Caray, Caray!

Julia thanks for your recap. ITA w/your description of Rebe's doc. He was horribly incompetent and brought back memories of those tales about Catholic hospital being dangerous for women b/c if there was a life and death situation, the baby would be chosen.

So Kari's is really pregnant. These bad side plots are just painful. And looks like poor Dona Fer will be in the hospital again. Groan!
 

It feels like Sebastián and his ex wandered in from a really heavy drama filming on the next soundstage. Hopefully he'll lighten up eventually. Where's Pina when you need her?
 

Wow. These telenovelas sure present doctors in a bad light. Either they're corrupt and fake results for money or they're incompetent like Rebe's medico.

Always love your recaps and opinions, Julia. Favorite line:

"Like the Terminator that can't be terminated"

Not sure if it's because Adrian played such a skank on CME or if the actor is just disagreeable in general, but I dislike him almost as much as I abhor Pancho and his high-pitched screaming. Every time Rebe murmurs how much she loves Pancho I wonder WHY?

Sebastian looked good in his light gray sports coat yesterday. Sorry I missed the Enzo scenes without clothing though.

Thanks again Julia.
 

Julia- Thanks for the recap and for pointing out the incompetence of Rebe's doc. If it was the U.S., there'd be a lawsuit. I wish they would stop with the "choose your wife or your baby" storyline. Is this still done in Mexico??? But I did feel for Pancho considering he had gone through this before. It was his worst nightmare come true.

I also hope Pina comes back soon to kick Viv back to wherever she came from and to lighten up Sebas' world. He needs some fun. Blue Lass, Sebas and Viv both wandered over from La Que No Podia Amar, and brought all that heavy drama with them.

The love life of the younguns is WAY complicated. I'm glad Fred is at least sticking to his guns that he and Kari are caput, even if they share a child.

Enzo and Chela have given us some good lovemaking scenes the last few episodes. Very different from the first few weeks of his Monterey adventure when he was too tired to do anything when he was home and fell asleep. Seems like he's learned to compartmentalize-- sweet/caring father and sexy husband at home, and hard driving business titan at the office. I really don't think Chela is going to like the idea of moving their whole little family to Monterey.
 

I just read the LQNPA comments and it turns out the "choose the woman or the baby" plot line was used there too last night. Gah!
 

Thank you Julia for this great recap. I agree with you about the C section, Rebe could have stroked out her BP was so high. I am glad she and the babies are ok.

Loved Ado this epi. I love how she always listens to Pina and Freddy and I liked that she called Freddy Jouven Amors Hermosho.

Can't stand Adrian and Kari. They would be so great together. I really hope Ana doesn't choose him and Kari has just lost her mind. I think Kari is hoping that when Pina gets back, she will guilt Freddy into being with Kari.

I know it gets old but I love the family dynamic here. Whenever there is a problem they all get together to support each other.

Dona Rebe and Candy are so much fun together. I really liked how Candy thought that guy was into her but it was Dona Rebe lol.
 

Julia:

Thanks for the recap. Good grief, I thought this episode would never end. Congrats to all you recappers for the upcoming end of this ultra-marathon. I really appreciate your commitment—and your stamina.

Blue - ITA. Sebastian is probably still depressed from being stabbed in a parking lot a couple of weeks ago over on LQNPA. From darkest TN currently airing to airhead UFCS—that's kind of a rough transition. Perhaps he'll buck up soon.

Omigosh, I thought Vivi was kidding! He really *did* wander over from LQPNA? (That's the only evening TN I'm *not* currently watching...!)
 

Kari is off the rails. After her miserable childhood with battling parents, she thinks it will be blissful to have a child with a guy who neither likes nor loves her? She wants a kid so she'll have someone who loves her? Uh, how did that work out for her parents?

What will it take to get rid of Adrian? Every time I think he's gone, he comes right back! How can Ana seriously consider a guy who has absolutely no respect for her requests? There is NOTHING appealing about him!

Vivian is a total drag. Please come back, Pina!
 

Thank you for a great recap.

I have to admit I thought my tv had stopped during the birth scene when she kept asking questions and noone moved. I could not believe it. I think I was yelling answer, answer.

Did they say the upcoming TN will be Un refugio para el amor or Amorcito Corazon?
 

Thanks, Julia. "He’s conflicted about the wedding. Perhaps he would like to know anything about it." LOL!!

Adrian and Kari? Sure, why not. I'd been saving him for Frida, but Moni hasn't seemed happy in a very long time, so maybe breaking up with Pepe is for the best.

Vivian and Barb are friends? It's much too small a world. (Then again, this being a telenovela, it's a wonder they're not long-lost twins.) I think Viv was Pilar of the looooooong underwear/horse commercial in LFMB, so I hated her immediately.

Ana stress eating? Uh-oh.

I hope the bad news about the baby boy is "he has a very annoying laugh." That's bad enough.
 

THAT's where I remember Vivian from! That horrid underwear advert! Ugh. Not liking her any better here.

Hahaha..."Rebe, I have terrible, tragic news. Your son looks and sounds just like his father."
 

Vivian was also Natasha, Camilo's girlfriend in Manana es Para Siempre, and she's currently some sort of social worker working with orphans in LQNPA(from what I can tell in the 5 mins at the end that I see).
 

Julia, thanks for all the detail. I missed this one.

Dang, once again I miss out on Enzo's striptease.

Glad Freddy told Kari he won't marry her. But after the pregnancy scare with Elena you'd think he'd have been more careful. Kari's been a lot more crazy-needy-desperate with him than Elena ever was.
 

I was also really surprised that after Freddy's years of catting around and Elena's pregnancy claim especially, he wouldn't have been more careful. QTH, Freddy?

I'm starting to think maybe Ana should end up alone and Freddy and Ado should get together.
 

Oh, I forgot about the German in this episode. That was too funny. Maybe Pancho learned it from the headmistress at the school he was going to send Temo to when he got in trouble at his school. He shouted Rouse pretty well. lol. It is the same as largate.
 

I swear I don't know what the hell
their saying half the time, but I
get the biggest kick out of all the
characters on this show. Believe it or not, I'm gonna miss it when it's
finally over. J
 

I know what you mean, Anonymous! I can't really get into any of the love angst, but Vince, Candi, Pina and Arnold are so delightful. Everything they do is funny. And I've just discovered Adoración -- where has she been hanging out? She's a scream!
 

Hiya folks,
Apparently, the part of my brain that understands Spanish is out celebrating Cinco de Mayo tonight at some party that the rest of me was not invited to. Hopefully it'll be back tomorrow so that I can compose a coherent recap.
 

You funny.
