La Que No Podía Amar #52 Thursday 3/8/12 The Woman Who Couldn't Get The Alleged Love of Her Life to Believe in Her
Sorry, all, it's another late recap in installments today. When it's complete you'll get a for realz title. On to the show:
Vanessa tells Rog he can't get back together with Ana Paula…she wants another chance.
Rosaura talks to someone about finding the notario. He tells her they'd have to exhume the body to do a DNA test. And it's going to be a long, expensive process to fight for what she thinks AP deserves. And this guy wants 30% of the inheritance if they get it. Fed was a rich guy…if he's taking the case, it better be worth it.
Rog says it's way too late for him and Vanessa. They've each gone their own way now. "Well, yeah, but we're both miserable!" Vanessa says she's really sorry for leaving him. Too little, too late, sister. Rog gently tells her they can't be happy together. And he doesn't hate her anymore, either, but there's no reason to keep discussing this. He says he's married to AP and Vanessa flips her wig and screams at him that he CAN'T be with her!
AP has put in some job applications. She's worried about Mercedes hating her and wanting her out of the house. Mercedes comes home and asks AP to let her talk to Gustavo alone. Gustavo doesn't like Mercedes' attitude. She says she doesn't like how she keeps hearing that Ana is only after money. She tells him that AP didn't even marry the guy she kissed at the graduation…she married another, richer guy…a sick one! Gus doesn't look happy.
Vanessa continues throwing her tantrum about how Rogelio CAN'T be with Ana Paula…he CAN'T be in love with her! Rogelio makes the mistake of saying he liked her at first because she reminded him of Vanessa. Jajajajaja! That really makes Vanessa ratchet up her screeching! "Don't ever compare me to her!" It brings her cow of a mother running to ask qué the hell Rogelio is doing to her daughter!
Mercedes tells Gustavo to just freakin' ask Ana about it already (or maybe that was me)…or ask her aunt, who's suffering over her niece's behavior. Now, that Gustavo won't buy--he knows what Rosaura is like. Mercedes begs him to get the info before the relationship continues. Gustavo's going to ask her, but he insists that he will stick with Ana because she's so honest and pretty and she smells like fresh-baked cookies all the time and little birds dress her in the morning.
Rog sees Cynthia, David, and Bruno and tells them Vanessa's even more upset than before. When Cyn hears that he's looking for Ana Paula, she starts hassling him about that. He tells her if she ever leaves the house without his permission again, she won't be leaving with anything more than the clothes on her back. This gives David another opportunity to make a bid for husbandship. Cyn looks like she's thinking about it.
Ana Paula and Rosaura come back into the house and Gus hears Rosaura weeping and wailing about how AP can't get Fed's money because he's been cremated, so they can't do a DNA test. AP says she sold the engagement ring and they have a little bit to live on, but they're going to have do so something else. Margarito comes bounding out of the bedroom and suggests a fabulous gourmet dinner of PB&J, which excites no one but him. Gus, who only comes in 2 flavors--Bland and Furious--comes to the wrong conclusion after hearing ONLY the ever-TACKY Rosaura and makes his "Damn you, Ana Paula" face while puffing up his chest and heaving his shoulders.
Cin tells Vanessa that rather than forget AP, he's probably going to insist on getting her back just to make her suffer. Cin suggests giving her money to get rid of her so she gets out of their lives forever. Vanessa agrees and hopes she can find her at the hotel.
Rosaura won't tell Rogelio where they are. He reminds her if she doesn't play nice, he'll have Miguel sent back to jail.
Vanessa tells Cin that her mom doesn't want her to give money to AP or get back together with Rogelio. And right now, she's not even sure if she still loves him or if she hates him, but she's sure she doesn't want Ana Paula to have him! That, and she wants him to suffer for her. Cin says she needs to spend more time near him. "Set up a company office in San Gabriel!"
Dany brings Maripaz to see Miguel. Before they can go into the room, Dany takes a call from Bruno.
Consuelo lets Maripaz into the room and they both get treated to the sight of Miguel's cut wrists, bleeding all over the bed. Dany, as if she doesn't have any medical training, just stands there staring in shock.
Rogelio tells Bruno that Rosaura won't tell him where they are until she gets more money out of him, as usual.
Dany checks Miguel's pulse. It's weak, but still there. She yells at Maripaz to shut up and starts ripping sheets to make tourniquets.
Daniel pays off Juan, who lets him know that the young lady asked who sent him, but he kept quiet about it.
Maria prays for Miguel to be saved. For his own sake, for Paula's, and so they don't have to find out how Rogelio's going to react to that! Maria doesn't plan on telling him until the doctors have checked him out. Maripaz's parents are there and Consuelo begs Maria to deal with them.
Maripaz's mother admits she gave permission. Her father starts yelling at her the minute she walks into the living room. Maria comforts Maripaz and tells her parents that Miguel's not doing well and she doesn't know if he'll live through the night. That shuts Maripaz's dad up quick.
Mercedes comes home from an interrupted date with Ernesto and finds Gustavo still awake. He tells her he hasn't talked to Ana, because her aunt was feeling sick, but he did overhear a conversation about the inheritance and it seems to him like it's Rosaura who's a TACKY, money-grubbing ho. Mercedes finds it suspicious that Ana hasn't told Gustavo everything. She reminds him that he can't stand being lied to, so she knows he won't be happy with Ana. Gus ponders.
Maripaz is back at the store, begging to at least go see the doctor and find out how Miguel's doing, but her dad tells her she'd better stay put.
Rosaura and Rogelio lay their cards out on the table. Rosaura wants money, as usual. This time she wants to know she'll be taken care of beyond the year of the contract. Rogelio shows her a huge check and offers to trade it for Ana Paula, but only if he gets her TODAY!
Ana Paula comes downstairs and notices Gustavo is grumpy. He asks if it really hurt her to lose her dad, or if she's upset to lose out on his name and his money. He's confused and says she hasn't been honest with him. "Why didn't you tell me that the man my sister saw you with at the graduation isn't the one you married?" OK, now I'm confused, because I thought he was the one who kept saying he didn't want to hear her explanations?
Miguel makes it through the night and wakes to find Dany watching over him.
"First of all, at my graduation, things didn't go the way your sister thinks they did. There was a misunderstanding." "And why didn't you trust me enough to tell me about it?" "Are you insinuating that I've lied to you?" "You've told me half-truths, which is the same thing." She's pissed that anyone can talk smack about her and he believes them. Gustavo feels his distrust is justified. "I asked you not to accept anything else from your husband and yesterday you pawned your engagement ring." Ana says she can explain, but he doesn't want to hear it. He says she did it behind his back and justifies yelling at her by saying she's giving him plenty of reason to. AP says if he's going to believe anyone but her, then it's better they break up.
Rogelio asks where Paula is, but Rosaura still won't tell him. She doesn't want AP to know that she gave her away. "I'll get her to some place where you can just show up like you'd been following her." Rogelio grins, saying he gets it…"You don't want her to know you traded her in for a house."
AP says she doesn't want to break up, but he always believes anyone else but her. He's yelling at her that she doesn't speak clearly. "Are you sure you're not planning to go back to your husband because he has money and I don't" AP has had it! She hopes in time he'll see how wrong he's been. "But you are right about one thing." "Oh, that you're hiding things from me?" "No, you dolt! That I'm still married. And I've got a lot of things to deal with before I can think about starting a new life." Gustavo grabs her, insisting on knowing where she's going. "That's not your problem anymore, is it?" AP says she kept quiet to protect him.
Rosaura is offended that Rogelio's making her sound like she's pimping out her niece. Well, you TACKY broad, you ARE pimping out your niece. So go cry in a big bag of money over it. The usual explanations about how tough life is for the poor. She gets weepy and Rogelio takes her hand. "If you don't want to go back to that kind of like, then do what I say. By my side, you'll never want for anything. But if you screw me over I'll take away all my support. Got it?"
Bruno finally gets a call from his hench. He's all ready to get Gustavo…once he sees him.
Ana hesitates to tell Gustavo what she hasn't told him and he accuses her of needing time to make up more lies. He keeps grabbing her every time she tries to leave, including in front of Margarito, saying she's not going anywhere. He even yells at Margarito. AP thanks him for all his help and says she'll pay him back for the hotel. She insists she's willing to tell him everything, but she needs time and he won't give her time. Gee, that doesn't sound suspicious at all. AP runs upstairs, leaving Gus and Margarito scratching their heads.
Miguel doesn't remember what happened. Dany tells him he lost a lot of blood and he needs to rest and recover. Miguel says he wants to die, but Dany tells him not to say that. She tells him Maripaz and Consuelo found him, thankfully. "I know it's not right, but I don't want any more problems. I don't want to cause any more problems." Dany tells him we've all got problems and he's going to find solutions, not take the easy way out. "The doctor says you need professional support and also support from everyone who loves you. Think about how much Paula loves you. Think about beautiful things so you can smile again and love life." Miguel doesn't look convinced.
Ulises tells Macaria he doesn't want her and Maripaz to think he's an ass, he just wants to take care of his daughter is all. Macaria says the best thing could be to let Maripaz be around Miguel long enough to come to her own conclusions. She's sure Maripaz is a sensible girl and will make the right decision. Ulises doesn't agree.
Bruno visits Vanessa and gives her his condolences. She says she'll need his help now that she's heading up the company. She and Cin tell Bruno that she's opening an office in San Gabriel and needs his help. They go to talk about the plans to for the office, leaving Cin to be accosted by Efrain. He demands to know if she's staying for Vanessa or David and kisses her, saying she likes the risk…it makes her feel alive! And the way she keeps coming back for more, I'd have to agree with him.
Margarito says goodbye to Gus and says he'll take care of Ana. Gus approaches her, but his phone rings. It's Rosaura asking to speak to her. Ana tells her she's had a problem with Gus and they broke up. Rosaura can barely contain her glee. She asks what happened and AP says "He thought I got married for the money and if he doesn't trust me, there's no point staying together." They plan to meet somewhere.
Rosaura hangs up the phone, giving Rogelio a smug grin.
AP gives Gus back his phone. "I'll show you I'm not a gold-digger, but by the time you realize that I'm not sure I'll be able to forgive your dickish behavior." AP and Margarito leave the house. She stops by the door and Gus starts to go after her, but nothing happens yet.
Rosaura holds her hand out for the check, but Rog won't hand it over until he actually has AP. He tests Rosaura's "loyalty" by asking her to tell him where AP's been and who she's been with.
Cin breaks away from Efrain, lamenting that she's not free. He reminds her half of the hacienda is hers and encourages her to fight for it and then marry him. "Oh, really? You think I'm going to maintain you?" He says he's the only one who's man enough for her. "The only one who knows you, knows how you are, and can meet all your needs." His phone starts ringing and Cin says "Not my economic needs. Go on. Answer the phone. It might be important." "The only thing that's important is you. I know how to run a hacienda. No one's going to look after you as well as I will, even against your brother." Cin insists he answer the phone. It's Rog, summoning Efrain. Bruno has been summoned as well and the two guys take their leave. Cin wonders why Rog called them. Vanessa figures it's to help find AP.
Rog can't believe that Fed is AP's dad. Rog feels like this explains why AP and Vanessa…he remembers how he thought they look so alike. He says if he'd known he wouldn't have pulled the crap he'd pulled. Rosaura tells him Vanessa knows and refuses to acknowledge it and how Van and Elsa wouldn't let AP go to her father's funeral. As much of an ass as Rogelio is, it's worth noting that between him and Rosaura, he's the one who's sympathetic to how AP must be hurting right now, while Rosaura is just seeing everyone as walking dollar signs.
Maria tells Miguel she assumes that since AP is such a devotee of St. Francis, Miguel must have some faith too. Miguel says they're very different. Maria tries to ask what he was thinking, but Miguel was just thinking that AP would be free, finally. Maria refuses to keep quiet and says she has to tell his family what happened, and tell Rogelio.
Rosaura points out the difficulties in proving that AP is Fed's daughter. Rog puts $ and $ together and realizes that Rosaura was hoping that Fed would be her new ATM. She denies it, of course. He asks for more details about what Paula's been up to while she's been away from him. Rosaura begs off, saying she has to go meet her. As soon as she leaves, Rog snaps at Hugo to go follow her. "Vanessa and Paula," he muses, "this isn't good." You've got that right!
AP and Margarito walk along with their rolling suitcases. She tells him they're going to go meet up with Rosaura.
Miguel begs Maria not to tell AP. He doesn't want her to worry. Maria insists and Miguel is worried about Rogelio's reaction. Maria is as convinced that AP and Rogelio belong together and Miguel is convinced they're terrible for each other.
AP and Margarito meet Rosaura in a church. Rosaura hugs AP and pretends to comfort her. "I'm sorry. You were so excited to be with your boyfriend! But everything happens for a reason." AP says she can't cry over a guy who doesn't believe in her. Maybe she'll give him another chance after she's divorced. Rosaura reminds her they've got nowhere to stay and AP says she knows, but she needs a minute to pray for Fed's soul. Rosaura says maybe she should pray for a place to stay. She goes off to buy a candle for St. Francis and she'll be right back. AP has a silent convo with the Virgen.
Mercedes has received a big honkin' flower arrangement from Ernesto. They're an apology for the date that was cut short. He can't wait to tell his daughter they're together. Mercedes is worried he'll rush it and make her think she's trying to take his mother's place. Ernesto can't wait till it's the three of them. Gloomy Gus comes downstairs. He tells them that he broke up with Ana.
Margarito asks if she prayed to get back together with Gus. She says not until she's divorced. Margarito points behind her where Rosaura is being fake dragged into the church by Hugo and Efrain and Rogelio rolls in.
Tomorrow: AP insists she won't go back with him, she admits Rog didn't kill her boyfriend because he's actually alive, Rog suspects they did the nasty.
Vanessa tells Rog he can't get back together with Ana Paula…she wants another chance.
Rosaura talks to someone about finding the notario. He tells her they'd have to exhume the body to do a DNA test. And it's going to be a long, expensive process to fight for what she thinks AP deserves. And this guy wants 30% of the inheritance if they get it.

Sorry could not wait for rest of your post, all I wanted to say was that look Rog gave to Ana at the end was to die for. That was just incredible!!! I am now a firm Rog supporter.

Your description of Gus's two moods being "Bland and furious." LOL! 5ft, your recaps are always fantastic! I look forward to the rest!

"Gustavo's going to ask her, but he insists that he will stick with Ana because she's so honest and pretty and she smells like fresh-baked cookies all the time and little birds dress her in the morning."
-------------------------
LOLLOLLOLLOL I loved it, awesome recap. The conversation between Mr. HotWheels Rogelio and Tia MentiRosa was hilarious. The way she went for the money and Rogelio taking the check back. Good that AP parted ways with Gus, although I feel it was in order to protect him, so she took advantage of the moment. Still, he behaved like an ass, shoving her and violently grabbing her like a controlling jealous boyfriend. He could never get away with that if he was my boyfriend.
That look of happiness at the end was so precious. Loved Mr. HotWheels in that scene, happy and relieved to see her, although his world will crush when he'll find out the truth. While Margaro, on the other hand, acted as if he saw some kind of a ghost. Bad girl, AP. You poisoned the boy. Rosy was hilarious in that scene too, how she faked a fight with Hugo, so that AP doesn't suspect that she was involved in this.
I was laughing so hard when I saw Rogelio entering the church and auntie struggling with Hunkie Hugo behind them.

Wow...I can't wait for Rogelio to call Vanessa "cuñada"...I'm sure that's gonna go over well!
I still haven't seen the finished commercial, just that "behind the scenes" video. We finished up the Puccini Messa di Gloria performances and they were just amazing! All quiet on the performance front this week. I've been focusing on making chocolates to take to a school fundraiser tomorrow and waffling back and forth between feeling like I made too much and worrying I didn't make enough. I guess we'll see how it goes!

Oh, I know! That was hilarious! Like she just compulsively can't keep her hands off anything that's (a) a luxury item and (b) belongs to someone else!
Thank you so much 5ft for the lovely recap. So funny and loved your title. Ah, the "Cakes" have broken up. Frosting running all over the place. If the Cupcake had only told the Guscake everything. So many assumptions from both sides, and Mersnotty didn't help.
Loved the liplock of Effer and Sin. They do like the danger. Anyone could have walked in on them.
Tia is pimping her neice out to the highest bidder. Of course the notary gets 30% of the settlement. Here in the States it is 33 1/3 % or even more in some cases. I guess she thought he would work pro bono. She can just turn on the waterworks at will.
Rohell is showing his softer side. I am pleasantly surprised he isn't all whips and terror. I am glad he turned the Vainy one down. I will hate to see what happens when he finds out where the Cupcake has been and what she did. Glad he knows that Fed is the Cupcake's papa.
Poor Miguel. I know, I know he is a loser, but the poor guy hasn't had a good life ever. Between being constantly harrassed and lied to by Tia and being railroaded to prison, I feel really sad for him. Hopefully, the pressure is off of him now and he can get the help he really needs.
Love Maria, she is the best Nana/Mother and voice of reason ever. If the residents of the hacienda just took her advice they would be alot better off, though Rohell sometimes listens.

Fab recap 5ft! I loved it!
I loved the elaborate "fresh baked cookies" line, and I loved Rogelio putting $ and $ together LOL!
The scenes with Rogelio and Tía were priceless as usual. Again my favorite part of the show. How clever of Tía to use the Fed reunion as an excuse for what AP had been up to.
I'm delighted Rogelio knows APs parentage now. Um, he would have done things differently? Somehow, I don't buy that. The plot thickens more. Last night was a very exciting episode.
Yeah, AP does have trouble 'splaining things in a way that makes any sense at all, but launching in with "are you really sad about your Dad dying or just losing his money" was an incredibly stupid way to start the interrogation. Gus knows how devastated AP was and why. What a dumbass. Well he got what he deserved for listening to his twisted sister. She reminds him how much he hates being deceived when she has deceived him deliberately several times! - hipócrita! Gus looked pretty shell-shocked by AP leaving him LOL! Not quite what he expected. I'm hoping he really blames sis - though he's the wuss!
Effer made some very sensible arguments to close-minded Cinthia. Maybe he will end up being her "consort" after all. That would mean Cinthia really had gotten beyond her ridiculous class discrimination.
Tia faking apprehension at the end LOL!
Advances look exciting!

5ft, thanks for a delightful recap. My favorite line: "and little birds dress her in the morning."
Just when I was getting into Gustavo, he cracks. Did he not notice the Cupcake was a virgin and not exactly a player? Why would she be with a broke, unemployed engineer who lives with his bruja sister in a tiny cottage, if she wanted a sugar daddy?
I'll have to watch Margarito's look again, but I thought along with the fear there was a glint of delight at seeing Rogelio. I'm thinking that despite what AP's told him and the ogre-ways he's seen himself, that Margarito does have affection for Rogelio. At least, I hope so.
Alexandra, "auntie struggling with Hunkie Hugo" – that scene was too funny.

Fabulous recap! I giggled like crazy.
Ok, I'm back in. Not giving up on this soap yet.
Meanwhile, how did Ana Paula suddenly have a suitcase and all these wardrobe changes?
The actress playing Vanessa always sounds like she has spitty snot in the back of her throat. I can't take her on screen with her fake lips and weird acting. Her hair is too straightened, they should lighten up her look a little.
I really hated that Ana Paula pawned the ring. It seemed so ungrateful and seedy. AP needs to redeem herself a little this week. She's been so unlikeable. If she's pregant I'll be sooo pissed.
And I feel like the writers just have no ideas for Miguel's story line. His character needs to do something decent and interesting soon or they really need to just kill him off.
I agree that Tia is really making some of these scenes hum. The actress is doing a great job. The scenes with her and Rogelio really are fun.
Deanna

Thanks for a great recap. Good luck viewing your commercial, hopefully they didn't cut you out of it. I know people here who are extras in movies, and most often they get cut out of a scene. Since you were next to the star, you'll probably be safe.
I love Tia's shifty eyes when she's lying and conniving. And I agree that she and Rog steal the show. Rog so has her number.
Deanna-
Good catch about AP's suitcase. She did leave the Hacienda without anything. Since she had no money, where did the new clothes come from? Guscake?
The Miguel situation is a fastforward fest for me. I just don't care about his drama. And you can add Maripaz and her parents to that too.
David reoffered his hand in marriage to Cin and she kind of looked like she was considering it. I guess we'll have to see. But now that the Cakes aren't together, maybe Cin has another chance.

5 ft, entertaining recap, kept me on the edge of the seat, and I had already seen the episode.
Like the others I loved that the birds dress AP in the morning. It has to be something that keeps Rog, Gus, and Bruno interested!
Well, we know Rohell is going to drag her back to the hacienda and lock her up in some tower.
What is with Miguel that he can keep two women panting for him?

Thank you 5-ft, for another excellent recap.
I can't get over how UNLIKEABLE I find Gustavo. As Alexandra said, "Still, he behaved like an ass, shoving her and violently grabbing her like a controlling jealous boyfriend."
Kat, you said it so well here:
"Gus, who only comes in 2 flavors--Bland and Furious--comes to the wrong conclusion after hearing ONLY the ever-TACKY Rosaura and makes his "Damn you, Ana Paula" face while puffing up his chest and heaving his shoulders."
To me, Gus always looks like he just finished pole-sitting practice.
Combined with a hostile self-righteousness he is a piece of work. What about the fact that his nasty sister is at least as much to blame as Tia for Ana Paula thinking Gus was dead. Blame Mercedes and Tia Mentirosa, will you?

Kat, I love your recaps, and this one was no exception. Thanks so much!
Other people have already pointed out some of the lines that I, too, especially enjoyed. For example, "Gus, who only comes in 2 flavors--Bland and Furious" and "but he insists that he will stick with Ana because she's so honest and pretty and she smells like fresh-baked cookies all the time and little birds dress her in the morning." Perfecto!
I have to confess, I was happy to see Gus acting like such an a**hole. All this sweetness and light between AP and him was becoming quite tedious. I was also glad that AP wasn't willing to put up with Gustavo's distrust and self-righteousness. There seems to be a bit of jalapeño hidden under her sugary vanilla frosting.

Great work, Kat.
I think Efrain is right; Lady Chatterley does like living dangerously. This is about more than who whistles better in the wheat fields because we know how others would react to this revelation.
Gustavo is definitely too weak for a relationship. His inability to trust AP is immature and would have upset Fed big time. Mercedes certainly is holding him back, so what happened to her that she is convincing him not to trust AP? BTW, I think she is supposed to be older than he is.
As to Tia MentiRosa pimping out Ana Paula, I'm surprised she waited this long to do it. She is such a greedy female dog I'm surprised she didn't sell either of them to pedophiles long ago.
Rogelio is heroic for being the only person to call her out on this although I am wondering how he will explain his own actions in giving in to her greed.

Thanks, Kat. You nailed it once again.
I love your recaps.
Did anybody else notice our Rog checking out the waitress'
butt as he sat there with Rosy?
Not a lot of blood for a wrist cutting... I estimate an Oz and 1/2 of blood at most... yet another botched job by Mikey.
All agree that Tia's evil for selling but most are OK with Rog buying?

I'm not sure how I feel about Rogelio's actions. He seems sincere in his feelings for AP, but paying money to Tia MentiRosa isn't the best way to show it and will look very bad when AP finds out. Skelator's interference isn't going to allow for understanding for a long time.
I can't say that I have a problem with Rog "paying" Rosaura. He's only wanting info about her. What I do have a problem with though is his threatening to put Miguel back in jail. That's a much greater offense.
Rog simply wants another chance to explain his innocence and AP would not give him a chance without being forced to be with him right now.

I am actually starting to wonder how much dinero he has that he is willing to hand so much to someone who clearly not only doesn't deserve it but whom he (rightly) finds despicable.
This particular experience should make him realize that MentiRosa is a bottomless pit. If he has half the brains we think he does he will call a halt to this once AP is under his roof. The new deal should be "You tell me what I need to know and I won't tell Paula how you sold her like a slave."

Ms 5ft, Deftly done. Loved the whole thing, while the stand out lines for me were the same as others have already quoted--Bland and Furious--Fresh baked Cookies and little Birds dressing her (a la Cinderella, no?)
Alexandra--loved your warning to Ms 5ft about keeping an eye on Rosaura and not to let her get near her chocolates.
Also loved your Mr. HotWheels.
Yeah, we all know the cupcakes HAD to have crumbled before Rogelio came on the scene. Otherwise, she would never go back to him. Tonight, we are going to assume she does. Wait til he finds out the Guscake took that favorite bite out of the Cupcake before he did.
Agree--Rosaura had the best lines last night with Rogelio--and she didn't need to do any shrieking to get her point across.
CathyX--There were two suitcases involved. I don't think either one was AP's or Margarito's.
Remember, Rosaura departed from the hacienda to go straight to Boca then on to Tuxtla with Fed. I think she's the one that brought the suitcases. They WERE pretty big, though, so it might have had some change of wear for AP.

Deanna THAT'S IT!!!!!!!!!!! I've been trying to figure it out how to describe it since Vainy came on the scene!!! You've described it perfectly!!!
Yes, Carlos, Rohell totally checked out the waitress' behind. TWICE!
I've been watching a day late all week and it appears LQNPA will continue in the same (late) time slot. All of the recaps were fabulous this week. Detailed and entertaining. Thank you UA, Elvira, Alexandra and Kat !

IMO Tia Rosaura's ONLY saving grace is that she did not sell the children to pedophiles when they were younger. But the story opened with her trying to set herself up as AP's alcahuete - setting her up as the landlord's mistress for her own financial gain and creating a situation where the landlord had an opportunity to rape AP. Pretty raw!
I DO object to Rogelio buying what Tia is selling. I think it's base. I also object to how he uses coercion, trickery ("only one year") and threats/violence to get his way. He is a spoiled, despotic bully. His love for AP is a possessive, controlling love right now - I have a problem with calling that kind of feeling "love" as it treats the beloved as an object to be owned/dominated.
I DO like that Rogelio is able to see AP clearly in terms of her honesty, courage and total lack of artifice/deceit. Gustavo just failed this test miserably, and it makes him unworthy of AP right now. I love that Rogelio is onto Rosaura, but does he protect AP from Rosaura? Not really. Rogelio comes first, not AP.

Can anyone help me out? What time does the new TN Abismo de Pasion start on Monday? My incredibly lame comcast tv guide doesn't list it on Monday at all.
"The actress playing Vanessa always sounds like she has spitty snot in the back of her throat."
I've always been amazed at how some of the Mexican actresses so exaggerate the pronunciation of la jota (the "j") that they sound like they are going to fling spit in the listener's face. All you need to hear are a few "te lo juro"s to make you duck. Altair Jarabo comes to mind.
Through TN watching I've also learned that Mexican Spanish speaking is super-clipped - analogous to the upper-crust British English. Some of the actresses speak so fast with such exaggerated consonants that you completely lose the vowels! The actress playing Roberta in CME always amazed me with this. I'd always be saying: "How does she do that?!?!?"
Yes, Vainessa's crooked mouth is pretty distracting at times. But she's the perfect cast for Vainessa IMO. She lives and breathes narcissism. I still crack up whenever she starts her "but she stole Rogelio from me" lament - as if she has an inalienable right to owning Rogelio even though she dumped him for 7 years.

Loved the recap 5ft. I was surprised that Miguel tried to kill himself. At least Dany was able to put her nursing skills into use. I'm looking forward to the showdown tonight. Looks good per the previews. I wonder how did Rog deduce that AP was deflowered. Could he see a glow about her perhaps? Can't wait for the fireworks.
Love the relieved look on Rog's face too when he finally saw AP in the flesh again. Team Rog all the way.

Carlos and Sara--
You two didn't see the same thing I saw. I thought Rogelio--for twice in a tn, was aware that people were passing behind him and was guarded in his conversation so no one overheard what he didn't want to have overheard.
I also thought he was checking on Hugo, to make sure he was still sitting behind him. I liked Rogelio's signal at the end where he wanted to make sure Hugo followed the Tia.
Maybe it was off-screen, but I didn't hear Tia actually say where she was going to meet Paula. JMHO
Anita

Agreed - I thought Rogelio kept watching out for listeners to their conversation.
He had Hugo follow Tia anyway - probably in case she double-crossed him again LOL!!

Love the Tia R actress. She's so-o-o good.
Rog was on to her way back early on when he once suggested to Ana that Tia R needs to have her heart checked to see how seriously ill she is. Also, earlier on Rog suggested to Ana that Tia R was not as selfless as Ana described her. But AP wouldn't hear of eiher of those possibilities.
So my man Rog is a wily, good old judge of character, except for not picking up on Bruno's deceitfulness.

I LOVED the completed recap, Kat! Brilliant!
I haven't decided whether Rohell was checking out the ladies or being guarded so no one overheard. At first I thought it was being guarded, but then I thought, maybe there's a little checking out there going on too.
I think we see now the difference between Gus and Rohell. Rohell, for all his douchebaggery, I think he won't throw away his opportunity with Cupcake so quickly, the way Gus has done. Rohell is older, wiser, harder, but not so full of entitlement to Cupcake. Like she's got to live up to his uber-high perfect standards or else he gives her the heave-ho on the spot. I don't think Rohell would do that, but we see that Gus will. If she did something that upset him, Rohell would yell and have a tantrum, get in a huff and roll out of the room, but wouldn't be so quick to dump her immediately.
I don't mind so much that Rohell "buys" what Tia is selling. We all know that Rohell is a douche, used to buying and selling—he's very up front about that. So I guess our expectations are lowered. (Well, at least mine are! LOL.) Plus, for all his talk about how everyone has a price, he now knows he can't buy the Cupcake. What he's buying is an opportunity with her—her time, so he can win her over. He's not a "normal" guy, like Gus. He doesn't have that "entitlement" thing going on. He's already said many times (and wallowed in self-pity about it), he knows that most women wouldn't want to put up with his douchebaggy, crippled self. (Though he focuses too much on the cripple part.)
I also think that to be honest, for all his douchebagginess, Cupcake is "safer" with him than being vulnerable to Tia's continued pimping attempts (to creepy guys like that landlord). At least Rohell isn't overbearing or threatening in an overtly sexual way, unlike the landlord and who knows how many other men that Tia would attempt to pimp AP out to eventually. (Though Rohell can get a bit grabby in an angry way, he does back off before it totally gets out of control.)

Thanks for the great recap Kat.
I was actually pretty disturbed by that final scene. I like Jorge Salinas but I can understand AP's dread of Rogelio.

Thanks, Kat. Great job.
Love the scene between Rosaura and Rogelio. Two fine actors stealing the scene from each other.
Poor little Margaro. He can't win. He's either living in constant fear or on the run. At least novela logic is on his side. Happiness will be his in the end.

I'm late on board, but need to thank you for the wonderful recap. Gus' two moods and AP's mode of dressing were especially funny.
The argument and breakup between Gus and AP was useful--separated them in a logical way, leaving AP free to return to Rogelio, however reluctantly.
Sorry to feel so harshly about Miguel, but I agree with either giving him something to do or kill him off. He's barely useful as a plot device, let alone as a brother. I guess he helps give weight to Rohell's hold on AP.

cathyx, you asked about when Abismo de Pasion was going to be shown. Today an ad for it shown during LQNPA, Univision announced that AdeP would begin Monday at 9 pm.
It's going to be a long time before AP realizes what Tia MentiRosa is really like. It bugs me that most of the time this happens as a major light-bulb moment in the penultimate episode.
With the current setback Rogelio doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of convincing her of anything for at least the next 50 episodes.

Yeah, the writers sure have set up a mountain of obstacles between AP and Rogelio. This is going to take a long time!

It's so satisfying to know that between the recappers and the ones posting comments, you all see what I see, question the same holes in logic (por no decir outright idiocy), and continue to watch! Excellent point about Rogelio usually being a shrewd judge of character but missing the boat with Bruno. If it weren't for his anger, he's got a really good personality - honest in business, smart, funny (remember when he told Bruno "What, do you need me to write you a book?"), and he showed patience and understanding when talking to AP about idealizing her love because he was gone. So just what exactly does it mean that Rohell "can't have hijos"? Does it mean nada de nada, or just infertility? Based on the book-writing, I guess nada.
