Teresa Thu 7/7/11 #93 Snits in Spain, Hernan is THE Galán.

Episode is finally done! Sorry, no screencaps this time, I'm going barebones. But it is DONE!!!

FIRST HALF:

LO SIENTO, I know I am going to miss parts. PLEASE feel free to correct any errors or add stuff that I missed because I'm going to try to go through this fast.

We start with Rubigote giving Aeeeeda a hard time about Mariano, but she's not having any of it.

Aurora having a heart-to-heart with Mariano about her abandonment issues with missing mom. Mariano comforts her with a hug. He seems a bit touchy-feely to me.

Pati tries to counsel Espe in the hospital, about getting Rubigote to help pay for expenses. Espe is not receptive to this and Pati is flustered because she realizes she's stuck her foot in it.

After their touchy-feely talk, Mariano leaves Aurora as Juana and Hector the Director come to see her. Juana notices Aurora's tears and listens as Aurora talks about her unrequited romance woes with Mariano.

Conversation between Pati and Espe continues in hospital room. Espe is worried about paying the bills, but she can't be indebted to Rubigote. She says that Johnny is a good brother who wants to help his sister. Pati agrees that Johnny's quite the wonderful fellow.

Juana and Aurora have a bonding moment, where I think Aurora talks about Juana's losing her baby and the affect it had on her. Comforting coming from both sides in this pseudo mom-daughter moment.

Mariano tells Hector the Director that Espe is on the verge of losing her baby because of this infeliz, Rubigote.

Teresa and Professor Hottie are now finally in España. Teresa is thrilled at the sights as Prof. Hottie looks on, pleased.

Johnny comes to Espe's hospital room. He got a lot of money. Espe and Pati are worried about where he got it. He assures them that it's okay, he didn't get it from Geme.

More with Prof. Hottie and Teresa roaming around España.

Cutberto visits Refugio. I missed some of it here. He gives her money to (I think) give to Espe to help pay her hospital bills. Refugio decides that they both need to go to the hospital.

Mayra and Rubigote. He tries to placate her and assure her that he's not Espe's baby daddy, but Mayra is very skeptical about his and angry.

In Espe's hospital room, Hernan the Galán is checking up on her. She's asleep and Hernan whispers sweet things to her bebe, about how much both mom and he love said bebe. Sweet.

It's been a long day in España and Teresa and Prof. Hottie go to their hotel room. But wait, what's this? What are Prof. Hottie's bags doing in Teresa's room? She doesn't want them to share a room because they are, after all, separated. Poor Professor Hottie looks absolutely crestfallen at this.

Luisa and Fernando's b*tchy mom are talking. The conversation goes to Teresa. Luisa puts in a good word for Teresa's worthiness, but b*tchy mom isn't too sure.

More argument between Teresa and Prof. Hottie about the whole sharing the room thing. I missed something there, but basically he lays it out—let's cancel the trip and go back to Mexico if you aren't on board with all of this. That's telling her!

Luisa and b*tchy mom. Talking about marriage to Fernando. Mom would like Luisa to marry him right away. Luisa admits that he would like them to move in together first. Mom says (I think) something about go for it then!

Professor Hottie says they don't have to make love, but at least they can share a room. They have to show some intent at being together and working on reconciling. (I think.) Okay, says Teresa. The whole "having sex with Prof. Hottie" was apparently the deal-breaker for her, and so with that off the table, she can cope. I don't understand this woman. LOL!

Luisa is surprised by mom's advice to live with Fernando. Mom is very casual, hey, that's what they're all doing these days. The world is changing, yadda yadda. Luisa is a little surprised to hear this from Fer's mom, but she admits she'd like to live with him. Oh, we see that this is going to be a trainwreck, don't we?

Mom encourages Luisa to move in with Fernando while Prof. Hottie and Teresa are off in Europe (so presumably Prof. Hottie won't hit the roof quite yet at the news). See how things work out. Luisa seems a bit skeptical about this plan, but smiles.

Rubigote and Mrs. Rubigote have the brilliant idea to go harass Espe in her hospital room. Fortunately Hernan the Galán stops them at the door and tells them to stop bothering "mi mujer" which makes Mayra look pointedly at Rubigote. Rubigote doesn't look pleased himself.

Refugio and Cutberto see Aurora napping in one of the offices at the hospital. They start to leave, but Aurora wakes up and invites them in. There's some talk about the time change in Europe? FF>>

Hernan the Galán is the MAN. He is not taking any BS from Mr. & Mrs. Bigote. Mayra wants to ask about how many months Espe is along in her pregnancy. She seems to think that it's her God-given right to barge in there and find this out right now. But Hernan is like no way. Stop bothering mi mujer. Go Hernan! Of course in the background, Aeeeeda is listening in, unseen.

It's bedtime for Prof. Hottie and Teresa. She's wearing some skimpy nighty and he is showing off his hot bod. They start to get snippy with each other (something about what side of the bed do you want) and start to snipe about bad memories regarding Paloma and Mariano. Blah blah blah. Teresa goes in a huff to sleep on the couch in a snit and Prof. Hottie says good night and turns out the light, returning to the bed. Teresa pouts. I guess she expected him to beg some more.

LAST HALF!

Mariano and Aurora are talking about Mariano's struggles to keep his clinics going. She gives him the business card of some company (or organization) that helps out people like him. He says something like he'll do this, but only if she's there with him (?). She always helps him and he wants her to get credit for it.

Fernando's back from wherever he was and Luisa says that now that Hermano (Prof. Hottie) and Teresa are away for a while, why don't they move in together and see how it goes. Fernando actually jumps and recoils a little at this news. Then comes along mom and says what a great great plan it is, and how she'll go alone to Cancun (I think?) and leave them by themselves. Or something. Basically mom is totally giving them the green light. Fernando seems a bit shocked by all of this.

In the middle of the night, Prof. Hottie goes into where Teresa is sleeping, gently carries her (blanket and all) and places her in the bed. She doesn't awake. He kisses her forehead and then goes off to (presumably) sleep on the couch. Sucker.

Aurora and Mariano are talking about Espe's bebe and how Hernan is working hard to save it. Aeeeeda barges in and says something which I THINK means that as far as she's concerned, let the baby die. Mariano gives her such a look of disgust.

Fernando says of course he wants to live together! Luisa's bro and Teresa are trying to make a go of it, now is the time for them too. They kiss.

Big drama between Aeeeda and Mariano. My hatred for Aeeeda reaches new heights. Basically yeah, she wishes the kid were dead. Mariano is appalled because: 1) He's a DOCTOR, he's supposed to save lives, 2) This kid may be Aeeda's half sibling, que the hell? and 3) This kid is innocent, dammit!

But Aeeda is on a rampage and says something like if you can't be on my side, adios. Mariano looks beyond disgusted. Finally he sees her for what she is.

Teresa wakes up and goes to the living area where our Professor Hottie is sleeping on the couch, looking adorable and like a hottie. Teresa looks fondly at him, shaking her head slightly, as the romantic song plays. It looks like Professor Hottie made the right move if he wants to try to secure her affections. I still think he's a sucker, though.

Hernan and Aurora are talking about Esperanza's delicate condition. And, no worries, Hernan can get the bills taken care of. But Johnny the Dimwit comes up and says in a roundabout way, "No offense doc, but I don't want my sister to be beholden to you." Poor Hernan's face falls.

More ranting and raving between Mariano and Aeeeda. He just can't understand her horrible attitude! He seems absolutely astounded and disgusted. He says maybe they shouldn't see each other anymore. She seems amazed at this.

Breakfast in España. Some chitchat about not eating too much and getting fat. Then they talk about shopping. Teresa seems to have warmed up to Prof. Hottie and he looks pleased. Romantic song playing in background. We then show a montage of scenes of Teresa and Prof. Hottie wandering around Madrid, hand-in-hand, looking happy.

Mariano barges into Rubigote's office and reads him the riot act, about bothering Esperanza. Also, it's Rubigote's fault she's even in the hospital at all! He needs to be a man and deal with the consequences of his actions. Mariano then says that Aeeda is smart and is almost sure that Espe's baby daddy is Rubigote. Mariano also warns Rubigote that Aeeeda wishes the baby were dead. (I think that's what was said!)

Some discussion between Aeeeda and Aurora about Mariano. Aeeeda asks Aurora to help get Mariano back. Aurora has an uncertain look on her face.

Mariano lectures Rubigote about all the stuff he's done. I missed some of this. Rubigote says that in truth he wants the kid to live and wants to take care of it (I think he says this). Mariano warns Rubigote to leave Espe alone because her pregnancy is at risk.

Prof. Hottie and Teresa have more bonding moments in España. They get their picture taken in front of some statue, as Teresa thoughbubbles how she misses Mariano. Professor Hottie, oblivious as usual, gives her a kiss on her forehead.

Aeeeda and Aurora talking. Aeeeda says that Mariano interests her more than she had anticipated, and Aurora is her best friend and she can help. Aurora says that Espe is also a friend of hers and I think she is reluctant to help. Aeeeda says something I missed and then says that she suspects that Espe's bebe is her dad's and she wants to know for sure. (?)

Back in Madrid, Teresa is walking along the street with Professor Hottie and looking pensive. He asks why she is crying. She says that she's thinking about how perfect it is to see beautiful places with someone you love (she of course is thinking of Mariano). But poor Professor Hottie jumps on this, all hopeful, thinking that she means him. He babbles about how he knows he's done things to hurt their love, but maybe now they can have a new start. She says she won't let her feelings dominate her and he says that love is most important. He seems so hopeful and she looks away with a cold look on her face.

Aeeda talking with Aurora some more. More complaining about Espe's kid. Aeeda admits that she spoke rashly and without thinking to Mariano about not wanting the kid to exist. She asks Aurora to help get Mariano to forgive her, and Aurora says she'll talk with him.

Hector the Director and Hernán talking about Hernan's sincere interest in Espe and her baby.

Mariano talking with Espe. She's worried that Johnny got the money to pay the bills through Gema (the loan-shark lady). Mariano looks concerned.

Back in Madrid, they seem to be having a good day sightseeing. Teresa says it's cold. Maybe a hot cup of coffee would do. Professor Hottie has a better idea—a hug from someone who loves you. She smiles at this, receptive, as he give her a big hug. End of episode!

Avances show that Aeeeda gets into some altercation with poor Espe. Espe looks like she's having trouble, clutching her stomach. Professor Hottie and Teresa look like they are getting closer. Same with Mariano and Aurora. The next episode is apparently Monday.

Comments:
OMG, I figured one of the Bigotes would show up to harass Esperanza but ALL THREE!??! I cannot believe that Maniac Mayra and El Bigote came together to give bedridden Esperanza the third degree. They are seriously damaged and deserve each other. Hooray for Hernan the Galan for running interference. Another hooray to Mariano for dumping that harpy Aida. Remember man, you are dating and she is supposedly on her best behavior. It only gets worse, just look at mom for a preview. Hee, sorry for the rant. Can you tell I'm perturbed by this self-centered family?

Thanks Elvira, barebones is always fun and I'm glad you are enjoying your summer.
 

WHAT??? Mariano broke up with Aida? I have GOT to find a new hobby for my houseguest...
 

I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Aida did her anti-Espe rant in front of Mariano and Aurora and shrieked that she didn't care whether Espe's baby lived or died. Mariano told Aida he thought they had the same view of life but apparently he was wrong as they are fundamentally different. Then Aida said, Wait a minute, are you breaking up with me? Mariano just glared at her. In Aida's next scene she's griping to Aurora that Mariano broke it off and she wants Aurora's help getting back together with him.
 

HOORAY!!!
 

Cap'n sylvia ditto on your post. I would only add screeching before harpy. Her loud annoying speech should be enough to dump her. I cover my ears every time she opens her mouth.
Tasha
 

And........Teresa seems to be softening on her feelings for Arturo, they even played "A Donde Vamos a Parar" and not in reference to Mariano, as they "lovingly" (?) enjoyed the sights of beautiful Madrid!!!
 

Sandy, yes!! They were playing the Teresa/Mariano song with Teresa and Arturo. That clearly signifies a breakthrough or turning point because the music never lies.
 

I love this story, better than any I have seen to date.
Barebones is good Elvira, I can't believe you can do so many.
I am slowly learning Spanish, but native speakers still get that crinkle between their eyebrows when I speak to them in Spanish like they are in pain. But this TN process is really helping. Thanks to all the recappers for their help.
 

Loved the recap thus far Elvira. So Arturo and Teresa are actually in Spain and not a green screen location. Teresa really needs to get over herself. Here is Arturo (looking hot as hell) and she doesn't want to share the bed with him?

Later though, Arturo picked the sleeping shark up and placed her on the bed and wrapped the covers over her and he slept on the couch. Teresa seemed to be genuinely touched by the gesture. She was looking at him in a whole new light while he slept and the love theme normally played for her and Mariano was playing for her and Arturo. Is Teresa starting to fall to Arturo? Then again, she did go into her I miss Mariano think ala Scarlett.

I'm worried that Esp will miscarry. Aida confronts her again in her room and she's on the room in pain in the previews. There's no show tonight. Can't wait for Monday.
 

I totally cannot believe what happened between Mariano and Aida! The chain of events started with Mayra and Ruben arguing about Esperanza's baby being fathered by Ruben. Of course, Ruben denies it, but Mayra wants to go directly to Esperanza, who is in the hospital after Ruben roughed her up, and confirm how far along her pregnancy is, and probably confront her about Ruben. Mayra and Ruben then hastily leave for the hospital.

When they arrive, and are outside Esperanza's hospital room, Hernan is just walking out. He stops Ruben and Mayra from entering, saying that Esperanza needs to get her rest and cannot be disturbed, and asks what the heck they want with his wife anyway. Of course the self-centered Mayra and Ruben don't care about Esperanza's health and want to barge in to talk to her. Hernan, is firm about denying them access and threatens to call security if they don't leave. Aida sneeks in and unbeknownst to them, she is eavesdropping. Hernan, Mayra & Ruben continue their heated and escalating argument, with Hernan insisting they leave or he will have security throw them out.

Aida storms off. In Mariano's office, he is talking with cutie-pie Aurora and she is saying the situaiton with Esperanza is delicate - when BOOM - Aida invites herself in, interrupting (she is furious). She says "stop worrying about that kid already". Then she says she wishes that son of Esperanza's was DEAD. ("Por mi que se muera el hijo de Esperanza"). Mariano and Aurora are in shock.

Mariano confronts Aida about her nasty remarks. Aida screams that this kid isn't even born and has caused lots of fights between her parents and continues to provoke more. Aurora excuses herself.

Aida is screaming and looks like she is going to start breaking things. She says Esperanza is 3 months pregnant and that kid is probably her father's and she can't stand it. She screams that she HATES that this baby may be related to her, and that makes her want all the more for it to DIE. She is mad that Mariano helps Esperanza and wants instead for him to support her point of view.

Mariano is appalled and says he needs to tell her something...they disagree on fundamental aspects of life... Aida interrupts saying, what...are you breaking up with ME?

It was an AWESOME scene, I didn't do it justice. Margarita Magana is a great actress.
 

That's supposed to say on the floor with pain. Typos.
 

Elvira, fantastic first half. I don't understand Teresa either. Good grief she is on her dream vacation with an amazing hunk. Yes he cheated on her but how quickly she forgets that 1) she boinked another on the eve of her wedding, 2) she can't stay away from said boinkee, and 3) Art is doing everything possible to make it up to her.

Tasha, I know what you mean because every time Aida comes on the screen I lower the volume.

Sharbyte, ITA that Margarita Magana is superb. She certainly elicits some gut responses.
 

Hmm, all I remember is:

HOSPITAL

Bigote Family comes to harass Esperanza; Hernan shuts them down while Aida eavesdrops

Mariano dumps Aida for having a death wish on Espe's baby

Aida goes to Aurora to help her get Mariano back

Hernan tells Hector he really cares for Espe; later, Dumb@$$ Johnny tells Hernan Espe doesn't want anything to do with him

HUNK HOUSE

Oriana suggests to Luisa to move in with Fer

Luisa tells Fer she'd like to live with him; he is less than thrilled

SPAIN

Art & Teresa sightsee

Teresa gets mad when she has to share a room with Art

Teresa is sad that she isn't seeing these sights with Mariano

Teresa seems to decide to be happy with Art
 

Great first half Elvira. Sounds like you are having a wonderful summer, as it should be.

I cheered when Mariano told Aida about herself and broke it off. We all knew it would happen eventually when their different views on life became apparent. It doesn't devalue the time they had together because they had fun. But now it's time to move on because Aida can't move on from the Espe situation.

So, just in case anyone missed it, Oriana got her way and di NOT loan Art and Teresa her plane. They were able to get a flight to Madrid instead of to Paris (where there was bad weather and flights were cancelled). It looked pretty cold in Madrid too, and from the previews, it will be snowing soon. Do sharks like snow?

I think Ter was definitely feeling some tenderness towards Art in a few of these scenes. I think the time away from all her schemes will be good for them. He can go back into professor mode, showing her all the European palces he knows, and she has to do nothing but enjoy it, learn (which she actually enjoys doing), and get pampered. I also don't see what the big sacrifice is in cuddling up to such a stud muffin in bed. I'm glad he put his foot down about sharing the room. He's not a glorified tour guide for Pete's sake!
 

Elvira, thanks much for the recap.

Of course Teresa isn't being fair with the prof considering she'd have cheated with Mariano, but I do admire the way she insists on being No. 1 with Arturo. Although she's not in love with him (yet), his cheating was a blow to her ego cause no one should come before her. I like the way she's making him work hard for forgiveness.

Aeeeeeeda is at her best when she's battling her dad, and for that reason alone I hope she gets redeemed eventually. But she's been so harsh in the vecindad I can see the neighbors not inviting Mariano to their parties just so they can avoid him bringing his girlfriend. Now that Aeeeeeeda went so low as to wish the baby dead, Mariano's eyes are open about how cruel and self-centered she can be but my guess is he'll listen to her pleading excuses and accept her back.

I liked Madame Oriana Butinski last night. It's kind of sweet the way she's trying to help Luisa, but will it backfire?
 

Elvira: ITA with everything Cap'n Sylvia says! Loved the first-- even if barebones--half and I know I'll enjoy the second half also as much.
==============
ViviDC: Thanks for stepping in yesterday and getting things going. I must have started an hour or so later than you and you beat me to it! LOL! It's hard to know when to stick something up.
===============
Tasha: Aeeeda is definitely a screetch a minute kind o' gal. Would shrew be an adequate one-word descriptive?
===========
Shark-byte/Anon.207: a good mini of the hospital fracas. Looks like we could use a replacement for Samantha on Wed. nights if you'd like to give it a try. Alternate weeks like Kristoise and Elvira do it are also an option if a full-time stint wouldn't work. otherwise, I'm happy to paste up your bullet points/highlites on a discussion page. :?)
 

I think I am actually beginning to understand the Teresa character more. She loves Mariano and although she is the one who rejected him her heart is breaking. She was touched by his gesture-and is trying to care for him.
Hernan and Espe-did she agree to marry him? Are they already married? He is calling her baby mi hijo.
Looking forward to second part-Thanks Elvira
 

Have to admit that as much as I enjoy Teresa, her berrinches are getting on my last nerve. I cheered Arturo myself for finally putting his foot down and telling her to get with the program or pack her bags for home. She was acting like a child and he treated her like one! LOL! Definitely thought that she might have started to fall for her hunky hubby when she came out of the bedroom and looked at him curled up on the couch. I had to stop a number of times to remind myself to stick my tongue back in my mouth as I watched him prance around in his jammie bottoms. Yowsa!

As for Mar and Aeeeda, all he did was substitute one demanding, difficult, scheming, socially conscious and bigoted gal for another. I was totally into the Big Dump. I guess Mar will finally get groovin' with Aurora at the medical conference because I'm sure she'll agree to go with him in the end.
 

E-marie: No, Hernan is only putting on a front to protect Espe from any more shenanigans from Ruben and his nasty family. He still hopes eventually Espe will accept his proposal because he loves both her and her baby.
 

Jar, throw Blu in the mix for Wednesdays or any other recapping. She, along with Anon207 and Sharkbyte, will do a fantastic job. Blu really stepped up to the plate and helped with Mi Pecado, she is a trouper. Emarie did a good job of getting us started yesterday, she might be game for helping too. I'll throw my hat in the mix if I ever get Univision back on "MY" TV, now I have nothing but extreme tiling and the baseball season is in full swing on the other TV, so I'm doing a lot of YouTube with no CCs. DRATS!

There is an issue with hypocrisy in the Teresa/Arturo "gettin' it on" conflict, BUT, Prof Hottie did actually sleep with Paloma AFTER marriage and he does need to do some penitence for that mistake! Having said that, it is just more economical in those expensive Madrid hotels to share a room and bed a la "It Happened One Night" with the walls of Jerico..... Our Rhett was good with Carole Lombard too!
 

Elvira great job with the recap.

I was cheering both our boys last night way to be manly and put your foot down when your woman is being bratty or just nasty and selfish to the extreme.

First to Arturo darn right he had every right to tell his little shark if she's not willing to at least try and attempt this reconciliation let's cancel the rest of this trip and go back home.

It's not the first time they played the Mariano/Teresa theme song for Teresa/Arturo while she is still in love with Mariano i do believe our little shark is gradually falling for her hot husband. Nice and sweet gesture on Arturo's part of picking her up from the couch and putting her to bed and sleeping there in her place.
 

Sandy, I love that you mentioned It Happened One Night. One of my favorite movies ever. I can't wait to see the walls tumble between our hunk Arturo and sharkette.
 

You guys have pretty much covered it all with Ruben and his self centered family. None of them have any boundaries and truly all three of them don't have one ounce of class. Mayra has the nerve to act as if how dare Hernan would try to call security on her of all people.

Ummmmm you're in the hospital and you're trying to harass a patient who can't be stressed out and upset because you're lying husband denies being the father of her child. Get over yourself truly i can't wait for this family to be destroyed.

My standing ovation goes to Mariano boy did he bring it last night he saw Aeeeeeeeeeeda at her worst and ugliest and now he knows what Teresa has been dealing with all of these years. How vicious and self centered she is and then she had the nerve to act like oh are you really breaking up with me?

Like she is some special prize to actually tell not one but two doctors you wish someone would die. Thank you Aeeeeeeeeda i hated you being with Mariano but i am so glad he found out your true colors and dumped you like you deserved.

Then after being dumped by Mariano because of your nastiness she has the nerve and beg Aurora to help her get back with Mariano.

I'm going on record even if Mariano takes her back it's only temporary why? Because Aeeeeeeeeda can't stop with her obsession whether it's Teresa 24/7 it's now Espe and her baby.He's going to be weary and tired of her rants and i have seen him look like that when she is on her rants from time to time anyway.

Bravo also to Mariano for laying into Ruben what a total loser and he deserves to be flogged and castrated. This is how a real man acts and Mariano who acted like such a little boy being lead around by Teresa and her schemes finally grew into his big boy pants last night. This episode was so good i'm going to watch it again before Monday's new epsiode.

Who let that harpy into Espe's room? It looks like she is trying to make Espe have a miscarriage by grabbing her. So remind me again what is so likable about this shrewish harpy other than when she is giving it to her father. Once again she is showing she can't restrain herself from being physical with another person. But remember she is suppose to have class.
 

Jardinera,
" I had to stop a number of times to remind myself to stick my tongue back in my mouth as I watched him prance around in his jammie bottoms. Yowsa" You had me laughing out loud with that one! I Totally Agree!!

I too believe Teresa is starting to see Arturo differently and starting to fall for him. OMG what woman wouldn't!!

Gees, Elvira, nothing bare bones about your recap. It was awesome and got it all.

Coming in late after doing mid-year reviews with some of peeps today. Tiring, but good. Enjoyable to read all the comments from everyone. Boy we sure had a lot to digest last night.

I will just ditto ditto ditto everyone's reaction to the stupid audacity of the Rubic, his confused wife and most of all Her Royal Highness of Screechyville. Man did Mar get an earful and if he even remotely thinks about going forward with that shrew, I give up on him. The fact that after her tirade she was so astonished that he would break up with her shows me, and hopefully him, that she still thinks of him as the poor guy from the hood who should be thankful that a rich gal like her would give him the time of day.

Equally worse is enlisting Aurora to help get him back. I hope he opens up to Aura and lets her know what was really said.

If this Madrid trip (I am so jealous) is a turning point for Art and Terror, mama's blessing gives a turning point for Louisa and Fer to start sharing towels, let's hope it's also a turning point to get Mar and Aura together. Could care less who Aida winds up with.

Oh, and I love Dr. Hernan. Espe doesn't want him, send him my way.
 

Elvira, just read the second half and kudos to you for being able to recap this extremely shrieky episode. It's hard enough to understand when they're talking but with all this yelling going on, darn near impossible. Nice job!

Great title and after last night I also have a huge crush on Hernan. I guess I'll just have to get in line.

Jardinera, excellent point about Mariano substituting one harpy for another. It's time for Doc Hunkalicious to break this nasty pattern. Aurora to the rescue?

I can't remember the last time I saw a pair of jammie bottoms fit so nicely.
 

I TOTALLY agree about those jammie bottoms on Prof Hottie. Yowza!
 

Thanks, Elvira, and your recap was complete and entertaining...nothing barebones about it.

Aeeeeeda was irritating enough when she would just burst into the room and with no "excuse me's", take over the entire conversation...bad selfish manners. But last night she burst in again with the extra high volume screeching and screaming. If this doesn't scare Mariano off, nothing will.

Yes, Arturo certainly looked hunkalicious last night even with his man purse. Hopefully his hotness and consideration are melting Tere's icecold heart a little.

GinCA
 

Oops. considerateness.

GinCA
 

Thanks for your recap Elvira. Yes, Hernan is the man! I just hope he ignores IDIOT Johnny; oh, I could slap him.

I'm so psyched that Mariano broke up with Aida. I hope it is for realz this time. As others have noted this family wins for the most self-centered psychos I've seen in a TN; usually one person is the family has some sanity.

And thanks for all those recapping the past week. For the next few weeks I'll be in the UK doing research and I got behind between travel and jet lag.

Finally, Sandy in "It Happened One Night" its Mr. Gable and Claudette Colbert. Lombard was his real-life wife who tragically died in a plane crash.
 

My jaw just about hit the floor at Aida's death wish for the baby. But it was going to take something like that to make Mariano run from her. Aida is a long way from redemption.
 

Karen, thanks.........yes, Claudette Colbert was in "It Happened One Night" not Carole Lombard, Clark Gable's real life wife who died tragically selling WWII war bonds.......
 

Professor Hottie was cute last night!! Shark babe doesn't deserve him! Que Lastima. Thanks recappers, love this site!
 

Awwww c'mon, now. I know we're all girls, but Teresa is pretty darn cute in her piyamas too. Cheeky!
 

No she was pretty in her Victoria Secret it's her b!tchiness turning down to sleep with that hotness in his perfectly bottom jammies we have a issue with.

When she is pouting and got her upset face when he is trying so hard to win her back she needs to at least try.
 

Terrific recap! as usual I appreciate all those who recap and
the passionate viewers who make such great comments.

As I wrote earlier, I am a one-man woman, and Mariano certainly again last night proved his worth. I like him because he is amazingly handsome, physically fit,extremely hard-working,and idealistic with regard to helping those less fortunate.

I had hoped he would dump Teresa after her performance at his graduation party ... and other times too, but I guess it's difficult to get free of esa embra.

I'm hoping as do many of you that
Magnificent Mariano will end up with Awesome Aurora. I don't think Teresa has given up trying to win back Mariano, but eventually, I believe she will be permanently excluded from his life
as he matures and gets over their long-time relationship and their young, passionate love where she could get away with a lot of inconsiderate actions.

For the future, I see Teresa hurting Louisa and ending up with Fernando. Prof. Hottie is just a little too stuffy for her. To be sure, she was wronged by him, but simultaneously thrilled and empowered by his transgression.

I told you that I am watching Destilando Amor, and at this time,
Fernanda Castillo, the actress who plays Louisa in Teresa has come into prominence in DA as the sister
of Rodrigo Montalvo, Daniela, who is trying to expose the corrupt dealings of cousin Aarón and hoping to restore the relationship of Rod & Gaviota which is now in shreds. In DA Fernanda Castillo
has dirty blonde, very straight hairwith pink highlights - fitting for her role as a dancer. With either hair color or style, she is very cute with gorgous, expressive eyes.

Thanks again to all.
(Sandy, how are your little grandsons?)
 

Elvira: Definitely a superb second half! Thanks again!

SandyTN/Blusamurai/E-marie: My apologies for not including any or all of you in my request earlier. I had honestly thought that the offer had been made early on prior to the TN's starting and folks had decided against it and told Melinama. Sorry to "assume" like that!

We have approximately 50more episodios which generally would account for 10 more Wednesdays. SandyTN, come on down! Will you do next Wed's recap? Let me know which weeks you're available for.

Whoever else here wants to join in the fun, let me know and we'll set it up!
 

Floridia, it is so nice when you pop in for a minute. Where are you watching DA? I'd love to see "Luisa" just for a minute with her lighter, streaked hair. 

I enjoyed your take on Mariano. For me the over-riding thing about him is his super honorable character. He didn't break up with Aida because of their social issues, but because of their differing view of life. Aida wishes  Espe's baby dead, that was too harsh for  Mariano to accept. There are many capitulos left, my guess is that he will backslide some then FINALLY see  into Aurora's purer heart..... but viewerville will suffer a little more before it is all over.

OT: Floridia, my two grandsons are great, but needed a little "time out" today for.......excessive potty humor, remember that phase?  Blessings to you and your family, come back soon...

Jardinera, I'm not available next week and need to have new cable wire pulled in my house anyway, won't bore everyone with details, maybe a later date.  Blu,  Anon207, Sharkbyte, Emarie.....anyone? 
 

Elvera, thanks for the recap! I'm a little late joining the comments.

Actually, I was just settling in and cranking up the compu when I realized no Teresa tonight! Bummer! Think I'll also watch last night's episode again.

Hooray for Mariano! We're finally seeing a more mature side of him. First, he turns away from Teresa before her trip and now he calls out Aeeeeeeda for her boorish behavior. It's about time! I'm sure we haven't seen the last of this pairing. Oh, how could I forget to mention when he went to Ruben's office? I thought for sure he was gonna lose it and get in trouble again but he held his own and behaved admirably.

Just what is Mayra hoping to gain by talking to Espe? If Espe confirms her fears, then what? On the other hand, if she denies it, Mayra won't believe it, so what's the point? So glad Hernan was there to protect Espe.

Now I want to go to Spain! sigh.

ITA with all the comments about the hottie in the jammie bottoms. Hubba, hubba! Like my bro-in-law says, "tanto pan duro, y yo sin dientes!" (all that firm bread and me with no teeth) Love that saying.
 

Frances, that is a great dicho. I'm going to use it for one of my Dichos of the Day on a future recap...unless someone else beats me to it that it. First come first served with the good ones I say.
 

Great recap, nothing bare bones about it !

What a fantastic episode I can't wait for Monday. WOW Art looked great without his shirt on, and I agree with Blue Lass that Teresa is pretty hot in her little jammies ! I hope they have a little romance on this trip!

This TN is not very steamy, I would gladly "suffer" through a shower scene of Artie or Fer ! Why do Colunga and Levy get them and not these hot men??!!! So NOT FAIR !

I like Louisa but find her a bit boring and serious for Fernando. I would like her to end up with Martin and Tere with Fernando. She would give him all the excitement he craves.

I haaaaaate Aieeeeeeeda ! So happy Mariano and seen her for the loud selfish, rude, crazy person that she is...hurray!

I thought when Aurora gave Mariano the business card she said there was a conference in Cancun that he should attend and meet up with some special organization that could help him. And Mariano replied that he will only go if she went along with him ???? am I wrong? But if so I bet Nosey Or-ranta will see them there together...something for her to tell Teresa when she returns...
 

Elle, did you miss the scenes in Cancun? Arturo in bathing trunks...

Unlike most novelas -- which are about steamy romance and the obstacles to Felices Para Siempre -- this one is about greed. Teresa is the embodiment of "You marry for money, you pay for it for the rest of your life."

She would never be in love with Fernando, but with his bank account. Since he is less emotionally vulnerable than Arturo, he'd figure this out pretty quickly and give her the heave-ho.

I want to go back to Spain...
 

Fernando needs to stick with his first impression and settle down with Luisa. Mama could remind him that when it comes to Teresa, all that glitters is not gold" or whatever the Spanish equivalent dicho might be.....
 

Frances,

I love that saying! I had only heard the one for women, "tantas curvas, y yo sin frenas" (so many curves, and I without breaks). This one for men is a keeper.

Yes, this is a different kind of novela. No lovers being kept apart, other than Mariano and Aurora. Plus we've had good girls have sex with guys they likely won't end up with in the end (Aurora and Luisa).

I love Luisa! And before Teresa starting laying it on thick with Fern, Luisa and Fern had fun together. It's he that is now more serious with her and less playful now that he's always thinking about Teresa. She senses something is wrong and it's made her more insecure and questioning their relationship, his feelings, and what steps she should take to fix things. She has no idea what she's actually competing with. If Fern dumps Luisa for Teresa, he will regret it once he figures out what Teresa is all about. Hopefully, Luisa will be long gone and with someone else at that point.

Yes, I admit Teresa looked good in her jammies too, and Art appreciated it.

Elle- You're right. The contacts Mariano should meet will be at the conference in Cancun. I REALLY hope Mar and Aurora go together. But I could totally see Aida forcing him to bring her as she is now the head of public relations for the foundation. Ugh!

Hi Floridia! So glad you dropped in.
 

Jardinera / Sandy,

I'll throw my hat in the ring and do the Teresa recap for this Wednesday, July 13. My plans for the following week (July 20) are up in the air, but I'll confirm my availability as that date gets closer.

SharkByte
 

Watching Oriana makes one realize what makes a man into a womanizer: He's afraid that getting close to a woman will turn her into his mother!

Seriously, Fernando needs to figure this out.

Arturo's infidelity is less serious in view of the fact that he was blitzed when it happened and Paloma took advantage of him. We know, though, that Teresa knows this and is only using the situation as an excuse.

Aida needs to grow up and Esperanza needs a restraining order.

Shark Byte: Okiedokie!! Thanks a bazillion! I will be traveling and incognito from early Tues. till Wed. night but should be able to get the post up for you first thing on Thurs. morning. If something...er...unforseen happens, Cap'n Sylvia, Vivi, Paquita, Elvira, Kristoise, Julia or SandyTN can probably handle it for you as they are all OH!ficial RWPP's, je je. (Recappers With Posting Privileges) Melinama now will have to make you one too! ?: ? )

You will need to get a gmail e-mail address and use it to contact her
caray@mappamundi.com

In fact I'll let her know to expect it. Thanks again!
=============

Sandy just let me know if and when you're back on the cable/CC track. Thanks again!
 

Sandy, DA is on Univision in south
Florida at 1:00 AM...one hour later than the old time of LVO. I usually record it. I have Comcast -if that makes a difference. Also, the old recaps of DA from 2007 can be found through Caray's sidebar. Our current dates coincide fairly closely - if you have acces to this, you could check out July 7th - "Immaculate Deception." Daniela (Fernanda C.) is trying to get to the root of the evil doings in the Montalvo Tequila corporation. Additionally,there is a pregnancy being pawned off on the protagonist - this time via artificial insemination, but it was "in fact" by sleeping with a sleazy neighbor.
 

I love the "all that glitters is not gold" saying referring to Teresa, perfect Jardinera.

When Teresa was teary eyed thinking about all the beautiful things she was seeing without Mariano, I couldn't help but think of all the young woman in this world who are in the same situation. Beautiful woman who marry for money are everywhere, wealthy famous men seem to have gorrgeous younger arm candy. Makes me wonder if these women like the latest Mrs Trump get sad about it too.

Teresa at least has a handsome , sweet older rich hubbie
just thinking out loud...!
 

Sharkbyte, good for you for recapping next Wednesday! Like Jardinera said, any of us will be happy to post for you if you need it.
 

Sylvia Sharkbait / Jardinera,

I contacted Melinama, but just in case I need your help to post the recap for me, how do I get in touch with you to send you the recap?
 

You can email me:
sseaberg@gmail.com
 

Thanks Sharkbait, I got with Melinama and I'm all set up.

SharkByte
 

Great news SharkByte! (Hee, it's fun having another Shark in the tank.)

I look forward to reading your debut on Wednesday.
 

Great recap Elvira!

Sucker or not, Arturo is yummy lol.

Gah, I also wish I could go to Spain. Maybe some day.

I should be working right now but the talk about blond and dancing Luisa/Fernanda Castillo made me remember her on stage a couple of years ago full of attitude as María in Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar.

Jarocha
 

Jarocha, that is an awesome clip! Leave it to you to always come up with these delectable tidbits.

Shame on us both. I should be working too! Back to the power point presentation for me, boo hoo...
 

Jarocha, enjoyed the clip. Now I'm remembering the grit Luisa showed to protect Art from Paloma. She's going to need this if/when Ter/Fer betray her and Art. My word verification: "trouth."
 

Jarocha, I too enjoyed the clip of FC. I hardly recognized her. I love the way a relatively small cadre of actors play so many diverse roles. Are you still in DC?

IF anyone wishes to see Angelique Boyer as a platinum blonde, she can be seen Sunday mornings on Univision in "Muchachitas Como Tu." I just happened to catch it
this morning. This show aired in Mexico in 2007 and in the US in 2008. Many of you probably already know it. It was a remake of the E. Larrosa production of "Muchachitas" from 1991. I'm not familiar with either one,but may start recording and watching it in my leisure time.

Some of your favorite people are in it: Fabian Robles as a VILLAIN,
no less, and also Claudia Troyo
as a villain. I have previously seen her as amazingly sweet and kind. Other favorites - Marco Mendes and Arturo Carmona.

You'd think we have limitless time to watch novelas ..I justify
all of this viewing to learn Spanish, and it really does help, but one can go overoard.

A news program I find most valuable is Al Punto with Jorge Ramos on Sunday mornings at 10.00.
It's kind of like the Latin version of Meet the Press.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend.
 

Jarocha: Well, that girl can definitely dance! Thanks for finding the clip and linking it to us.

====================
SharkByte: you can reach me at jardinera654@gmail.com

We all look forward to reading your recap, and thanks again for offering!
 

Thanks for the recommendations, Florida! I, too, am brushing up on my Spanish, and I've made lots of progress already.
 

¡BIENVENIDO SHARKBYTE!
Bravo for taking a Stab at things.

How do I get to your profile?
 

Reminder someone mentioned that Teresa wasn't going to be shown for Tuesday but i see it's listed to be shown at 7pm for those who live on the east coast. So it's CME at 6pm followed by Teresa at 7pm tomorrow.
 

Thanks Blulsamurai. Checked my listings for West Coast. It's scheduled for 9pm on Tuesday. That's as of right now. Who knows, Univision always messes with the schedule.
 

Frances and Blu, my schedule agrees with the schedule Frances sees. She's right though, if the futbol game goes over then both CME and Teresa might be pushed out. We'll have to be ready for anything...as usual.
