Caray, Caray!

Thank you, Bill. Hoo boy, it wasn't easy to feel sorry for Claudia tonight. What a brat!

Angelica riding away on a motorcycle - hmm, Santi just might end up a widower yet.

Additional material: Fernando has another job interview. This time he wears his desperation on his sleeve.

Helena admits to Eva that she still has feelings for Juan. Eva prepares to reveal something to Helena. "Helena, I-" and that's it. And I don't think we got to see anything new in the avances, either! How rude of them, to cut off the episode in the middle of a sentence!
 

Thanks, Bill for going the extra mile to give us this recap.

That cliff hanger is very provocative but I bet that Eva does not complete that "Helena, yo..." with "soy Juan Carlos" We're rooting for her to come out -- but it probably won't be in this next episode.

Another incomplete sentence was almost an "outing" but Lucia covered nicely. In front of Santi she whined that everything would be ok "if only Renato were not..." Then she caught herself before she completed the sentence. Santi asked "If Renato were not what?" and Lucia thought fast. "If only Renato weren't so good looking .... with those green eyes"

Bill- thank you so much for this excellent recap. So enjoyed this epi. So Helena's scales are not quite off her eyes yet. I wish they were. It will take some shocking revelation for her to see Pluti as he really is, but the great thing was, she did admit to Eva she is still in love with JC yay.

Claudia I hope gets what is coming to her. That hissy fit of hers with the chofer taking Eugenia instead of her. What a little witch. I really hope this prank of hers doesn't send Eugenia over the edge. The agent really thought she has gone over the edge again.

Rebe is getting worse and worse. She should not have told Marcela and Fern's kids what really happened as far as Fern goes. So glad Marcela confronted Rebe and hopefully, Eva will help Marcela and unmask Rebe for what she did.

Kevin looked kinda reluctant to go along with this prank of Eugenia. I hope he doesn't go thru with it, and hate how Jennifer is falling into Daniel's trap. I hope she wakes up too.

I have to give JC credit for his talk with Helena. He is keeping his distance in talking to Helena and not pushing himself on her, not like Pluti does. Even though love the priceless looks Eva gives when hugging Helena, lol. I too don't think Eva is going to out herself to Helena. It is too soon for that.

What in the world does Angie want that motorcycle for? I think it is really the last thing Santi has, it is his only transportation, so she just had to have that. Poor Santi is really in the poor house now. I wish that Lucia and Santi could be roommates that would be such a hoot.
 

Thanks, Bill, and thanks TJ for yesterday. It's great to have the recaps to rely on 'cuz my schedule is messed up with the holidays.

Claudia is such a mean little witch. It's bad enough for her to mess with Eugenia's mind without corrupting Kevin as well.

Thank you for your recap while in Connecticut! Even though it was nothing new, I liked hearing
Angelica's "Hasta luego, baby" as she drove off on Santi's motorcycle. Hopefully, she really will give him the divorce and leave him alone now to pay off all the bills. I also liked Juan Carlos coming out of the car to address the couple watching him put on his Eva makeup as they were passing by and telling them not to judge him because he was doing it for love. The best part of Fernando's interview was the stuffed wildcat on the shelf above the interviewer's head. I wonder who came up with that idea for the set.

Well, Juan got a mountain-sized serving of hope when Helena told Eva, "As much as I try not to, I still love Juan Carlos with all my soul." And that mountain was smashed to little bits when she added, "I can never, ever trust him again."

 

And if Juan doesn't admit to being Eva tonight, then that scene ("I can never trust him again") is going to be part of a long montage that will flash before Helena's eyes (and ours) later when she finally finds out the truth. She'll remember all the times he should have spoken up and didn't.

His excuse, that he doesn't want to put HER at risk (because he's a fugitive) by knowing any more than she already does, really doesn't cut it. She already knows enough to be on the hook for abetting a criminal; knowing the rest of the story wouldn't increase her risk. It would, however, increase HIS risk, and I'm sure she'll throw that in his face when the time comes.

As she should! Gaaaah! Seriously, I'm mad at him too, and I'll be even madder if he doesn't tell tonight.
 

Julie, if Juan tells Helena he's Eva tonight, I'll send you a CASE of Devil Dogs. That's how sure I am that it won't happen. (For those not in the northeast, Devil Dogs were discontinued at the same time as Twinkies.) In fact, if the big reveal comes before #157, (last 10 caps) I'll send you a month's worth of Takis (notice I'm a little less certain of that prediction).

 

I don't care for Twinkies and I HATE Devil Dogs (I was frightened by one as a small child, no lie).

But it's okay, because I'm as sure as you are that the big reveal won't be tonight anyhow. I'm sure that I will, in fact, be even madder at Juan tonight. And I'll be recapping, too, so I'm going to have to control myself.

(Sigh... Drake's Fruit Pies are what I really miss!)
 

Sorry for the late post, but thank you Ithabil! Some bummer developments but at least the plot line moves forward.

Well well well well. I'm pleased to report that at least one of my predictions was WRONG!

My recap will probably be late (possibly tomorrow) because I haven't finished today's work yet, so I have to finish that, and then I need to re-watch the episode because I wasn't able to give it my full attention due to aforementioned work and it is a super-action-packed episode so I don't want to just wing it.
 

Thanks for the recaps. Oh yea Univision has closed captions, if you are looking for the english subtitles it is CC3 don't know if you can get it to work on your tv. I have to set it through my digital box and as always cc1 for spanish.
 

Love the Devil Dog ....Twinkie bets!! I double devil dog dare ya!! Glad to see folks are having as much fun with this novella as I am. At a Christmas party on Dec 23rd, one of my bff's moms was visiting from Mexico City. Mom said that 'Por Ella Soy Eva' was the *only* telenovela she has watched in years! Gertie
 

Julie, take your time. There are no telenovelas on Monday anyways, as Uni is showing New Year's Eve stuff. That was a great epi and can't wait to read your great recap about it :)
 

OK, I've posted the juiciest bits that I caught while I was half-watching. I know I'll want to add more stuff after a proper viewing (well before Tuesday night!), but this ought to do for now...
