forgive them. Noel counsels him to forgive them and set himself free. Rodrigo tells him to butt out.
It was a dark and stormy night…
When Juan de Dios finally dug his prison window out of the wall and escaped. He makes his way to the beach house and scales the wall, coming in through the window into one of the rooms. He wakes up Clemencia and covers her mouth so she won't scream. She gets up and lights a candle. She wants to know how he got out, but he says there's no time, he's got to get Rosi and get out of there. Clemencia says there's no way--her situation is too delicate and she'd be in danger. Clemencia shows him into Rosi's room, where she's having some trouble sleeping. She is thrilled to see him, excessive facial hair notwithstanding. Rosi stands up to show him her belly. He gives the bump a fond hello. Rosi thinks she's strong enough to run off with him, but she's worried that he's not up to it. He says he's up to anything for her and his baby. They shamble out to the window, but when Juan sees the lightning, he pulls her back inside. Rosi still wants to go, but Juan says he can't take her out in that. She'd get sick or something might happen to her and the baby. He says they have to wait, but Rosi is desperate. Clemencia backs him up. Juan says they'll just wait until the storm is over. She agrees. After all, they've waited so long, a few more moments won't matter. Clemencia puts her back in bed to rest up for the journey. Rosi tells Juan to come get in bed and hold her until the storm is over. He comments that the room smells like gardenias. That's because she always keeps gardenias in her room to remind her of the first gardenias he gave her, in front of the church one day. Juan takes heart from his memory of her saying that no one and nothing will keep them apart. Rosi swears they'll be happy tomorrow.
The next morning, it's no longer raining. They are awakened by a rooster. Juan gets nervous and says they've got to hurry up and leave. Rosi is still thinking about the great dream she had. Clemencia comes running in, upset that they all overslept and now they've got to hurry.
The guard finds Juan's empty cell.
Clemencia encourages Rosi to take more of her jewels with her, just in case, and Rosi gives the pendant to Juan for safekeeping. Stupid, since he was locked up for allegedly stealing jewelry in the first place. Clemencia hears the guards coming and tells them to hurry. On their way out the door, Rodrigo confronts them with a gun in Juan's face. Leo was right on his heels. She fakes shock as Rod threatens Juan. Rosi gets in front of Juan, but Juan pulls her back out of the way and argues with Rod some more. Rosi gets in front of him again, insisting that if he wants to kill Juan, he'll have to kill them both. Rosi tells him that if he really loves her, he should want her to be happy. Rod says he'd rather they were dead. Juan and Rod fight over the gun, which never leads to anything good, and we see Juan's shocked face.
The shot gets the attention of one of the guards.
Neither Juan nor Rod was apparently shot, just that Juan hurt his other shoulder fighting for the gun. Rosi pushes him out the window and tells him to go, shutting it behind her and confronting Rod. Rod insists she let him kill Juan, basically, and of course, she won't. He pushes past her and goes out onto the balcony, but Juan has jumped onto a horse and is riding away. Rodrigo yells at the guards to kill that man and, I think, quotes them a price for doing it.
Juan keeps riding. The guards are lousy shots. Juan finally ditches the horse near a cliff. The guards do the same and follow him . Juan dives off the cliff and into the water. The guards all fire their guns into the water. And probably miss, since they don't have anything to aim at.
Rosi worries about Juan. Leo comes in and says nothing as Rosi supposes worse and worse fates. Leo finally says Rosi must be lucky because the guards told Rodrigo that Juan fell into the sea and they never saw him surface. Leo figures he must have drowned. Rosi thinks she's lying because Juan couldn't leave her. Leo stops her from leaving, saying that there isn't anything to see because there's no body. Rosi fights to leave the room and ends up falling and screaming for Juan as Leo smiles triumphantly and Rodrigo stews. Rodrigo shatters a mirror in a fit of pique.
Later, Rosi is lying in bed, telling the bump that Juan will be back, because he promised. Leo looks annoyed. She accuses Rosi of pretending to be crazy to get them to feel sorry for them. But she won't feel sorry for her since she brought it on herself. Rosi keeps talking to the bump about how daddy will come back for them. Her contractions start and Leo leaves the room as Rosi screams to Juan de Dios to come for her.
It was another dark and stormy night…
When Leo comes to tell Rod that the doctor is on his way. She sees the mirror and freaks out about it being seven years of bad luck.
Down at Noel's office, he's apologizing to Santiago (the guy with the money, who's in love with Mabel) for Rodrigo not being there to sign their business agreement. Something important must have happened. But since Noel is Rod's representative, he can sign for him. Santiago tells Noel ok, as long as he understands that makes it legal. Noel offers a meeting tomorrow with Rod, but Santiago has to get back to Europe. Noel wishes him a good journey. "Grathias," replies Santiago.
Leo comes up with a flimsy excuse to keep Clemencia out of the birthing room. The baby's coming fast and Rosi can't be convinced to slow down her breathing or calm down. Clemencia hears the baby crying and thanks God. The doctor pulls the covers over a weak Rosi while Leo holds the baby, who has a birthmark similar to mama's on the back of the left side of his neck. She starts to take him out of the room as the doctor says that Rosi is very week. Leo tells him where she's taking the baby is none of his business. Leo gives the baby to Clemencia and tells her to give the baby to Celestino, he'll know what to do. "And what's that?" "Give him away." Clemencia is shocked, but Leo says it's that or Rodrigo will kill the baby, which is entirely true, but she makes it sound like she's lying or joking. She tells Clemencia to get a move on.
Rosi wakes up and asks about the baby. He tells her it was a boy. Leo comes in as Rosi is asking to see her son. Leo tells Rosi that the baby was stillborn. Rosi freaks out.
Clemencia doesn't want to give the baby to Celestino until he tells her what he's going to do with the baby. They fight over the baby until Clemencia agrees to hand him over. She tells the drunk Celestino to keep him covered up and begs him to tell her where he's taking the baby. He refuses to tell her, but eventually says he'll drop the baby off at a nearby nunnery and leave before they can see him. Clemencia begs him to leave a letter with the baby and he agrees, probably because the baby is screaming and he'd like to be rid of it sooner rather than later.
The doctor yells at Leo for lying to her sister. He asks where the baby is. Leo tells him "they" need to talk to him.
It was a dark and stormy night…
When Celestino rode along, holding the baby. He hears the guards talking about chasing somebody and panics. He jumps off the cart and hides, thought bubbling that if they see him with this baby he's totally busted. The baby keeps on crying.
Rod and Leo discuss the doctor. Rod says everyone has their price. And if the doctor won't be bought, they'll just find another way to take care of him. The doctor comes downstairs demanding to know where the baby is and Rod tells him to name his price to keep his mouth shut. "Listen, keeping professional silence is one thing, but being an accomplice to a crime like you two are committing…." The doc and his twisted knickers pick up his little black bag and head on out. Leo gets all fluttery and asks if Rod's really going to let him leave. She accepts his scraps--taking her hands and rubbing them--as he says it's dangerous to be out on the road alone at night. A lot of things can happen.
It was a dark and stormy night…
When Celestino left the baby by the side of the road to cover his drunk ass. He left the letter under the baby.
Leo comes into Rosi's room and thought bubbles that she finally got her revenge. "You've always been an obstacle in my life, but no more, I will destroy you!" She puts something, maybe ether, on a cloth and holds it over Rosi's nose while Rosi struggles.
The doc makes his way down the road, looking nervously at the wheels on his cart. His horses keep running faster and he can't get them to stop. The cart crashes, leaving the doc at the least bloody, possibly worse.
Leo screams to Rod, who comes upstairs to hear the news that Rosi is dead.
And tomorrow: the baby cries some more.

I loved the plastic flowers in the beach scene! I also was not aware that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation was in common usage in the 1850's, but what do I know??
Is anyone else hearing annoying background noises? I hear sounds like birds or crickets chirping in some scenes and what I guess are water noises in others. Is it just my station or do any of you hear this stuff too?
The look on Juan's face after waking up in the mornng was priceless since he knew they woke up a bit late and would be in trouble. will he survive or did he meet his demise?
Ibarramedia
"He knows all the secrets of Renato, Juan del Diablo, Aimee and Regina; adviser, tutor, moral guide for the four of them." This is similar to Padre Tadeo except that Noel is a notary public instead of a parish priest.

So it was Night at the Deli, with copious portions of ham & cheese. Man oh man, this one may rival FELS for snark. Rosi kept reminding me of someone, with her bug-eyed wailing & then it finally hit me: Carol Burnett's hilarious spoof of Gloria Swanson (for those old enough to remember). Yep, that's her alright, with the atrocious wig & all.
xIntperuvian: I heard it too (again, shades of FELS). The scene at the beach kept picking up the sounds of the torches hissing away. And the background music is just dreadful melodramatic caterwauling. Yikes.
Pad Tad (Santiago?) looks like Beethoven with a moustache. What is with that man's hair?
And finally, LOVED the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't baby bump. It seemed to inflate/deflate at will. Kind of like Igor's hump in Young Frankenstein.
OMG, this one is going to be fun!
Maggarita
:-P
When Rosi found out her baby was born dead I kept expecting her head to spin around and for her to start spewing pea soup. I'm not a big fan of hers. and she just looked ridiculous in that wig. I thought it was going to fall off.
Why is it that one minute Juan looks handsome and then in another he looks creepy? He just looks not natural.
Hopefully this will start picking up. The first week is usually all background stuff which can be kind of boring.
Between the snarky recaps, and the hilarious comments, you guys are making it very tempting to hop on board the good ship CS09. ;-) I had the show on in the background half watching it while doing other things, but everytime I looked up there was thunder, lightning and torrential rain at night, followed by bright sunny days, and someone was always yelling something. "Juan de Dios!!!!!!!!" My goodness! There isn't going to be anything subtle about this one.

Connie, Zorro is on from 1-3 pm. I know you were asking about that before.

How much does a pirate charge for corn?
Buck-an-ear.
-Mad Polly Flint.
Excellent recap. So far, this budding masterpiece seems to be a perfect match for your exquisite style and deadly humor. I'm having a bit of difficulty warming to the hairstyles in this. Was there a hairdressers' and barbers' strike during the filming of this?
Capitana, I'm late in congratulating you on the way you hit the ground running to kick this off. Have you done this before? Nice job.
Susanlynn, as I watched cthis last night, I thought, Dark and Stormies, perfect for this. I've still got plenty of the Bermuda rum (I forgot the name, is it Black Seal?) and ginger beer.
Nice to see a lot of familiar as well as new names here.
Kat, stunning picture.
Bloody James Flynt, the commenter formerly known as Carlos
But hey, you can still watch it if you like. I think it has like 169 episodes or more.

But in reality, our sainted mother was forcibly abused by the unscrupulous governor claiming First Rights, so you are the only known true son of the governor and one day all his power and wealth will descend to you.
I, on the other hand, am the product of your mother's husband Fred (a spiteful ne'er do well who squandered all his family's wealth) and the family dog-walker / laundry-hanger servant, a poor but noble indigeno woman with a heart of gold. When you mother gave birth to a daughter on the same day my indigeno mother bore me, Fred paid the midwife to swap the babies, so everyone believes I am your sister. Except the wise, kindly village priest, who is the only one who noticed that I have black hair and the servant's daughter is blond.
-Mad Polly Flynt
Just wait 'til Yáñez shows up, then you'll hear yelling, Gavioooooota!
¡Arrgh!
Maybe he’ll get paired up with someone since he’s not a priest. AND he doesn’t have the confessional seal to keep him from ratting on bad guys. Of course, they’ll be some other justification.
Kat: Love your new picture, and LOVE your recap!
Carlos: Are you in this time? I missed your male/medical point of view in Sorti, and hearing about your corn! Gancho didn’t fit into my schedule.
Except pirate names, of course.
Juan Largo de Plata
My future son would disown me if I had to name him Juan Marco Antonio Ibarramedia de Vidaurrazaga y Iparragurre. I can imagine the mother calling out to him now. ***Rolls Eyes*** ;)
Ibarramedia
The dude is a freaking screamer.
Ok Connie, who would win in a 5 round fight Eduardo Yanez or Fernando Colunga? I wish this had a poll function.
Ibarramedia
That weather in Veracruz looks so bad, it must be close to England.
About the name Juan de Dios. Even in our times, people still say the complete name when talking to or about the person named Juan de Dios. Same thing happens with Jose Carlos, Marco Antonio, Jose María and others (although for those calles Jose María there's the nickname Chema).
The scene with Juan de Dios and María del Rosario was taped in the Isla de Sacrificios which is right in front of the shores of the City of Veracruz (it's part of the view) but has been closed to the public for over 20 years.
Jarocha
Juan de Dios San Román ????.
María del Rosario Montes de Oca ????.
If their kid is called Juan de Dios too his full name would be:
Juan de Dios San Román Montes de Oca.
Jarocha
xIntperuvian I too was thinking those women were a bit past the age they are supposed to be playing. Leo kind of gave me a Cher vibe, if Cher ever aged. Must be the cheek bones.
So a dumped baby and two murders right off. Wow! And the stairs at the beach house look ripe for a fall.
Ibarramedia my money is on Colunga!
Variopinta ROFL with you and your comments.
Also LOL to the Carol Burnett reference and the Scarlett O' Hara scene i can't stop laughing from that image.
Maybe they should move this novela to the 7:00pm timeslot after Enda ends since that's where they like to put their lighthearted and comedy novelas at anyway.
Oh lordy,lordy, Connie's guys vs Molly's guy. Hahaha or Jajaja.;)
Ibarramedia
Ibarramedia
Anon, i don't think they intended this to be a comedy. Besides, Dinero can move to the 7pm time slot once Enda ends and Mi Pecado begins.

CS was third on my remote rotation, after the Olympics and Idol, so I just saw bits and pieces. I knew I could count on the recap to keep me updated.
La Paloma

I don't think EY can touch FC in the pirata dept.
I know that this not a comedy but unintentionally i have a suspicion when it's all done it will be ranked as one another reason why it should be move to the 7:oopm timeslot and also being sarcastic.
Me thinks CS will be the K-Mart version of Pasion. Certainly looks like a cheap knock-off, any way. The long haired hero with the do-rag, the flouncy gowns, the bad wigs, the pirates...but hey, as long as they up the hottie quotient, I'm on board!
Maggarita (with a patch on one eye but you can't see it)
;-)
So Basically I'm the bastard son of the Guv, but the only male heir? Hmmm. Now does that mean I also have those first rights? I vaguely remember that from Pasión. I forget what that was called, though. No matter. Do you by chance have a list of the peasant virgins? How's daddy's health, by the way. Don't worry, you can move into the mansion. Your mama may come too. Bonnie Belle will be needing someone to take her for walks.
By the way, where does Anne (the former Connie) fit in? Course as a cap'n, she probably lives on a boat.
Bloody Jimmy F. your Bubba
Maggarita LOL at the K-Mart version of Passion comment.
Paula H ROFL with if Mexico which like FELS but has pretty much rejected CS because it's too awful for them to believe what they are seeing. TENGO MIEDO indeed. Be very scared or in this case be very open to ROFL at unintentional comedy.
Haven't you guys already laughed at the ages of the two actresses and bad wigs already.
Carlos, you crack me up.
Cap'n Anne Flynt--I'm changing mine to Annie so from now on:
Cap'n Annie Flynt
Cristian de la Fuentes can't get here too soon.
This will be terrific fodder for the recappers & lots of laughs.
I didn't like the do-rag on Ricardo but it looked a lot better on him than Juan de Dios.
Mad Bloody Bess-love the name. It is a good and strong pirate name.
Cap'n Annie
Let's hope the hair improves when people are back to their appropriate ages. Mr 5ft was having the hardest time figuring out what the relationships were because the apparent and implied ages were messing him up. And he kept thinking that Yanez was going to end up playing both Juans. Poor boy is very confused. I'm sure he'll have plenty more to say once they really get rolling.
I'm in the process of updating my audition materials, hence the new head shot. A friend came over on Saturday and took so many good shots that I'm scattering them all over the internet :)
B: I'm amazed you could tell just from the picture. Your answers are 50 and sparkpeople.com
http://spanish.about.com/cs/culture/a/estevanico.htm
Mad Bloody Bess, it's OK to reinvent yourself. Did someone mention Madonna earlier? However I'm a bit partial to the Mad (as in Hatter) reference, can't imagine why. But who can blame you for wanting to be related to the Bloodies or the Flynts?
