Llena de Amor #120 (Mex. 125) Tue 2/1/11 Remember, kids: no party hat, no party.

Hard to tell how we get the message from the ad they’re shooting…Kristel’s and Mau’s video makes a much more compelling argument for latex.
This is going to be a quickie…I have to leave really early in the morning for a work trip, and I still need to pack.
At the restaurant, Jorge and Emanuel accuse each other of not having married their one true loves. Eman says Jorge’s into Victoria. Jorge says Eman’s obviously still hung up on Marianela. MariVicky finally gets tired of hearing how everyone loves her and tells them it’s a pointless argument. They’re both married. Now back to business. How does Emanuel know so much about weight loss? Why did he study it? He says because Marianela was everything to him, and he wanted her to be healthy so they could live long, long lives together.
Emanuel talks about getting Mari up early for exercise. We see it in flashbacks, with the utterly necessary mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after Mari tripped and Eman fell on top of her. Victoria smiles and says she remembers…uh, being told this story by Marianela, of course. Jorge tells Emanuel to move on. Eman says he knows his gordita hates him, although he still loves her. Jorge says she isn’t YOUR gordita anymore. Emanuel sniffles and assures them that from now on, that chapter of his life is closed. He’ll forget about her. MariVicky wipes away a tear.
They go back to the agency, Emanuel bizarrely hovering over MV as they walk, like he’s trying to sniff her hair or something. She tells Jorge she’s learned a lot working with Emanuel. Eman wonders why she’s being so nice to him. She suggests they start over again, as friends. They shake on it, Eman standing back and reaching way out suspiciously, waiting for the trick.
Meanwhile, in the studio, the crew has been setting up a romantic bedroom scene. Jackie chases André onto the set and trashes it and yells at him. Lowrenzo chews her out for the unprofessional behavior.
Doris tries to fix Jackie’s makeup while the models yell at each other. André’s sick of the jealous fits and wants to break up. Jackie says she’ll kill him first. Doris says they don’t have to make up, but the makeup is a must, so leave the killing until she’s done.
Emiliano comes to the studio and takes Eman and Jorge away for businessy stuff, leaving MariVicky unguarded in time for Malicio to walk in. Mauron gives MV roses. She reminds him that she’ll have nothing to do with him until he ditches Kristel at the altar. MV coldly shoves the roses back at him and tells him not to interrupt her work. On his way out, Fonskanka smoothly regifts the roses to Jackie and tells her she’s the most beautiful woman ever. André tells her she’s even worse than he is with the flirting, and he gets beaten with the roses.
Meanwhile, bride-to-not-be Kristel is in Lowrenzo’s office, reading a lurid tabloid report of the video viewing. Low tries to remember to throw a little sympathy into his pervy commiseration. Mostly he’s bummed he didn’t get to see it. Kristel starts describing it to him. “Like this?” he tries to act it out, clutching her against him. No, not quite, she says, scooting around to the other side of the desk to get away from him, but continuing her flushed recounting of the passionate intensity. Low tries hard to stay network-legal.
He doesn’t try for long, though. Next we see them, he’s sliming all over Kristel, trying to kiss her. He tells her Agent Orange is selfish and doesn’t appreciate her; she needs his expert dirty-old-man lurvin’. She feebly objects…he’s her mother’s lover and all… Low doesn’t care, and gets her in a torrid embrace just as Malicio walks in.
Kristel claims they were just talking about their commercial, and Low was getting something out of her eye. Mau isn’t fooled, being an expert on pervy rapeyness and all. He throws Kristel out of the office so he can privately yell at Low for losing the stolen money and hitting on his novia. Low asks why he’s marrying Kristel, anyway…it’s gotta be either money, or some other dame. And since the engagement happened just as Garduño got out of prison, Low is convinced Mau and Garduño have a scheme going, and he’s furious to be left out of it. Also, he knows Mau has the hots for Victoria, and threatens to tell Emil about Mau’s extracurricular activities. Malicio agrees to let Low’s low behavior slide.
Over at the big house, Fedra and Nereida cry because Bernardo is nowhere to be found. Woe is them. But more woe is Bernie, and I couldn’t be happier about it. He’s still tied to the chair in the basement, and a rat is gnawing on his nethers. Delightful.
Paula and Delicia are at the supermarket. Delicia is tired; they’ve been shopping for a long time. She’s starting to think Paula is dilly-dallying on purpose. A voice comes on the loudspeaker, calling Delicia to another area of the store. She’s confused but heads over. Axel pops out of a tower of paper products.
Axel and Delicia sing and dance around the store, and he gives her flowers from a display. She smiles, but argues that he’s rich and she’s poor, and it will never work out. The loudspeaker comes on again: “Señorita Delicia, please accept the flowers.” “Stay out of it!” Delicia yells to the ceiling. Axel puts her hand on his chest so she can feel how fast his heart is beating when he’s with her. She says that’s sweet, but this is just a game that will end. Axel gets down on one knee and asks her if she wants to marry him. Delicia looks stunned, slowly breaks into a quivering big smile, and says, “…no.”
Delicia marches through the clothing department as Axel hustles after her. The loudspeaker pipes up: “Señorita Delicia, why don’t you want to marry your novio?” “Stop being a metiche!” she yells at the ceiling. Axel tells her he really wants to be married to her, even if she wants to keep it a secret. He yells so everyone can hear that he loves her. She says that’s hardly keeping it a secret. Then she whispers to him that she’s never…you know. He says it’s his first time, too…being in love. Loudspeaker: “Señorita Delicia, stop being so difficult!”
Delicia finally kisses her handsome prince, and the shoppers all cheer.
The police are staking out the Dollhouse, like they’re going to catch anything sneaky going down when you can see police swarming like flies. Brandon tells Tejeda that Fidel’s family owns a bodega that is available for rent. It was empty, but for the last few months it’s been rented by Emanuel Ruiz y de Teresa.
Inside, Muñeca has been raving to Flora about the second honeymoon she’s been enjoying with Lowrenzo, thanks to El Lirio. She thinks he’ll change and everything will be different now. Flora diplomatically bites her tongue and says, “eh, maybe.” But Muñeca is not thrilled about the police presence. Flora says not to worry, the money is well hidden. Muñeca asks Fidel why the police suspected him. He says they’re just clueless. She says if he knew anything about El Lirio, he’d tell her, RIGHT? Fidel says he’s got to go take the medicines to the orphanage.
Brandon goes into the Dollhouse and tells Muñeca that Emanuel is the number-one suspect. He’s the only one with the skills and the access for what El Lirio has pulled off. He wants Muñeca’s help to get evidence. She’s saved by the phone…it’s Ilitia, calling from the plane to tell her about the job in Paris she’s on her way to. Brandon is of course super-interested in that. Muñeca asks him exactly what his intentions are.
Now back to the A plot: It’s time to film the condom advert. In the studio, André and Jackie are in the silky red bed surrounded by candles, and Emanuel is behind the monitors hollering for megapasión and not getting it. André insists that he’s a professional, so it doesn’t matter that he and Jackie are fighting; they’ll get the job done. Another take. No heat. Emanuel and MariVicky are getting frustrated. Jorge comes in and remarks that the actors seem tense and cold.
Emanuel and MV get up and demonstrate to André and Jackie what they want. Love. Desire. Connection. Jorge stands back, smugly stroking his chin as he watches them.
Another take. It stinks. Jorge says André and Jackie suck. Cut. Jorge offers to take over and direct this ad, no charge. Emanuel is insulted that he thinks he can do better, and says to prove it, then. Jorge takes off his jacket and says first thing, they need new models. How about you two? Emanuel and MV are horrified. No!
Of course, the next thing we know, Eman and MV are in robes, getting their makeup done. Emanuel protests that they’re not models and have no experience, and he’s really uncomfortable about writhing around nearly nekkid with his coworker. Jorge says but they’ve got the right appearance of love, passion, desire, feeling. Just do a screen test and then we’ll decide. MV looks very annoyed at Jorge.
Jorge coaches Eman and MV on the scene. Emil stands by and looks concerned. Luthes, cámera, acthión. MV strolls to the bed and climbs in next to her waiting paramour and they look uncomfortable and almost kiss. Cut. Eman thinks he needs breath spray. André supplies it, along with a smirk. Take two. They repeat the action to the same point, which is where MV decides SHE needs some breath spray. Take three. This time they go for it.
Do they ever go for it. The smooching goes on for a loooooong time. Emil comments to Jorge that they are so professional. Jorge agrees that in all his directing experience, he’s never seen such a real-looking kiss. Doris silently frets that Emanuel is going to realize it’s Mari, and she drops her powder, making a loud noise and disrupting the filming. Jorge says they’ll do another take. MV and Eman pretend to be put out by this.
Jorge convinces his models that the ad needs a good ending (?). They agree to one more take. While they’re hot and heavy again, Netty walks into the studio and loudly demands to know what’s going on. Isn’t she an actress? Doesn’t she see the cameras and the whole crew standing around?
Netty is introduced to Jorge, and she raves at length about the handsomeness and manliness of her niece’s awesome husband while Emanuel stews in jealousy. Jorge slings back the praise, so they get on like a house on fire. Emil gets Netty out of the studio by offering to show her Marianela’s wedding pictures.
Take 5…
Avances: Emanuel realizes that Victoria is Marianela.

What a fun episode last night. I was alternating laughing and cheering. S Thanks for the recap Julia - like watching it all over again.

Who knew ads were so hot? Not sure where the message was going to go on this ad, but sure would put people in the mood. Not sure what Jorge is up to, didn't seem M/V was happy at first with what he was doing. He's supposed to still be hung on her yet can watch her make out with Eman...kinda weird.

Can someone get Muneca back to planet earth? You just know she's going to just be more than heartbroken when she finds out the truth about Low. Speaking of which, man, he's got it bad for Kristel. I'm torn as to whether they would make these two father/daughter...just getting too hot between those two, and Kristel is starting to melt a bit.

Ok, the rat on Bernie's lap - nice touch. It was making me squirm, but I was cheering.

Now as for Axel wooing our sweet Delicia - in a WALMART???? Gees, guy, couldn't you work out somewhere a tad more romantic? What a story to tell your kids one day...yeah I propose somewhere between the toddler clothes and shoe section. Love her smile though as she said "no". These two are sooooo cute.
 

Well, you just KNOW the Walmart had to be a product placement. Way to go sponsors. Silly unbelievable numerito but fun to watch, nevertheless.

Julia, this was super, beginning with the title. Glad you knew it was a condom ad. I sure didn't. Emanuel "bizarrely hovering over MV as they walk like he's trying to sniff her hair"was a nifty observation. Other favorites were
"pervey commiseration"
"gnawing on his nethers" and the winner.....

"luthes, camera, acthion"

I am enjoying Jorge's cool contained snottiness (she's not YOUR gordita anymore...ouch!) but the accent just annoys the heck out of me.

Traveling mercies for your trip and prayers for better weather than we're having out here in the Midwest.
And certainly hope you're not going to Chicago!
 

Julia-

There was no need for a disclaimer this this was both a funny and complete recap. Many thanks, and safe travels!

I loved the Walmart proposal and Delicia's sly "no". The whole thing was hilarious and sweet. Not sure how they are going to pull it off with her still being a servant in his evil mother's house, him not having a job, and neither one of them having thought about the future (where they will live; how they'll support themselves), but I'm willing to go along with it. :)

I'm hoping that the condom ad is just part of the ad, and that there's more stuff eventually added in about the actual product. But the reciness does fit in with those Trojan and KY ads they show late at night. What is Jorge playing at? Is he trying to test Mari's feelings? He's just playing with fire.

I'm fine with letter Muneca have one final fling with Low. It's obvious her motor has not been started and run in a while. Fidel will be there eventually to keep up her regular maintainance.
 

I meant raciness above. Sorry for all the typos.
 

"Luthes, cámera, acthión", hee! That cracked me up. I so did NOT know what the ad was about. Those writers surprised me again, I never suspected their make out session would be an ad. (OK so I'm a little slow.)

I also loved "gnawing on his nethers", both reading it and watching it. Nice touch by the director or whoever thought of it. Poor little ratones, having to crawl all over Spiderus.

This was another good episode with lots of activity. Hard to imagine that Axel's got connections down at the local Walmart but they sure set him up nicely for popping the question. Dee was adorable and I knew something was up by the way Paula was grinning so widely. I'm sure she'll help all she can since her own true love was thwarted.

Kinda weird that Jorge would throw Eman and Marvicky in bed together. I couldn't quite figure that one out except that it helped move the plot along. Judy, "cool contained snottiness" is the perfect description for him.

Thanks Julia, this was a terrific recap and didn't seem like a quickie at all. Be safe out there on your travels.
 

Vivi, just caught your last paragraph about Muneca, too funny!
 

Great Recap. The title is great once I realized the commercial was for Condoms( could not tell what they were selling, well yeah the were selling something sex but it could have been for LaPerla the bra was georgious). I would love to have Vicky/Mari's body; never had it, and the way my stomach is going out instead of in, never will. I would love to be kissing who Vicky/Mari was kissing, Wowza!

Spiderus getting some love from his furry Rat friends, priceless.

Jorge-luthes, camera, acthion-too funny a line but I swear if I heard him say "acthion" one more time... it almost sounded like he has a really bad lisp.

This TN is getting into high gear, cannot wait for the fun coming along
 

Very funny, Julia. I admit to being baffled by your title... and I knew that it was a condom commercial... Duh!

Loved the rats sharing Bernie's lap. Those guys always seem to have work. They were in Gancho, Corazón Salvaje, and I think they had a scene in Dinero as well.

Delicia and Axel were so cute in the supermarket. Maybe it wasn't a terribly romantic setting but I give Axel points for originality and cleverness.

Carlos
 

Carlos Gascon (Jorge) really is Spanish. So the accent is legit - luthes, luthes, acthion! Personally, I'm happy to hear it just to know what a Spaniard really sounds like rather than Vicky and Gretel pretending to be Spanish. Maybe he is exaggerating his own accent a bit?

Learned a new word in this one - "majo" (pretty, nice looking) - you have to google it to get the full cultural history - try wikipedia.

Somehow, my husband knew right away that Eman and Vicky were going to end up replacing the models. His novela-sense is even stronger than mine!

Great recap Julie - and you were rushed? You still covered all the bases.

So do you really think Eman will be convinced that it's Mari in the next episode? I know he was thinking to himself that only Mari felt and kissed like this (good for Eman for "recognizing" Mari where it counts!!!). Still - it seems early for him to really figure it out and I wonder if the avances are fooling us again.

Audrey
 

Julia thanks for the recap and there was no need to apologize since you covered everything. Your title was a nice touch too.

I'm with Carlos in giving Alex points for originality particularly since he had to go to Dee. The party seems to have taken some of her spunk.

The producers are letting Low and Kristel get way too close for them to be related aren't they?

Loved the rats on Bernie!!
 

Carlo, I love your shout-out to our furry little creatures. Images of a little rat gang showing up to work with sun glasses and scripts starting going into my head. wonder if they have their own Actor's Union?
 

daisynjay,

I wonder if Fedra, Bernardo, Lorenzo, and Mauricio are members.

Carlos
 

Loved the recap Julia. If Jorge was testing Eman and MariVictoria to see if they still have feelings for each other it worked. All he did was fan to flames from a a few sparks to a raging inferno. The kisses were mighty hot though. Whew. I'm glad that Eman could recognized Mari's touch and kiss. That's a start.

The Delicia/Axel scenes in the supermarket were adorable. He wants to marry her forget about being novios LOL.

The Lo/Kristel scenes kind of grossed me out with the thought in my mind that they could be father and daughter. I hope that's not the case since they shared a kiss.
 

Hello,

Thank you all for your recaps. I have class Monday and Tuesday and miss those episodes as a result, so the well-written recaps help a lot. Does anybody know whether there's a site that streams the episodes online? I tired HuluPlus but they do not stream "Llena de Amor" (I have a converter box on my TV, and as far as I know, while converter boxes and VCRs can be used together for live taping, they cannot be programmed via VCR timer.) I hope all this skipping through the captions improves enough to provide recaps one day. I caught this telenovela in the middle and I was able to be bridge the dearth of substance in esmas.com's 100-word recaps by reading the old Caray, Caray! recaps (amazingly, I believe only about five episodes were missed). Thanks again!
 

@Anonymous...you can watch missed chapters on noseq.com. Monday's episode was 124, this one, 125.
 

Welcome anon 2:07! It’s wonderful to hear that the recaps are doing their job, helping people catch up. Please join us in commenting if you’d like, it’s always fun to hear everyone’s opinions.

And Julia, this recap was terrific and funny. I can’t believe you did it on the fly. And I can’t believe you understood all that stuff- were your captions okay? Here in L.A. they were just a disaster. I didn’t understand the Lorenzo/Kristel scene, so thank goodness you clarified that for me. Also, I didn’t realize that was a condom commercial, and I knew they were too young for Viagra. You solved that puzzle for me too! Whew!

Daisy – I was wierded out by supposedly love-struck Jorge promoting Vicky and Eman doing a love scene together too.
 

Here the captions were terrible for the first 15 min., but were very good after the first commercial. Up until yesterday, they had been pretty good here. I was under the impression that we all had the same CCs, but apparently that is not the case.

Welcome anon.

Carlos
 

Well, drat, Carlos! I was hoping we'd all get improved captions after your mighty deeds with your station. The one from last night that sticks in my mind is "quiere casarse conmigo" captioned "qusesar." It was like that all through the show..
 

Julia, Thanks for the recap. It really was a fun episode last night
 

I didn't know it was a condom ad either. Wonder what Jorge was thinking of putting Emanuel and Marianela in bed kissing each other. That was beanie time. Last night's episode for our prime couple can be boiled down into two terms: testosterone brain and estrogen overload. If they had been alone, I wonder what would have happened. They weren't being professional; they were being hot for each other. Wow!
 

Hi BarbaraM, I've missed you lately. How good to hear from you.

Carlos
