Teresa Thu 7/28/11 #106 A matter of VIPs
Let's see what’s happening tonight in the DF, shall we?
First we get a replay of Armando’s mugging by Maldito Fito el Bandito [MFB; love that one Vivi! I also really liked Frito Bandito, even if it was a typo GinCA ;-) ]
Chez Luisa: Odiana stops by Luisa’s to look at wedding dress and name drop about her rich and famous friends; friends who will soon be Luisa’s as well—after the engagement party in Ibitha. Teresa arrives and Odia snobbily tells her about the engagement party plans.
Calle: A stunned and shaky Armando comes to and realizes that he is bleeding.
Chez Luisa: Tere is stoked that Luisa has told Odia that she will be the wedding madrina and can’t wait to start on the boda preparations, but O quickly bursts her bubble by telling her that she is no way coming to the Ibitha party. Apparently her ghetto still shows too much, as evidenced by her drug-dealing friends. Ter starts to explain, but O isn’t interested and tells her to get lost. However, Luisa shocks Odia by sticking up for Ter. Score one for Tiburoncita.
Ter and Odia argue about the drug dealing misunderstanding and putting Luisa in the middle of it all [entre la espada y la pared; between a rock and a hard place (lit. the sword and the wall); a favorite dicho of these writers, it seems]; Ter graciously bows out of the wedding so as not to cause problems for Luisa and scores major points with Luisa, and viewerville is treated to a major Tibursonrisa.
Chez Barrera: Arturo is on the phone discussing the Very Important Papers when Armando stumbles in. Arturo is mostly concerned about Armando’s health, but does get a little impactado when he hears about the missing VIPs.
Armando tries to apologize for losing the papers, explaining the whole mugginess of the encounter, but Arturo won’t hear it—he just wants Armie to see a doctor and not worry about the VIPs. Juana comes down stairs and commences the most incompetent first aid ever. Meanwhile, Arturo calls “Lopez” and asks for more time with the VIPs. Lopez doesn’t seem very accommodating by Art’s reaction.
Hallway de Fernando: As Tiburoncita leaves Luisa’s, she smells Fernando’s blood in the air and immediately strikes a woebegone pose by the potted palm. She couldn’t possibly tell him what’s bothering her so much, but she certainly can lean in for some comfort! She tearfully tells him her planned boda abdication. Her tears turn sultry though when she says it’s out of love for the happy couple, and emphasizes his half of it--“no sabes cuanto he llegado a apreciarte” (you don’t know how much I have come to appreciate/value you). Fer goes for it hook, line, and sinker. They assure each other that he (and Luisa) loves Teresa. Ter only wishes his mom would appreciate her as much as he does. Bit full of herself today, no?
Chez Luisa: Luisa is very upset about Ter not being in the wedding, Odia isn’t so much bovvered. Odia also accepts no blame for the situation (“es mas fuerte que yo”; it’s stronger than me), acting as though she did not in fact cause the entire situation. Fer comes in and also takes the Tiburonside. Odia brings up the drug dealing accusation again, and Luisa and Fer head out to hear Ter’s side of the story. Odia just looks perplexed at those kids’ inability to see the writing on the vecindad wall.
Chez Juana: Esperanza tells (ummm, which to choose?) Crapberto about Hernan being mad and not answering her calls; Craps offers to take a note to the hospital for her and laments Juana’s continuing relationship with ‘doctor panzon’ (Dr. Belly). Espe sends Craps to get some food for her cravings (antojo) and gets a call from Juana, presumably with the mugging news.
Chez Caceres: Mariano and Aida cuddle on the couch and Aida tells Mari about getting the Luna Turquese shares, which of course leads the conversation to the rrrrrrrrata de vecindad. Mari pulls away and Aida for the first time in her life realizes that someone didn’t care for the way the she chose to express her opinion. Mari explains that he’s from the vecindad and doesn’t think he’ll ever be up to her ‘level’; but Aida says she’s never cared about these monetary difference (huh? did I miss an amnesia episode?)
Mari thinks the money would be an issue if they got more serious, and Aida latches onto this as the reason he is hesitant to commit. He deflects her request to get more serious by saying that they are still getting to know each other and changing the subject to Rubigote. Aida is feeling a weensy bit softer towards him and is going to visit him in jail.
Chez Barrera: Juana continues to demonstrate her poor training in first aid as Armando worries about the VIPs. Art is on the phone with “Lopez” and things are not looking good. But he still manages to worry about Armie’s health and suggests an xray. Perhaps just a better bandaid would suffice. Ter comes in and immediately rushes to her father’s side. She is ready to whisk him away to a hospital until he mentions the missing VIPs. She is way more upset about this than Artie. Juana helpfully suggests they just print a new copy, but apparently the VIPs are super duper gold plated special originals. She’s freakeando to Art and he reminds her that the important thing is that her dad is ok. She tries to take that in, but can’t get past the VIPs. Refugio rushes in to her ‘viejo’ and the Tiburoncell rings. Who do you think that could be? Why yes, it’s our favorite MFB! He tells her she made a big mistake by calling the cops on him, and he wants cash for the VIPs. She can’t believe it was him that robbed her dad—she must be under the delusion that there are other thugs in Mexico City. Guess there isn’t a lot of time left in her day for watching telenovelas. Anyway, we don’t hear a number, but by the Tiburoncara, it looks like MFB is asking for a bundle. She agrees but is muy, pero muy, upset. Much more so than at the thought of her dad being mugged.
Luisa and Fer come in as Ter rejoins the gang. Ter hustles her parents off to take them home (i.e. meet with MFB). Luisa asks Art what’s up.
Chez Caceres: Looks like Mariano has left and Aurora has come over to dish with Aida about Martin. She doesn’t really want to go into the whole thing though. Aurora is taking a very positive attitude after the Vanesssssa business about appreciating the good in life, and Aida agrees (‘hay que hacer a un lado las cosas malas’; you have to put aside the bad things). She tells Aur about going to see her dad; Aur approves.
Aida is annoyed, though, that she can’t go over to Mariano’s without seeing the brother of that gata. Aur, of course, thinks it’s super swell that Mariano is being so super swell to Johnny of the Little Brain. It’s just how SuperMariano is, and Aida best get used to helping out the vecinfolk if she wants to stick around. Even if he lives in El Castillo de Chapultepec (an actual castle in Mexico City) now, he won’t forget his peeps from the hood. Of course, Aida has a final complaint. Johnny’s residence meant that Teresa came over to talk to him. Aur and Aida agree that Ter still loves Mari. Regardless, she wants to separate Aida from him.
Chez Barrera: Art is getting heated on the phone, presumably with Lopez. Then he grills Luisa about Odia being mean to Tiny Ter. Luisa starts to explain about the drug dealing amigo, but Juana comes in and explains the whole situation for the benefit of the assembled company and those viewers who have been traveling a bit these past few weeks. Fer pledges his support for Ter. Luisa tells Art about Ter bowing out of the wedding.
Art is livid about Odia’s odious behavior. Juana defends her ahijada. Fer is totally on Team T. Luisa just feels bad about the whole situation. Art takes the opportunity (?) to bring up the importance of the missing VIPs.
He explains that if he loses the case, he has to pay all of Saenz’ debts and will lose everything. Luisa pledges to come to his aid (including financially), as does Fernando (presumably not financially, but who knows).
Garage somewhere: Ter looks around nervously and MFB grabs her with a gun. She gives him the dinero and begs him not to hurt her. He threatens her but eventually gives her the VIPs. He runs off and she starts to frantically go through the folders. Oh no!! Some are missing. But MFB is already gone! What’s a shark to do??? Yes! She even says maldito Fito.
Vecindad: Refugio, Armie, and Ter have made it home. Ref and Armie are relatively upbeat with his recovery and all, but Ter is way agitated because of the VIPs. Ref doesn’t understand how just some papers can cause Art to lose all his money. Clearly Refugio is too low class to understand about the importance of papers. But you see, these papers are Very Important. Understand? Armando asks his daughter to forgive him for losing the papers, but she says ‘el perdon no sirve para nada’ (forgiveness doesn’t serve any purpose). Ouch, that’s cold. She is major stressed about Art losing his dinero, but her mom points out that they she and Art will still have each other. That doesn’t count for much in Tiburonlandia. As god as her witness, she will never count pesos again!!
Of course, Ter says she will help Arturo, that’s what she was doing by preparing the VIPs. Ref suggests that the VIPs went missing as a test (presumably proctored by El Senor) for Teresa. She, who once failed to stand by her man (Mariano) for lack of dough, will now have to stand by a penniless Arturo. Ter pretends that is what she meant all along—that she needs to figure out how to help Art. Ref peps up at the thought of the two young, can-do lawyers making their way in this crazy world, but Tiburoncita clarifies that she meant what she, herself, could do, and starts mumbling about getting closer to Fernando. Ref asks what the heck she is talking about, and Ter explains about Odia odia-ing her, but that she will change all that. And Fernando WILL help her husband, y mucho. Now that’s the girl we all know and love.
She takes her leave after once more blaming her dad for the loss of the VIPs as a parting shot. He is devastated by her shabby treatment of him.
Chez Mariano: Mariano finds a Tiburonscarf on his couch and flashes back to the lady herself. Pati interrupts his reverie and sticks her foot in her mouth several times re: Teresa, Aida, Johnny, etc. She feels bad about causing him troubles, but SuperMariano says ‘no biggie’.
Chez Barrera: Odia visits Art in his study. He totally lays into her about her treatment of Teresa. Oh snap! Odia can’t believe his blindness to Teresa manipulations. He tells her she is no longer welcome chez Barrera.
Odia is hurt that he believes Ter over her. Art thanks her for her past friendship, but says he just can’t tolerate her behavior towards T. Odia says she’ll go, but first she’s gonna spill all she knows—Teresa was going to marry Mariano for love, but married Arturo for money instead. Art ain’t biting, and defends Ter’s love for him. Odia thinks he’ll change his tune when Ter gets back together with Mari. That really sets Art off. He can’t doubt her love after she forgave him for the PatPal affair. “Easier to forgive when there’s no love” says O. That’s pretty much the limit for Art. He ends this and all future conversations. Odia points out that a) Luisa, Fer, and the boda are still in the middle of them and b) she doesn’t have a problem with Arturo, so why the big deal. Art tells Odia that she is the one stopping their friendship, not him, so if she wants to continue a relationship with him, since he and Ter are together, she will have to apologize to Ter first. Good for you Artie! Way to stand up to the Odia. And I’m glad somebody pointed out that she is the one causing the problem here.
Chez Mariano: Johnny is getting stir crazy chez Mariano. Mar suggests he use his free time to study ………………………………………………………………………………
oh, I’m sorry, I fell off my chair for a second there. Johnny? Study? What a riot. I had no idea Mariano was such a comedian.
Restaurant: Aurora and Martin and Mariano and Aida are on a double date (they are AMMA!! When are they going to start singing?). Some shop talk about Luna Turquesa, foundation stuff, lots of cutesy flirting. Martin clearly smitten with Aurora. Apparently, she and Mariano have some new proposal approved that will keep them busy with foundation work. They all toast and Martin says “a los ojos, a los ojos” as he looks at everyone. This reminds me of a friend who is insistent that you look someone in the eye when you say cheers and clink their glass. I am not sure where she got this from, but apparently Martin has heard about it too.
In all the foundation talk, the adoption plans of Rootsie come up and Aida explains how she wanted another hijo after Paulo died. Everyone seems to think it’s a weird idea. That’s probably because it’s a weird idea.
Chez Barrera (the new, improved, Odia-free version): Ter is stoked to hear that Art kicked Odia to the curb. Fer and Luisa support his decision too. Art tells Ter how Odia tried to besmirch her rep with talk of not loving Art, but he wasn’t fooled. They smooch, and Ter reminds him that it’s very important to her that he put her above all else. Really? I hadn’t noticed. Anyway, they move on to talk about he Saenz case. They are worried about the ‘fallo’ (verdict). Art says he feels better knowing that, no matter what happens, even quiebra (bankruptcy; will we be hearing more of this new word in the coming weeks?), she will still be by his side. Right? She reassures him as the jaws theme plays.
El Club, next day: Luisa and Fer discuss the Odia situation. They agree that Art did the right thing in dealing with Odia (new dicho for me: le poner en alto, ‘put a stop to her’ according to the internets), but Luisa still feels bad about it all. Fer cheers her up with wedding talk.
Luisa leaves and Odia arrives all in a state about Ter playing the victim and getting O banned from chez Barrera. Fer says he feels the same way—indignant and mad. She is happy to hear that, until he drops the bomb—he agrees with Arturo, not her! O can’t believe he wouldn’t support his mom. He tells her to get with the Teresa program or he will cut her off too. Though he claims it’s for Luisa’s sake.
Chez Genoveva: Rootsie shows some Luna Turquese promotional material to Art and Ter. Art gets a call and has to go. Roots drops her nice façade the second he’s gone.
Aida arrives and now it’s Rootsie’s turn to get a convenient phone call to take her out of the room. Ter and Aida engage in their favorite game. Ter harasses Aida about the scandal of her dad’s incarceration, and Aida informs Ter that she is her new socia. Oh my, that is one pissed off Tiburoncara.
Avances: The judgment is in and it doesn’t look good. I think we’re looking at our first incidence of TN osicide.
Also, folks, the avances said ‘next Tuesday’; so it looks like we are getting a couple days off.

Awesome, funny recap Kristoise! A lot of funny moments but some of my favorites - the abbreviated knickname "Craps" for our dear friend Crapberto. I laughed out loud at your take on Johnny studying, and Teresa "smelling Fernando's blood in the air" - that was very cool!
"Entre la espada y la pared; between a rock and a hard place (lit. the sword and the wall); a favorite dicho of these writers"
I think the dicho is : contra la espalda y la pared literally meaning between your back and the wall. Espalda means back. Espada means sword. The two words are so closely sounding. And they say it all the time
Jarocha, which one is it?

"She must be under the delusion that there are other thugs in Mexico City." JAJAJA.
Rats; now I have AMMA in my head singing, "The lights were bright Fernandoooooo." (Or should it be, "The tights were tight"?)

Kristoise- You were on fire last night! What a funny recap!
I liked Refugio's vision of Art and Ter, two young lawyers, building their business together from scratch. Ter, not so much. I thought it hilarious that Armando totally couldn't take the treatment Ter routinely dishes out to Refugio. "She didn't even kiss me goodbye!" Uhm, she didn't kiss Ref goodbye and she hardly ever does. Welcome to Ref's world Armando.
Fito really is maldito. He gets his money and still screws Ter over by stealing some of the VIPs.
Loved all your nicknames for everyone. Rootsies made me laugh because some co-workers and I used to call an old odious boss Roots because she had the same kind of hair as Geno. It must be a look. I mean, how can your roots always be showing, unless you choose to look that way?
Art had so many things to juggle-- concern for his FIL, the lost VIPs, browbeating Lopez for more time, breaking the news of the possible lost patrimony to Luisa, and putting Odiosa in her place for disrespecting his woman. I think he handled each of those with the right level of concern, even though there were so many.

Love it Kristoise. YOur spin on Mariano's study suggestion to Johnni - perfection.
Kinda glad that O got put in her place - whether we all know about the little Terror or not, her blatant ideas on "social class" are just too much for me. Do feel sorry for Luisa as she is getting caught in the middle of all this, but then again, she better get use to it because I think she's in for heartache much bigger. If Art loses the case (and does anyone think he will win? - didn't think so), we just know where our little Terror will start looking next.
And once again Mariano gives Aeeeeddaaa the "we're just getting to know each other" speech. I suggest he put that on a recorder, then he can just push the button and relax with a cool drink while it plays. Save his energy.
Have a great weekend all - out of town guests coming in and it's pouring rain, muggy and hot. Watching plans wash into the gutter with the rain. This will be fun...

anon-thanks for the dicho feedback. i always thought it was espalda as well when i heard it, but last night i had the cc's on and saw the 'espada' (a new word for me; clearly i don't watch enough of those old timey TNs). i can't vouch for the dicho beyond 'spanishdict.com', so i would love to hear a more knowledgeable voice weigh in.
blue lass--how could i have missed the fernando/AMMA connection? maybe this group will do a whole series for all the galans of the show--we've got your 'the tights were tight, fernaaaaaando'; how about 'the hair was high, mariaaaaaaano'; 'the neck was tight, martiiiiiino', 'the pecs weren't right, artuuuuuro'.
(my husband is convinced he has pec implants)
vivi-good point about arturo's appropriate handling of the various crises last night. and what be said about Rootsie's roots? i love me some crazy hair in general, but she's gotten out of control.

AMMA, brilliant! So many lyrics came to mind but of course "Fernando" is the best. I like your stylized lyrics, what a hoot.
Kristoise, thanks for using freakeando, one of my favorites.
Also thanks for explaining "A los ojos". I couldn't figure out what Martin was doing, getting all bug-eyed like that. Funny toast.
Too funny about Johnny studying. Poor Johnny just looked so confused when Mariano said that.
Awesome recap Kristoise, simply hilarious all the way through.

Kristoise: What a LOL a minute recap! Thanks for making my morning! "Johnny? Study? What a riot. I had no idea Mariano was such a comedian." Yep!
It is definitely espada. Between the sword and the wall. A very common saying. Having your back against the wall is a different dicho.
Kristoise what a funny and hilarious recap thank you.
Mariano suggesting that Johnny study who knew he was such a kidder. I guess that's his polite way of saying you are such a complete dumba$$ getting involved with MFB and Gemma do us all a favor start reading some books and smarten up a little.
Aeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeda still does not get it her usual rants about La Rata de vecindad is not the thing to say in front of Mariano even if it's about Teresa. She is so getting dumped better start waking up harpy you're not picking up how reluctant Mariano is to making a formal and official commitment to you yet? No harpy you will never convince him to change and evolved into your idea man like forgetting his roots where he came from or the people he grew up with. I know you won't change despite the helpful advice Aurora gave you.
Odiosa Oriana this woman wow she is just so rude and snobbish.
Bravo and cheers to Arturo for sticking up for his little shark. Not only did the little mouse who roared had the nerve to voice her objection to Odiosa Oriana treatment towards Teresa. Arturo put her snobby boorish rudeness finally in her place. She had the nerve to look like she has never been treated or called out on her rudeness before but even more shocked that Arturo banned her from his house until she apologized to his wife.
This old battle axe has some cajones thinking it's ok to roll up in someone's house like that and insult the woman of the house.Glad everyone called her out on her uncouth behavior and did not support her and her attitude. Including her own son.
Unfortunately because of the lost and crucial VIP that MFB didn't give back to Teresa it looks like Arturo loses everything. So now Teresa will be probably proving the Odious one correct in her assessment about her.

You are in rare form today Kristoise! I love your descriptions of Juana's bad first aid.
And between Blue Lass and your modified ABBA lyrics. Takes me back...
Loved the new Spanish frases.
Yeah, Johnny needs to do some studying, Mar. Big time. I think that train has left the station already.
Just a word about Odiosa, OK, she's a hopeless snob, (especially about Johnny and Goofberto) but let us examine what she was saying. Tere loved Mariano but instead married Arturo for his money...verdadero o falso? Will Arturo change his tune when Tere and Mar get back together? Does anyone not believe that? Anyone think Tere won't try to keep Mar and Art hanging while she goes after Fernando? Anyone think Tere cares about Luisa...AT ALL? Is Art blind to all of this, sí, o no? So, Odiosa is obnoxious, but quite correct about a lot of this.

Kristoise, thanks for the laughs. Loved your cracks about the first-aid administered to Armando, and "she smells Fernando’s blood in the air and immediately strikes a woebegone pose by the potted palm" - lol.
It was sweet to see Art defend Teresa so fiercely to Oriana. Nothing like a man standing by his mujer. It's a crying shaming everything Oriana said is true. Madame Oriana, you need to raise your game. Teresa is no ordinary arribista and your bullying and abject snobbery are backfiring.
Juana and then Refugio were so cute in trying to understand how these Very Important Papers could be so important. Teresa, nice job making your dad, who would make any sacrifice for you and just had a gun to his head, feel even worse about being robbed of the papers. If anyone's to blame it’s you because you knew Maldito Fito Bandito (luv the name) was hanging around the estate and looking to burn you.
Aida, Mar's been on the fence too long. It's time for you to give him an ultimatum – “either take this relationship to the next level or we're through.” I hope Aida does this soon because I'm ready for Mar to be a free agent - as a prelude to Aurora – and he’s too laid back to break up with Aida unless forced.

Loved the recap Kristoise and loved the "Rootsie" nickname for Gen as well.
Well, it seems Teresa is about to put her plan of seducing Fernando into high gear since the news doesn't look good per the previews, Arturo is now penniless, and Teresa has a conniption fit. She's going to throw him under the bus.
Loved a ticked off Arturo confronting Oriana of her horrid treatment of Teresa. She did put in some zingers that will make him rethink if Teresa did only marry him for his money.
Looks like Mariano is tiring of Aida nastiness about the people from the hood and will dump her soon.

Wonderful recap Kristoise! Too bad Margarita Magaña doesn't sing because the rest of the AMMA do, then they could perform Fernando and be a merry band. I guess they could trade Luisa for Aída since Fer Castillo does sing but Aída would definitely protest, loudly.
Kristoise guess on the dicho is actually right: "Entre la espada y la pared". It means between a sword and the wall and yeah, it is basically "between a rock and a hard place".
Poor Armando though, you are right Vivi, he can't handle the Refugio treatment. Men usually are more vulnerable when it comes to people who actually matter to them treating them harshly.
I like Genoveva's hair. It fits her somehow.

Too bad Tiburoncita didn't graduate from Hogwarts. She could just wave her wand and say "Acchio VIP!" and swoooooosh, the VIP would swoop back into her hands.
Loved, loved, loved Arturo giving it to Odiosa Oriana. She deserved every bit of this dressing down.
Thank you Kirstoise for a fantastic recap LOL all the way. "AMMA" -- what a hoot!

WAY TO GO ART!!!!! Even if your are wrong in your judgment of Teresa. He bravely defended his wife. He gave the old battleax a talking down and it seems no one has dared to do this before. Poor Art, pretty much the perfect man except where Tere is concerned. Though he earlier messed up with his Saenz obligations and Tere offered a solution, it is true that Ter is the immediate cause of Art's money problems with Fito taking the Saenz papers. She'll probably never fully realize it was her fault for all Art losing his money...blame Fito, blame Daddy, blame Art.
Love the snark, Kristoise. All you recappers have a great sense of humor much more than most of the TN writers. So far though, the Teresa writers have kept it out the ridiculous realm.. ahem...unlike some other. I don't watch it a lot but even the previews seem bad (not talking about the new Zepeda TN.)

ITA with Blusamurai and Emarie that Oriana, although a horrifying snob, is correct about Teresa.
It's too bad that Arturo has burned a bridge for nothing, and that the day may come when Oriana can give Arturo a big bowl of "I told you so."
Ok ladies, what is the deal with all the references to "AMMA"? I'll need someone to explain the joke to me. What is the connection between AMMA, the American Medical Marijuana Association, 70's pop group ABBA, and the telenovela Teresa?
Hmmm, I think I do understand... You kids are on drugs!

It's the first initials for the names of the couple that went out on the date. Aeeeeeeeeeeeeeeda,Mariano,Martin and Aurora so three of the actors can sing and are singers in real life except for the Aeeeeeeeeeeeeeda actress.

And the Swedish band ABBA got their name the same way: Anni-Frid, Bjorn, Benny and Agnetha. I'm just mentioning that in case SharkByte is, as I suspect, a wee bit younger than some of us.

OK, I see the AMMA reference in Kristoise's recap now, thanks for explaining, Blusamurai. I didn't know those actors were singers.
When I saw those four sitting there, I kept thinking that I wonder if they'll one day end up with each other's dates - Martin with Aida, and Mariano with Aurora.

SharkByte bite your tongue how in the world can you wish that harpy on good old Martin. I think some of us are hoping he ends with Luisa after she gets her heartbroken by Teresa and Fernando's betrayal.

"SharkByte bite your tongue..."
Hey Blusamurai, Sharks don't have a tongue per se, we have a "basihyal", which is a thick, relatively immovable piece of cartilage found on the floor of a shark's mouth. So your sentence should actually read:
SharkByte bite your basihyal :^)

Oh I hope Luisa stays with Fernando in the end. He sure is saying all the right things to her, even when no one is watching.
Martin may be just what Aida needs, but I still don't think Aurora deserves Mariano. She has some major growing up to do and I can't see that happening in 40 caps that remain.
Looks like Art loses the Saenz case according to Previews for Tuesday. (TdA is taking up 2 hours tonight and 2 hours Monday and our Teresa is the sacrificial lamb)
To me, it appeared Fern would help Art financially because he said it right after Luisa did.
I may be hoping against all odds, but I want Ter to realize Art is her medio naranja and stay with him. I'm hoping this crises will be her "aha moment" and fight to survive by Arturo's lado.
We only go to Cap 152 and we are already at 106. Not much time for new plots to unfold and resolve. I'm really wondering where the writers have gone with this....

Here's Ana Brenda singing with Yuri Detrás de Mi Ventana for anyone who might have not heard her before. She does have some pipes. It's funny how Yuri forgets her own song but Ana Brenda knows it by heart.
Diann: Aurora has been at Mariano's side helping him with his Teresa issues, with his Aída issues and with the clinic, she has simply being a very good friend of his. She does have to grow up from her mommy issues and become stronger but I don't think that makes her undeserving of Mariano. He has his own issues too.

I hate the idea of Arturo going bankrupt but that will be what it takes for him to see Tiburoncita's true colors.
I still don't think she loves Arturo.
For all that has happened Teresa hasn't changed a bit. No real compassion for her father and all she cares about is those papers. Why the hell weren't she and Arturo working at the office where all the relevant document originals would be?

Jarocha, cool youtube clip. You're right, Ana Brenda does have a set of pipes. What a talented young woman.
Wow, Ana Brenda can sing well; she sounds really good!
I heard she was going to be in another telenovela. Does anyone know which one and when it starts?

Yes, she is going to play the lead in "La Que No Podía Amar" from the same producer as Teresa. It starts on monday in México but I don't know when it will be shown on Univision.

ooh, great clip indeed. i had no idea that AMMA could actually sing, i was just going by initials!
(and now i've seen mar and aur on youtube, maybe i will have to google mr turtleneck)
thanks for the kind words, everyone; and thanks to several commenters for the feedback on the espada dicho. that's why we're here, after all ;-)
(or maybe it really is just to dish)

googling accomplished!!
turns out martin (rather, Patricio Borghetti) has had quite the singing career. never would have guessed what he was hiding under those high collars.
if anyone is interested

I wonder of AMMA would be something like this. Without Gloria Trevi and more male prescence of course.

Thanks, Jarocha and Kristoise, for the Patricio Borghetti links. I heard a few screams in the crowd and he does look much better in the videos than when he's channeling Barry Manilow. I think they are keeping him a little dorky looking in this novela so Aurora and Mariano can be together in the end. But it would be Martin if I had a vote.
