Abismo de pasión #146 10/10/12: maybe we should skip the honeymoon altogether, he's not that into ANYTHING....except fighting DamHotInYellow
Labels: abismo
I swear if I were Paloma, I would have push that darn Gael off the balcony. What a jerk! How can he ruin her happiness?
OMG, I don't know if I can watch Loopy get stabbed to death. He is my very favorite.
Rosemary Primera
Rosemary P, I could have kicked Gael in his wee banana bunch tonight. I get how he might not be in the mood, but did he have to be a complete buzz kill? Like you said...jerk!!
I had a chuckle when, at the wedding, Lucio called Gael a blockhead and Elisa stood behind Gael nodding vehemently. Not that she is one to talk but it was still funny.
Braulio and Lolita, oh thank you telenovela gods.
Carmina with a big knife...ack!! I hate that she visits Guadalupe. Can't we please keep him alive and humming now that he is hitting his stride? Does Ramona have an amulet for that?
Thanks again Marta. Your recaps are such a joy to read.
Thanks for a fast recap of a mostly filler episode. I love how you always catch every detail!
I am so sorry about the avances and what they imply. Rosemary, Lupe is my favorite, too. I CANNOT stand how he said goodbye to Gael.
Now lately Gael is a total jerk, but honest to goodness, Fluffy and the monkeys have a special grudge against Plaid-Boy. If they kill off Lupe, Gael has really been stripped of his family in the worst way. Carmina is responsible for sister Kenia's death, Gabino for bad-mommy Ingrid's; we can only guess which of them will go after Lupe. Ay Caray!
Thanks again, Marta. I was out all day today and couldn't join you all in commenting on NM's recap but tomorrow I hope to commiserate with the folks on the board.
Does anybody know if we pre-empted on Thursday or Friday or Tuesday next?
EJ
In all honesty, I expected Gael to be a bigger jerk to Paloma on the 'wedding night' than he actually was. Considering he only married her out of duty and barely likes her, there wasn't going to be any rolling in the hay anyway.
Horacio wanted to carry Lolita's milk, but Braulio undid her braids. Vaya!
I'm worried about Civilian Lupe going to the cemetery and Carmeany with that butcher knife in her purse.
How does one go back to sleep, knowing someone has entered your house and you're ... home alone? Carmina has nerves of steel.
According to the Spanish captions, after Doc Tovar asked Carita when was her last chemotherapy, he told her that he examined her and could tell she'd had a "vasectomía". Oooo - that was a doozy. I mean, not only was the, um, gender wrong, but a visual exam would never reveal a vasectomy either. No wonder Carita slapped Doc Tovar! LOL!
I still can't believe they made that caption error, LOL! Should have been "mastectomía". Someone was asleep at the switch!
Thanks much Marta!
LOL!!! Audrey, indeed a doozy!!! i usually don't have captions on so i dont get those ... thanks for noting it!
there was a WHOLE LOT of kids/mothers/etc background noise (the type of noise you find in a hotel or residential community pool)... either the people and kids on the street are REALLY LOUD or they are flying around them!! LOL!! Either that or next to the penthouse there is a pool open 24 hours!!
FINALLY is right. Can I say that after 146 episodes, we fnally got a romantic moment to watch where it was actually toe-curling romantic. Braulio should hold a seminar with the young jerks in town in "how it is done boys".
As for the honeymoon, what can be said. Delusional is getting her bubble burst and maybe that's sad to see, but honestly, she had to know this going in. Gael may be a jerk, but I'm just as tired of watching Pal believing that if she pushes hard enough suddenly the birds will be chirping and hearts will appear all around them. Go home and go commiserate with Alfi. She'll be able to tell you all about loveless marriages.
Wrong that I was furious with Elisa at the cemetery. yeah, sweetie, someone ELSE thought of doing this for your mother. Gift for you??? You should have done this as a gift for HER. Someone slap her.
So we had the whole Carmina walking through the empty house just so we can understand how she gets the knife in the purse. Way to drag things out.
And our Padre. Oh my...that farewell with Gael was just that. The last hug, I choked up a bit. Gael is so not going to like he was gone when things happen. Those previews, the Padre looks like an angel already. Sigh....
Those previews, the Padre looks like an angel already. Sigh....
AMEN to that amiga!! and yes he said goodbye to Gael and also had a great moving scene with Alfie, rare moment of Alfie to expose her positive feelings for her brother.
This could be the time for Horacio to come out from behind the tree and save Ex-Padre from Carmina's knife.
The show is on tonight, not tomorrow.
R la O
Favorite lines:
- Gael keeps playing role of happy bunny
- "...now you are married and I am single. So I am going after the half eaten candy bar you left behind."
- Dam is taking too long (as if he were 5 years old and went to town alone)
...and the all-around winner:
- Gab offers to make Elisa stop breathing.. (and stop crying too?? That does not sound THAT bad)
I also noticed that Gael did not open the car door for his bride, so thanks for mentioning it. Jerk! Yes, the kids in the pool were playing Marco Polo. I could hear them shouting that.
Carmina with a knife meeting Lupe who's all dressed in white is not a good thing. Perhaps this death will be what brings good Gael back. Gael now has the will that Lupe gave him but he still hasn't opened it. Did he ever open the present him mom gave him for the wedding? We still have no idea what was in that box. These people's lack of curiousity, especially Gael's is maddening! Missing sister, missing mother, mysterious box, mysterious envelope...hey, I wonder what Elisa is up to? That's way more important.
Sheesh. I don't even have a greeting card for that.
Truly this TN has passed the pathetic stage. I agree with Daisynjay that Paloma knew she was marrying a man who didn't love her and she's getting what everyone expected but her.
When they were saying the goodbyes, I was thinking the anvil was hanging over Gael and/or Paloma. If Gael were to die, that would free up Paloma to marry Enrique again, and take the heavy weight off Dam and Elisa.
I laughed when Alfie said she wasn't worried about Gabino. Was she pretending to be asleep when he was kissing on her in the hospital?
I don't care for Alfie, but I'm so glad she was loving to Lupe and said that he'll always have a home with her, that was beautiful. If he dies, and it looks like he might, maybe this will knock some thoughtful kindness into her personality, (probably impossible!) she does love her brother. If she can't change, Dam and Elisa will have to move, or she will have to "disappear," she will never give them peace.
Wouldn't 99 point 99% percent of men have sex with a beautiful young wife in those circumstances, like her on not, in a honeymoon room in Cancun? The only thing I can say is that there is some cosmic justice that Paloma and Gael "have each other!" The poor baby though....
OT, I don't know how anyone is posting from a phone, it is nearly impossible on mine. Our Caray upgrade or change is another electronic "improvement," like all new kitchen appliances, that makes them worse!! Baaa Humbug!!
And have I mentioned the exasperating absurdity of, "I lied to that guy I keep saying I love more than life itself about bonking his brother and he believed me and now he won't believe me when I say I lied and it's all his fault and WAAAAAAAH!!!"
Sheesh. I don't even have a greeting card for that.
------
Blue Lass - I bet if you put your clever mind to it, you'd come up with an excellent sympathy card for hopeless Elisa's idiotic logic.
But don't forget her insistence that Damián should be able to clearly "read" her caresses and thus decipher the actual truth. She's just as outraged over his failure to do that.
Um, caresses over actual spoken words, hmmm.....
Has anyone ever asked --- 'Donde Está Ingrid?'
If Elisa had bought the tombstone for her mother, she would not be able to play victim over that issue. Instead, she issues bonus checks to everyone and who knows what she did with her share. What a twit.
Counting the daze until the POR FIN.
When I read a recap on my iPhone, I see all the names of our regular 'members' or 'posters' or whatever, but mine never shows up.
--- On the regular computer, no list of names appear anywhere.
Alternatively, I do not see the big banner/header Caray!Caray! that I see on a regular computer.
So much for upgrades. Like Sandy said, as good as upgrades for appliances, like the new-fangled comptuers that bake a/k/a ovens. They all have 'self-clean' but you do not dare use that feature for risk of the heat frying the electronics. GAH!!!
And if Lupe dies, will Gael look at the envelop that Lupe gave him?
I think the "monkeys" have a lot of jobs around the world!!!!!
As with the one for LQNPA this will be posted daily until five episodes before the finale date. You need a Google account and a unique identity to vote so there will be no stuffing of the ballot boxes. You can change your vote any time up till the last day.

Is Lolita preggers now? We KNOW Elisa is.......
How can Carmina sell it if she's not the sole owner?
Gael took Paloma to the CGI Best Western.
I can't feel sorry for Paloma because she knows Gael doesn't want, respect or even like her. If Elisa flashed her boob at Gael he'd leave Paloma faster than you can say "cenote."
Anon207, I don’t feel sorry for Paloma either. She is an aggressive, manipulative and very selfish young woman.
He could have fun times with Paloma before because he felt he could have sex with her and toss her to the side. But now he resents her for making him have sex with her and making him get her pregnant.
He actually blamed FLORENCIA for why he had to have sex with Paloma!
(Gael)

It is ALL Everyone else's fault, not his!! they should have let him MARRY ELISA, who cares if she is madly in love with my own brother, whom i despise just because Elisa loves him and not me... and because my dad never knew i existed...
so it is all Florencia and Damian's fault... how about putting some of the blame on Elisa herself?? she DID NOT HAVE TO go with Damian, and like she said herself, she DID NOT HAVE TO STAY at the beach with Damian...
Florencia only set Damian free, something he, Gael, has not had the guts/co___es to do himself with Elisa... he is such a jerk and sore loser... i want 'Mi Gael' back so badly... Take this jerk back to the factory and stamp him as 'DEFECTIVE'. missing some parts related to feelings, and sensitivity, they used selfishness stucko instead of those.
Blue - you really are Queen of the Quip!
I wonder if Alfi will ever truly like Elisa?
BTW, I suspect that the reason some of you aren't appearing on the "contributors" list (whatever that is) is that you haven't had posting privileges, i.e. even if you recap, someone else posts it for you. But what do I know? I don't even have a "smart" phone and the one I have isn't speaking to me.
Oh YES! ...and therein lies your card for Gael, Blue Lass. Please, have Hoops and YoYo deliver the message to him.
I don't think that even the Theatre of the Absurd would claim this ridiculously stupid novela.
Gael and Paloma make me sick. Paloma has now become a caricature of herself. Gael looks downright ugly to me even if he did finally get the haircut he needed a long time ago.
I will believe up until the very last minute that The Simians will not kill of my wonderful Guadalupe/Rene Casados. That would be the final insult to all of us.
You gotta believe.
Thanx.

Can y'all see that I am stuck home and bored???
Sandy, is Lolita preggers? Yes yes yes! I love the romance between Lolita and Brau and totally agree with y'all that these two bring it home. I got all tingly during their scenes.
R la O, will Alfie ever truly like Elisa? It's hard to fathom because she has practically made it her life's mission to hate all the Bouviers. If hate for someone defines you, what's left of you if the hate is gone? Not everyone can do a complete makeover.
Smart Phones - I have a Droid and don't really have problems posting and reading recaps (even though it's a huge pain in the patoot). But I don't think I have ever seen a list of contributors. Or maybe I'm just not looking.
Doris, I like the yellow "fashion" bandana. The solid one looks too much like a "Q" flag. I'm for sure going to have to pick one up for the party even though it doesn't go with anything I own.
Blue Lass, let me know when your greeting cards go on sale. Will you have a "Get Well Soon" card for ladies recovering from a vasectomia?
Another perfect recap! I particularly liked the title (DamHot in Yellow) and the half eaten candy bar reference! And the part Blue mentioned about the "How bout crying?"
Cap'n: "Kick him in the wee banana bunch"! you ladies are SO. FUNNY!!!
I was incensed that Gael didn't open Paloma's door. He begged her to marry him for their baby then he treats her like trash all night. And I didn't get a chance to ask yesterday but did he actually hit on Elisa at the wedding? What did he ask her? What a lowlife.
What about if Ingrid isn't really dead and she's messing with Carmina by breaking the glass in the kitchen?! I'm usually wrong about my wild guesses but it did seem like someone was in the house and who is left (unless the monkeys start using ghosts of dead characters) to haunt her? I would LOVE a little Ingrid payback for ol' Carmeany.
I also think its foretelling that Padre Lupe gave Gael that file and said don't open without me. We know that Alphie's secret won't die with the padre.
Lastly, a beanie moment for me is the fact that Carita can buy a hacienda without telling them who her employer is?! Wow. Isn't that pretty much the first thing, after name, that goes on the loan app?!
Great recap, Marta! Thank you!
Katy
Thanks for the superb recap and all the comments. Hate to admit that I own a yellow bandana. Oh, the shame!
I loved the comment,"Maybe Ramona has an amulet for that." Could become our mantra.
Emilia, Blue... i want to buy a dozen of those tee's for 'Does Ramona have an amulet for that?'
I don't hold out much thinking II might rise from the grave, but could Horacio be our "drive Carmina nuts" in the night guy? I have expect to hear him be whispering eerily "I know what you did". Actually that would be fun...
Blue Lass, I found this card in AbisMart -- it had fallen behind the display shelf but I happened upon it when a flash of its banana yellow envelope caught my eye:
For the maiden who cried wolf -- or --
A flower cannot be unplucked
So sorry he doesn't believe you
But some bells cannot be unrung
Now your lie is what he thinks is true
And your truth has the value of dung.
Once you told him he wasn't your first love
The image was etched in his brain
Now you're telling him you were just kidding?
You were mad and just yanking his chain?
It's as if you had asked him to tell you
If your pink hot pants made you look fat
And he answered "well yeah" without thinking.
Would you ever forgive him for that?
One more thing you might want to consider
Before wasting more breath on Dam Slow --
If he couldn't tell he was your first love,
Does he really deserve now to know?
I read up a little on Amores Verdaderos and there seem to be a plethora of bodyguards. I kinda like the idea.
Our deepest sympathies to you
On the occasion of your prevarication being accepted as true;
(Turn the page)
Is there anything sadder than being believed?
With Love,
Caray, Caray
Of the many things I find unappealing in our protagonista, Elisa, the most annoying is her tendency to lie at the first sign of stress. I think all those years of living with toxic Carmina and indifferent, resentful Augusto were a great training ground for learning to dissemble, lie and manipulate with the best of them.
I sympathize with how the character became this way, but that doesn't make me like her.
In real life, I can only imagine a kid growing up in such a dreadful environment becoming a master of manipulation and not having a clue as to what they really feel. Shudder.
EJ
When Damian beetles his brow
and places his face in a scowl,
His lips purse and quiver.
I realize with a shiver
There are none he so resembles
(I must admit and not dissemble)
As Fluffy our Alpha Primate!
How tragic! He has such a Fate.
EJ
Too witty for words!
Katy
*poetaster: n. A writer of insignificant, meretricious, or shoddy poetry. [from Latin poeta, poet + -aster, pejorative suffix]
Oh boy, I just looked it up and you can say it in Spanish too: m. poestastro. jejejejeje
So just how difficult would it have been for Gael to make Paloma's wedding night a real night to remember? Jerk.
Oh my... Lupe's white suit... he might as well be wearing a sign:
KILL ME NOW
Well, white suit + huge butcher knife... should be colorful and visually striking.
Yikes!
Loving the comments today.
Carlos
I love this word! I am filing a claim to share space on 'poestastro' right now.
...So much more elegant than just calling oneself a 'hack'.
EJ
poetastro (not poestastro). And I am happy to share though not convinced that you fit the definition.
Carlos:
Let's not forget the velador in gray. Action, Horacio, action!
And wasn't Don Lucio the hot grampa at the boda? He looked dashing in that black-on-black jacket and striped tie. I noticed he's still wearing his wedding ring, though -- no wonder poor Maru can't make any time.
My favorite part was the way everyone kept reminding the newlyweds to drive oh-so-carefully, then sent them off with a pile of flowers the size of a roast pig strapped to the hood of the truck....
About last night's episode, I gotta say Gael is like the worst groom ever! I don't get why he refused to have a wedding night when technically he already "gave himself" to Paloma. So to me it wouldn't make a difference if he still thinks he wants to have that with Elisa. He didn't get it through his head that Elisa willing gave herself to Damian.
I fear that tonight viewerville will bid adieu and RIP to Lupe.
--TF
Emilia, what a funny story about Mike's two abortions. Good grief.
