La Verdad Oculta 029: Like Pretty Woman, Except They’re Not Women…And They’re Not Prostitutes
The recap is up now. Thanks for the patience everyone. Everything went really well yesterday with the playgound! Here is a pic of the nearly complete playground.
We get a bit of a replay from last time. Bertha and Dora are in Mario’s office and Bertha is giving Dora a hard time about properly cleaning Mario’s office. Dora takes offense. She’s worked 11 years for Mario in this house with no complaint. Well, Bertha’s in charge now. As Ale enters looking distracted, Dora reminds Bertha that only Abelardo is allowed to touch anything in Mario’s office. Bertha doesn’t care (what’s new?). Dora leaves and Ale shares with Bertha what has her so worried and distracted. She explains the whole Elsa, Architect Medina, JJ situation. Mario walks into his office just at that moment wanting to know who the man is that she is speaking of.
A man he doesn’t know, answers Ale. Someone who’s getting her into trouble (lirios)—Juan Jose Victorio. At the mention of this name, Dora who is passing with a tray full of china, drops the whole tray in a loud crash, totally impactada. They all turn to look at her in surprise so we cannot tell if this name resonates with Mario. We also never return to this scene, so the mystery of Dorra and JJ will continue a bit longer.
At Adolfo’s apartment, Yolanda is showing Adolfo the huge, likely hot, diamond she bought from the jeweler for a bargain price. Adolfo is impressed. It’s a fantastic diamond! He takes a closer look and we can tell that there’s obviously something else of interest here. Turns out it’s an exact match to one of the diamonds he had sent in the shoes. “It’s one of them!” He’s going to get it to his expert to confirm his suspicions, and in the meantime he wants the jeweler to keep an eye out for that guy who sold it. Yolanda is in a state of disbelief. How can it be the same diamonds when David threw the shoes in the trash in L.A.? Adolfo, ever suspicious of others' motives, thinks that was a lie. He’s sure the girls not only still have the shoes, but have sold the diamonds for their own gain. He’s even more sure of this now that he’s heard they’re leaving town. “Strange coincidence, no?” Adolfo intends to get his diamonds back!
At a local flea infested hotel, Marcos and Susana spread the diamonds out on the bed, imagining how much money they can get for them. Marcos decides he’s going to sell another one—the big one. They decide to ask 100,000 pesos for it.
Our other lottery winners, JJ and Limon, are still looking wild eyed excited at finding their treasure of gold bars. JJ is grateful that Limon made him keep looking and assures him that they are sharing the treasure. They’re all one family now (JJ, Limon, Caramelo, and Elsita), and the treasure belongs to all of them. They hug as Caramelo comes out cradling a gold bar. Limon scolds her that it’s not a plaything and to put it back. JJ, ever the softie, doesn’t want to be so hard on her. In fact, he thinks they should be thinking of putting her in school. When Limon points out that Caramelo doesn’t have any official papers that would allow them to register her in school, JJ counters that they can buy her some papers. And they’ll all live right here in this house. JJ, Limon and Caramelo can each have their own room (guess it wouldn’t be proper for Elsa to move in), and they’ll turn one room into a den/office. They start to daydream about all the things they want in the house. As for the problem of how to convert all that gold into money, they’ll leave that up to Elsa as she’s the brains of this operation. (I would say uh oh, but Elsa’s managed to help them out so far by really working her connections.)
Gabi is arriving at her apartment building and runs into Leo who is leaving. Leo says he doesn’t want to butt in, but he wants to make sure she knows what she’s doing with that guy he saw her with (David). “He’s my boyfriend.” Gabi’s starting to get bristly (careful Leo). “Are you sure he’s trustworthy (de confianza)?” Wrong question Leo. Gabi is in full defensive mode. “Why does the whole world distrust David? Anyway, it’s NONE of your business!” Leo says she’s right and sadly walks away.
JJ is still riding a high when he answers his door excitedly, ready to share the good news with Elsa. He finds not just Elsa, but also Medina. Elsa immediately starts to scold JJ. She doesn’t understand why he won’t sell Medina the house when it will be to his benefit, and after all the architect has done for him. JJ can’t contain his news anymore, and despite Medina’s presence, announces they’ve found the treasure! Elsa rushes to the kitchen with the boys with a completely perplexed Medina in tow. When Caramelo reveals the gold bars under a blanket, Medina is open mouth impactado.
Elsa is all excited smiles. She runs to JJ to hug him, then hugs Limon and picks Caramelo up into an embrace. They get Medina’s assurance that he won’t say anything. He sincerely promises not to. Anyway, JJ is the legitimate owner of the house, and as he found the treasure in his home, it belongs to him. He wants to know how they knew the treasure was there and JJ says it’s a long story that he may tell him some other time. They do however, need to find some way of protecting the treasure legally, so Medina offers the services of a lawyer who can take care of it. (I like this guy more and more each second.)
Medina asks if anyone else know about the treasure, as he thinks that might be why someone tried to set him up the other day. Elsa and Caramelo swear they have told no one. Limon hasn’t told anyone either, but he is worried about that friend of Elsa’s (Carlos) who saw him in the hole. They hope that he suspected nothing.
Marcos is back at the jeweler’s. He’s got another jewel (hoya) that his “aunt” gave him to sell. The jeweler compliments his “aunt” on her jewels and wonders if she has more. Marcos admits that indeed she does. They begin to haggle on the price of the large diamond. Marco wants his 100,000 pesos. The jeweler scoffs at that price, saying the diamond is full of flaws. They finally come to an agreement on 50,000, but only if Marcos agrees to bring the rest of the jewels to him to sell. Once Marcos leaves, he tells his employee to follow him and find out where he lives. He then cackles at how stupid Marcos is, as that diamond he just sold for 50,000 is worth more than 5 million pesos!
At JJ’s, Elsa is helping the boys count the gold bars, as they check that no more remain in the well. They have 400 bars of gold! They quickly make the calculations and figure out that they have approximately 300,032 million pesos worth of gold! They are all beyond impactados. They wonder what they should do now, and decide to wait for Architect Medina to return. Now they want to go celebrate with the few pesos they manage to scrape together.
Roberto visits Carlos at Club Sagitarius to update him on the plans he’s laying for the special date with Julieta. He’ll have Juli bring Gabi along, and then Carlos will have his opportunity. Carlos wants to make sure it’s someplace they can stay the whole night, as he plays menacingly with his letter opener. (Run Gabi and Juli! Run!) Roberto notices Carlos’ unique pinky finger ring (the blue one with the triangular diamond that we see in the credits and know was also found on Marta’s dead body).
He asks about it and Carlos explains that it’s a talisman that can bring good or bad luck. Ever grabby of anything that is Carlos’, Roberto demands that Carlos gift it to him. Carlos refuses. It’s a one of a kind piece (único) that his dad gave him years ago. There were two of them, and if they’re separated all sorts of bad juju will happen. But Carlos doesn’t believe any of that. His dad lost the other one many years ago. (Hmmmm…..)
Back at the Flea Motel, Susana is flipping through a magazine impatiently waiting for Marcos to return from the jeweler’s. Marcos finally arrives looking nervous. Seems our boy has a few brain cells and realized he was being followed. He had to walk around in circles and do some fancy footwork to lose the guy tailing him before returning. Susana doesn’t dwell on this news too long. She’s happy with the 50,000 and already starts to plan the clothes, shoes and handbags she’ll buy. Marcos is happy to indulge her, but he also thinks they should be thinking of investing some of the money in something that will help their future. He wants to buy a truck, so he can start a business transporting things. Susana does not look over the moon at the thought of being a trucker’s girlfriend, but Marcos says they have to start thinking about their future and the money won’t last forever. (Wow! I am blown away that he has shown so much intelligence and stupidity in the same episode.)
Gabi is checking in with her dad on the phone. He’s in Mexicali and hasn’t found work yet. He won’t be back for another week. Juli comes in to the room as Gabi is wrapping up the call and gets the update from Gabi. Juli sees their dad’s continuing absence as an opportunity to accept Roberto’s offer for a date on Sunday at a luxery hotel. She wants Gabi to come with her, but Gabi refuses. Juli, in full little sister mode, threatens that if Gabi won’t go with her, she will just go by herself! This tantrum is interrupted by a call from David. He’s grinning from ear to ear as he invites Gabi out to dinner. She can barely suppress her huge smile under Juli's watchful gaze. But Juli has figured out who was on the phone, what he wanted, and that Gabi accepted. She hopes this means Gabi will aks their dad to change his mind about leaving the city. Gabi refuses to do so. She doesn’t want to disappoint their dad who so desperately wants to leave. Juli is expectantly pouty and furious.
Now we get to the most fun part of our episode. JJ, Limon, Elsa and Caramelo have arrived at a fancy department store, Pretty Woman style, to begin their makeovers. Good guy Medina is at the bank taking care of the gold bars business and advanced JJ 300,000 pesos for their shopping spree.
The first order of business for Caramelo is a new baby doll, or two. She drags Elsa away and they spend the afternoon buying and playing with toys, trying on pretty dresses, including a Mini-Me Elsa look, and having a fun girly day.
JJ and Limon head to menswear where a snooty, pretty-boy salesman tries to shoo them away. A look at the wad of cash JJ keeps pulling out from his pockets and socks (lol!) quickly change his mind however, and he is soon personally serving these two gentlemen and helping in their transformation. They want hats, pants in every color, jackets, and shirts. The salesman looks like he has a tiny orgasm when they say they want ties (corbatas) too! Oh happy day!
At Adolfo’s, Yolanda shares the news of another diamond sale from the mysterious muchacho. Adolfo is now 100% sure that the girls are behind it and this guy is their accomplice. He’s going to take care of this, and begins to make a call as he orders Yolanda to leave. She lingers long enough to drink a glass of her beloved absinthe and to overhear Adolfo order someone to come over right now. She makes another plea for him to leave the girls alone, but he orders her to leave (Véte!).
At an elegant restaurant, David and Gabi are having dinner and mooning at each other. He informs her he has to go to Cancun for a few days to check in on one of their hotels. She checks to make sure his cousin isn’t going with him this time. He promises, and makes her promise she won’t go out with Carlos while he’s away this time. She promises, and viewerville sees another breakup very soon in their future when Juli has her way.
Back at the Deliptated Casa, everyone is still abuzz about their shopping spree. Limon even agrees to bathe before wearing his new duds! JJ wants to know why Elsa didn’t buy anything for herself, but she shyly begs off and changes the subject. She’s more concerned about where they will be sleeping while the renovations are being done on the house. They’re booked in a luxery hotel. And who’s JJ going to contract to do the renovations? Medina? Nope. JJ has someone else in mind. (Hmmmm…. Who could that be?)
At Adolfo’s, Roberto has arrived and receives orders from Adolfo to search the girls’ apartment for the diamonds while they’re at work tonight.
Ale and Mina are in their offices as they discuss the JJ/Medina situation through Ale’s office door. In walks a well shod pair of men’s feet in Mina’s office and she is left speechless for a second. We can already tell those feet are attached to a handsome man, and when the camera pans slowly up his legs, chest and then face, this is confirmed. We see a delicious looking, clean shaven JJ in a suit, smiling at Mina. He asks for Ale and Mina directs him in. “Señorita Alejandra Genoves?” She turns around from her shelves and immediately recognizes JJ from the tunnel. “Usted?”
"Good afternoon. How can I help you?" Ale asks, then confirms that he’s the man she met in the tunnel. JJ confirms this and says she’s just the architect he needs and that he’s renovating his house. It’s old and falling apart and he’s sure she can make it nice and pretty for him. He looks her up and down quickly, and it’s obvious he’s NOT thinking about the house when he’s talking about pretty things.
“Please sit Señor…” He introduces himself as Juan Ocampo, leaving out two key pieces of his name—the Jose and the Victorio parts. Ale wants to know how he knew her name was Alejandra Genoves. He makes up an excuse about seeing it in the listing and this all being a coincidence. Anyway, she points out, Genoves is her second last name. Her full last name is Balmori Genoves. Ale asks where the house is and when he says Jazmin 33, she and Mina are shocked that it’s the same house that belongs to Elsa’s friend Juan Jose Victorio (aka Juan Jose Victorio Ocampo). “Yes, he sold it to me.” Impactada faces on Mina and Ale.
At Roberto’s, Juli is losing track of time while making out with Roberto. She realizes she’s late for work and quickly heads to the bathroom to freshen up. While she’s there Roberto steals her housekeys from her purse.
Meanwhile at the Club, Carlos has stopped Gabi to ask if her sister is sick and not coming in. Gabi assures him she’s on her way in and tries to go about her work. But this was all really an excuse for Carlos to make a case for them to be friends. Gabi tries to find a polite way out of this conversation when in walks Juli. She heads straight to her little sis and demands to know where she’s been. Juli lets her know she was with Roberto and flounces off.
Roberto, meanwhile, is tearing their apartment apart, even dumping all their spices, looking for the diamonds. He does not find them, but finds something of more personal interest to him behind the stereo speakers. An exact copy of Carlos’ ring!
He puts it in his breastpocket, looking very satified with his discovery.
We get a bit of a replay from last time. Bertha and Dora are in Mario’s office and Bertha is giving Dora a hard time about properly cleaning Mario’s office. Dora takes offense. She’s worked 11 years for Mario in this house with no complaint. Well, Bertha’s in charge now.

Don't watch the show, Vivi, but bless you for spending your Saturday doing something wonderful for other people. The world needs more Vivis in it.
Hello Vivi,I am so impressed. Building a neighborhood playground seems so fulfilling.A heartfelt thank you on behalf of all the children in that neighborhood.Jeri thanks for the You Tube links.
JubyB,what a surprise!I didn't know you watched LVO.
JJ cleans up very nicely and his description of what he wanted done was so funny. I wasn't sure if he was talking about Ale or the house.Roberto is now stealing from women.Can he sink any lower?
Happy Saturday everyone.
Hanna

Have a nice day, Vivi. :) Building a playground is great.
Jeri, thanks for the links!
I loved the Pretty Woman scenes with JJ and Asunción in the elegant shop.

Vivi, enjoy your day building the playground. It's a wonderful thing to do for children.
OMG, OMG...the moment I've waited for and I wasn't disappointed...J J cleaned up and looking soooo handsome. I loved Mina's reaction on seeing this vision of manliness and beauty.
This episode was fun and speed by in a minute. Marcos' and whats-her-name are in for a lot of trouble since Adolfo will eventually track him down but in the meantime Roberto practically destroyed Gabi's apartment. He is so vile.
Poor Medina has helped J J and Elsa out but Ale was too attractive for J J to pass up as his architect/remodeler/designer. Maybe he has an ulterior motive to gain info on her Uncle Mario but I don't think so. I think he's just very much attracted to her and vice versa.

Vivi, Best wishes on what you're doing. Children never forget the sheer joy of a playground. I know I haven't.
So much is happening, my head is spinning. A cleaned-up JJ - be still my beating heart. Not sure why he gave his last name as "Ocampo" instead of "Victoria" as he's always done before.
Elsa and Medina - glad she's getting attention from a good man (not to mention a "hot" one). Hoping Medina stays good for everybody's sake.
Poor Julieta and Gabriela. They'll be terrified when they return home. I must've be crazy for thinking that Roberto would've snooped in their apartment without turning it upside down.

Niecie:

He doesn't want the Genovés clan to know the poor jailbird Juan José Victoria (Victoria Ocampo) and the rich playboy Juan Ocampo are the same person.

A few facts about Alejandra Barros: she was born in 1971, she was 35 when she made LVO and she has a son.
Her first telenovela was Huracán in 1997 in which she had an important side role. The show was produced by Rebeca Jones and Alejandro Camacho, the protagonistas were Eduardo Palomo (the famous Juan del Diablo of the 1993 version) and Angélica "La Duena/La Gaviota" Rivera.
Her one and only real protagonist role was Mariana in Mejía's show called Mariana de la noche in 2003. As I said before in a CS post, Mejía wasn't afraid to hire obscure but promising actresses until 2006 when Mundo de fieras failed hard. Alejandra's love interest was played by the handsome Jorge Salinas, the baddies were César Évora and Angélica Rivera. It was Angélicas last telenovela before Destilando, and people say she was much more interesting and charismatic than the pale little protagonist.
There is a tacit consensus in Novelaland that Alejandra is not a protagonist material, but she can be great as a side character. She also had
She also had an episode in the first season of Mujeres Asesinas (originally hers was the first episode of the show, but later the order of the episodes was changed and the one with Lety Calderón became the pilot). It's available on youtube:

About Marco Méndez, aka Carlos: it seems he'll have a small role in Mejía's next show called Triunfo de amor. (With Will Levy, Maite Perroni, Victoria Ruffo, Daniela Romo and Osvaldo "Juan de Dios Sr." Ríos.)

Aribeth, interesting info on Alejandra Barrios. She is very beautiful and could be a runway model with her thin figure. But the impression she conveys, maybe because this is her role in the novela, is that of being a bit of an ice queen and a little snooty but not in a thoroughly obnoxious way as with Bertha. I am very much enjoying her in this novela and hopefully sparks will fly with E Y.

Oh, I am enjoying Marco Mendez, as well, and I've never had a chance see him before in any novela. But he has charisma and presence and I like his way of conveying so much with his beautiful eyes. The acting is is excellent in LVO and I enjoy how the characters are portraying shades of gray, to use Jeri's term.

Absolutely! :)
It's hard to believe that Emilio Larrosa produced such a great telenovela. I always thought he was worse than Mejía - he always had good, fresh ideas, hired good actors, he liked modern stories, but the directing and the script of the Larrosa telenovelas I've seen are over the top or simply godawful. Except this forgotten little gem.
Maybe I should give a chance to Dinero (but it's tooooooo looooooong...) and Mujeres enganadas, too. And of course I'd love to see El camino secreto.

Okay, guys, I uploaded the screencaps of episode 28 and 29.

My favourites are:
Caramelo and the polar bear

The Laugh

Mina's face when she first saw the upgraded Juan

Carlos's "I'm a poor, hungry, homeless little kitten, please, love me" look

aaand the pure chemistry :)

Take your time Vivi. It's so nice of you to work on buildign a the neighborhood playground. I can just imagine how kids will appreciate it :).
I enjoyed this episode alot. Of course the scenes with the guys picking outfits were fun but my favorite bit was the little dresses Elsa picked for Caramelo, so cute. It made me wish to be a little kid for a moment there.
Aribeth: I've always prefered Larrosa's circos to Mejía's. I didn't like the last novelas Larrosa made before LVO but his greatest strenght is how to portray the typical "naco chilango", and the life for the lower classes in Mexico City in a way that no other producer can(he just GETS IT).
As a kid I loved Muchachitas (the original, the remake was awful) and Mágica Juventud. I liked the begining of Soñadoras and bits of Amigas y Rivales but his obsession with crimes and drugs ruined those novelas for me. Also, novelas like "El Premio Mayor" and "Volver a Empezar" and others were fun, except nobody will admit to watch them because of how "nacas" those were.
Of Mejía I only watched Esmeralda and La Usurpadora in their entirety and I was constantly annoyed at the stupidity of those even if I continued watching.
I don't blame Ale Barros for the failure of her character with the public in Mariana de la Noche. From what little I watched , the character itself was very plain and annoying. If all I had to judge Lety Calderón on was Esmeralda then I'd doubt of her abilities too (even if that novela was so successful).
I think Alejandra in LVO is a very different character to Mariana in MDLN, and she got to shine here more. I'm also occasionally catching an episode or two of Para Volver A Amar, which is a different kind of novela about the trials and tribulations of four marriages of different stages in life, each with their own problems and all from diverse social classes and she really shines there too.

Hope you had a great time today Vivi. I think it was horrible the way Roberto tore up the girls apartment. He stole the ring. I think that Carlos said something earlier about the ring having good or bad luck but he didn't believe in that stuff. I am betting it brings Roberto very bad luck down the road. Can't wait for that.
I loved loved loved the shopping scenes. Little Carmelo had the best time running around picking out things she had never been able to before. It didn't look like Elsa got herself anything though.
JJ was so handsome all cleaned up and I think he is smitten with Ali. I think he is going to try and make them believe he bought the house that belonged to Victoria therefore the new name. He doesn't want them to know who he is. Even cleaned up though he still looks like himself so I'm not sure where this is going. Carlos for sure will know.
I was wondering what they were going to do with all those gold bars. It was a good thing that Medina knew what to do and they got it in the bank. I so see him with Elsa.

I'm a little surprised that people don't think Alejandra Barros is protagonist material, because I've always thought she had great charisma, even in Mariana. She is actually one of the main reasons I'm watching LVO. Then again, my taste rarely matches what is popular. Maybe AB just needed a better protagonist role.
Since I'm unlurking, thank you Jeri, Aribeth, and Vivi for covering this novela!

The makeover episode! Was wondering if that was the Almacenes Liverpool, which figured in Desencuentro.
I just watched the ep and laughed all the way through, except the last scene.
Wow, I would be so ticked off to see my spices on the floor. I'd have to hire a disaster crew to clean that whole mess up.
And the trefoil ring Roberto encountered is going to be trouble. Marcos was pretty smart to sniff the jeweler's tail and lose him.
They were typically novela thin on the details of what Medina did for their gold and how they avoided like 100% windfall taxes or whatever they are.
At least Elsa was giving Juan José the hairy eyeball about doing something for Medina. I think she's going to see to it.
Mauricio Medina has been nothing but nice to Juan José. I hope Elsa can fall in love with him and vice versa.
So, Juan José had no idea Alejandra was the hard-hat lady from the tunnel.
He told Asunción the other day that Elsa told him Mario's neice lived across the way -- but that he had never met her.
That's probably why he called her Alejandra Genovés.

OMG, Vivi, this recap is wonderful! You made me laugh my head off. Mini-Me Elsa, tiny orgasm? Priceless.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the understanding all. And thanks Judy for making a special appearance to cheer me on. We had over 200 volunteers throughout the day and built not only the main part of the playground in the pic, but also picnic tables, benches, walkways, a small stage, and planted trees and other greenery.
As for the show, I wish we could have gotten more of that scene with Dora and Mario after hearing JJ's name. JJ's lie about his name may work for a while with Ale if Medina keeps his mouth shut (I'm sure he will) and Carlos and Roberto don't find out he is going by another name. Which is possible if they don't run into him at the same time he's with someone who doesn't know his true identity. I'm sure resident snoop Bertha will figure it out though. :)
I just loved the shopping spree. Caramelo is such a girly girl, despite appearing to be such a tough tomboy. I loved that mini-me look.
Although it will later get her in trouble with David for sure, I really want Gabi there to protect Juli from Roberto as I am sure he will try to take things too far during their romantic date in the hotel. I feel like an enraged Gabi would be able to take care of herself well enough against Carlos if he really tries anything.

Wonderful recap Vivi and great job with the playground. That is wonderful how the people came together for a wonderful cause. Roberto really tore up the apartment didn't he. Loved how well JJ and the gang cleaned up. I had gotten use to the beard and mustache. I don't think Marco has realized yet that finding those diamonds in the shoes are going to come back to haunt him. Love how all the stories are meshing with each other.

Vivi, congratulations on the playground! What a wonderful endeavor. It will bring great joy to countless children.
Speaking of wonderful, so was your title, picutres and recap. My favorite lines were "at a local flea infested hotel" and "ever grabby of anything that is Carlos', Roberto demands that Carlos give it to him!" (another LOTR reference, I wants it, it's my birthday precious).:)
There are so many insightful things I should say but, I'm slack jawed impactata. Be still my heart. Was there ever a more handsome, charismatic man? I was a reduced to a quivering mass. The shopping scenes were so much fun and again, seeing Juan in his suit was an image that will stay with me quite a while.
Love Medina.
Thanks for the links Jeri.

Thanks Vivi for the great recap.
Thanks Jeri for the links.
I actually teared when Caramelo was picking out which dolls she wanted and having such fun in the toy store. It was wonderful to see her so happy.
JJ and Asuncion were like the Beverly Hillbillies in that store. Taking money out of his socks, lol. It was so funny.

Vivi--I admire your dedication and involvement. The playground looks great. I also admire your energy--wow--playgrounds and recapping all in the same weekend! I'm glad you're doing this TN. I like your descriptive style of writing and I love this TN.
In the following scene--"...when he says Jazmin 33, she and Mina are shocked that it’s the same house that belongs to Elsa’s friend Juan Jose Victorio (aka Juan Jose Victorio Ocampo). “Yes, he sold it to me.....” --there was some delightful stammering when JJ gets mixed up with the names of who sold him the house, or who he bought it from. I was sure the ladies were going to pick up on it, but I think he saved the day. Loved it.
Roberto was looking for the diamonds themselves in the Guillen apt, so it makes sense for him to empty the spices. I'm surprised he didn't tear the cushions to shreds, but why tip over lamps??? How come he looked behind the books on the bookshelf, but not IN each book. Oh, I guess there was a time element and the director wanted him to find the ring.
Not finding out Friday why Dora dropped the tray was mean to all of Viewerville, on the other hand, we got plenty of viewing of JJ trying on clothes....not mmmmmean at all.

Thanks, Vivi. Wow..building playgrounds and recapping novelas. I am calling you Vivi, Doer of Good Deeds. My real life telenovela has been hectic , but I was finally able to do a LVO marathon of the last 5 episodes last night . I especially enjoyed JJ's makeover. He looked muy guaypo in the new suit and tie. I like Medina. He kind of reminds me of Richard Gere. Did he play a villain in Cuidado ??? He seems like a good guy, and I am hoping that he and Elsa end up together. Elsa is so sweet and unselfish, She deserves a happy ending, and if she can't have JJ, perhaps Medina will be an excellent parting gift.

Vivi: What a lovely picture! The playground looks great. You and your neighbors did a fantastic job.
And the recap was also excellent. I love the picture of Caramelo with her Elsa outfit. So cute.
Roberto is such a creep but I'm liking the way Fabián Robles makes the character work. I had to laugh at him wanting Carlos's ring, of course.
I liked the scene with Juan José and Alejandra. He looked so flustered at the fact that she was that gorgeous woman at the tunnel and he lost his game for a moment.

Rosemary and Susanlynn- Glad you guys are getting caught up. I never did get a chance to watch all the epis I missed the other week, but the recaps Aribeth and Jeri did were perfect for catching up.
ViVi, thanks for the great recap in your action packed weekend. I love your title as well.
