Refugio Para el Amor #82 Tue 7/31/12 The Calm Before The Storm
We're in the eye of the storm
tonight....that deceptive heavy lull between two terrible cyclones.
We've navigated our way through the tumultuous drama of Paz'
revelations to both Lucinda and Licenciado Linares, and we're
anxiously awaiting his confrontation with Rosalena. Which promises to
be cataclysmic! But in the meantime, life seems to go on as usual at
the troubled Torreslanda mansion. With a few new medical
developments....
Per CarayCaray instructions, I'll try
and keep the recap short and limit the front page appearance to a few
paragraphs. The rest will appear on “Read More” along with
vocabulary and dicho. I've consolidated scenes for brevity and
continuity. Here are the main developments of the night.
- Rosalena and Connie trot off to the neurologist. Rosalena for a “resonancia magnetica” (MRI) to see if there's a medical reason for her manic behavior one minute, her deep depression the next, and overall, her lack of connection with “reality”. Her cardiologist, blabbing to Connie in the waiting room, says for sure Rosa “tiene algo”. That's why he recommended more studies.
- Max enlists Oscar's help for a coverup of Rosa's misdeeds: to wit, that she gave away a newborn almost 20 years ago, and they can't let the news get out. Otherwise her reputation, the family's reputation and the firm's reputation will suffer (oh the loss in market value! oh the ire of the shareholders! oh the financial losses!) Oscar pledges his unconditional support but Oscar doesn't tell him who the real father is or let him talk to Rosalena to get more details.
- The boys are happily selling tacos de canasta, flirting with the various maids and servant girls who buy their wares. Lorenzo catches the eye of a comely lass toting a small dog named “Perdon mi Amor”, a squabble make-up gift that no longer appeals to its recipient. She tells Lorenzo to ''cambiarse con el cambio” (keep the change) and his buddy teases him about the new conquest. They also learn that dog-walking pays well. (expansion of street business for our boys?)
- Rosalena continues barring Boris from the house, in spite of his gigantic Disculpame Bouquet.No one else in the family thinks it was that bad. (but I have to tell you, if that had happened in my house when I was a teenager, MY mother would have thrown a similar fit.)
- Rod continues storming around like an idiot. Tears up his bed where he bagged Gala (or she bagged him, depending on your point of view); marches out of the office when Frick and Frack, his two office buddies tease him about Gala; slinks out of the therapy pool after hearing that Pato is highly motivated to get better so he can go see Luciana again; and sulks when Pato, at home, admonishes him for getting back into Gala's clutches. His final surly pout of the evening is when Melissa, at the family lunch, snipes that if his mom is getting checked for neurological problems, maybe HE should get his heart checked. Zinger!!!!
- Gala, after boasting of her re-conquest of Rod (see vocabulario) continues with her plan to hang out in Columbia for a few days, playing hard to get (as if!) and whetting Rodrigo's appetite. Her office assistent seems to be curling her lip the whole time she's noting down travel information.
- Padre Honesto, in true sacerdote form, gently refuses Maximeanie's request for more information on Rosalena's actions, since he must keep the Secret of the Confessional.
- Luci appears dazed and confused over the news that Licenciado Linares is actually her biological father. She sweetly refuses all offers of help, financial or otherwise : no, doesn't want him to rent her an apartment in Mexico City, doesn't even want his help arranging furniture in Paz' house, and affirms that the best thing for her is to stay in “mi tierra con mi gente”, and paint pottery like she's always done. She also faints at least once, reminding us that she's probably pregnant.
- Papa Linares (whom she still calls “licenciado”) wisely agrees to give her time and not pressure her.
- Max is still a sadistic meanie, bullying both Vicky and Aldo alike. Probably making up for the frustration he feels trying to have a real conversation with his Alternate Reality Wife Rosalena.Vicky's job continues to be in jepoardy as her boss opines that if their clients find out she's sleeping with a client's husband, they might fear for their own marriages.
- The Pueblo Gossips spread the news that Luciana is back with some spiffy gent who seems to be squiring Magda around. Procopio (Copito...cute nickname) rolls his eyes and say uh huh, uh huh, uh huh dubiously. Don Aquiles is happy that his palomita has returned but laughs at the thought that Magda might have a galan. Luchita, meanwhile, worries that Aquiles is lost to her forever. “Ay yi yi, ya' never had 'em in the first place! “sneer the metiches.
So life goes on in our charming pueblo
del norte. Same gossip, same unquenched desires and longings, but
with one important difference: a weary Paz has now relinquished the
heavy secret she bore for years, and Luciana is reeling from the
knowledge that not Paz and Galdino, but rather Aurora and el
licenciado Linares are her biological parents. We hold our breath,
waiting to see if this new knowledge will heal or destroy the lives
of the characters we've come to love.
Vocabulario:
-casi me deslumbra = almost blinds me
(Linares talking about the dazzling blue sky in the pueblo)
-campechana = in Mexico, a campechana
is a flat sweet bread, flaky like puff pastry and coated with
shiny-brown melted sugar (Magda serves this to Linares for breakfast
and Luciana notes that it was her opa Galdino's favorite pastry.)
-un catrin = a well-dressed dude (the
two metiches' description of Linares)
-presumido = conceited, vain, arrogant
(a perfect description of blustery Don Aquiles!)
-le dio un probadita = I gave him a
little taste (Gala boasting about her carnal congress with Rod)
-que comoda = how convenient! (Pato,
sneering at Rod's assertion that he and Gala have no commitment even
after the sex romp)
-accionistas = shareholders,
stockholders
-con las manos atadas = with my hands
tied (Oscar lamenting that he needs more information about Rosa's
misdeeds)
-quedese con el cambio = keep the
change
-tomar cartas en el asunto = to
intervene
-mis labios están sellados = my lips
are sealed
-no seas sonso (also written zonso) =
don't be an idiot (Aquiles dismissing gossip)
Dicho of the Day
A lo hecho, pecho = You have to face
the music (pretty much applies to all the characters. For some the
music is lovely, ex. Linares really has a living daughter. For some
the music is dreadful, ex. Rosa and Max' secrets are going to come to
light somehow.)

Yay Judy! Record speed, short and sweet (and sassy), and a wonderful finish with a ton of vocab and a dicho. Gracias amiga.
This was indeed a set up episode, or as you say, the calm before the storm. I was impressed that Max actually spent much of the episode trying to figure out how to cover Rosa's misdeeds and protect her legally.
I'm surprised that they may actually give us a medical reason for some of Rosa's problems (even if she turns out to be bi-polar or something, I still think she's also just a bitch). Villains are never given a real medical reason for for their crazy behavior. I wonder if the truth comes out about Luci, of Oscar and Max will use the medical/mental health excuse to get Rosa off? I wonder how Oscar doesn't have an ulcer with all the Torreslanda fires he's being asked to control.
Nice try Boris, but no dice. Judy, I hope that your mother would not have been so scary as Rosa. Lorenzo did wonder what his guerita (little blondie) was up to after flirting with the maid with the dog.
I hope Luci lets herself become closer to Claudio and accepts his fatherly help soon. She's really holding herself back. I wonder if she feels like she's being disloyal to Galdino?

Thank you so much JudyB for this wonderful, terrific recap. I agree with all of Vivi's comments too. I can't beleive Oscar hasn't figured out who Max is talking about,already. Wait until he realizes just who exactly Max is talking about. I can't wait for that.
I hope they don't go down the mental excuse road for all of Rosa's misdeeds, but it would be a first. Have they ever done that in a TN before? I agree Vivi she is a beyotch. She must have been this way for years though, cause this all started when Aurora became pregnant and gave birth. Maybe the birth was the catalyst for Rosa to totally start losing it.
I too hope that Luci lets herself get closer to Claudio. I think with some time she will. It will take her awhile to process everything that has happened to her. I would love for her and Claudio to confront that beyotch face to face. It is way past time for that already. But then again, revenge is a dish best served cold.
I didn't say it yesterday, but yay Paz!!! She may be fainting, and gasping and crying and annoying but kudos to her for being the one to tell the truth and stick to her guns. She is one strong woman when it really counts.
Loved Magda walking around with Claudio and the Chisme Ladies seeing it, lol. And Copio, who knew?? Such a stand up guy and he seems to have gotten over the slimyness from Don A. I loved his umh, and his head nodding too funny. Poor Dona Luchita, or should I say, lucky Dona Luchita? She so deserves way better than Don A.
Dead to Me is still Dead to Me. What an absolute idiot. He never realizes the results of his actions. He will never escape Gagme's clutches without a hell of a fight. So glad Pato let him have it. I want to see Dead to Me with Luci at the end, but I want Dead to Me to have some serious competiton for Luci. He needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Not only is ROD DEAD TO ME, DEAD TO ME, But he is also dead in the brain department.
Rosa is just loca. She is another one that doesn't listen to explanations, just like her son. For goodness sake nothing happened between Boris and Hanna, and I knew the flowers would do no good. Why does Frigid need to comment about the family behavior? She needs to shut it already and I really can't wait for the day she gets caught chismeing with Gala and Julie. I hope Rosa throws her out on the street like she did to Luci. Can't wait for tomorrow when Claudio informs Rosa he knows what she did, and when she did it.

I thought Luciana's hesitancy with Linares was very realistic. Much as I would have wanted her to jump into his arms and warble "Papa!", it makes a lot more sense that she would retreat into herself, needing time to consolidate this astounding revelation.
We've known it for some time. But this character, who is still reeling from her whirlwind romance and divorce, is now having to completely change her vision of the world and her place in it.
As to your question, Vivi...my mom could be really scary. She wouldn't have been as cool as Rosalena. She would have ripped that Boris a new one! And me as well. She was an affectionate mom when all was going well. But if you messed up, head for the hills!
As for Roselena's mental state, I think the weight of her evil deeds has contributed to an imbalance. But if that imbalance preceded giving the baby away, or resulted from it, I have no idea. Nor am I sure what the writers intend. It'll be interesting.

Thanks for your recap, vocab,and dicho Judy. Your title perfectly captured the episode and possibly Luci emotional state. I don't think she'll snap but as you noted she does have a lot to process.
Explaining crazy with medical reasons - its an interesting tactic but I'm those of you who feel that Rosa has been a witch for a while. "Giving" away Luci may have made her turn an important corner but I think she made that decision as a sane person and trying to cover it up may have made her crazy.
I loved Oscar's reaction. He got more stressed the more Max told him. He'll be very shocked to realize the baby is Luci and horrified to learn that Claudio is the father.
Based on the preview, I want to see Claudio become a lion and attack Don A. You know he knows that man is up to no good and is messing w/his hija.

Thanks, Judy for a great recap. I am just beside myself with excitement that these last 2 episodes feel like they have really been moving--I was getting so frustrated for a while there. I'm sorry Rod is such an idiot--but these realizations Luci is experiencing are fabulous. And I just can't get over the acting. Best I've seen in a tn or a Soap.
Can't wait for tomorrow! Does anyone else wonder if Paz and Claudio will become more than friends?

Add me to the list of oh please not a mental excuse for La Loca's bitch behavior.She is a petty jealous woman who has a vision of a perfect world with her as the centerpiece. How she can even in her own mind think it was okay to break a promise to a dying woman, throw away a baby like trash and think life would always be perfect deserves just what is coming down the pike.
Sp dumbs tosses around the bedding in his place after the skank slid out, he should just burn it or better yet move out and let the building supe fumigate the place.
Poor Oscar is destined to have many more WTH moments as the true story of Rosa's misdeeds come out and unfortunately he will be another person to be disillusioned when he finds out that Conny knew. The fall out from La Loca's paranoia continues to spread.
It's understandable to me that Luci is reluctant to even think about going back to the DF with her newfound father. The poor thing has had one hell of a couple of months, a marriage, an vile attack by a coven of witches, a divorce, a revelation that her whole life is lie. But I hope she stops hiding away and wishing none of it had happened.
I'm sick of the Het Het gossips but on the other hand since they got the word back to Don Asshat that his palomita is back in town and sans hubby maybe they are going to be the driving force that sends Luci back to the DF. I really hated him snickering about the idea that Magda has a galan. PIG. Can't wait to see what happens when he has to deal with Claudio. With any luck Paz or Magda will tell him what the creep did which sent Luci the DF in the first place.
Gala is over confident in her charms in the sack but I will give her a point for having the brains to actually go to Colombia in case Rod (I know he'll call me) actually thinks to check out her story. He's actually too dumb but she is covering her bases.
Poor Max now he is the boy trying to plug the dyke after Rosa's craziness. He really should consider having her committed to the TN manicomio.

I thought it was nice of Lorenzo to take the time to sincerely thank Estelita for watching out for him and Fabian and helping them out. It was unprompted, which is the best kind of thanks and shows that Lorenzo was raised well.
Wow. I love the strong reactions this telenovela is getting. And it was a surprise for me. I didn't expect to watch it (and didn't at the beginning) but it has turned into a really compelling story with some amazing acting.
@Karen...I too would love to see Linares, Papa Linares, put Don Aquiles in his place. He's already done so legally, by getting Paz' house back, but now he needs to get him to back off permanently from Luciana. Let the face-off begin! Paz and Linares, dunno? There's always the Melissa factor also. Hmmmm
@Anna...I'm with you that the acting has been truly amazing in this one. Paz, Linares, Roselena have all been riveting. I have seen the actor who plays Linares in a lot of minor roles. But he's doing a great job now in a bigger number. And the woman playing Paz has been incredible in the last few episodes. And becoming more beautiful in the process.

@Decie Girl....good observation about the HetHet gossips. As annoying as they are, they do tie many of the pueblo scenes together and certainly are effective as the town newspaper (which I imagine does not exist). I rather enjoyed the scene with Procopio and his sceptical um hum's last night as well as the annoyed reaction of lovelorn Doña Luchita to Palomita's return. As for the rest of your observations, love your passionate response! ...if you'd been a lawyer like your father you would have been a powerful force in a courtroom.
Perfect Judy, just perfect. And nifty vocabulary words to boot.
Just the fact that the folks at the Het Het are getting along, though things are weird still and that is realistic, is so nice to see. No wailing and gnashing of teeth going on for days. So refreshing. And of course, little Cupid shows up as things get awkward and gets everyone smiling and talking again.
Normally I can take a good abs viewing scene, but Rod acting like a tweeb while that is happening is sooo NOT appealling. They could cut the moping scenes too and I'd be okay with that.
I was surprised at the move to try and make Rosa's antics part of a bigger neurlogical problem. I do wonder about all those meds that sit at her bedside already (what are those--did I miss something)? But a diagnosis of manic depressive, bi-polar, paranoia something along those lines would explain the highs and lows and refusal to accept reality. Would be stunned if she goes the murderous route and the mental illness would be used to explain that...that is really a game changer in plots.
If Gala disappears for a few days, she is taking her mother with her? Please. Get that woman off my screen for a few days!

Good morning Daisynjay...I assume those meds at Roselena's bedside are strong analgesics for the headaches, sleeping pills, and maybe anti-depressants. It's never been stated explicitly but the lady is dosing herself with a lot more than just té de tila.
I'm with you on Gala and Julie...they're both like chalk screeching on a blackboard for me. But I doubt if they're going to disappear. Alas, the villains never do!

I dearly hope Don A tries something in tonight's episode because Claudio will give him what he deserves.
Was that Popeye the maid was holding? I hate the idea that she doesn't love such an adorable pooch; little dogs are so endearing. Perhaps one of the guys will take him off her hands. However, if Boris takes him to give to Jana that would be a death sentence for the dog because of Rosalena.

Judy, the play was perfection. You set the scene "deceptive heavy lull between two terrible cyclones", staged the set "tumultuous drama" and provided the audience with a dazzling array of vocabulary and dicho.
"Desculpame bouquet", "alternate reality wife", "a squabble make-up gift that no longer appeals to its recipient" and "Same gossip, same unquenched desires and longings" were a few of my favorites. However, I love that you also incorporate fabulous English words as well: "cataclysmic" and "tumultuous". Most excellent!
Vivi, I tend to agree with you (as I laugh) regarding Rosa: "(even if she turns out to be bi-polar or something, I still think she's also just a bitch)."
Perhaps I'm alone, but I thought Boris' flowers were a nice gesture. Is there ever a situation with Rosa where it's not a lose/lose deal?
Madelaine, I also think Copio is cute as a button. Love that he has grown and is certainly happier now that he has escaped being under Don A's thumb.
Rod's becoming the poster boy for bad behavior and poor decisions. When he pretended to be asleep while Gala was gloating, I thought what a coward! He certainly had no issue in ripping Luci's heart out for transgressions she didn't commit, but he is too guilty and afraid to tell Gala he made a mistake and that they have no future! His atonement list is growing longer daily.
Luci and Claudio's relationship began with friendship and will develop into a loving father/daughter one in due time. I cannot wait to see how he handles Don A. There was a glean in Claudio's eye as Don burst in, blustering and yammering!
Thanks again Judy. This was amazing.

@Madeleine...Sorry, missed your comment on the page earlier. But it's great to have you back with your passionate involvement and reaction to everything (and everyone) in this story. I agree that Luciana will grow closer to Linares but I doubt she would take part in a showdown with Roselena...she seems much more the type to just move on with her life and leave the negative folks behind. Did love your "Revenge is a dish best served cold" since there is a similar saying in Spanish. Hope your husband is continuing to improve...and appreciating all your good care.
Thanks for those kind words Diana. You make us all feel so appreciated.
Rod IS the poster boy for bad behavior and poor decisions, as you noted.
Still, I felt his reaction was quite realistic. Women want to talk things out and get things clear. Guys just want to get the he** out if they've changed their mind after a roll in the hay.
Our Rod is definitely "from Mars". Emotionally, he's functioning on a pretty primitive level. Right now he's still a cave man, as some of our commenters have noted. Presumeably our gentle (but also tough!)Luciana will civilize him to some extent...in time!

@Urban Anthropologist...Well, we know the dog's owner doesn't love the little pooch. But I wasn't sure about the maid's reaction. Clearly, taking him out was part of her job. At least she was holding him tenderly, rather than dragging him along on a leash.
And if it's Popeye, well, glad the little guy is still working on a regular basis. Ordinarily, dogs in Mexico do not have a good life. I'm supposing that Popeye lives pretty well.

Oh and Diana...I thought the bouquet was a lovely gesture on Boris' part. And that was a whopping big bouquet...must have cost an enormous amount of money. (guess we have to assume Boris' dad carried the freight on that one).
The bouquet was lovely, Frigida and Roselena's responses were ugly and cold. Right in line with their characters.

Oh and Vivi...I agree that Lorenzo's unprompted thanks to Estelita about her help with the tacos and the rent! was quite in line with the good upbringing he's had from Galdino and Paz. Although Roselena is the one always talking about "educación" and "clase", it's Paz' children who are showing it on a consistent basis, not Roselena's.
before i forget:
Anita, you might need these words for your recap tonight:
relamido (slimey/drooler)
villa-polainas (villa-horse reigns?)
judy, awesome recap! my fav line:
Rod continues storming around like an idiot. Tears up his bed where he bagged Gala (or she bagged him, depending on your point of view);
Such a clever way to summarize how Rod etched a sign of 'LOSER' on his forehead tonight, and he can't see it even when Patricio points at it for him...

Judy B. a slam dunk! and vocab always appreciated!
Anna, yes there has been some speculation about a Claudio/Paz pairing.
DimRod is really becoming cartoonish with his pouty faces and acting out. Worse it gets, harder to see him back with Luci.
Rosa, she did have those killer headaches early on. Maybe there is some neurological explanation? except that she was loca back as long as 20 years. Slow-growing tumor? or just mean.
Luci, understand her hesitancy. Paz really hit her over the head with it when she'd just woken up, first morning back in her tierra after fracaso with Rod.
Luci's generous spirit will be shining through soon.
Julie, that gal really enjoys her "champan."

ITA that Lorenzo and Luciana re showing they have more 'class' than Rosa ever dreamed for her family...
and totally agree that Luciana is showing her 'sudden feeling of lost'. suddenly her world has been re-written/re-ordered... and she does not want to let go of the world she knew up until now (her ah-Pa and her ah-Ma)... it certainly is unsettling to say the least, beside now seeing a total stranger and having to think of him as her actual father... she needs some time, but she is so strong spiritually and emotionally after the big blow she just had to handle from Rod, that she will come out of it faster than anyone expects... and in the end it will make her even stronger... I really would love for Patricio to get the girl in the end, because he has been the one acting consistently as the one that deserves to get such a prize in the end.
Rosa the B should rot in hell, which is what she fears the most.

Great recap!
These past few weeks have been really hard to watch with Rod slinking further & further into 'Jerkville'. However, I feel (hope) that this is where we will start seeing the turning & changing of is ways. I think he realizes what he has lost and that will mature him. Again, I am hoping. He cannot be with Luci in his current state.
And gee, is Pato giving it to Rod or what? Awkward....
As for Luci, her reaction and emotional response towards Claudio was as I thought it would be in real life. I mean seriously, as if she were going to cuddle up and call him daddy right away. The relationship will build into a father/daughter over the next few weeks, I am certain. I cried for Paz. As a mother, I could really feel her peace of mind coming through the TV!
Ah Rosa... only a well placed brain tumor could excuse your crazy. That being said, such a tumor would have killed you long ago and can not be used as an excuse for what you did 19 years ago. Good luck with that....

@Marta..lovely español vocabulary to pass on to Anita tonight. I'm sure she'll have reason to use it! Yep, right now our hunkalicious Rod has Loser written all over his forehead, biceps, deltoids and six-pak. Hopefully he'll start the growing up process now.
@Clara...Julie and her "champan"...yesss, she seems to want to celebrate every niggling, mean-spirited triumph with a glass of bubbly. Party girl going to seed and desperately in need of income.
@Nolegirl...Welcome. Have you commented before? Anyway,like you, my favorite scene was Pato quietly sticking it to Rod. And he certainly found his mark! Second favorite was Melissa's follow-up jab. As for brain tumors, you're right, an actual tumor would have taken out Rosalena at least 10 years ago if not earlier. We'll have to chalk up her actions to a destiny of evil.

Judy - I have been lurking for a while, but got tired of commenting to myself!
This is my first ever TN - I don't even speak Spanish. I went on a business trip and when I got home, but Mother in law had gotten my husband hooked and now we watch every night. He translated each episode for me until we fianlly got subtitles turned on. I was amazed at how I could follow so easily without understanding 90% of the words. I now understand how silent movies could be enjoyable.
Sadly, watching with my husband I have to act like 'Rod in Towel' scenes aren't big deal.

Well, glad you stepped out of the shadows, NoleGirl. The more people commenting, the richer the discussions. And of course we recappers love knowing there are people reading!
They say that communication is at least 75% facial expressions and tone of voice (that's why babies and pets understand us very well!)so I'm not surprised you've been following the action even without your hubby's translations. I think Gringo is in the same boat, but he "gets" it without knowing Spanish.
Laughing about hiding your reaction to our Rod in a towel. I get a little edgy when my husband walks through the room where I'm watching. Who knows what I might be drooling over!?

Poor Rod just a typical clueless galan. Was thinking about the differences between him and Pato. Rod takes after Rosa and Pato has that part of Max that is a loving and wise father and he doesn't have any of Rosa craziness.
Pato thinks things through. Knowing the kind of girl Luci is he reasoned that she could not have been guilty of lying and bad behavior.
Rod doesn't think he just reacts and not wisely. Faced with the scene in the torture chamber otherwise known as the library he immediately went with the accusers, never thought to give Luci more than a second to defend herself. He sees Claudio and Luci in the car and immediately reacts mentally accusing her of having an affair with the other man. At some level he knew Rosa's dinner party was a set up and his reaction was to go with the flow, not to challenge her and take a hike. Pouting after thinking bad things about Claudio going off to Het Het with Luci and when Gagme slithers all over him does he think this is wrong? No he rushes off to have revenge sex. Idiot. Can not wait to see how he reacts when the discovers the truth about Luci and his sainted mother.
Poor Boris. First he gets castrated in the library and now he is banned to Siberia. The flowers were a lovely gesture and unnecessary since he had done nothing wrong but the boy like the kids from Het Het has obviously been raised right. Poor Jana how is she ever going to explain to him that her mother is just nuts.

Nice analysis Decie Girl. Rod definitely is a "hot reactor", leading with his limbic "old brain" rather than the frontal hemispheres like contemplative Pato. Rod has mostly been portrayed as a visceral type (aside from his one forward-thinking idea business-wise) so he's reacting true to form. But clearly it's driving us all nuts. Just like his mama.
I'm sorry Boris was so severely chastised but clearly this is paving the way for our charming Lorenzo, so let the games begin.

Thank you JubyB. Your recap had all the right seasonings and the flavor was just right.Nicely sprinkled with humor with just a dash of savvy. I just love it." Rod dead to me" is a jerk in any language. As if scrubbing his skin raw is going cleanse his pathetic soul.He and Gala deserve each other. So that's what Julie and Gala's look mean. BOTOX. Julie just looks surprised to me.Gala just looks constipated With arrogance.The witch is so sure Dead to me is in the bag.AS if indeed.
Thanks again Judy.
Olive
Thanks again Judy.

Such a well-written compliment Olive....have you ever considered recapping? Think about it. Your descriptions of Julie and Gala were spot on too...very colorful, I must say.
Gala is supremely over-confident. Can't think why. But given that this TN has a ways to go, I've got to imagine that she'll SEEM to win for a while. Dread those capitulos, I can tell you!

Wow i love the recaps here. I started watching novelas many years ago with my mother in law who was Columbian. She would translate for me. Now there are subtitles. But i understand most of it without. Im a huge Gabriel Soto fan but getting dissapointed by the day with his character. I hope he redeems himself soon. His facial expressions and acting alone are why i keep watching.
Thanks Barzzini. We're here to serve. Gabriel Soto is very easy on the eyes, but his character is knee-deep in stoopid for the moment. Still, with all these little zingers his family is giving him (outside of Rosalena) let's hope he starts reforming himself pronto. In the meantime, we'll just have to think of how good the man looks in a towel.
It is easy for me to forgive Rod's stupidity based on how good he looks in a towel... I've been doing this with my husband going on 5 years now! He looks right nice in one too (although second to Rod).

Thanks so much Judy B---A lot of comments today but I must add one more.
Great! Great! Elvira. Yes, Rod is a modern day cave man.
NoleGirl--I'm sure that a lot of us out here don't understand Spanish, I'm one of them but I have found these novelas to be so good that I can't stay away from them. This one, is one of the best I have seen so far.
Olive--Great comment.
Luci has been through a lot in a very short time. I hope that the sun's warmth and brightness comes to her soon. It has already begun and I hope that It continues in a big way.----NimRod you big cave man jerk, you need to suffer a little more.

thanks for the recap judy!
agree with everyone else about the face off between lineras & donA, can't wait to see lineras get all papa mode on him. I'm also glad that they are showing luci still adjusting to the truth, and didn't just have her rush into her dad's arms. good job writers.
anybody else liking how they're handling the medical aspect of the tn? I'm no expert but im not bending over backwards to have to accept what they say as truth. They're actually trying to find neurological reasons behind rosa's behavior & not just saying que esta mal and leaving it at that (dont think they would accept BSC as a medical disorder). also like how we still get occasional updates on pato's progress.

I was wondering if they were trying to put in some psa about rehabilitation since they were showing quite a bit of Pato's efforts. It's a nice change from the usual product placements.
But maybe Rod could endorse a brand of tequila? Juli could shill for Oil of Olay. Valentina for some brand of cookie that they keep feeding her when she gets all truthy with Gala. Rosalena and prozac. So many opportunities but I'm still glad the effort is going towards Pato for now.

How nice to get back from work and find a slew of new comments...we recappers love it when you all chip in with your viewpoints, favorite characters etc. It makes the blog come to life.
@Nolegirl...glad your hubster looks good in a towel. Mine did about 45 years ago. 'Course I looked better then too.
@Gringo...I'm SURE Rod will suffer some more...lots more. Unfortunately that means our dear Luciana will suffer as well. Because in spite of everything, she loves and misses him terribly.
@jlk....yes, so far the medical issues have been handled realistically and also, people's behavior seems believable given the way they're "wired". Some of our basic reactions to life do come pre-wired, and that is why I'm not sure how realistically Rod will change. But one can hope.
@Kelly...I have really enjoyed the focus on the rehabilitation efforts. At one time, I wanted to be a physical therapist and volunteered in the summer at a Children's Hospital. It takes an incredible amount of time to make the tiniest bit of progress, and I've like how it's taken Pato quite a bit of time just to move a finger. Pretty darn realistic compared to the miracle recoveries we've seen in a lot of these.
Again, thank you all for your lively and interesting comments today. This is a great group!

I read here that some hubbys are wondering why the obsession with these shows. Mine is no different. He got mad that i was watching 2 Gabo shows at once. Sortilegio and Refugio. Plus watching Bajo Las Reindas on you tube. (Gabo is hot hot hot in that.) I had to tell my hubs that im just trying to learn spanish. LOL
Barzzini- Are you re-watching Sorti or watching it for the first time? GS was quite the sweet puppydog in that one, with his "impossible" love. Glad you're getting your fill of Gabriel Soto beefcake. :)
Ay de mi! Me? Recapping tonight? I know it's on the sideboard for Weds, but I'm not supposed to start until next Wed as a Wed regular. I just got back very late Mon and I've barely turned my internal clock back to EDT (it was harder than I thought).
Hope this can get resolved in 20 min.
Meanwhile, I can send on my appreciation for Judy who has joined the recappers convention lately. You're doing a splendid job of starting in the middle of this story. Glad you have found it worthwhile. It is one of the smartest written and acted tns to come along in quite a while. There's little room to snark at any of the characters.

Thanks for the welcome Anita. I'm with Vivi, I'm pretty sure Paquita is doing tonight for you. We haven't heard from her today but I'm quite sure she understood her subbing was for two weeks. Relax and enjoy the show.
I've always said the more snark the worst the novela. In a good or great one we spend more time analyzing the characters and truly enjoying the story. This one is exceptionally well written and the acting across the board is fantastic. Can't help but feel sorry for first time novela viewers who will think they are all this good. LOL

That was a prize winning recap, JudyB, loved it.
Loved your remark about your mom. I had to laugh, in my day we would never have brought a guy in to our bedroom. That doesn't mean we wouldn't be out making out in his car in the driveway while our parents would flick the porch light.

Exactly Emarie...a lot went on in those cars. There's a wonderful country song that says "C'mon and Kiss Me in the Car". Definitely a romantic spot for those of us of a certain age.
Decie Girl...you're a veteran of many telenovelas. Glad you're enjoying this one so much. It was a welcome surprise to me. I hadn't intended to watch it.

Thanks Judy B for the recaps. I also love the name Torresloca. Inspite of the clinical symptoms that la loca is manifesting, I think she is just downright evil and she is fully aware of the evil deeds she has done and she needs to be punished by law. Solitary confinement for the double crime of kidnapping and grave desecration. Same with the Gagme for calumny and rape of the dead one.

Years ago I have left America and moved to a Latin city too; I prefer their idiosyncrasy much more than traditional american coldness. Now I have a 4rent Argentina apartment in Buenos Aires and I am truly happy with my family.
