Caray, Caray!

So Camila's pregnant? At least she has lots of experience in dealing with childish tantrums.

Has the capitan been too busy to realize that a body hasn't been found? This has been said before, but Mariana's the most sane one here. Maybe they should all be hit on the head until they lose their memories. Couldn't hurt.

Blue Lass thank you for your recap and patience. Lovely quote by the way. The writers pretended to give us bodas interruptus but then continued let the Prince of Darkness reign. If we are subjected him raping her, I'll be on recaps only.

I'm tried of the Negrete's physically abusing people and Lulu's attacking our poor Mariana was bad. Before any of the terrible trio (the Pig, the Prince, and Crazy Ho) either meet their death or the manicomo each needs to receive some type of beat down. Perhaps in prison where innocents are usually harmed some nice criminal will put a hurt on them.

The Gasbag and Pig can be quite fun. And this fantasy about the Marmot being a tiger in the bedroom made me wonder if I'd step into another novela. Doris might be right about losing her control over the Pig. It could be an interesting fight to the death b/t those three.
 

OMG, Kelly, I was so surprised when Camila toppled over that a pregnancy didn't even OCCUR to me! Maybe when Tony gets her cornered, she'll york all over him.

I have to say this TN is not acting like it's in últimos capítulos. New characters, new plotlines, new threats...
 

Thanks Blue Lass. This episode was all over the map, but the way you recapped it it began to make sense. I thought it was hilarious with Elvira recognized the Major Domo. He even tried to fib his way out of it but she wasn't biting. Army recognized him too.

Well Leukemia is probably out so yep, I'd say Cameela is preggers.

ITA that those Negretes are physically abusive and just downright rude. Even Flor was acting out. Sheesh.

Kelly, I also wondered why Padro was so emphatic about Lucrazia being dead when there has been no body found. I know for a fact that it doesn't take the fire department that long to investigate a fire scene. Beanie time.

What a great quote. I'll have to remember that one. And the title...well it's just perfect.
 

Did you know people really do say "HAR" when they blurt out a laugh? That's just what I did with your title. Loved the whole recap, too.
"all hat and no cows" lol
"are we sure she (Flor) is not related to Elvira"? Hey, I remember on my first recap remarking how Flor stamped her foot just like Elvira in that episode. Funny!
"Elvira" was truly the name given as the great poke from the past? No puede ser.
Congratulations on spelling Horse Ovaries correctly. That was funny when Elvira recognized Dr. Doh-Mo.
So many parts of this show are entertaining. I think the actors are doing the best job they can. They have certainly convinced us all as to their characters.

Kelly - I also didn't even think of Camila as pg. Por supuesto!

Rosemary la Otra
 

Looks like I was the last one to chime in on Mads' recap from yesterday. Let me reiterate:
I gave an LOL to Anita's hilarious description of Camila's wedding outfit had Antonio picked it out.
I laughed at Mads' Listerine comment.
And, I asked what ever happened to Camila and Doris teaming up to stop the wedding? Didn't they have a brief truce?

Word verification: pubalan - when our galan is still in puberty
 

Blue Lass Cami and Doris could have come to an agreement but our brainless martyr decided to be noble and close off ALL options for stopping her future experience in Hades.

Yes Kelly Cami is pregnant but the evil prince might try to push her down some stairs. It will be interesting to see what/if the writers come up with to keep them from consummating the marriage. Thankfully the trite TN convention of heroine marrying bad guy does not allow sex to happen and I'm our writers know this.
 

I recognized a re-use of a wardrobe item! The darling black and white sunburst striped dress that an extra was wearing at the wedding is one that was worn in CME, I believe by Coni. I remember commenting on how cute is was back then.

Camila passes out after Antonio does his marriage vow part, but before hers. She's only halfway married to Pedro, too. Pregunta: Do 2 half weddings equal a whole marrige?

If this wedding goes through, won't Camila be a bigamist? You'd think she lived here in Utah. I guess we'd need to know if Mariana is still considered dead or if her reappearance negated the wedding entre Pedro y Camila.
 

Blue Lass loved your recap, title to finish. Loved the quote too it was perfect. Ditto El Viral recognizing the Major Domo. She should have said something, but oh no, that wouldn't do.

Loved Flor stamping her foot. She really couldn't do anything else. I hated her dress though. It really didn't look good on her.

Cameela preggers. Interesting. I just hope the Prince of Darkness never finds out. I don't want to happen to her what happened to Mariana. Did you notice how concerned Papa Pig was about Cameela. That was interesting. I thought he couldn't care less about her.

Poor Mariana, what is she a punching bag for the Negretes? Horrible. Pedro had it part way figured out, if only he would take a jaunt to Alcatrash and see.

RlaO-Cameela and Pedro are only married in the church. They are not legally married, so to speak. Mariana actually is still married to Pedro, she has not been declared dead. They are divorcing now. In order for Cameela and Pedro to be legally married, they would have to have been married civilally and of course Mariana stopped that, or else Pedro would have been a bigamist. Cami and the Prince of Darkness are not quite married yet. She hasn't signed the papers.I like your idea of two half weddings lol.

We saw a Negret cousin in this too. She didn't seem that bad. I like how the Major Domo told Papa Pig that Cami should go to the hospital to be checked out, but that didn't happen either.

And the Gasbag, oh I can't wait for that anvil for her. Oh, look Cami's awake let's get back to the ceremony. Oh, Please where is the sleepytime tea for this woman????
 

R la O, good eye on the dress! Prima Negrete was practically popping out of it. I think I do remember Coni wearing it. I think she was slightly thinner than the prima.

Madelaine, I thought the prima seemed nice too. Way to normal to be a Negrete.
 

That was a Negrete cousin? I wonder if she is just here for the wedding or another new character.
 

Maybe she's the deus ex machina who flies in, explains where all the bodies are buried, marries up all the couples and leaves. Fingers crossed.
 

First - thanks for the great recap.

Second - Cap'n Sylvia thanks for this line Well Leukemia is probably out so yep, I'd say Cameela is preggers.

Third - as soon as I read she fainted I said Preggers by Pedro.

Fourth - incredible Elvira a tiger in bed, is it because she keeps quiet instead of being her usual snarky self?

Have to ask how many sad eyes did Cam do? And again I'm going to ask where was the wise Tia during this? It just seems the writers are holding her hostage in her office.

Please no more new characters, let's end this.

Personally, I think the Negretes should be lined up and everyone can get a chance to whack them. Then they should all look in the mirror and say repeatedly I will survive this TN.

First TN loaded with violence instead of plot/s.
 

Blue! I've gotta tell you something so coincidental given your title this week. I finally got back to that crossword puzzle from about 3 weeks ago where I asked you about a 6 letter word clue "Brackish Pond". Remember? You said F-R-E-S-N-0. lol Well, I FINALLY got the answer and it is L-A-G-O-O-N!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA
 

OMG, R la O, that is SO WEIRD.

I always take coincidences as an indication that I'm in the right place. And this *is* my favorite group of people. :)
 

Oh, RlaO- I had to put that bit about the Listerine for Doris. Can you imagine having to kiss the Papa Diablo. Ugh, I'd have to go to Costco and buy out the Listerine, jus' sayin'.
 

There is no amount of Listerine that would make Pig-kissing tolerable for me.

Muchas gracias por el recap!

What a wedding. It's beautiful outside, yet they gather in the gloomy household saloon. No one is really happy. Elvira keeps parroting the only thing rattling around her otherwise empty head and people keep giving her disgusted looks. Really it's amazing she hasn't been slapped more, or choked. And the bride looks ill and faints. Isn't it romantic?

I thought it was smart of Camila to just keel over. Her mistake was in waking up. She should have gone with more medical drama and gotten herself a trip to the hospital.

Actually, what Camila should do, if she for some reason won't let the marmot go to jail, is put Evilra on a plane to some country that won't extradite, and then not marry Coldhearted Hottie. Duh. Her problem is that she never thinks. Plus, BONUS, then she's rid of evil Ma, too!

I should open an advice agency for telenovela characters.
 

BL--Can't believe I read all of this and had nary a comment. They day before took it all out of me.

Gracias. Love the *I See Dead People* look. How on earth could Mariana ever have recognized Lucracczzia in that get-up....

Well, onto today's news. I missed the deadline for the Society Page, so Madelaine is taking it over for today. I'll be back on Monday with the latest.
Anita
 

I got "I See Dead People" from R la O's recap on Tuesday -- but Mariana looks like that a lot, so I think we'll get quite a bit more use out of it!
 

La Agencia de Consejo de Julia. So many suggestion possibilities:
shampoo to Antonio
tights to Rita
Miss Manners book to Panchito
Gardening book for Pedro (so he can grow a pair)
looser jeans for loose Lu
muzzle for Flor
IUD for Fabi
weights and a job for Army
Angel stays Angel
Valentin spills to El Capitan
just to name a few
 

Rosemary (la Otra), I think we should be partners in this venture!
 

We need to recommend a hazmat suit to Doris.
 

Julia, did the locksmith business not work out for you or are you expanding? When El Pig and Doris were in his bedroom I do believe it was the first time I'd ever seen a locked door on a telenovela. Tonio usually lock Loocrazia's door behind him but I doubt if she remembers.

Julia and Rosemary, I think you're going to be rich in your new venture. So many things to fix!
 

The locks are selling like hotcakes. Everyone is easily convinced to buy them. You can convince those people of almost anything (except to trust their novios). Problem is, they never remember to use them!

I'm now pushing a more advanced line of security systems. They'll close and lock the doors automatically when they sense rising body heat or lurkers outside. I'm also throwing in a free copy of The Gift of Fear with every installation.
 

Julia, I just watched today's episode. I'd say your locks work very well. If only Lucrazia weren't so crazy she'd be a great testimonial. Might I suggest a hard hat for Valentino?

The Gift of Fear, great idea. What will happen to our plotlines if our characters wise up too much? Nah...it'll never happen.
 

Haha! "Julia, did the locksmith business not work out for you or are you expanding?" Sylvia asks with a straight face. "The locks are selling like hotcakes" replies Julia as if everyone spends their days talking about imaginary businesses.

We do all have such an entrepreneurial spirit. Imagine if we really put our heads together and brainstormed. We'd create the next Facebook!

I vote we all get together and plan Phase II of our careers over nachos and margaritas at the cantina. Or Julia and I can continue our Consejo Partnership juntos.
 

I like your idea Julia for the locks and gift of fear lol. The recap for today (Friday) will be up sometime on Saturday. I just wanted to let you all know.
 

Love the new advice column. Tal*Mart may have to re-open a special line of on-line items advertised as Care Packages. We can advertise them as:

"x" $$ will purchase enough poison to supply Doc-Not for another 30 episodes. It will be shipped from somewhere either north or south of Fresno in a discretely wrapped, no return address, brown box.

"x" $$ will purchase a rainbow of colored headbands to supply Elvira for another 10 episodes, after which the package will self-destruct, hopefully while she's choosing one.

I can see all sorts of possibilities here.
Anita
 

"x" $$ will purchase enough Valium to keep Lu cool, calm and collected through just one episode.

Do we already have a pharmacist on-site?
 

Of course, RLO--the one, the only, Major Domo, Doc-of-all-Trades.
