Abismo de pasión #140 9/28/12: Gosh, I Hate Coming Up With Titles, but Here Goes: I HATE Ex-Padres Ascot and other of my OCD OBSERVATIONS
Labels: abismo
"It won’t be fun to hit on Enrique unless you’re around." Snort! Girl you are killing me today. And I'm not going to add the Baby Love Shack because now I am quoting everything you wrote so I am going to stop RIGHT NOW.
Oh goodie, Carito obviously has some sort of life-threatening illness. Now Doc Tovar can "save" her and fall in love with her. I wonder if she is as nice as she seems or if there is evil lurking within? Enrique would probably be better off going for the Cougar but he's still stuck on dumb. (Although very sweet; I've got to give him credit for that.)
Gabi finally admits he's had the hots for Alfonsina all these years. That scene was a hoot. I laughed so loudly I scared Mr. Sharkbait.
ITA about those doctors that broke up the fight. The last doctor I saw was about 18 yrs old and came up to my shoulder, no kidding (I'm 5'4"). I want a doctor who looks like those wrestler hunks.
Que the hell the kitchen scene with Lolita and Lucio? That was so random. I'm sure we're all going right out to buy some Knorr Suiza.
Cynderella, thanks again for your brilliant snarkaliciousness.
I am preparing the Karmageddon Poll for this series, as we are now about 21 episodes before the end. It will be posted in a week and will end at approximately 5 episodes before the finale.
You will need a Google account and unique identity name to enter. Additional rules will be posted on Monday October 8th with the poll.
I think a rather appropo new title to this drech should be " Calling the Kettle Black". Honestly,everyone throwing accusations at people who did the same blasted thing they did, but of course they can justify their behavior, the other person is a moron. With only a few weeks to go, they aren't even remotely making any case for the pairings that will most likely happen. Quite honestly, except for the stupid twosome at the center of this thing, everyone else seems to be "settling" or reluctantly going back to an earlier partner.
Still say Gael should leave town, Paloma scares me as a mother, QuiQui needs a Qik in the a** and someone to push him away from getting involved, and Flo, I'm sorry-you're dad may be buried there, but you would be so better off going back to the city. He'd understand.
Now, gotta say, that scene with Gabs and Alfi--holy smoke. Whoever on the patio back in the beginnning of this thing, (ah, the days when we naively thought this was a decent story), guessed that Gabs really had the ultimate hots for Alfi, not Carmina---the patio salutes you. And of course, Bandana-Man played it to camp perfection, including his snide comments to Damien ( and Dam--he's kinda, sorta got a point about driving the company to the ground. )
For that matter, they all should be chased down with pitch forks by the town denizens whose livelihoods depend on these businesses. None of them deserve to run these joints when this is all over. I say a worker revolt might be a nice way to end things. Do a PSA on the the problems with nepotism and unqualified, unconcerned figure-head leadership.
(he still hasn’t figured out that her milk is already in the bag; all he has to do is pick it up)
Elisa slaps Galls lips off, which is a shame because he has very pretty lips. (‘carnosos’ according to People Mag)
Loved: I’m a man! It’s what we do! (and Elisa’s response) He will never get a whiff of either one of them again.
Dam spreading the virus germs all over… LOL!
Don Lucio learns to cook during a product placement for oil. (actually it was Knorr chicken bouillon cubes LOL!)
An employee almost passes out at the office. You’re her boss. What should you do? Enrique takes her to the cantina to get her drunk. Oh come on, she was drinking Bailey’s Irish Crème in that jumbo coffee cup. I’m not stupid…. (and Carito) mentally congratulates herself for still being able to get a free meal out of a man at her age.
Gall is literally throwing a “Hail Mary” pass. (I found that scene sickening)
Seriously, can’t Ex-Padre wear the priest collar until we can get him a tie? That ascot is horrendous and I will not be able to concentrate on anything else until this has been resolved.
Paloma willing to accept partial blame unlike some people.
Are there any American Arangos? I would like to experience what it’s like to encounter one.
Gall doesn’t believe that Enrique slept with Paloma. When did you have sex? Once you go Arango, you retire!
Florencia is shocked that Enrique doesn’t believe that she’s changed her ways in two days.
“Back away, he’s crazy, but he won’t hit a pregnant chick!”
I did not get the point of the whole Carmina remembering the day Stefie died scene… Is this supposed to show Carmina does have a little bit of a soft spot for Elisa or that Alfonsina is supposed to be a worse witch than Carmina? … it was bizarre.
OT: FINALLY!! people mag made justice to Mark T in the photos they put out for him in a not-so-x-rated pose. HE looks great in tee-shirts and v-neck sweaters and finally they listened. Yeah William Levy wins sexy man of the yr again, but at least the others got decent pictures too. Btw they also had Ryan Lochte in the list, saying he does have Hispanics in his family tree.
5. He practically makes out with Dolores when they switch the apron. Dolores teaches him to cook a chicken soup. Like I have time for this. [BL: Did you notice she flashed us all a full frontal flesh-colored leotard while she was whipping off that apron and the amazingly non-ignited fringed shawl?]
4. Damien, who last week required antibiotics, removes his surgical masks so that he can spread his germs all over the room. He moves closer to his mother so that he can infect her with the ebola virus. [BL: Really, what is the point of a mask that you take off as soon as you get into the ICU? Was it just protecting him from Gabino's fleas?]
3. Between Enrique’s love life, Braulio trying to carry Dolores’ milk, Elisa getting kidnapped, Gall going crazy and Don Lucio’s Tostacho parties, Carito’s had to put in a lot of overtime. [BL: They should put her on the label.]
2. Where did Ramona go and can I go too? I am gonna throw up from all the tears. [BL: I think she sneaked over to the Dear Departed Table for a quick one.]
And last but not least:
1. Once you go Arango, you retire! [BL: TEE SHIRT TIME!]
"Witch Mountain SobFest 2012: Where did Ramona go and can I go too?"
I don't think poor Pal started off as the unfortunate character she has become but like daisynjay I shudder at her being a parent. Her obsession for Gall that she thinks is love is horrible and makes her one of the most irrational characters I've seen in a TN that is supposed to be on the side of good.
Gabi & Fina - I know Vivi was one of the people who made this call and I think Carlos was too. Hats off to you both and others who believed this is where Gabby's "heart" really was. (Sorry Cynderella but I don't think he has a heart.)
EJ - Now that little E has renounced both brothers what are your thoughts? Your discussion with NM about her this was funny. I was happy she realized she was being treated as an object by both; something her best friend has yet to understand about Gall.
Why do the writers continue to have Gall say such horrible things to Pal unless they are setting us up for his death? What miraculous event is supposed to happen to return him to the character we met at the start?
MY favorite recapper line is --- That ascot is horrendous and I will not be able to concentrate on anything else until this has been resolved LOL!!!
He is using that thing to cover up the bright white skin on his neck that the sun has not seen for decades, because he covered it with his priest collar. (I hope he doesn't think he's ready to enter Project Runway.)
The whole Gael/Elisa/Damian/Paloma Circle of Idiocy is like something from the eighth grade. Maybe Mrs. Clark's eight grade/middle school drama class wrote this thing?
My biggest LOL moment was Damian wearing the surgical mask through the doorway of his mother's room, and removing it as soon as he enters the room was LOL. Maybe he really wants her to die from an infection? Maybe the germs in the hallway are deadly and he is protecting himself out there?
I'm glad you figured out which product was being featured in that Lucio/Lolita scene. The bonfire under that skillet was all I could think about. I was waiting for the shawl fringe to catch fire.
Gabino was having a very bad hair day. Dude.
Carita got enough lines and face time that she'll probably be Quique's next love interest. He falls for needy women. Who don't really love him.
Enrique says that a gentleman doesn’t tell. Yep, at least Enrique has class.
I am so grateful for the recap. I thought Gabino inferred to Damian that Rosendo is his (Gabs') father. Gah…. I have a hard time understanding Gabs, sometimes.
Oh Lord, that is just vintage Cynderella. You say such wild crazy things. I love it.
Some other favorites:
"I wonder which Kravitz took the show on the road."
after the lame product placement "Like I have time for this!"
And clearly, everybody's favorite, perhaps for all-time
"Once you go Arango, you retire."
You are a wicked wicked funny lady, Cynderella. Please don't ever change.
Bwahahahaha!!!!!
This crazy story only gets more ridiculous with each episode.
Ever since the regulars here clued the rest of us clueless folks out here that many of these TNs are PSAs, I've been trying to figure out the PSAs in this nonsense, but when I look at these goofy people, what positive thing can you even say about them?!
Paloma and Elisa have to be two of the dumbest broads I have ever seen. Paloma is BEYOND pathetic and Gael is right up there with her.
So, someone clue the clueless in and tell us what PSAs you are seeing here.
Thanks again, Cynderella...this was just great!
Yes, I was one of the early ones to say that Gab's ultimate prize was Alfie, not Carmina. Glad to see that the writers remembered to follow that thread. They seem to have forgotten everything else about the rest of our cast's characters. Character development in this tn has been non-existant or negative/regressive.
These were my favorite lines today:
- "sexiest white muumuu in her closet"
- "As if I have time for this"
- "Where did Ramona go and can I go too?"
- "He must have given himself the Rocky pep talk along the way because his chest is puffed up."
Somehow this is the first day I realized the receptionist is Coni from Cuando. As if I need her mature woman's darling shape thrown in my face. It's fun to laugh about Elisa's fake boobs and Flor's WaspWaist, but Carito has such a magnificent shape and looked so good on MQB. Why do I like her so much?
I think Cap'n is right about her being a good match for the Doc. I don't want to watch her fall for Enrique. Been there, done that. Chema.
Karmageddon sounds fun! Too bad we can't place bets on outcomes like they do on Intrade.com.
Thanks again Cynderella, our official weekend party hostess.

I really have a hard time believing Gabino would have the hots for Alfonsina. She looks old enough to be his mother, and she's not even hot looking. I don't buy it.
And what Cynderella said is so true. Gab and Damian are supposed to be a generation apart, but they sure don't look it.
And what Cynderella said is so true. Gab and Damian are supposed to be a generation apart, but they sure don't look it.
That might be because David Zepeda (Damián) is 38 and Salvador Zerboni (Gabino) is 33? LOL!
Between Enrique’s love life, Braulio trying to carry Dolores’ milk, Elisa getting kidnapped, Gall going crazy and Don Lucio’s Tostacho parties, she’s had to put in a lot of overtime. She’s heard of “my girl Friday”, but this is ridiculous!
OMG, LOL FUNNY! Don Lucio's Tostacho parties!!! And doncha just bet the sponsors were like "OK, fine if Lolita does the cooking, but we want Don Lucio in the product placement ad!" They're smart enough to know he's the only character all their customers still like.
DaisynJay: Quique needs a qik in the a**! HAHAHAHAHA! I so totally agree (but get in line behind everyone else who deserves one).
I particularly liked how you tapped into Eliar's self righteous indignation over Gall doing Pal wrong when she, herself started this whole chain of events into motion. I meant to comment the other day when Pal confessed to Elisa and Elisa said "You're not the only one to blame!" I was waiting for Elisa to say "I'm equally to blame for (stealing the love of your life, sending mixed messages, being an egocentric beyotch) whatever but instead she said, in true Elisa style: "GAEL is also to blame!" She conveniently left herself off the blame list.
Anyway, your recaps are just too much fun. I don't know what we're going to do in a few short weeks when we don't get our funny Saturday fix!
Thanks again, Cynderella!
Katy
Thanks for the hilarious recap. I hope you get some Arango Americano soon. = : )
When Gael was in the church praying, I kind of felt bad for God. Can you imagine having to listen to that kind of crap day in, day out?
Cynderella is a wonderful weekend party hostess. Katy, we'll have to draft her for the next telenovela's Friday night episodes. ;o)
Yes he was hilarious in high camp making out with the comatose Alfonsina. But remember his reason is impaired: he has a bullet in his brain!
As for Lupe's ex-priest outfit, I would go with red trousers and a yellow shirt.
Cynderella, first of all, I love the moniker Gall for our Gael. I know you have been using it for weeks, but I've never thanked you for the word association.....Gael is Gall and so is his sure fire bride-to-be, Señora Gall---Paloma! Where is their introspection? Has either one had even ONE unselfish thought? NO! They are galling! Gall= gallbladder=bile= gall stones= PAIN (OK, I'm taking the gall analogy too far, but I feel like blowing off some of my Abismo steam!) Cynderella, you don't post a lot, so I think you must be busy with real life, thanks for all the hysterically funny interpretations of our beloved Passion Pit, you are a joy!
Karen, "I don't think poor Pal started off as the unfortunate character she has become but like daisynjay I shudder at her being a parent. Her obsession for Gall that she thinks is love is horrible and makes her one of the most irrational characters I've seen in a TN that is supposed to be on the side of good." Yes, I agree!
I am very worried about Padre Lupe.....the priesthood is his life. His ecclesiastical jefe (title?) ) is a real hard nose, our writers are hard noses as well, where are they taking his character? Will he be at the (stoopid) bodas al fin?
let's see...
Eliar... well, as long as she covers up her boobies and gives away her booties to charity, she will be doing a good thing. Emotionally she is a disaster, she better start including her in the blame game of the disaster her life has become...
Paloma... well, she is not thinking about getting rid of the baby... (does that count as a good thing?)
Gall (evil twin brother has no virtues... NONE!!!)... Mi Gael, on the other hand, if he ever comes back, well, he is salvageable if he will take care of evil twin's seedling.
Damian... he cares about his mother to the point of forgiving all her 'faults'. (would look as a good thing at least to Lupe, I guess... to me i believe in the 'there is a limit')
Gabino ... i count the bullet in his head as a 'good thing'.
Padre Loopy... he saved the life of his nephew, even at the cost of his 'calling'. (I think it is a good thing, at least he has no more excuse to keep telling others to keep quiet about the secrets of confession)
Lucio (if he keeps giving the tostacho parties, he is good in my book, but he better invite us to the next one)
Alfie (maybe in the open heart surgery they reprogrammed hers ... crossing fingers)
Tangel-Ho (not sure we should bother looking for any good coming from her)
Kike ... well, yes, he means to do a good thing by marrying a 'lady in distress'... but he better stop trying to be everyone else's hero and save his own future...
Flo... lately she certainly is learning how to be a good friend. not sure if that will save her.
Ramona ... i will say good things about her when she FINALLY SPILLS SOME BEANS AND HERBAL CONCOCTIONS ALL OVER TOWN!!!
Enrique (admits he keeps falling for unattainable women)
Florencia (knows she was wrong for conspiracy to babynapping, tricking Damian etc)
and
Sabrina (knows she needs to get out of La Ermita & find herself, instead of hanging around becoming one of Begona's mean girls
The other 4 have done NO introspection at all:
DAMIAN set the whole Florencia chain into motion by not being upfront & honest with Florencia from the get-go, that he had fallen in love with another woman and no longer wanted to marry her. Instead he was passive aggressive, cold etc. which led Florencia to become more & more clingy & manipulative, hungering for attention. That's why she fell under Enrique's spell to begin with...Enrique was paying attention to her, Damian was not.
Damian continued to have sex with Florencia even though he didn't love her, just using her as a warm body to release his animal instincts with. If Damian had not had sex with Florencia to begin with, Flor could not have tricked Damian with a fake pregnancy! (especially the 2nd time)
Florencia has to own up to her part in this mess too. She should have stayed in Mexico City the first time she went back, and she should not have presented herself to Damian like a Scooby Snack. But DAMIAN was the one who asked her to marry him both times.
Florencia also should apologize to Elisa for her poor, crappy behavior to her and the things she's said about Elisa's mother, although I think she's trying to make amends by freeing Damian to be with Elisa & tag-teaming Alfonsina with Elisa.
Also I think he's justifying treating people like crap on his rough life:
Damian didn't have anything to do with you being denied your father...you are OLDER than Damian. How could he deny you something when he wasn't even born yet?
Hey Elisa, I cheated on you with your BFF, so, when are we getting married? Say what?
Paloma, you're a cheap trick and will never compare to Elisa but even though I think you're a silly ho, I don't want you creeping around with Enrique who actually wants to marry you.
So Gall needs to have a seat. He's being incredibly self centered (well he comes by it honestly) and needs to start thinking of OTHERS instead of himself.
Everything has to be about Elisa. Well why not when everyone on the show except Gabino & Chente make it all about Elisa? Everytime she cries, Lucio, Paloma & Lolita are there to sop up her tears. Alfonsina & Carmina are there to make all their failings in life about Elisa. Gael & Damian are fighting for Elisa. Ramona haunts the graveyard & Witch Mountain worrying about Elisa. The Tovar family had/had Elisa's name in their mouth for breakfast, lunch & dinner.
Stop playing games: She set this whole Damian/Gael situation into motion by:
1) not telling Damian from the get go that unless/until he's finished with Florencia, to lose her number;
2) not staying in Merida to marry civilly instead of coming back to La Ermita;
3) Not selling Estefania's pearl necklace* to bail Augusto out of jail like he told her to do, but promising to stay away from Damian in exchange for Alfie dropping the charges (but not telling Damian about Alfie's blackmail);
4) Believing Carmina's lie about she & Damian being siblings instead of hauling ass back to Merida to get a DNA test;
5) Promising Damian she would be his wife, making the boy kiss Augusto's azz for her hand in marriage knowing that she was running off with Augusto;
6) Not telling Damian that they were NOT siblings;
7) Getting huffy that Damian fell into Florencia's arms after not telling him they weren't siblings;
8) Again not telling Damian to lose her number until he was finished with Florencia, but making plans to run off & marry;
9) Not wanting to be alone, & possibly wanting to hurt Damian, suggests she & Gael marry, knowing she just wasn't into Gael & that Paloma had just broken up with Gael;
10) Stringing Gael along while making googly eyes at Damian;
11) Willingly running off with Damian in the middle of her wedding (knowing this would devastate Gael). If Elisa REALLY wanted to marry Gael, Damian wouldn't have snatched her or hurt her.
12) Telling Damian what he heard was true, she was the town ho, just like her momma robbing men left & right and implied Gael knew how to put it down
13) Wanting to run back & explain herself to Gael after sexy times with Damian
14) When Damian demands to know her feelings, plays the "You should read my mind and already know game."
15) Instead of being honest about how she feels with Damian, plays the "you should know" game with him some more but is honest with Gael.
Elisa set this chain into motion with her game playing, but she's too self centered to realize that.
BS!
Paloma presented herself to Gael as a Scooby Snack because she knows, he knows, Ramona knows, Viewerville knows that's the only way Gael will pay attention to her. Paloma knew he was engaged to Elisa. She knew what she was doing was wrong. She claims not to be sorry yet is constantly in tears and says she doesn't want Gael to know about the baby.
Is it that she doesn't want Gael to find out? Or that she'll find out Gael won't care if he does find out?
ITA on your last line about Paloma and why she is trying to keep her baby bump a secret on Gael...
Marta, Anon207 is POSITIVE about Dam, Elisa, Gall and Paloma, lol! ITA with you about Ramona. She's gotten POSITIVELY nasty to Paloma lately. Not that she's not telling the truth, but why not tell the truth about something that actually matters. Ramona, we don't care what you think about Paloma's morals, we care what you know about Rosendo and Estefania! Sheesh lady.
Gall-y, Sandy! Loved the Gall rant. Lol
Anon207, I hope they hear you in La Ermita and change their ways immediately. Could you also please get them to get rid of the ascot?
