Amor Bravío #14 (Uni 9) Thu 8/23/12 Amor (o al menos deseo) a primera vista
Dionisio says that last he heard, Daniel's wife was in a coma and in critical condition. Camila insists that Daniel's wife and child should receive the inheritance if he's not going to.
The ship's captain? tells Daniel and his new best enemy that when the ship drops anchor, immigration will be coming up the ramp, so they'd better jump off the side. After that, they're on their own. He hands over their pay.
Camila is taking her role as executor very seriously. She thinks that giving the inheritance to Daniel's kids is what her uncle would have wanted. Everybody is trying to talk her out of it. Camila insists that if the ranch is to be hers, she wants to come by it honestly. Alonso says it's imperative that she take possession as quickly as possible. Dionisio softens Alonso's crazy by saying that the situation is very stressful for everyone and the way to end the stress is to get to a resolution. Isadora backs up Dionisio. Dionisio offers to stay abreast of the news from Chile. Alonso, stupidly, keeps arguing with Camila, which only pisses her off and she pulls rank as the executrix and goes back to her veterinary duties. It seems to have slipped Alonso's mind that all his machinations will come to nothing if he doesn't stay married to Camila. So much for his flowery apologies. Isadora and Dionisio exchange an annoyed look.
Leoncio's niece (whose name I keep missing) calls her mother (whose name I keep missing) to say she's not coming home until late, her uncle be damned! Some cute boy catches up to her and they make with the smoochies.
Alonso follows Camila out to insist that he's just trying to protect her. She's on to him, though, and knows he just wants her to agree with him. He tries to say that if everyone else disagrees with her, they must all be right, but Camila knows she's the one who loved her uncle best and knew him best, so if there's anyone who can judge how he wanted things to be done, it's her. She finds it ironic that everyone else is more pissed off about her uncle's will than she is, when she's the one being affected by it the most. Camila finally tells Alonso to just drop it because she's not going to change her mind.
Agustina thanks Dionisio for taking such an interest in something that doesn't concern him in the least and having to put up with such unpleasant scenes because of it. Isadora brings up knitting again, assuming, correctly, that Agustina is way too upset to teach her this afternoon. Agustina gratefully agrees to leave it for another day.
Alonso agrees to drop it. Camila says, since he's in such a conciliatory mood, she might as well tell him that Viviana and Rafael will be visiting the ranch to take pictures, and get info for the book, respectively. Alonso agrees to treat them well, but only for her sake. Camila goes off to get some actual work done, finally.
Cute townie boy dating Leoncio's niece is from the ranch neighboring La Malquerida--La Buena Aventura. So, lemme see if I'm getting this, one ranch is unloved (La Malquerida) and the neighboring ranch is a fun roll in the hay (La Buena Aventura; the good adventure, though "aventura" also refers to an affair--not necessarily cheating, but could also be a love affair between two single people)? Well, these two cute kids are willing to fight for their luuuuurve, encouraged by cute townie (ranchie?) boy's older brother.
Between Camila's goodness and Alonso's stupidity, they're really throwing a wrench in Dionisio's and Isadora's plans. The two bitch about it.
The boat has dropped anchor, but before Daniel, er, The Count of Monte Cristo, can make his jump, his new best enemy tries to smash his leg in with a sledgehammer. El Conde smacks him around, gets free, and makes his jump, while the dumbass who tried to stop him gets busted. Sucker! A few other guys make it over the side and they call in the Coast Guard.
Leoncio comes into Alonso's office. There's some confusion about who exactly he wanted to speak to and who said what to whom about it and in the end he leaves and Natalia's annoyed, and Alonso would be confused if he gave a crap, but since all these people are beneath him, he kinda doesn't care.
Daniel de Monte Cristo gets hauled ashore by a fisherman. Talk about reeling in the big one, heh, heh.
Viviana takes photos of studs while Camila explains things to Rafael. Alonso watches from his office window and smashes a glass of brandy.
Time passes. Viviana takes pictures. Rafael talks to ranch hands. Daniel is nursed back to health. Isadora learns how to knit…or not. Viviana is introduced to her. Alonso keeps trying to get frisky, but Camila resists him.
Dionisio is having no luck getting Farcas to return his calls, so he has no idea what's going on in Chile. Isadora suggests they use that to their advantage and tell Camila that Daniel's wife and child are dead. "If Farcas won't return your calls, he's not likely to return hers." Dionisio agrees and says it's time to act. He'll tell Camila, but he needs Isadora's help to get the developers onto the property to check things out. He can't put off the actual planning stage any longer, and since Don Daniel had been buying up additional properties, that has to be taken into account. Isadora figures she can distract Camila so she won't even know they're there. Dionisio praises Isadora, saying if her son had half her talent and skill, things wouldn't have gone this way.
Cute ranch boy's name is Pablo. He's just got to finish up some paperwork and he'll be officially graduated. Leoncio's niece is almost of age. Soon they can make like Billy and Patty in that Rod Stewart song. *smoochies* What could possibly go wrong?
Un mes después… Or rather, Un mes después…
Agustina is glad Camila and Alonso have stopped fighting. Um. Ok. Camila is meeting Alonso for lunch.
Daniel de Monte Cristo is on a bus, and his seatmate is going to suggest a cafeteria (café) to him that has some awesome pan dulce (sweet bread, pastries). It will be probably be the same one where Camila is meeting Alonso. Alonso is driving behind the bus, but he gets into the other lane to pass it, while honking his horn and yelling, "Quitense, muertos de hambre, tengo prisa!" (Get the hell out of my way you frickin' bums, I'm in a hurry!) I find that particularly offensive. And he's not even passing the damn bus, so apparently his car's engine isn't performing any better than his penis. The bus ends up having to brake violently to keep from hitting him as he pulls back into their lane.
Camila admires some sunflowers at a street stand and buys three.
Daniel de Monte Cristo arrives in town.
Alonso orders a coffe and sits down.
Daniel de Monte Cristo's seatmate walks him to the café.
The waitress offers to let Camila know that Alonso's washing his hands if she arrives before he gets back to the table.
Camila walks into the café, sunflowers in hand, and sits at an empty table. Daniel de Monte Cristo approaches and says that's his table. He points out his hat and Camila gets up, knocking over the sunflowers. In the process of reaching for them, she and Daniel touch each other's hands…significantly. Viviana comes in, interrupting the gratuitous hand sex. Daniel hands Camila the flowers. Viviana goes to the bathroom and Camila and Daniel get into a polite-fight about who gets the table. Daniel wins, and he goes off to sit at another table.
Alonso meets Don Daniel's lawyer. He's trying to convince him to give the ranch to Camila, saying that they're losing money, but he won't explain how. He just says as the administrator he knows what he's talking about. The lawyer says there's only 9 more months to wait, or until the death certificate for Daniel comes in. Alonso shiftily says he can't wait that long, he needs Camila to have the ranch NOW! He covers saying he'd like to give her that peace. He offers to bribe the lawyer, who takes offense.
Camila gives Viviana the sunflowers as yet another apology for Alonso's behavior at her party. Camila explains about taking the guy's table…she turns to look for Daniel, but he's gone.
Daniel walks around, remembering what his mother said about how much he would love the town. He thinks that he misses his mom and his wife.
Camila keeps waxing rhapsodic about her mystery man. Viviana has a laugh over what she assumes (correctly) Alonso's reaction would be. Viviana asks how things are going with Alonso. Camila isn't happy. She admits that nothing's going on with them…you know, as in nothing..um, as in nada de sexo.
Daniel gets a room at Amanda's inn. He doesn't know how long he's staying. He tells her he's kind of keeping his mom's last wish. Amanda hopes the town lives up to her memories. She can't rent him a room without ID, though.
Camila's feeling disappointed about the lack of sex. Viviana hopes Camila realizes the she's not the cause of the problem. Camila says she's been doubting that she has the power to arouse him…maybe she doesn't dress nice enough, she never fixes herself up. Viviana calls bullshit on that right quick! "You can't let this affect your self-esteem! I don't know why he hasn't been able to rise to the occasion, but I'm sure it's not because of you." Viviana understands his jealousy now…not that it's justified. Viviana says Camila's going to have to get herself a lover to prove to herself it's not her or, or get a divorce already.
Daniel tells Amanda that he was robbed, which is why he doesn't have any ID, but since he had some cash hidden on him, he can pay her 3 weeks up front. Amanda hesitates, but with his sweet innocent face (and slammin' bod) he convinces her that he's a good guy. He's planning to stay in town if he can get a job, and, you know, if she lets him stay there. Amanda agrees, since times have been tough lately, but she says the first thing she sees that she doesn't like, he's out of there and he won't get his deposit back! Daniel agrees. He gives his name as Andres Duarte.
While Isadora pretends to knit (puh-leeze, there were no stitches coming off that left hand needle…couldn't they have at least taught her how to slip stitches to make it a little more convincing?) she talks Agustina into the following: so that things are in order, should Daniel turn up alive and in a position to claim his inheritance, OR so that Camila can see what she's missing out on, Agustina will suggest an audit/appraisal of the ranch; Isadora will hire an auditor and Alonso will pay for it, and they'll inform Camila when the auditor arrives, because she wouldn't be so rude as to kick them out after they'd come all that way.
Dante is back in town and he comes to Abraham's office to explain that Miriam got the life insurance policy without Daniel's knowledge. Whatever, Abraham's already decided Daniel's guilty and he doesn't believe a word Dante says. Dante vows that the more Abraham insists on accusing Daniel, the harder he'll fight to defend him.
Andres now meets Natalia. He claims to be from a small town in South America. He asks for her help finding a job and says he's pretty good at anything. Natalia mentions her job at the ranch. When Daniel hears she works at La Malquerida, he tries to see if she can get him a job there. Natalia figures if she asks Camila, who's the real owner, she can get him a job.
Camila remembers suggesting to Alonso that maybe she join him for therapy. Alonso is now the one counseling patience and saying these things take time. He tries to accuse Camila of being some kind of depraved nympho for actually wanting to have sex in this decade. Camila snaps out of her memory and says to herself that she has to do something. She climbs a chair to pull a piece of paper out of a box on a high shelf.
Natalia's sweeping the hotel lobby when Daniel comes downstairs. Oblivious to the fact that Natalia's a woman, he says he's going out for a walk around town and reminds her about trying to get him a job. Um, dude, she was hoping you'd invite her! That dumbass is going to be breaking hearts all over town.
Camila calls Alonso's supposed therapist to ask if she can make an appointment, either with him, or with someone else if he'd prefer not to see them both. The receptionist checks in the computer, but Alonso was only seen once and never came back, so she doesn't think the therapist would have a problem seeing Camila. Camila remembers Alonso coming back from that appointment and handing her the doctor's info. She chokes back what I hope is righteous fury and says she'll call back and make an appointment later.
Amanda and Padre Baldy come back to the inn. Natalia shouts down from upstairs that she's just cleaning a room and then she's going to have a shower. Amanda offers to make Padre Baldy a coffee and asks him if he thinks it was ok to let someone without ID stay there. Padre Baldy thinks it was good she showed charity to someone in need. Amanda agrees, but she's definitely going to keep an eye on him and make sure he deserves it. I agree. We all need to keep a close eye on this Andres person. Who knows what he could be hiding behind that handsome face and those rippling pecs, not to mention inside those tight jeans. I'm just saying. Better safe than sorry.
Isadora happily announces to Alonso and Dionisio that they can have people come in and do all the measuring and calculating they want. Alonso is resentful when Dionisio tells him to support Agustina in keeping Camila from paying attention to what's going on. He doesn't like being told what to do. Dionisio reminds him that Camila has cause quite a lot of problems already, so Alonso had better figure out how to get Camila to give them the ranch. "Por las buenas o por las malas" (the easy way or the hard way). Alonso wants some clarification about the hard way. Dionisio says that he's going to tell Camila that Daniel's wife died, but that's the last thing he'll do. After that, it's all up to Alonso, unless he wants to lose everything. "Do I need to remind you that we have a signed contract that I can use to ruin you?" Business is business, after all. Dionisio takes his leave and Isadora turns on Alonso. He rather whinily says she needs to stop pressuring him.
Padre Baldy and Amanda have their coffee and talk about Daniel. Padre Baldy doesn't know if he's alive or not. Amanda hopes he's able to show up safe and sound and able to prove his innocence. Padre Baldy says regardless, there still the matter of his jailbreak. Amanda wishes she could see a picture of him and Padre Baldy remembers Daniel gave him one before he died. Amanda pulls out a picture of Agatha and Padre Baldy says Daniel looks like her.
Camila is out on the balcony, musing, when Daniel sees her from behind a tree. Camila sees movement and thinks it's Alonso. Leoncio appears and says no, Alonso isn't home. He goes on his way, leaving Camila to her musing and Alonso to the realization that this is Camila. He thought bubbles that she's the reason he's lost everything.
Tomorrow: Daniel and Camila meet again.

All I'm saying is, Daniel/Andres has to shower sometime. In the interest of promoting good hygiene.
RL stuff: didn't get cast from last week's callback, but I did have another audition yesterday. It's that season again for commercial and TV auditions. I wish they'd call me for some role where they need a smartass...I could totally snag something like that :D

Great work, Kat. My faves:
And he's not even passing the damn bus, so apparently his car's engine isn't performing any better than his penis.
He tries to accuse Camila of being some kind of depraved nympho for actually wanting to have sex in this decade.
May the smartass role turn up!
I'd gladly hand Daniel the soap and stand outside the shower with the towel.
Sue, the obvious product placement would probably render viewers borrachos before the middle of the episode. I hate these things, but it's better than having the brand name covered with duct tape, like they used to do in US soaps.
I wonder when Ximeana will turn up again.

I was going to say "What, no Corazón salvaje joke?", Kat, but it's too early to be laughing this hard at a car/virility joke. Well played. :)
That said, speaking of the Kia Alonso...the unconventional attractiveness I don't have a problem with (I can kind of see the evil Tony Randall thing now), but if he's supposed to be Daniel/Andres/Edmond's competition for Camila--and there isn't another alternative, unless you count Rafael the writer--why did the show make him this much of an jerk up front? Isn't that directly opposite to the usual pattern, where the galan's evil rival is usually charming and only privately a jerk until later in the show?
(Except, of course, when it's...Ariel Lopez Padilla!)
And based on the lack of mentions of any sort of funeral for Miriam (unless I missed one while channelsurfing), plus the mentions of her inheriting La Malquerida if Daniel's "dead," it appears that Miriam's still alive, coma status optional. As said before she's not vital to the story right now, though I am definitely having a Mariana/ElTal flashback thanks to this.

Kat: Great job. I think I fell asleep during part of this episode. You've cleared it all up -but, did you mean Daniel or Alonso in the last sentence?
Daniel will have to work shirtless at La Malquerida - you know, he'll be a fieldhand - not much need for a computer geek at the ranch.

Another great recap, Kat. I'm sorry you didn't get the role from last week's callback, but I'm sure you'll land something really good, especially if your acting is even a tenth as impressive as your recapping!
Among my favorite Kat gems this time:
"so apparently his car's engine isn't performing any better than his penis"
"We all need to keep a close eye on this Andres person. Who knows what he could be hiding behind that handsome face and those rippling pecs, not to mention inside those tight jeans. I'm just saying. Better safe than sorry."
And I love your referring to him as Daniel de Monte Cristo.
It looks as if Natalia may complicate the Daniel/Camila relationship. She certainly seems to have the hots for him. And why not?
As for competition for Camila, I'm wondering whether Rene Strickler will be added to the mix? He's supposedly in this TN, but he hasn't yet made an appearance except in the opening credits.
Pasofino, you say there's no need for a computer geek at La Malquerida, but I'm not so sure. Alonso obviously keeps a lot of damning stuff on his computer, and someone with Daniel's skills could be extremely useful in accessing it.

Right now, there's no obvious need for a computer geek at Malquerida but later on somebody's going to need to hack into Alonso's computer and get information...perhaps this Andres person can do it shirtless?

I haven't done one for this show yet so here goes:
We learned Leoncio's niece & the boy next door will have a love story that will inevitably be cut out of the DVD set.
We learned we'd love to give Daniel some TLC to heal his busted leg...shirtless of course
We learned Viviana takes pictures of studs, so there should soon be a roll of D'Andres in her darkroom soon. Maybe she can give that picture to Camila, too.
Don Daniel's lawyer learned Alonso is anxious to declare everyone dead so he...er, Camila can get her hands on the ranch.
We learned the only ID D'Andres needs is a cute face and a slammin' bod.
We learned Camila has a sad about not having sex...although I don't see why she'd want to have sex with someone who is about as appealing as a sea urchin
Abraham learned Daniel never knew about Miriam's life insurance policy
Dante learned Abraham doesn't give a rat's @$$ if Daniel didn't know, he wants Dan put away for good.
Camila learned Al-No-No only went to the therapist once.
D'Andres learned the cute sunflower girl in the cafe is the one who ruined his life.
This is the second show I've seen Silvia Navarro in where her character does not have sex with her husband and is enchanted by a stranger with an assumed identity.

Kat- This line had me spitting out my tea: "so apparently his car's engine isn't performing any better than his penis" LOL!
Fabulous recap. Thank you for the mentions of Dan/Andres' hunkiness. I had all kinds of lascivious thoughts when that fisherman caught him in his net and dragged him ashore (poor little fisherman could barely carry the big guy). You just know he sweet little grandma kept the hot mer-man shirtless the whole time she nursed him back to health for no reason.

Heh...okay, ladies: for the first episode where Cristian de la Fuente is inevitably shirtless, I now expect the first line of the related recap to be one of the following:
1. "Thank you, God!"
2. "Mmmm, beeeeefcaaaaaake..."
3. Some sort of reference to either Handel's Hallelujah Chorus or Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
I know you can do it! :D

Thanks for your recap Kat. I too loved the car/virility comparison and your suggestion of keeping an eye on all of Daniel all the time ;)
Hope you get an audition/callback and job soon!
With the way the plot is shaping up, I hope it doesn't go the way of CME where Daniel gets together with Camila to torment her.

Kat, loved the recap, thanks.
Alnocando is driving me nuts. He whines incessantly and lies. And who in their right mind wears a business suit and tie on Mexican horse ranch? Hopefully, they will put us out of misery pronto and kill him off.

I'm sure we'll see a shirtless Daniel many times in contrast to that reptile Alonsssso who is skinnier than the Geico gekko.
Gonzo! That's who Alonso looked like last night. Maybe that explains his "problem": He'd rather be with chickens.

Kat: Thanks for the great, snarky recap. I missed this ep last night (still catching up prev eps), so your recap helps me decide what to watch and what to FF through. This ep had a lot going on.
Anon207: this is my first intro to your lists. Loved it. Can't wait to read more.
I finally figured out who Amanda reminds me of---Charo.

Kat - great recap. This TN is moving along so quickly that you did a fantastic job capturing everything that happened.
I missed part of the Isa-Ag convo about the appraisers; Isa's 'knitting' had me mesmerized. You're right about teaching her how to slip a few stitches.
So now we have a heroine who does not know the true identity of the galan. This usually adds some interesting plot twists, but it means that sooner or later Daniel/Andres will have some splaining to do and Camila will be angry and distrusting.
Was the actress playing Amanda in La Verdad Oculta? She looks very familiar.

OMG!!!! Cristian De La Fuente is soooooooooooooo gorgeous. I am so in love I can't stand it.
Now that I got that off my chest, I'll read the recap.
Now that I got that off my chest, I'll read the recap.
Ok, Even though I'm still trying to compose myself after seeing my new boyfriend, I read the recap and it was very funny 5Ft.
I'm still not getting the purpose of creepy poncho guy and that office scene with Natalia and Alonso just confused me more. What was the purpose of that?
Also confusing was that I also thought Camila was going to meet Alonso for lunch, but they ended up eating at the same place but not with each other. Editing mistake?
What's going to happen when Amanda sees the picture of Daniel and recognizes him? Will she keep his secret?

Aya- Yes, it's the same actress.
Cathy- Al and Cami were never going to eat together and it wasn't the same place. They made it seem that they were meeting each other, but neither said the other's name as they were making plans. The audience didn't realize until Vivi walked into Cami's restaurant (which was also Dan's restaurant) to meet her.

5ft - Thanks for the inspired recap, hilarious as usual. I actually nodded off towards the end, so I missed some of the last events. When Daniel washed up after jumping off the boat the first shot of the village he washed up looked the same as the one in Chile. For a minute I thought he had washed up down the coast again!
I think Amanda will keep quiet, because she and Camila are the only ones who have said "Perhaps this Daniel Diaz Acosta is innocent."
Everyone else is calling him a delincuente, a bum, etc. Even the Padre is like "Um, I'on't know about this Daniel."
I don't think Amanda will find out about Daniel's real identity until she takes out a picture of Agatha to remember her dear friend from long ago, and Daniel sees the picture and is like "Uh, whatchoo doin' with a picture of my mom?"

Anon, Padre was going to show Agatha a picture of Daniel that Daniel senior received just before he died.
2 thumbs up with a cherry! Nearly lost it when I got to "apparently his car's engine isn't performing any better than his penis".
Don't believe we got the pleasure of seeing CdlF shirtless in FELS. Cami and Dan have been savin' it so long now that I got a feeling their first time is gonna be dyn-oh-myyyyyyte!

Dear Kat,
Thanks for another fun and funny recap as we begin another novela.
It's been nice to see a novela where two officials refuse to be bribed. Abraham is no prize (he hates our handsome protagonist) but he's not going to be pushed around by Dionisio. Nor is our local lawyer buddy, who love the colors of Augustina's outfits, about to be bribed by Alonso.
Juanita: great question about Rene Strickler's role in all of this. I fear that it will be something like this: Camila and Daniel eventually get together, part, and RS comes in for a brief, unsuccessful time with Camila while she secretly pines away for Daniel. We had this scenario in Fuego, where Christian de la Fuente appeared on the scene to court Sophia during one of her many separations from Juan.
Isn't the actor who plays the sneaky, evil uncle and brother of the cook (who was in Corazon Salvaje many moons ago) so nasty? The actor was just great in Pasion in a wonderful, meaty role. Other parts pale in comparison.
That's right, SN didn't have sex with hubby Sergio Sendel in Manana es para siempre because her nana died on her wedding day. Am I remembering that right?

I think my new boyfriend, Cristian De La Fuente, looks like Ricky Martin.

Traveling Lady- Yes, in MEPS SN's character somehow avoided having sex with hotter than hot (and NOT impotent) Sergio Sendel. First because she found out her beloved nana died on her wedding day, then because she started having doubts that she loved her husband, started having lusty thoughts about the mysterious stranger, and started having doubts that her hubby was a good person. Sergio played his sexual frustration perfectly. But he had her step-mommy Babs just down the hall to scratch his itch.
Robey, good call, Amanda=Charro! Cootchie, cootchie! Amanda (Maria Sorte) also played Sofia's bio mom on FELS.
Rene Strickler was Gaviota's interim love interest in Destilando Amor. I'd like to see him get the girl one of these times (just not this time, if it's Camila!).
Kat, great recap! Your smartassery is superior! I love it.

So Dionisio wants in infiltrate the ranch with his workers to sabotage the ranch profits, I guess. Daniel will work on the ranch too and figure out what's happening. He'll hate Carmina for what he thinks she has done, but he will still fall in love with her even though because he can't resist her. Cliched, but I love it anyway.
Cathyx--Dio is ordering these workers to do the measuring and calculating for the conversion to a tourist destination. He wants Cam distracted so she won't notice.

Just got back. I hope i'm not too late to comment on this, but I have to wonder where Daniel/Andres got the money to buy clothes and a leather jacket. Even his hat. Where did he work if he did? I know we have to tighten the old beany but..... It's too early in the episodes for this. You also have to wonder how he keeps all his things in a little backpack. It's not even the big one.
We last saw him escape with the clothes on his back. He even eventually lost his gray top and ended up stealing a blue jacket down the shore.
