Cuando Me Enamoro #50 Wednesday 6/29/11 June 29 papparazzi on the loose, some confused folks and Augie spreads his slime‏

Recap by Marta Ivette

summary of prev: everyone desperate at La Bonita, Augie finds Nata and gets on ER mode.. AntiHero tells Carlos he took her 'to the limit', he would not know what to do without her..

Rob tells friend she will marry in a month... Rob is very happy to marry the man she loves... (nose growing?) Gonzo wants the best for her child and her relationship. Sele congrats Matias...

Fina and the 'licenciado', she is mad about the prenup... she wants to annex a note/clause to the contract... without Matias realizing it... he is not willing to go that far... one thing is to spy on her husb and another one is to do something illegal... he can lose his job and even go to jail... Fina tells him as a lawyer he has been corrupt since he agreed to help her... if he knows what is best for him he will do as she says...

AntiHero in his bedroom (or Nata's?) gets down to the floor totally desperately devastated...
'I swear if you were not La Bonita I would never have made you shed a single tear!! Not one tear!! I would never have erased the smile that made me fall in love, my God!!! I love you, Nata!! I love you!! I love you as I NEVER!.... NEVER will be able to love another woman!! (and NOW you realize it??)

Cata and Ines's family are ready for the trip to go see Antonio's bullfight... Ines tells Gina that only Conny and her husband will go to the gala. Gina is happy of their decision... Ines tells her Gonzo is a respectful man, he will stay away from you. Gina agrees, but she is a bit nostalgic and knows she will miss him and Antonio at the gala. Ines asks if Gina is still thinking of talking to him after the bullfight... (Andresito briefly comes to interrupt).. Ines tries to cheer Gina saying 'no hay mal que dure cen anos' (there is no harm that lasts 100 years), Gina says 'it shows love was not for me.. Rob cheated on her, Gonzo is married, Tony loves her and she can't love him back... tells Ines she was lucky.. Isidro is a great man.

Gonzo and Matias at breakfast... Matias tells Gonzo that Rob suspects Fina is very ill... Gonzo says he will tell Rob after the wedding. Matias says he wants a small simple wedding, asks Gonzo for his guest list. Gonzo says we have to tell Nata. She will be very shocked, Matias asks what if we don't tell her at all, Gonzo says no way, have not told her because in some way she is still on honeymoon, but she has to know.

AntiHero calls Gonzo to see if she is there, but Gonzo asks for her so AH learns she is not so he doesn't tell him anything, tells Gonzo Nata went out riding. Gonzo is curious why AH called, but AH is able to wave that off... Gonzo tells Matias AH sounded odd... somehow this call is making him a bit uneasy.

Augie brings Nata home in his arms... Ezeq goes to Dr house, wakes him up and tells him Nata had an accident and Augie said he will answer with his own life if he can't save her.

Honor is totally confused about what Blanca said happened between them, he is not interested in Blanca, there is no woman for him but Connie. He gets voice mail from Connie telling him she is going somewhere with Chema... Meahwhile Blanca is paying the bartender and telling him to dissappear.

Augie's girlfriend goes to let AH know Nata is there... they feel very relieved and run out... Lazaro runs to kitchen to let Mati, Kari and Manuela know the good news.

Augie threatens Alvaro that if he lets Nata die he dies. Augie makes Dr Death breathe on him to ensure he is not drunk... Dr Death gets really nervous...

Nata wakes up, Augie runs to her, she says her chest is hurting, asks if she owes him her life... he says Dr Death is there to care for her. Augie tells her he called for AH to come see her, she tells him she doesn't want to see AH at all. Augie asks why, she won't give him any details and faints again. Augie gets really scared and calls for Dr Death. Dr Death realizes something might be wrong with her heartbeat... Augie suspects is there something wrong with her heart? Dr Death says don't know until get an EKG on her. He suggests to Augie to transfer her to a hospital... Augie says no!! Nata does not want to see AH and here is where I can control that. Dr Death is worried about her health, Augie is more worried about her emotional tranquility.

Chema arrives at Connie's house... he compliments her looks (tee shirt?)

At La Bonita, Kari has put the monogrammed sheets back on her bed... Manuela is making her a great chicken soup. Mati complains about all the details for RENATA and she does not deserve it. Manuela and Kari say Nata is the boss and they have to do everything to serve her. Kari says they have to do what they can to care for her. Mati says this is no hospital and not all of us are on a diet... You can accuse me with AH but I am not on a diet!

AH arrives at Augie's hacienda. Ezeq tells them Dr Death is caring for her. They found the SUV flipped over by the road... Augie saved her life, she was about to die, they got there right on time before her heart stopped. AH wants to see her right now. Augie comes out...
AH: Thanks for finding her. I want to see her.
Augie: I am sorry but you can't come in. Nata does not want to see you.
AH: Nata is my wife. What matters is what is best for her, over her wishes, and I want to take her to a hospital.
Girl asks AH why Nata doesn't want to see him.
Augie: What did you do to her?
AH: That is something we have to work out between the two of us. Let me through.
Augie: I have it clear that you two have things to work out, but it will happen some other time and not in my house.
AH: Nata is my wife and I decide for her, not you! Finding you does not give you any rights!
Augie: I am only fulfilling her wishes. Nata is very weak. So I will do as she asked. Areli, please take AH out.
AH: I am not leaving (grabbing him by lapel) until I see my wife.
Augie: Either you go or I'll have you taken out
Areli asks them to calm down, asks AH to leave please, she will keep him informed of what is going on with Nata.

Rob and Sele in car...
Sele congratulates Rob on the marriage proposal. You are my hero! Rob is thrilled in less than a month she will be married to Matias, but know what? the only great thing about this is that my child will have all the privileges of the MRs. Sele says just as you when Gonzo adopted you. What if you and Matt really fall for each other and then have other children with the real MR blood and not Rafa's or AH's. Rob insists no one should know that this child is Rafa's. And forget it about me falling for Matt. I will never give my heart away again as I did with Rafa. Sele asks if you tried with AH, why not with Matt? Rob says no,no!! one thing is I like them and another one is to fall in love. I will never give my heart away again. Sele insists Matt does have 'hls' (charm). Rob says all I want is for him to fall in love with me, that will give me many advantages... Sele wonders when Connie is going to come by with Chema... (they have been on side of road waiting for Connie and Chema to ride by to follow them?) there they come... Rob downtalks Chema's jeep... They follow Chema's car, Rob grabs the camera.

Connie tells Chema she was about to cancel on their trip... they are friends, but she is not used to having male friends or going out with them. Chema says get used to it, we have a good time together. Connie says her husb is ok with it. They are old enough and trust each other. Chema asks her a favor. Never say you are 'old' again. The age is in the attitude. Love your life. we will have a great time, you will see.

Honorio wanted to talk with Blanca... he tells her he feels bad, he had never cheated on his wife. He is a man completely committed. Connie is all I want on a woman. Blanca asks why did you sleep with me last night then? Honorio say that is what he does not understand... surely you could attract any man but I really love my wife. Blanca insists that he think about why he did it, because she did not force him. He gave himself to her completely and if he was sooo in love with his wife, he would not have done it... With that she stands up and leaves... She leaves him more confused than he was before...

Augie is watching Nata and thinking he wishes she wanted to stay there forever...
In living room, Carlos tries to calm AH down... Areli does same... AH insists it is something he has to deal with himself.

Nata wakes up again... says everything hurts... he says she is pretty banged up, maybe even a broken rib... Nata asks about AH... Augie says he came to see you, but since you asked, I did not let him come in. Nata thanks him. Dr Death asks Nata if she has any heart issue. Nata says no, but my sister does. Dr Death suggests she check out with a cardiologist... That was the worse problem of her accident. your heart was not responding adequately. Nata say she will. maybe that's why she feels so weak. Augie suggests she rest and try to sleep...

Augie asks Dr Death if she will be fine for good... Dr Death say did all i have to do... gave her anti-tetanus shot, anti-inflammatory... Augie says i want you here 24/7. Dr Death says that is not necessary... Augie says I WANT YOU HERE So ask Ezeq what you need to get from your house and your clinic... he won't let Dr Death even go home to shower. Dr Death asks Augie if he is in love with Nata. Augie says don't ask questions. Today you showed me you are a good doctor. Have you thought about if you were not drunk the night you cared for Rafa, how different things might have turned out?

AH and Carlos arrive at La Bonita, Mati asks about Nata, AH says she stayed at Augie's... AH goes away... Mati and Lazaro ask Carlos what happened... he says it seems the fact that Augie found her gave him some rights... Mati asks why, Carlos says Nata did not want to see AH, they ask why.. no idea., but that is not our issue, so don't ask questions.

AH gets to his study/office... remembers when Nata told him this is last time I ask you, will not humiliate myself again. you will never touch me again in your life...
AH: I had to stop you right there... I had to make love to you right then and there as you wanted, since I wanted it too. (life is sometimes about missed opportunities, right, Anti-Hero?)

Kari comes in to offer to go see Nata periodically to be with her... if he feels better if she is there, she can even take Nata's things to her. And be close. AH thanks her. She says she will never forget he let her stay there when she had nowhere to go... Will keep you informed... AH gives her a note for Nata and asks her to promise only Nata will read it. PLEASE Make sure only she reads it. Kari says she doesn't know what their problems are. But it shows you love her... AH asks about her. Kari says she has only interacted with Nata very little, but someone like Nata would only come live at the hacienda for love... SO don't worry. when there is love, things can get resolved. AH thanks her.

Honorio is pacing in his hotel room, still confused, doesn't remember from the moment they got a drink, the client was not there yet, Blanca went out to call him. Then I am totally blank... Could the drinks have been altered and that is why I can't remember anythign?... he gets a call from hotel admin that there are two spots available on the plane. Hono tells him to let Blanca know.

Augie with Areli...
She rants to him that Nata has not left the room, did not let AH see her... why does she not want to see her husband? Why are you dealing with her as if she was your wife?? Augie does not want her to ask questions... Don't give me jealousy acts... Nata is weak and will stay here until she gets well. Please loan her some clothes... you said she is your friend, no? ... Areli says yes that is my intention... and i will take care of 'my friend'.

At Cuernavaca, Rob is taking pictures of Connie and Chema. Rob mocks the 'old style' of Chema, proper, cursi, noone opens doors for women nowadays... Sele say that's exactly what she likes about him. Old style... Rob says when they go to make love he will say 'excuse me my lady, but i want to make you mine'.

Connie and Chema... Connie asks Chema if all his friends are his age. She is about to fall and he grabs her. Rob takes compromising pictures. Chema kisses her on cheek, another compromising picture... Connie thanks Chema for always making her feel good. Rob can't wait to see her uncle's face when he finds out his beloved wife is cheating on him.

Hono meets with Blanca, she plays it as if nothing really so wrong happened... she asks why he went to the restaurant. He went to question the staff on what happened, they altered his drink... he might not be able to prove anything, but he wants to know what happened last night... she says the vendor never came, had a personal issue and apologized... she gives him a whole story that they danced, he wanted to be with her... Honorio insists they altered his drink, he did things he never would have done... Blanca continues, they got to her room, says he even asked her if she minded that he was married... but she also desired him... Honorio insists he never could have done that... Blanca says that was your true self.. None of us can deny the great attraction that we have felt since we met... Won't ask him anything.. just will be the 'complement' he needs...

Kari and Lazaro arrive at Cruz de Amor... Ezeq has no problem in letting her see Nata... Dr Death comes out.. plays nice with her... did you come see me? ... Lazaro very dryly says she came to see Nata... Lazaro tells Kari he will be here if she needs him. Dr Death asks Kari if he can talk to her when she is done with Nata. Lazaro says she is not interested in talking to you. . ... Dr Death says don't interfere.. Kari says Lazaro is right, she does not want to talk to him. She walks in... Lazaro gives Dr Death the killer state. Dr Death follows Kari in.

Gonzo calls La Bonita... Mati is happy to spill the beans about Nata being at Augie's hacienda, did not go riding. She wants to stay there... Mati is about to say more when AH yanks the phone from her and tries to do damage control., giving her the killer stare at the same time. Gonzo tells AH he lied to him, why? AH says Nata went riding and then went to Augie's house to spend the day there. Gonzo remembers he knows Augie... Gonzo apologizes to AH, he needs to speak to Nata. AH says he will tell her to call him as soon as she can... When he hangs up, Gonzo looks very confused... AH reprimands Mati, not authorized to say what is going on at the hacienda and even less with his wife... Mati butts that she was only saying the truth... AH says EVEN LESS the truth!! is that clear?? (Mati runs away crying)..

Gina, Ines and family arrive to see ANtonio... Antonio wants to take Gina to meet his friends... the rest go ahead to the hotel. Andresito wants to get close to the bulls.. but Ines gets nervous and Isidro says he will go with him.

At MR, Fina gives Gonzo some brochures about potential places for Matias and Rob's honeymoon... Gonzo asks why do you want to force things? Fina says my daughters brought you and I close. And we lived many years in a true marriage. Why can't the same happen to them? At least I will die feeling good knowing that I tried.

At Cruz de Amor, Areli say Nata is ready (bathed) will throw her clothes out because they are unusable.

Carlos and Mati... he is trying to calm her down, but tells her she went over... AH was not in mood to stand her interventions... she blames La Bonita... Carlos asks her to stop blaming others and accept hers... then he suggests she fulfill her bet to him and go out dancing with him. That will help her forget everything... he wants to see her prettier..even though he thinks she can't be any more pretty... (really? she looks like a spoiled kid crying)..

Surprise!! they switched our actress for Adriana??
Daniel is helping her pack to move to Honorio's... he asks if she will rent out this apartment... she say no, what if i don't feel at ease at my dad's? he does not see her very excited about moving there... she wants to try...
Matias arrives... needs to talk to her.
Daniel greets Matias, not in very excited mode... he came to help Adriana pack, makes his exit...
Adri: Dan is only a friend, although i dont have to give you any explanations, right?
Matt drops the bomb on her... she is shocked...
Adri: I don't understand why are you going to marry Rob...To assume the paternity responsibility, you don't have to marry her!
Matt: I know that, but I am going to do it.
Adri: I don't understand you, but Know what? That is your problem! So I will ask you to please not invite me to your wedding. Spare me the hard moment of watching you throw away your life.. and now please leave me alone.

At Cruz de Amor, Augie is using the fact that Nata is sleeping to spread his slime all over her face... 'you are so devilishly beautiful'... through the door comes Kari and watches the scene...

I don't want to see Matilde and Carlos get together. Please no. Augie creeped me out by kissing a sleeping Renata.

~Caborita
 

Marta- Once again I am impressed with the detailed dialogue you give us, even when writing a breezy recap. Thanks.

Love that Hon's trying to figure out what happened and suspects his drink was doctored. Too bad he doesn't suspect it was Blanca herself who did it. But since she wasn't even at the table when the drink was delivered, he probably wouldn't put her high on the suspect list.

Augi kissing a sleeping Nata...eeewww! I hope Kari doesn't think Nata is aware and participating in the kiss.

Hope Gonzo follows up on what is happening with Nata. I would be worried too. It's a classic abusive husband situation-- cut her off from family and friends.

New Adri! I looked up what happened to Wendy Gonzalez. She screwed up her knee and had to leave the show to do some major surgery on it. Probably those sky high platforms she's always wearing to take her from being 4'11 to 5'5.

I did not feel one bit sorry for Mati. She only got a taste of the nasty stuff Jero has been dishing out to Nata by the plateful, and she was already reduced to a puddle of tears. She should jsut imagine what Nata has been feeling.
 

Thanks Marta for wonderful detailed recap. Ewwww!!!DisAgustin spreading his slime over Renata erased any good thoughts about him. Mati is such a narcistic brat; she needs a reality check along with a good spanking. I hope Renata's accident puts a dent in Fina and Roberta's trap-a-man plot.

Thanks Marta, very nicely done. I agree with Vivi about your detailed translations. Excellent.

This show seems to have an even higher than usual TN ick factor. That kiss by Augie of a sleeping Renata gave me the heebie jeebies. Yikes. Last night's Mr. I? How about a jail cell? I was rooting for him right up until that moment. I think that Kari was every bit as appalled as we were.

Also icky... Antonio. This guy may be good with bulls, but he seems to have no ability to read either the verbal nor the non-verbal clues he is bombarded with. Regina seems to shudder (and not in a good way) every time he touches her.

I sense a negativity here toward Matilde, but surely no one approves of the way Jerry lashed out at her. She's a big girl and can (and will) take care of herself. I'm looking forward to her turning on him... claws out. Everyone else at La Bonita is treating him with kid gloves. I suspect she will not.

My hero last night was Honorio. This guy is clearly not going to take this Lying (or would that be laying, Dr. Judy?) down.

Carlos
 

Buenos dias, Marta! Thanks for writing up such a fluid, detailed recap!

I so hope Karina doesn't run out of the room thinking Nata was awake for that kiss. If Kari turns cold to Nata because of it, I'll be bummed. Her and Manuela have been the only friends Nata could talk to at La Bonita - especially now that Augie has shown his true pervy colors.

I knew we would get a new Adriana soon, I saw it on IMDb. I'm not familiar with the new actress but I think she can fill Wendy Gonzalez's platform shoes quite well.

Honorio is questioning what happened with Blanca! Good for him. Most of these drugged TN guys assume they were willing participants.

Sele and Berta's "compromising" pictures crack me up. Sure, Coni and Chema look a little flirty but she did tell Honorio that they were taking a friendly drive together. Not nearly as incriminating as Sele and Berta made it out to be.

Amy
 

Well, duh. I thought that Adriana looked different last night because she changed her eye shadow. I was liking the new look.

Carlos
 

Marta great job and thank you.


I'm glad at least Honorio is thinking enough to believed he was drugged too bad the waiter in question has been bought off.

When i saw the new Adriana i figured something major must have happened to Wendy gonzalez they don't replace actors like this in anovela unless they died or has a major accident i hope she gets better real soon and find some shoes that aren't dangerous to walk in or maybe get some lessons from Maite Perroni who knows how to even run in those high heel platforms.


Include me in the yuck and ewwwwwwwwwwww factor with Auggie kissing a sleeping Renata.

Jerko you deserve to suffer for your horrible treatment towards Renata. but i did cheer you on when you let the brat Mati have it.


Vivi i felt the same way you did not one ounce of sympathy do i have for this brat who reminds me too much of Gardenia from MEPS. Really she should consider herself fortunate that Jerko married Renata if that was Roberta she would have been slapped and then sacked.

Doesn't the actress who's playing Areli(spare girl) look a little like she is related to the actress playing Fina? They look like they have the same nose and their eyes.
 

Blusamurai, although I disagree with you a bit about Matilde, I have to say that I've noticed the same similarity between Areli and Fina. The first time I saw Areli, I wondered why she hadn't been cat as the young Pipafina.

Carlos
 

Advice to the locos in this story:

Augustin: Contact that guy in California who makes delux sex dolls to order and give him photos of Renata. You don't want her, you want a high-end blow-up doll you can feel secure with.

To Gonzalo: Push till it gives. Don't let Augustin put you off.

To Matilde: Grow up or face the consequences!

To Jerko: Get a grip. And fire Matilde ayer.

More later; I have to go out.
 

If it weren't for Jeronimo, Matilde and Lazaro would be looking for work. Regardless of how she feels about Renata, she should show a little more respect and some one should remind her of that.
 

People have been telling that brat to mind her manners and show the dueana of the hacienda the same respect she shows Jerko. But because she has a mad crush on Jerko she thinks it's ok for her to act this way.

Urban ita fired her spoiled behind pronto.
 

Marta - great retelling and love the word for word dialogue too!

Agree with everyone's collective "ICK!" with Augie slobbering over poor Nata. And he sure showed his "not thinking on all cylinders - selfish side" with the decision to make Nata stay at the hacienda. She complains of chest pains, but NO, it's more important for him to have her there versus making sure she's actually ok. jack***.

Sorry, Carlos, but Mati was wrong to start spilling gossip to Gonzo. As an employee of the hacienda, which she really is, that's not her place. I just cannot warm to her constant bratty comments - if she was my daughter, man we would have had a MAJOR talking to by now. I hope something gets her to change and mature more, she has a good heart, but doesn't always use her head in the right way.

Too bad about Wendy - but do have to say the new actress comes off ok. She even looks a little older which might fit better with the character. Glad she told Matias off - he has no right to ask her to hang in there when he opts to marry someone else, for show or not. poor slob -

So who thinks Toni is about to feel the sharp end of a bull?
 

Marta, thank you for the stupendous recap and Vivi thanks for posting.

Vivi, thanks for the info on Wendy Gonzalez. I was wondering what happened to our pink-lidded Adriana.

Marta, your detail is always very fun to read. I completely missed Rob's snotty comment about Chema being so cursi and old-fashioned he would say to Cons 'excuse me my lady, but i want to make you mine'. That's hilarious.

Does Sele actually think that Chema will end up being with her if she causes trouble for Coni and Honorio? If so she is a very stupid girl. If I were Chema and discovered Sele was stalking and taking pictures I would avoid her forever.

Honorio is the one who discovered Diego and Roberta were behind the smear campaign on Renata. I hope he spends as much time trying to discover what happened to him. If he really did do the deed with Blanca and he was drugged then she raped him and he should take legal proceedings against her. Has that ever yet happened in a telenovela?

Augie TOTALLY creeped me out last night! Ick! I really hope Kari knows that Nata is out cold.

Mati is a pain in the patoot and Manuela warns her several times per episode to watch her mouth. However I wish Manuela would stop saying it is their place to serve the mistress and instead tell Mati that her behavior is just plain rude and disrespectful. Somehow I don't think the "it is our place" terminology is working very well.

Daisy, ITA that poor Tony is about to get impaled or stomped. Unfortunately this will only make Regina feel more guilty since he is doing the bullfight for her. Oh brother.

I have a question. Last night Augie creepily thought bubbled that he hoped Renata would stay at his place "por siempre". Is there a difference between por siempre and para siempre? I believe I have only heard the "para" version.

Thanks again Marta.
 

I'm glad Jero put Mati in her place. I like her a lot but she has been in full brat mode for way too long. She had no right to share personal information about her patrona. As someone else said -- everyone has told her how inappropriate her behavior is & she ignored them all -- brother, god mother, friend -- maybe she'll take it seriously now that her adored hermoso has let her have it.

I too hope that catching the kiss doesn't make Kari doubt our poor put-upon Renata. and Eew! What a slime is Augustin.
 

daisynjay, Matilde certainly is a handful. I agree that she may have been just a little to eager to share information (although after all, the caller was Renata's daddy) and perhaps even slightly malicious. Even her godmother has suggested that a swat on the butt (nalgada) might be in order.

On the other hand, I don't think that Jerry keeping Gonzo in the dark about Renata's accident is necessarily laudable either.

I'm certain that Matilde is salvageable... not so sure about Jerry.

Carlos
 

Thanks Marta...got a kick out of your "(nose growing?)" quip. And like Sylvia, missed the "excuse me my lady, etc.". Glad you included it. Your detail is awesome.

Dr. Carlos...oh, those good ol' Lying vs. Laying days. I think the alleged "laying" took place the other night; not we're hip deep in "lying". You crack me up bringing back our demented grammar discussion. As did your wry "I sense a little negativity toward Matilde here". NO KIDDING!!!!! Thanks goodness you're her champion 'cause the rest of us all loathe her.

However, unlike Caborita, I would like to see her and Carlos get together. She needs a love life of her own.... pronto.... to sweeten her up.

I believe the vote is unanimous: Augustin is Mr. Ick and Mr. Inappropriate. Alas, I'm betting the reason they had Karin witness that kiss is so the waters may be further muddied in everyone's mind. Guess we'll have to grin and bear it for quite a while.
 

Actually, Mati spilling the beans to Gonzo was, I thought, the only appropriate thing she's done so far. Yes she should respect her boss's confidentiality, however Jero is trying to keep Renata's condition from her own father! On the other hand I guess it is up to Renata to call her father and inform him of her condition...which I'm sure she will NOT do for fear of worrying him. Sigh.

But on the other hand, Mati's motivation for telling Gonzo was pure maliciousness and had nothing to do with Renata's well-being. She was probably hoping Nata's daddy would storm in and take his daughter away from La Bonita.
 

The new Adriana is 'Little Marilee' from Juan Querendon! YAY! She was cute as a blonde so seeing her with dark hair will take a little getting used to.

Marta, I echo the others in loving your recap. Details and actual dialog are always appreciated.

Mr. I - Augie, definitely. Ick, ick, ick!
 

OMG Emilia you're right!! Good eye amiga. She looked familiar but I totally did not make the connection. I'm glad they cast her then, I really like her.
 

What an interesting, but intense TN! I don't weigh in much, but I enjoy reading the recaps and comments. However, I need to vent:

Lots of creepy people: Dr. Death--looks and acts strange; Agustin kissing sleeping Renata (yuck-o!); but the one that has surpassed even the doctor, in my opinion, is Blanca. I don't get the motive of her stalking and drugging Honorio. It was disgusting to watch her rubbing all over him last night and hilarious to watch him continue to pull away. (Geez, she is not even atractive!) If I were Honorio, I'd run fast and let her get her own flight home!

Matilde, I used to like you and your spunk. Now, you're just a brat. Isn't there anyother TN that could use a good cook...

Seems this TN has more than the usual number of people with their own agendas.

Jero: what kind of protagonist is he? His bitter revenge and psychological problems are not endearing or worthy of sympathy at all! How could Renata ever forgive and trust him even when she eventually learns his mis-guided motive? Who would want to be married to someone who has the ability to be so psycho and cold? Even at the beginning of the TN when he broke up with his girlfriend in Spain he just seemed like such a cold-hearted b***ard! She may have lied to him, but he was just plain cold. I can't figure out if that's Juan Soler's personality or just good acting!

About the only pleasant interactions at this point are watching Kari and Lazaro.
 

Oh, one more thing. I have a question for the group:

Is anyone else having more trouble than usual understanding the language? It seems they all speak faster than normal in this TN. I remember watching "Eva Luna" and understanding just about every word. I thought I had "arrived" in second language heaven! Now, I think I need Spanish 101 again!
 

OMG. I hope this doesn't turn into the TN version of "Misery" at Cruz de Amor.

~Caborita
 

Marta, thanks for writing this thorough recap. There were a few conversations and details I missed so I appreciate it. Especially liked that you pointed out the old-fashioned gentleman mockery. That was funny.

I'll join Carlos in liking Matilde. Yes, she's a brat, but I think she's redeemable. I'm pretty sure her issue is not that she's madly in love with Jero (who could be, especially now that she's seen his ugly side?) but that she fancies herself the lady of the manor and resents having her imagined place usurped by Renata. Someone needs to get through her thick skull that if she doesn't shape up, she won't be living at the hacienda in any capacity for long.

Roberta is certainly a master of revisionist history. Now Rafa was the love of her life? I seem to recall that her affection for him was rather tepid, and she considered breaking up but then decided she would run off with him just because she wanted to get away from her family.
 

Julia, regarding Matilde, I remember that she seemed very supportive of Rafael and excited he was getting married and bringing La Bonita to the hacienda. So, I keep wondering why she has not been equally supportive of Jero and his wife. She had been angry with him when he was going to sell the hacienda, then he was "el hermoso" again when he decided to keep it. SO, why is she so nasty with his wife? Maybe it is more than just wanting to be the patrona herself?
 

Marta, thank you for such a wonderful detailed recap. And thanks to all the recappers over the past few weeks, life is getting in the way of my TN watching and commenting.

Deb, can Matilde cook. I thought her job was to be an obnoxious juvenile. She makes me crazy when she puts her boot shod feet on the furniture.

I like the new Adriana - great casting.

Yes, Agustine is Mr. I in more ways than one.

Pobre Hon it is going to take him a long time to get out this mess with Blanca and into Connie's good graces when she finds out. There is no doubt that Blanca will make sure she finds out.

After giving this a lot of thought, I think the reason Renata never connected Jero and Raf is that they never used the same last name. Jero uses Linares and Raf used Gutierrez. Their common last name is de la Fuente. Does this mean they had different fathers?

Rosemary
 

Deb - several of the actors speak very fast. Renata speaks super fast! Fortunately for me her diction is clipped enough I can usually understand what she says, but it is so fast.

Jero is fast and NOT clear. There are several others who speak fast.

Audrey
 

I can see Augie giving both Nata and AntiHero the 'you owe me' speech from here on out... esp Nata.and Nata giving AntiHero the 'where were you?' speeches.
 

So who thinks Toni is about to feel the sharp end of a bull?

ITA... he is toast... or at least condemned to paralisis for a good while to tie Gina to his bedside.
 

Rosemary- Yes, they have different fathers and that's why Renata has never made the connection. We had a bit of a debate about it the other day. Some feel she should still be making the connection because of the same first name of her MIA friend Rafa and Jero's dead Rafa. I think Rafa is too common of a first name, and a bunch of other non-connecting factors (like geography and profession) to make the mental leap easily.
 

I think Nata's Sylvia Navarro must come from the same region as our beloved late Eduardo Palomo. although they are mexican, they skip sounds and syllables as if they were from South America.
Juan Soler is originally argentinian and you can tell he skips sounds (s vs j sound for example) and speaks faster. some folks watching La fea were also having trouble with his diction.

Regarding Mati and her relationship with Rafa and Jero, she had seen a picture of Rafa with Jero way back when so she had fallen in 'love' with the picture and when Jero came she was going to try to conquer him. That is why, she was seeing Rafa as her nice patron but Jero she had seen as her future husband... but Nata came and got in the way and she an see Jero is madly in love with Nata and that makes Nata her enemy.
 

My big question is how long will it take Augie to put two and two together as far as the relationship between Jero and Nata. If Nata tells him that Jero blames her for Rafa's death... will that be enough for Augie to connect the dots and figure out that Jero thinks Nata is La Bonita and that is why he blames her for Rafa's death? Remember both Augie and Areli saw the heart on the tree with the name Roberta. That could be key information... I can see Augie keeping quiet even after connecting the dots to increase the bad vibe between Jero and Nata and then becoming Nata's savior. I am not sure but it seems like they have accelerated this part of the novela as compared with the 98 version. We are only in ep 50 or so... and Matt's wedding is coming soon. and Nata already had her 'accident' (remember the fall from horse of Vero in La mentira?) Or maybe its me... dont remember how many eps of La mentira befoer that dreaded extension...
 

Thanks Marta for the great recap. I especially like it that you include dialogue.

I didn't think anyone could surpass Gardenia as the most obnoxious brat ever, but Mathilde has. But, like Gardenia, Mathilde is good at heart and I'm sure (hope) she'll mature over the course of the TN.

Augi was more than creepy. His kissing Nata when she was unconscious/asleep was too necrophilia for me. Ugh!

I wish the TN would have done what American soaps do, put a little "subtitle" at the bottom of the screen saying "Adriana is now being played by -----."

Robey
 

Vivi, thanks for the clarification about the surname. I know we can always count on you to remember the tiniest detail.

Rosemary
 

The new Adriana was also in Mar de Amor- as a blond.
 

I loved the original Adriana with her fiesty survivor attitude. Please please not another cryer and emotional dire world attitude.
 

BonneyC- It will be interesting to see how the new actress interprets the role. Wendy, like SN, exudes a spunkiness in her characters. Even in Sorti, when she was the bratty little sister, she was fun and tough (pug dog in a ponytail we'll called her).
 

Thanks Marta for the explanation of the differences in speaking. It's rough when the two main characters both speak fast and/or drop letters! I generally know what's going on (relying a lot on body language and the few words I get), but I certainly miss the details. I've found the need to rely on the recap more than ever! (Thanks recappers!!!)

Also, thanks for explaining Matilde seeing the picture of Jero and falling in love early on. I missed that, I guess. But now that explains her behavior!
 

for anyone interested: tonight on telefutura at 8pm cst: Ladron que roba a ladron with Fer Colunga, Miguel Varoni and Saul Lizaso
 

Thanks Marta. I like that movie. It's very entertaining and I recommend it.

By the way, did you see my question about why Augi said "Por siempre" instead of "Para siempre"? Is there a difference?
 

Sylvia- I found this explanation:

-Por siempre and para siempre are very close in meaning, but not exactly the same.
-They cannot always be used interchangeably.
-Para siempre is more common, por siempre more used in literature.

Para siempre:
Forever
Always
For an indefinite time

Por siempre:
Forever
Perpetually
 

Thanks Vivi. With this information I'm thinking that Augustin's intent might be slightly more poetic, but at the same time it might be more sinister as "perpetually" could imply even after death. So he's kind of a crazy.
