Amores Verdaderos #40 Fri 1/4/13 What A Wicked Game We Play.....

Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight we have a whole plethora of people playing wicked games. First there is Odiodette (Thanks Niece in MD) who wants to ruin Ms Vikki, Kendho who wants to bring Nilson to his knees, literally, and Nikki who wants to get rid of Guzmi and will do anything she can to get rid of him. They should be careful how they play these wicked games, cause they have a way of back firing on the person that engineered them, jus' sayin'. The title of this recap courtesy of Chris Isaak.

What a Wicked Game We Play:

So we are in the kitchen of the Balvanera manse, where poor Guzmi is the recipiant of this wicked game of You Are the Father!!! Ms Vikki wants him to accept responsiblity already, and Tomasina ( I am giving her the nickname of Tomi) wants him to confess it already! Both Tomi and Ms Vikki think that Guzmi is a liar, but nopis he ain't and poor Guzmi, he so is NOT the father and is going to talk to Nikki. Ms Vikki runs after him, can't be alone with her bebe doncha know.

So Nikki is in her room and Nabila, the instigator of this wicked game, are on line in Nikki's room, and they are either chatting with some guy or on a dating website and now the guy wants a picture, and Nikki is leery about that, could be a serial killer, or maybe a rapist, who knows when Guzmi waltzes right in and tells Nabila to take a hike. Nikki is pithed cause he didn't knock before he came in and he can't order her friends around, doncha know. Well Guzmi wants Nikki to do some 'splainin' and Nabila says no problem, she's going and will close the door so they can have some privacy, wink, wink. So now Guzmi wants to know bout this wicked game she is playing, telling her Mama she is pregnant and he's the bebe daddy. Nikki is trying to tell him she so admires the tie he is wearing but no go from Guzmi. Stop changing the subject and just tell him why, oh why is she doin' this to him?? Does she want him to be fired, and jobless????Who is the bebe daddy already, it ain't him. Well, does he really wanna know??? Of course he does. Well you tell me your secret and I'll tell you mine, in other words, tell me bout the wife and I'll tell you who the bebe daddy is. Well, who told her, he's married?? Well, things get around and if he has a secret, she can too, when in comes Ms Vikki, who knocked before she came in by the by. Nikki lets Guzmi know that too. Ms Vikki says the three of them need to talk, and Nikki is so not down with that, why doesn't he minimize himself and disappear, lol. Well he ain't having that and goes. So Nikki and Ms Vikki have a little sitdown and Ms Vikki wants to know why Nikki never said anything about being preggers and by the by Nikki wants to know who told her that, anyways??? Ms Vikki says doesn't matter, is she or isn't she??? We'll get back to that.

So now we have the Angel in bed, there is loud music and of course Angel is covering his ears, cause he is trying to sleep, and he opens his eyes, sits up in bed and is watching, wait for it, Cris dancing, in a skimpy, slippy, shorty nightie with lace and she is just almost imitating that scene from Flashdance, ya know the one with the chair, and she is doin' a hootchie, kootchie, sorta dance and the Angel is so likin' it. Angel wants to know what is up, but she wants him to enjoy it, and believe me he is, dancing in the bed, so to speak. So she gets on the bed and continues the dance, but her balance isn't that great, so he pulls her down with him, she tells him she was nervous, but he tells her he loved her dance, loves her more than ever, and it's en flagrante time!

So now here is Kendho, in that bidness outfit, complete with wig, calling the hotel where the Angel and Ms Vikki were, and asks the desk clerk to ring that suite, which she does, but there is no answer, so Kendho says she is gonna have to get over there, to the suite, before Odiodette's goons get over there and get the DVD and also that Ms Vikki and Angel are losers and are probably home. She goes.

Oh, and looky here, it's Nilson and Dances in the car going home it seems. Well Nilson is waxing poetic bout Kendho of course, how she turns him on, er "transforms him", he really went to see her to give her grief over coming into his bedroom at the Balvanera manse, but got side tracked, er, was delighted with Kendho's deliciousness, oh barf!!!! She excites him so much, it ain't love doncha know, it's lust, er she so makes him have a good time. Oh, double barf, jus' sayin'. Now he wants to know what Dances thinks???? Why isn't Dances throwing him any one lined zingers, already??? Well, Dances, in his philosophical mode, says he ain't paid to be the voice of Nilson's conscience, excuse me while I yuk it up, sorry had to do it. Anyhoo, Kendho is a dangerous woman, he's told Nilson this before and Dances still thinks so. Well, Nilson, if he only had a brain, shout out to the Wizard of Oz, says the only danger he sees is that a man can get lost with Kendho, Que, Que, What???? But that would be any man, not Nilson Brizz doncha know. Dances thought bubbles what we in Viewerville already know IDIOTA!!!!!!

Well, now Guzmi is in the kitchen with Tomi and she can't understand that Guzmi is the bebe daddy, she thought he was such a fine, upstanding young man, it's not in his nature, to play this wicked game. Guzmi assures her he is as pure as the driven snow, doncha know. But what about the shower incident??? Hmmmm?? That was an innocent prank, and not what Tomi thinks. Anyhoo, they are interrupted by Viewerville's favorite duo of Polita and Jean Marie, and Lili is with them. The duo plus one have been watching a movie, about some guy telling his girlfriend, that no matter what happens he will love her till death, Jean Marie by the by has a wad of tissues, and says he couldn't stop crying, this actor is an artiste, and magnificent. lol. Polita, dancing around toward Guzmi says if someone, wink , wink, nudge, nudge, said that to her, she'd be all over that, er, she'd fall over, lol. Anyhoo, the duo notices somthing is happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear, why are Tomi and Guzmi so serious?? Well saved by the buzzing house phone, and it is a cab for cutie, er Lili, so Lili tells Polita it is for her, and she smoochies cheekies and goes. Now they really wanna know what is goin' on, even if it is a Greek tragedy, and Tomasina says it's a real life movie of the week, Lifetime anyone??? Well you get the drift. Ms Vikki comes in and Guzmi asks if the matter is cleared up? Sure it is and come with her, they go, and Tomi basically tells Polita and Jean Marie, none ya.

So now we have Nikki, a very uncomfortable Guzmi and of course Ms Vikki, and she asks Guzmi to have a seat. He wants to stand. Alrighty then, so basically Guzmi wants to know if now the little matter of the preggers thingy has been straightened out. You bet, Nikki says. Guzmi is happy cause the weight is off his shoulders now, and thanks so much. Not so fast, Nikki says she had to tell Mama Vikki the "secret" that Guzmi and she are gonna be parents, Que Que What???? What parents? Us of course, Mama will support us no worries, she is always there for us, doncha know. And what is Guzmi's plan, Ms Vikki asks? Well, Guzmi says there ain't no plan and by the way your daughter is a big freakin' liar, well, not big freakin' but you get the drift. Ms Vikki doesn't like Guzmi calling her daughter a liar, no siree Bob, she don't and calls him on that. Nikki says let him be, he's the bebe daddy, but hey I can do this alone, Mama Vikki says, nah not so much, I'll hlep you and Nikki has gotta go now, can't take anymore, and Ms Vikki turns to Guzmi and says see what you've done now! Shut up and don't say a word. Ms Vikki, of course, runs after Nikki while leaving Guzmi just standing there, with his tail between his legs so to speak. Probrecito!!!! And to top it off, here comes snotty Nilson, wanting to know how it's goin'. Guzmi looks like he just swallowed a fly and he don't know why!

So now we have Kendho in the suite, and she goes to the cabinet and removes some pillows and there is the hidden recording device. She removes the DVD from it and tells herself she just had to get this, before Odiodette's henchies, what wicked things the Angel and Ms Vikki did, can't wait to see it and it ain't safe to watch it there, will take it somewhere safe to watch. She replaces the DVD with a blank one, puts the pillows back in front of the recording device and goes.

So now back to Ms Vikki and Nikki. Nikki is in the bathroom, yukking it up, as her Mama is bangin' on the door, wanting to console her, over Guzmi's denial of everything. (Ed Note: In case you are confused, about this wicked game Nikki continues to play, I believe that when Ms Vikki and Nikki were talking alone a bit ago, Ms Vikki told Nikki what Nabila said, and I believe that Nikki is going with it, to maybe get rid of Guzmi altogether or get him to reveal who his wife is), Nikki just vants to be alone, doncha know. She is splashing water on her face and in her eyes, so she looks like she has been bawling her eyes out. So, Nikki finally lets her in and tells her Mama Vikki, she didn't tell her cause she thought she would be sooo mad at her, and when is she gonna fire Guzmi??? Uh, not so much, he has to take responsibility. Nikki says that Vikki can't force Guzmi to love her, and by the way, don't tell Snappi Papi, she don't wanna worry him. Oh, now poor Ms Vikki, blames herself, she was a bad Mama, didn't pay attention, wishes Nikki has said something sooner, but Nikki tries to tell her if only she hadn't hired that bodyguard. Oh, noes. Poor Ms Vikki is so riddled with guilt. But Nikki does tell her Mama she is a super amiga, best friend eva OKAY!!!! Oh noes, here comes the oily Nilson, who finds his two best girlz toghetha. Can I barf now!!!! He wants to know wuz up? And by the by what the hell is up with Guzmi, he ain't himself, did he and Nikki get into it, er somethin' happen. Yeah, he borrowed my car without askin' permission from Nikki, doncha know. And Snappi Papi actually said something sane for once and asks Nikki if maybe she over reacted??? Hmmm??? Well, now Ms Vikki wants to know why Nilson is sooo happy??? What's with the good mood? Well he "spent the day with the guys" and she "spent the day with Odiodette" waving a white flag, that would be Odiodette with the flag. Anyhoo, Nilson says Life makes him happy. I am gonna need a cast iron skillet, jus' sayin'.

Oh, look, it's Kendho in her satiny jammies, watching like a voyeur that DVD of Angel and Ms Vikki, dancing and Kendho is having such a good yuk, she calls Dances and tells him how good it turned out, better than she thought, Dances wants to know if the DVD caught them doin' the nasty so to speak. Nah, not so much. They were expecting their spouses and the Angel was very excited, well poor guy hadn't seen his wife in foreva, my thoughts not hers, but Ms Vikki was very creative, and ya gotta come see this. Well, it might inspire Sunglasses, who, surprisingly turns her down flat. He wants her to stop talkin' trash and to get ready for tomorrow, click!!! Who, knew.

Oh, looky here, what have we got. Odiodette of course, with the henchies, she ain't got much time, doncha know. Put the DVD in and let's see what we got already. Well the henchies do as she asked, and put the DVD in the machine. Well, of course nothing comes up, cause we in Viewerville already know that is a blank DVD, so now she wants some FF>>>> already, get it over with. Still nothing. Now she is pithed. One of the henchies, takes out the DVD to check it and there is nothing inscribed on it. So guess what, Odiodette got screwed over, yay!!! Well she is having a caniption fit! The henchies are inept, now she's got bupkiss, no Angel, no Ms Vikki, no nasty, they are fools, and get out of here, you are so fired and Get OUT!!!! Then Odiodette does the thingy typical for her. She goes by her office desk and lets out one huge Neanderthal howl, you can probably hear on Mars with her fist clenched to boot. (Ed Note: When this happened, my poor puppies were on my lap, I laughed so hard and loud, I scared them and my daughter ran down the stairs and wanted to know what that noise was, lol. Had to calm the puppies down, ok, they aren't puppies, two are two years old and one is five but they are small lap dogs jus' sayin').

So now we have the Angel in bed, en flagrante over, and is thinking about that dance of Ms Vikki's and is wondering who the hell set them up, while Ms Vikki is in bed thinkin' the same darn thing.

What a Wicked Thing to Do To Make Me Dream Of You:

So Nikki is in bed dreamin, doncha know, and it's such a sweet dream. Buying things for the bebe, ya know, clothes, stroller, playpen, onsies, etc. So now Guzmi is yelling in her dream to stop this wicked game she is playin', and he knows there ain't no bebe, for realz. Well, he will just have to put up with it, till he is sooo beyond fired!!! Why is she sooo obessed with him anyways. Well, in her dream she tells him this is basically payback for not revealing who he is married to, and him crying and not letting her comfort him! Oh, he'll pay, and she smiles in her sleep.

Guzmi is tossing and turning and can't get to sleep, the probrecito gets outta bed and opens the window and breathes deeply of the night air, he actually looks like he was  suffocating.

Oh, looky here, whose that knocking on the door, must be a quarter to four??? It's Kendho, having been woken up out of her sleep by that knock and I'll give you three guesses, and the first two don't count. That's right Viewerville, it's Odiodette. She barges into Kendho's apartment, and Kendho is offended that Odiodette woke her from her beauty sleep, probrocita, NOT. No SLEEP FOR YOUUUU. Odiodette doesn't give a rat's patooty, bout that  damn DVD is blank, oh the horror!!! Kendho thought her henchies were so techno savvy. Well, nah, not so much. They were very inept. So Kendho wants to be paid, as she did HER job, doncha know. Are you lol yet??? I know I was. Odiodette thinks her plan was sooo great, as Kendho told her, but now she will have to find another way to destroy Ms Vikki's marriage to Nilson. Kendho tells her to leave it in her hands, cause Nilson is comin' round. So Odiodette thinks that will take too long, so Kendho is like well ramp up the plan, have her killed. Now to Odiodette's credit, she don't want no murder, oh, noes. She reveals her mis planes to Kendho and tells her she don't want Ms Vikki on no morgue slab, oh, noes, she wants her to slowly crash, bit by bit and to be crushed both personally and professionally. Oh, the horror!!!!!

So now it is happy breakfast time with Cris, Lili, and Bea. The Angel is sleepin' in, poor guy is worn out. Anyhoo, Bea wants to make sure Cris takes care of Guillo. Cris promises she will, bless her heart. Lili can't beleive Leo (Can someone come up with a nickname for him? I hate him so much I can't think of one, jus' sayin') anyhoo, didn't show up at the dance place and Lili and Cris are both outraged that Leo the Horrible is turning Guillo against Bea. They just can't fathom that. Bea thinks she'll get a divorce from Leo when hell freezes over, well you get the drift. Anyhoo, Bea is sad, so to change the subject, they ask her if she at least got to dance while she was at that club. Well, yeah she did. They want a description. Bea makes it clear, it was only ONE dance and with a guy that was tall, dark-skinned, and he danced really well. They are impressed, and Bea says that's enough now, gotta go to work, want to be early. She again gets Cris to promise to take good care of Guillo and again Cris swears no problem. Bea has gotten up to go to the door, and the Angel is behind her and scares her half to death. Bea is very nervous, first day and all, and the Angel, bless his heart, tells her she'll be fine. She is about to go, but Angel and Lili will walk her out, they got an akido class and will walk her down. So all three go, and Cris goes over to the Virgincita's statue and says a prayer to her for Bea, bless her heart. She asks the Virgincita to help Bea do a great job at her new job, she needs to cause of Guillo, and Cris is asking with all her heart, bless Cris' heart, jus' sayin'.

So now we have Dances with Sunglasses, he has taken them off, just a daydreamin' about that dance he had with sweet Bea, and I can't beleive it, but he is actually smiling and he is a million miles away. Jean Marie offers him coffee. They can't believe how happy he is, Polita is there too. Dances has been suffering for his "sick Mama" and since an Angel fell down from the sky, no not our Angel, the new one, Bea in other words, his world is all lit up. Wow!!! They think that only happens when you pray. So Tomi has come in with some tarot cards and Jean Marie wants to cut them, but Tomi has another target in mind. Dances of course. Tomi thinks he needs someone to talk to about his "sick Mama", but he's a strong man, doncha know, doesn't need no one to talk to. He is ready to meet his destiny and if that is a dance with death so be it. Ruh Roh. But then he says as long as it is Salsa doncha know. Well, now Tomi wants him to pick a card, any card. He picks one that looks like a lady with two swords in her hands, I think. Don't know much about tarot, not into that. Anyhoo, Tomi takes one look at that card and tells him he'll dancing alright, but not with death, with LIFE and she smiles. Hmmmmm!

So now Angel and Lili and Bea have made it to the lobby and Angel is telling Bea where to catch the bus to go to Meta Imagen and it will drop her off right at the door of M.I. When guess who walks in??? Anyone, that's right Pau-Whiner, and Bea immediately asks what she is doing there, and Lili greets her and the Angel is way confused, y'all know her, he asks. Of course, PauWhiner says course, I am Bea's Mama's best friend, Que Que What???? So Angel and Lili gotta go off to that akido class, which leaves PauWhiner and Bea are left alone and Bea is pithed. She wants some 'splain from her Mama Whiner. She tells Bea, okey dokey, I live here. Cara de impactada de Bea!!!!

Now we are back at the Balvanera manse, where Nikki is getting ready and Guzmi has come by, knocking on the door first this time, and Nikki tells him he is early today, to take care of her. He wants to apologize, didn't sleep a wink last night and tells her he is sorry he called her a liar in front of her Mama. But he needs to know why she made up this story bout him being the bebe daddy and who is it by the by? He wants to know already and why did she involve him. Well she tells him, he can always quit. Well, he ain't doing that, and she tells him she had to tell her Mama something, they are together all the time, get the drift??? She goes on to tell Guzmi that the bebe daddy is long gone, doesn't want nothing to do with her, and Guzmi warns her if she keeps up this farce of him bein' the bebe Daddy he'll just get the all, time tested, true DNA test of course. Well, shut the front door Irene, cause she has sure shut up! He has grabbed her by the arms and she is telling him to let her go. So now Nikki , backed into a corner, tells him it will take a while for that, just go far, far away and she'll tell the 'rents he didn't want nothin' to do with no bebe and left her alone with the little tyke. Well, if that is what Nikki really wants but Guzmi still wants to know who the bebe Daddy is, what is the wretch's name that got her in this family way, she ain't saying, OKAY, and now bye OKAY!!!!

So now back to Pau Whiner and Bea. Pau Whiner has taken Bea up to her place and Bea can't believe it. All this time that Bea and Guillo have been living here, her Mama Whiner has too. Now Bea thinks her Mama Whiner is so ashamed of her. No, it wasn't that. Now it is moment of truth time for Pau Whiner and she finally tells Bea that Anibal Balvanera is the man she is living with and he is the Papa of Victoria Balvanera!!!! Que Que What??? Bea says Frankie works for that family too and if he ever finds out he is working for her lover's family, oh noes..... So Pau Whiner knows this too, doesn't want Frankie to quit his job and didn't want to hurt him anymore than she already has. Now Bea wants to know if Anibal knows about Bea and Frankie and who they are? Nah, not so much. Pau told him  she has two kids but not who they are. Now Bea thinks she shouldn't take this job either, oh the horror, of working for  the amante's family, but Pau actually tells her not to quit, just to go ahead and take the job, cause Bea wouldn't accept help from Pau and she needs this job to take care of Guillo, now that she is divorcing Leo the Horrible. So now Bea has gotta go, but first what does she call her mama now, that she is going? Paula?  Well she goes and says bye Paula and Pau calls her back and begs Bea for her forgiveness. I have to say Pau is on her knees, crying a river, and huggin' Bea round the knees, poor Bea is jus' a sobbin' too.

So now we are with Cris again, who is packin' the Angel's case with freshly ironed shirts, when there is a knock on the door. Cris thinks someone forgot their keys and she goes to the door, but an envelope is pushed under the door and it's addressed to Cris. So Cris opens it and in big printed letters, it says: Ask your husband where he was last night at 8:00. Cris is not pleased! End of epi.

Avances:

Angel and Ms Vikki are lookin' at that DVD on Ms Vikki's computer and Nilson comes in.

Hi Y'all working on the recap, I put the post up in the meantime so y'all can comment.
 

Thank you Madeleine.

Poor Guzman. I hope that this fake pregnancy ends soon. I also hope that he finds out that it was actually Nabila who started this lie and not Nikki.

Poor Beatriz. I felt bad for her when Paula denied being her mother in front of Big Angel and Lili.
 

I feel sure Bea will meet Salsero again probably at the office where she is now working and he sometimes goes.

But I wonder how good that relationship will be judging by his track record. But who knows?

Anyway I think they make such a fine looking couple.

Ann-NYC

 

Thank you, and I'm eagerly waiting for you recap. :)
 

Who knows. Maybe the love of a good woman can make Dances take off his sunglasses and reform. I've never seen him look at Slutty McSlutterson the way he looked at Bea. Bea deserves a good guy after her experience with her nasty ex.
 

I am looking forward to the Salsero and Beatriz pairing only so that he can give Leonardo a good beatdown and defend Beatriz from him.
 

I also loved Odette's reaction when she realized that the DVD that her goons showed her was blank.
 

Drat, I didn't see any Bailey's last night.

I enjoyed the little conversation between Odette and Kendra last night. Likely as children, Odette preferred pulling the wings off flies while the more merciful Kendra just smushed them.

Carlos
 

Poor Guzmancito! He's just so frustrated he can't even get a word in edgewise. Can't wait 'til the "later" when they will be able to laugh about this, but he should get Nikki back in some way, while rubbing it in Nabila's face that she is a non-factor in his life. Maybe he should play along and insist that he wants to marry Nikki in order to "responder como hombre."
 

As you all know, I cannot speak or understand Spanish but the language barrier did not stop me from recognizing a great performance by at least four of Amores cast members last night. The facial expressions of Nikki and Guzman were priceless and at the very least deserve recognition and loud applause. Also, Bea and Paula were just superb. I couldn't understand their dialogue but could feel every bit of the emotion that they portrayed. WOW!!!
GREAT!!!
When I was younger, I never could understand why people were so crazy about movie stars. I could never do what these people do---now I know.
the gringo
 

I so love this tn only because of the goofy way Nikki hides her love for Guzmanzito. I love their romance. The same thing with Angel and Vickie tho the reason they are trying to kill it is because they are two good people at heart. That being said about this TN, I just have to say something about the other TN-Corona de Lagrimas. I will have to admit that I didnt listen To VIvi that this TN is lousy, so I went ahead and gave it a chance for want of something to watch on the slot occupied by Refugio-my fav. Now this tn is so upsetting. Can you imagine crying and fainting for a misplaced eyeglasses!!! Who are those people that are upset with Elisa/Abismo for being a waterfaucet!!!Also I find the motherly love for the sons too much. These are mature grownup sons and she fusses over them like they are babies that can not make decisions on anything. Nough said. It's true, The title is so like it. It's a setback for all good tns that they are showing.
 

Vida2: I, too, decided to watch Corona for the same reason. I was used to tuning in at this time for Refugio. Even though going in I knew none of the actors/actresses were remotely appealing to me, I decided to give it a chance. I lasted less than half an episode. Hijole! It's not just "not good," "sort of bad," or "somewhat awful!" It's horrendous! No, thank you. Sudoku, here I come.
 

Mads- I'm looking forward to the recap later.

Kendra is playing a dangerous double game with Odette and Salsero. So far she's getting away with it, but she's not smart enough to keep this going for long.

JA was the luckiest man alive this episode. Fresh from getting to see his attractive boss do a sensual dance for him in her skivvies, he goes home to hot loving from his wife, then has dreams of his boss's dance, only to wake from that dream to the real thing by his hot wife! I hope he remembers this lucky day for a long time, because it looks like the crap hits the fan next episode.

I am so sick of Paula and her whining. Denying Bea in front of her friends. Badly played Paula. Way to treat your one child who IS speaking to you.
 

Can't wait any longer for Mads to do her thing.

Sorry, but any grain of respect I picked up for Nikki when she approached Guzman in his vale of sorrows, just got put back on the pile of sand she's got there in lieu of a castle.

That smirk she had on her face told me she was a scheming, lying mosca muerta. She's going to have to do a lot of groveling (or shoveling) to regain the ground she lost with me--let along poor Guzman. I can't really believe he's going to laugh it off when he finds out what she did. I'll give her this much of my speculation--is she doing this to later "get" her mother and to teach her a lesson about jumping to conclusions or is it to hurt Guzma? I noted someone mentioned DNA, but that would take too long (as in Amor Bravio). Guzman was almost apoplectic there at the end of that little scene.

Poor Nikki?? whose body image is so low that she puts on bikinis and struts around and dresses provocatively whenever she goes out--give me a BreaK!

Ok, Rant Over. I'll wait for some words of wisdom from the Mads to calm me down.

Meanwhile, I'll go over to AB and comiserate with those folks over Al's recent demise.
 

Corona de Lagrimas, with it's emphasis on, well...tears, just isn't my cup of tea. But I'm sure it has its good points and its fans and followers. Like I said the other day, there are many types of tns, and they all have their appeal, so I'd never want to tell someone don't watch. 9Even really bad tns can be a lot of fun.) However, CdL certainly wouldn't be fun to recap, and I think that's why it's not being recapped on Caray. But I'm sure there are plenty of our Caraymates watching it. So if you are watching CdL and want to shout out a question to fellow watchers every now and then, feel free.
 

Ok, y'all recap is up, please enjoy!
 

I'm tired of Paula's whining too. She would deserve for Beatriz to be mad at her and stop speaking to her too.
 

About Corona De Lagrimas, I am watching it and I am actually enjoying it although I did not think that I would. It has kept my interest so far.
 

Madelaine,

Thanks for all of your efforts.
This took a great deal of time on your part.

I cannot stand Nikki. She has displayed kindness only to her horse. She is a selfish brat with nothing better to do but hang out with two other shallow pals. In her defense, she's a sick person who she needs help.

I don't see how there can be any humor seen later at what she has done. This is not a romance. She is maligning the reputation of a conscientious guy trying to do his job. She thinks only of herself. She will require much counseling and greater evidence of redemption before she can lead a mature, worthwhile life
 

thx Madeleine, I have to say i'm wathcing this now for Bea and Sals. interested what they gonna bring out the writers from that relationship.

Nikki is a brat and shame on her! Doing this to a nice guy! But what do they say - what goes around, comes around -, and hopefully she's getting what she deserves sooner or later.

Paula also is a disaster, denying her daughter, If I were Bea should have done what Guzmancito does and never talk to her again, - pegging pardon on her knees- , she never should have done the denying at the first place and punto.

Corona de lágrimas I started to watch but gave it up around at the 20th episodes.They crushed my big expectations, Castro what have you done!!!
However I have a new favourite the La mujer del vendaval it'§s the newest in Mx. only about 40 episodes aired, but finally a strong prota who is not a crybaby, the main heroes has so much chemistry together they fire up the TV, the scheming hussies are wonderful - kudos Florencia de Saracho - and the whole thing just enjoyable, I'm affraid I won't get it here - I wish so hard they would - but Univision surely will get Colunga's horror next time :(
 

Madelaine - Fine recap. Love the title, my favorite Chris Isaak song. Sorry you upset your puppies so much. :D And you are a real trooper to cover Nell-Son's nonsense - "oh barf!!!...double barf" - lol.

Oooh, the writers are so sneaky. Am I the only one who first thought that JA was dreaming that he was waking up to Vickie dancing in his room? Instead he wasn't dreaming and it was Cris dancing cause she heard him asking for it in his sleep. Such an sweet, sexy scene. Vivi - ITA, with two dances in a row, Angel was a verrry lucky man that night.

Can't stand KendaHo, but loved her scamming Odiodette with the blank DVD.

Angel's goose is cooked with that DVD, but I'm still hoping that since Vickie was behind a screen most of the time that somehow she'll be saved. It's a shame that such a hilarious scene gets them in trouble. I laugh out loud each time they replay it.

Nikki is definitely playing a wicked game. I can see her immature self getting back at Guzmancito with this fake pregnancy, but the stress and guilt she's causing her mom is a shame. But the support Vickie is showing her should help with Nikki's self-esteem.
 

Floridia - You asked earlier about the second kidnapper. He's still alive. The last we saw him, he was in prison and Salsero got him to keep his mouth shut with a payment to his sick vieja.
 

Anon 2:39- I too hope Guzmi finds out about Nabila. I can't stand her and what she did is unforgivable.

Ann NYC- I think Bea and Salsero would make a good couple, only if Salsero stops the stuff with Kendho. I too think he will see her at Meta Imagen.

Susanlynn- so with you about what you said about Sunglasses. Bea does deserve a good guy.

Anon 3:04- So with you about the Leo beatdown. He needs one.

Anon 3:08- Wasn't Odiodette funny with the howl/scream. I loled so much and my poor puppies.

Carlos- Yeah no Bailey's but that convo was eerie. Ya know I thought for sure Odiodette was more evil that she is, but nah, not so much. Kendho is truely evil. I don't see how she can be redeemed, especially after that fire that almost burned Lili.
 

Anon 4:20- So agree with you about Guzmi, not being able to get a word in edgewise. Poor guy! They wouldn't even let him talk, or explain really. Just accusation after accusation!

Gringo- so agree with you about the facial expressions on Guzmi, Nikki, Bea and Pauwhiner. Pau Whiner is a crier, but boy is she good. Like I said before, this TN may be loose plot wise, but character wise, this is a gem.

Vida2- Agree with you about the couples but Nikki needs to grow up. I am hoping that Guzmi does that for her, helps her in other words. She does kinda listen to him, in a way.

Vivi- so agree with you about Kendho playing both sides and agree that she will be hung by her own pertard, so to speak. And agree about Angel being lucky, lol. Agree about Pau too, what a whiner, lol.
 

Anita- I know, I know. I'll give you my reasons why I still like Nikki, although I have to agree I am not much liking her right now. She covers for Guzmi every chance she gets and also for Angel. She doesn't have many good friends that try to show her the straight and narrow, she is spoiled rotten and she thinks she is better than everyone else. I hate what she is doing to Guzmi, but deep down, in that little black heart of hers, she knows she loves Guzmi, but isn't sure he is lovin' her back. She is jealous of the wife he has, we haven't seen her, or know who she is, and she wanted to help him when he was crying the other night. He wouldn't let her, and that pithed her off, but that being said this revenge of hers is too much. She wants him out of her life, so she won't feel the torment of her love for him anymore, but I feel if he does go, she will be tormented even more. The girl needs some therapy. She isn't trying to get back at her Mama, she loves her deeply, just at Guzmi for causing these feelings in her.
 

Vivi and Anon 9:48- I too agree with y'all about Pau Whiner and Bea, she should be feeling lucky that Bea is still speaking to her. Bea ought to cut her off until she acknowledges Bea and Frankie to everybody and be done with it. No more secrets, no more lies.

Floridia- Yes, I don't like Nikki much myself right now. The girl is young and stupid. She has no good role model her own age. Her Mama is wonderful as is Tomi, Polita and Jean Marie to her. She is spoiled rotten with too much time on her hands. She does need therapy, agree. What irks me is Guzmi has done so much for her. He took a bullet for her, for goodness sake. She does love him, no mistake there, but has trouble dealing with that, and her "body Issues". I think once she goes to therapy, if she goes, she will see all the rotten things she has done. Guzmi does love her too, but Nikki is killing it by playing this wicked game.
 

Irisz79- I too think this will come to bite Nikki in the patooty so to speak. She should have thought before she went along with this damaging scheme of hers. I too agree with you about Bea, she ought to cut PauWhiner off and not speak to her until she acknowledges who she is.

Neice in MD- So agree with you about Kendho and Odiodette, lol. I thought too at first Angel was dreaming about Ms Vikki too when he woke up and found it was Cris and not Ms Vikki dancing. I too hate what this preggers thingy is doing to Ms Vikki, Nikki thinks this is all a big joke, just to rid herself of Guzmi. She didn't take a look at what it would do to everyone around her.

About the DVD. I don't put much stock in these avances. They have fooled us more than once with them. I'm sure the DVD will rear it's ugly self, but who knows when? I just hope Ms Vikki and the Angel get to see it first, instead of Nilson, and what we know will be his fakey, outraged self!!!!!
 

Corona de Lagrimas- I admit I have watched it. I wanted to watch it for the youngest son, the one that works all the time and Afrika Zavla, who I really like. Too much crying, and I just couldn't get into the story. I watched maybe ten epis and gave up. It may not be my cup of tea, but y'all ought to check it out and find out for yourselves. Sometimes one dislike could have 20 likes, jus' sayin' : )
 

I was really hoping that Nilson's affair with Kendho would be outted first, instead of Ms Vikki and the Angel. They are fighting their attraction so much and Nilson, Mr Double Standard, it's all about him. Hated when he got all jealous about Angel. Nilson and Kendho make me sick! And Kendho is truly evil, she would rather Ms Vikki be killed. But as irisz79 said, what goes around comes around and maybe by the end of this TN Kendho will get exactly what she deserves.

Odiodette is kinda like a cartoon villan. I am still laughing about that scream, it was too funny and that look in her eyes, lol. She is almost like Boris Badinov from Rocky and Bullwinkle. lol
 

Niecie,

Thanks for responding to my question. I didn't ask it properly. I know about the guy in jail, but wasn't the other one killed? Did Salsero murder him?
Or was he murdered by someone else for the money?

Vivi - been meaning to tell you I like the idea of Baileys and hot chocolate. As you probably know, tomorrow is El Gran Final of Corazon Valiente. I plan to watch it. I cannot stand what writers did to that novela; what a horror show! I didn't watch it
for several weeks - simply used the FF button on my recorder and looked at the last scene with little satisfaction - each time another person kidnapped or in the dungeon for the third or fourth time.

Enjoy all comments ..
Happy New Year a Todos.....
 

Floridia- No Salsero didn't murder Archie, himself. We don't know who bumped him off. We know for sure that Salsero gave Espanto the beatdown and is now in jail blackmailing Salsero. The police seem to think that Arichie was bumped off in a robbery, the money that he got from the kidnapping, hasn't appeared again. The only money that Salsero got was from Espanto. We will have to wait and see if Salsero bumped off Archie.
 

Floridia- The hot chocolate was delicious. I still can't believe such blatant advertising worked on me. :) I also plan on watching the CV grand final, and ditto everything you said about it. I stopped watching a LONG time ago, but watched this past week's episodes, with heavy use of the FF button.
 

Madelaine,

How Funny! What a great analogy - Boris Badinov, the eastern European villain! Oh so many years ago, I loved Rocky & Bulwinkle when my children were very young. You probably watched it as a child; I watched it as a mom. Now it's just dawning on me - Boris Bad Enough.
It reminds me of the time when Barack Obama called Hilary Clinton "Likeable Enough."
 

Thank you Madelaine---so enjoyed your recap. This one was important and informative as so much happened Friday noche/night.

For awhile it looked like spoiled brat Nikki was starting to mellow out a bit but after Friday's chapter, it looks like she is back to her old tricks again. How is she going to get out of this one?

Poor Guzman, this guy just can't win. First he is abandoned by his mother at a young age and now that he is grown and starting to fall in love he is accused of getting Nikki pregnant. The Guzmancito looked like he had been hit with a ton of bricks. WHAT--PREGNANT--ME??

Don't these rich girls know that people are not toys, that people have feelings and a lot of harm can come from devious deeds.
It will take a long time for Guzman to trust Nikki after this.

Things are getting interesting on many levels---Nikki and Guzman, Paula and her long hidden affair with Anaibal about to be revealed, Bea and her no good abusive husband and now a possible new love, Vickie and Odette, KendHo and Odette, and I kinda get the feeling that something may start to develop with Little Orchid soon.

With all these things developing---there's going to be an explosion on Monday when the dvd is played. Can't wait.

Gotta say I'm with you Anon 9:52, I am really enjoying Corona de Lagrimas, especially Ernesto LaGuardia's performance. Yep, lots of tears and not much humor in it, but plenty of high drama.
Clara
P.S. Watching CdL "alone" has made me aware of how much I rely on Caray to back me up on what I miss. Thanks guys!
 

Madelaine,

"The girl needs some therapy."

And that's about the only thing that I'm not enjoying about Nikki. Bulemia is a serious medical condition and I wish that the writers had not afflicted her (and us as well) with it.

Her selfishness, her shallowness, her silliness... these are the endearing characteristics that make our Nikki such fun. The way she is handling this pregnancy thing is sooo Nikki. Yes, it's very troubling to Vikki, but Vikki is actually responsible for her own suffering over this. Nikki didn't create the pregnancy, Vikki jumped to some wrong conclusions and confirmed them with a very unreliable reliable source... Nabila.

Other girls might be crushed and immediately go on defense with tearful denials. Not our Nikki.

Poor Nikki is living in a lonely little world not entirely of her own creation. Her parents are loving and have given her everything except that the she most desires and needs... their time and guidance. She has developed unusual and unhealthy but remarkably effective coping and survival skills.

This pregnancy thing is already paying dividends... she is getting Frankie's goat and has captured her mother's complete attention.

Though I could go on and on about what a complex and fascinating character Nikki is, I know that my defense of this naughty child has already annoyed most of you way too much already.

Vivi,

Bailey's and hot chocolate... perfect.

Carlos
 

Thanks for the recap Madeline. This one was especially priceless. Oh how I love "Odiodette." Thanks for that one.

Can't stand to watch Lagrimas either. I think Vicki Ruffo is a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, the only "acting" she is capable of is crying. I've seen her in a lot of roles and she's the Grand Champion Llorona of Televisa.

Likewise, the actress who plays Paula Whiner seems incapable of doing much else but crying. How dumb do you have to be to put up with Anibal for 20 years???

I'm totally harta de Nikki. I want to slap her into next week, but she's acting like a sick puppy with an eating disorder which she is, and Vicki continues to spoil her rotten. I could keep ranting about her, but I'll spare everyone else.

Despite my own whining, I love this novela and wouldn't think of missing even one episode.
 

Nikki - bah! With this charade she is: 1. trying to get rid of Guzmi; and 2. taking possession of him in front of Nabila - who we know has already "had" Nelson. Neither of these girls are right. It reminds me of what my mama always said about being careful of who you hang with...

However, at last Cris may actually have something to truly go on about. She is always so quick to doubt JA and give him loads of grief. I can't see that they have much of a marriage. That is no partnership. I think she wants him for sex but has no respect for him at all. Kind of like her daddy - it's an "ownership thing".

Bea and Salsero is interesting. I think they make a great couple but he is so bad... If she married Leo - then maybe she has a subconscious thing for bad boys.

Mondays episode should be way entertaining.
 

Madelaine - Thank you for the recap. Love the recap title (Chris Isaak fan here) as well as grew up with The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show. :-) Poor Guzmancito probably wishes he could step into Mr. Peabody's WayBack machine right now.

 

I wish I had some hot chocolate....and Bailey's. Alas, I have neither. Que lastima.
 

Carlos- I am sure at some point down the road Niki will earn the love you have for her. She is one of our two main heroines, after all.

But for now, I just can’t give her a pass on her bad behavior. We have seen no evidence that Vicky neglected her. In fact, given that she runs a huge multi-million dollar company, I’d say Vicky did an amazing job balancing home, marriage, child, and work. She’s certainly done a much better job than most people do, with less stressful jobs. We have seen Nelson’s neglect. He and Anibal give her goods and presents, if not always their presence. But that’s no reason, in my mind, for her to be riddled with such a sense of being unloved and unworthy. In addition to Vicky, she has a second mom in Tomasina, and a house filled with people/workers who love her, for some indiscernible reason.

A person can come from a loving home with lots of attention, and still have an eating disorder. Just like someone can have low self esteem and come from a loving/supportive home. Vicky has a healthy body and doesn’t seem to have body image issues. So it’s not coming from there. Often it’s about having control of one’s life. The person with the eating disorder often feels food/weight are the only things they can control. I think this is Niki’s case. There’s no doubt she needs a psychologist to deal with her issues, but I don’t think she can blame any of her issues on her parents or home life. So it bugs me when she manipulates Vicky and makes her feel guilty. The only thing I blame Vicky for is not seeing the signs of an eating disorder. She works with models. She should be aware of this stuff!

It bugs me when Niki butts into Guzman’s life (jumping to conclusions about who Bea is; trying to get him fired; etc.), but she gets so upset about him butting into her life (really he’s just doing his JOB). It bugs me that she doesn’t understand that she can’t just go around kissing Guzman and vice versa, and that’s why he rejects her, because it could cost him his JOB. She’s a 20-something yr old woman-- not a child. She should understand this stuff. I was hoping the kidnapping would help her grow up, but, nope.

 

Ummm, so Vivi, I guess you won't be wanting to join me in forming a Nikki support group?

Carlos
 

LOL Carlos! Maybe some day...
 

Madelaine - Odiodette = Boris Badinov - lol. All she needs is the moustache.

I was hoping to see more of Odiodette's son. He seemed like a nice (but brow-beaten) guy, but I don't think he's had a scene since the first week.

Nabila seems to realize Nikki has body image problems. Miss Smirky has found several ways to bring up weight with Nikki, causing the poor girl to turn down eating a sandwich and fret about a bikini. I wish Nikki would turn her scamming powers on Nabila, instead of Guzman.
 

Floridia- Yes, I watched it as a small kid and just loved that show. My daughter loves Rocky and Bullwinkle too. Odiodette just looks like Boris and acts like him too. His mis planes never worked out either : )

Gringo- so agree about Poor Guzmi. It's like a ton of bricks hit him all at once. I think he'll find a way to overcome, though.

Clara- you are so welcome. I am glad you like CdLag.


 

Carlos-- Couldn't agree more with you about the bulimia. It is serious and I wish she would get help. I don't want her to be near her deathbed, before she gets help.I hate what she is doing to herself. I really think that Guzmi will be the one to make her see that. That being said, I'm with Vivi and everything she said about Nikki and Ms Vikki. I remember an epi a little while ago, where Nikki was practically begging Snappi Papi to spend more time with her and he gave her a look of disdain. That pithed me off. For me to like Nikki, like I did in the beginning, she has got to quit with the games.
 

Dona Gringuita-- The actress that plays PauWhiner, was really good in CS 2009. She had moxey there and she cried too, but not as much. I want Pau Whiner to stand up on her own two feet, fess up and not to mess with Cristina. I want Anibal to find out Cristina is his daughter, which Pau Whiner already knows.

Teresita-- Interesting point about Anibal and Cristina, they are alot alike from what we have seen so far. I can't wait for them to find out they are father and daughter. He already seems to like Cris as she is, but don't like the little thoughts he has about her keeping her mouth shut about PauWhiner.

Doris-- Mr Peabody's WayBack machine, lol. I liked him too!! I too think Guzmi could benefit from that, lol.
 

Vivi- spot on for what you said about Nikki and Ms Vikki. You said it way better than I could have and totally agree with everything you said about them, amiga : )

Niece in MD-- Yeah, I wondered what happened to Estefano, Odiodette's son. He does look brow beaten, he seems not to buy what she is selling. I hope they show more of him. Had to laugh out loud about Odiodette with a 'stache, lol.
 

Thanks Madelaine! This tn is really fun. I get to laugh watching it, and more reading about it. Love the dogs.
Here's my stab at a nickname for Leo - Low.
 

Janet- Welcome, yes this TN is alot of fun and thanks for the nickname for Leo : )
