Eva Luna #73 Wed 2/16/11 Eva sets a few people straight

We had a few scenes from yesterday, Adrian in the corner being punished by Thomas the tormenter; and at the same time we see Justa and Ricardo at the police station filing a complaint against Thomas.

We also have the rehash of Leo telling Eva her son needs a father and he needs her. Vicky is hidden in the corner intently listening in. We also rehash Eva spilling the beans that Daniel is Pablito’s father. Vicky looks on horrified.

Leo doesn’t seemed surprised by this. He asks her what she plans on doing. She tells him nothing but pleads with him not to tell anyone. Leo assures her that her secret is safe with him. She tells him that’s why she told him the truth, because she could always confide in him. Leo gives her a snaky smile assuring her she can trust him as Vicky takes off.

Victoria has made it back to Daniel’s house and is having a serious conversation with herself “That’s all I need. If Daniel finds out Eva’s child is his, he is capable of returning to her. I can’t permit Eva to have this weapon (arma) against me. I have to give Daniel a child.” She calls Leo and tells him she needs to talk with him urgently.

Renata is in the dining room setting the table. Eva approaches her and kindly asks for a glass of water. Renata not looking up tells her she is busy and to get it herself. Wrong answer!!!! Eva takes the plate out of her hand and spear chucks it across the room. Well that got her attention as she looks up in fright.


We have a stare down with Renata’s jaw dropped to the floor in disbelieve as Eva takes another plate and chucks that one across the room. Renata is shouting that they are expensive and struggling to take them away from Eva. Eva continues throwing them and tells Renata she will take it out of her wages if she doesn’t start respecting her. And if she has to she will break the entire set and charge Renata for it

Renata looks up and asks her if she is enjoying all this. Eva looks back at her and says “No not really. I am not accustomed to other people’s miserable behavior. Like how you treated me the first day I came to this house to work. You humiliated me and devalued me Renata.” Renata shocked at first tells Eva angrily that Leo should have never brought her to this house. Eva continues to tell Renata “from the first day I knew you were a biter resentful women. And now you are getting what you gave. One reaps what they sow (Uno cosecha lo que siembra). Only God knows what you have done and only he can collect.” This sends Renata hightailing to the hills but Eva is not done and calls her back angrily shouting “don’t you ever disrespect me again and don’t ‘tutear’ me. (Use the more familiar form of speaking reserved for close friends and family.) Now go get something to clean this up” as she points to the broken dishes.

Renata leaves and Eva hangs on to the chair for dear life and breathing deeply as she says a silent prayer “forgive me I never imagined I could do something like that but if I want to gain her respect for the position I hold in this house I can’t act weak in front of her.”



Dan and Fran are bonding over a few drinks.


Victoria enters the house and chews him out for getting drunk with the chauffer. Fran tells Dan it is probably best if he leaves. Vick with arms crossed asks Dan if he isn’t embarrassed. Dan setting his drink down, tells her if she is going to cause a scandal, he wants to act dignified while she chews him out. Victoria has now turned her “sweet button” on as she calls him over and says “I am not going to chew you out. Quite the opposite.” She now has gotten very close and is hugging him telling him she wants to stop all the fighting. Dan is actually buying this as he smiles. She sweetly tells him she has to leave now as she has an appointment.

Eva, with Pablito on her lap, is telling Tia Matilda how bad she felt treating Renata the way she did. Renata just doesn’t get that things have changed. Tia warns her not to become as mean as the people who treated her so badly. Eva tells her she knows but just wants them to obey her. Tia warns her to not loose who she really is with all this vengeance. She tells her not to permit her heart to harden but to continue to go forward. She tells her to try and get some rest after such a tough day. Eva tells her she can’t imagine the tough day she had. She had to confront many people who were just waiting for her to fail. Now the worse is yet to come as she has to face the clients. Tia encourages her and tells her everything will be fine.

Eva then tells Tia she met one of the clients who turns out to be an intimate friend of Marcella’s. She says the name Deborah and Ta is left with a shocked look on her face. She stands up and innocently asks what she said. Eva tells her she just came to see Marcella. She also tells Tia she felt strangely resentful when she saw Deb because it made her think about her mother. Tia walks back towards Eva and tells her she has something to tell her about this woman. Eva asks her if she knows Deb. Tia tells her yes. Eva wants to know if it has to do with Marcella. Tia says no and just as she is about to spill the beans about Deb, in pops Alicia all bubbly and so proud of her big sister.

She tells Eva she crushed every one and was a huge success. She tells her everyone is talking about it and she is so proud of her. Tia then takes Pablito away and Eva and Alicia are left alone sitting on Don Julio’s leather couch. Alicia wisely notes that even with all this wealth Eva seems sad. Eva sadly agrees and tells her she will be sad always.

Victoria has met up with Leo. She tells him she knows Eva’s child is Daniel’s. He asks her how she knows. She tells him she was listening in.

Fran is sitting at the kitchen table. Jacky stirring a pot on the stove asks him if he is still mad at her because of the flowers. He continues eating and ignores her. Jacky walks over to him and asks him to forgive her. She walks away telling him if he had let her know he was hungry she could have made something more to his liking. He says “ Why? so you could later hit me over the head with the plate?” Jacky tells him to stop being mad. He tells her he isn’t mad he is hurt. Jacky tells him she knows she acted badly, and goes to retrieve a pastry, even doing a cute little backwards walk as she brings it over to the counter. She places it in front of him saying “Look what I made. Your favorite desert.” Fran dabs his finger to the frosting and I think he is weakening.


Victoria is bad mouthing Eva and can’t believe Eva would say Daniel was her child’s father. (I think that’s what she said.) Leo tells her he hates to rain on her parade but he believes the child is indeed Daniel’s. He tells her that Eva would have no reason to lie to him about this. Victoria says well than they are both a couple of jerks. Then she tells him he has to help her so that Daniel doesn’t find out about this. She tells him she has decided to get pregnant by Daniel. Leo tells her good and the faster she gets pregnant the better.

Fran is now enjoying the desert, as he takes a bite and tells Jacky it is really good. She says than you forgive me? Fran tells her of course he forgives her. “How can I be mad at you when you make such a marvelous thing.” as he smiles and continues eating. Then he slyly looks at her and asks her if she wants to go to the movies. Jacky seems surprised and replies “Me? With You?” He says sure, tomorrow. Jacky tells him she can’t tomorrow. Fran seems a bit disappointed and says well then the next day as he walks away with his desert. Jacky is elated.

Tia Matilda has now decided that it is best that she doesn’t tell Eva about Deborah. After all she isn’t going by the last name Gonzales. And in the meantime Deb won’t dare say anything to Eva. Eva and Alicia can never find out the truth. Just then Eva walks in and reminds her she was about to tell her something about Deb before Alicia walked in. Tia tells her it was nothing, but tells her she shouldn’t confide in this woman.

Daniel is sitting on his sofa thinking to himself “Eva why can’t I stop thinking about you. Why? Will I ever be able to stop loving you.”

We travel over to the “Gonzales Mansion.” Alicia is getting ready for bed and is surprised to see an eager Leo installed in her bed waiting for her. He tells her to lock the door and not to worry.

Daniel is asleep on the couch and in walks Eva. She seductively approaches him as he sits up and sees her. He walks over to her and asks her how she got in. She tells him that isn’t important. The important thing is that she is there and she knows that makes him very happy. He tells her he can’t deny that he really missed her. She tells him she missed him as well. He tells her she really hurt him when she left. She tells him that doesn’t matter now, they have to make up for lost time. They are standing very close as Eva has her hands on his chest. Daniel nervously looks towards the door and says Victoria could walk in any minute. Eva says “That doesn’t matter, she needs to know that the one you want is me.” And we get a very passionate noisy kiss.

Don’t you hate it when you are in the middle of the best dream ever and suddenly woken. Well that’s the deal here as Dan is suddenly brought out of his dream to his real life nightmare as Victoria is standing over him saying his name. He looks at her slightly dazed as she sits down and says sweetly “I’m sorry my love, I was waiting for you so we could go to bed together.” He tells her he fell asleep. Victoria says “I know and it looks like you were having a good dream.” Dan looking guilty now looks at her and asks why she would say that. She tells him it was because he was smiling and then asks him what he was dreaming about. He stands up wiping at his face and tells her he doesn’t remember. Vicky stands as well and tells him she will now be in charge of making sure he smiles again but while he is awake and leads him off to the bedroom.

Leo and Alicia are in bed now and we have to suffer through the motions. Finally it is over and Leo tells Alicia now she can stop having doubts about how he feels. His kisses and caresses have told her more than any words. He reminds her that Eva and him are nothing more than friends and work colleagues. Alicia tells him he has no idea how happy that makes her to hear that. Leo thought bubbles “I will keep you content as long as it is convenient for me.”

Cute baby scene as Pablito is cooing away in his crib.


Eva rushes about getting ready for work as she gives him a good bye kiss and leaves him to Tia‘s care.

Justa and Ricardo are at the pension all worried about Adrian. They can’t imagine where he could be. Hopefully the police will find him before his father can cause any more harm.

Marcella is sitting at the table eating as if the last year or so never happened. Eva walks in and Marcela, without looking at her tells her good morning. Eva in a lovely lavender number walks over to her and Marcella tells her she was waiting for her. Eva asks her what she wants and Marcella says to talk with her. Eva reminds Marcella that she is sitting at her place. Marcella touching the chair and then looking up at Eva tells her “This is my chair.” Eva tells her “I thought it over, don’t get up, If it is so nostalgic for you to sit in my chair stay there for today.” Renata walks around the corner with Marcella’s juice and Eva tells her she will have breakfast out. Eva starts to walk away as Marcella shouts after her “Eva I need to talk to you.” Eva replies “I don’t have time to talk to you” and leaves. Marcella literally bites her lip as Eva leaves.


Fran is sneaking around the kitchen corner with a bouquet of flowers as we see Jacky putting a salad together. He cautiously walks towards her with flowers outstretched in his hand.


Jacky tells him not to exaggerate and that she isn’t going to hit him. He smiles and walks up to her and starts flirting quite sweetly as he asks her if they are going to the movies like they planned and gives her a small peck on the cheek. Jacky smiles back and says, yes lets go.

Dan walks in and they both seem surprised as Jacky backs away trying to hide the flowers. Fran asks him how he is doing and asks after Victoria. Dan tells him she is at the gym, her real home. Jacky now hiding the flowers behind Fran asks if he wants breakfast.

Both Fran and Jacky are now nervously preparing Dan something to eat when the phone rings. Dan answers it and we see Eva in a car asking to speak with Jacky. Dan asks who is calling and Eva answers with sarcasm “You don’t recognize my voice? This is Eva.” Daniel replies “The Eva that I know is more charming and friendly.” Both Jacky and Fran are looking on quite uncomfortably. Eva adds “And very dumb.” Dan continues “ Say what you want but the Eva I was talking about is gone, the one I fell in love with.” Eva seems quite affected by this.

Renata is now bringing coffee to Marcela. She tells her she is happy to see she has left her bedroom and dressed. Marcella tells her she dressed up to go to work. Renata asks “The agency?” Marcella tells her you have to keep your enemies close at all times.

Renata tells Marcella that she is fed up with Eva. She can’t stand taking orders from her. Marcella tells her she can’t stand it neither. She shrugs her shoulder like what can we do and tells her to get her a taxi. Once Renata is gone Marcela says out loud “This Agency is mine and I won’t let anyone take it away from me.”

Eva is still on the phone and curtly says to Dan “Is Jacky there or not. I can talk to you at the office.” We see a resigned Dan looking at Jacky telling her it is for her. Jacky enthusiastically takes the phone and says a cheerful “HI there amiga” Fran makes small talk with Dan. Jacky turns to Dan with the phone behind her back and asks if he would be so kind to give her the night off so she can go see her friend, Eva.

Daniel looking quite frustrated says “Of course.” and walks away like a seven year old that has been betrayed. Jacky then excitedly tells Eva that she can make it and will se her tonight. Fran is behind her futzing with the flowers and when she turns around he is standing right next to her, both smiling at each other.


Vicky is at the fertility clinic. She thought bubbles “This maternity stuff makes me sick. What a bother it is to have kids. Look at that gut (barriga/gut or large belly) that women has ” as she sees a pregnant women walking about. She looks up at her and smiles telling her she looks very happy. The women walks over to her and starts talking to her. Victoria asks her how the pregnancy is going along. She tells her it is fine now but in the beginning she was nauseous and dizzy. I think she also told her she has stretch marks on her bust and her stomach. Vicky tries to hide her disgust as the women continues that she only has one varicose vein, but everything else has been perfect.

The women tells Vicky that at least she has a beautiful big belly. Vicky smiles in agreement, but when the woman walks away she says to her self “How horrible, oh well if that happens to me I will figure out how to fix it. Now it is urgent that I get pregnant by Daniel.”

Eva is now in her new office with her staff and greets them with smiles. She tells Olga she doesn’t want any interruptions. She thanks them all for their help and tells them now she wants to know more about what they do. We see big smiles all around.

Renata is all in a snit saying she can’t stand to be in this house any more. She remembers Eve’s words from the morning. She says she can’t take the guilt anymore. Than she remembers her chat with Dr. Garcia, when he came to the house telling her Julio had seen Justa before he died. She remembers telling him that was not possible because Justa was dead and Julio knew that. She wonders what Julio could have left for Justa. “If I help her get this inheritance God has to forgive me.” She takes the phone and calls Dr. Garcia.
She tells him she needs to talk to him.

Marcella has entered the agency. The cheerful atmosphere quickly turns chilly. She snarls at the two women standing and wants to know why they are staring at her and to get to work. She tells them to find Bruno and Giorgio and to have them meet her in her office. Olga stops her and tells her she best not enter the office. Marcella looks stunned and snarls “What?!! What are you saying girl. Of course I am going to the office, because it is my office.”

Eva is in the middle of her meeting when Marcella barges in. She stops and stares at Marcella defiantly.


Marcella still in snarling mode looks around and asks what everyone is doing in her office. Then she snipes at Eva and asks her what she is doing there. Everyone gets up to leave and Eva quickly points at them and orders them to all sit back down. She Looks straight on at Marcella and says “This is the president’s office of the Arismendi Agency and for the time being I occupy it.” We have dramatic music and a death stare down.

Marcella is asking Eva how she would dare take over her office. Eva reminds her that the office belongs to the company. She is now smiling with a bit of spunk as she tells Marcella not to worry she has asked for another office for her on the floor below with the modeling agency.

Renata is with the good Dr. Garcia. He wants to know what brings her there. She tells him she will get to the point (quiero ir al grano.) He asks if she is ill. She tells him no, she is there about the document that Julio left for her sister. He tells her that was a long time ago and she told him that Justa was dead. Renata hems and ahs and finally tells him that she lied. Justa is alive. Dr. Garcia looks surprised.

Marcella is telling Eva that she will be sorry for this. Eva still smiling tells her “Perfect but in the meantime” as she walks over to the intercom and says “Olga please come and show Marcella to her office.” She looks at Marcella and addresses her as usted “When you want to talk to me about work, please make an appointment. Have a good day Señora.” She has sufficiently dismissed her and returns to the table of workers. Marcella is left speechless.

Dr. Garcia is ticked and wants to know why Renata lied to him. Renata lies and says Justa asked her to tell everyone that she was dead. She now stands up and asks him to give her the papers that Julio left for Justa. She tells him she will be sure that Justa gets them. Dr. Garcia tells her he is sorry, but he destroyed the envelope when she told him Justa was dead and the subject was closed. He tells her thank you for at least coming to him and telling him the truth.

Olga has brought Marcella to her new office. Marcella is not happy with her new digs. Olga apologizes and tells her it is the office that the Señora Eva has assigned for her. Marcella snaps back “The Señora Eva. How quickly she has changed bands.”

Eva is in her office talking on the phone to Tia Matilda and putting all of Marcella’s photos face down on the table top. Olga knocks and enters telling Eva Bruno is there and Giorgio is on his way. Bruno enters and Eva greets him. He tells her his modeling agency is associated with the Arismendi Agency. She tells him she is eager to learn more about this business.

Victoria is talking with the Dr. She tell her she wants to get pregnant as soon as possible. Can she get started with the hormone injections. The Dr. tells her not to be in such a hurry. They have to do some tests first. It is too early to make any decisions.

Giorgio shows up and enters without knocking. He greets Eva and she chews him out for being late. She tells him she doesn’t like people that are not punctual. He apologizes and tells her he was resolving certain problems. Eva tells him the next time she calls for him to come to a meeting he should stop what he is doing and show up. Giorgio starts up with attitude and tells her that he works for Marcella and is loyal to her and will only follow her orders. “Is that clear Eva?” Eva thanks him for his honesty but she won’t work with anyone that she can’t trust. She calls for Olga and tells her to call human resources so they can get his walking papers ready. She tells him “No one works here that isn’t willing to work as a team player. Is that clear?” We get yet another great stare down from a disgruntled employee.


After he leaves, Eva apologizes to Bruno telling him she knows he works for his agency at well. Old butt kisser Bruno tells her not to worry, he never did like him much. He tells her he will look for a replacement right away.

Giorgio has managed to find Marcella in her new water closet. He starts ranting on. He tells her she has to do something to get rid of that shrew (arpia.) Marcella tells him she is working on it but it is going to take time and work. He tells her he doesn’t have much time. That stupid Eva just fired him. Marcella is shocked. Marcella says now it is my turn to hit back as she pounds the table.

Eva is now taking a much needed sanity break with Don Julio and Pablito. He works really hard but finally gets the little tyke to smile.


Eva sits down and asks him if there is any other way to look glamorous and professional and present the image of a millionaire with out the torture of wearing those high heeled boots, as she pulls one off her foot. “Look how tall they make me.” He laughs with her and tells her that her sense of humor is one of her many fine qualities. She tells him lately though she can’t use it much. She has to be serious and hard. She confesses to him it is hard to be that way. She says on the outside she might look the part but on the inside she is trembling. He tells her that he hopes nobody notices and looks at it as a weakness. They will tear her to pieces.

Daniel is looking for Eva in her office. He has a balance sheet or something he has to go over with her. Olga tells him she is out but she will be happy to give them to her. He tells Olga he will return later and give them to her himself.

Eva assures Julio he won’t have to worry about her. He will be very proud of her. They continue to chat as she tells him about her little spat with Marcella. She tells him she did every thing with style. Never loosing her cool and always with a hint of disdain. He laughs and tells her he would have loved to see the face of that snake. She tells him he didn’t miss anything pretty. The shrew was about to explode at any moment.

She tells him she doesn’t know what to do to free herself from her. (I think that is what she said) She knows Marcella hates her. Julio says that is perfect as he laughs and asks for more details. She tells him about Victoria as well. She says the sun wouldn’t even warm her up. She is so afraid Eva has returned to steal her husband. Eva says “If she only knew how much I hate him.”

Deb is in Marcella’s office. Marcella starts moaning about her unfortunate set of circumstances. She says “and look at this cubby hole of an office.” She tells Deb that Eva fired Giorgio. Deb tells her she ran into him and he told her he quit out of loyalty to Marcella. Marcella accuses her of defending Eva. Deb looks hurt and asks her how she could think that. She tells Deb that Eva is signing her own death sentence. Deb looks very sad to hear all this.

Marcella is going on saying it is now her turn to fight back. This isn’t over. Deb seems concerned and asks her what she is up to. We hear a knock on the door and Alicia enters. Deb is pleasantly surprised to see her and kindly asks her how she is.

We flip back to Julio and Eva. He wants to know how things are with Leo. She tells him he has been very nice to her. Julio warns her to be careful with her dealings with him. He tells her it may sound awful coming from him because Leo is his son but she shouldn’t trust him. She tells Julio she is being careful but he is very insistent. Julio asks how things with the agency are going. She tells him things are going splendidly just like they planned. She tells him she was scared at first but after she was done everyone was really impressed. Julio smiles and tells her he knew it. She tells him she feels she is finally doing what he asked her to.

Marcella rags on Alicia for not addressing her as Doña and gives her a piece of paper. Alicia asks what it is and Marcella tells her it is her walking papers. Alicia is quite confused and says why. Marcella snips back and says because I felt like it. Deb is looking on with even more concern as Marcella tells Alicia to gather her things and get out. Alicia starts yelling back and tells her “You can’t fire me just because she feel like it. I am doing my job.” Marcella tells her “It is simple. I don’t want the sister of that woman working in my agency!!” Deb asks Marcella who she is talking about. Marcella tells her she is talking about Eva the thief. Alicia is protesting telling Marcella that her sister isn’t a thief and as much as this hurts Marcella to the soul all of this is no longer hers. (I think) She rips the papers stomps off and tells her she is going to go talk to Eva. Deb is left alone with her thoughts as she says “Oh my God. This is my daughter Alicia.”



Eva returns to her office and finds a rose on the table and Leo approaching her.

(Take a look at the out fit this creep is wearing.)
He is feeding her some line. He tells her he is in the world to fulfill her wishes. Eva looks sad and Leo tells her she looks tired. She tells him she is. She tells him she had to confront his mother, Victoria and Daniel. She tells him it is a really difficult task (tarea.) Leo tells her he understands. She tells him something else how she is capable of doing this job, or something like that.

Leo warns her that things could get dangerous with his mother. He tells her it is hard for him to, because she is his mother and it is hard to see her go through all this. He tells her she can count on him for his help. He knows she is a great person and fair and won’t harm anyone. She says something about Marcella wanting to do nothing but harm to her.

Dr. Garcia is telling Julio he is doing great. Like a bull after the run. Julio laughs but Dr. Garcia warns him that he has to continue with his treatments. His heart has to beat for a long time.

Leo is making more moves on Eva. He tells her he could spend the rest of his life with her. Eva wisely gets up and walks away from him. She tells him he is acting suspicious saying all those things. He walks after her and says “ No I am completely in love with you.” Oh thank goodness, Daniel finally walks in. Leo gives him the fish eye as Eva says “Your interrupting once again. But come on in, don’t worry.” She thanks Leo for the flower. He kisses her hand and says it was nothing he will see her at the house. He nudges Daniel on his way out as he says “See ya bro.”

Eva is standing there smiling, smelling the rose as Daniel glares at her.


Don Julio is asking Dr. Garcia what he is keeping from him. He tells Julio he has great news. Julio is like a child saying tell me tell me. Dr. Garcia says “You were right Julio, Justa is a live.” This brings Julio to his feet quickly and is left speechless.

Daniel tells Eva he has the balance sheets she asked for. Eva is still fiddling with the rose as she tells Daniel the next time he enters her office to knock first or be announced. Daniel is ticked and tells her they are at a work place. She should lock her door if she is having an intimate moment. She snaps back “This is my office and I will do what I want.” He reminds her he is her associate and it isn’t right if someone should walk in on a compromising situation. Eva now with a huge grin on her face says “Calm down Daniel. You are really upset. I was just talking with Leo. What’s wrong? Are you jealous?”

Daniel quickly grabs her and spins her around and they are literally touching noses as he asks,


“ What are you doing? Do you want me to kiss you? Is that what you want?” And we end with longing looks,

I added some pictures from last nights award show. Hope you enjoy them.

Comments:
It was so wonderful to read your recap with my café this morning, Pata. Thank you for the "Uno cosecha lo que siembra" phrase which is certainly going to be the theme here.
Was anyone else surprised that Leo is Don J's stepson, "hijastro"?. So, Don J. thinks Icky is his adopted daughter, but she is his real daughter, and Leo was already Marcella's son before they married, am I getting it right? I wonder how that will factor into all of this.
Pablito is so cute, it must be my imagination, but he actually looks like Guy, they did a good casting job.
 

Good work on this (although I thought that Dr Garcia said "a bull before the fight."). I did miss a few other things and I really appreciate these recaps.

The incident with the china was childish. Eva should have threatened Renata with dismissal and no references.

I am wondering whether it would be more humiliating for Murderous Marcie to have to live in a studio apartment rather than in the mansion. Of course this gives Eva fewer chances to humiliate her.

It shouldn't be too long before Eva discovers Bruno's embezzlement, which will be a further humiliation for Marcie.

Icky is running true to form. She is cringing at the thought of pregnancy, so if she succeeds in getting pregnant she will be bitchier than ever. This also begs the question about her faking a pregnancy and procuring a baby from somewhere else.
 

Thanks for the recap Pata!! I'm thinking Eva is going to catch Leo slithering out of Alicia's room one morning. Wonder if Eva invited Jackie over for a girl's night?

Glad to see that Deborah finally knows about Alicia.

In the avances it looks like Renata sees Don Julio. So, I wonder if he's going to tell her that Marci tried to kill him and if that will make Renata switch sides. I think she will help Eva if Don Julio asks her to.
 

Urban: Yep, that's what I think will happen, that Icky will pretend to be pregnant. And then will have to get a baby somewhere. They have plenty of time for this to happen. She's never going to allow stretch marks to appear on that body.
I noticed the pregnant girl talking to Icky mentioned "mareo" or "mareado" (I'm not sure which) or dizziness as a pregnancy symptom, the favorite symptom of TN characters.
 

Pata: Thank you so much for every little detail! Absolutely super!

I've missed 2 nights worth of this TN. It seems like so much is happening!

I'd like to hear others thoughts wrt why Eva would bother to keep Renata there and why she feels compelled to trust Leo.

She seems to be totally ignoring Don Js advice re Leo. I think Don J is going to be terribly disappointed when he finds out she stupidly told Leo the truth about Pablito.

Does Eva not realise that she is a marked woman?! Look at how many are truly wanting to harm her: Tony, BimButt, Renata, Cruella. Have I missed any?

The weakest link, Alicia, is also going to be a source of indirect harm.

I hope they get the Adrian/Tomas issue quickly resolved. This is upsetting. Frankly, I don't see what this adds to this story. Perhaps, we will find out.

I can't believe Tomas is Adrian's real father. Who is Adrian's mother and who could possibly be his real father?

Thank you so much, Pata for a super recap!!

Pata: Thanks mucho for a great read! You caught a number of things I must have zoned out during and I appreciate you filling in those gaps! I definitely loved the dream scene and all the real life confrontations between Ren and Eva/ Eva and Marci/ Alicia and Marci/ Giorgio and Eva. Wow! Action packed episodio, wasn't it?
=========
Good suggestion about the fake pregnancy and stealing a baby, but there's no little one to steal--yet. Maybe we'll get a kidnapping of Pablito while they're at it with this counter-venganza stuff.

I especially look forward to Eva's possibly catching Ali and Leo together after he's proposed marriage to Eva and "confessed" his great love to both sisters.

Perhaps Jackie will catch Eva up on all the juicy fights and revealing conversations she overheard regarding the complaint and how Marci "added" Daniel's name to it. That might start her thinking Leo's been less than honest about things with her all this time. --Having him as her "confident" will obviously keep Icky and Mama in the know about Eva. She needs another Max and a couple of body guards to keep Icky from eavesdropping all the time.....
 

Could be Adrian was either kidnapped or abandoned and that's how Tomas got hold of him. Tomas's abuse is driving me crazy!
 

Jar: Good thought on Adrian. So, this issue regarding Adrian's real parents has never been addressed? That story line has been very confusing to me.

Susanita
 

Pata- Wonderful recap as always. I loved the pics you captured of Pablito. You can tell the Don Julio actor has lots of experience with kids/grandkids. He could bring out a smile in the little tike and always had one eye on him while keeping the scene/acting going. Loved how Pablito zeroed in on "mommy's" phone and purse to play with. :)

Emarie- Marcela came into the marriage to Julio when Leo was a little boy. Julio adopted Leo, and that's no secret to any of them. The only secret is that Vicky is indeed Julio's child with Justa. He thinks she is a random adoption. He doesn't know he has any blood children. I don't think this will change his feelings about Vicky once this is revealed. It will change how he feels about Renata and will deepen his hate for Marci. Now that Justa is married, I'm not sure what will happen with those two when they discover each other alive, AND that they have a child in common who is alive, and evil.

I'm going to stop asking why Eva is letting Renata and Marci live in the house. Obviously the writers want the drama, and Don Julio also seems to have some plan.

I want Jojo to stop acting like a jerk to Eva. I'm fine if he wants to keep kissing Marci's butt, but he also needs to start being fair to Eva. I am not cool with Tia telling Eva to not trust Deb, since she knows Ded is telling the truth about the girls being stolen from her. Deb can prove to be a great ally since Marci trusts her, and Deb is obviously NOT going to do anything to hurt her girls. She'll be a great double agent and Eva should trust her. It's that darn Leo she needs to start clamming up around.
 

Great recap, Pata. ITA on all the snark comments.
Emarie, yes you have your facts right. Leo is the step son of Julio and Icky is his natural child with Justa.
I loved the ending and the previews for friday, not only the ghost of Julio shows himself to Renata, but Icky is told by the doctor she is sterile?(did I hear that correctly?)
 

Don Julio also seems to have some plan.
hmmm... could he be planning on making his appearances to Marce at night as 'the ghost of your conscience'?
I agree that Deb might turn out a great ally for Eva, and that Icky will end up finding a baby to pass as her own with Dano.
Also agree that Adrian might not be Tomas' blood child, possibly a kidnapping victim or a stray kid Tomas just picked up to do the 'street beg/sell work' for him.
 

Pata--Will read your recap as soon as I get this off my chest!!

We was ROBBED--No kiss. And the avances make it look like it's Dano who hesitates.

And speaking of avances--Two bombs dropped right in the middle of this melee: Vicky is barren (couldn't happen to a nicer gal) and Renata sees Julio (boy is that dangerous--but Julio, remember, told her she was the only one in the household he could trust)

Pablito stole the show last night. He certainly kept Julio busy on the set--he was getting into everything. They must have picked a small baby to look younger, but he's walking like an 9 or 10 month old.

But who leaves a dynamo like that, even if he's supposed to be 7 mo old, in a bassinette. I thought that's why they got the crib.

More later, maybe
Una Nte
 

I wonder if Victoria will find out she can't get preggo by the OB she is seeing. If that's the case she will fake a pregnancy then steal a baby (maybe she'll take Alicia's baby, lol)
But, seriously, I can't wait for Jacky to meet with Eva, I hope after that meeting a lot of things become more clear for Eva.
I also wonder if Claudia will show up soon that way she can reveal to Eva all the tricks Victoria was up to when they used to be friends.
Emarie, Pablito, does resemble his daddy, such a cute little guy, lol
Francisco and Jacky...hmmmm, not buying it yet, for some reason I can't see them as a couple, maybe time will change my opinion.
Did anyone knowest that Julio did not have a heart attack after he found out that Justa is alive? I'm starting to wonder if he will stick around till the end, I guess we'll have to keep watching.
About my love/hate relationship with JoJo.. well, it's more hate now, I love it how he went crying like a baby to Marcela after he got fired!! Eva if you were able to fire JoJo on the spot, why didn't you fired Renata? I think the scene where you were throwing and breaking plates got to you Eva, I could hear it in your shaky, trembling voice, good acting Eva.
 

and ITA, good casting on pablito although he looks huge for a few months age. he does look a lot like Guy.
 

i can see it already... between jackie and Laurita, some things about Dano are cleared with Eva... doubt the runover incident will get cleared up unless Claw intervenes. But at least the 'stealing' story is getting blurred in Dano's mind and will in Eva's mind about Dano's participation or lack thereof... but Dano will still blame Eva for the pictures with Leo and Eva will blame him for her dad's death for a good many eps to come, i am afraid.
 

Ok, Pata, cracker-jack recap. Gracias.

I meant no kiss in the purple shirt. The dream kiss doesn't count.

What will Vicky do. She's not going to give up without a fight. She's liable to get mamma and Leo to help her with the fake pregnancy and theft of a baby--after all Marcela has had practice at that.

Vick needs to hurry it up, the novela isn't going to last another 9 months in TN time, I don't think. The director would have to switch babies and Laurita and Adrian would have to become teenagers!!

Marcie and Renata are staying in the house for a reason. We love to speculate, though. It surely has something to do with keeping up the tension in the household and their eventual fall/rehabilitation.

Yep, I agree that Alicia is the weak link. Oh, for either Eva or Tia (or even Marcela or Renata) to see Leo coming out of her bedroom some night or morning. Actually, he could explain that away more easily than if Alicia were to come out of his bedroom.

Who thinks Alicia will take her walking papers and start working for Deb. Deb would love an opportunity to get to know her daughter better, even if it's incognito.

Loved the scene in the kitchen when Eva calls Dano and wants to talk to Jacky. At least Dan and Eva had a semi-intimate conversation and he, once again, tells her, in an off-handed way, that he's been in love with her.
Una Nte
 

But if Icky got pregnant and then died in childbirth, Justa could have a good grandchild and everyone would be rid of Icky.
 

Martaivett: Does Claw know about the run over incident? I don't expect that huge lie about Dan to be cleared up until the end of the TN, it is key to everything that led to the separation of Eva from Dan. And in TN world, the end is always the uniting of the protagonists, right?
Rossana: ITA why didn't she fire Renata.
I don't get the same previews y'all talk about on my cable station. Are you getting them from the Univision web site? My previews are not really previews at all, they are just scenes from the program already seen with comments.
UnaNorte: ITA the scene with Dan speaking to Eva briefly on the phone.
 

Claw doesn't know about the run over of Eva's dad, but she does know that Leo was the one driving Dan's car that day and that he had some kind of accident in the car. The only other people who know that are Leo (not going to tell the truth), Vicky (would not tell the truth once she knows how that lie has been used), and Dan (Eva would not believe him). So, Claw is really the only hope that this will get cleared up. Unless Eva decides to come to her senses and just believe Dan once she finally confronts him about it. That would be great, wouldn't it?! I hope they don't drag out this particular misunderstanding because there are plenty of other truths to uncover that they can save for the big dramatic last few weeks- Marci's past and the fact that she has killed Dan's entire family!
 

Back in first week, Claw, Vicky and Dano were in boat/yatch when Leo arrived shaken up appologizing to Dano saying he got distracted and had an incident with some bushes (while driving Dano's red ferrari which he had borrowed). Claw was there but not sure she would say something against Leo... not sure she knows he was involved/aware of what Marce did to her and her baby.
 

Pata,

What a great recap you gave us to go over since we wont have one for tonite.
Susanita it was always Eva who wanted to keep Pablito away from Daniel.
Martaviett I to wasn't sure I heard the doctor right when she told Icky that she's Baren, Hum that posses a major problem as too how to get another baby. I think that what game Eva is playing with Leo she had better stop, b/c she's going to be the one to get burned not him. I loved the scene when Eva is telling DJ that the shoes hurt her feet, and it was nice to see her interacting with the baby, like a real mom. Yes Eva is making a lot of enemies and she needs to really watch her back. I think Tia is going to have to ask Debra for help. Now who lied JoJo or Debra as to why he was leaving. He told Marcie Eva fired him. but Debra said that JoJo told her he left the company out of loyalty to Marcie. Hum?
Nice scene with Dano on the phone with Eva, and his dream kiss.
 

Maybe Don Julio asked Eva to allow Renata to stay, since she was loyal to him? I don't think he was aware of Renata's nastiness to Eva?

I wasn't sure what the doctor was telling Victoria in the previews. I could dance a jig if she's barren. She should not be procreating at all.

When Alicia stormed out of Marci's office after getting her walking papers? Did she say she (Alicia) was going to talk to her sister? I thought she said "if you wanna fire me, you're (Marci) gonna have to talk to my sister"?
 

One another thing - I'm glad Eva fired JoJo. He deserved it, he was openly defiant to Eva.

Michelle - Eva fired Jojo. I think he said that to Deborah to save face.
 

Hey, maybe Alicia will get pregnant and Leo will be forced by Eva to marry her? Then Icky can do a fake pregnancy at the same time, and we'll have a repeat of the Justa situation all over again!
 

Vivi, do you remember the scene where Claw and Leo where in bed, and Leo was having a nightmare about the accident? While he was sleep talking, he disclosed some information to Claw that made her wonder. One of this days she will put it all together and if she manages to stay alive the truth shall be known.
I didn't hear the Doctor tell Vicky she was barren, unless I miss it, all I remember is Vicky asking for a fertility treatment, she wants to get pregnant ya! ahora! now! by anyone!
Michelle, I think Debra lied, lol, she is helping Eva already by making Marcella think that JoJo left the company because he is loyal to her and not merely because Eva fired him.
 

I'm so sad that there is no Eva Luna tonight. :(
 

Great recap! Very thorough and it filled in a few blanks for me. Wow, this was a plot-packed episode. Thank you again!

I rewatched my recording of the avances and I admit that my understanding of spoken Spanish is shaky, but I'm pretty sure the doctor is telling Icky that she is "incapacidad para tener hijos"? Is that right? That sounds like she can't have kids, but we are hearing a segment of the conversation so who knows what else the doctor is saying. Perhaps there's a possibility that she is infertile or something. But I think it would be a grand plot twist to have Icky barren, which would force her to do some baby stealin' of her own, which of course is a telenovela tradition.

Well, we got some noisy kissing, even if it was just a dream sequence! I agree that we see Eva's shell starting to crack a little in the scene where Danny says in a roundabout way that she's not the same woman that he loved (which of course is telling her that he still loves her). This show is getting interesting! And I certainly didn't expect Don Julio to reveal himself to Renata! Wow, I wonder how that is going to develop.

Well, we have to wait until Friday to learn more, which will be TORTURE!
 

Spanish is my first language, I'll go watch and I will report back.. I have to see what I missed.. this is getting so good!!
 

The previews to Friday's episode showed Vicky speaking to the Doctor in which she learns she can't have kids.. wow! (Esta incapasitada para tener blah, blah, couldn't hear the last word the doc mumbled) I bet some of us missed it because it went so fast.. you are right Elvira!!
I get to many interruptions while I watch Eva Luna.. I'll be making some dissapearing acts and hide in my closet with my tv so no one will disturb me. Thanks ladies!
 

Rossana- Oh yes. I do remember how suspicious Claw was of Leo after his nightmare. In fact, she mentioned to Vicky that she thought he had hit someone and Vicky blew it off. She has plenty of reason to hate Leo since he rejected her when she was pregnant, even if she doesn't think he was in on the plan to poison her.
 

I am glad they are showing us how hard it is for Eva to keep up this ice queen persona. It is her polar opposite. Of course it would be hard. And here she is having to not only act the ice queen, but confront people left and right. It would be mentally exhausting for anyone. In other novelas when the nice girl comes back for revenge and acts like a b!tch, it's always too easy for them to do it. How can the most sweet tempered person in the world (as our heroines usually are) suddenly become uber nasty without some effort? It always makes you wonder if she was really such a nice person to begin with. I love Llena de Amor, but right now our heroine is insufferable in her constant vengence mode with no signs of the sweet person she used to be. I also like that they show her having trouble adjusting to high heels, after wearing flats every day of her life till now. Love that they threw in that little joke about how tall the heels make her-- saying out loud what everyone in the audience has been thinking the last few days. :)
 

Wow wow wow. Another humdinger Pata. And I loved the screen shots.. Especially the one of d'you want me to kiss you...do you? Whew...sure do! Thanks.
 

I'll bet Dano would love to be a fly on the wall when Jacky and Eva get together for their gal-talk.
Una Nte
 

Rossana--I apologize for giving away information in the avances if you aren't getting the same ones we did. I won't get ahead of myself again.
Una Nte
 

I meant emarie--about the previews.
Una Nte
 

I'm with Vivi: Eva being shown, at least half the time, as a reluctant vengeful-monarch-of-sorts is a pleasant twist on the usual cliche. (See also Deborah not being the usual long-lost mother who walked out on her family, though in her case she's now the fallback lost-her-entire-family cliche.) That said, the plate scene was a bit...much.

As for the avances: Don Julio's continued existence has/had to get out somehow, so Renata's as good a choice as any to get it out there. She sees him, runs to Queen Snooki after she recovers from passing out, the will gets negated, and off we go to a more balanced Eva vs. Queen Snooki fight over AA.
 

Vivi,
I do remember how suspicious Claw was of Leo after his nightmare. In fact, she mentioned to Vicky that she thought he had hit someone and Vicky blew it off.
me too! I remember that way back.
 

Great comments today. Last nights episode was really good.

I loved Eva's plate throwing tantrum with Renata. It may have been childish, but i was remebering from one of the first episodes where Renata let the dog loose on Eva knowing how frightened she was and she was standing back thourouly enjoying it.

I also enjoyed her little reap what you sow speech. If nothing else that whole scene got Renata thinking and prompted her to come clean with dr. Garcia. Well almost clean.

Thanks for the bull fight correction Urban. I know he said corrida and toro and I just put them together as bull run, which could be translated as bullfight.
Towards the end of the episode I always get a bit punchy and not only forget what little Spanish I know, but my English as well.

Lots of great speculation about Vicky and baby senarios. I liked the "steal Alicia's baby" theory.

Loved Dan's dream. He always has the best fantasies.

I may be in the minority here but I am enjoying the Fran/Jacky scenes. They are so cute together. Much better than Marisol and Fran.

Vivi, I also got a kick out of the shoe humor. I missed it the first time I watched but when I watched again for pictures I caught it.

Can't wait till Friday.
 

Who the Heck dressed Leo with the Black and White flower shirt, white jacket????????LOL he looked stupid
 

Hi Michael, I am glad you thought that about Leo's clothes. I thought the very same thing. I had a bigger picture ready to post but messed up and the small one showed up. It was just riduloous!!
He looked like a clown.
 

Sorry,I spelled your name wrong Michele.

I also spelled ridiculous wrong as well. Can't live with out spell check.
 

That's ok Pata, if you look back at my other post you'll see my spelling not that good either. I'm using this to practice my writing skills and proof reading.

Did you also notice that when Francicso and Jacky where in the kitchen (flowers) and Dan was walking in, he had a little smirk on his face as to say to them caught you!!!

Does anyone know if we will get another two hour special of Eva? since the last time Univision didn't have a Eva chapter they made it up by giving us two too hour episodes.
 

Pata thanks for the great recap, pics and vocab. Can't read the comments yet but will do so later tonight.
 

Anyone know who actually owns the modeling agency. From Eva and Bruno's chat it sounded like he did but why would he need to steal from Marcela if that was the case and Marcela said it was her company when she tried to fire ALicia. Im so confused.

Loved the recap
Loved the dish tantrum
Loved Pablo and Julio together
Loved Eva flirting with Dan (you just know she didnt want the flower until Dan showed up)
 

Julio said no to Marcela when she asked him for funds for the modeling agency, so my theory is the agency is mostly Marcela's with Bruno as the associate (doubt Bruno put any money or his own in it, he just manages it for Marce). So it is Marcela's and thus she could fire Alicia if she wanted to.
 

A big THANK YOU to the writers and directors, for spearing us the love scenes between Dano and Icky.

It was bad enough too watch the Leo Alicia scenes. I think these two characters lack chemistry
 

Una Norte: Don't worry, I am always glad to hear about the advances. I'd watch the next episode now if there was a way.
I love everybody's psychic opinions on what will happen. Or rather your learned opinions from the extensive prior knowledge of the ways of the TN writers.
I'll add one of my own: Renata will be the first redemption.
 

Rossana: I always love to know when we have Spanish bi-lingual bloggers read our stuff. Keeps me on my toes. Sometimes the informal sayings can get tricky!
 

jjablan--yesterday you vented your frustration by how unintelligent the writers are making Eva right now. This was the last comment on Tuesday night's episode.

Here's my answer to you, Jj. Notez Bien:

We feel your frustration. We in viewerville have something we call a "beanie" hat, which we wear when things aren't logical or the obvious is overlooked.

When it's really unbelievable, we have to "tighten our beanies." If it's too bizarre, then we have to reach for our "lead-lined beanies" or at least ones with a "stupidity-repellant covering."

You will have to learn to do the same thing and go with the flow!!

Welcome to the forum, jj.

It's not fair! Here I am at home and not in some hotel lobby hoping that I can gain control of the telly...and there are NO TNs on tonight!

I am literally going crackers!

Just had to get that off my chest. :))

Susanita
 

Thanks Una Norteamericana.
I'm visiting this site for long time. My first novela was Destilando Amor. I didn't understand Spanish at that time. I found this site and I was very happy to read all recaps in English - my third language. Now I can understand Spanish but I can't speak. After DA I was watching Pura Sangre and here wasn't any recap about it. I asked here if they know where I can find the recaps in English.I think Jardinera654 told me about Telenovela World to see if they have it. I watched Pasion and Las Tontas no van al Cielo but after that I didn't watch any novela on Univision. I was watching Telemundo because CC3 caption. That was better way to learn Spanish. I decided to watch Eva Luna because I didn't like Aurora on Telemundo and Eva Luna has CC3 caption. I'm reading Eva Luna's recaps to find all those small details I didn't understand. I'm watching three novelas and I don't have much time for posting. I'm glad I decided to watch this novela. After long time I found one good novela that I really like. Thanks to all of you who are keeping this site alive. jjablan.

p.s.
Yes I'm very mad on this writer. Eva shouldn't be so stupid to allow Marcela to live there. She shouldn't bring her son in that house. But now when we know they are living together I ask myself which mom will to do it? My answer is only stupid mom will do it.
 

jjablan: Welcome! 3 languages is very impressive! Just to be on the safe side, I would suggest that you be careful of the CC3 English because many times it isn't accurate or it completely misses the common meaning or definition/ the vernacular. We try to stick with the Spanish CC and a good dictionary. What is your first language-- your native tongue?
 

jjablan, you are not the only one. i have known many forum friends for at least 10 yrs who learned spanish watching novelas and coming here and to tw forums to get their facts cleared.
DA and PS are two good ones to begin with, DA is a remake of Cafe and PS is the (IMO better) original Manana es para siempre was a remake of.
I have transcribed cafe with english comments in the tw La mentira USA forum (see archives list) and DA follows it very closely.
I am currently translating the main scenes of Betty la Fea in the tw forum for it in case you are interested in another Gaitan novela (he wrote Cafe, the original of DA).
anyway, welcome and get confy.
 

re: last night's PLN...
Guy, please toss away that suit and tie... nuff said!
Blanca looked great as did Guy's wife Estela. Not really fond of Vanessa Villela's dress either. When they (she and Guy) presented together, I got the impression she was taking over the mike and was about to eat it!
I was impressed that Blanca knew the words to Nave del Olvido and El Triste from Jose Jose repertoire.
 

Hi, I had some free time so I added some pictures from last nights award show. The one where Eva is laughing some a cute moment. Leo was remarking how beutiful and tall she was. Also found it a very touching moment when Blanc present the singer some roses.
 

Martaivett - I watched a little of PLN too. Basically the whole Eva Luna cast was there. I saw Blanca (who looked absolutely stunning), Vanessa (didn't like her hair/makeup), Guy, Julian Gil, Harry Geithner and the little kids. Guy's striped suit was bad, as was Julian Gil's purple suit.

I caught Jenni Rivera singing the theme song and I thought it was so cute that Blanca was singing along. Her husband looked very handsome next to her, but he must've been bored out of his mind.
 

What? Was Guy's wife in this episode? Was she that pretty dark-haired associate who was at Eva's presentation?

Regarding the English CC on Eva Luna: I think it's great that they're there, but I agree with everyone who is saying to not rely on them too much. What I usually do is watch the episode with Spanish CCs first, and then sometimes re-watch with the English CCs. Sometimes the English picks up stuff I missed when watching in Spanish, but sometimes I catch an error or omission with the English CCs. Sometimes the English "translation" is hilarious, such as the classic example of "mitt off." (Link goes to my bare-bones site and is a streaming video, like what is on YouTube.) I love this example of "mitt off," it is too bizarre! LOL.

I do find the English CCs useful, though. I've got my mother hooked on Eva Luna and she can watch with English CCs. Also, sometimes it is helpful to hear in Spanish but see the English CCs.
 

Elvira, The whole cast of Eva was at the Premio Lo Nuestro 2011 show that was on last night. That's where I cut some pictures and added them at the end of the recap. I think Guy's wife was sitting with him as well as some man (husband?) with Blanca.
 

thanks for the pictures! I caught Jenni Rivera singing the theme (actually she forgot some of the words and replaced them... 'viento/aire' for example) and loved watching both Blanca and Estela (Guy's wife) singing along. Blanca was stunning, as you all said. I did not catch Julian but from the pictures, I agree that that suit also needs to go.
 

Pata,

Thank you for posting pics from last nite's awards show. Yes ITA with whom ever said Blanca looked beautiful, Julian the purple suit was better than the black and white flora outfit he had on Tuesday nite on Eva Luna. Guy ?????? who the heck dress him. Vanessa aka (Icky-Vicky) looked OK, Claudia aka(missing in action Claw) was OK also. Does anyone know if Blanca's husband speaks or understands spanish? They are a handsome pair together, on the red carpet I saw she was looking around before she notice the camera's and I think she was looking for him, b/c she said something to the person interviewing her about her husband being there with her. WOW the whole cast was there they must have had different seats b/c Blanca, Jack, Estelle, Guy, strange man, I think Julian daughter and then Julian all sat in the front row.
 

Pata!!!! How wonderful of you to post these fotos!!

Blanca looks absolutely stunning! Guy...what is up with that suit?!

Julian...looks rather mafioso in that purple, but I think I'll take it over the stripes that Guy was wearing. Oy...did his wife see that suit before they left the house?! LOL!

As for Bimbutt...well, she just looked like Bimbutt!

Gracias, Pata!!

Susanita
 

Pata: Great Premio pictures! Whoever allowed those men to wear those suits, tho', needs to have their eyes examined!
 

On the off chance I might be wrong, but maybe Guy thought he was supposed to be with Blanca last night b/c the silver in his suite would have matched Blanca's dress hence toneing the strips down a bit.

It's just a thought, there has to be a reason he dresses in that suite with such wide silver strips.????
 

I loved Guy's striped suit. I thought he looked great.
 

I'm so sorry I didn't watch any of the PLN last night. It would have been delicious just to see the folks from Eva. Thanks a million, Pata, for the stills.

Was Susana aka Marcela there?

Guy--he looks like he stepped out of some late 1960s or 1970s closet.

A little bird told me that Blanca's husband does not speak Spanish, or at least didn't when they got married (don't know about now) AND that they and the Eckers are good friends.
Una Nte
 

Una Nte,

Thank you for the information on Blanca's husband speaking spanish.

I thought I had heard that both Blanca and her husband, Guy and his wife would have dinners together sometimes.

Oh I can't wait until tonight!!!!!!
More cleaning house for Eva, and Reneata gets a "What for" from DJ
 

Thank you for posting the pictures from last night's ceremony.
Those have to be some of the most desperately uncomfortable-looking suits I have ever seen. Are these some new styles we have to look forward to?
 

Re suits. CMON! Its South Beach and MIAMI and all that.

Loved the pics, Tnx

Kalum
 

I think "flamboyant" is absolutely the right look for a music awards show. I loved Prince Royce's outfit, too.
 

High necked tight collar suits with a big tight bow doesn't look like Miami. Weird.
 

Mil gracias for the pictures from last night's award show, I missed it!! Pata, I think I love you.. thanks again for everything you do!
 

Thanks for the pics Pata. I also missed the awards, but have been looking at the pics online. I was disappointed by Lucero's dress, but for the most part everyone looked glamorous and sexy. Here is a video of the two Eva Luna kids on the red carpet. If you can believe it, "Lautita" is even taller compared to "Andrian" now: http://musica.univision.com/premio-lo-nuestro/fancam/video/2011-02-17/los-ninos-de-eva-luna
 

re: suits - no, it's not because it's SoBe/Miami.... it simply has to do with bad sense of style of wearers. this is the 2nd time I've seen Ecker don something short of awful outside of the novela.
 

Thanks for welcoming me in this forum. I’m from Croatia and my language is Croatian. I was learning French 8 years. I forgot to speak it but I can read and understand article in French. My second language is German. My third language is English – it’s not perfect but I’m happy with it. I’m learning Spanish just to understand novella. I can say that now after few years of watching novellas in Spanish I can good understand it. Sometimes I’m watching with CC1 caption and after that with CC3 caption to see how good I did understand it. But reading yours recaps always I found something what I didn’t understand with those captions. Martai I was watching Betty La Fea and I was reading all yours summaries. I didn’t forget that you and your grandson have same birthday. He is now about 1 ½ years old. jjablan.
 

jjablan: I have to say your English is impeccable considering it is your third language. I envy you being able to understand 4languages.
 

I went to the "novelas y series' site last night and there were more wonderful fotos of PLN! Blanca looked so absolutely stunning that silver number. I'd love to have that dress, but I'd also love to have the red dress she wore for her 'presentation' to the world!

There were some beautiful still shots of that at the NyS site which were simply gorgeous!

I saw that they were saying that Eva Luna is in its ultimos capitulos. Can this be true?! Have they already announced this on Uni?

For someone who could not get interested in this TN at the outset, I have enjoyed every minute of it recently...I will especially miss Jorge Lavat and Laurita actriz. That little Laurita is going to be one outstanding actriz.

Susanita
 

I am glad people enjoyed the Premio pictures. I actually liked Guy's suit. Didn't think too much of Julians although it was better than the white thing he had on Weds show. I thought Blanca was gorgeous. Loved her dress. Vivi thanks for the link to Laurita and Adrian. I watched it and those two are so cute.

Jjablan, your language skills are impressive. I struggle with Spanish and keep a dictionary close at hand when I recap. I have to agree with most people here that CC3 are not very helpful for me and have stopped using them altogether.

Susanita, ultimate chapters? I haven't heard that. I tried to check out exactly how long this novela was but can't seem to find any info.
 

I just watched the Laurita-Adrian show on the red carpet. Laurita was always a bit taller than Adrian, but it's quite noticeable here.

Either she grew several inches during the show, or could it be--she's wearing heels? Did not see her feet.
Una Nte
 

Gracias, Pata re 'ultimos capitulos'. I saw it at the 'Novelas y Series' site and was a tad stunned to see it. It's where they have some vids of the Eva Luna Tn where they use this phrase.

At least, I did not hear this on Uni and missed it!

I, too, searched to see how many capitulos were slated for this TN, but cannot find the infos!

I love how it is moving quickly, but don't want it to end!!

jjablan, welcome! I meant to say this to you earlier.

Susanita
 

Re: "Ultimos Capitulos". This means "latest" episodes that are available for viewing not "Last Episodes". This telenovela is supposed to have appx. 120 episodes, so there is still some time left.
 

Anon at 5:16: Hmm...I was not aware that 'ultimos' also meant 'most recent'. Gracias!

I'm glad that we have a few more capitulos to go!

Susanita
 

I didn’t notice Ultimos Capitulos. I was paying attention on all novellas I was watching and they announced Ultimos Capitulos about 6-8 weeks before the end. If Eva Luna is about 120 episodes then I think it’s a little early for UC. But if EL is about 100 episodes then now it’s perfect time for UC.
 

jjablan, yup, that's me. grandson is doing great, thanks. Definitely our biggest blessing of late, he is the life of the house... and a handful at same time, but heck aren't 1 1/2 year olds?
