La Que No Podía Amar #12 Tuesday 1/17/12: Everybody's Talking a Lot

The bare minimum:
  • Ro-hell and Vainy are together again
  • Tia lies, cries, spies and pries.
  • David and Sin are officially an item.
  • Gus plans to file a complaint--until he gets the severance pay
  • Bruno uses his sketchy connections to get Gus out of the picture.
  • Bruno and Vainy have a minor falling out. 
  • Ro-hell and Ana Pau fight (quelle suprise)...oh and Miguel's job is in Ro-hell's hands.
  • Speaking of Miguel--he was given an important job to do at Romo Construction. Delivering valuable merchandise.
  • Everyone flapped their gums a lot, but seriously... not a lot happened.

The over and above:
Now that there is no bidnez dealings with her father, Ro-hell is more inclined to give his relationship with Vainy another go. Smoochies with a side of gagging recapper.

Weepy Ana Pau in a dress more appropriate for a 9 year old. Gustavo visits and wants to know what’s wrong. Tia has sacrificed soo much for Ana Pau and needs her help soooo much. She explains that Tia Mentirosa wants her to accept the devil’s deal, but she doesn’t want to. She doesn’t want to leave him or her family. Gus encourages her to take the job.

Roh-hell and Vainy suck face. She knew he still loved her! They talk about her divorce which is still in progress. She’ll do anything to be free and be with Ro-hell. Smoochies interrupted by the arrival of Elsa la Vaca and Sin. Vainy tells mommy that she and Ro-hell are gonna give it another try. La vaca knows Vainy never forgot Ro-hell…even left her husband, but isn’t all this a bit hasty? Vainy is sure everything will work out fine. Sin is elated. La vaca looks on and molests her brows a la Burnie.

Mentirosa and Bruno meet. Mentirosa is upset about what happened with Ana Pau. She confesses she heard him say he loves Ana and nothing would make her happier than for Bruno and Aan Pau to get married. Bruno reminds her that Ana Pau is going out with someone else. “But someone I don’t approve of!” Mentirosa says. Bruno wants to know who the guy is.

Gus wants Ana Pau to go back to the job. Yes, he loves her and would love for her to stay so they can see each other. She thinks she needs to continue to look for work, and with his sister’s help it will be easy. Gus drops the bomb that his sister heard about the incident at the club. Sis won’t be able to help. Tears and dramatic drumbeats.

It seems to Bruno that Ana Pau is pretty taken with dude. Mentirosa says she’s just young, innocent and dazzled (deslumbrada.) After Tia explains about the broken down bus and subsequent happenings, Bruno realizes that the two hardly know each other. Ana Pau is naïve and believes everything Gus says, but Tia thinks he’s irresponsible. He doesn’t even have a job! She explains where he used to work and how the boss fired him and talked badly about him (hablando pestes.) That’s why she wants to keep Ana Pau away from him. Bruno asks if she’s sure about that and she is completely sure. Bruno tells her not to worry. He’ll take care of Gustavo.

Ana Pau will look for work without Gustavo sister’s help. She’s upset that sis will think the worst of her. (I’m still agog at the dress. What was vestuario thinking?) She wants to get along with his sister because she knows how important it is to him. Gus is sure that once sis gets to know Ana, she’ll know who was right. Ana hopes so and asks Gus about his job search. No luck for him, either. Tough times blah blah. Take the job Ana, help your family we’ll make it work. Blah Blah Blech. Link to "their song" So beautiful.

Bruno has lifted a great weight off Mentirosa’s shoulders. He’s her hero. She praises. He payses. (She takes a peek in the wallet, too!) Tia Mentirosa wants to see Don Ro-hell to apologize for her sobrina’s idiocy.

Ana Pau, Squeaky D and Unibrow. in the park. Where’s Tia?; Gus talk; measurements for graduation dress and pep talk FF>>

Gus visits Esteban, but not to apply for permits. He tells Esteban he’s no longer with Romo Construction and he wants to file a complaint against the company.

Mentirosa is busy with her ledgers when Ana Pau comes home. Same convo different day: you know I love you; why did you quit? He was an ass; One should make sacrifices. Guilt trip. Tia changes the subject to Gus. You should be with Bruno. Tia knows best.

Esteban lets Gus know that making the accusation is serious. Romo could lose his license. Gus says that’s really not his intention he’s worried about the fisherman. If the water treatment isn't built properly the water will be polluted. No he doesn’t have proof. Plans could show that the project doesn’t conform to the law/isn’t up to code. When Gus has proof, Esteban is inclined to help. Boring. Don’t care. Fill in for me. Stopped listening. FF>>

Cheers for Ro-hell and Vainy. Puke. They talk about back in the day when Ro-hell and Vainy were together and Sin and Bruno were a couple. Bruno is just another employee now. Sin canoodles with David. David says what are we all going to do know that we’re all here? Vainy suggests dancing. Sure, Ro-hell says- I leeeerrrve dancing. ooops. Apparently footinmouth is contagious.

Bruno asks a sketchy guy for a favor. Sketchman wants to know how many favors he has to do before his debt to Bruno is done. Bruno reminds him he kept him out of jail and no other lawyer would have done what he did. Fine, says Sketchman. What do you want? Bruno explains there’s this guy he wants out of the way. Sketchman wants to know if it’s a "hospital for a few days" or "disappear off the map forever" job. Bruno weighs both options.

Gus’s job search didn’t go well today. Sis wonders if he’s upset about what she said about Ana Pau. Nah, he’s upset about everything: no work, no severance pay. Sis worries he won’t be able to pay the mortgage tomorrow. All her salary goes to helping the parents. He’ll go to the bank tomorrow and talk to them. Their parents taught them to get through anything without losing their humor or enthusiasm (or some such.)

Vainy tries to smooth things over with Ro-hell. More smoochies and recapper indigestion. Bruno arrives. Where the hell is David? Must be powdering his nose. Anyhoo, Bruno finds out that Vainy and Ro-hell are back together. Bruno takes David’s vacated seat and thinks it’s just like old times…until David returns and macks on Sin. Bruno is effectively put in his place.

Ana Pau calls Maria. They miss each other. Ro-hell stopped taking meds and doing exercises. M-grito on the phone. Tears and begging.

David and Unibrow: Unibrow is not getting fired, but folks gotta know David is boss and things get done his way. In response to Unibrow’s question: Yes, according to David el inge is as bad as he said. Unibrow is going to be sent on an important errand as a representative of the company. It could mean moving up in the company. Deliver this merchandise and get these papers signed. Drive carefully—the merchandise is very valuable. 20 hour trip. You leave tomorrow at noon.

Bruno and Ro-hell go over contracts. Bruno says he has some info on nurses, but it seems a waste of time now that Vainy is back in the picture. Ro-hell says Vainy is not the one to be taking care of him. Anyway, Vainy and Ro-hell’s relationship with her is none of Bruno’s business. As to Ana Pau, she still doesn’t want to come back, but Tia really wants to talk to Ro-hell. Ro-hell will let him know if he wants to see her.

Miguel wants to talk to Gus, but before he can, Gus talks him into going and getting the plans for the Boca del Cielo project. And when Miguel returns with the plans, David catches him and Gus red-handed in the middle of the handoff! David says no copies are to be given to Gus.

Bruno is surprised Vainy is back with Ro-hell. She's not. She knew he’d come back to her. Bruno mentions their little deal and wants an advance, but Vainy says if she’s the one who convinces Ro-hell to deal with her dad again…then Bruno shouldn’t expect a commission!

David and Gus: bidnez. bo-ring. The plans belong to the company. Don’t screw the fisherman over. Maybe David will reconsider. He'll give Gus the severance pay. No hard feelings. Sure. None…but I’m still filing a complaint. FF>>

Tia Mentirosa is being a drama queen. Ro-hell comes to visit. He knows about Ana Pau’s hard times. Think, Ana! Come back to Hacienda Hell-Fuerte. Lets start over. O-Ok, says Ana…but where’s my apology? Oh that's too much! Ro-hell yells. Here I am offering you a solution to your economic woes and you’re still looking for an apology. The apology is important for Ana…she has those pesky principles, ya know (btw—check out Tia stealing the scene in the background.) Ro-hell thinks he can buy people. Yup. ‘Cause everyone has a price. Ana doesn’t think so. Well, since she doesn’t want to take advantage of his offer he’s out. She just chucked her last chance in the garbage. Oh, and Miguel’s job depends on Ro-hell, too.

Bruno is not a happy camper. How can Vainy screw him over after all he did to help? He postponed meetings with the competition and kept Ro-hell from throwing her out the second time she came. Vainy is pretty sure she did most of the work and what little Bruno did isn’t worth the price he’s asking. Bruno should let her know if he needs anything now that she’s back with Ro-hell since it seems Bruno has lost his position with him. Bruno makes some vague threat about the day he quits and Vainy wonders why he hadn’t already quit years ago. Bruno leaves with a “think about what I said” (What the hell did he say?)

Ana Pau yells at Ro-hell. Ro-hell yells at Ana Pau. Do I really need to translate? She’s pissed about Ro-hell threatening Miguel's job. Ro-hell is just pissed. Srsly. They’ve been having the same “it’s injusto” argument and Ro-hell has been the same sexist a$$ for three weeks. The only difference is Tia is standing by freaking out. Ro-hell leaves. Tia yells at Ana Pau and races after Ro-hell. Tia begs Ro-hell to give her more time to convince Ana Pau to come back. And please don’t ruin Miguel’s job. We three are living off his salary. Ana Pau is just caught up in (Tia almost spills the Gus beans)… her graduation. She's sure Ana Pau will come back to the hacienda.  Ro-hell gets in his car. Tia runs to a public phone.

Unibrow on the street corner. Gus catches up to him and apologizes for putting him in that iffy situation. Uni-b wants to know why Gus even wanted the plans—To annoy the boss? Of course not, The boss is doing something bad, the proof of which is all in the plans…which Gus can’t take. Uni-B doesn’t know whom to believe. Gus insists David is the crooked guy.

David gives the plans to a new ingeniero…the new graduate Edgar-- who immediately points out that the water treatment part is not right. David tells him to correct the plans and they’ll talk later.

Gus finds out Miguel is Ana Pau’s brother…and that as a brother, he has his doubts about Gus as novio material. If you found out your sister’s boyfriend was run out of the office for possibly crooked dealings (tranzas) and later said novio asks you to pilfer plans, what would you think? Gus suggests they go for a drink and discuss it.

Tia and Bruno scheme. Bruno has got to get Gus out of the picture no later than graduation day.

Blergh. Gus and Esteban again. Gus informs Este that David will give him severance pay and will reconsider. Este says they can’t do anything then. Gus hopes the project will be built as it should. Esteban is determined to supervise the construction even more carefully. Gus agrees. What’s built may be completely different than what’s on the plans. Bored recapper. Move on. Esteban mentions his marital problems. Gus says I’m there if you need me, bro. Esteban suggests Gus attend the important National Commission on Water (conference) so he can make connections, maybe get a job. Mr “I’m so concerned about water and I’m a hydraulic engineer” looks like he’s never heard of it. Really? Beanie adjustment in 3…2…1.

Ro-hell is with Vainy and annoyed that folks are walking all over him (No voy a dejar que nadie pase por encima de lo que quiero.) Vainy worries he’s talking about them and he assures her he wasn’t. Vainy is soo happy that they can be together happily ever after. Puke. Bruno calls. Ro-hell will meet with the competition tomorrow. Vainy tells Ro-hell enough with business for the day. Let’s toast. Ro-hell says it’s best he leaves and promises they will see each other tomorrow. Rather chaste kisses good-bye.

Elsa la Vaca comes in and tells Vainy she’s been thinking all afternoon. It’s quite a sacrifice to get back with Ro-hell. La Vaca still thinks Vainy is just out to help Daddy with the contract. Vainy assures her that while she wants to help daddy, she still loves Ro-hell. La Vaca—who is looking more and more like Carol Burnett’s rendition of Gloria Swanson circa Sunset Boulevard—tells her it’s nuts. Ro-hell is in that wheel chair and can’t offer Vainy a normal life or children. La Vaca tries to plead Esteban’s case and Vainy tells her to forget it.

Gus, Sis, Dinner. He got his severance pay so they’re square. With the rest he’s going to help Ana Pau. Sis is perhaps lukewarm on the idea. Gus says don't worry, he won't forget responsibilities to Sis and family.

Tia comes home. Ana Pau was worried about her. Tia tells her she went for a walk to try and figure out what they were going to do. Ana Pau must want her dead. She’s not going to eat dinner where no one listens to her. She’s going to Elena’s. She leaves. Ana Pau follows. Ana Pau tells her no matter how much he pays her, she’s not going back to work for Ro-hell. Tia says it’s because of that Gus guy. Ana swears that’s not the reason. Tia says alrighty, if you don’t want to go back to the hacienda- fine. But Ana Pau has to break it off with Gus and give Bruno another chance. Ana Pau is WTFBBQ impactada. No way is she doing that. Bruno is great and all, but just a friend. Gus is hard working, honest, bland, milquetoast …oh, sorry. Long story short: Tia says Gus is poor. Ana Pau says who cares he’s got good values. Eventually Tia claims she’ll let AP make her own choice but if Gus deceives AP in any way, Tia wants AP to promise Bruno will get another chance. Tia adds a  *cough*I’msosick*cough* for good measure.

Squeaky D delivers graduation dress. Ana Pau starts to fill her in on Tia’s latest antics.

Elena fusses at Tia for being so metiche, don't you know the minute you tell them “no” those youngins want it even more. Tia is pretty sure Gus won’t be around long. Elena wonders how she’s so sure. Tia has her ways. Tia tells Elena not to worry, the ring will get paid for. Elena comments that Ana Pau has a lot of luck with the gentlemen and with work. Elena wonders why Ro-hell offered so much money for Ana Pau to return. Tia says it so Ana Pau will put up with him. He’s used to everyone doing his bidding. After what Ana Pau said to him Miguel is sure to get fired too.

Ana Pau is about to tell Squeaky D about the crazy day when Unibrow comes home. He informs them he will not be able to attend the graduation and Squeaky reacts as if he’s just told her he ran over her abuela. A little over the top IMHO. Squeaky lines. Miguel lines. Gawd you would think he was going off to war. Ana Pau tells him about Ro-hell’s threat on Miguel's job. Miguel is impactado.

Avances

  • Gus misses the graduation.
  • Bruno busts a move and Sis sees!

Thank you Sara for this funny funny recap. I loved your gagging recapper line. Everytime I see Rohell and Vainy kiss it makes me sick too. lol. I also loved the lines "La Vaca lookes on and molests her brows at La Burnie and La Vaca's channeling Carol Burnett's rendition of Gloria Swanson in Sunset Boulevard lol. La Vaca reminds me of Joan Crawford.

The MentiRosa was trying so hard to kiss Bruno's and Rohell's A$$es. At least Rohell didn't listen to her, he has her number. I wonder what Bruno is up to? He is probably trying to get rid of Gus.

Vainy is just soooo FULL OF HERSELF. She drives me crazy. And to say oh, hey lets go dancing! The porch light is on but nobody is home lol.

Since David is crooked I hope what every Miguel delivers isn't illegal.

And poor Ana Paula guilt from all sides. She will probably be forced back to Hell Fuerte because of lack of money.
 

Sara, you are a fabulous comedic writer. I don't think I could stand this episode if you weren't smearing your sarcasm and irony around like so much peanutbutter on cold toast. At least it is edible now! Ha!

Well I agree that RawHell and Vainesta are so gag worthy. Why is it that two really, really attractive people can make face eating look obscenely unappetizing.

Mentirrosa is so out of control. This normally pleasant and sweet roled actress has done a cracker job of making me want to wretch while throwing things at the screen. I have learned to channel this silently because the effect on my gentle giant poodle is devastating. She really can't handle violence or even raised voices. She actually went over to the screen in alarm at this show last night and usually she doesn't watch TV unless their are dogs in action. This TN is so borderline S&M for all of us in the audience.

I wonder which vermin control method Bruno will choose for our boy Gus. I hope we don't have to watch.

Something tells me that RawHell will make life pretty miserable for Vainesta. Funny how her Carol Burnett channeling bugeyed Mama thinks RawHell can't dance even the horizontal mambo. Wonder when he will demonstrate his moves? and more important on whom? and who will get to watch? Eeeeewwww! It is hard to be liking Jorge when he is diving so deeply into this role.
 

Sara:
Your recap was worth 4 epis. I watched with one eye but your synopsis are worth a second read.

Favorite Saraisms...
...ro-hell is inclined to give his relationship with Vainy another go. Smooches with a side of gagging recapper ."
just wonderful, Sara!
"...Squeaky D and Unibrow in the park.."
"David and Gus Bidnez. Boring."

Rohelio and Vainy have NO chemistry and I don't think tonight's blue SPANX dress was doing it for Rogelio.

On Rogelio...What kind of guy can't give apologies for bad behavior? The kind you don't want to marry your daughter.

I have been thinking about that because my daughter just got engaged today to a wonderful man. Yeah! A very happy event four our family.
 

Elna June, congratulations for your daughter. Fortunately, she is not in the middle of a telenovela plot so it will likely be a wonderful experience for you all and not remotely like RawHell and his gang of misfit sociopaths.
 

"Boring. Don’t care. Fill in for me. Stopped listening. FF>> "

LOL! I laughed so hard when I read that. Yes there are definitely scenes in this show that are FF quality!

Yes, Vainy is so arrogant. She just KNEW that Rohell couldn't stay away, she just KNEW it! I loved his sarcastic response to her suggestion for dancing. I agree that the chemistry isn't there between Rohell and Vainy. He smiles but the smile doesn't reach his eyes. I think he likes kissing Vainy sometimes but otherwise she's just a big zero to him.

Loved the Unibrow comments. Miguel is a good sort, but I CAN'T. STOP. STARING. AT. THE. ONE. BROW!!!!! Tweezers, please! And it's the lopsided quality of the unibrow that really gets to me--more brow on one side than the other.

BTW, Urban, could you go back and tag your recap for yesterday so it has the "no-podia" tag on it? It is bothering me that your very fine recap is not showing up on the list! Thanks!
 

Sara, loved your recap and comments. ITA the others, without the oxygen you gave it would have been very hard to take. Side of gagging recapper, LOL you and me both.
Elvira, I just keep mentally waxing Miguel's brow.

Rohell doesn't act like the reunited lover. He is very cool; he's planning something; or he's waiting to say, "I gotcha!" to Vainessa. She deserves it, but he's sadistic.

Now we really know Bruno is pure evil. But what is he after? What can he get by getting Ana Paula?
 

Congrats Elna!
 

Thanks everyone! I didn't say so in the recap but aren't Tia's vocalizations hilarious?
 

Took care of that.

Sara, et al: You're all right; almost nothing happened last night. We do need to worry about Miguel losing his job, but the only advantage to that would be that he would be home to observe MentiRosa more closely.

Has it never occurred to any of these people that moving to a bigger town or city might have better job opportunities?

Vainessa suggests dancing. What a female dog she is. May she survive this story long enough to witness Rogelio and Ana Paula dancing at their wedding.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. Hence zero chemistry. Rogelio is indifferent to Vainessa at this stage and that's why he can cold-bloodedly do what he's doing with her head. She will eventually do something so egregious he will lower the boom on her.

I don't think we need to worry about Gustavo being offed just yet, but sending him away for a job would get him out of the way for both Bruno and Rogelio to get a shot at Ana Paula. He's adorable (and I hope Jose Ron keeps his hair) but he's not a challenge.
 

I think I've figured out my issue with Gus and Ana (and other TNs like TdA and LFDD.) I'm not a fan of the "love at first sight" plot line. It just leaves me "meh" and I can't buy it for some reason. The only time I've bought it was in Rosalinda.
 

Sara, this was sensational. So many of your great lines have already been mentioned but the Gloria Swanson line was absolutely hilarious and witty. I laughed all the way through. "Sure, Ro-hell says- I leeeerrrve dancing. ooops. Apparently footinmouth is contagious" was another of my favorites.

I enjoyed your recap far more than the epiosde.

If anyone respects Bruno in the slightest, have we met them??? That man is condescended to, ignored, chastised and beaten. A lone sole for sure. If he weren't so wolfish, I might care a bit. He better prepare for his evil machinations to backfire. How much lower can you go than pond scum?

Cheryl, "I wonder which vermin control method Bruno will choose for our boy Gus" also had me laughing.

Congratulations Elna June! Hope your daughter has much happiness ahead.

Diana
 

Thanks Sara. This is absolutely hilarious. Like Elvira, I really cracked up at:

"Boring. Don’t care. Fill in for me. Stopped listening."

Belated thanks to Jardinera and UA. Your recaps were great but somehow I didn't a chance to comment or join the conversations.

I'm finding it difficult staying engaged with this show. So far the only interesting character for me is Cinthia.

Rogelio should be interesting but he doesn't seem consistent or particularly committed to much of anything... good or bad.

When Gus and AP were discussing possibly being separated and yet finding some way to stay in touch, I immediately thought that it was too bad they released the birds. How romantic it would have been for them to send notes to each other using the pigeons.

Carlos
 

It's official, Sara -- I'm here for the literary experience only, to worship at the Joe Friday Memorial Temple of Snark. And as usual, I come away pretty deslumbrada myself by your telegraphic hilarity.

Tía lies, cries, spies and pries ...

Smooching with a side of gagging recapper ...

Blah blah blech...

She praises, he payses...

Apparently footinmouth is contagious ...

And best of all -- reminding us of Bernie and her brow sweep and the days of TDA when crap was crap. Ah yes!

Thank you, Sara!

Elna June -- ¡Felicidades!
 

Sad news--Daniela Romo is battling cancer.
 

As is Sr. Julio Aleman (lung cancer).

You are an excellent writer. Thank you very much, Sara.
 

I just can't get into this TN - and dear tia doesn't help. Thank goodness for the mute button when she is on, which seems way too often lately. I am to the point I can't even look at her! What a bunch of dislikeable characters. Gus and AP just don't have the spark of a love-couple. So glad its a short TN but don't think that will help in the end.
 

OMG, here's hoping Daniela Romo and Julio Aleman get all the best treatment available.
 

I am still enjoying it cause there are so many opportunities for snark...but it is starting to feel slow. I'm hoping it picks up. The last few episodes have felt like we're setting up for some action...hopefully.
 

Sara, thanks for a funny recap. So many zingers already mentioned by others. I loved these too: "Tia lies, cries, spies, and pries." "Smoochies with a side of gagging recapper."

I thought Dany was over the top too, but I'm wondering if this is foreshadowing about Miguel's trip. Miguel is confused by all that's happening but he had the good sense to be willing to listen to Gustavo. Plus he gives Mentirosa a quizzical look when she's mentirosing just about every episode. Hate for something to happen to him.
 

Thanks for your recap Sara. You did add much needed humor to this slow episode.

I feel bad for Gus. Like most unsuspecting good characters, he's in for something bad from two pieces of work (MentiraRosa and Bruno).

Good call Madelaine on Miguel's trip perhaps being doomed. It would definitely force AP back to Rohell.
 

Carlos- Love the idea of carrier pigeons, but then Rogelio would probably just shoot them.

Is anyone with lesser language skills having more trouble than usual understanding these people? I don't know if it's the way they speak or that if they all got hit by a bus I wouldn't care. Except maybe Cinthia. She's for sure the most interesting, and she'd probably love for them all to go away so she can finally have a life. Maybe take Esteban since he may be the only decent guy with 2 brows who doesn't induce romantic nausea.

I don't like where this seems to be going tonight, but I want to stick around long enough for Tia to get sick for real just as AP and Miguel find out how horrible she is and leave her. Novela-kharma, please.

Kelly
 

EJ - Congrats on your daughter's engagement!

Carlos - Your comment about the pigeons was my giggle for the today, thanks.

Cheryl - ITA your vexation with Tia and admire your restraint for Willa's sake. I typically FF through her whining as it's painful to hear. I'm just horrified she and Bruno would harm Gus to get their way. It seems bad characters always think if s/he eliminates the competition the object of desire will love them and we know that is never the case.
 

"...the new graduate Edgar-- who immediately points out that the water treatment part is not right..."

I was really impressed by Edgar last night. He barely glanced at those plans and saw that there is a problem. Unfortunately, he didn't really look like galan material.

Carlos
 

Thanks, all, for the congratulations. I really your appreciate your kind wishes for my daughter.All of my kids are in their thirties and this is our first engagement so I am pretty thrilled.

EJ
 

Congratulations to you EJ!

Sara- Many thanks for the snarkilicious recap.

I worry for both Gus and Miguel. Anvils are lining up for them both. It also looks like AP's life will go further down the crapper tonight. Oh joy!

I did feel pity for Bruno at the dinner table. What a bunch of snobs! He was good enough to be their friend when he had land, but now that his lands are in RoHell's greedy hands, he's nothing to them. What a bunch of jerks!

But I hate Bruno's plans to hurt Gus to get him out of the way. However, I don't think anyone else in that pack of self-centered snobs (RoHell, Vain, Sin, David) would be above doing the same thing to get their way. None of them seem to care who else may get hurt, as long as their will is obeyed/whims are met.

Sad to hear about two of our favorite veteran tn actors fighting cancer. Best wishes to them both.
 

Amigo Carlos:

You crack me up. One glance at the plans and Edgar saw the fatal water treatment flaw. Another case of a TN personality with super powers.

I just sent you an e-mail off line. Would you let me know if you receive it? Thanks,

EJ
 

Vivi-I felt bad for Bruno as well.
 

Awesome and funny recap Sara. I think Rog is bored with Vainessa. Maybe he's doing this in the hopes of making AP jealous but that seems unlikely. I really don't know why Rog took Vainessa back. Maybe he wants companionship. I LOLed when she kissed him and he wiped his mouth with the tablecloth.

So David is crooked and it seems Miguel is going to be a delivery boy of sorts. Hope it's not a drug drop-off or something.

So as it stands AP is not going back to work for Rog even if hell freezes over. Rosaura had me laughing with her antics in the background while AP and Rog argured.
 

Thanks, Sara, for your delightfully snarky recap. I was going to mention a bunch of lines I especially liked, but other folks, especially NovelaMaven, beat me to them.

EJ, congrats on your daughter's engagement.

I'm still trying to make up my mind about this TN. If there are any more interesting about to start, I'd like to know about them.
 

Loved this recap and I agree with all of your comments about the characters.

I read through the comments and I didn't see anyone mention in the highlights for tonight's show where I briefly saw a woman kiss Gustavo at the graduation and I wouldn't be surprised if AP sees it and then hates Gustavo and think he's cheating on her. That could be how Bruno gets him out of the way.
Did anyone else see that scene?
 

I am ready for AP to go back to Del Fuerzo, giving us a much needed break from TiaPerra. As bad as Rogelio is atleast I don't have the desperate need to FF through his tantrums.
 

I will not give away any spoilers, but I think the show starts to pick up pretty soon (at least in my opinion). The rest of this week and into next has some interesting stuff (at least I felt that "something big" was coming when I first saw it). I also recall thinking, "Just get on with it already" too. You have to stick it out a little longer and hopefully you'll see what I mean (or not). I get a huge kick out of this show, but it's obviously not going to appeal to everyone.

And as I am going to keep on repeating, "You must remember, Rogelio is a douchebag." I am doing the recap for tonight's episode and have previewed it (from a downloadable copy) and that definitely applies for tonight. (But of course that is not a spoiler because that can be said for every episode so far! LOL!)
 

Cathyx- The preview was of Bruno kissing AP and Gus' sister seeing it. She already has a low opinion of AP, so this will just make it worse.
 

Thanks Vivi. I knew there was some bad kissing going on, I just remembered the wrong kissers, lol. Well then, sis tells bro that AP isn't faithful so then AP goes to La Hacienda to regroup.

I had to FF through all the Tia's whinging. I'm really disliking her scenes.
 

Elvira-I'm going to keep watching. What, are most of us in it for the stellar art we are viewing?

Kelly-the Spanish is harder with harder vocabular IMHO. Fuerza del destino was easier. Eva Luna was easier. Teresa was harder.
It's like they aim at different audiences.

Cathyx and Vivi-thank you, the kissing grossed me out it is like people methodically eating each others faces, yuk!
 

Ooh, maybe that's not what you met.
 

I don't think there's been an episode yet when I didn't want to slap Tia MentiRosa. Or send Dani for voice instruction. Ingrid Martz will never be a lead if she doesn't fix that.
 

As bad as Rog is, I'm sticking with this novela. Teresa was pretty hard to watch at times too but the acting was so riveting I stuck with it also. The novela is dragging a bit so hopefully it will start to pick up the pace.
 

Elvira-I agree. Last night I definitely felt like puzzle pieces were being put in place and that they will start falling into place soon. Unfortunately it was a bunch of bizness pieces. Blech. Boring. LOL
 

Thanks, Sara, for yet another fun and frisky recap. I am losing interest in this novela, but all our dedicated and excellent recappers still keep me watching. Sad news about Daniela Romo and Julio. I am sending good vibes up for them. Congrats to your daughter, Elna . I have 2 sons-in-law. I just started a new semester and have 5 Spanish speakers in my class. The ladies giggled when I told them that I'm learning Spanish by watching telenovelas.
 

Sara & UA: Wonderfully snarky and ingenious recapping prowess the both of you! Sorry so late, but I'm here. Do hope things pick up cuz I'm falling asleep almost every night watching this poorly written and directed dung. I expected better from Teresa's producer/writer/whatever.
