Abismo de pasión #55 5/28/12: Shotgun wedding-Ur doing it rong
El Refrito
Pre-wedding jitters
- Elisa and Dam visit Steffie's grave (Note to Dam: first thing you need to do is buy a proper headstone for Steffie.)
- Alf visits Sr. Cat Food and he throws her out.
Pre-wedding jitters
- IrritatING wants to know where her necklace is. Gabino comes baring better gifts (Down, Cyn): pearl earrings. Yes, they are real, ING makes sure of that. Gross, ING licks the earring back before she puts in in her ear. Gab thinks that once ING has her share of the Arango fortune they can buy whatever they want. ING reminds Gab that Gael won’t even see her. (Dear maquillaje/peinado please get ING a new “Luke.” Pink lipstick circa 1964 and the payot do nothing for her.) They need to come up with a way to make Gael worried about her and want to see her.
- Assgu discusses the current Elisa problem with Carmina. She reminds him Elisa and Dam are siblings. It would be grody to the max if they got married. The Orange One thinks Elisa needs to know, but Assgu doesn’t think so. Besides, Elisa would just ask for proof...which he burned.
- Gab pays a visit to Padre Lupe and asks for Gael’s whereabouts. He claims he’s looking on behalf of an ill Ingrid. He tells Padre that he and Ingrid are not really so close anymore since Ingrid didn’t want to be seen with the likes of him. According to Gab, she didn’t want Gael to be ashamed of her for hanging out with scum. Gab plays like he doesn’t know who Gael’s dad is. Padre Lupe informs Gab that Gael has left the building.
- ING goes to visit Kenia at la casa rosa. They snipe at each other about who’s the bigger crook (ratero(a): petty thief.) Mom wants to know if Kenia told Gael about having a sister. She did. ING wants Kenia’s help in getting the Arango fortune and offers half of the money Fina paid her. Kenia accepts and demands the pearls too. At first ING balks, but eventually gives in after Kenia tells her that when Gael finds out he’s an Arango she will convince Gael NOT to share the fortune with ING. ING gives up the pearls as an advance payment (adelanto) and tells her they belonged to a dead woman. Oh this is going to get interesting. Look up, Kenia! There’s an anvil with your name on it! ING will give up the cash later. First she needs Kenia to tell Gael she is very ill and to help convince Gael to accept her.
- Sweet scene with Horacio and Lola. He asks her to be his novia. She’ll think about it. Chaste kiss and a pan over to the Brown Recluse from hell. Scary beech is scary. Inside, Lola admits to Elisa that Horacio is a suitor (pretendiente.) Girl talk. OOOPS! Lola is still has Horacio’s jacket on. She will run to catch up with him so she can see that the brown recluse managed to get from Casa Castigo to the center of town in no time. Broomstick, crutches…same difference. Carmina threatens to tell Lola that Horacio is a murderer if he doesn’t get the plane tickets from Gab. Horacio refuses, but Carmina says he’ll do it if he doesn’t want her to tell everything to Lola. At which point Lola walks up and says “What does she know about you Horacio?” I am also instituting a personal “she who shall not be named” rule for my recaps (like I had to do with Maripaz in LFDD.) Cheat-ho will henceforth be: HOMABFH-hobbling, orange mean-a$$ beech from hell.
- After the commercial, HOMABFH makes like her "big info" is that Horacio is friends with Gabino...which is apparently enough for Lola. She throws his jacket back at him and leaves. HOMAB (FH optional) tells Horacio to rethink doing the little favor for her.
- Assgu comes to Elisa and tells her that she and Dam can't be together. Elisa asks him to please stop blaming them for what happened. Assgu tells her he doesn't want her with Dam and they don't know what he's capable of.
- Dam arrives home to a Faking Fina. She claims her blood pressure is acting up thanks to his news about Elisa. Doesn't give a Dam tells her to take her meds and rest. He's done with her using her health as blackmail. Fina flashes back to a conversation with young Dam in which he tells her he wishes he was an orphan like Gael.
- Enrique moves in with Doc Dad.
- HOMAB arrives home and Lola is a little suspicious that she knows so much about Horacio's and Gab's social lives. HOMAB claims that she got into Lola's bidnez because if Lola is going to be friends with low-lifes, HOMAB has to protect her hogar from them.
- Gab returns home to Ingrid to report Gael's nowhereabouts. Ingrid mentions her visit to Kenia. Gab knows immediately that Kenia milked her mom for cash. ING flips and Gab says he will look for Gael. He can't be hard to find. Gael really only has agricultural skills.
- Lupe and Kenia exchange notes and discover neither of them knows where Gael is.
- Don Lucio visits Doc Toofar at the Only Inn. Lucio wants a rush on the blood tests. Doc will go to Merida personally. Lucio tells him the secret wedding is at 12 so get those results STAT.
- Tonia visits Gab and tells him to stay away from Vicente. Methinks Gab suspects Vicente is his. "He's not your son. He has my temperament."
- Be-gone-ya visits Alf to be up front about Quique's visit to the DF. She also tells Fina about seeing Dam and Elisa at the Only Inn. They were visiting Doc who wrote orders for some medical tests. Blabby hag. Alf immediately calls Gab and tells him to investigate what tests were ordered and why. I love how Gab is all "I'm Mister Man" until Alf starts barking.
- HOMAB goes to see Paolo at the office (ridculous place to look for him, hon) and runs into Gab...who flaps his gums about the medical tests. He just wants to warn her since, you know, she FAKED the last tests.
- Don Lucio visits Padre Lupe. Padre is worried about Gael. Lucio tells Padre about the civil wedding since Padre didn't marry them. Lucio says Padre didn't support them. Padre says he supports them, but they are being hasty and he doesn't like them being secretive. Wow, Lucio recognizes they are adults and tells Padre he should be supporting Dam. Padre asks about that thing Lucio needed to confirm. Lucio has faith he will get the info he needs before the wedding. He tells Padre he should go to show family support. The secret wedding is at 12.
- Elisa is ecstatic, Lola not so much. Lola is sad because Elisa's marriage means Lola's reason for living is no more. Elisa won't need her to care for her any more. Tears and tenderness. Elisa says Lola will come with her after she marries, but Lola doesn't want to be an estorbo (nuisance.)
- Sabrina visits Quique FF>>
- Gab reports his findings to Fina: it was a pre-nuptial work up. When Fina asks if Dam is at the Pro Ce Sa Do Ra Tonia lets her know that Dam and Braulio left very early, but she doesn't think they went to the Pro Ce. Braulio was too dressed up and perfumed for that.
- Assgu receives a phone call on his ancient telephone.
Registro Civil
- The wedding party is gathering. Dam says Lucio is making him nervous. Elisa finally arrives and her boobies are modestly covered. For a minute Dam thought she has changed her mind. She suddenly realizes she's forgotten her amulet. Lola and Paloma tell her to chill. It's not that important. Lucio is more than willing to
stallgo back and get it. The judge gets things started. Damian's full name: Damian Arango Mondragon (recognize the name, LFDD fans?) Oh brother, Lucio doesn't have his ID and won't be able to sign. Padre Lupe to the rescue!!! He's arrived and with ID! - Doc Toofar is suddenly at the Registro as well. He's got the test results and oddly HOMAB is also there waiting...just like a spider. She grabs the envelope from the distracted Doc and shoves it in her shirt with her boobs. He demands the envelope back and it's about this time that Assgu shows up...with a shotgun.
- Dam and Elisa are both there of their own free will....and Assgu interrupts with his shotgun. Everyone tries to calm him down. Elisa will leave with him right now! Padre tells him to calm down and even strikes a Christ-like pose. Padre almost succeeds, but Assgu is determined. Struggle, BANG!!! Dam grabs his crotch...no, no... sorry, it's a femoral artery shot. Everyone stands around. No one calls the ambulance. Credits.
Avances
- Tragedy!
- Every minute counts!
- Seconds are crucial!

Great work!
A femoral artery shot is usually fatal and in a town this backward it would be.
Oy, vey. Where are the police when they are needed?
I can't believe TangeloHo got away with stealing the blood test results. Can't Dr Tovar call the lab for a replacement copy?

Oh this is wonderful, Sara! Thank you!
I do love HOMAB (optional: FH) -- just inspired!
Was anyone else thinking Elmer Fudd when Augie showed up with his scopeta? He did indeed catch himself a wascally wabbit.
Oh so many points to ponder --
Will Doc T catch up with the HOMAB? And if he does, will he dare to go for the gold?
Will Gael be brought back as a blood donor for Dam?
Will the REAL ADN results come to light?
And the moral of the episode:
Magic amulet: Don't leave home without it.

Sara thanks for the recap; nice title too.
Agent Orange-ho is so fortunate I'm not the doctor in that crazy town. I would have grabbed her crutch, took the test back and left her diseased behind on the floor. I hope the Doc realizes that O-ho's preoccupation with these blood test is something more.
The advances made me cheer with the police taking the Idiot away.
Nice to see you NovelaMaven. You've been missed.

Sara:
You did a wonderful job recapping this very exciting episode. Thank you for the lead-in to tomorrow's epi. Great work.
Welcome home, Novela Maven. You have been sorely missed.
Karen, we should be so lucky as to have you dealing with Carmina. I will bet you would take her crutch, grab the envelope and run. A woman might be able to get away with reaching down her blouse to retrieve the envelope. Go Karen!
Hopefully the Doc grocks what Carmina was up to with the test results. He may be a fool for love but he has his medical ethics intact. This problem is solvable--but I am guessing they will drag it out forever.
EJ

Good morning, All!
Novela Maven!!!! Waking up to your rapier wit just made my day.
UA-aren't they actually in Merida right now? Would there be medical care there? I have to admit I laughed out loud when I watched because it looked so much like a groin shot.
Karen-I'm sending you after the HOMAB. I'm hoping Doc takes a minute to think and connect the dots about HOMAB's obsession with the results...but I'm not holding my breath.
Anon207-Your "What we learned" lists are so helpful. "Alfonsina's daughter" *snort* :-)
EJ-I want you to know that during the opening credits when Elisa leaves the cenote, I thought of you.

So funny Sara. The whole episode was like a sad comedy of errors. Oh, and that ending?
Yeah, Asshat looked stupid with the gun and you just knew someone was going to get it. When it was Dam, sorry, but I bust out laughging when it looked like it hit in the nether region thinking "well, that's one way to make sure nothing happens", but then saw where the bullets really went in.
The whole paternity test grab and stash by "she who shall not be named" was just lame. Yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again, there would be records at the lab! Carmina should enjoy having Asshat in jail for a spell. Paolo can come over for a sleepover.
We do know Dam has a rare blood type. But if noone knows where Gael is, how do they get him back as a donor? (Cell phones would be handy here!)
Maybe it's too early to reveal that tidbit of info that he's really Dam's bro?
Not so sure Kenia is in cahoots with mumsy. Maybe she's playing her? That woman is so unpleasant to watch. Thank goodness for Basketball playoffs.
Doc and Quiqui.Cute scene.
Oh, and NM, I agree: "Magic amulet: Don't leave home without it."

Daisynjay: I suspect that the scene in which Gab says he'll look for Gael was set up.
I'm sure Gab will be successful. Now, will he tell Gael about Dam (a sure way to get him back in town) or will he tell him the lame "mom is sick" story (which is not a slam dunk way to get Gael back to La Ermita.)

Wasn't there discussion back when this was announced over the issue of DNA testing and how it could change the entire series because of when the story was originally written?
Caridad Bravo Adams died in 1990, before DNA testing was possible. However, two of her other stories were adapted to incorporate this in their most recent incarnations although it seems a much bigger issue in this one.

Awesome, Sara!
I LOVE LOVE… HOMABFH-hobbling, orange mean-a$$ beech from hell.
And your grand finale…
BANG!!! Dam grabs his crotch...no, no... sorry, it's a femoral artery shot. Everyone stands around. No one calls the ambulance. Credits.
NM!... welcome back!
Was anyone else thinking Elmer Fudd when Augie showed up with his scopeta? He did indeed catch himself a wascally wabbit.
Will Doc T catch up with the HOMAB? And if he does, will he dare to go for the gold?
And the moral of the episode:
Magic amulet: Don't leave home without it.
ROFLOL!!
EJ,
A woman might be able to get away with reaching down her blouse to retrieve the envelope. Go Karen! … great idea!
Daisynjay,

Ditto!!
Sara,
I suspect that the scene in which Gab says he'll look for Gael was set up.
Well, I seriously doubt they will make Gab the ‘hero’ in that sense. I am thinking more like Gael will call Lupe to report back that he found a job somewhere else and Lupe (who probably knows Gael’s blood type from his childhood) will tell him about what happened, but won’t tell him that they are brothers…
UA,
Good point on the DNA testing… lets be honest... DNA testing might come quickly to someone's mind if they are in a city where things like that are very common... but at La Ermita? Only Doc T would even know about those… (or maybe Dam, but he has no reason to suspect anything, until after Gael comes back)… what Dr T needs to do is whipp Carmina silly until she spills out the envelope…

ok, in the previews...
i bet if Dr T was in the room he would not have let them help Damian up if he saw how much he was bleeding...
the LAST thing you want is to put the heart ABOVE the wound spot if the bleeding is bad... on the contrary, you want to lay him flat, put pressure on the wound and lift the leg if possible...
...yes, Alfie,, that is what YOU brought about on yourself and on Disgusto with all this hatred and selfishness... so cry all you want now...

Marta- I bow to you're superior reasoning skills. Of course you are correct. No way will gab be made a hero. I was blinded by abs and pectorals. :)
Hopefully Doc heard the shots and will come running.
Hopefully Doc heard the shots and will come running.
Lucio yells that Dam is loosing much blood and immed puts his handkerchief on the wound... so why don't they carry Dam to the clinic instead of letting him stand up?...
three men (granted, older but capable) and three women should be enough to carry him over...
Braulio and Dam came in a car/suv so they should not need to WALK him there...
then again in novelas when you need places near each other they seem to be in different towns, and when you need them far they seem to be a few strides away ...
i expect a total chaos to ensue tonight... Disgusto locked up and pandemonium going on in the Clinic.

I EJ, practically every guy in town has already had his hands down Carmina's blouse, so why do they have to be squeamish NOW?
Hoo-hoo. I'm getting GALAN HOSPITALIZED; I know it. I don't need no stinkin' stairs.

Brilliant Sara! I also laughed when it looked like Augie had hit Dam's family jewels. That's definitely one way to solve the problem. But where he was hit is a horribly dangerous spot.. He's going to lose a lot of blood.
Before all hell broke loose, I thought that both Dam and Elisa looked really cute. Ah, young love! I had another laugh out loud moment when Lucio gave Padre the stink eye for whipping out his ID, when Lucio was trying to stall things by pretending he didn't have his own.
I am hopping mad that Carmeany has her hands on the DNA results, AGAIN. I can't stand it. Please don't let her change them again. I wish Doc would stop being so darn ethical and open the results himself as soon as he gets them. Instead he always waits to give them to the person who requested them, and no one but the bad guys know the truth.
I don't think Kenia intends to play Ingrid's game. She intends to play her. Ingrid already found that out when Gab told her Gael had left town. Kenia was all prepared to take half the money and not deliver on her promise to help bring Gael around. Clever girl.

The galan's family jewels are always safe, but I was imagining Assgusto laughing at the alternate possibility.
There is definitely going to be a big to-do in the hospital scenes that will follow this. And I echo the previous comment about somebody grabbing that envelope from Agent Orange's much-handled cleavage.

Thank you for the recap! You cleared up a few things for me.
I can't believe that Carmina got away with the results... maybe we never saw if the good doctor caught up with her. He can request a copy of the results right?
If I was Augusto after I learned the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth I would shoot myself in the head.
I wonder if Alfonsina will continue to hate the Castañon family after the truth comes out? But I'm getting too far ahead... Let's worry about Damian!
Could Kenia be a possible donor too? She is completely unrelated to Damian but is it possible?
Horacio should just man up and tell Dolores the truth. if he loses her he loses her that is what he deserves.

I'm sure the Botox Queen lives on her hatred, so no. Estefania was pretty and loved. Assgusto loved her. Rosendo no longer loved Alfonsina.
Thank you for recap.
UA - the first thing that went through my mind when HOMAB grabbed the test results what, oh, well, just get another copy. But, Dr. Toofar is probably too far gone to think of that.
I really thought that it would be Damian who would save Gael, but it turns out to be just the opposite.

Karen, EJ, Sara, and Marta -- Thanks so much for the welcome home. This has to be the kindest, most gracious online community I know.
Sara, Is this the first mention of Ingrid's do as "payot"? Because that's how I've thought of them all along. Now all we need is the long black beard and the hat ...
UA, as Sara said, they seem to be in Mérida, a sizable city with modern healthcare available. If Elmer Fudd had struck in La Ermita, it might be a different story (although Doc T knows his way around an emergency -- didn't he save the HOMABFH after she went SPLAT in the empty pool?)
Daisy, like you and Vivi, I think Kenia is just Playing Ingrid. In fact, I wondered if she was planning to place the pearls before the swine, Augusto (since Kenia is the only one who doesn't seem to hear his oink or pick up the stench he wallows in.) Unfortunately Playing Ingrid might be considered an extreme sport, one that carries a high risk of death, as others have pointed out.
I DO think Gabino will locate Gael and he will be brought back to help Damián, whether their status as brothers is revealed or not.
EJ, when I saw that something was afoot, I did my own investigation. Well. Now I have R la O's Instructions for Exiting a Cenote on a wallet-sized card which I carry nestled between my PigglyWiggly shopper's card and my CPR cheatsheet. You never know.
As for disappearing waists, I'm reminded of a lyric I wrote several years back called "The Postpartum Lament" and sung to the Supremes' "Where did our love go?"
It goes ♪♪Oooh, baby, baby, baby where did my waist go?...♪♪

Sara, what a snappy, fun recap! I too loved HOMABFH. Thanks! Is school out yet? My grandsons are out here in Nashville.
UA: "A femoral artery shot is usually fatal and in a town this backward it would be." Too funny! Using a shotgun at such close range would have taken out many of the arteries in the room! Beanie time!
Blue Lass, you are hot today,
"practically every guy in town has already had his hands down Carmina's blouse, so why do they have to be squeamish NOW?"

"-hoo. I'm getting GALAN HOSPITALIZED; I know it. I don't need no stinkin' stairs."
Two best scenes in the novela so far....Dr.T giving it to Begonia yesterday and Damian blowing off his simpering, whimpering, low blood pressure, conniving, Botoxed, super MEAN mom last night! Yes, shut up and take your meds mom.
Dave, as you most likely know, the writers love to leave clues for us, they have laid the groundwork for Gael to be the donor, same dad, unusual blood type...... Or they could surprise us!
EJ, great leg, great tan! You are a hoot!
UA: "A femoral artery shot is usually fatal and in a town this backward it would be." Too funny! Using a shotgun at such close range would have taken out many of the arteries in the room! Beanie time!
Blue Lass, you are hot today,

Thanks, Sara! What a fun, fast-paced recap.
Loved:
- Down, Cyn. lol
- HOMABFH
- Dam grabs his crotch.. and the whole rest of that paragraph. Written out makes a scary scene seem almost comical.
Thanks so much!

Ummm Broomsticks, crutches same difference. I wondered the same thing. How in the heck Carmina get down there so quickly. I thought she was standing on a high wall or balcony surrounded by bushes. Did she vault over the bushes and crawl down the wall and sprint down the street on crutches? Geez.

Blue Lass- "I don't need no stinkin' stairs" made me LOL.

Why are you all so worried about the bloody DNA?!
The hero has a wound in the femoral artery. There is probably not a vascular surgeon in town, but I'm sure one will magically appear because he's wearing an amulet, too.
Bottom line: All they have to do is type and crossmatch and they will come a heck of a lot closer (and faster than PCR)to putting two and two together: Elisa will NOT be able to donate blood. Period. They are not related. End of story.
That sorry wretch of a father. That misguided, angry, fool who has yet to show me any reason why he should be redeemed. The miserable wretch needs to pay and pay dearly for being so stupid and abusive.

Novela Maven, welcome back!! Loved the recap, thanks! HOMAB - See, I knew someone would come up with some great new names for Carmina. It's perfect on so many levels, not to mention it rolls right off the tongue.
"Broomstick, crutches…same difference." Amen to that sister.
I wonder if Kenia will give the pearls to Augusto to try to endear herself to him?
You've got to be kidding, Carmina grabs the test results, she's hobbling around on crutches and Doc Tovar can't even wrestle them out of her hands?
Assgusto had better end up in jail for his shotgun stunt. The guy is seriously damaged. Karen, thanks for mentioning the police were walking him away, my previews were cut off.
There should now be TWO separate records at the lab in Merida that have Elisa's true test results. Doc Tovar, get your butt over there in person and ask for them!
Novela Maven and Sara, I described Ingrid's do as a payot back in one of my earlier recaps, but I think Novela Maven was on hiatus then.
This was a terrific recap of a very exciting episode. I can't wait to see what happens tonight.

Unfortunately Playing Ingrid might be considered an extreme sport, one that carries a high risk of death, as others have pointed out.
yeah, i see a dark cloud following that girl since she decided to double play her mom like that... too bad, i really wanted her to get close to Gael and know what a real loving relative is like... but she took that from herself with that move...

Sylvia,
Assgusto had better end up in jail for his shotgun stunt. The guy is seriously damaged. the problem is this will give Alfie a PERFECT excuse and blackmail ammu to force Elisa to get away from Damian (the ol stinkin blackmail of 'or your dad will rot in jail' scheme)
There should now be TWO separate records at the lab in Merida that have Elisa's true test results. Doc Tovar, get your butt over there in person and ask for them!
yeah but with the Dam emergency situation that could take weeks!

What a great day...another brisk boom boom boom recap from Sara and the return of Novela Maven. Doesn't get better than this.
Sara...always love the bullet points. Good for the chronically befuddled, like yours truly. Also loved:
"Doesn't give a Dam"
"blabby hag" [Begoñia]
"Tears and tenderness." (therein lies your skill...with just three words you really conveyed the heart of that scene. Awesome.)
Thanks for your ability to distill so much into so crisp a recap, and still be funny as hell.

Oops, I just re-read my comment and I want to clarify...Welcome back Novela Maven. Loved the recap Sara. My blathering kudos sounded rather confusing.
Oh shoot, Marta you are right about Damn Fina using Disgusto's incarceration as ammo.

♪♪Oooh, baby, baby, baby where did my waist go?...♪♪
NM - you've now got me humming that this afternoon. Glad to have you back with your wonderful insights.
Thinking of Kenia with the pearls--wasn't she at the bank when Asshat stopped Irritating asking about them? So she could be thinking of returning them to him possibly? Oh, wouldn't that just yank Guppy Face's chain? Well, and Gabs' too...yeah, that poor girl has one very large anvil hanging by a very thin thread over her.
If Gael gets back and II pulls the "I'm dying" crap, hopefully he either doesn't believe her and demands proof or Kenia spills the truth. I really don't want that tired old plot line being used. Why do we have to put up with that witch anyway and Flo is all but invisible most days. Heck, we hardly even get a Gabs shirtless scene because of II. Worthless, I say, worthless. Flo should be done shopping now, bring her back. I'd rather watch Altair being devious any day. And Abs can get sweaty at work and take his shirt off there. We need to keep Cynderella happy :)

I wonder if someone will suggest that ELISA give blood (Lucio for example) as a way for the sibling truth to be revealed, but the doctors will announce that Elisa can't donate b/c she and Dam do NOT have the same blood type and Dam has a rare blood type and their will be much handwringing until Gael shows up?

"Damian Arango Mondragon (recognize the name, LFDD fans?)"
Oh noes! Does this mean he is also related to Eulalia in LHDM? Aaaaack. (LOL)
I see the anvil over Kenías head, too!
Gah. I hope Gabino doesn't look for Gael amongst the mariachi bars. After all, Gael learned to sing really will in his last gig (LHDM).
Doesn't Lola realize Elisa will need a cook & housekeeper? Lola haz job securiteeee.
Why doesn't anyone think it is just … a … little… strange … that Carmina grabs and stuffs the blood test results? . . . Oh never mind . . . where is my telenovela beanie hat . . .
" Dam Fine learned how close he was to becoming Alfonsina's daughter."
ROFLOL!!!
" … practically every guy in town has already had his hands down Carmina's blouse, so why do they have to be squeamish NOW?"
more ROFLOL!!!
Now I'm off to go watch my recording of this episode. Hubby and I finally got caught up last night on Grey's Anatomy. My nerves couldn't take it. Too stressful of a season ending. Ack.

for whatever it is worth, Mark T's singing ahs improved quite a bit since LHDM... from last clip I saw from Sabadazo...

Ingrid's 'do as payot. lol
Seriously, if she is trying to disguise herself with those huge sunglasses (that unfortunately are not large enough to cover the hideous pink lipstick circa 1964)and that scarf, she needs to tuck in her... ringlets? sideburns? wings? Outside of Brooklyn that 'do sticks out.
I bet you're looking forward to June 11, Sara!

Sara - Please for give my manners! I forgot to thank you (in my post above) for the recap. It is a fun read and full of great snark. I continue to love your bullet format!
When Lucio got busted upside the head, Dr. Tovar got Elisa to give up a sample of blood to test it "in case Lucio needs blood."
Viewerville knows the blood was drawn for the secret blood test but will Elisa inquire about her blood type, now that Damian is losing so much blood?
If Damian has the rare blood type and Tovar tests Elisa for compatibility, all of these snatched DNA tests are a moot point.

Bwahahaha! My evil plot is working. Even when I'm home working on my bellybutton lint, I steal credit for Sylvia's wit! Well from now on, I'm going to think of this dreadful do as Rabbi Jacob's revenge.
Daisy, Sylvia and JudyB, I am touched by your generous comments. Thank you so much.

NM, to tell you the truth, I recall being slightly miffed at the time because you were not around to crack wise about our favorite Rabbi Jacob. And yes, you get all the credit for that!
My lame-o cable company showed last Friday's episode last night. I'm so glad I had a recap to read to catch up. I wonder if they will be an episode behind now.
About the blood types. Siblings can have different blood types, so just because Dam and Elisa will be different won't automatically preclude that they aren't brother and sister. But at least it will make others question their relationship.

"O, I wish I had Alfonsina's Figure"
(Sung to the tune of I wish I had an Oscar Meyer Weiner.)
Oh, NM:
You tease you:
I need all the lyrics to the Post- Partum Lament. Do send them along; off-line if that is more appropriate. I am lamenting all day, everyday right now. I am trying to find a MOB dress for my daughter's February 2012 Beach wedding on the Beach in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. So far, I look like a refrigerator box on legs in the offerings served up by Nordstrom's Bridal Shop. Uggg!
Maybe I can sit down for photos?

DaisyJ, have you noticed that no one has been taking their shirts off lately? Not that I care, but the girls have all be kind of chaste too. They must be waiting for sweeps week or something. I've had to actually concentrate of the dialog.
Shouldn't Dr. Tovar have made Dam Fine lie on the floor and rip open his shirt for me? I mean in order to perform CPR or something? Goodness, do I have to write every scene for them? I could have made this a way more interesting scene than it is. Hopefully, when they do the blood transfusion, the doctor will have both Dam Fine and Gael (as long as he's not wearing pink lipstick) lying next to each other in the operating room with their chests exposed (like in the movie ET). I know Dam Fine wasn't shot in the thigh, but this is my version of Abismo. OK, maybe the sheets can over their boy bits only. Everything else (abs, delts, pecs, thighs, head, shoulders knees and toes and eyes and ears and mouth and nose) will be exposed to reflect the seriousness of the operation. Oh. Sorry.

Cynderella, you so crack me up. What they should do for tonight's show is give us a close up with him naked, showing his wound, with the naughty parts covered up. Could you be happy with that?
Indeed, I would be. Maybe Gabby is his long lost cousin on his father's side. He has the blood type too.
I've had the worst afternoon at work ( and coming off a 5 day vacation break never helps) and then I come to the 'ole Caray site and there is Cynderella to just make me bust out laughing!
"Goodness, do I have to write every scene for them?"
Oh, how I wish you could!
"Goodness, do I have to write every scene for them?"

Thanks Sara, this is excellent. I'm sure I've said this before but it's worth repeating... I really admire your work and your wicked humor.
Please people, do not underestimate the skills of rural and small town physicians. Dr; Tovar has been a competent and ethical (with the exception of having sex with a patient) from the beginning so I've no doubt that he can stabilize Damien enough to get him to a vascular (or for that matter a general) surgeon.
Of course he may need some blood to accomplish that although in the early going it's volume replacement that is critical.
As Gustavo's advocate I'm certain that he had no intention of hurting anyone. He really needs to reserve the shotgun for bird hunting, not social interactions.
Dave,
"Could Kenia be a possible donor too?"
Sure... if she has the same blood type as Damien.
By the way, it doesn't necessarily follow that because Gael has the same daddy that he would be a suitable donor. It depends, just as it would with anyone, upon his blood type.
Both the father and the mother each have 4 possible components of which to contribute 2 to the child's blood type. One each of A B or O and one each of Rh+ or Rh-.
Of course it is a certainty that Gael will be turn out to be a match... TN rules doncha know.

as in, IV fluids?... i haven't seen any IV fluids given to ANYONE in this novela so far... hopefully Dr T has some in the back closet. It's a clinic, no?

Sara, I would never turn my nose up at a quickie that is well-executed. (Not that your recap really qualifies as a quickie, just sayin'.)
Marta, yes, and certainly the clinic would have several different IV solutions. In ERs here we begin with a volume expander called Lactated Ringer's Solution which is a balanced electrolyte solution.
Do we know Damien's blood type? If it is AB+ the donor could theoretically be anyone and if AB- it could be anyone with Rh- blood.

EJ - I think you missed your daughter's February 2012 wedding. But if she decides to have another in February 2013, I suggest trying on a wraparound dress. Those are deceptively slimming.
Sylvia - I finished the Friday Rabbi Jacob book! About to start the Saturday one. Did you know they are out of print?

R la O, I just got notified today that it's my turn to pick up the Friday Rabbi book. I'm going to the library right now. No, I didn't know they are out of print but I think my library has most of them. They might be missing one or two.
R la O thanks for clearing up EJ's wedding date. I saw that 2012 date and thought that I had been signing my checks wrong all year!
Great comments all day long.....
Great comments all day long.....
Thing is, Dam Fine made sure to let us/Elisa know that he has a "rare" blood type, same as his daddy.
That wasn't said for no reason, so you know there's going to be this big drama where Elisa will be revealed not to be the sister of Damian but Gael will be (cuz you know he'll have the same rare blood type as Rosendo and Damian).
At any rate, Tovar can probably clear up this paternity mystery without needing Elisa's 1st or 2nd test results, although he needs to start thinking why it's so important for Carmina to have Augusto think Elisa is not his daughter.

June 11th, Sara, June 11th. Then you can hit Refresh all day long til your finger blisters. By the end of the summer you should have a nice callous going!
It will be very interesting how the writers handle the blood type thing. I think it would be great if it turns out that Gael is not a suitable donor but someone else (especially Elisa) is.
Damien did not inherit his rare blood type from his father. He inherited 1/2 of the 4 components that make up his unique blood type (which just happens to be the same as his dad's) from his dad and 1/2 from his mom. The same is true of Gael.
The only way that it could be 100% guaranteed with certainty that Gael and Damien would have been destined to have the same blood type would be for Rosendo, Ingrid, and Alfonsina to all be O-. Anything else would depend on chance.
If that is the case then both Alfonsina and Ingrid would potential donors as well.
Sorry if I'm causing eyes to glaze over.

How did you know? LOL
It's not you, it's me. I never did well when we got to blood type in Biology 101...but I think it's because I'm lazy. I'm a TN writer's dream. I never question anything medical/technical. I am very gullible and accepting.
