Caray, Caray!

HILARIOUS, Sylvia! Thanks for starting off my morning! I'll be back later with favorites...although it will be hard to choose.
 

Can I have more than 5? We're almost done...
 

Slyvia, sharp, sly and sublime. Count "the cavalcade of inspirational visitors", "blue-eyed crazies" and of course "where she can gasp unencumbered by pesky lifesaving equipment" among my favorites. I laughed loudly at "What happened to the agreeable little suckup who wanted to work at the Proce?" Excellent...

Although missing (and wishing for) Dr. Colunga's sure fire cure for snake bites, Dr. Ramona stepped in with equally amazing results. Let's hope saving Elisa's life wasn't her last act here on earth...

Some unexpected events were surprising and riveting. I was on the edge of my seat with worry for Chente and Paloma. I'm sorry but I have to admit that Chente was so hurt and pathetic, I've forgiven him. Even sadder, I've forgiven Paloma for her endless sniveling and snuffling. Here's my question: Is Gabino capable of killing his children? I can't believe he would be so heinous but how can he let them escape after they heard some (but not all) of the horrible truths? Is he playing the father card to bide more time in hopes they won't tell or was that a last confession before he kills them?

Carmina, get your gun. Well, looks like she did. Now who is she going to get??

Another great Friday thanks to you Sylvia...

Diana
 

Great stuff, Sylvia. A huge pitcher of sangria to you!

Of course this scene was mandatory or nobody would ever find out who killed who in La Ermita.

Paloma should just have run for it after dropping that stuff on the floor. Gabino and Chente deserve each other. Anyone stupid enough to choose Gabino over Braulio for a father deserves a Darwin Award.

I was going to suggest that Gabino and Carmina kill each other, but he deserves that migraine for the rest of his natural life and she deserves to be locked up somewhere where the other prisoners really let her have it.

Alfonsina's about face is not believable and it's not Blanca Guerra's fault.
 

I think I figured out a way to get in all my favorites:

First, the title: Día de Los Culpables, jajajá. That’s a keeper.

Second, everything about the Silencing of Elisa.

Third, everything about the Whining of Paloma.

Fourth, everything about the Non-Disrobing of Damián.

Fifth, everything about the aphrodisiac effects of murder & mayhem.

Well, that’s not EVERYTHING everything, but it will have to do. ;}

 

Cap'n, you had me from the title!! dia de los culpables right after 'dia de los muertos'... awesome!!
then more favs... and i won't bother trying to keep it to 5...

Oh thank God, it’s Doc Tovar’s clinic. There’s hope for Elisa yet. (LOL!!)

Gael and Paloma arrive with their suitcases, lol!! I wasn’t expecting that. What are those two scamps up to now? Gael says he’s come to claim what is his, what Alfie deliberately stole from him. She supposes Lupe showed him the will. (Ya think?) (yeah that got me too… )

I have to say, even though Gael’s claiming his part of the Arango pie was a surprise, it is understandable… but Paloma is also right… just when they were getting their feelings and home lined up straight, he throws this huge curve ball at her…

‘Paloma keeps griping. She always has something to complain about, I’m so sick of her.’ … yup… looking at it from this angle she could be a bit more supportive, clearly.

Dam, did you know you married Lolita too? (ROFLOL!!! So true! Esp when Braulio has put distance again on her own request since HOracio is alive)

Loved your comments about the patio reactions to the scene when DrT tells Dam Elisa has to be put on a respirator and is not out of the woods.

Your descriptions are dead on!! ‘Elisa: blessedly silent; Lolita, joining the waterworks, Dam: failing at SkaneBite cure 101, Paloma: the terminal wet blanket/drama queen…

Loved your Alfie outlook: ‘Alfie, once again proving grinches do have hearts, says she has things to resolve with Elisa, the poor girl has led such a punished life. So there is her guilt thing, plus Dam will probably kill himself, leaving Gael who will likely kick her to the curb. Elisa can’t die!’

Hold me back, I really want to slap Paloma. (well, in her slight defense, she walked in just as Gael was kissing Elisa on the forehead so she just interpreted that ‘view’ the worst way possible… like you said, typical of a terminal wet blanket, which Alfie knows how to act like so well too… good thing Alfie is now thinking with all her brain gears going instead, we could not handle two wet blankets going at it at the same time)

Lucio doesn’t agree with this plan because he still has a brain. (I am so proud of the padrino in here… he has always thought straight except the hours following his wife’s death… that’s it… otherwise he has been smart as they come for his age)

Paloma following Chente to the blue house… yeah I agree, she ain’t right.

So now Paloma knows about Carmina killing Loopy, Augie and Kenya and Gabino killing / burying Ingrid and being involved in Ninas death. And their intention to kill Chente. Now Paloma has a huge anvil on her head.

Wow, talk about instant gratification! I don’t know if it was the herbs Elisa drank or the herbs Ramona was smoking but it must have been strong stuff. (ROFLOL!!! Perfect description!)

Get a straw dude. (ROFLOL!!)

 

Now that Braulio has socked Chente, though, you know they can't kill him off, because then Brau will feel guilty. More's the pity.
 

there must be something going in LaErmita waterworks... first we have two 'magic' unexplained about faces on Gael and Alfonsina...
then we have the villains reciting their crimes (both to second-hand victims and when they believe they are in private) as if they were trophy auctions...
and these recited truths are even revealing other side secrets around to the young innocent victims of sex crimes committed by the baby boom generation
 

Meanwhile, nobody even suspects Guido was murdered, nobody cares who killed Paolo, and everybody's forgotten all about poor old Sra. Beltrán...
 

are you serious?? Elisa says 'i am beginning to see blurry' just two seconds after being bit by the snake? is the effect THAT quick?? i doubt it.
 

unless this is Elisa's brain on sand acting to the realization she got bit by a dangerous poisonous snake so her head is already toying with her...
 

Neurotoxic venoms really are that quick, Marta -- and tunnel vision is one of the first symptoms. (I used to work in a zoo.)
 

Blue, good point! i doubt anyone will say anything to close the hole about Guido's murder... maybe not even about Paolo's murder. Sra Beltran? well, Gabino made it look like a heart attack unless Alfie says that Gabino had no resources to buy that hacienda and they open a detailed investigation.
 

Horacio would not know about Paolo or Sra Beltran since he was away.
 

I agree that Paloma looks great in yellow.
 

Cap'n Sylvia - Great recap! Great snark! Thank you. I have watched part of this, and now know which parts through which to FFWD->.

Oh. Good. Lord. They unhooked Elisa from the respirator and dragged her home? What were they thinking??? A twisted PSA by Telerisa on the benefits of herbal cures?????
 

Maybe they needed to get her out of there before Super-Tovar gave her a liver transplant, an appendectomy, and a sex change.
 

Oh, Sylvia, you have been a treasure throughout this TN, but I just loved your take on this episode, especially the Paloma asides.

(and yeah, she may look good in yellow, but if I was Gael, I'd start questioning that baby coming. Give us a bone here that this girl is even eating for two.)

Our thanks for Braulio for doing what the entire patio wanted to do. Kind of make sense now that he and Pal have come from the same sperm donor. Can they both just fade out into the sunset??

So, my guess is Gael takes over Arango, Dam will move into Elisa's place and all will be well with the world. I can't see Elisa giving up that place, unless she gives it to Lola and Brau for patience served. Then Arango can be like Dallas with everyone living in the same house. Remind me again? which of these two is older? But I give it to Gael, he seems to have the Rosendo business sense and nerve to get things done.
 

No one in La Ermita would question Senora Beltran's disappearance since it was known she was selling her hacienda and moving away. The only way her death would be discovered is if:

a) somebody in her new town questioned why she hadn't show up yet;

b) the new owner of the hacienda starts digging a new garden & discovers her.

No one is going to question Guido's death unless somebody says "Hmm, lets review Guido's death." Dr. Tovar is already on the record that Guido slipped & bumped his head in the shower...plus even if it is discovered Guido was killed, they can't bring anyone to justice b/c his killer is also dead.

Kenia's death would've also gone unsolved if Paloma & Chente hadn't heard Carmina & Gabino talking about it. And one of the three (Chente, Paloma, Horacio) is going to have to tell somebody about Ingrid being buried at the blue house so the mystery of the plane tickets can finally be resolved.

There's actually no excuse for why Augusto's death was classified as a suicide instead of a homicide ...I don't see how he could have shot himself in the chest with that shotgun and a gunpowder residue test on Augusto would have proven that.

I was kind of hoping we'd see ghost Augusto & ghost Estefania together, smiling proudly at their daughter Elisa & her new family.

One other note...Augusto gave Damian his blessing to marry Elisa the day he died...nobody except Damian knows that and I thought for sure he would have told Carmina that when she showed up talking about some "Augusto would be rolling in his grave to know that Elisa married Damian" mess.
 

You've gotta be one tired girl today, Sylvia. What an episode!
My faves:
-"Orange-Brown Recluse confronts the Black Widow" and "blue-eyed crazies". Dam, I am going to miss our nicknames!
-"You failed Snakebite Cure 101 by refusing to take your shirt off"
-"Horacio makes out with Lolita's picture"
-"the herbs Ramona was smoking"
Thank you, thank you!

I've been away a couple of days and bet this has already been discussed, but I guess we can assume (especially after watching LQNPA) that Elisa is not preggo as the snakebite would have caused a TN miscarriage.

Now that Gael seems somewhat over Elisa, I guess we can sadly assume there will be NO bare chested arm wrestling, not the one with workers encircling them, nor the one with just Horacio cheering them on. Drats.
 

Gael is older than Damian; Alfonsina had problems conceiving, then Ingrid shows up pregnant with Gael. After Alfie paid Ingrid to go away, she got pregnant with Damian.

If Alfie weren't pregnant/mother to Damian and Rosendo found out Ingrid was carrying his child, he likely would have dumped Alfonsina to give his child (Gael) legitimacy.






 

Great recap, Sylvia, you had me cracking up from start to finish and I agree that Paloma "looks stunning in yellow."

A few words about the snake bite:

That was not a coral snake... it was a scarlet king snake"...probably the same snake from LQNPA (I wonder if he is cheaper to hire than our favorite rat family?)

The snake bite was impossibly quick. Coral snakes don't have viper fangs and have to chew on their victims in order to infiltrate the venom. Also they are very timid and not aggressive.

Sorry Blue Lass, while you are correct about neurotoxins in general, Marta's take is correct. Coral snake bites take awhile, probably in great part because they are always very superficial thus taking awhile for the venom to go systemic. The venom itself is extremely deadly.

My first thought last night... CALL DR RAMONA! Too bad she wasn't available for Ana Paula (LQNPA).

Drinks are on me again at the Alfonsina table... I think I'm in love.

Carlos
 

Good morning everyone and thank you for your fun comments. For me the big story from last night was Paloma and Chente. There was that whole telenovela "call of the blood" thing going on which is why Paloma couldn't seem to tear herself away from her half sibling, even though it seemed ridiculous at the time.

Diana, you asked the very pertinent question, could Gabino kill his children? Dunno. He acts like he could. These telenovelas, like the classics, have an unfortunate history of mothers doing terrible things to their children, but we don't see evil child-killing fathers as much. (Or am I wrong?) Anyhoo, Gabino is an original and I, too, am very curious as to what he will do now. He pretty much can't let those kids go. Or can he?

Urban A, Yep on Gabino deserving the migraine for the rest of his life. After Paloma alluded to it last night I had an "aha!" moment thinking that will be his Karmageddon.

R la O, we are thinking Elisa is not preggo.

Like some of you I am very irritated that the murders of Guido and Sra. Beltran will likely go undiscovered. Bah!


 

OK Carlos and UA, I'm coming over to the table for my sangria. Thank you Doctor C for setting us straight regarding snakebites and snake ID. Well, the snake was a pretty little thing, whatever it was.

Blue, "a liver transplant, an appendectomy, and a sex change", snort!

daisynjay, "Arango can be like Dallas", funny.

Anon207, thank you for reminding us of some of the very important but seemingly forgotten details. You are a wonderful historian.

Thanks for all the great comments y'all. You guys are the best.
 

We can imagine that once they unearth Ingrid and blame it on Gabino, they'll go investigate over at the mansion and see a little mound of dirt over there too.

What was that funny movie with Cameron Diaz and (dang, who else?) where they invited people over for dinner and then killed them if they were haters, and then they had all those mounds and beautiful flowers growing out of the mounds in their backyard?

I noticed that when Gael called Elisa "chamaca" he pronounced it with a "K" sound. Correcto?
 

Good call on the coral snake mouth capacity, Carlos. I grew up in Florida, and the first thing we had to learn at summer camp was to identify the 5 local poisonous snakes. I remember that while rattlesnakes, bless their hearts, can unhinge their jaws to about 180 degrees and latch flat onto any part of your body (including your stomach), to get bitten by a coral snake you pretty much had to insert your finger or toe into its mouth.

When I was at the zoo, a keeper was bitten by a cobra, and it was incredibly fast-acting -- but mercifully painless, he said. Before he blacked out, he managed to hit one of the panic buttons in the reptile house, and of course there was antivenin on hand.

Isn't this fun???
 

Yes it is!

R la O, would that be Last Supper? This subject reminds me of a house I once rented with a couple of friends. When we went to originally look at the house the current occupants had bunnies in cages in the back yard and lots of birds in cages indoors. After living in the house for a few months we decided to have a vegetable garden. So my friend Becky and I went out in the back yard with our shovels and started digging. About a foot down my shovel hit some black visqueen, a black plastic trash bag to be exact. My shovel broke through the plastic and I let out a blood-curling scream when I discovered that all the bunnies and birdies had been killed and were decomposing (not very nicely I might add) in the plastic bag. We had our own Pet Cemetery! Our other roommate Chris ran out and he said, "Hmmm...I was wondering what they were going to do with all those animals." Becky and I nearly keeled over. Chris managed to unearth the bags, rebag them and dispose of them properly. Gah, I'll never forget that horrible moment. And yes, we did plant the garden.
 

Sylvia thanks for this hilarious recap. You had great forbearance with Pal and she did look nice in yellow.

I do fear the moneys will not give us justice for the widow and Guido which is a shame.
 

Querida Sylvia,

Thanks for the laughs.

Two questions:

1) Did anyone else notice the air freshener hanging from Gabino's rearview mirror?

That's one mighty paper pine tree that can absorb the stench of Los Mendoza.

2) Have Gabino and Orangina not heard the TN rule that anyone who announces, "I'm leaving town tomorrow" NEVER reaches the city limits alive?
 

Ha ha, Anonymous, I noticed the air-freshener too. I assumed it was some kind of inside joke. Or maybe the monkeys wear them as amulets.
 

So very funny, Sylvia, I laughed throughout, especially every time you mentioned Dam not taking his shirt off to cure the snake bite. I was worried that since Dam wasn't taking his shirt off, that Ramona would. Yikes!

The death confessional in front of Chente and Paloma means they can't die either, so that's good. And I would imagine that Chente will finally come to reality about Gabino too. And the confession of the machine sabotage was necessary too. So just a few more secrets to be revealed and we can call this a wrap.


 

For somre reason, I don't think Gabs would be able to off his kids. This is one complex guy, but the younger the character, the more he's inclined to become a softy, sneakily bringing them to hospitals, offering advice in his bizarre way...that may actually be his undoing. He just won't be able to go THAT far.

Which unfortunately means that Chente will live to be a snot-nose another day, and heaven forbid, procreate at some point in his future miserable life.

I need a drink.


 

I totally missed the air freshener, hee.

cathyx, like Diana I felt a little sorry for Chente. Actually last night I didn't but I feel slightly more magnanimous in the morning light. I know Braulio called him a man, and maybe he is legally, but he is extremely immature. As in snot-nosed brat, i.e. mocoso. I guess I would be OK with him surviving. I'm guessing Paloma will not be killed because she is supposedly pregnant, even though she stubbornly refuses to look like it.
 

Chente may end up living with Gael and Paloma.

EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SYLVIA! That is an awful pet cemetery story! Hopefully the monkeys don't read our blog as I can see that scene showing up in a future Pit.

Calling all Talismaniacs...
WHO WORE IT BEST?
The Fresno Lake Blue shirt with white slacks. Damian or Rennie?


 

Thankfully we didn't get the same crotch shot of Damian that we got of Rennie in the taxi. Double EWWWW! (One for each ball! LOL)
 

Great recap Sylvia. Trust you to do the pre-penultimate recap up right. There were so many Sylviaisms and funny insights in this recap. I have to 'ditto' Blue in her evaluation of the best THEMES in the recap but one particular note of Sylvia-genius made me laugh out loud,

"Le pant, le heave." I don't know if it was the absurdity of the scene where the two villains twirl their respective mustaches (metaphor! Carmina always twirls and messes with her hair) and confess all their evil deeds in between passionate tongue wrangling, or just the oh-so-clever way you worded 'Le pant, Le heave,' but when I read that I laughed until I cried. My GAWD, girl, you are a witty one.

I dunno about a fitting end for Carmina. She is the embodiment of EEEvil. I can't think of a fitting end, honestly. An absurd ending comes to mind, 'Carmina tries to escape on horseback but falls, catching her foot in a stirrup and is dragged until bald', is an example of that. As to Gabino, he is a pretty boy and would be well punished in a Mexican jail, I think. Nuff said.

Thanks again, Cap'n for this rollicking and hilarious recap. I loved every word of it.

EJ
 

Oh, Rosemary:

Damian wore the outfit best, for sure. I thought his striking coloring was beautifully set off by the pale aqua linen shirt and white trousers. Even without the offensive crotch shot, Dam is the handsomer man and wins by a mile.

EJ
 

R la O, Rennie wins for the skeev factor. Dam wins for the hawt factor. But they both wore it well. Just read EJ's comment, she said it better than I.

daisynjay, I hadn't thought about Chente procreating. That would be bad I think. I loved the subtlety of when Braulio punched Chente and Chente was all "dad aren't you going to do something?" to Gabino. Then Gabino just hustled them right outta there so he wouldn't have to tell Chente that Braulio can easily kick his a$$.

EJ, glad you enjoy the little bit of Pepe le Pew that I stuck in there. The scenes with Carmina and Gabino are the BEST. Elisa on the verge of death paled and was easily fast forwardable to get back to the good stuff.
 

Oh my gosh, Sylvia, you are getting soft, you are.

Feel sorry for Vicente the Bad Seed? Not. He had a fine childhood home (if modest) and two parents who loved him. He is a greedy little snot and wants something for nothing. I feel like his disillusionment in Gabino may teach him a lesson but he has made so many willful, malicious bad choices that I cannot feel sorry for him.

EJ
 

Aw geez, but he looked so sad and shocked when he heard all about daddy' heinous deeds and Carmina talking about "getting rid of the brat" when Gabino was done with him. And didn't Gabino say something to him like "stop crying like a girl"? Poor kid (snort!).
 

".... you won't take your shirt off. So cry, cry I say! Lolita gets Dam in a headlock, pressing his head against her ample bosom which should be some comfort to him."

Everybody has mentioned your other zingers but that one just got me. I blush to admit that I'm sick to death of Lolita's blubbering also. Every dang time Elisa gets a hangnail it's treated like pneumonia! But granted, being ill enough to be on a respirator (Good God, couldn't they have brought Ramona to the clinic instead!)is serious.

You are just so dang funny Sylvia. I keep thinking you've outdone yourself but then you outdo yourself some more. Where will this end?

Fell asleep during this last night so tried to watch it after lunch. Fell asleep again! But savored every word of your recap, amiga.
 

Ooops, I forgot to say "thank you" for the phrase-of-the-day -- "hacer pucheros."


Can't wait to use it in conversation with the maintenance crew in my building.
 

Sylvia,

You are simply amazing. I knew from the title that this would be great but when I read the first two lines ("Clearly Damian did not go to the Fernando Colunga school of snakebite cures. More’s the pity.") I got the giggles and couldn't stop laughing all the way through.

This has to be the Best Antepenultimate Recap ever. (Snort. I get a point for every Pitter who had to reach for a dictionary just now.)

This has been a very creepy novela all along. First we spent weeks -- months? -- mucking around in a quasi-incestuous mire. But last night -- whoa. Am I the only one who felt we were witnessing the resurrection of the goddess, Elisa?

Re Paloma and Gael -- assuming they both survive to the end -- I suppose we are being primed for a turnabout. Gael has to chase after Paloma and beg her to come back.

Ditto for Braulio and Chente -- Chente has to beg Braulio's forgiveness and plead with him to be his daddy again. (Or perhaps Chente will fall under one of those buses that occasionally pass by the Casa Azul.)

The air freshener in Gabino's car -- yes, I saw something dangling from his mirror but wasn't sure. Thought it might have been one of those bobblehead Lolitas.
 

Great recap! Thank you!

Wow, I didn't expect Gabino to reveal his paternidad to Paloma. Poor Chente though he is finally, slowly starting to see how his father really is. Kinda enjoyed seeing Braulio sick him in the gut.

So its Dr. Ramona to the rescue. That was fast. She might be talented but now the secret's out with concerning the identity of Paloma's father. She's got some splaining to do.

I wonder what Paloma will do now that she knows Carmina's and Gabino's secrets. Should be interesting with only 3 hours left of this TN.
--TF
 

Gabino seems to be in terminal blabbermouth mode. He has mentally checked out of La Ermita (though WE know no one escapes alive) and is disposed to blurt out secrets if he thinks they have the power to hurt (Braulio and the sabotage in the ProCe) or to manipulate (if Paloma knows she's his daughter, maybe she'll help him).

He may still blurt out the truth about La Beltran and maybe even Ingrid's murder of Gweedo since he's one of the few who know about it. (I can't remember if Carminia knows too.)
 

Marta, we were in Austin Tue and Wed and didn't return until yesterday afternoon. Though I read your recap, I didn't get a chance to comment on it yesterday. Thanks, it was a great recap (as always). I watched the episode after reading your recap... you captured things perfectly.

I got a kick out of Gabino's snake purchase. I didn't realize that one can easily acquire a coral snake... just like that... in Mexico. I cracked up when he told the guy that he wanted it as a pet and then walked away with it holding the basket as far away from his body he could get it.

Was that good acting with attention to fine detail or was it that the actor is just not fond of snakes?

Carlos
 

Sylvia- There is nothing more I can say that hasn't already been said. But it struck me as folks mentioned that this is your last recap of this show. I can't believe we will soon be without the recapping genious of this whole Passion Pit Team! I'm ready for the show to end, but not for the recaps to end!

ITA that the most interesting question we were left with is WWGD (What will Gabino do)? Surely he won't kill his two kids, no matter how much of a depraved jerk he is. But they now know (nearly) everything. Perhaps he'll tie them up and leave, thinking he'll be far from La Ermita by the time they are found/escape. Not realizing tha no one escapes from La Ermita alive. Bwahahaha!!!
 

Carlos, yes i noticed how he made an effort to stretch his arm as far away from his body as he could (I remember a teacher at my elementary school who would punish the boys makign them stand up holding books in their hands with their arms stretched completely out and the boys would be crying within 5 mins from the pain... now try doing that nowadays... the teacher could kick his career goodbye just from the first time implementing that kind of 'treatment'.

anyway, yes it was funny how Gab made a point of holding it far from himself after saying he wanted it for a pet...

speaking of Gabino, i agree with whoever said he has a soft spot for his kids, remember when he was talking about Remedios (Paloma's mom)? he seemed to have had true feelings for her at some point even though he abandoned her...

 

You will actually get me one more time. EJ, Novela Maven and I are going to share the Gran Final on Monday. You are so right about the recapping genius of the Passion Pit Team. Let's not forget Sara who started with the team and then the amazing cathyx who jumped in to take her place. We didn't lose a beat in that transition.

Who was it said Gabino is a complex character? So true. He has become one of my telenovela favorites.
 

LaErmita...
some place... it makes Hotel California seem like a kinder garden...

people who leave either come back or don't make it too many miles away..
Rosie,
Stefie,
Gael (returned),
Paolo,
Guido,
Damian (returned),
Flo (returned),
Kenya (returned then got killed),
Ingrid (returned, then got killed),
Loopy (was ordered to go, stayed and got killed instead),


A Dallas-like hacienda Arango... well, they definitely have enough rooms...and plenty of land space to expand for the kid rooms... or another house in the grounds for Gael's side of the family. i seriously doubt he will stay there long... i agree that he will end up leaving there and then going to Ramona's to get Paloma back. But first he has to realize he doesn't really want to be AT Arango hacienda.

 

Thank you ever so much, Sylvia! I loved everything about this recap.

This show is just like Talisman in that the most compelling character is the villain. Is it too much to hope that Gabino will let his hair roam free in one final meltdown?

The idiocy of our heroes is challenging even my high-power reinforced beanie. Why didn't they leave Elisa in the clinic on the respirator and get Ramona to treat her there?
 

The biggest mystery that I hope gets revealed is what is under the bandana.
 

Julia, I wonder if the writers deliberately make the villains more interesting or if they evolve that way? I've heard so many actors say they prefer to play villains because it's more fun.

cathyx, if we don't find out what's under that bandana we'll have to start making stuff up.
 

As Gabino lays dying with blood oozing out, Chente unwraps it and uses it as a tourniquet, revealing....
 

In "La reina del sur", Salvador Z played a scuzzball called "el Ratas" who had a tattoo of a rat covering his hand. He made a lot of dramatic hay out of the tat. Maybe the actor likes having a hand shtick, tried out the bandana, and kept it when people started to notice it and comment on it.

BTW, Chente's bandana is back in his pocket after a tentative foray onto his hand. But I notice the mocoso hasn't taken off his watch since Braulio gave it to him.
 

But Novela Maven, that's not very fun. And since you are a maven of novelas, I expect you to make up something spectacular.

And besides, that doesn't explain why his hand was covered when he was in his hospital gown.
 

For the finale, I'm going to put my hair in a ponytail, wear a plaid shirt with half the buttons undone, and tie a bandana around my hand. Unfortunately I don't think my caboose in jeans will do justice to Gabino Mendoza, but ni modo.
 

NovelaMaven - good catch that Chente still wears the watch Brau gave him. Must be a good watch!

I could imagine Gabs and Chente dying together in a bad one-truck accident, and Carmina will go to jail for her crimes. But who knows.... my predictions and wishes never come true.

For viewing the Por Fin, I will wear one of the hubby's plaid flannel shirts and some short running shorts with the hems turned up. I'll see if I have any skanky sandals to wear, too.
 

I was sobbing with laughter the other night in the Blue House when Gabino came out of the shower wearing nothing but a VERY low-slung towel...and the bandana. Which one does he put on first, I wonder?
 

I'm guessing that the bandanna is covering Gabino's Hello Kitty tattoo that he acquired when he was captain of the ping pong team at Princeton.

Carlos
 

Hahahaha....Oh Carlos!
 

Carlos, you are too funny. I'm guessing he's covering up a rainbow tattoo.
 

Bwahahahaaa! Oh the shame of it all.
 

Stigmata.
 

Definitely stigmata. A saint in very heavy disguise is our Gabino.
