Llena de Amor #151 (Mex. 164-165) Thu 3/17/11 Everyone is green...with envy
I'd like to thank Audrey again for filling in for me while I was out of town. Audrey, you rock!
Yikes, these double episodes are time consuming. I got halfway through Episode 164 and realized I would have to shorten things up or I would be here all night and you all would start to nap while reading the recap. Please let me know if I've left out anything important.
Happy Saint Paddy’s day, I invite you to join me in a tall glass of Guinness, or the beverage of your choice, and enjoy the antics from tonight’s cast of crazies.
Last night we left Emanual and José María shaking hands on their new friendship, thus bringing them one step closer to discovering they are son and daddy by birth.
Capitulo 164
Eman hires José María (JM) explaining that he and Fidel both have other full time jobs and they need help managing La Buena Noche or Vida or whatever their bar is called. JM says Eman’s dad must be very proud of such an enterprising son. I sure hope JM gets to find out he’s Eman’s real dad before he dies of his terminal illness.
Netty, looking fabulous, is adored by bar patrons and telenovela viewers alike.
Over at the station Gretelman and Oliver are having a minor spat over Gman writing articles extolling the virtues of El Lirio. Oli thinks El Lirio is a delinquent. Gman mollifies Oli’s over inflated sense of justice with a whiskery kiss and Oli pretends to cough up a hairball in mock protest.
This entire scene was edited out, such a shame.
They are interrupted by Kristel, followed by Brandon, who is freaking out (freakeando she says) and demands police protection 24/7 because the rapey snake is on the loose. She wraps Brandon’s arms around herself to demonstrate just how closely her body should be watched.
Next up is an unpleasant little scene where Eman arrives home just wanting some shut-eye, but nooooooo. First he is intercepted by Ilitia who has been waiting up for him. His next torture is the arrival of the snotty Spaniards with bossy bitch Vicky announcing that from now on Eman is out of Jorge’s room (a little yippee from Eman) and back with his wife (a little frown from Eman). (Vicky and Jorrible make the perfect couple; too bad she doesn’t love him so she can make his life miserable.) Jorge snippily adds that Eman can move out if he doesn’t like this arrangement. Eman says he’s not going anywhere until Marianela herself tells him to leave.
Ilitia’s smug smirk disappears with the arrival of Kristel flanked by her two favorite super cops. Brandon and Oli explain they are there to protect all the ladies from Orangey. Eman’s slightly confused as to why Ilitia would need protection. “She’s pregnant” explains Brandon. We will all soon weary of the constant mention of Ilitia’s pregnancy, trust me. Kristel derails the conversation and annoys Ilitia by slithering all over Brandon.
Things are more pleasant over at Netty’s where Gladioli is Que bárbara-ing all over the place and extolling Netty’s great talent. (She uses usted; aren’t they better friends than that?) Gladi says Eman has a heart of gold for hiring a guy who has been in jail for so many years. Oops, Netty reminds her to keep her mouth shut because they are the only ones who know this. Gladi promises her lips are sealed. (Anvil anyone?)
OMG, Netty’s doorbell rings. Who knew she had a doorbell? I thought people just walked in. Anyway, its sexy-voiced Emiliano whose “Can we talk?” is practically foreplay. Netty, fanning herself, would agree.
Fedra comes home to Misery Manor and is irritated to find the place overrun by cops. She is even more irritated when Brandon explains it’s because Orangey escaped. She punches him and shrieks they are not the policía, they are the porquería (worthless)!
It’s gonna be a busy night for Brandon. After Fedra exits he’s joined by Eman who announces Vicky doesn’t need Brandon’s protection because he, Eman, will protect her. Brandon advises Eman to take care of his own pregnant wife and he, Brandon, will take care of Vicky. After a bit more chest thumping Eman heads indoors but oopsy, looks like he dropped something on the ground. Brandon picks up a shiny Lirio de Plata!
Eman, king of smart-alecks, says there are a bunch of these silver goodies floating around and he has it because he idolizes El Lirio de Plata.
Brandon asks does Eman just idolize El Lirio or is El Lirio Eman’s alter ego, eh? He advises Eman that the truth will surface and he plans to be Eman’s shadow.
Inside, Fedra amuses herself by boozing it up and watching Vicky and Ilitia bicker. She sends Ilitia, in her pregnant condition, upstairs to bed. Vicky tells Fedra she’s not going to get away with insulting her because her past will soon come back to haunt her. She shocks Fedra by saying she met Chema; Fedra demands to know what he told Vicky.
Fedra accuses Vicky of having her own secrets and threatens to out her. Vicky reminds Fedra that Jorrible snatched the prints and Fedra has no proof. She’s told Fedra a thousand times, she is Victoria de la Gartha! Do we think this will stop our Fedra? Not a chance; she’s determined to expose Vicky’s deception.
Stupid Vicky heads to the kitchen to calm her nerves. She loudly calls herself Marianela while she rifles the cupboards for CHOCOLATE. Must have CHOCOLATE, it’s the only thing that calms her down. Fedra rushes in with a “Gotcha! La Gorda always used chocolate to calm her nerves.” Vicky tries the “how could we be the same person” ploy but Fedra just snickers “you were fat and now you’re skinny”. She threatens Vicky with a knife and demands a confession.
Emiliano whinges a bit about being a rotten dad so that he can get a soothing kiss out of Netty. In walks Jose Maria with a “Well well, the husband of Fedra is kissing my landlady”. Emiliano gets all huffy and defends Netty’s honor saying he loves her deeply, but Jose Maria says her honor doesn’t need defending. Then he casually lets drop that he kissed Netty. Cara impactada de Emiliano.
Vicky stomps on Fedra’s foot and Fedra yells that she has the same stompy foot as Mari! Fedra keeps trying to trick Vicky into admitting she’s Mari and suggests that she should watch her back because Jorge’s out for her money. Mari’s money you mean, corrects Vicky, blah blah blah they threaten each other ad nauseum. Fedra keeps calling her Marranela which is pretty funny (marrana = sow).
Emiliano, annoyed by Jose Maria’s chivalry, tells Netty what she does is his business because he is crazy in love with her. She reminds him that she’s waited for him for years and begged him to leave his witch of a wife but she ends up telling him she is his completely. Big kiss.
Gretel (dressed as Gretel) joins them and says she loves seeing them like this. Group hug as Emiliano thanks Netty for being like a mother to his kids. He wants to talk wedding with Gretel’s novio but she tells them thanks to the escape of rapey snake he is standing guard at Misery Manor.
Angela is at La Buena Vida reading cards for Fidel and Benigno. She says the cards don’t lie, Eman is El Lirio de Plata. Angie, do the cards also tell you to keep your voice down? Beni blathers on about Eman having a good heart ever since he was a kid but he sure has been unlucky in love. Angie says tonight will be different. It’s a night for lovers but tonight the pairings will be tangled and confused. Doesn’t sound different from any other night to me but we’ll have to trust the psychic.
Vicky whines to Jorrible that Fedra knows she’s Mari, but how? (Don’t get me started, don’t even get me started.) She also mentions that Fedra accused him of going after her inheritance. Jorrible suavely slithers around that one and assures her he loves nothing more than helping her out.
Brandon interrupts and wants to talk to Vicky alone. Jorrible smugly departs and Brandon observes “I don’t trust that guy”. Vicky laughs and says he’ll never change. Rocks-for-brains Brandon keeps calling her Marianela.
Vicky hugs Brandon in thanks for his protection as Eman observes from the stairs above.
Kristel is in her room freshly made up, sporting a negligee and admiring her bodacious ta-tas in the mirror. She positions herself on the bed and cries “Help! Auxilio! Help!”. Oliver bursts through the door, gun drawn, and tells her he doesn’t like her little games.
She dedicates herself to finding out what exactly he does like.
Lorenzo sits alone agonizing over the thought that Kristel might have sprung from his loins. He damns Fedra and says starting now, thanks to her, his luck is going to change. He calls someone named Santos and tells him to find out all financial information pertaining to Juana Felipa Perez, everything, especially the most hidden, and he wants it by tomorrow.
Fedra’s hanging out (pun intended) outside the Manor, in her cups (pun intended), slurring to Bernardo that she’ll never forgive his perfidy in saving Jose Maria’s life. She will never trust him again, ever, slosh slurp. He confirms that he will protect Jose Maria’s life with his own if need be. (Foreshadowing?)
Meanwhile Kristel is upstairs entrapping her super polis. She locks the door, drops the key down her cleavage, and tells Oli he can leave any time; all he has to do is unlock the door. Poor Oli tells her to stop the game, last time he was with her it caused a huge fight with Gretel and he wants O-U-T now.
Vicky tells Eman to quite whining about her hugging Brandon, she’s a free woman. He disagrees, she’s HIS woman. Wrong, pregnant Ilitia is his woman. Wrong, Vicky is his woman and he proves it by laying a big yummy kiss on her.
Upstairs Kristel continues to chase Oli around the room, putting her octopus hands all over him, kissing him and trying to take his clothes off. I believe she accomplishes this by getting a death grip on his huevos.
Ice Queen Vicky pushes hot, panting Eman away and tells him to go to his pregnant wife’s room where he belongs. Ooh, cold!
Bernardo asks Fedra to leave Jose Maria alone. He’s sick, a condemned man and should be able to live out his last days in peace. He should know he has a son. “Never!” she insists.
Eman tries to sneak a pillow and blanket out of his room so he can sleep somewhere else but Ilitia catches him and drops her robe, displaying her naked loveliness to Eman who is still vulnerably hot and bothered by Vicky’s rejection. It’s her turn to lay a big yummy one on him.
A few doors down Vicky paces in her room and calls herself weak and stupid. No argument here. Brandon hears her crashing vases and runs in to comfort her. She whines that it’s all her fault that she’s lost Eman forever. Brandon tells her he, too, knows what it’s like to love the unattainable.
A few more doors down Kristel has covered Oliver with lipstick marks and uh oh, there is a knock at the door. Its daddy and Gretel! Panic time.
Capitulo 165
Kristel makes Oliver retrieve the key from you-know-where.
Meanwhile, outside the door Gretel is freaking (or freakeando as Kristel would say) because she’s worried about Oli’s virtue. Nereida tips her off that Kristel’s lovers always exit via the window so off Gretel dashes.
Ilitia is still naked and still trying to persuade Eman to do the hootchy kootchy with her. Amazingly, he is able to resist and he re-robes her. She says he needs to sleep somewhere so he should just share the bed with her but they won’t do anything. Now people, I ask you, did you ever believe that line? No, I didn’t either.
Vicky is curious about Brandon’s unrequited love. Anyone she knows? Uh, just someone he met, it’s not worth mentioning. It’s Consuelo, right? Uh, yeah sure. He reasons that since they are both solo they can start a new life together, one nail drives out the other (we know this dicho so I won’t repeat it in vocab). Vicky tells him he’s a great guy and they hug just as Eman walks in.
As predicted Kristel’s got Oli on the balcony and is showing him the way out, or down to be specific. He takes a leap, drops and rolls, and fares better than his predecessors. “Nothing happened!” he exclaims in delight as he feels for broken bones. Nothing except the mighty slap to the face that Gretel gives him.
In fact she slaps him a few more times (yikes, enough with the physical abuse), points out he’s got lipstick all over his face and shirt, and ends up pushing him into the pool. That was an ugly scene. Let’s move on.
Back in the bedroom Eman and Brandon try to out-sneer each other. Vicky is again with the “I’m a free woman without commitments” and she and Brandon tell him to run back to his own room and wife. Just then Ilitia bounces in and wants to know what Brandon is doing with that woman? Jorge slithers in and says he wants to know too!
Ilitia tells them to get a hotel and Eman pipes up that they were on the verge of kissing. Gasps all around. Brandon informs them that if he and Vicky want to bump cars it’s their business. Ilitia wonders what Eman is doing there this time of night when he should be in bed and this elicits ribbing from the others. They finally disperse but sinister Jorge stays behind to let Vicky know he’s all hurt because she turned to Brandon instead of him.
Gretel returns to Kristel’s room and tells dad that she wants to talk to sis alone. She demands to know what happened with Oliver. “Who’s Oliver?” Kristel tries. Nope, doesn’t work. Gretel keeps pressing until Kristel lies that she and the bored super cop had wild and crazy sex. She earns a slap for her lie and next thing they are on Kristel’s bed, with Gretel astride her, strangling Kristel and crying that Oliver is the love of her life.
Kristel manages to push Gretel off but Gretel chases her, says she’s like her mother, and starts strangling her again. Gretel has a flashback of when Fedra was strangling Luis Felipe which freaks her out. She runs from the room and smack dab into Axel where she weeps to him that she caught Oliver with Kristel. She’ll never forgive him and doesn’t want to see him ever again boo hoo.
Bernardo, having a moral crisis, sits alone and reflects to himself about how his life has turned out without the guidance of his capitan. Nereida interrupts his thoughts and spitefully comments that she wants to stop Delicia's wedding. Bernardo forbids it but Nereida spills the beans to Fedra that Axel and Delicia plan to get married at Netty’s place tomorrow. Fedra swears that will never happen.
The next morning at the country club Lowrenzo meets with his private investigator Santos who reports that a Juana Felipa Perez Fernandez has three accounts, two in Mexico and one in the Cayman Islands. Santos adds that Juana Felipa also owns a club called La Mala Noche where the famous La Reina dances; she’s notorious for driving the men crazy. Lowrenzo reviews the records and gleefully notes the lady is loaded. This will be his best business venture yet.
Brandon finds Ilitia in the kitchen and they bicker jealously about the night before when he was in Vicky’s room. He mentions Acapulco, they used protection, so there’s no chance the baby is his, right? He says something that causes Ilitia to throw a glass of water in his face. He grabs her, she yells “let me go!” and Eman comes into the kitchen and wonders what’s up between them.
Speak of the queen of Rome, Fedra arrives, apparently at Lowrenzo’s request. She’s starting early today, pulls out a flask and adds a splash to her coffee. He tells her he was up all night thinking about Juana Felipa, Jose Maria Sevilla, and how she could have kept the news about Kristel hidden for all this years and then allow things to go so far. She hopes he was tormented because he deserves it.
Back at Misery Manor Eman is all up in Brandon’s face for bothering Ilitia. Brandon says hey she threw a glass of cold water at me. Eman wants to know why they always end up fighting but before his rusty cogs and sprockets have a chance to work Ilitia feigns dizziness. Eman wants to fire Brandon but Vicky arrives and asks Brandon to accompany her to work. Eman and Ilitia might look purple but they are seeing green.
Axel and Delicia happily plan their wedding for tomorrow. A nice lady in a white uniform meets them and I gather that Axel is treating Delicia to a day at the spa. After Delicia goes inside one of Axel’s creepy (but studly) “friends” approaches him and rags on him about marrying a servant. Jerk.
Lowrenzo wants Fedra to tell him about Jose Maria Sevilla. Did she love him? Yes she was crazy in love but that’s over. She was only 15 years old and thought he sank in the ocean. The thing that they (she and Low) have is different. They are like a couple of scorpions. She goes on to describe that Jose Maria was always so high and mighty but he was an excellent thief. Now he’s returned after 27 years to torment her. Low tells her that she can count on him unconditionally. She eyes him suspiciously.
There is a great scene between Fedra and Lowrenzo that got edited out. They admit they have the hots for each other but they also can’t resist trying to sabotage each other. Lorenzo raises his hand and tells Fedra that one of his men has a gun aimed at her and when he drops his hand he’ll shoot her, pow. Fedra raises her hand and says she also has a man with a gun pointed at Low’s head. They threaten each other until their arms are so tired from being raised that Low has to hold his arm up.
Fedra finally leaves, backing out with her arm raised. Everyone at the club stares at them wondering why the two nut jobs have their arms raised.
Axel defends Delicia but after he walks away his creepy friend says something threatening that I didn’t understand.
Eman and Ilitia go in for an ultrasound. Eman is very excited to see the blood of his blood on the screen. Ilitia observes him with tears in her eyes, she never thought he’d be this excited.
The nice spa lady tells Delicia to disrobe (cute pink bikini underneath) and relax on the massage table. Creepy friend comes up behind and attacks her. Luckily another patron sees this and demands to know what’s going on. Unluckily that patron is Fedra.
Ilitia’s meets with her doc and the doctor tells her that she is 5 weeks pregnant. No way, Ilitia says she’s 2 weeks pregnant. Nope, doc is absolutely sure that it’s 5 weeks. Ilitia has a flashback to that night in the country when she and Brandon made love under the stars. No way!!
So was Angela right? There was no actual loving but the pairings, such as they were, were definitely tangled and confused.
Tomorrow: Fedra enlists the aid of Axel's creepy friend and sabotages Axel’s wedding with a trite telenovela ruse that works every time.
Calladita te ves mas bonita – Keep it under your hat. Keep your mouth shut. Silence is golden. (Lit. Stay silent and look prettier) – what Netty told Gladi about Jose Maria’s secret
Encargarse – to take care of, to be in charge of
Manos de pulpo – octopus hands (what Oliver said Kristel has)
Marrano/a – swine/sow
No confío en ese tipo – I don’t trust that guy
Porquería – worthless (also means nastiness, filth, dirty)
¡Que bárbara! – How awesome! Cool! Wonderful!
Soy una tumba – My lips are sealed (Lit. I’m a tomb)
Yikes, these double episodes are time consuming. I got halfway through Episode 164 and realized I would have to shorten things up or I would be here all night and you all would start to nap while reading the recap. Please let me know if I've left out anything important.

Nereida interrupts his thoughts and spitefully comments that she wants to stop Delicia's wedding. Bernardo forbids it but Nereida spills the beans to Fedra that Axel and Delicia plan to get married at Netty’s place tomorrow. Fedra swears that will never happen.
The next morning at the country club Lowrenzo meets with his private investigator Santos who reports that a Juana Felipa Perez Fernandez has three accounts, two in Mexico and one in the Cayman Islands. Santos adds that Juana Felipa also owns a club called La Mala Noche where the famous La Reina dances; she’s notorious for driving the men crazy. Lowrenzo reviews the records and gleefully notes the lady is loaded. This will be his best business venture yet.
Brandon finds Ilitia in the kitchen and they bicker jealously about the night before when he was in Vicky’s room. He mentions Acapulco, they used protection, so there’s no chance the baby is his, right? He says something that causes Ilitia to throw a glass of water in his face. He grabs her, she yells “let me go!” and Eman comes into the kitchen and wonders what’s up between them.
Speak of the queen of Rome, Fedra arrives, apparently at Lowrenzo’s request. She’s starting early today, pulls out a flask and adds a splash to her coffee. He tells her he was up all night thinking about Juana Felipa, Jose Maria Sevilla, and how she could have kept the news about Kristel hidden for all this years and then allow things to go so far. She hopes he was tormented because he deserves it.
Back at Misery Manor Eman is all up in Brandon’s face for bothering Ilitia. Brandon says hey she threw a glass of cold water at me. Eman wants to know why they always end up fighting but before his rusty cogs and sprockets have a chance to work Ilitia feigns dizziness. Eman wants to fire Brandon but Vicky arrives and asks Brandon to accompany her to work. Eman and Ilitia might look purple but they are seeing green.
Axel and Delicia happily plan their wedding for tomorrow. A nice lady in a white uniform meets them and I gather that Axel is treating Delicia to a day at the spa. After Delicia goes inside one of Axel’s creepy (but studly) “friends” approaches him and rags on him about marrying a servant. Jerk.
Lowrenzo wants Fedra to tell him about Jose Maria Sevilla. Did she love him? Yes she was crazy in love but that’s over. She was only 15 years old and thought he sank in the ocean. The thing that they (she and Low) have is different. They are like a couple of scorpions. She goes on to describe that Jose Maria was always so high and mighty but he was an excellent thief. Now he’s returned after 27 years to torment her. Low tells her that she can count on him unconditionally. She eyes him suspiciously.
There is a great scene between Fedra and Lowrenzo that got edited out. They admit they have the hots for each other but they also can’t resist trying to sabotage each other. Lorenzo raises his hand and tells Fedra that one of his men has a gun aimed at her and when he drops his hand he’ll shoot her, pow. Fedra raises her hand and says she also has a man with a gun pointed at Low’s head. They threaten each other until their arms are so tired from being raised that Low has to hold his arm up.
Fedra finally leaves, backing out with her arm raised. Everyone at the club stares at them wondering why the two nut jobs have their arms raised.
Axel defends Delicia but after he walks away his creepy friend says something threatening that I didn’t understand.
Eman and Ilitia go in for an ultrasound. Eman is very excited to see the blood of his blood on the screen. Ilitia observes him with tears in her eyes, she never thought he’d be this excited.
The nice spa lady tells Delicia to disrobe (cute pink bikini underneath) and relax on the massage table. Creepy friend comes up behind and attacks her. Luckily another patron sees this and demands to know what’s going on. Unluckily that patron is Fedra.
Ilitia’s meets with her doc and the doctor tells her that she is 5 weeks pregnant. No way, Ilitia says she’s 2 weeks pregnant. Nope, doc is absolutely sure that it’s 5 weeks. Ilitia has a flashback to that night in the country when she and Brandon made love under the stars. No way!!
So was Angela right? There was no actual loving but the pairings, such as they were, were definitely tangled and confused.
Tomorrow: Fedra enlists the aid of Axel's creepy friend and sabotages Axel’s wedding with a trite telenovela ruse that works every time.
Calladita te ves mas bonita – Keep it under your hat. Keep your mouth shut. Silence is golden. (Lit. Stay silent and look prettier) – what Netty told Gladi about Jose Maria’s secret
Encargarse – to take care of, to be in charge of

Marrano/a – swine/sow
No confío en ese tipo – I don’t trust that guy

I have decided that there is so much missing from watching the Uni version of the show, I just go online at the same time the show runs and watch the episodes on Daily M. It's appalling the great stuff that gets cut out. No awards for the editor doing the hack job on this TN.
I agree the scene with Fedra and Low and their 'men with guns" was a hoot. One of those scenes where these two shine. Loved when Fedra, with arm still raised for her said gunner, still takes her last sip of coffee. So Fedra.
I love those little touches that some of the better actors throw in. Seems Uni's editors - not so much. Scrooges.
So now Gretel is in hate-Oliver mode. Now I'm just aggravated with her. Here's a guy who has repeatedly put his life on the line for you, and your sister who has pulled every trick in the book in the past, and you still go there thinking he has the hots for Kristel. C'mon. Stupid writer trick.
And Sylvia, I'm right there with you that as she is right now, MV and Jorge really do look like the perfect couple. I almost freaked thinking Brandon was going to reach in for a kiss and get all mushy over MV again. Guys, she's not that special!!!
And the whole ultra-sound scene? Seriously? Someone please tell me what OB does an ultra sound at such an early stage unless they suspect something. usually the first is at 7 weeks at the earliest, usually much further along. Again, writers had to figure out someway I guess to get Ilitia to realize the baby isn't Eman's.
Happy Friday all. My other son is heading home for spring break, yeah! But that also means a weekend of having March Madness running non-stop on the TV...as long as he lets me watch Purdue I'm good. Go Boilermakers!!

Welcome back Sylvia! You were truly missed...
What a wonderful way to start the day! Celebraing Friday with an amazing recap. The first and hardest decision I had to make today was which of your pictures was my favorite. Have to give the slight edge to the beautiful Laura Flores who looked amazing in that red dress. The vocabulary was spectacular.
"Practically foreplay", "Rocks for brains Brandon", "death grip on his huevos" were only a few lines that had me laughing out loud. Thank you for providing details on all the deleted scenes we missed.
One of my favorite moments was Eman making childish hand gestures behind Jorrible's back. Lanus has an endearing man/child quality and overall, I find him toally charming.
Looks like all of our favorite couples are or will be torn asunder. Gretel is keenly aware of who and what Kristel is. Conversely, she also knows who Oliver is - dedicated, loyal and loving. Agree with you totally daisy, she should have been able to put two and two together.
Am seething over Fedra's plan for Dee. Blech...
One of the few bright spots was hearing Emiliano's dulcet tones. That voice!
Enjoying the Fedra/Low love/hate bickering. It would be poetic justice if they were to meet their ultimate demise at each other's hands.
Thanks again Sylia!
Happy Friday all...
Diana

Clever title linking up everyone's jealousy with St. Patrick's Day, Sylvia.
Like Diana, loved your quip that Emiliano's husky, smokey voice was "practically like foreplay". You bet it is!
And "Fedra is hanging out (no pun intended). You rascal!
I think Brandon's remark to Ilitia that got him doused was that she was "muy mala cama" (really awful in bed). Didn't mean it of course, but since he was getting dissed....
I think Bernardo is on his way to redemption. He pleads with Fedra to let Chema know he has a son, and also, in a scene edited out, tried to talk her out of sabotaging Axel and Delicia's wedding. I think he will die redeemed. (not a spoiler...just a guess)
I'm livid that they edited out the raised arms/dual snipers Lorenzo-Fedra scene. That was just hysterically funny. Univision is driving us to the internet, thanks to their butchery.
Sylvia...your photos were absolutely perfect. You caught each scene at it's more delicious moment. Thank you. Your recap was pure perfection.

Sylvia, Thanks for the recap and adding parts that are being cut out. I am pretty much just reading the recaps now, so I appriciate all the detail and great pictures.

Great job Sylvia. Very funny stuff as well as very complete. I missed you while you were away, but Audrey did a marvelous job of filling in for you... as you know.
Thanks so much for filling in those gaping holes that the seemingly haphazard editing left. Clearly I'm going to have to follow in the footsteps begun by Audrey and handled so well by Maggie, Julia, Judy, and now you and find a way to plug the gaps tonight. I would have much preferred 2 hr. episodes to this.
I had to see that stand off between Fedra and Lorenzo for myself. Hilarious. How in the world could they have edited that out?
"Fedra keeps calling her Marranela which is pretty funny (marrana = sow)."
Brilliant.
I'm so disappointed that they didn't show more of Netty last night. She was stunning in that outfit. Thanks for the photo.

Thanks y'all. I was absolutely irate at some of the scenes that got cut out. Grrrrr!
@Judy - I thought that Brandon had told Ilitia she was bad in bed but I wasn't 100% sure. Somehow it didn't make sense but I guess in the sense that she couldn't tell Eman why she threw water him it does. Also, you are absolutely correct that Bernardo is having a moral crisis about his life. I just added a small sentence about that to the recap because, in retrospect, I think it's important.
@Diana - I love your idea that Fedra and Low should meet their ultimate demise at each others' hands! It almost happened last night, didn't it? I tried to add a picture of Eman's gestures over Jorrible's head but I couldn't capture a good one.
@Daisy - ITA about Gretel not trusting Oliver. Not very believable seeing as how she supposedly knows her sister so well. I was a little taken aback at the violence of her reactions but I remind myself...telenovela.
@Carlos - You are very welcome for the picture of Netty. I had you specifically in mind when I selected it.
@Pata - I'm glad you are enjoying the complete recaps and pics. This telenovela deserves a much better end than stupid Univision is giving it. By the way, I haven't heard word one about the complaint I posted earlier this week, hmmmph!

By the way, I just sent a comment on the Televisa website complaining about Uni's hack job. Just wanted to let them know that hundreds if not thousands of fans are pretty irate at what they are doing to Llena which deserves a better end. I went to Televisa, selected the english language option, then "contact us" and sent a message. Unlike Uni they don't limit your message so you can send more than a sentence or two. I doubt it will do any good but Televisa should know what rotten things their associates are doing to their shows.
Thanks Sylvia for the recap and also adding the deleted scenes. I am too disgusted at Uni for their buthcer job on this novela. I would have loved to have seen the "arms raised" scene. From the recap and the pics provided, it was hilarious. That reminds me of a time when I was in bootcamp in the Navy that the instructor told us that if anyone picked their nose during class we would have to spend the rest of the class with our arms raised. Sure enough, someone picked their nose and for the duration of the class we had to have our arms raised. It wasn't funny at the time but now looking back on it I do chuckle.
Did anyone notice during the scene when Jorge was leaning against the banister of the stairs with his arms folded, Eman was standing beside him with his hand behind Jorge's head making gestures. I was crying. That looked like an unscripted moment and VL was hysterical.
I think Gretel is being too harsh with Oliver and what's up with all the physical violence with the punches slaps. If that was supposed to be funny I'm not laughing.
So Ilitia is five weeks pregnant. The baby is definitely Brandon's.

Okay, I'm giving up on trying to watch this show on Univision. They're leaving too much out. To the web it is. Did you catch that, Uni? Your antics are losing you viewers.
Thanks for the splendid recap, Sylvia. I like how you pointed out that the bossy bitchy snotty Spaniards are perfect for each other. They really are. No one else should be subjected to them. Everyone who doesn't know that Vic is really Marianela should suspect them of being imposters. It makes no sense that anyone would accept Vicky showing up with a letter saying she's Mari's representative and not insist on talking to Marianela.
Gretel's getting really annoying. Surely she can't be that obtuse. I think she just likes fighting and making up afterward. It's not a lot of fun to watch anymore, though. Kristel is way more entertaining, especially when she's freakeando.
Alfredo is definitely NOT Axel's friend. They've always hated each other. Alfredo is the one who picked the fight with Axel that got him thrown out of the university. Last time we saw him, he was forging paperwork for Mauricio's bootleg booze biz.

I think we need to contact the advertisers, they are the ones paying Uni to show this tripe. I think I will join the others on DailyMotion.
Thanks.

Sylvia, I just love your style. This was outstanding, with laugh-out-loud bits. I can’t believe the important scenes that were cut. I had no idea who that vaguely-familiar guy was who was attacking Delicia, and I thought it was at the big house. Sheesh. Also, the scene with Bernardo being reflective was very important.. why did they leave that out?
That prop knife that Fedra was menacing Vicky with was a hoot – it was about a quarter of an inch thick and super blunt.

Since I'm recapping tonight I spent the morning searching through old recaps looking for Axel's creepy friend's name...Alfredo! ...then I come back to read the rest of the comments and there it is... courtesy of Julia... Alfredo! Julia, I'll bet you just reached in and picked right out of your memory bank. I'm afraid it's gonna be a long night.

Glad to have you back, Sylvia. All you recappers, including Audrey! - are doing such a wonderful job, no thanks to Univision. You all let us in on the necessary scenes that are being cut. (Probably with Fedra's huge dull knife!)
At the end of the show each evening I'm SO confused. Thanks to all of you for 'splaining. No pressure, Carlos...

Julia, thanks for reminding us of Alfredo's name. I recognized him but I had forgotten who he was. Selective memory on my part no doubt. So he's the scuzz who got Axel kicked out of school and he was (or is) working for Malicio? Maybe he will get offed in the crossfire or something.
Maggie, wasn't that prop knife a scream? I didn't even think it was a knife at first, I thought maybe it was an abalone iron or some sort of kitchen implement.
Pirate Babe, that is a hilarious story about your boot camp! Thank you for sharing it, really made me laugh out loud. In fact I'm still laughing. I hope the dope who picked their nose realizes from that point onward that is how every person in the entire class will remember them. Forever.

Hey Emilia, glad to hear that the full-length recaps are coming in handy. I like your theory that they are editing with Fedra's big dull knife. Sheesh, I think they must just cover their eyes and hack chunks off the big dopes.
I did happen to remember Alfredo. I thought he was going to have a bigger role in this show. He's one of the oxygen-wasters who hangs out at the club...the one Mauricio gave a motorcycle to as a reward for dancing with/harassing Marianela when she wore the pumpkin costume to the party. Speaking of useless club kids, I wonder what happened to Fabiola. She left town and never came back. I guess she was smarter than she looked.
Hi all! I just came to see how you were all enjoying the show. I'm sorry Univision decided to cut the episodes of Llena, I've never seen anything simmilar. At the most, Televisa sometimes shows the abridged DVD versions of its old novelas (that everybody has seen at least three times) on tv in the mornings but to play with one story that is being shown for the first time, that's a whole other thing.
You guys are all doing a fabulous job recapping the two episodes. And I continue to love the little notes at the end with the dichos and translations that are such a characteristic of this group.
I think there are still many episodes to go before the finale, hopefully Univision will stop the madness.
I was reminded of the old Gancho line last week when Laisha Wilkins and Gabriel Soto went to HOY to promote a new novela called La Fuerza del Destino. Raúl Araiza is one of the show's presenters and he conducted the interview. By the way, he calls her "Laishita" which I think it's cute since I've never ever heard anyone else call her that.

Jarocha – it’s wonderful to have you stop by. I’m glad to hear they’ve never cut a show like they’re doing ours, and I sure hope they never do it again. What a rip!
Julia – your memory is astonishing!
Julia – your memory is astonishing!
@Sylvia what was bad about it was that we couldn't lower our arms if we began to get tired. This was an hour class and we were just fifteen minutes into it when the offender picked their nose. Some were crying because of the strain. I was too mad to cry. It's funny now when I think about it.

Hi Jarocha, it's good to hear from you. We've missed your input. Yes, I'm really hoping they don't continue compressing the episodes until this is finished. Surely we're not the only ones to notice or complain. Maybe tonight they'll show us one complete episode. Yeah... I know... and pigs...
By the way, have you seen any of India? It is really a treat.

I haven't seen it Carlos. I know they are showing it in one of Televisa's channels but so far the one tv I got (only a few weeks ago) only catches about 4 channels. I'm living in DF now.
I heard Angelli Nesma is working on her next novela right now,she has alot of time to prepare it. I saw her in the TVyNovelas awards and she looked very pretty and happy. She is one of the nicest producers Televisa has along with Larrosa and Mapat, they are always gentle and approachable.

Jarocha, I'm so glad you stopped by! I have a very important question to ask you (and anyone else who might know), food related of course. Last week I was visiting friends who live on their boat and are cruising around the world. They were in the Puerto Vallarta area. One night my friend pulled out a package of Chicharron Prensado. She thought she had bought something else and I told her I thought it meant pressed pig skin which we confirmed when we tasted it. We made some yummy tostadas out of it, refried black beans on tostadas, topped with the chicharron prensado fried up crisp, then topped with fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, avocado and queso anejo. I looked it up when I got home and sure enough that's what it is but I couldn't find a lot of recipes that use it. Have you heard of it? Do you know how it's commonly prepared? Her husband is Danish and he loves pig skin and fat; he said "I love this meat" which cracked us all up.
Sylvia- Sorry to be chiming in so late. I loved the recap and loved the pics. The one with Eman and Ilitia in purple cracks me up. I think it's their expressions, and well as the matching colors. :)
