Llena de Amor #94 (Mex. 99) Thu 12/23/10 A little kid abuses the rapey snake, so yes Vicky, there is a Santa Claus.
Dear Friends, I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend. I hope you cherish your families, eat some great food, read an interesting book, watch a sappy movie, and know that even if you spend time with yourself you are in very, very good company.
Capítulo 94 (I think)
Last night's lovin' was a bit rough around the edges. Tonight is more about setting things up for a more hopeful future. For some. Will Axel realize he's a schmuck? Will Oliver accept Manolo/Gretelman as a special friend? Will MariVicki do us a favor and watch What Not to Wear? Let's join our cast of crazies and see who's doing what to whom...
Paula is making a delicious vegetable soup low in fat and salt for our Don Max. Bernardo comes in, tells her Fedra wants her, and seasons the soup with his own particular brand of seasoning. Like I said yesterday, it ain’t Beano folks. Sheesh, why don’t they just put the poison right there next to the salt and pepper?
Axel attacks Delicia as we already know from yesterday. Break his skinny arms Delicia!
MariVicki tells Doris her family sucks, what’s one to do? She even feels a little sorry for dumb Kristel being in love with her nefarious good-for-nothing boyfriend. Doris has no sympathy and says they totally deserve each other, “total son tal para cual”. MV adds the same holds true for Eman marrying Ilitia, they are both revolting.
Benigno arrives and after some gallant hand-kissing tells MV his general would like to talk to her. How convenient, Emiliano arrives to invite her to dine with his family that very night. She consents and I’m thinking it’s probably a good thing she doesn’t eat much food any more.
Over at the polis station GretelMan tries to maintain her charade but keeps staring wistfully, nay lustily, at our black and blue-eyed polis. El comisario comes in and asks if he’s made any headway. I guess they are investigating Maurico because Oli and GMan say he supposedly has a canned foods business but there are no legal documents associated with such a business. It doesn’t exist. El Comi gets all excited and plans to bust Fonskanka that very night. Gman wants to join in on the bust.
Blech, back to Axel’s antics. As predicted, Delicia easily throws the wimp off of her and grabs the guitar as her weapon. Axel keeps harping on Bernardo and she says what we’ve all been saying, Axel was much nicer before he got his memory back, he was noble and good. Now he’s worse than a monster and she will never forgive him, never! She tosses the guitar at him instead of cracking it over his head.
Gman and Oli are having a little spat in front of El Comis. Oli doesn’t want Gman at the bust because last time the little chicken was a scaredy cat. Gman says it’s only because Oli acted suicidal by putting himself in front of a gun and hasn’t Oli heard, the pen is mightier than the sword? More bickering and El Comi tells Oli to shut it, Gman will be there because he’s earned it. Gman smirks at Oli over his/her big round glasses.
Benigno finds don Max practicing his rifle maneuvers. Beni seems a little unnerved that El General is taking his practice so seriously. He’s further concerned that his General doesn’t recognize him and accuses him of being a spy. “Speak or you’re a dead man!” Max accuses, pointing his rifle at Beni. I guess he ate the special vegetable soup.
Fedra and Lowrenzo are at a club getting his and her massages. He says ever since Victoria showed up it’s been pure problems at work. Then he says something about Christian. “Christian? Who is Christian?” the queen jealously asks.
MariVicki visits the orphanage. Muñeca takes her on a tour and wants to show off her favorite kids, Manzanita and the obstinate Christian who hates taking direction. Muñeca manages to get his attention momentarily with some liquid food product which he chugs with a recalcitrant scowl. Daddy would be proud.
As Eman arrives at the orphanage he tells Fidel that he will see him later that night. I think this is a telenovela clue so I’ll take note. Manzanita runs up and gives him a hug and Muñeca tells MV that Eman visits all the time and is one of their strongest supporters. She tells the Manzanita story and how he saved her from an orphaned life on the streets. MV smiles and watches the kiddies dote on Eman while Muñeca sings his praises. Is our little marshmallow going all gooey?
Lowrenzo lies to Fedra and tells her that Christian is one of his most important clients, that’s all. Fedra jealously tells him that when they are together she wants him to forget the entire world.
Eman’s secretary reluctantly meets Ilitia for lunch. She tells Ilitia to prepare herself, her husband is going after that new girl Victoria.
MariVicki tells Eman she wouldn’t have guessed she would see him at the orphanage. He tells her there is a lot about him she wouldn’t have guessed. When the love of his life Marianela left him he spent a lot of time at this place. Manzanita helped save him. He tells how he called and wrote Mari but she never answered him. She says he could have hopped a plane. He gets a pained look and in accordance with TN rules refuses to defend himself with those three little words, “I was paralyzed”.
Muñeca interrupts them to show MV some cute pics of Eman and Manzanita. Oh look he’s in a wheelchair. Muñeca tells MV that he was in a horrible accident and nobody thought he would ever recover. With his hard work and determination he beat the odds and won an international competition.
Paula and Benigno wrestle Don Max back into bed while he blathers about winning the war for peace. I think Beni gives him a happy shot and Don M falls off to sleep muttering that the enemy is near. Beni is worried that the viper Fedra will send him to the nuthouse.
Back at the club Fedra is giving Lowrenzo a hard time about seeming preoccupied and worried. Is he hiding something? Is it this Christian guy? Is Christian a woman? Low insists not but it’s too late, Fedra’s already got Christian’s name branded into her brain. Low is so preoccupied that when he orders his “usual” he doesn’t even notice the two hotties ogling him from the next table.
MariVicki wants to know exactly when Eman had his accident. He doesn’t know why she cares but it was the same day Mari left on a jet plane. He lost the woman he loved most in his life. When he woke from his accident the only thing he wanted to do was get up from his bed, run to her and put his arms around her. Mari turns away and shares her tears with us.
Over at the Polis Station the S.W.A.T. team is getting ready for the big bust. Are Brandon and Oli still mad at each other? They don their bullet-proof vests and glare at each other while Gretelman enters and tells them to make up.
Oli starts to help GMan put on a bullet-proof vest and after a bit of inept fumbling (how hard is it to put on a vest?) he realizes he’s being a little too touchy and recoils. “Put it on yourself!”
MV mutters that this changes nothing and doesn’t undo the damage Eman did to Marianela and anyway, he ended up marrying someone else. He doesn’t know what she’s talking about. He loved Mari with all of his soul. But when he had his accident who was with him day and night? Ilitia. Who never left his side? Ilitia. And MV’s great friend Mari, where was she when he needed her? That’s why he married Ilitia. Because the woman he loved abandoned him without an explanation. I pause here to raise a glass to Valentino Lanus for a scene well done. Kudos for great emotion and for not being an ugly crier.
Mari escapes outside, leans against the wall, sucks up her inhaler and insists this doesn’t change anything! He wanted to kill her for her inheritance. GAH!!!! Malicio Fonskanka appears behind her, “Here I am my precious, I’ve arrived.”
Paula tells Beni she’s never seen Don Max so bad. Nereida needles them as Fedra and Spidey join them. Nereida snaps her fingers and tells Paula and Beni to get back to work. Fedra mocks her, snapping her fingers like a flamenco dancer, and telling them ALL to leave the kitchen. (I love it when people mock Nereida which they do all the time.) Fedra congratulates Spidey that the old decrepit is finally losing his marbles once and for all. She pours a glass of water for Spidey and tells him to stay hydrated. He wisely ignores it and grabs an apple instead.
Malicio asks her why the tears? He had an unhappy childhood too, just like the poor orphans. She tells him to butt out and he’ll never have the good fortune to be with her. If he doesn’t leave her alone she’ll tell the whole world he tried to rape her. Eman sees them and starts yelling at Agent O for bothering her while MV escapes in the nearest taxi.
Someone ominously observes from a parked vehicle while Agent O joins Muñeca and enters the orphanage for some special event. Notably, Eman has a prior engagement and cannot join them.
Back at the club Lowman drinks alone and recalls dandling baby Christian at the park. He is interrupted by a club employee who introduces the two hotties to Lowman. It is their dream to become models. He reverts to form, forgets his memories, and starts drooling as he checks out their figures.
Muñeca wants to introduce Agent O to all the cute kiddies. He pretends to care. Oh this next part is the bomb. Muñeca summons Christian. Agent O picks up the fractious child who promptly sticks something up Agent O’s nose and them whacks him upside the head with both grimy little fists. Christian you are my new hero. Muñeca tells Agent O that Chris was abandoned in the street and she shows him the child’s medallion. Agent O tells the squirming bundle that they are going to be good friends, then he points his finger, gun-style, at the child’s head.
Eman has arrived home to Hell House. Fedra tells Emiliano that Don Max has finally lost his marbles and Benigno’s to blame. Poor Beni says he’s sure the crisis will pass then he skedaddles out of sight. Bernardo appears with Tio’s will, all is in order according to law. “According to law!” Fedra repeats, nodding righteously at Emiliano. Eman knows what it says, Tio leaves everything to Marianela. Nope sez Emiliano, he leaves it all to you Eman. Bernardo and Fedra gleefuly nod like a couple of bobble-head dolls.
Back at the orphanage little Christian enthusiastically pokes his finger in Orangey’s eye while Orangey pretends to teach him to shoot and explains that he must be the lost brat of Lowrenzo and here is under the nose of Low’s wife all this time. Who will pay more, Garduno or Lowrenzo? He tries to remove the medallion but Chris has a death grip on it so Orangey finally just rips it off the kid’s neck.
Muñeca shows up and Orangey gives her a line of complete bull, he’s so moved spending time with these wonderful kids. Chris is acting up somewhere down around Orangey’s legs; come on Chris, hit him in the nuts, he can’t do anything with Muñeca there. Muñeca tells Orangey she’ll see him tomorrow at some publicity event and calls Christian to follow her to eat with the other kids. Of course Chris is long gone from this scene so Muñeca exits stage right all by her lonesome.
Eman tells Emiliano something must be wrong. Tio Max told him himself that his wish was to leave everything to Marianela. “I’m so sorrrrry” Fedra snips in English, but this was Max’s ONLY legal will. Max is totally insane and so is Gretel, it runs in the family. She reads aloud, “In case of death or incapacity my nephew Eman gets everything”. Beni strides up and tells her not to sing Victoria yet, this was not the last will of Don Max!
We’re back from the commercial break but the closed captioners are still on theirs. I’ve noticed that every day this week there is a 5-15 minute period where no CCs appear. My theory is that the Llena captioner takes a break or sneaks out for a smoke. I’ll do my best here.
The S.W.A.T. team is kitting up. Brandon instructs them to stay cool, they need to surprise Fonskanka. El Comis tells them to keep it clean and he instructs Oliver to protect Manolo. The other guys tease Oli about protecting his little chick then something about watching out for the rear guard which is obviously a bad joke regarding Gman’s sexuality.
Oli pulls Gman aside and tells him not to feel bad, the guys were just joking around. Gman gives Oli a quick hug for defending him and Oli pulls back and tells him not to confuse things. He’ll respect Gman’s preferences as long as Gman respects his, OK? Gman keeps creeping closer to Oli and Oli keeps pushing him away although not quite as vehemently as before.
The CCs are back! Over at Netty’s it looks like Pacheco plans to stay for dinner. Luckily since the boys are at work there might be enough food for the bottomless pit. He reads a magazine and comments that El Lirio de Plata is now a journalist, what’s up with that? Letty defends El Lirio and Gladi says Brandon would surely be annoyed at that. Pacheco agrees, Lirio is a thief. Nety says he’s not a thief; he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Consuelo says he must be extremely ugly, that’s why he covers his face. MariVicky enters and says she’s never met anyone as valiant and strong as El Lirio. The ladies swoon.
Back at Manicomio Manor Fedra has a hissy fit and tells Beni she is the boss lady of the house and how dare he speak to her in this manner? He says excuse me but you aren’t my boss, I only report to Max and the lady of the house Marianela. Fedra explodes but Emiliano holds her back. Bernardo yells at Beni so Emiliano kicks him out of the room. To retaliate Fedra fires Beni but Emiliano says no. “It’s not fair you get to tell my slave to leave but I can’t tell yours to leave.” She leaves sobbing and shrieking and Emiliano stupidly follows her.
Eman tells Beni that they both know very well that Max wanted to leave everything to Mari so how could this will appear from nowhere? Could Max have decided to change his will when Mari left for Spain? Beni asks does Eman really think that?
Mañana: Ilitia is pissed off that MariVicky is coming for dinner. Eman kisses MariVicky.
Andar detrás = to go after
No cantar victoria = Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over (Lit. Don’t sing victory)
Nunca has escuchado que la pluma es mas fuerta que la espada? = Haven’t you heard the pen is mightier than the sword?
Es de los apoyos más fuertes = he is one of the biggest supporters
Patán nefasto= terrible good-for-nothing
Reguardar = Rear guard (I think this was a play on words with the verb resguardar which means to protect. I’m not sure.)
Tan conmovido = so moved
Ultimo voluntad = last will
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Have a 1/2 hour to myself this morning before more cooking starts, so I'm spending it enjoying your wonderful recap with a cup of holiday brew.
"Oh this next part is the bomb" - I have to say, I've never enjoyed a scene with Moron more. That initial slap to the face was hysterical (although, have to say in real life, he must be good with kids.) I'm with you Sylvia- little Christian is one of my heros, right there with Delicia. And you go girl! Fuzz top was way out of line. I was actually hoping she'd hit him with the guitar.
I loved the scene with Eman telling Mari what happened the day she left. Gees, he moved me to tears. I just wish Mari would take a breath and think; this man LOVED this woman, still does, defends her, has her picture in his office....why would he have tried to kill her for her money. He wound up marrying Ilitia - if he wanted the money so bad, why didn't he still go running after her to win her over (even after said accident?). At some point, she's got to start realizing things aren't adding up - hope it's not episode 200.
Methinks Eman and Fidel are in cahoots - or I hope so. Every super hero needs a side-kick.
Back to the last of the baking and start getting ready for the family tonight. Have a WONDERFUL holiday everyone!!!

I was so impressed with Valentino Lanus in the scene where he explains why he couldn't run after Marianela. It's great that he can do serious romantic scenes after all the slapstick type comedy stuff.
I'm ahead of you all by a couple of episodes. I haven't been able to quit watching. Eman just can't help himself around VM and it's delightful to watch LOL!

Great recap. Mari/Vicky watching what not to wear-laughed my butt off on that line.
The scene with Mari & Eman made me emotional too. Valentino acted so well he looked like he needed a hug, I am ready whenever he needs one :)! And Christian, you go kid punch that orange face till he juices.
I just want to say Merry Christmas to all the recappers of CarayCaray. As much as I love Telenovelas, my spanish is non-exsitent. I got hooked on TN's years ago by my sister who was watching one that co-workers were talking about, she took Spanish in high school so she was able to get the gist of what was being said & explain to me.
I would watch some from time to time figuring out what was going on, cause as they say all soaps are alike when it comes to storylines, but never on a regular basis.
Then along comes La Fea Ma Bella, which I had to watch religously. So when I went & google a site that would give me an English synospis, I found CarayCaray & have been happy ever since. First with LA Fea, then YO Juan, Tontas & now Llena. & with the closed caption & wonderful recaps, I am beginging to understand some Spanish. So thanks to all of you, I am so glad you are here.
Feliz Navidad, Nollaig Shona Duit(thats Irish), Merry Christmas!!

Daisy, Audrey and Maureen, thank you for stopping by this morning.
Maureen, I'm so glad that you found Caray, Caray and have been able to use it as a resource. We really appreciate everyone's feedback. Wow, Merry Christmas in Irish? I just did a search on the pronunciation and that's a mouthful to a non-Irish speaker! Gives me something to practice.
Audrey, I'm not surprised you find it irresistable to peek at the upcoming episodes, and thank you for not giving anything away in the comments. Yep, if the previews can be believed we have some hot times ahead with Eman and Mari.
Daisy, I think you could be right about Fidel being in cahoots with Eman. That would explain how Eman is able to make the switch so easily. Plus, if Fidel can pinch hit as El Lirio then Eman will occasionally have an alibi, right? Oh I love this story line!
Well, it turns out that since half of our family is sick and the other half doesn't want to get sick our Christmas Eve festivities are postponed until Sunday. I guess we will celebrate Boxing Day instead of Christmas Eve. Daisy, you've inspired me to do some baking which I hadn't planned on doing.
Merry Christmas all!

What a surprise to find this wonderful recap up so early on Christmas Eve, I thank you.
This TN is getting better and better. There are so many plots and so many evil characters that it is never dull. Some days it is like watching a Roadrunner cartoon. We are almost the halfway mark and we are beginning to see resolution. This is so much better than everything being resolved in the last episode.
Gman and Oli are my favorites. Gman is following Oli around like a little cute puppy and right under Fedra's nose - too funny.
Pacheco needs to just rent a room at the Casa Naco, just think of the gas money he would save.
Well I am off to bake a pie so thank you once again and
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Sylvia, thanks for taking time from your holiday preparations to prepare this tasty morsel for us. Sorry about the sickness in your family. Judging by the flow of patients through our office this past week, yours is not an unusual situation. I hope everyone gets well quickly and that you and yours as well as all of our friends here at CC have a very Merry Christmas.
That little Cristian is a hand full and whom better to direct his impudence toward? I agree with daisynjay that Mauricio (the actor, not the character) seems to be good with kids. Mauricio just continues to accumulate his satanic frequent flier miles by wondering who will pay more for the little tyke, Lorenzo or Garduño. Chilling.
I have to admit that Manny tugged my heartstrings with his recap of the last 2 yrs. I especially like the credit that he gives to Ilitia for sticking with him. That was probably especially painful for our marshmallow to digest. I'm enjoying watching Vicky's rancor fade as the old Mari gradually slides back in.
This show is paralleling STuD a bit with it's main theme. Sweet innocent love replaced by bitterness over betrayal followed by re-softening.
I think the director, writers, and actors having fun with the gay themes. First Axel with his gay introspection triggered by heterosexuality run amok, and now Oliver attracted to Manolo unaware that it is really Gretel, his feminine true love.
Hello to daisynjay, Audrey, and Maureen this morning. I'm glad that everyone is having such a good time with this show.

Hello all, A very Merry Christmas!!
Sylvia, my favorite line in this great recap was where you suggested they just keep the poison next to the salt and pepper. (coffee up the nose!) How many poisonings does that make, 4 or 5?
I also went all gooey when Eman explained to Vicky/Mari about his accident. Lanus is a spectacular actor - and extremely easy on the eyes!
Love naughty Christian. He's all boy, terrible twos perhaps? Great job poking Orangey.
Only one of our three children will be here this year, but we expect to have a good time with the one we have.
Love to all the recappers and commenters. I consider you my friends.

Merry Christmas everybody and thanks for a wonderful recap Sylvia. I concur that Valentino Lanus did a great job conveying Eman's emotions when he explains why he didn't go after Mari and why he married Ilitia. My eyes welled up as well. I too agree that now Mari should start to put two and two together and realized that she judge Eman harshly and didn't give him the benefit of the doubt.
I wonder if the General will be put away now because of the spiked soup.
I was glad that Delicia gave Axel a verbal smackdown. He's gone from bad to worse since he regained his memory.

I think Aribeth must have brought Televisa's christmas video earlier but just in case: several Llena actors appear here.

Merry Christmas!!
Thanks for the recap Sylvia. I hope those sick in your family recover quickly and the others stay healthy. I am doing my usual late night baking and stopped by. I too loved little Christian taking his aggression out on Agent O. And hurray for Dee saying what we all thought to that idiot Axel.
I was also impressed with Lanus. As Emilia said he's a great actor and good to look at as well.
Thanks for the clip Jarocha. It's fun seeing all those TN stars together and singing no less.

Jarocha, thanks for the great clip. It's fun to see a smiling "Rosendo" walking with "Al" and "Malicio Fonskanka" swinging and swaying with "Aunt Netty". And did I catch a glimpse of Ernesto LaGuardia? I love that guy, not to mention Fernando Colunga and all our other favorites.
Our Christmas Eve got even kookier last night. Just as I was about to put a big pan of lasagna in the oven our power went out. After a couple of hours I was pretty sure that dinner at our place was hosed, so we packed everything up and drove over to my sister's house which is only about 10 miles away. I guess that was Christmas Eve Plan C. Power didn't come back on until around 1:00 a.m. I think. I read that about 3,000 houses lost power but most of them got it back around 7:00 p.m., however ours was the only street not to get it back on until the wee hours of the morning. Lucky us!
Merry Christmas everyone!!

Merry Christmas, Sylvia! So, how was the lasagna after all the travel? I hope your family is healthy, or healthier at least.
Mike has been soaking, roasting and cooling his Kentucky ham for the last several days. This morning he carved it - YUM! We may not want much Christmas roast beef later on today since we've all been picking at the ham.
We'll go to the nursing home later on to celebrate with Mike's mom and take her some pie.
Happy, happy to everyone!

The lasagna was just delicious. We all laughed that we had never had lasagna for our Christmas Eve dinner before but what the heck. Hopefully everyone will feel well enough tomorrow for the big feast.
We are getting ready to go visit Tom's mom for Christmas. She has a hard time eating anything but made a special request for a bag of the homemade toffee that sis and I made a couple of days ago.
Kentucky ham? YUM!! I love it. First you get to eat the roast, then you get to make Hot Browns with the leftover slices, then you get to boil the bone in a big pot of beans. Not to mention Red Eye Gravy. It's gift that keeps on giving.

Hi Sylvia. Just dragged in from Charlotte. Snow in northern NC and we felt pretty nervous but not bad through the mountains and completely clear the rest of the way. Boy were we relieved.
Didn't see the episode, of course, and it didn't get recorded but hope I can find it on the internet. I love seeing little Christian act up! So true to life. Our two were pretty well behaved but the six-year-old was counting presents and decided she didn't get as many as the two-year-old. (not true) But she snipped, Well, I guess Jack has been better than me this year, he got more!" Ah green-eyed monster! Felt like I was back in telenovela land.
Loved your recap Sylvia, as well as the Christmas family stories and your love of ham. I got our son a honey-baked ham to gnaw on while we were gone and look forward to making bean soup when he's done with it.

JudyB, try noseq.com to find this capitulo of LDA. Glad everyone is safe. Just got back from my friend/sister's home and we had a great time. Looking forward to Monday's LDA. Merry Christmas everyone and stay safe. It's snowing in Richmond,VA so I'm unsure about church tomorrow.

Thanks so much for the terrific recap and for including the vocabulary! You're a great boost in helping me learn Spanish!
Thanks Barbara M. That's just where I went!So glad you found that site for us.
Got a big kick out of little Chris' misbehavior. Thought Muñeca covered it well, when he ran off in the wrong direction by saying "Send Christian after me." Suspect they have to adlib a lot with that little terror as well as develop some real arm strength holding on to him. He reminds me of Dennis the Menace.
Hope you can get to church in spite of the snow. That's where I'm headed now.
Welcome Sandy. Glad you are learning Spanish here. That's the whole point...to learn and have fun doing it. Sure beats the classroom!

Sandy, I'm so glad you find the recaps helpful.
Judy, I'm very relieved that you made it "sano y salvo" through the mountains. Such a cute and funny little tale about your grandkids, thank you for sharing it.
Emilia, one of my old roommates married a girl from Kentucky. She would order a Kentucky ham every year so we learned the ritual. Doh! I forgot ham biscuits, my favorite. She also introduced us to Burgoo. How come every time we talk I get hungry?

Burgoo!! Wow, girl, you might as well move to Lizard Lick, or Monkey's Eyebrow! You got the KY in you!
Barbara, are you in Richmond? We are in Yorktown - and getting hammered with snow!! Our son lives in Richmond but is here for Christmas, and probably a couple of extra days. Right now he and two friends are out playing in the snow! Oh to be 28 again!

Emilia, for once eastern VA got slammed more than central. It was a mess going to church today, but I could get out of my complex onto Broad Street and things were clearer. I hope you don't lose electricity. The reports said that your area would get around 10 inches. My sister lives in Maine and they are expecting some really severe weather. Be glad you're not on Eastern Shore as they have blizzard conditions. Stay warm, dry, and safe.

JudyB and Sylvia – I’m just now catching up and I loved both your recaps. Terrific reads with lots of funny bits. You two rock! Loved all the comments too.
We’re all admiring Lanus’s acting, but I was disappointed in the Vicki actress’s response. She was totally flat and expressionless while he told the story of his accident. You’d think she’d at least twitch an eyebrow or something. Then later she shed a few tiny tears. Big deal. This was a pivotal scene and she really needs to be there!
