Caray, Caray!

Thank you for the recap, Bill. Great job! Well organized. Well written. You covered all the important parts and didn't waste space on blither. I loved your zinger, "why are all his clothes so shiny? Does he shellac them?"

I loved the scene in Reception, counseling Marcela, with "Eva and the Evalettes." Eva was both singing the solos and conducting the doo-wop chorus. What a great scene!!
 

Thank you for getting this great recap up so quickly! I'm on the west coast, and they said our show would be on at 9:00, but apparently it came on much later, so my tape didn't get about the last quarter of it. Paula H -there was a singing scene? Drat, I didn't see it!

I'm loving this novela. The acting is terrific - what a splendid cast. And the story line is the first to get me really involved since the original Betty.

Thanks for this, Bill.

I love the "rat with two legs" comment. Will we eventually get Paquita la del Barrio singing her famous "Rata de dos patas"? I'd love for Antonia to hear her do "Taco Placero"!

I am of the opinion that Eduardo would not be above hiring a hit man to kill Helena at this point. His hatred of her is disturbing in the extreme. And to finish with forcing his wife out of the house? Where the hell does this come from?
 

Thanks, Bill, for the excellent recap. Smooth, with little firecrackers of sparkling wit.

I'd noticed Pluto's suits as well, sporting that shiny fabric. I found an Esquire fashion blog noting the trend toward shiny suits in 2012, so maybe he's all hot and hip as well as shiny.

Sad for Marcela. Every time a woman makes a step forward, it seems she gets pushed back. Laughed at Eva preaching in reception. She seems to have gained the friendship of the Evalettes, i.e. "blue dresses."

Thanks Ithabill...I love your compact well-organized recaps. Just enough, not too much, eminently satisfying.

Only saw part of this but Fernando upsets me more than anyone. Eduardo is so over the top evil, I don't believe it. But Fernando is close enough to a reality I've experienced to really make me grit my teeth.

Oh and MAGGIE, so good to see you back at CarayCaray again. We've missed you.


 

Thanks so much, Bill. This was great.

Yes the scene in the lobby was priceless. Love the new name for the blue dresses - Evalettes. Great.

Oh can Fernando please get his comeuppance soon! ¡Ojala! He is so maddening.

Bill,

Thank you so much for the recap.

Eva's confrontation with Fernando was so satisfying. I kept wondering who Eva reminds me of when she gets angry . . . the falsetto, hair flipping, angry sounds, and manly whacks . . . aha! She's like Miss Piggy on a tear.


 

Thanks so much Bill. Excellent recap!

Gee - I don't know how much more of Fernando or Eduardo I can take.
 

Thank you Ithabilll! Pluto's suit did seem especially shiny last night. For some reason I also noticed his pants were very tight, too. Not a bad look.

I didn't understand everything that was said during the Eva/Evalettes performance except the "ya". Nonetheless, that was a great scene. And Miss Piggy does come to mind!

Thanks, Ithabill___Yikes !!I know that it wrong on so many levels, but Marcelo Cordoba is a sIZZlling hot villain. I have to confess I would let this bad guy in the platinum suit take advantage of me. p.s. Those pants were as tight pegged as the style the Beatles wore back in the day....and that's okay for me.
 

Awsome recap Ithabill. Yeah, Pluto's shiny suit. That isn't the first time he's worn it. It does look good on him and agree with Susanlynn he is one hot, sizzlin' guy. Too bad he's a bad one.

I'm with y'all about the Bastardo, they guy has got to go. What a nerve, and now Pluto arranges for Lalito to see Helena. I wonder where that is going. I am so hoping Helena gets custody of Lalito and never moves back in that house. Bastardo is toxic.

Loved Eva last night. So now JC finally sees the foibles of his male cooworkers, especially Fernando. Loved the Evalettes with Eva talking about Fernando while he is standing there. Ferni looked like a rooster, chest all puffed out until Eva made him cower, too funny.

So our con man Max Montes, isn't his real name. I liked the real Max, such a nice guy. I wonder if Eva will ever find the "Max Montes" that gave the false evidence.

Poor Antonia. I hated the whale picture. Rebeca needs a good comeuppance, really. I hope Antonia finds out it is really Rebeca that is messin' around with Pluto and not Helena.
 

Marcelo played a good guy in many of my favorite novelas. The first one I saw him in was my fav Alborado. He played the main galan's right hand man. In that novela, he was a real boy scout helping and protecting not only his patron but others as well, especially the women. He also played a good guy/servant in Pasion. In later novelas, he played bad guys or bad guys who became good. I prefer him as a good guy. I need my heroes, and that face is too sweet to play sinister.
 

Miss Piggy and the Evalettes! Perfect! We needed a name for the special threesom of Blue Dresses. And "Miss Piggy" is a perfect match when Eva's motor gets revving!

And Madelaine, you're right, Ferni as a rooster! Especially a Bantam rooster - they're very small but they act like the Rambo of the barnyard! Too hilarious when the rooster was hopping up at the window as he left the office. I'm surprised Camil could watch it with a straight face!

Don't worry, Maggie. There was no actual singing. But while Eva was preaching to Marcela, at every pause the Evalettes would all talk at once, cheering her on, until Eva shushed them for her next "stanza," so it reminded me of a soloist and a chorus.

Last night was far, far less depressing than Wednesday. Wed. the bad guys won every single point. Thur. the good guys mitigated many of their losses. They didn't "win" any, but they are rallying.

* Helena's lawyer tells her her case is good.

* After talking to Samantha, Pluto concludes that Eva is no threat and retires his suspicions.

* Eva's path to Max was a dead end, but it's a start!

* Marcela defied Fernando. Adriano nixxed her return, but that's okay. She has taken the first step.

* Helena referred to her outing with Pluto when she talked to Toni. Toni was confused and asked what she meant, then the subject was dropped, but again, it's a start.

 

Yes, Plutarco is one hot villain but Rebecca is no slouch as a villainess either.
She is so-o-o nasty but her mobile face is fun to watch. The "ballena" on the wall is so cruel -- and so inspired. I had t laugh even as I was feeling bad for Toni. I also loved the way she stroked the family portrait of Pluto & Toni as she discussed her hot lover and the enormous obstacle to their love. Again -- cruel but inspired.

And Toni should be smart enough to comment on the intelligence of whales.

We hope this too shall happen.
 

Thank you Ithabill! I too was confused by the early start. They've always tended to err on the side of lateness, and an early start causes more inconvenience.

I've also noticed Pluto's shiny wardrobe. Maybe it's to provide a visual cue that he's a slick character!

I can't believe that part of Fernando's job is to check his wife's work. I think we can guess who introduced those errors in the first place, while she was fetching him a coffee to wash down those cold prepackaged cookies. I hope he ends up feeling VERY sorry for what he did.
 

Thanks for the great recap?
I'm a little confused - is Marcela quitting the company, or just the new position she had?
If she stays home, who will do Fernando's work at the office?:)

This show is a refreshing change from the dramatic novelas. It's a fun show.

I do not get why Helena's dad hates her so. Has he developed a brain tumor or something??



 

Ooops - big typo above.
It should read, "Thanks for the great recap!!" No question about it!
