Eva Luna #61 Mon 1/31/11 Mama Marcela Pays A Price For Her Pesos and The Bimbutt Gets Her Man
Cap. 61
First the 2 minute replay: Malevolent Marcela is griping at Don Julio’s lawyer about forcing her to come there to read Julio’s letter. He tells her he’s only following instructions. She wants to know when the next one is due. He still cannot tell her. After the harpy reads it she screams that this is over the top and isn’t possible! At the boarding house, Ricardo walks in on Tomas packing his duffel bag and blocks his way out of the door. Don Ric demands to know why Tomas hates his son so much.
Mad Marcy curses Julio over what he’s written in the letter. She feels she’s being blackmailed by a dead man and she refuses to do what it says. The lawyer tells her to calm down and think it over, because it’s the only way she’ll get access to her bank accounts again. “--It’s unacceptable!” He says it’s fair, though. She asks what he’s insinuating by that. He explains that from what her husband told him before he died, it’s putting an end to a huge lie that has cause a lot of pain. She harrumphs and leaves. After she’s gone he says to himself that this is only the beginning; that she has no idea what is about to come. (Works for me! I can hardly type because I’m rubbing my hands with such anticipation!)
Back at Justa’s, Tomas is telling off Ol’ Ric with the same nasty stick yer nose out of it crap. Ric says Adrian’s a good kid and deserves some TLC. Finally Tomas knocks past him and says the kid should never have been born!
Mad Marcy’s come home from the attorney’s. Renata asks how it went. Marcy says bad. Each day Julio has her cornered even more and he now has more power over her in death than when he was alive. “--All because of that damned Eva! She’s the cause of all the nasty things happening to me!” She refuses to answer anything more and yells impatiently at Ren to get out of her way.
In the kitchen at Eva’s fancy new digs, Tia Matilde wants to know what else Julio mentioned about the “transformation” with Eva. Nothing much, she says, but to prepare her to go back to the Arismendi manse and begin their plan for revenge. Mati wants to know why it involves Eva. Eva explains that his wife was using her to poison him and also because she and her two kids were doing everything they could to humiliate her.
Speaking of the malicious Marcela, she’s gone to her room and started whining again that Julio’s succeeding and turning out to be even more intelligent dead than he was when he was alive. (Well, he did create an advertising empire. He just wasn’t paying attention before.) She reads the letter again, crumples it up and angrily tosses it onto her bed.
Back at Eva’s, she tells her aunt that she’s also going back to avenge her father’s death. Mati doesn’t like Eva’s attitude. She’s not this way she says. Eva agrees that she wasn’t, but life has taught her that the weak get trampled. From now on nobody is going to step on her! Mati asks her again if she really thinks that Daniel was responsible for her daddy’s death. Eva says that’s what they told her. Mati says it’s not what they said, it’s what her heart tells her. Eva says her heart isn’t part of this. Mati says not to close herself off this way because from what she’s told her about her and Daniel, something tells her the man could very well be innocent. Eva needs to speak with him before attempting any revenge.
Downtown at the firm, Leonardo is having a heart to heart with Bruno. He wants to insure that Bruno’s friendship can be counted on. Bruno assures him it can. (Viewerville thinks it’s gotta be hard for Bruno crossing all his toes in those stylish dress shoes!) He brings up how he’s noticed Leo is really hot for the new make-up artist. Leo admits she’s just another in a long list of conquests. They snicker. FF&>>
A bit later, Tony has an appointment there at the firm with Leo also. This time, says Leo with a glint of evil in his eye, it’s his turn to bring up Alicia. Tony swallows hard. “--Your really great at threatening women, Tony.” Tony tries to play innocent. Leo tells him not to play the fool because it doesn’t look good. He invites Tony to play darts with him. When Tony gets close enough, Leo grabs him and holds a dart to his throat and then threatens him with it. “--I’m talking about Alicia and the way you are frightening her.” Tony asks what it’s got to do with Leo. Leo growls that it’s got to do with her working for him now, and that it puts him in a nasty mood when Tony slugs down four drinks to get his “courage up”. Leo says he won’t stand for him to put a hand on a single hair of hers. Tony grunts back he’ll have to put up with it cuz she’s his girlfriend and he’ll treat her any way he feels best. Leo tells him he won’t touch her again, because if he does Leo will first fire him and then he’ll kill him after. “--Now scram!” Tony leaves, anger in check.
Back at the manse, Marcy tells the detective she and Daniel are withdrawing the charges against Eva for theft. It was all a misunderstanding and they don’t want the girl to be wrongly accused of a crime. “--We all make mistakes, detective.” He agrees to and she bear hugs him. (Damn, she almost squeezes him to death!) He thinks to himself afterwards that there’s something fishy about all of this.
Leo is now waiting for Alicia in a restaurant. He worries that she might stand him up, but Ali shows just like he figured she would. She says she was thinking of not coming and was a bit upset about what happened the last time, but he did give her a job and she didn’t want him to think she was ungrateful. He flatters her to loosen her up and then butters her up saying it’s her beauty that made him lose all sense of priority. He now knows she’s a respectable girl. He then makes a big deal out of apologizing and gives her a gigantic bouquet of roses and a two sacks with gifts in them. It works like clockwork. Alicia is dazzled by the swine. He tells her he wants to formalize their relationship. They toast to the moment.
Leo mentions his sister’s wedding is in a few days and that she’s marrying--who else-- Daniel. Ali curses. She hates him! She remembers who Victoria is and is embarrassed to bring up the fact that Daniel and Eva were engaged. Life’s full of surprises, he says. He asks her how her sister is and if she’s heard from her. Ali says no, she hasn’t heard anything for days. He thinks to himself that she’ll spill it all in no time. He takes her hand and smoothly starts in about themselves. “--Well, enough about them. Let’s concentrate on us.” He can’t think of anything but her when she’s around, says the spider to the fly. Alicia is enthralled. They kiss. She says she doesn’t want to be another affair for him. He promises she won’t be. (Oh, Alicia! What an air-head!) This is the beginning of something very serious, believe me, he says. They kiss again. (What a silver tongued snake!)
Renata comes in to clean up Marcy’s bedroom and finds the crumpled note. Of course (thank gawd) she reads it. “Marcela, by now you’ll have taken out your jewels and you will have decided you’d die rather than do without them, right? Je-je! I know you, woman! I suffered you too many years! As I was so generous a man, I offer you once more a favorable solution: If you withdraw that perverse accusation against Eva, my lawyers will automatically free up the bank accounts we shared. I offer you hands full of money in exchange for a little bit of justice for that girl. You decide.”
At Justa’s later on, Ricardo tells Justa what happened with Tomas earlier and what he said about his son. They’re both shocked and heartbroken over it. “--The man doesn’t have a soul or a heart!” The topic turns to Justa and him again. He proposes to her. She says it wouldn’t be fair to him and she’s not ready. Maybe she will be later on and then can give him the love he deserves. (Dunno, maybe he’d have better luck with Justa’s BFF, Beatriz.) FF>>
Marisol and Francisco meet again outside the mall. She asks why he wouldn’t use a realtor. He says he doesn’t trust them. Then he says it’s over. She thinks he means the relationship. He tells her he means he won’t buy a mansion. He spins another yarn about how he spent a couple million helping out a friend and doesn’t have the cash now. He has other places to live, i.e., New York and Paris so no reason to, but if she wants one then she can buy it. Mari continues playing her role and shirks away from that idea. She says no. No need. Another stand off between two penniless con artists. FF>>
Days pass. Dano is getting his suit ready for the wedding. Laurita comes in and says, yes, Jackie has bought her her clothes for the wedding but she’s not going. She again tries to talk her daddy out of making a big mistake when he is still in love with Eva, but he refuses to listen. (Ever heard of “out of the mouth of babes”?) She leaves.
Across the way at V-icky’s, she and Mama are merrily discussing her dress for the wedding. She’s wearing something simple, but will dress in a gown for the church wedding. She feels a little strange it’s only a civil wedding. What will her friends think? Mama says it only makes sense so soon after her daddy’s death. They’re still in mourning, remember? Oh, yeah. Ok. That works for her. Big smile! Icktoria is soooo glad because she’s finally caught Daniel! (I’d rather use the other meaning for atrapar, “trapped”). So much for thinking fondly of dear dead daddy.
Eva is still in bed and remembering making love to Daniel. Dan is thinking about the same thing while he is supposed to be getting dressed for the ceremony. (Definitely doesn’t look promising for Icky’s wedding night!) His cell rings and he answers, but there’s nobody talking on the other end. It’s Eva but she’s too rattled to say anything. He guesses it’s her and asks her to say something. She hangs up. She wonders how he knew it was her. Dano thinks it couldn’t have been her and that he’s going crazy. He now has doubts and remembers all the dubious statements from Franc --especially how nutty Icky was after he broke up with her; also he remembers Laurita saying he's marrying Icky on the rebound just because he’s mad at Eva. He ignores these, though.
At the same time, Eva thinks she was crazy to have called him. Her only choice is to hate him and “to convince” herself that he killed her father.
Back at the boarding house, Justa asks Alicia why she’s not at work today. Ali says there’s a wedding so there’s nothing going on today. She wonders if Tony’s apologized yet. Ali says no and she doesn’t expect him to, either. Ali then mentions her new Prince Charming. Justa’s very happy for her. (We aren’t.)
Renata comes to tell Marcy that the agency employees are arriving for the ceremony and the judge is on his way. (Some guest list! The best she can do is her employees? The employees get a day off but it's only to work at being happy for the bosses bitchy bimbutt daughter. Some day off!) Marcy thanks Renata for having brought her V-icky all those years ago. Ren says no use discussing it now. She tells Ren that her sister should be grateful she kidnapped her little girl and gave her to Marcy. The girl was raised with every luxury and is now marrying a millionaire. Ren starts to leave, but Marcy grabs her by the wrist and says she feels that every since Justa appeared at the house, Ren’ been having doubts. Ren says it’s way too late for that. Marcy smiles evilly, pinches Ren's mouth with her nasty gloved hand, and hints broadly that as long as she recognizes it and keeps quiet she’ll stay alive.
Eva calls. Ali wants know if D. Julio found her and if she was right to tell him where she was. Eva says he did and it was fine. Ali actually did her a favor telling him, but nobody else can know! Ali says fine. (Let’s hope she can remember that the next time Leo plies her with a little bubbly!) Ali tells her that Dan and Icky are getting married that day and that Eva was right thinking the guy was only playing games with her.
Dan’s made it to the Arismendi’s to take his place in front of the judge. He’s pacing and obviously nervous. Everyone there notices and makes funnies about it. The sexrataries get a big yuk out of it too, but Icky gets the last laugh on them!
Eva can’t believe he’s marrying Icky. She’s resolved more than ever to hate him. (Seems to me you either do or you don’t. Hate isn’t exactly an emotion you have to work at!)
The half-happy couple say their vows and it’s official. Marcy, Icky, Ren and Leo all take a deep breathe and can relax now. Icky tells Mama how grateful she is that she taught her to go after what she wants. Leo mentions kids. Icky and Mama tell him to hush his mouth. Marcy doesn’t want grandkids and Icky isn’t wrecking her figure. Kids cost you sleep and give you wrinkles, she says. The four toast the couple and so does the crowd.
Eva’s crying and Don Julio wants to know why, but Eva won’t discuss it with him.
Back at the reception, Leo tells Icky that Dan looks like he might be thinking of Eva still. No problem, says Icky. She’s Dano’s reality now. Besides, the woman isn’t anywhere near them. Besides, Icktoria can be his greatest happiness or his worst nightmare! (Wimp that he is, I bet he’s in for what’s behind door #2.)
Laurita is so sad, even chocolate ice cream doesn’t excite her. Jacky bombs at trying to get her to cheer up. The only good thing about the wedding is that he and the witch will be gone a few weeks on their honeymoon and they’ll have a chance to get used to the idea of her being there. Her dad even forgot/left his phone on the hall table he was in such a hurry. (They’re going straight from the wedding it seems.) Jacky goes to answer the doorbell while Laurita continues to mourn.
Julio calls Lic. B. to find out if Marcy withdrew the charges. The lawyer says yes she did eventually, though she was dead set against it. Julio tells him to get the second letter ready now. Lic. B. asks if he is certain he wants to take things in this direction. Julio says he’s completely sure......

Jar: Amiga...you got every single little detail in your wonderful nuanced way! Gracias!
The best part of this whole capitulo for me was when Cruella Marcella gave the detective the bear hug. Did you see his body language? He pulled himself away as she was hugging him and then after she hugged him, he had one of those 'oh my gosh...I've been hugged by a creep' kind of looks! It was priceless. His look when he was pondering the significance of the drop in charges was totally different from the 'icky' look.
Speaking of Bimbutt...she looked ridiculous in that dress...not quite the trailing butt as in Skank Ho Ivana, but rapidly approaching that same state! Her rear end is throwing off her center of gravity! HA!
The actriz playing Cruella appears to have a limp. Some times, it is quite pronounced and other times, it looks as if she is working very hard to hide it, but it's that lipstick...ack! It's even worse than what they did to Helmet Head Leonor in STuD...and these ugly clothes that Cruella wears. Oy!
I'm curious...why is Leo the Slimy Snake wanting to get chummy with Bruno? Have I missed something there?
Gracias, Jar!!!

Susanita: dunno about Bruno. Guess we'll have to wait and see. He does know Bruno's reputation as a gigolo tho'. I wonder if he was discussing that with him or not.
Great work!
Do Leo and Icky know about Bruno? If they don't I can't wait until they find out. It's going to be hilarious to see them both have tantrums over how their mother is making a fool of herself.
It's great to see Marcela squirm! She's also going to have a fit when she realizes that Bruno bilked her out of some serious cash.
I suspect the honeymoon will be cut short. Does anyone else think that Dan will have performance issues that Viagra can't fix?

Jardinera, thanks for the great complete recap.
The bear hug was strange wasn't it. Marcella was just so glad to be able to get her hands back on the money. I can't wait to see what the next letter says.
Marta, I sent you an e-mail about switching nights with me this week. I have to work thurs morning. If you can't switch, let me know and I will figure something else out.
Thanks again Jardinera, this was a tough one to watch and I missed a bunch of stuff cuz I kept walking away from the TV.

Pata/martai: Aren't there premios on Thursday, so there's no show? Or do I have my dates wrong and that's next week?
UrbanAn: Yeah, I do! I see 3 wks. or however many of Dano wishing he had a case of little blue pills around Icky. I hope she snores!
Jardinera,
Thanks for the great recap, I didn't know that Daniel and Icky-toria where going to the honeymoon right after. At least that gives Jacky, Franco, and Laurita a little breathing room before she moves in.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to think that hug between Marcella and the detective was weird and uncomfortable. That poor guy must of been thinking WTH.
Why didn't Eva tell D Julio that Daniel & Vicky where married that day. I'm sure he would have found a way to stop the wedding. speaking of the wedding did they not have rings to give each other.
Susanita your right Vicky's dress was whorish. this whole chapter was just upsetting to me. All the charters were looking through rose color glasses. Michele in PA

thanks for the great recap and snark comments! right on the money! I was about to run to the restroom when he said I do..
you are sooo right, amiga.
(Wimp that he is, I bet he’s in for what’s behind door #2.)
Absolutely!! and with the embezzle behavior and decisions he has shown lately, he does not deserve any better (ITA with his trying to convince Laurita that they will be happy with Vicky, that he will learn to love... and so will she) yeah right, as long as you are not busy wrestlying knives and guns out of her hand before she gets rid of your daughter... dumb a__!!

Jar: Gracias, amiga. I wasn't following the conversation between Leo and Bruno in terms of why it was even happening. Do you think that Leo already suspects something? I
didn't realise that Leo knew that Bruno was a registered gigolo. So, that would make sense he might want to keep tabs on Bruno.
UA: Viagra! Ok! This will be part of Dano's suffering for jumping the gun and marrying the nightmare of his dreams!
Michele: ITA about that dress!

Jardinera- Great recap. I am loving Julio's plan so far. I really want Eva to tell him the whole story behind her father's death, including who told her about the car so that he can properly investigate. Dan did himself no favors by marrying Vicky. He is going to have to eat major crow with Laurita and Eva once he knows the truth about the false accusations against Eva and remembers how crazy Vicky is. I'm afraid the breaking point will be when he finally, for the first time, sees Vicky being cruel to Laurita. So far she has managed to keep the nastiness behind his back.
As for Leo and Bruno- They already knew each other from way back, and Leo knows Bruno is a womanizer. When Leo introduced Marci to Bruno wasy back when at that fashion show, Leo pulled him aside and told him to keep his womanizing hands off his mom. So yes, he knows what kind of guy Bruno is, but no, he does not know that he's seduced his mother.

I loved it when (I think it was Bruno's cousin) told Vicky that she will look like a queen when she gets that wedding gown she is bragging about on and marries by church. and Veekee replied 'and I don't look like it(a queen) now??' as if the whole world should crawl at her feet... NOT!!!
Somehow I had the wild thought last night that Laurita would somehow end up with Eva for a while after VeeKee runs her out... and Eva and Tia Tilde will have her with them for a while...
If Don Julio does not stick around till the end, I really want Tia Tilde to at least... I would not really want an end of hers like Tia in El manantial... she does not deserve to be victim of a failed attempt to kill Eva.

Thanks Jardinera - I turned in late to the show, saw that sorry excuse for a "dress" Icky had on and hit the remote. So thanks for the recap. I guess we knew we had to have the real lovers separated somehow - how else to drag the TN out.
So Eva will get bitchy, probably start into the agency (or a rival one?) and Icky will go nuts again as Dano starts having the hots again for Eva, especially when he finds out Marcy is claiming the money stealing was a mistake (or set up).Poor Laurita...
Can't believe the Fran/Mari charade is still dragging on.

It will be terrific when Eva finally takes possession of their house and kicks out Marcy, Ren and Leo!!
I don't know why nobody's mentioned this yet but a religious ceremony is all you need in the US; a Catholic wedding counts as the legal ceremony and you don't need a civil one.
As for Marcie and Bruno, I picture either Icky or Leo catching them flagrante delicto somehow -- or Daniel catching this at the office. That will be cause for champagne!

I keep hoping Tony will show dumb Alicia that photo of Leo and Eva that he stole BEFORE Alicia succumbs to this jerk.
Also Eva will be quite amazed to hear about such a photo. Maybe make her question her belief in Leos lie about Dano being the one who hit her father
Thanks for recap which I really need because my Spanish still not good. I dont like to turn on the English cc's because then I cant consetrate on trying to understand

Does anyone else think Renata might jump Cruella's ship sooner rather than later or at least as soon as she finds out Julio is alive.
OAN, I LOVED Guy's facial expressions of being such a scared lost puppy in such a pool of gossipers and hyennas... poor man... and to think if he only trusted his heart and Eva a bit more he would avoid himself all the 'nightmare' he is just walking into.

Loved Dano's face when he first saw VeeKee in such an inappropriate short high cleavage dress for their civil wedding... if she wants attention, she is going to get it, but the wrong type IMO. poor Dano... here here... (hug pat hug ... wait, what am I doing? Slapping and elbowing and knocking him on the head with a candlestick is more like it.)
EMARIE--I left you a long answer to your two questions on Alicia/Leo and Marcie's plans on the last posting.

Kalum: You're right not to use the English CCs. My Spanish teacher always suggested the Spanish ones (CC1) because it helps you see what they're saying and to think of the vocabulary as you hear it. Your comprehension speeds up much more than you realize. Also, if there's a vocabulary word or phrase, you are better able to look those up. Good luck!
Had to get my message to EMarie first. Now, Jardinera--priceless prose. Thank you.
Haven't finished reading all the comments yet, but for Susanita et al:
The Bruno factor. In one of the early episodes (I think it was after the fashion show) it seems as though Bruno and Leo know each other and know each other as letches, er, ladies' men.
When Bruno started gushing over Marcie, Leo reacted as though it was gross. So, I don't think Vicky or Leo know about their mom playing footsie, handsie and doing the horizantal with Bruno.

Good point about the civil vs. religious weddings in The U.S. and Mexico. IMHO we could probably chalk this up to a 1st generation cultural thing. Too, Dan wanted a quickie wedding and so the religious thing didn't work if they needed the formal bands, etc. BUT that brings up Dan's memories of the failed church wedding with Eva and no church bands (announcements? as opposed to wedding rings) and perhaps he wanted to avoid that. Also, a civil wedding would leave him free if he wanted to fly to L.V. for a quickie divorce which I'm sure he'll want after a couple months with the bimbutt. Could be the priest is American/Bicultural and/or less conservative since there were no bands with Dan's first wedding attempt. Confusing, huh.
Yes, I seem to remember Leo giving Bruno the evil eye at that other party also. He also warned his mother but she laughed him off I believe.
Gees, I like that idea about Tony possibly getting even with Leo by showing Alicia the faked photo of Eva in bed with Leo. That would definitely put a different spin on things!!
Oh, and what is it with chocolate ice cream, anyway? Eva has it when she's sad and glad, Justa and Alicia do, too and I think we've seen Laurita and Jacky having at it.
Well, xocoatl was the divine drink of the Aztec gods, so I guess there is a place for it in Mexican telenovelas and imported to L.A. (by way of Miami, no?).

me too!! even if that will make Alicia question Eva, it will definitely take her far from Leo.
OAN,
did anyone else find it creepy the way Renata moved her eyebrows while she was reading Julio's letter to Marcela after Marcela left it on her bed?

and the phone commercials were stating the scene that was just coming next instead of just stating the one that had just happened... weird. I think I caught that thursday and friday.
Thanks for the recap Jardinera. I can't believe he married that woman but it will extend the plot and make him have to eat crow for ages (if he or his child aren't almost killed first).
In the storyline I hate the most, I hope Adrian's father messes up w/Leo again and they just get rid of him. What horrible character.
Though I want Tony gone too, I believe he'll be with us for a while so I do hope he shows Alicia that photo.

UrbAn--Viagra won't fix his fixation on Eva--especially if she keeps showing up in her red dress at just the right moment.
That bear hug was completely out of character for Marcela. She seems to me to be the type that doesn't want to be touched by anyone, not even her children. She's been quite perfunctory in showing any physical affection for Leo and Vick.
Love the idea of Marci and Bruno being caught in flagrante delicto. Unfortunately for Marcie, I think Brun's flag is no longer flying high for her.
I keep on saying--WHERE IS CLAUDIA? This was her BFF wedding. I don't think she suspects Marcie of having caused her miscarriage. So unless they fired Greidys Gil as the actress way back when, there's no rational explanation for her absence.
The wedding dress--ITA with all the comments. I guess the wardrobe dept ran out of material. On the other hand, the script writers don't want us to make the mistake that she is a senorita decente y humilde.
Someone asked about the modesty of the dresses she and Claudia have been wearing and how do they manage not to have them ride up when sitting. If you notice, just before they sit down, they strategically place their hands between their legs so the camera doesn't see up the dress.
It was maddening to be left not knowing who is ringing the doorbell. Thank goodness we have tonight.
Kalum--thanks for reminding us that Tony still has those photos. The way he feels about Leo right now, I could almost bet my lunch that he'll show them to Alicia.
UrbAn--About religious versus civil ceremonies. I think the writers still think they are in a Latin American country or writing for a future Latin American audience.
In the U.S. even if you only have a religious ceremony, you still have to have a marriage license and be registered in the jurisdiction where you get married before it is recognized as official and to be recognized in other jurisdictions.
That's what faced so many same-sex couples here--they could have a religious ceremony, but if they couldn't get a marriage license, it wouldn't be recognized (for purposes of inheritance, health decisions, adoptions, divorce and the other miriad domestic relations laws).
Oh, and sorry for all the duplication earlier on Bruno. Like I said, I hadn't finished reading all the comments.

Maybe Claudia requested to be put in better clothing, or its the case that she's doing that beauty contest that univision was promoting as a commercial. But IMO her a Sabrina are still in the hospital somewhere. michele in pa

Thanks Jardinera for your great recap.
Thanks Una Norte. I've missed some of the early episodes.
Dan acted like a prisoner of war being forced to confess before the cameras that the enemy has won.
I guess the writers thought that having a civil ceremony would give them wiggle room to get Dan out of the marriage later. (Even though in this country they are equally as binding.)

Emarie--I think in TNs having a religious ceremony, then getting a divorce is just not permitted. It's beyond sacrilegious--sort of like divorcing God--or some sort of major sin.

Jardinera--Gloria's Eva 1/28 is still on the main board, but not in the recaps. Please check.

I didn't think Renata's eyebrows were so creepy when she read Don Julio's letter, just that she is wondering what is going on, and maybe getting ready to bail out.
Marcie is behaving badly, but I was suprised that Don Julio could will away her jewelry. I thought a woman's jewelry belonged to her, not her husband.

Anon 1035. Marcella was contemplating selling her jewelery because she had no money because everything was frozen but was having a hard time parting with them. If she drops the charges against Eva as the letter stated, the accounts will no longer be frozen than she won't have to sell her jewelery because she needs money.

Una Nte: I appreciate the additional comments re Bruno and Leo. I missed some of the earlier capitulos because the TN simply did not grab my interest. So, gracias!!!
Don J is the one who is really responsible for keeping my interest.
The Fran/Marisol line HAS to end. Something horrible needs to happen to Tony and the scum bucket that is Adrian's father needs to be done away with permanently. He is beyond disgusting.

Susanita--I agree that Don Julio is carrying the whole show on his shoulders. He is wonderful to watch--and so tender with Eva.
