Amorcito Corazón Discussion #14-23 June 18-22
Part I
Either my DVR can't tell time or Looneyvision has struck again because my recording started right off with Juancho and Willy in the Pinzón living room. What happened to where we left off Friday? Isa was beating on Fernie's car window. Oh well.
- So Isa shows up and picks up Marilechuga from school. The Mother Superior gets snippy. Marilechuga tells her Isa is her friend and neighbor so *nyah*
- New character alert! Duqueque (sp?) A cute little chamaco who's mom abandoned him (?) I kind of missed most of his history. Help anyone?
- Beba's son continues to give her a hard time about Willy.
- There's an impromptu birthday costume party for Marilechuga. Lucía gets the sexy cat woman suit...meow!
- Horty forgot Marilechuga's birthday. Ha! Panic to get a great present, cake yada yada.
- Dad takes Marilu out for a dinner fit for a princess. It is so darn sweet!!!! Truly a must-see. And it's awesome when Horty interrupts to tell her to come home and get all her gifts and the girl TELLS HER NO! heh heh.
- Isa talks with Zoe about taking care of mom when she's discharged from the home.
- Álvaro tells Zoe the NEED to stay married. Some very conservative muckity mucks want him for some high paying position in the company (lord high overseer of Latin America?) Gringos are somehow involved.
- Beba wonders if Horty wants Manuela (Sofía's twin/ex-SIL of Fernie) to marry Fernie. Horty says no way.
- After the princess dinner, Marilechuga insists that they go see Isa to give her a rose from her b'day bouquet.
- Horty soliloquy-s to pics of her daughters Manuela and Sofia. They are so different despite looking so similar. Manuela apparently changed even more after her sister's death and Horty feels like she lost both of them the day Sofía died.
- Lucía thinks about Willy and vice versa.
- Fernie and Isa both have weird nightmares about marrying Doris/Poncho respectively. Marilechuga the hada waves her magic wand and Fernie and Isa end up together at the altar. Then there is a weird Fernie as Lobo, Isa as hunter thing. Meh. FF>>
- Poncho serenades Isa at her car. He's terrible, but it's funny.
- Mother Superior overhears Marisol telling Barbara about Lucia wearing the sexy cat suit.
Labels: Amorcito
Tuqueque is the "son" of Mochio (spelling?) and a mother who abandoned him. However, he really is the biological son of Ricky,Lalla's other son, who is in prison. So Willy is his uncle and dona Lalla is his grandmother, although this is a closely guarded secret in their family. Everyone else including Mochio and his mother think Tuqueque (real name Garbriel, I think) is their son and grandson. That little kid is such a cutie and good actor, as are the girls who play Marilu and Marifer. The scene with Fern and Marilu is really touching! The kid who plays Margarito on LQNPA could learn a thing or two from the child actors in AMOROCITO. Both Marilu and Marifer have very distinct characters and play them so well.
I'll be watching the second half later tonight (eek, or even tomorrow.)
Omigosh you are so right about the child actors in this one. Marilu and Marifer are fabulous! I just want to eat them up!!
Tuqueque is played by Omar Isfel, who is the son of Violeta Isfel aka Monica in UFCS. He is a cute thing. I'm curious to find out why Tuqueque's origins are secret.
Yes the kids in this are great. And Fer taking Marilu to dinner was so sweet; it made me weepy.
I think I dislike the Mother Superior as much as Hortensia. They are really witchy characters. And Hortensia trying to make Marilu leave her special evening w/Daddy. Get a grip woman. But it was great she told her Nana no.
Can we discuss what is supposed to be the mystery behind Horty's other daughter (and twin to Fer's wife)? I think she's supposed to be mentally fragile but it almost seems she has multiple personalities and was Fer's wife. I know its crazy but that's how I'm reading Horty's weirdness with this situation.
Thanks NJ Sue for the info about Tuqueque.
I thought someone said it was Willy who came up with the "Tuqueque" nickname for the little guy. And yes, you're right, NJ Sue -- we really got lucky with that young actor! Our TN niños seem to be gratingly annoying more often than not.
I think Tuqueque's assumed dad's name is spelled Moncho; it's in the credits that way. I'm still completely confused as to why they're keeping this secret from Moncho and his mother. Aren't they supposed to be friends?
Can hardly wait for Barbara's snobby lies to blow up in her face, but I don't dislike her.
Zoe should find herself a nice female lawyer...and ask around to be sure she isn't a lesbian before she hires her. Why does she even agree to go out for drinks anymore. If she wants her divorce done she should insist on just doing business in the office.
darse infulas - to give oneself airs; think a lot of oneself
empinar el codo - to throw back a few drinks
And I really liked "ni fu ni fa" -- apparently it means you are indifferent to someone.
Other happenings: Isa wins the contest! Since her resume was lost, but thank goodness she had her phone number on the envelopes with the cds, Fer doesn't know she's the one who won (or that she even entered the contest).
I loved the princess birthday dinner. So cute. I got a bit teary. The costume party was fun too. What a fab birthday for Marilu on a day that started off so sad.
Blue Lass- when they say things are going to turn the color of ants, it means things are going to turn dark/get ugly around here.
I don't know why Willy's family is keeping the secret that Tuqueque is really a part of their family from Moncho and his mom either. Just seems like the longer that goes on, the more hurtful for everyone involved it will be. At least Tuqueque basically seems them as family too.
Barbara is being a silly teenager. I don't dislike her either, but I do want this farce of being a rich girl to blow up in her face. She has already heard Marisol talk about how she doesn't care about snobby social distinctions. It's not like she's bffs with the other snobby girls at the school anyway.
Isa doesn't know it's Fer's firm she applied to, either. More hijinks.
It may be the case that Tuqueque's mother (charmingly named "Lucha," it seems) told Moncho he was the Dad, so the Pinzons aren't in a position to insist otherwise -- and with Ricky in prison, they probably feel he's better off. Willy did say that Lucha took up with Moncho right quick after Ricky.
--Tuqueue is sick.
--Doris is ORANGE!!
--Isa talks Zoe into looking for the gentleman of her one night stand.
--Mother Superior apologizes to Isa.
--Barbara fakes her address
--Marisol and Juancho near miss...AGAIN *groan*
--Isa won the contest.
Vocabulario
salir el peine: the truth comes out.
rapiña: pillage
bolsa de valores: stock market
el hospedaje: accommodation
Zoe said she'd like to meet a man who wasn't an "ave de rapiña" = "bird of prey." (Yes, I've started watching with my dictionary in my lap.)
BTW-Inspired by Julia I have started a vocab list in a Google document. If you have contributed something and you don't see it on the list, let me know. I went back and looked back at all the posts and comments to do this so I may have missed some. ('Cause starting from day one was too easy.)
Marilechuga reminded me of myself when I get a present, I immediately rip them open as fast as I can.
Tuqueque means salamander. Not sure why he would get that nickname, unless Willy gave it to him when he was just a little tyke crawling around.
Is Horty falling for Willy?
Sara, thanks again for the terrific recap and now we have a vocab list too. Squeee!!
---
At the very least her hormones are stirring.
That scene in the restaurant was funny.
What does "guacala" mean, exactly? It's so cute when the little one says it.
Can you add "ni fu ni fa" and "color de hormigas" from earlier today? Thanks!
I have noticed that the scriptwriters tend to have their particular favorite slang terms -- especially for insults -- so we'll probably be hearing some of these a lot more before we're through. (For instance, I had never heard the term "pelafustán" before Teresa, and I haven't heard it since.)
BL-I've got ni fu ni fa and color de hormigas. Sorry I missed those. Perdóname, amiga?
And I stumbled across this dictionary of mexicanismos today. I assume it is old news for you Caray-ers. I am so behind the times.
First off, I am in awe of the UFCS and Refugio recappers. Two hours is deadly.
--Tuqueque's fever got worse and he had to be rushed to the hospital. The doctor recommended various neurological tests that cost a bundle. Lucia is going to organize a ??? (special offering?) at the church to help raise funds. Willy works "extra hours" (read: schtups the boss) to earn extra cash.
--Isa won the prize. Then out of spite quit and tore up the check. Later she and Fernie make nice and she goes to work for Fernie's company.
--Sarita is being released! Leopoldo goes to visit and says he can count on her. I don't get this guy.
--Pop went the Snorty all over the place.
--Zoe was carjacked and discovered the insurance and all the credit cards were cancelled by Álvaro (did I get that right?) He kind of tries to blackmail her into keeping up the appearance of a normal marriage.
--Felipe is getting more and more involved with Zoe. He promises to be a nice professional lawyer.
I'll be back later with vocabs. :-)
vividor(a): pleasure seeker; sponger
despampanante: stunning
ser un cuero mujer: to be a stunning woman
advenedizo(a): upstart
el estrado: dais; platform
tarado(-a):stupid; moron; handicapped person
dar de alta: discharge (a person)
energúmeno: lunatic; Isa says this at least once an episode so I am repeating it again. lol
Chivo brincado, Chivo pagado: expression meaning cash payment for services/goods rendered
Hablando se entiende la gente: Communication is key
la trifulca: rumpus; commotion
la mera: the most important person (f)
el mero: the most important person
So it's hilarious when Dores says "Soy la mera mera del mero mero"
Another word that was said in these episodes: despampanante- stunning (what Zoe said Isa had to look like for the presentation)
The funniest thing was Fernando's "I am the boss" speech, though. "The first time you lift up your skirt or tell someone to go seek their destiny, you're OUTTA HERE."
(Can you tell I purchased a children's animal book in Spanish? Who knew it would come in so handy? On sale at Target.)
"despampanante", what a cool word. Thanks Vivi.
I can't believe the way Horty tries to interfere in Fernando's business. I mean, I can; she's Horty, but still. Willy G needs to work her out harder; why can she still walk?
Speaking of Willy G...oh em gee he is a prostitute. Wouldn't it be better to sell the Willymóvil to get the money?
But then of course we wouldn't get to see his goofy boss-lady dressed up in all her fantasy outfits...
I'll add suricata and the moros phrases now.
I kept meaning to ask about suricata, but I always forgot.
I like this show more every day.
Blue Lass-you once mentioned maybe, possibly, kind of doing a recap every now and again. Feel free to let me know if you want to. You've got wicked-good listening comprehension. (But please don't take this as pressure.)
Some things I forgot to mention from yesterday's show:
--The three amigos/caballeros have a solemn vow not to mess with each other's woman (I suspect this will figure into the Felipe/Cecilio/Zoe dynamic
--Cecilio's mother is afraid of everything (water, bugs, wind...) Maybe not important, but funny.
Today's Stuff
(Organized by Character)
--Macaria has been a widow for 14 years and some odd months and days.
--Macaria was the one who discovered Sofía's lifeless body at the bottom of the stairs.
--The mystery surrounding Manuela deepens.
--Tuqueque is given a somewhat clean bill of health, but the doctor still wants to do weekly tests. Doc is worried about the child's kidneys (set up for a transplant, methinks.)
--Willy makes a large donation to the collection to impress Lucia. I liked that the writers actually address the "why did he have to be so public about it." Willy and Juancho had a conversation about it and Willy admitted it was just to win points with Carita de Angel.
--Upon hearing Tuqueue's health report Willy gives Lucía a big hug. It leaves her confused about her feeling. Willy then can't stop thinking about Lucía. Willy admits to Juancho that he is in love with Lucía (I think, can't remember exactly.)
--Willy had some comic scenes with Beba and Snorty competing for his attentions.
--Willy's friends returned his car.
--Juancho's mother was in an accident in Acapulco. Juancho has to go back home. Another really near miss with Marisol (he was at her freaking door!! GAH!)
--Sarita is settling at Isa's wondering how she can be useful when Zoe comes in and kind of melts down. Zoe also has a migraine. Sarita calms her down and gets her to sleep. While Zoe sleeps, Sarita goes to the pharmacy. Since it's been a while since Sarita has gone out anywhere, she has a panic attack in the street and Fernando (returning home) is very kind and gentle and helps her.
--Sarita makes a cake for Fernando and meets his daughters.
--Zoe decides to go back to Álvaro. They plan to have dinner with the Norteamericanos.
--Felipe gets three sheets to the wind because Zoe has rejected him. He shows up to Zoe's dinner with Álvaro and the gringos (Don and Doña Quixote lol) and blabs that Zoe is getting divorced. Zoe tries to act otherwise.
--Fernando's run in with Sarita makes him see Isa in a different light (she also has her cross to bear.) He is nicer to her at work and invites her to lunch.
--Fernando and Isa have a very pleasant lunch (compared to the horrid meal she shared with Poncho...who has no table manners.) Well, it was pleasant until Pop went the Snorty!
--Several scenes hint that Fernie is falling for Isa.
--Fernando gives Isa the computer stuff she needs and puts Poncho in charge of making sure she has everything she needs so that her Big Presentation is perfect.
--Poncho's assignment is not good. Earlier, he and Doris had decided that the best thing would be for Isa and Fernie not to work together. They cook up a plan to get her fired. Poncho deletes Isa's Big Presentation.
Random Observation
Suzy is really short.
Horty and Beba dancing and getting drunk was also a treat.
Sara, I'd be happy to help out, although I'm not sure when would be the best time -- let me think about it. (And I do NOT have wicked good listening comprehension -- that's what captions are for!)
Kind of off topic trivia, the person that wrote the song, Sam the Sham (with the Pharoahs) is of Mexican American descent. His real name is Domingo Samudio. Even though his parents spoke Spanish I don't think he recorded the Spanish version we heard in this episode. I think it was recorded by Los Rockin Devil's.
OK, back to watching today's episode. Sara, thank you for the recap. It's very helpful!
Horty and Beba's dance was a high point of the episode. Horty has kind moments but her desire to control everything jacks her up. And she makes poor Fer's life miserable.
Blue Lass - yes I too think Manuela may have "pushed" her sister down the stairs of death. It would explain why Horty freaks out and acts crazy every time Manuela calls.
Poncho deleting Isa's project is so bad not just b/c its a plot device but it should end any relationship they have. I would so harm that jerk who thinks he's doing this in the name in love.
Now, about Wily and Lucia I conjecture that she ends up leaving the order to be with Willy. I base this on her being in civvies at the end of the opening credits. But what do I know! lol
Sylvia-Cool! Music history, too! Thanks for the info! That was a really cute scene.
Blue Lass-IRT Sofia's death: I had the same thought! Creepy. (And just let me know if you want to help out. I'm trying to plan ahead a little. Once school starts I may have to develop a different plan.)
Karen-You are so right about Poncho. What was he thinking?
More observations:
My husband is a fan of Willy. He loved the tututuqueque today (When Willy was asking about the boy.) He laughs every time Willy is on screen...and hubs doesn't understand a bit of Spanish. Snorty and Beba competing for him is a hoot and a half.
I have never seen Liz Vega in anything and I am quickly becoming a fan. She's great!
Thanks everyone for watching and playing along with me. I hate that this one is not prime time.
This was a fun episode, very peppy and full of action. Judging by the avances, it looks like Doris and Poncho's dirty scheme backfired.
I think you guys might be right about Sofia's death. Horty always gets extremely upset whenever Manuela calls.
Sara, thanks amiga for doing recaps every day. Two hours, gah!!
----
Really? Well, then...she's a natural at comedy!
vejiga: bladder (said by a lawyer during a commercial)
vedette: cabaret star (which I learned when I googled Liz Vega.
I hope no one minds...
I saw the first ad for Por Ella, Soy Eva yesterday, so there will be *some* kind of a schedule shakeup soon. Let's hope that relieves some poor equipo from 2-hour recaps.
Sylvia, thanks for the b/g on Sam the Sham. I loved that song when I was a kid!
--Por Ella Soy Eva will replace LQNPA
--they will do is give Eva the 7PM slot
--They will keep Refugio at two hours
--back up Abismo to the 10EST slot.
Ideally (meaning, "to my liking") they will:
--Put Amorcito on at 7EST
--Eva at 8EST
--Keep Abismo at 9EST
--Put Refugio at 10EST.
I burst out laughing just typing it! So funny!
I loved the Wooly Bully dancing. Those women are a hoot. Really Hortensia is not bad at all except when it comes to Fernando and his potential love life. I had exactly the same thought about Sofia's death. Almost for sure, Manuela did it. What a horrible thing for a mother to deal with.
Poncho is the worst. Trying to ruin Isa's career is not love. He doesn't know the meaning of love. And his table manners are nauseating. Maybe he won't really leave the files deleted, he'll be the computer hero and pretend he is very cleverly recovering them to make Isa grateful. At least Isa showed Fernando her work already, so even if the files are gone he won't think she didn't do the work.
patas arribas: in a mess
retumbar: to boom; resound; echo; thunder;
primoroso(-a): exquisite; delicate; beautifully dressed
la aportación: contribuiton;investment
la torpeza: clumsiness;awkwardnes; stupidity gaffe; blunder
dar la cara: to take responsibility for something
agobiar: to weigh down; to oppress; to overwhelm (mad at myself for not getting this considering I added "agobiado" earlier this week.)
riñones: kidneys
hígado:liver (Inspired by Blue Lass)
Since Blue Lass mentioned Isa's calling of Snorty "higadito", I did a little research:
ser un hígado to be a pain in the neck.
el puchero: pot; stew pot
but also...
el puchero: pout
hacer pucheros: to pout
I didn't take notes about what was actually said and I can't remember the context now lol.
Blue Lass: "especially since no one else has had it." Indeed!
pleasejustanhourpleasejustanhour...
One funny: Willy's comment that getting locked in the church overnight was to make up for not coming to mass all those times.
----
Agree. And for whatever reason, they want to keep the Álvaro actor around.
Still watching Thursday's episode. I've gotten up to the kiss. Gotta say, I'm not impressed with Diego Olivera's technique. That better improve.
Ha ha, Poncho! Your plan backfired.
And poor Lucia...thinking she's going to take her vows and being told "Nope. Not yet."
Still, though, an enjoyable episode. I suspect Poncho and Doris will end up together. They are equally tacky and rude. Poor Isa, she had to share two meals in a row with tablemates with revolting manners! She's going to get really skinny if Poncho and Doris keep invading her chowtimes like that.
I noticed that Fernando kept piling more and more lechuga on his plate at dinner :).
Medical Stuff
--Juancho's mom has a rather severe head injury
--Tuqueque has a congenital kidney issue. (insuficiencia de riñones crónica) Translplant/DNA alert.
Big Stuff (I think)
--Fernie and Isa kiss. IMHO he needs some work, but she likes it. I'm still trying to figure out what possessed him to do it. Did you all find it odd?
--Fernie chokes on his nuts....er nueces de la India (cashews that Doris brought.) While attempting the Heimlich, Isa calls him "mi amor", much to the chagrin of Doris (this was a public event.)
--Isa is no dummy. She's pretty sure Poncho and Doris had something to do with the computer mess. Fernie believes her and is going to investigate. Poncho needs to get the security video.
--Lucia is told she won't be taking her vows. She cries. Willy tries telling her maybe she's meant for marriage and kids. She asks him never to bring it up again. All she wants is to be a nun.
Miscellany
--Poncho is an asshat.
--Barbara is street-wise and it almost blew her fresita cover.
--Doris mistakes Beba for Snorty's mom.
--Moncho sells vacuum cleaners
--Zoe and Suzy get along
--I heart Suzy
--Snorty wants to take the girls to Italy to visit Manuela
I'll be watching Friday's episode later tonight and will return with vocabs.
I seriously gush when I watch this show.
---
Yes!! We think alike! I noticed and thought the same!
---
Diego Olivera can lovestruck look at me all her wants. *sigh* Kissing not necessary...at least for a while.
Drat, I'm two days behind! I'll try to catch up this weekend I guess.
I think we met Barbara's love interest when she nearly blew her fresa cover by telling that fresa boy off. I wish she would stop pretending already, as she seems to have made friends with the girls at the school who do care about that stuff.
I think Fern gets turned on when Isa speaks about things she cares about with passion. She was in the midst of defending her work ethic and such when he went for the kiss.
--Cecilio got an idea about personal ads toward the end of Thursday's episode.
Blue Lass: Again with thinking alike! I wrote a note to myself while watching this morning. It read "Suzy Mad Men." Her costuming and hairstyle if very reminiscent of the 60's.
Julia: Practice *does* make perfect. We can flip a coin to see who gets to practice with him.
Sylvia: I'm behind too, but I encourage you to catch up. This show is just darlingprecious (made up word.)
Vivi: I kind of like Cecilio, too. I know he may need to cut the apron strings, but I'm rooting for the Cecilio/Zoe pairing as well. I can't figure out the mom thing though: Comedy or actual plot device? Both?
(BTW, Willy said it yesterday, if anyone has "character says name of show" on their Bingo card.)
----
Thank you!! Ever since he's said it I've been thinking "ok, character saying the name of show is important, but....why????" Obviously, the bingo info has now lodged itself in my subconscious. And I still haven't played!!
Can someone clear up things for me - what is the arrangement that Zoe has with her husband? They are pretending to be together for his American bosses but for how long? Until he gets this promotion?
Though Poncho has to stay around for plot reasons, if I were Fer he'd be in jail for infecting all the computers in the company.
I feel badly for Willy's family. Between his nephew and cousin, we are either with doctors or in the hospital all the time.
Not that opening credits mean anything - the boys in Absimo arm wrestling or Aaron Diaz shirtless on horseback in El Tal - but I think Manuela is in love w/Fer and this could be why she may have pushed her sister down the stairs.
It looks like another fake pregnancy but since our galan is brighter than most it looks like he's onto Doris. He needs to be more firm with her and ideally have her attempt to spend some time with his girls. They will politely make her have a really bad day.
Friday did not bring us tons o' action. The most important stuff being:
--Isa and Fer finally admitting they are falling for each other.
--despite thinking he spent the night with Doris, Isa finally believes that there is nothing between Doris and Fernie
--There's a bit where it is rumored that Willy is the father of a lady's child. Lucia is quite upset and confronts him. Beba overhears and thinks it's LUCIA who is preggers. Beba blabs to Snorty. Not good.
--Willy does prove his innocence to Lucia and tells her his father abandoned their family and he would never do something like that. Lucia has offended Willy.
--Dude with a motorcycle that Marisol conked with a soccer ball is named Mauricio Rossi(?) I think I need someone to fill in some blanks for me here. Sorry.
--Did Marisol ask Barbara if she was in love with JUANCHO??? Again I need help from folks with better comprehension (or real CCs).
--Juancho's mother passed away (que en paz descanse.)
--Poncho is fired for the sabotage of Isa's computer. For revenge he unleashes a computer virus. Since apparently no on else can fix it, he will get his job back it seems.
--Doris is going to fake a pregnancy. Did I hear right, she's going to buy a baby too?
Karen: I am right on board with you. 10 hours is a lot, but the show is so stinking cute and I pretty much love watching every single character. I am interested in every single story line. That rarely happens to me. Which also means there is really nothing I FF>> through lol.
And I think you are very right about Manuela. In fact, during the opening credits I swear Fernie is kissing her???
--Zoe gets her check from Álvaro
--Cecilo's ad sort of backfires. I bunch of crazies call him.
And things that I laughed at
--Willy's Tututuquequeque bird call is darling. I love it when he does it.
--Zoe telling Álvaro "show me your appreciation with the zeros you put on the check" (loosely translated)
Vocabs
gruñuón(-ona grouchy
me da flojera: I can't be bothered
cacatúa lit cockatoo; fig. old bag
cascarita: when Mauricio (motodude) calls Marisol "cascarita" it is in reference to her playing soccer when they met. It can mean "pick up game"
Information about Damas de Rojo
I thought the Willy-getting-the-nun-pregnant schtick was predictable but still hilarious. Beba always makes me laugh; Mariana Karr is having fun with the role. Bibelot Mansur plays Jasmine! I loved her as Rossy in Querida Enemiga.
I also thought that Marisol accused Barbara of having feelings for her cousin, but I was watching on my droid, no CCs so who knows?
I think Poncho and Doris found a pregnant woman just so Doris and get a positive pregnancy test.
Oh and Friday's episodes were 22 and 23. It's hard to keep track with these double episodes, sheesh!
Isabel looked friggin' fantastic in that orange sweater. What a figure!
Viviiii!!!!! Oh Viviii!!!! Julia??? Art thou reading??
I call upon y'all's power of español... :-)
I didn't get what the deal was about Mauricio Rossi except that the other girl thought he was all that. I don't think Marisol ever let her explain.
I cannot BELIEVE our previously smart galán would let Poncho back into the company. Really, we're supposed to believe there are no computer repair people in Mexico City other than one clueless incompetent and the guy who already sabotaged them? Beanie time. Where's the Nerd Herd when we need it? I know Chuck is willing to travel.
I don't think Doris is planning to buy a baby (at least for now), I think she just was paying a woman for her urine to get a positive pregnancy test. It was funny and creepy the way Poncho was approaching every pregnant (and not pregnant, but offended) woman he saw. They couldn't have expected to get a woman who would actually give up her baby that way, but a woman who could just use some extra cash? More feasible. They're pretending Doris is two months along, I think. She rejected the idea of fake tummies, so maybe she plans to get Fernando to marry her and then suffer a tragic "miscarriage".
"By the way, I think Barbara and Juancho are second cousins, not first. Barb and Willy G's mother referred to Juancho's mother as her cousin. So, technically there would be no legal or genetic reason Barb and Juancho couldn't get together, it's just too close and still ick for some of us."
Ok. I guess they are technically ok. But count me as someone who kind of feels squicky about it.
With 225 episodes, I suspect we will need multiple beanie adjustments and ridiculous situations...
I love this novela, but 2 hours a day is hard to take. I end up "coasting" through it, half-listening, trying to pay attention when something interesting comes on, but still missing a lot. I guess that's better than not watching at all.
Diego Olivera is adorable. And so tall! Sigh.
What is the deal with Univision and their obsession with two hour episodes? UFCS, Refugio, Amorcito...and they did it for a while with Triunfo, too.
I mean, look at me. They switched to two hours and I didn't give up Amorcito.
Darn Televisa and their shows you can't quit!! :-)
Sigh. They are very impressive stairs.
----
oooo. Conundrum. I wonder if Julia will weigh in. While these actions did indeed happen "before" the TN, the fall down the stairs (or possible escaleracide) was actually shown.
Being the competitive and non-noble type I would *totally* mark off "fall down stairs."
PS: Would you consider what Álvaro did to Zoe "blackmail"? (that is, cutting off the insurance/credit cards.)
Maybe I'll start playing. What numbers are you all playing? I'll randomly pick a different one.
Srlsly. Diego is dreamy...
As for the coma. It seems to me a coma is a coma. It was shown onscreen wasn't it?
I'm asking since "coma" is on my card, too.
I've got "Galan is intimate with someone other than Protagonista" on my card too. Though it doesn't seem likely right now...we still have 183 episodes.
Gratuitous shirtlessness (Alvaro)
Fainting (Beba)
Protagonista talks out loud to self (Isabel)
Faked pregnancy (Doris -- shown in previews, so I'm sure it's coming)
Coma (Juancho's Mom)
Fall down stairs (Sofía)
"¿Qué haces aquí?" (can't remember the specifics, but it's definitely happened)
Character says title of show (Willy)
Maybe Manuela will come back and then leave again, and I can get "character travels out of country."
I have "need for blood donor" on mine. Will it count when Tuqueque needs his kidney donor...'cause I know he will need one. There has been too much set up for it.
What I mean is are there two different squares: "need for blood donor" AND "need for organ donor"?
(I haven't seen all the cards.)
Did Juancho and Marisol kiss on the beach? I know they met on the beach...
----
LMAO and spewing coffee.
