Eva Luna #77 Wed 2/23/11 May old acquaintance be forgot, and be forewarned of new ones

I did a lot of condensing and tried to keep the plot lines together. It is so hard to jump all over the place. I hope I didn’t miss anything. It was quite the night. Feel free to add or correct.

Eva and Julio are talking about the agency. He tells her if she lands this big account it will be a great achievement in her presidency at Arismendi. Then he asks her about her personal life and how things are going with Dan. She tells him she had to lie to him. She told him that Leo was Pablito’s father. Julio looks quite shocked at this news.



He asks her why she did that. Eva tells him she was afraid that Daniel would feel he had rights over the child. Julio asks her what she will do when her son asks him who his father is. Will she lie to him again? Eva looking sad says “Please don Julio don’t make me feel bad.” Julio tells her it isn’t him who is making her feel bad. She is doing that by herself. Eva with tears in her eyes says “You are right. I was acting very egocentric with Daniel and the boy. They both have the right to know who the father is. But for now I want to keep it a secret.”

Don Julio tells her he imagines that Leo was overjoyed to assume the paternity in front of everyone. Eva tells him she knows he has told her to be careful with Leo but he has been very good to her. He even offered to marry her. (see above picture for repeat look on Julio’s face.) He doesn’t agree with this one bit and tells her so. Eva tells him not to worry she told him no. Julio is relieved.

Daniel has gone to the school to get Laurita. As they are walking she asks him what is wrong. He looks sad. He tells her nothing his wrong. She smiles and warns him he will turn into Pinocchio and his nose will grow for telling lies. He smiles and thanks her for making him smile. Then he tells her he hasn’t been having a very good week.


They continue walking and Laurita tells him she hasn’t had a very good week neither. Dan looks concerned and asks her if something has happened at school. She tells him no, but she has really missed him. Very sweet little scene. She tells him he is the most beautiful father in the world. He tells her she is the most beautiful person in the planet. She asks them if they can take a trip and if she can bring Adrian. He tells her sure. Than she asks if Eva can come. Dan looks at her sadly

Jacky is doing something with a potted plant and Fran happens by. He offers to help her and Jacky isn’t having any of this. He starts to walk away and I think she cuts her finger or something on the leaf and Fran walks back to her aid. He grabs her finger to take a look and uses his lips as a band aid.


Marisol and Alicia are poolside. Marisol can’t believe that Leo has asked Eva to marry him. Alicia is all ticked and tells her she is the same stupid person as always. Marisol asks if she has talked to Leo or Eva about this. Alicia tells her she can’t talk to Eva what would she say “Hey Eva are you and Leo lovers?”
Marisol tells her that probably would not be the right thing to say but she needs to tell Eva that she cares for Leo. That she has been seeing him and that she loves him. Marisol is certain Eva would understand.

Fran continues is “first aid” with Jacky and Laurita rushes up smiling and greeting them. They both seem a little nervous as they awkwardly greet her. Laurita tells them to never mind her and continue with what they were doing and starts backing away telling them she’s just a ghost and was never there and splits.

Dan and Laurita are now in her room with Chico. Dan asks her if she is sure she wants to stay at the boarding school. She looks sad and tells him yes, it is for the best. She changes the subject and says “Don’t get mad but guess who came to see me?” She tells him it was Eva. Dan tries to appear neutral about this. She asks him not to be mad about this or get mad at Eva. He tells her he isn’t mad with her or Eva. Laurita smiling tells him they had the best time. Then she looks sad and says “There are days I feel all alone at school.” Dan asks her if she has friends at school. She tells him of course, but she misses home, Jacky Fran her dog and him. She tells him she misses the good night kisses he use to give her. He sweetly kisses her head and tells her he has an Idea “Lets get away and go out on the yacht.” And Chico is even invited. Next thing we know they are out on the water with Laurita as “First mate.”


There are some really cute bonding scenes with the three of them having a great time.


He reminds her about the time when she was little and took her life jacket off and fell off the boat. Laurita laughs and tells him she remembers how she saved him like Tarzan. She tells Dan she is very happy because Eva is back and that she came to see her at school. He tells her that Eva really cares about her. Laurita says “And I care for her. It would have been great if you guys got married.” Dan tells her she is right “It would have been great, but it never happened. And it never will.” Laurita rolling her eyes now asks Daniel if he could divorce Victoria and marry Eva. Dan tells her that Eva has a child and has made her life somewhere else. She tells him she knows he cares for Eva. Dan firmly tells her to stop, this story no longer exists. Laurita does the cute little lock the mouth with a key and says “Okay I won’t say any more. If it makes you sad I won’t talk about Eva any more.”

Tony (Who I guess is no longer fired) is carrying packages into the house for Victoria. He asks her where he should put them. How about the bedroom.

Laurita is taking a little nap and Dan is looking out at the water as he says “Laurita is right. We all feel alone. Her at school and me married and more alone than ever. Victoria and I are growing further apart. Victoria does her own thing. This is nothing more than one sad family.” (or something like that)

I am going to condense the next few scenes. Dan spies a stranded boat in the water. Some hot looking women just happens to be all alone in the middle of no where and has run out of gas. Dan being the great guy that he is becomes her guardian angel and happens to have a gallon of gas for her. Dan wants to know why a woman would be all alone in the middle of the ocean. They chat. She flirts. Her name is Lilly Solis. They have drinks. She toasts destiny for putting him in her path. They discuss how hard it is to find true love. She notes that he is married and he nods his head yes. They are interrupted by Laurita and Dan calls him over to her. Lilly comments on how pretty she is and Dan introduces them. Laurita introduces Chico. Lilly sweetly approaches them and starts petting Chico. She tells them she loves animals and is studying to be a veterinarian. Laurita asks if she could check Chico out. More chat and it is time for Lilly to go. But not before she lets Daniel know where she is staying and to call her if he should need anything.


We also have interspersed scenes of Tony and Vicky in the bedroom. She has become all seductive and asks him what he would do to go to bed with her. He hems a bit and tells her he would do anything. He asks her where he should start. Her price is to help her destroy Eva. (Or end her)

Deb comes bearing gifts for Pablito.


Every one is happy to see her except Tia Matilda. They have a short knowing look with one another.

Alicia continues her rant about Leo. She tells Marisol that she feels like Leo likes Eva. That’s what makes it so awful that what they have is nothing more than a fling. (Actually what she said was “Nothing more than a game played in the bed“) Marisol “the wise one” tells her that a man doesn’t go out with some one for that long and not feel something for her. Alicia tells her she wishes that was true but she doesn’t know. Marisol asks her what Eva said. Does she want to marry him? Alicia tells her no but “What if she accepts? I will go nuts. I love Leo. I Love what I have lived with him. How can I continue to live here with out him”

Leo calls Dan’s house and Jacky answers the phone. He asks for Dan and she tells him he is on the yacht with Laurita. That’s why he couldn’t reach him. He tells her he will call him later.

Deb gives Eva the gift for Pablito. Tia continues to look upset. Eva tells Deb she shouldn’t have gone to all the trouble. Deb assures her it was no trouble. She tells Eva her child is endearing. Tia is thought bubbling “Oh my god, make this woman go away.” Eva tells Deb she loves her son a lot and has never been separated from him. Furthermore nothing on earth would cause her to leave him. Tia continues the dirty looks and evil thoughts as she thinks to herself “ Don’t you dare tell Eva that she is your daughter.”


Deb returns the look as if she can hear Tia’s thoughts.


Eva tells Deb that Aunt Matilda knows how much her and Alicia have suffered because their mother abandon them. Deb staring at Tia tells Eva “I can just imagine.” Tia stares back. Eva says she would never leave her child and she wouldn’t let anyone take him from her. Deb tells her she is in total agreement and there is no pain greater than having a child taken away. Tia is looking quite uncomfortable at this time as she continues feeding Pablito. Eva asks Deb if she has children. She tells her she had two. Eva asks where they are. Deb stares very hard at Tia who is sporting a very guilty looking face.

Eva asks again, what happened to her children and wants to know if they live in Los Angeles. Deb tells her they do, but sadly they are distanced from one another. She shoots a look at Tia and Tia has turned a bit green around the edges. Eva tells her she is sorry and wants to know if she can be frank. Deb tells her of course. Eva then says “Why don’t you look for them and see if you can work out your differences?” Tia is quite nervous now. Deb asks “Do you think I should do that?” Eva tells her “It is your responsibility as their mother to get close to them no matter what has happened in the past. Don’t you think?” Deb shakes her head sadly in agreement.

Ricardo is telling Justa that they will get a social worker to help them out with the Adrian situation. At that moment Adrian pops his head out and excitedly asks them if they want to play bingo.

Deb asks Eva if she would forgive her mother if she came back. Eva tells her no. Their case is very different. They weren’t fighting or having disagreements. Her mother left them as if they didn’t exist. Deb tells her that surely her mother has an explanation. Eva tells her that her father told them what happened. And even if she came back crying and begging she would never forgive her. This causes Deb to break down in tears. Eva looks up and asks her why she is crying. Deb says all of this makes her very emotional and suddenly leaves. Eva gets up to go after her but is stopped by Tia who tells her it is Pablito’s bed time.

Laurita knocks on Fran’s door. He seems to be doing crosswords. She asks him if he would mind taking her to see Adrian. He tells her he doesn’t think that is a good idea. He tells her Dan might get upset. Laurita tells him Daniel gave her permission. Fran reluctantly agrees grabbing his jacket and wondering why women are as they are.

Eva is telling Tia that she feels like instead of helping Deb in finding her children that she scared her with her own story about her mother. Tia is brushing it off telling her it is probably best if she doesn’t bring that subject up again with Deb. Besides she is a good friend of Marcellas and she could tell Marcella their intimate details. Eva tells her she isn’t worried about that. Deb seems very professional and respectful and would never share Marcella’s evil ways. She tells Tia that she likes Deb. Tia looks away and is at a loss for words.

Fran makes one final attempt to dissuade Laurita from going to the pension. He makes up a story about having to do an errand for Dan. Laurita calls him out on this lie and tells him he just doesn’t want to run into Marisol. She calls him a coward. He tells her he isn’t a coward and he isn’t afraid. She says, than lets go. Fran reluctantly opens the door for her as mutters “I don’t know why women treat me like this.”

The happy bingo game is interrupted as Thomas comes swaggering in saying he is looking for a little brat. Adrian looks petrified.


Brave Ricardo tells Thomas that he won’t permit him to take Adrian. All he wants to do is exploit and abuse him. Thomas yells back “What’s it to you. I can do what ever I want to this brat. Get over here now!!” as he yells at Adrian. All the ruckus has caused Marisol Alicia and Tony to come rushing in. Ricardo tells Marisol to take Adrian while he straightens this mess out. Thomas is huffing and puffing and reaches in his pocket and pulls out a gun as he yells he is taking the kid.


Pandemonium breaks out as everyone starts screaming. Ricardo yells “You will have to take him over my dead body,” Thomas yells back “That’s okay by me you idiot.” Even Tony gets in the action as he yells at Thomas to stop. Ricardo tells him to let the kid stay with them because he doesn’t love Adrian. . Thomas yells “Why should I love that brat. He is not my son!!!” Justa and Ricardo both looked shocked to hear this.

Justa wants to know what he is talking about. Thomas says “Just what you heard. My woman was stepping out on me. This brat isn’t my son. That’s why I hate him and want him to suffer.” Ricardo shouts back “Well now more than ever I won’t let you take him. You will have to kill me.” Thomas taking aim shouts back “Well you won’t be the first one I’ve sent to the devil” and shoots Ricardo in the chest.

Justa is hovering over Ricardo’s body and Adrian crying goes over to Thomas shouting “Why did you shoot Ricardo?” Uncharacteristically Tony is between the two of them bravely trying to keep Adrian from harms way. Then Thomas freaks a bit and starts aiming the gun randomly around the pension.

Just when things don’t look like they could get worse, Fran and Laurita walk in and spook Thomas as he turns now and aims the gun at them.

Marisol finally approaches him and pleads with him to not cause any more harm and put the gun down. He continues waving the gun and shouts “Don’t any one move!!” and splits. We see Justa lying beside Ricardo and everyone else hovering in shock. (Some one please dial 911)

Someone must have finally dialed 911 as we see Ricardo being carted off by the ambulance. Every one is now off to the hospital. Justa in the ambulance and Tony tells Alicia and Marisol they can ride with him. Fran asks Marisol if she wants to go with and she turns and tells him politely no thank you. Fran says okay then and grabs Laurita’s hand to leave. Poor Adrian is left alone crying.


Laurita stops Fran and looks over at Adrian. Fran tells him everything will be all right and he can go to the hospital with them.

Good news. Ricardo will make a full recovery. We see everyone from the pension hanging out in the hospital waiting room. Tony approaches Fran and says “You’re the millionaire that married Marisol. Right?” Fran replies “You’re the guy that invited Jacky to the movies. Right? You never called back,”
Tony remarks what a small world.

Renata tells Eva she has a visitor. Eva finds Claudia waiting in the living room. She curtly asks her what she wants. She tells Eva she needs to talk to her. She has a lot to tell her. Things that Victoria did against her. Eva tells Claudia that if she remembers correctly she is Victoria’s friend. Claudia says she was her friend. Their friendship is over. That’s why she is there. Eva wants to know why now she has decided to come and tell her about the things Victoria did to her. Claudia tells her that she just found out she was back and “Oh by the way congratulations on the perfume thing and the agency presidency.” She tells Eva she also knows about the inheritance Julio left her that should have gone to Marcella. That’s why she is there. Eva is suspicious and asks if she wants money for her information. Claudia assures her that is not the case. What she has to tell her is free of charge. “You will be very surprised to hear what Victoria did to separate you from Daniel.”

Eva tells Claudia to sit down. She asks her if she came because she was sorry or if wanted vengeance against Victoria. Claudia tells her it is for both reasons. She continues, not only against Victoria but her entire family because they all caused her a lot of harm. Eva asks her why she thinks she would believe her.
Claudia tells her it is because she simply wants to tell her the truth. She continues “From the first moment that Victoria suspected you had something to do with Daniel she did a lot of stuff to harm you and to try and separate you from him.” Then she brings up the night of the awards and informs her that it was her that ruined her dress because Victoria told her to. We get a flash back of the disguised Claudia throwing juice or something all over Eva’s dress. Eva has a hard time believing this because she was so kind to her.

She also tells her about the bogus modeling shoot when Victoria drove her out to the woods. Eva can’t believe that she was in danger all that time More flashbacks as Eva remembers Victoria’s strange questions about fidelity. Her intention was to kill her. Eva asks if they were all alone how come she didn’t kill her. Claudia starts to tell her that just as she was going to shoot her someone intervened. At that moment who should walk in but the lying lizard Leo.


Claudia looks quite spooked, but Eva tells him it was a good thing that he is there. Claudia greets him coldly and Leo tells her he is surprised to see her there. She snidely smiles and says “I can imagine.”
Leo says he didn’t know they were friends. Eva tells him they aren’t but she came to tell her all the bad things that Victoria did to her while she was working at the house. Leo looks a bit concerned. Eva tells him she told her about the time in the woods when she was alone with Victoria. She tells him that Victoria had every intention of killing her but something stopped it. Leo has a flashback of this incident. Eva then tells Claudia to finish her story. Claudia now shaken says someone intervened but she doesn’t know who it was. Leo gives Claudia the stare of death.

Tia Matilda interrupts and tells Eva that Pablito is ready for bed. Claudia is surprised to hear that Eva has a child. She tells her yes and now she has to go see him. She asks for Claudia’s phone number so they can continue their conversation. Claudia is more than happy to give it to her. Leo stands with arms concerned and eyes crossed. Oh I mean arms crossed and eyes concerned as Claudia gives Eva her card. Leo tells Eva to go to Pablito, he will see Claudia to the door.

Claudia attempts to leave and tells Leo not to bother she knows the way. Leo quickly grabs her and tells her she isn’t going anywhere. Leo is strong arming Claudia and telling her she is about to enter the mouth of the wolf. Claudia is trying to free herself telling him she is not afraid of him. Leo quite angry asks her why she didn’t tell Eva it was him who intervened with Victoria in the woods. She tells him because she knew he was still living there and Eva trusts him. For the right price she will keep her mouth shut. She tells him to meet her at her house and they will negotiate the fee. She tells him if he doesn’t she will tell Eva everything. Leo is not pleased as he kicks the chair after she leaves.

Renata shows up at Julio’s place. He thanks her for coming. Julio tells her Justa hasn’t shown up yet. She informs him that she passed his message on to Justa but she had no interest. Julio tells her if she won’t come to him he will have to try a different tactic. Renata looks worried and asks him what he thinks he might do. He says if the mountain won’t come to me then I will have to go to the mountain as he picks up his address book. He hands it to Renata and tells her to put Justas address and phone number in it. Renata backs away and tells him no way. He looks at her and tells her he isn’t asking her he is ordering her to do it. He tells her not only can she but she has to do it. She continues to refuse and Julio is not taking no for an answer. He asks her if she would rather continue to feel responsible for her mistakes. She finally takes the book.

Renata tells Julio not to go see Justa. If she didn’t come there it was because she had no interest. He tells Renata that he has the address of the woman who he has loved most in his life. He tells her that her and Marcella destroyed the happiness that they had. At that very moment we hear Eva coming in Carrying Pablito. She sternly looks at Renata and asks her what she is doing there. Julio tells Eva to calm down as he pats Renata as he walks by. He tells Eva she is there because he asked her to come by as he goes over to Pablito to play with him. Renata is taking all this in. She finally says goodbye and leaves.


Eva is concerned that it might be a bit dangerous that Renata knows he is alive. Julio assures her that Renata has to long of a tail to go stepping all over it (tiene demasiada cola que le pisen,) and it isn’t convenient for her to say anything. He knows what he is doing. He continues his sweet playfulness with Pablito. Eva puts him down and he is standing. Julio is pleasantly surprised to see that he is walking.

Eva now tells Julio about her visit from Claudia. She tells him that she told her about all the awful things Victoria did against her. Julio can’t believe that Victoria would try and kill her. Eva tells him that jealousy makes people crazy. Eva admits that she knew from the beginning that Victoria was Daniel’s girlfriend and she should have never gotten involved with him. Julio tells her that nobody steals some one else’s love. If Daniel was interested in her it was because he was not in love with Victoria. Eva tells him “ For all the damage he has caused me it would have been better if I had never met him.” She says the best thing Daniel did for her was to give her Pablito as she gently touches his head. Julio asks her if she has finally gotten Daniel out of her heart. She tells him the love has turned to hate and all she wants now is for Daniel to pay for the death of her father.

Tony and Alicia chat. He tells her it is times like these that bring people together. Alicia tells Tony that there is nothing between them. Tony tells her they can start over. Alicia says no way. Tony tells her he is crazy in love with her. He tells her he is so in love with her that he is willing to forget all about her and Leo. Alicia walks away. Tony reminds her about the first time they met on the bus. The Alicia that came to the pension. The Alicia that was his. She tells him that Alicia no longer exists. Tony tells her she owes it to herself to find her. He tells her he really misses her. She walks away from him.

Marisol and Fran have a moment together. They discuss the bad luck at the pension. Fran tells her he didn’t come just for Laurita. He was curious to see her. Fran tells her they still have something to deal with. She tells him she knows. That’s why she went looking for him at his house. Fran is surprised to hear this. She tells him Jacky said he was at work, didn’t she tell him. Fran tells her no.

Dan and Victoria are at home. Victoria wants to know how his day went. He tells her he was on the Yacht. Victoria tells Daniel that she spent the day with her mother trying to calm her down. She was really mad because Eva kicked her out of the agency. She tells Dan her mother told her he was there when all this went down. Dan tells Victoria that he told Eva he didn’t agree with her but Marcella wasn’t doing anything to help matters. She was insulting and disrespectful. Victoria can’t believe that Daniel would be on Eva’s side. Daniel with drink in hand and an exhausted look on his face tells her this wasn’t the case. The deal is Eva has all the power now. They have to accept this. Her mother continues to goad her and confront her and these are the results. He tells her that he did talk with Eva and insisted that she let her come back. He tells Victoria that he thinks he convinced her.

Victoria doesn’t look pleased but fakes it as she smiles and tells Daniel thank you. She then says “Don’t you realize how much she hates us and is trying to destroy us? But I know we will all be united and will put an end to her.” Daniel continues drinking and looks very forlorn.

Victoria tells Dan she has a great idea so they can spent a few days away from the city. She has a commercial a few hours away from LA and afterwards they can spend a few days alone in a hotel. Daniel tells her that is impossible he is very busy and can’t get away. Victoria continues to beg and Dan tells her with all the changes now he can’t possible get away. She smarts off and says “Your right, probably when you got back your office would be vacated as well” (I think that is what she said.) Daniel has a look of shock on his face.

She quickly changes the subject and tells him she is going to take a bath and tells him she invited a friend over for supper. She hopes this isn’t a bother. Dan tells her of course it isn’t a bother. Guess who Vicky’s good friend is. Lilly Solis. She happens to be a model and is in town. Dan is quite shaken to see her.
Victoria is clinging to Dan and smiley proudly telling Lilly she told her he was handsome. Lilly smiles back and agrees. Victoria tells her she is very jealous and won’t let another woman near him. Lilly tells her she understands perfectly. An uncomfortable Dan offers her a drink. Victoria doesn’t miss a beat and asks Dan if everything is all right. Dan lies and tells her that her friend looks like some one he knows. Victoria tells him that it has to be someone else and that Lily is a model from New York and is looking for work.

Victoria is selling all of Lily’s fine points as a model. Daniel’s sold as he tells them they are looking for a model for a shampoo commercial. He tells her if she is interested to come by the office for an interview. Of course Lily is interested. Victoria smiles and thanks him calling him an angel. Lily is also smiling as she watches Victoria walk over to Dan.

Dan, Victoria and Lily are now in the living room. I think Dan is telling them that Eva has the final word about her working there. Lilly wants to know who Eva is.

Dan and Lily are alone now and Dan asks her why she didn’t tell Vicky that they knew one another. She tells him she knows how jealous Victoria gets and didn’t want to make things difficult. Besides the important thing is that they are together once more. “You helped me out before and now your going to help me find work.” Dan thinks about this for a second then tells her it will be a pleasure to help her out. She gets up and moves closer telling him. What ever happens happens, but the pleasure is a guarantee. Lily asks Daniel if he is really happy with Victoria. Dan wonders why she would ask such a thing. She tells him she noticed the coldness between them. It’s like the great wall of china is between them. (una pared del tamaño nurall china/ literally, a wall the size of rural china.) Daniel asks her how she could say something like that since she only just got there. How could she know he is not happy with his wife.














That’s where we end but I have one more interesting picture for everyone. So are we coming to an end soon?

Pata,

quick note before I leave for work, Thank you for the recap and clips.

I thought this TN was almost over, and they are introducing new characters. This bad copy of Eva (Lilie) or whatever her name is its a set up fore sure I could see it a mile away. IMO its vicky who set him up. this bad copy of Eva has her hair and body type, but thats it. vicky wants a baby by Dan and since her womb is broken, she will have this girl tempt Daniel (which I hope he doesn't fall for)to get said child.

So now tomas is a wanted man for shooting Don Richardo. YEAH

Beautiful scene with Daniel and Laurita. father and daughter bounding time.
Can someone explain to me why Leo was looking for Daniel?

I hope Claw will be ok with Leo, I would have meet him in a public place not my house?
 

Thanks for the early recap, Pata. I could read it with breakfast. Very good job of what I felt was a painful episode.
Michele, that purpose of the Lilliana character makes a lot of sense, but it will make the TN a lot longer. Then again, I remember STuD had months of "ultimas semanas", so there you are. Like the "final encore" of some opera mezzo soprano that never ends.
Eva may be the dumbest character right now, I am sorry to say. If Victoria was trying to kill her, why would she trust her brother who is still close to his sister? I hope Alicia does tell Eva about their relationship.
Tia Tilde is getting on my nerves.
Claudia is toast. She knows enough to blow up the whole thing. Hope she gets a chance to tell Eva about her pregnancy and what happened to it.
It will be interesting to see what happens when DJ sees Justa, after she faints and wakes up.
 

Michele, I am such a lunk head. I never noticed the comparison till you said something. I went back and added pictures, one of Eva and one of Lily. There is definetly a resemblance. Hope you have a good day at work.

Emarie. This was a painful episode. I was really surprised that Ricardo wasn't killed off though. I sure hope this doesn't drag on forever. At least we know there is an end in sight. But lots of loose ends to tie up.

I was also surprised at how brave Tony was at the pension.
 

Yes, I predict Tony's redemption which at the moment is stimulating my gag reflex. Se la vie.
 

Sorry, c'est la vie. That's what I get for trying to speak French while studying Spanish.
 

I thought this was an unexpected episode. I noticed right away the "poor" version of Eva, but was not sure who put her up to it. I cringed during those scenes, my hair seemed to stand on end. I loved Eva's mother's heartbreaking scenes, hearing her daughter will never forgive her, while the misguided Aunt just looked on. Why doesn't she pull out her tarot cards and find out if her brother lied to her or not? I look forward to tonight's episode when Don Julio returns to the boarding house, I'm wondering if Tony will be at the house to see him. And, btw, congratuations to whoever said yesterday this novela felt like it was in ultima semanas. That was excellent. Was it my imagination or was it a Marcela free episode?
 

Thanks for the recap Pata! Glad to see Claw back and I thought it was stupid of them to talk all out in the open. I wonder what Claw is going to blackmail Leo with. Do you think she just wants money? She could've gotten that from Eva.

This "Lili" person is bad news. She is already all over Leo in the avances. I wish Eva would've walked in on Leo and Lili kissing, but NO, she walks in on Dano. Hopefully Lili has been introduced so that she can be one of Marci's casualties.
 

Pata: Excellent recap! Great title, BTW! Thanks for the pictures, also. Very nice.
============
Las últimas semanas was finally advertized last night after the avances. Yippee! Payback is just around the corner!!
============
MichelePA: I never put Lili as surrogate mother for Icky at all. Good thinking! I did wonder if it wasn't too convenient for her to have run out of gas tho' and wondered if she was some high priced hooker type with blackmail in mind. Then I thought, well, Eva will have a reason to get jealous with Lili drooling over Dano at work. Dan may use this as a means of drawing her back to him.
====

Anyway, Tomas is now a wanted man on the lam. He's surely going to jail for a good long while if he doesn't get killed during a police chase, and Adrian will get free of him.
 

Claw, IMO, was stoooooopid agree to meet with Leo anywhere but in person. Actually, I'd have changed my address! At least she has Eva's phone no. now, and her trust. Keeping my fingers crossed that, yeah, she gets to tell about Leo's "love" of babies and how Marcela caused her to abort with her poison herbs before he gets to her and maybe finishes her off. Actually, I'd like to see Claw reformed and saved and testify against Icky regarding the acid in the other model's face cream and the attempted murder against Eva.
 

Glad and sad to see that this TN is coming to an end. I hope they don't try to wrap up everything up in 1 or 2 episodes. I would like to see Eva and Dan happily together w/their family for a little bit.

Their happiness when they were together was very short lived and we only got one love scene.
 

Pata- Thank you for this wonderful recap and pics. I think a pic comparing the long, long legs of Liliana to the long, long legs of Eva would have been a more appropriate comparison. She does act like Dan's seductive Dream Eva though.

So this tn is coming to an end? Really. That's pretty short for a novela. We're only at episode 76. Most other tns these days are just hitting the slow phase that will go on for weeks/months before picking up speed again around episode 110. I did finally see the ad for Teresa last night, but no start date. I'm looking forward to that one.
 

I agree with the comments about the 'poor' version of Eva that Veekee might try to throw in Dan's face...
but what I loved about the ep was the very beginning. Don Julio can read not only Eva like a paper, but also Leo on telepathy... as soon as Eva told him she told Dano Leo was the dad, he jumped and said that he was sure now Leo is happy to play the father figure and support. and so glad he warned Eva not to ever accept Leo's offer.

regarding why Leo was looking for Dano, I am sure it was to rub in his face that he was going to do everything he could to fill the role of the father for that kid and since now Dano thinks leo is indeed the dad, he will be even more devastated. Leo might even lie to Dano and say that Eva agreed to marry him, we'll see.
Love the previews... things are definitely moving along.
Tony and Tomas are both slime, nuff said.
 

Thank you so much for the recap. As always you filled in some blanks for me.

Oh my goodness, it never even occurred to me that this Lily person was an "Eva-Lite"! But that makes sense. I knew that this girl had an agenda but couldn't put it all together. Well, she is no Eva. She is attractive of course, but seems so "aware" of her beauty (and it's a different kind of beauty from Eva's) and that right there makes her different from Eva. I always got the impression that Eva was oblivious to her beauty (though she had to know what men had on their mind and how they reacted to her). Her unselfconsciousness of her beauty was probably a big reason why Daniel fell for her.

I did a search for this new telenovela "Teresa" and during my search I found this site which claims that Eva Luna is ending on . . . March 15th! *Sob*

I hope it's not true but something tells me it might be. This is all too sudden. If it does end then, that would mean it is 90 episodes, which seems like a rounded out number. But it is too SOON! What will I DO?!?!? First I had to give up Fernando Colunga when Soy tu Duena ended, and now I must give up Guy Ecker? It is too soon! Well, at least there is still Valentino Lanus in Llena de Amor. That TN is supposed to end in May.

Back to the storyline—I am sad to see this TN end, but yet again, it will be great to see everyone get their just deserts. I agree with whoever said they don't want to have the happy ending rushed too much.

I too fear for Claudia. Let's hope she can get more info to Eva before she is done in.
 

Doubt that Lili to be a baby sub for Vicky. V would have chosed someone who could produce a child resembling she and Dano. Also take too long

Hope Claudia records conversation with Leio and gives it to someone she trusts.

Kalum
 

Even more than her baby story, I hope Claudia gets to tell Eva or someone who can tell her later, that Leo had Dano's red ferrari car and returned it damaged.
 

Yikes,

OMG!!!!!I just had a thought what if it wasn't Vicky to set up the copy cat Eva. But Leo, b/c in the advances he's kissing all over her and I thought I heard something about a plan? Which is why he was calling Jacky to see where Daniel was, b/c he couldn't get a hold of him. Then he could set up the girl on the water to be out of gas.We won't known until tonite.

Kalum your right about my first theory, it can't be vicky b/c she did say to the doctor that the baby had to be from her womb. So it has to be Leo or Marcela. And you know she (Marcela) was quite last nite and she did have access to different Models. Man this thing is getting good.

I'm sad it will be ending on the 15th of March.
 

Leo called Dan after he left to go sailing so, I dont think Leo set up the meeting with Dan and Lilliana but I think he's going to take advantage of it. Dont know why he would try to push Dan and Lilliana together except to piss Eva off(which may back-fire and make her muy celos)or to keep Vicky pre-occupied and away from Eva.

Hoping Cluadia live long enough to tell all that she knowns maybe she'll go tell Dan next.
 

OMGosh!!!! Michelle, I think you are right.. I went and watched the previews again and I think you are right about Leo. I'm not sure how they are going to wrap it all up by March 15.
I hope Eva calls Claudia soon and gets the whole scoop before our evil villains get to Claudia and make her dissapear for good. Did anyone find Ricardo's shooting to the heart unnecessary, lol. I was thinking a bullet to his leg or arm would've accomplishesd the same, lol There for a minute I thought they were going to kill him off to get DJ and Justa back together.
Marison and Fran...yuck! I used to like, but not anymore.
Liliana,ewwww!! she must a disease of some sort.. Dano stay away from her.
Leo will catch the disease from Liliana and he'll die from it.
Ahhh, wishful thinking.
 

Somebody has to blow the whistle on Icky about the acid in the face cream.

Marcie's goin' down soon. And Don J will be giving Eva away at the wedding (where I hope Chico will be the ring bearer).

March 15th seems a little soon; "ultimas semanas" usually means 6 at Univision. But 90 episodes is adequate for most novela stories and this one moves a bit faster than Televisa productions.

I'm eager to see Teresa despite the possibility that it might just be a clone of Rubi. And there will be Sebastian Rulli to stare at.
 

Pata, thanks mucho mucho for the quick posting of the recap. I scanned the comments and most people are sad that this is going to be over so soon. March 15 seems too soon to wrap things up.

I wonder if they plan several 2-hour episodes?? Don't know where they would put them unless they knock off TDA, which would tick off TDA watchers or LLDA, which is getting to the resolution stage.

I wondered, too, what a "beautiful" girl would be doing out on a boat BY HERSELF. Question asked and answered in the previews. It's Leo setting it up, but why?

I agree with Ebony--he desperately needs to divert V-Ick from her vendetta against Eva and focus on the new rival, Liliana. Leo needs Eva alive.

Now we have several oh, so obvious plot devices with holes as big as tunnels we can see through. 1. Alicia couldn't finish talking to Eva about Leo the other day; 2. Deb couldn't finish her conversation with Eva; 3. Claw couldn't finish her conversation with Eva. Claw's is the most critical to getting Dan & Eva back together (including that Leo got her pregnant and DIDN'T want the child--HYPOCRITE) and she's in the most danger.

Claw had better have a video camera ready, along with a tape recorder. I can't believe that after her run-in with Marcela, she wouldn't be better prepared for the worst.

Poor Ricardo. Shot to death would have been a merciful way to move him out of Justa and Julio's way without hurting his feelings, haha.

It looks like the Marisol-Fran divorce may not take place. I can't see her moving into Misery Manor 2.0 with Fran AND Jacky. Even with their combined income, they don't have too many options (not that I care).

The other thing that may break it wide open is when Eva decides to accuse Dan of hit-and-run and needs Leo to testify against Dan. How many guess he weasels out of it before lying on the stand.

We also have Tony with pictures. Dan has already seen them. In his position right now (not quite prone), showing them to Alicia first will hurt her more than if he shows them to Eva. All she can do is deny, deny--and maybe think, think back to the halcyon days at the cabana, haha.

Pata--I'm going to go back to my tape, but it was my impression that Eva told Don Julio, that despite trying to turn all her love into hate for Daniel, he's still in her corazon.

Same thing a little earlier Eva is telling DJ that she DIDN'T know at first (the massage table, the car showroom, his nearly running her over when she was fleeing the dog, meeting in the kitchen) that he was an hombre prometido. If she had known, she would never have looked at him.
Una Nte
 

UnaNte: Thanks for that list. The one big question for me is how will she prove she didn't know Leo took those pictures? Leo's already told Dano she would deny it if he ever brought them up to her. Tony will have to play into that somehow.
=============
Kalum: Good catch about the fact that Icky said she had to have that baby on her own.
 

Jar--That's a good one. I've been wondering that myself. It's his word against hers and he's already fed Daniel the filthy lies.

Eva doesn't remember what happened after she drank the tea. When she woke up, wasn't she alone, with Leo hovering around the room? He'd already taken the photos.

She needs to confront Leo and ask when that happened, because she certainly didn't participate. And why on earth would he take pictures of something so intimate and private. For that alone she should be incensed and write him off.

He's the only one who knows she didn't participate in any love-making. He may try the Ivana-JM trick of what do you mean, you don't remember, it was wonderful, you were so passionate.

She needs to inadvertently, if necessary, let Dan know that NO one knew where she was during the whole year + she was gone. Then, he could start figuring out the time-line. The pictures HAVE to come to light, though and debunked before Dano believes anything.

Ah, I just remembered. Leo got Tony to take the film to be developed and prints made AFTER she ran away--which puts it post-coital with Dano. If there are only a couple of weeks between those two events, then Leo could still argue for it being his child.

Viewerville knows a DNA test would solve everything for Dan now, but were he to suggest it, Eva would refuse--don't know what reason she would give, but she would fear that a positive match would result in her losing Pablito.

Wouldn't a mother's rights come into play here for custody? Eva would have to be proven an unfit mother to lose the child, although she might have to share custody or grant visitation rights.

Man - I want that yacht!!!!!

Audrey
 

To continue--
About Eva waking up alone, I meant alone in the bed. Also, Leo had redressed her. How is he going to explain that?

Audrey--I can't believe anything that size could be operated with a crew of one adult, one child, and a tiny little dog. Guess I don't know that much about big yachts.
Una Nte
 

I agree - no way is Vicki going to dangle another woman in front of Dan's nose! She knows he doesn't love her. Dan could easily leave her for another woman.

It must be Leo to keep Vicki busy and away from her murderous instincts. Leo's the only one with brains - too bad he wastes them on dirty tricks.

Yeah - isn't is a little late to start the proceedings against Dan for running over Eva's dad? That kind of stuff usually lasts for weeks in novelas!

Audrey
 

Actually, Una Nte, I believe that it could be, as long as there was someone at the marina to disconnect the moorings. Everything is automated.

But I would definitely want at one more adult as crew.

Audrey
 

Thanks, Audrey, I'll remember that the next time I rent one of those yachtzotes.

Pata--Eva does say she would "jamas" never would have fixed her eyes on Dan if she had known a) he had a novia and b) his novia was DonJ's daughter.

Also, in the subsequent scene, she does mean she hasn't gotten him out of her heart. She says, pero mi corazon no oyo el orden or something close to that--meaning her heart didn't listen to her orders (to stop loving Dan and hating him for the hit-and-run).
Una Nte
 

Man - I want that yacht!!!!!
ME TOO!!! and small like that, nothing huge so it could be operated by 1 adult and even a 10 y.0. smart girl like Laurita
 

At that link concerning End dates for Eva Luna.
Note it says Ultima Semanas. Not Ultima Capitulos.
I do know they were still filming a capitulo 204.
The programming guy for Univision tweeted that Blanca, Guy, Julian etc are not going anywhere. Queda en Univision.
Maybe Ultima Semanas for this part of the story, and some kinda new telenovela twisty "sequel". You guys do know this is the first Univision production made in US (Miami) and first airing in US rather than Mexico. So this Eva Luna is a first for Univision in many different ways, and I can see them doing something different with their "Ultima Semanas".
 

Also, since being the first, Venevision wasnn't sure how well it would be received and wanted to err on the side of caution and started with less than 100.

Maybe the beginning and ending credits and advances are already pasted into the capitulos. But 204 sounds like a lot, even for Univision.

We can only wait and see.
Una Nte
 

I have heard in Mexico they only show them 1/2 hr at a time.
 

I sure hope it's a little longer. Just because there's a link on Wikipedia doesn't mean it's accurate. I wonder where that page got those dates, though. But . . . who knows? I really really hope that we have a little longer. March 15 seems too soon!
 

OMG! At first glance, I too thought that Liliana resembled Eva, but upon looking closely.... NOT! it just dawned on me when Vicky introduced her to Dano that it is a set-up.

this is really getting good now!
 

Emarie: ay no... just read your 'STuD had months of "ultimas semanas." I got all excited about this tn ending soon. oh well. remains to be seen.
