Amor Bravío #124 (Uni 119) Mon 2/11/13
Iago: You are a sentimental idiot.
Pablo: You are worse than I thought. If your own child is of no importance to you, my nephew is important to me. I swear to you, Iago, someday you'll pay for this.
Labels: bravio
I mean, really!
Whew! What an episode. So it's Rocio who collapses from bad news, not Miriam. Bad times ahead for the Alberrans.
A correction-- saying "cuidarse" is the same as saying using protection-- Iliana was scolding Yago for having sex with Natalia without using protection. Clearly she understands how not to get pregnant (she should have a chat with Nat). I'm guessing she's on the pill.
I enjoyed Cami telling Dan and Mariano to chill out when they started butting heads like two bulls fighting over la hembra. I was glad to see Dan have to apologize for his caveman behavior, especially when, as she said, Cami has WAY more reason to be feeling jealousy at the moment. I did appreciate Dan verbalizing why he was feeling so jealous, but tough dude. Suck it up.
Funny, I think the baby looks more like Camila than she does Dan or Miriam.
It took one episode for everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, to learn that Nat is pregnant and Yago is denying paternity. Will being rejected by him brutally, twice in two days, finally make Nat accept reality?
I'm going to have to watch that final scene with Abe and Dan again, because I don't recall Abe telling Dan he should give Miriam a chance to decide to break up with him. It seems he wasn't giving Dan an out-- give my sister her proper place as your wife and mother of your child since she nearly died because of you and she loves you, and forget Camila.
I can’t believe we broke 200 comments on this weekend’s recap! That’s more than I’ve seen on a finale recap. Didn’t know you can’t view more than 199 comments on one page. Obviously the writers have done a good job to generate so much debate.
As Vivi mentioned; Abe pretty much told Dan to get over Cam and treat his sister properly as his wife and the mother of his child and laid on pretty thick the guilt trip on Dan by reminding him that Miriam nearly died because of him and to find out he no longer loves her will destroy her. My poor Dan--what to do?
Miriam is only concerned about having sex with Dan--at least she's got her priorities straight.
Poor Rodo, you deserve a better woman with dignity ...
Amanda doesn't deserve such airhead of a daughter -- I wanted to lock up Nat in the broom closet until she's seen the light.
Thank goodness the cut out the mating ritual of Dio & Isa--viewerville might collectively suffer from Rocio's illness.
I know Rocio is a bitch; I kinda sorta felt sorry for her when Cayetonto told her he regretted loving her--that was a low blow.
Mariano had no business running over LMQ to tell Cam about the current events; the news has no impact on Cam whatsoever; he was just being a metiche and wanted Cam to know what a upstanding guy he is blah blah blah ... the correct thing for him to do was to either call Nat himself or drive over to the hotel and talk to her and her mom ...
Myo-
ITA w/Vivi that it was quite an episode. Unfortunately for me the actress playing Rocio's stroke was a bit over the top and left me LOLing.
Though I don't condone insane TN jealousy, Mariano is dubious. For me its that bad TN plot device of having the male or female protagonist turn to the one person the love of his/her life cannot stand.
I'm not sure about about Nat denial. If she popped up next episode stilling believing in Iago, I would be saddened but not surprise. Glad that the rational thinking adults won't try to force Iago to marry Nat but I'm thinking Dio may have other plans.
Since the doc gave Miriam the OK, why do I think (its a guess) one of the other two tesst may be really serious? Instead of sex, Miriam may be getting a reality anvil.
I loved it when an out-of-breath Hissadora told Cayetonto "I just ran up the stairs." I think the telenovela writers have given us a new euphemism.
I was really pleased when Camila points out to Mariano that a shotgun marriage isn't a good idea to resolve Natalia's pregnancy, and he agrees.
I was somewhat confused by Dio's advice to Hissadora that she should "Have [Cayetano] cede control of his assets if only for a few months." Didn't Cayetonto already arrange to do exactly that?
One more question: in the avances, what did the doctor tell Luzma about her baby's heart?
Myo - yeah, I also had a WTQ moment when I read that Mariano was going over to the MQ to talk about Nat with Camila. Um, why don't you go talk to the people that are actually involved?
Cayetano. Way to be a great dad: hand off crazy-huge family situations to your son to "handle it" when it's about your other son being a dad, all while ur off marrying someone everyone in your family and beyond has warned u against. You get a #1 dad hat...or a beanie.
Vivi-I agree. Reading about the Dan/Mariano hospital confrontation, I'm surprised Cami didn't give it to him more. I can't believe he would seriously go off on Mariano in a hospital about that crap. I get the jealousy, but u have the whole ranch tiptoeing around ur wife and ur exploding on Cam's friends in the middle of hospitals? Find a gym and a punching bag to work out those glorious, beautiful biceps...I mean, frustrations. (Sorry, mind drifted there).
Not expecting the Rocio stroke (like Vivi, I kept thinking that was going to be a Mir thing). If the slots slide into place, maybe Mir and Rocio will commiserate over other women "taking" their husbands or she and Mariano wil commiserate over losing spouses/loves. Plus, Ana's gonna be all over that baby (until it poops). Meanwhile Dante and Teresa's scheming just looks like a lot of time for them to spend together...
PS: Also, what's Illy game plan with this? I don't get it. Did seeing it make it clearer?
Mariano said it would be easier for Nat and Amanda to speak with a woman about this issue, and that was his excuse for bringing Cami into the mix to serve as a female go-between for him and his dad with Nat and her mom. Yes, he is looking for any excuse to see Cam but it made a certain amount of sense.
I'm not liking where this tn is going....I like Camila happy and jumping into Dan's arms and wrapping her legs around him, kissing him on the forehead and fiddling with his hair. I don't like her upset and sad and separated from him. The scene with Baby Agatha tore me up.
In a way I'm glad Mariano is there for her, he does understand her and he is an understanding person. Dan's going to be between a rock and a hard place for quite awhile, but getting p.o'd at Mariano in a public place is a no-no. It's probably a good indication that his nerves are frayed. He has to juggle Miriam/baby, Camila, Dio/Isa, Abe, Gussie and Natalia and keep them all in the air and twirling without hitting each other.
BTW, UA-- in your dialog between Dionicio and Isa you said: >>Therefore, press him to comply. Have him cede control of his assets if only for a few months.>>
I'm pretty sure Cayetano already turned over control of his assets to Isa for 6 months (little does he know he probably won't get to see them come back to him, or Black Widow Hissavibora is not her name).
Dio was worried that Rocio's stroke could put off the wedding for so long that they might run out of time and she'd have to tear up the agreement. He wants Isa to pressure him not to delay the wedding. And this was to be done by continuing to poison his soul against Rocio. There's obvio no one better up to the job than Isa!!
Best quotes from the recap for me were:
>>Bratgirl excuses herself from the table wishing them a good meal [as though that were even possible now].
>>Rocio is on her cell talking to the brick wall that is Cayetano about Hissadora and her greed.
>>Bratgirl shows up with her pseudo cleavage and real sour puss.
>>She points out that if he were to get Miriam, Daniel will be with Camila that leaves Mariano free for her to pursue. [Is this a novela or a Seinfeld episode?].
- ugh, the way he calls her, "mi mujer" -_- like he owns her. oh, & such audacity to call her that when his wife is in another room getting her health checked by the doctors, but clearly, he could care less, huh? it's like he wants to get rid of her so badly by making sure she's in good condition to be told some bad news & then get her out of his way just to get what he wants. and in the other episode when he tells cami that the thing he misses most is their "intimacy"...i was like, blah! i could go on & on, but i think that's enough for today. :)
I think Caridad might figure out what is going on even faster than Miriam.
“Is this a novela or a Seinfeld episode?” Ha! I’m starting to wish it was a Seinfeld episode. At least it’d be funnier and over quicker.
“We regret to tell you this again, Mariano, but nothing will ever be normal again in your family.” Hmm. It seems that Mariano has a touch of that denial disease that’s been going around.
Good point, Myo, about Mariano running over to Camila with the dirt on Yago and Nat. As a plot device, it got the news to Cam and put her in position to go to the hospital with him and then to bump into Dan there. It was necessary to keep things moving along.
Um, UA, no more pictures of Isa and Dio in bed. Pretty please? *oy, my eyes, my eyes*
Did anyone catch what Mariano said to Dan immediately after he said he’d break his face? There was a commercial, and then it started again with M’s answer, but I couldn’t understand it.
Poor, silly, naïve Natalia. At least she wound up in Rudy’s arms for now.
I also am confused about whether Cayo has actually ceded the BA to Isa or only promised to do so. Or if it has happened, but Isa has for some reason not told Dio the truth. Never put that past her.
If we are going to give Cayo awards for being a great dad, surely blaming all of the family’s problems on his soon to be ex-wife should get him a blue ribbon.
Illy has no game plan that makes any sense to me and never has. However, I also got a good laugh out of her ‘bueno aprovecho’ after the liciendo terrier had just torn up the whole dining room.
Thanks, UA, for a prompt and entertaining recap of what was to me a complicated and action packed episode.
I think I will just repeat that I think the topic of Miriam and Camila's response to her presence is one on which reasonable minds can disagree. I think the writers of this TN deserve heaps of credit for making us all care so much about it.
And I will be completely honest that I don't like Miriam and never have. Such a prissy sissy of a rich city girl just is not my type. What others see as sweetness seems cloying and phony to me. She is way too one dimensional to be believable. And she is just a tv character and I don't have to like her or be fair to her. :-) Of course, I really don't like her role as interloper between Dan and Camila, who I want to be happy.
That is all.
For now. :)
Spare me the sympathetic point of view of how much tension he's under because he has to juggle so many situations. A little truth would clear the air.
And ladies, beware a man who tells you who can be your friends and who you can confide in. RUN, don't walk from that slave owner mentality.
omg, someone else who agrees with me! yay! it's me again, not-a-dan-fan. :)
yes, dan is a d*ck. and i like ur attitude - "spare me [the drama]!" - like, totally not so different from mine! yeah, boo-hoo! "it's not his fault!" - whatever! he's making the same mistake again - not telling the truth! just 'cuz he's tryin' to "protect" the wife like he did last time w/ cami. ugh, just get it over with 'cuz no matter what u do, she's gonna come out hurt anyways. now, who agrees???
Dan: Didn't he tell you that I was married to Camila and we were on our honeymoon?
Abe: No, I if I knew that, I wouldn't have come here with Miriam. I would never expose her to this on purpose. So, when I saw you were so surprised I knew there was something going on. I saw your wedding ring and Camila's and--
Dan: You didn't have to be a policeman to figure it out.
Abe: That's why I had to run and tell you that Miriam wasn't well. I realized at that point that I couldn't trust him and my mistrust got bigger when I found out that the man that shot Miriam worked for him.
And this is their conversation as the episode ends:
Abe: Your behavior with Camila. You love that woman.
Dan: Of course I love her. Why wouldn't I if she's my wife?
Abe: Miriam is your wife too. Look-- I thought that if you were everyday with my sister, your love for her would come back and you could understand that Camila doesn't fit in your heart or your life.
Dan: Abraham, I wish things could be that easy but they're not.
Abe: You better decide what your feelings are soon, before I go. I won't leave my sister in this situation.
Dan: What you have to do is go to Chile and fix the problem you got me into.
Abe: Yes but I won't leave my sister alone knowing that you're gonna break her heart. That's what you're gonna do if you decide to stay with Camila, you're gonna break Miriam's heart forever if you don't chose to be with her and with your daughter. Give my sister the place that she deserves in your life, she's like this because of your inheritance, that's the reason of her pain and agony.
Per your question re the hallway convo: "Jamás la expondría a algo como eso." Abe says if he'd known Dan had remarried hed never have exposed his sister to something like that.
Loved these!
"She flashes the rock and gloats as she exits on the musical flourish. Bitch." --Yep. Short and sweet, UA. Loved that! Very good snark and here are some of my favs.
"Rocio is on her cell talking to the brick wall that is Cayetano about Hissadora and her greed."
"Bratgirl shows up with her pseudo cleavage and real sour puss." LOL!
[Acme prepares another anvil for shipment to Metepec.]
Go, Teresa! In defense of Teresa, she's putting into deeds what Mariano was always pushing Pablo to do: fight for the one you love. She has been the good soldier here, as well, and has been the legal support in Chile for Dan at her brother the priest's request; so I think she'll show in the end that her "fight" was worth the effort. She's also the pragmatist here and can see that, like she tells Dante, Dan and Cam are solid, and Miriam is essentially the ex- here; he needs to clarify with Dan that it's alright to pursue Mir and why. Crap happens in life, so roll through the downward flow and deal!
As for Abe's self-justification that if it weren't for Don Daniel bequeathing him that ranch, Miriam would never have been hurt to begin with, there's the parting zinger which finally puts the blame on both sides, whether you're on team Miriam/Abe or team Daniel/Cam. It's like which came first, the chicken or the egg. I say the egg, cuz Abe didn't have to abuse his power afterwards by falsely imprisoning and then mentally torturing Dan the way he did after Mir was shot.
Bratgirl has no game. She started out pursuing Pablo and sensibly gave up. Iago is more suitable for her in view of both their attitudes, but it looks like she would prefer someone with more common sense. Now, if I recall correctly her mother told her the last time they were skyping that their financial situation has improved a bit, so she should just get the hell out of La Buenaventura.
I thought she might be Hissadora's next protege, but I don't think Hissadora will want to take that risk.
Mariano looked for an excuse to see Camila with regard to the Nat situation. BTW, does he know that Natalia is the devil's daughter? Iago knows and he's not scared shytless?
I think we're entering the point at which the writers knew they needed to provide 20 more episodes. This whole jealousy thing is otherwise out of left field. He should prioritize telling Mariano what he heard from Eleuterio.
I truly think that Abe isn't happy about what he did; it meant that he misjudged Daniel and his cop instincts were more like paranoia. The truth could not only wreck his police career it could alienate Miriam from him. Those are the last things he wants or needs. He is not looking forward to the revelation, which becomes a bigger and bigger risk if they stay in Mexico. If Daniel were to return to Chile with Miriam that would give Abe time to clean matters up, but he doesn't seem to realize that this would not put a permanent cap on the truth.
However, Dan is right; none of this is that simple. He's been with Camila all this time and fell in love with her despite his previous misconceptions and in the belief that Miriam was dead. You can't turn that off like a faucet.
Abe may not get that because maybe he's never been in love?
Other people have observed that Dan's heart belongs to Camila now. His wardrobe change should also be a clue. How about when he did the sign of the cross on Miriam before her exam?
As to the censorship, the edit was a panning shot of the clothes on the floor leading to the side of the bed and about 3 seconds of heavy breathing before Hissadora answered the phone. The screenshot was the moment she said "sorry" to Cayetonto and was included for the eyeroll.
I promise there will be no more screen shots of these two in a compromising situation unless I catch the hypothetical future scene of Gussie making this discovery. That should be both hilarious and pathetic.
Dan: Take your hands off my wife or I'll hit you in the face! [break your face]
Mariano: Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?
Dan: Camila is my wife and I don't see why you have to hug her in public like that. Why are you here hugging Mariano?
Camila: It's not the place or the time for you to do a scene because you're jealous.
D: Yes, it is.
C: No, it's not.
D: Yes, it is because Mariano is using any excuse to take advantage of you.
M: I would never take advantage of any situation! I'm not like you.
D: You're gonna deny that you want my wife?
M: No, I won't deny it and she knows it but she also knows that if she's with you I would never make a move. I already know she'll never accept something like that.
C: Can you both calm down? What's wrong with you? Your jealousy or your scolding (reclamos) are so out of place. If there is someone who should/could make a scene, it's me. I DO have reasons, Daniel. Plenty of them! And you know why I don't make a scene? Because I trust you. Pu-leez! (Hazme el favor!)
D: What's going on isn't my fault--
C: Ah! It’s not???
D: No, is not. I trust you too.
C: Well, it doesn’t seem like it.
D: I apologize. I didn't expect to find you hugging like that so, I'm sorry.
M: Don't talk to Camila or me like that again. If I'm holding myself back, it’s because of where we are.
D: Well, calm down because I already apologized. Like I said, I didn't expect to find both of you like that.
C: If you found us like that, it’s because the doctor just told us that Mariano's mother had a stroke. You do know what it is, right?
D: Yes. I'm sorry. I didn't know what happened to your mother, Mariano. I apologize for my behavior and I'm really sorry.
M: Alright. [phone rings] It's my father, excuse me. Dad!
D: Seriously, I feel bad. I can't stand to see you with Mariano.
C: Mariano is my friend and you know it.
D: Yes but he's a friend that's in love with you.
C: I won't stop being his friend because of that. He's always been very supportive, whether you believe or not.
D: You don't need anybody's support but mine.
C: What are you talking about?! You think that what I'm going through with you is easy? Do you know how it feels like to have your daughter and Miriam living under the same roof? It's not easy. I'm sorry, and I can't talk to you about it because it's a complicated situation for you too.
D: Exactly. For that reason you should rely on and talk to Rafa or talk to Vivi, but not to Mariano.
C: Are you being serious about what you’re asking me? I don't think so. That way you can feel better, right?
D: How can I feel better? I can't stand to see you with Mariano-- I'm jealous.
C: I'm sorry, I won't stop being Mariano's friend because you get jealous or insecure--
D: It's not jealousy or insecurity. It's fear. I'm scared that you’ll get tired of the situation and run away and in the meantime (on your path/road—en el camino), Mariano can offer you what I can't offer you right now, today. That's why I reacted like that, I'm sorry. I don't want to lose you.
C: I also don’t want to leave you, but I’m not dealing with this well, Daniel. Instead of insulting Mariano, you should be thankful that he's with me, he's supportive of me.
[Mariano returns and the conversation ends.]
Someone mentioned previously that the Mexican audience didn't like Mariano so we should not worry about the risk of Camila ending up with him.
The feed is not perfect. I cleaned it up where it went wonky.
Carolina - I'm with you on the Tolentino/Irene train. Glad he's finally getting over the Luzma infatuation and Irene can get her own love life and stop being Luzma's wingwoman. That should give more support to the Luzma/Nat friendship. Nat def needs to see someone else dealing with a difficult pregnancy well, with strength and dignity. Less so with the Miriam thing. I don't want her getting between Cam/Dan, but I don't actively dislike her. I want her gone, but hurt as little as possible in the process.
I am a Dan fan in the sense that I get crazy exasperated with the way he handles a LOT of things, but I do want him to be happy and with Camila at the end of things. But I agree with the Anons: all of what Cami laid on him needed to be said. I can actually understand his need to protect Miriam right now (we'll see how long that holds up though...). I think it would be irresponsible of him to play with her life just because he wants to build one with Camila, so I'm glad he's getting her thoroughly checked out first. When he was lying to Cami, he was just trying to protect his own skin after he got caught in his own web of lies. He made/makes Cam happy and started the crazy web of lies based on misinformation (and a desire to not be thrown back in jail/find out who killed his wife), so I can forgive-if-not-forget it like Cami, but he was definitely in the wrong there. And I'm glad Camila had the same exasperated reaction to his more ridiculous comments i.e. "You don't need anybody's support but mine."?! WTQ?! Dan, sweetie,we love you, but if you say madness like that again, you're looking to get smacked upside the head. Glad she called him out on that.
Interesting, I hadn't heard that the Mexican audience had issues with Mariano. As Vivi said, we have so many posts, I can't keep up. It's great!
It's all been said, so I'll just add a note to your point that Isadora and Dio in bed should not engage the censors' interest. In fast, it does not engage any of viewerville's interest. These two just don't cut it in the steamy department.
Anon 2:11: "Mujer" also means wife when used in the context that Dan used.
Vivi: Thanks for the full translation of the final scene. I thought that Abe was telling Dan to "forget that woman." I thought that he was referring to Cam as "ese mujer." So when Dan said "mi mujer," he was saying "my wife." However Abe's usage of "ese mujer" meant "that woman." (Es correcto? Si o no?)
Abe is a bit high-handed making demands on Dan,
imho. If Abe had been upstanding, Dan really would have been by Mir's side the whole time. Abe's lie and injustices propelled Dan to LMQ. Dan should remind him of that.
" [Is this a novela or a Seinfeld episode?]" That was an absolutely hilarious aside. I wondered when you had struck out the "Upper West Side" what the heck you were up to.
BratGirl is proving too much of a loose cannon without any real ammo. I doubt Hiss would have any use for her at this point. But I also don't think they will send her home to BratMom any time soon because she's useful to stir things up.
To the Anon Dan-bashing club, I agree, Dan is looking a bit like a d_ck (not a duck). But, who wouldn't be under the circumstances. He's only human and entre la espada y la pared, de verdad. Thanks ViviDC for posting the GatoViejo translation. It points up the poignancy of his tricky situation. On re-reading, I realize my limited Spanish deprives me of so much nuance. If I had the time, I would watch it a second time. I did feel much sympathy for him and Miriam in the scene where he gave her a Catholic blessing.
And, finally, "my eyes, my eyes"! I saw way more of Cesar Evora than I ever want to. Ever! If he wants to play a sexy devil, then he should lose weight, work out and get a tan. I didn't think telenovelas went in for such stark verismo. Although the idea of such a scene with Gussie tickles my funnybone.
—AgnesNJ
Anita, muchas gracias for confirming for me that Cayetano did already sign over his property "temporarily" to Hissadora, and how Dio's statement makes sense.
netgirl, you beat me to it. I was about to say something very similar about Abe's guilt-tripping Dan at the end. Que chutzpah!
Cesar Evora should definitely lose weight; he's not too old to look sexy. Wonder how he felt when he saw the playback .
Well, as much as I have liked Dan, I have to agree with the Anons that his behavior towards Cami and Mariano was way out there. What I especially didn't like that he said to Cami was, "You don't need anybody's support but mine." I would run, not walk, away from a man like that unless he seriously changed his attitude. I mean he's telling her who she should go to (Vivi and Rafa), but even so according to him, she doesn't need anyone but him. Really?!!! So then when are you, Dan, going to tell the truth to Miriam and be there for Camila? If I were Cami, I would take a giant step back from this one. I don't see anything odd about Mariano telling Cami about Natalia. He knows they're close, and yes, it is an opportunity to see her when she's needing all the friends she can get.
And as for Abe, I was starting to somewhat like him, but now he's blaming it all on Dan's inheritance? What about his lies and false accusations?
I took the jealousy episode as a pivotal moment for Dan to realize that he is more in love with Cam than Miriam, but I think it will sink in when he has to talk to Miriam about the circumstances. Is Abe really going to go back to Chile before Miriam is told the truth? He needs to be there to face her wrath for what he's done.
As to showing us Dion and Isa in bed, I believe it's done to get us to keep up our disgust of them.
Interesting that Rocio's stroke is going to postpone the trip. Maybe Caye will want to postpone the wedding until after the 6 months is up for the deed transfer. If that happens, Isa may panic and sell the land for the tourist development before she doesn't own it anymore.
I was laughing at how fast the Natalia pregnancy news traveled. Every member of the cast was aware of it by the end. lol. If I were Nat, I'd be so embarrassed.
Abe being shocked about the look on Dan's face when he saw Miriam!!!!!!!???? What a gilipollas, the pinga told Dan she was dead, he didn't expect him to be impactado?
I have never been able to figure out why Ileana is there. No one seems to even like her except Rocio who thought she could distract Pablo from Luzma. I think the writers just put her in there in case they might need her later. Maybe she has some important part later.
I have to go watch Dan's rant since I fell asleep. Pobre Dan & Cam, they are on tenterhooks.
A while back I asked the hypothetical question of which of those two would help take care of Rocio if anything were to happen to her. We may soon get that answer.
Variopinta - LOL what do "gilipollas" and "the pinga" mean. I definitely understood you're meaning, but I'd love a translation because I might have you use those in the future!
in Mexico, it is not considered "correct" for an unattached young lady to be a houseguest in any home while another woman is not present. As soon as Rocio and Refugio left, she should have left, too. Ana is too young to be considered as a chaperone for Bratgirl in an hacienda with just men.
Lurker in AZ
She should have been kicked out when her actions resulted in Luzma being raped in the first place. I don't detect any sense of guilt about that.
I didn't mention this before but Mariano getting involved in the Iago/Natalia drama is about his sense of family responsibility and pride. He has a much cooler head than his father and is better able to handle this situation. After Hissadora really starts working on Cayetonto he will be the only one who can affect this situation.
He needs to know that Hissadora killed Padre Baldomero (where are those autopsy results?) and that she killed Alonso and Ximena. At this point he is the only one who can protect his family.
The Prez is on at 9PM EST
Comcrap shows
Amores Verderes from 8:30 to 9:30 & then TBD. What happened to TBA? No Amor Bravio. Anyone have sth different?
Dan is not a hot-headed guy so seeing him immediately escalate to saying he would break Mariano's face when he saw the embrace - IN A HOSPITAL - just didn't ring true for me. Maybe that was the writer's way of showing how much he loves Camila, as opposed to Miriam. He wouldn't get uptight seeing Dante embrace Miriam.
I too love Irene and Tolentino together. They have a sweet chemistry.
Hmmm, Miriam has two more tests to go. Maybe the doctor should've waited for all the tests results before giving her a report?
The new FC is supposed to start on 3/11 at 8PM. I hope that one can hold my interest when it comes up.
I think we can all agree that this is a really good show, and that there needs to be a shirtless Rodolfo scene.
Kelly
The sad love song you mentioned. Is it Mil Vidas? If so, my guess would be that the female voice is Fernanda Castillo (Vivi) since she has sung it on stage with him before.
Missed last's nights ep (still coming down from my DA high and was very tired). Your recap is greatly appreciated, as are the comments, so I can understand what went down. Will be watching it tonight. Might use the Spanish subtitles since I know what's going on. It usually distracts me too much from the action otherwise.
Great discussion over the weekend re: Miriam/Cam/Dan situation.
Re: Dan. Lot's of people never cared for Jeronimo in CME. I liked him--for the most part. Dan seems to be generating the same kind of reactions.
Finally, thanks to everyone for the kind remarks regarding my list.
Nanette
Related to the llamada de la sangre thing, one could believe that she would know. Some women seem to know the moment they conceive and Agatha may have been one of them.
I agree about him being relatively level-headed. Hot heads are very easy to play, so this is more of an acting challenge.
Rodolfo does need a shirtless scene; El Diablo needs a diet.
I hope we get an episode tonight because I am eager to see El Diablo go after Iago with both barrels.
Anon 2:11: I meant to get a discussion going around the word "intimidad", so thanks for bringing it up. When Dan said to Cam that he misses their intimacy, he wasn't just talking about sex. It's that plus their alone time, touching, cuddling, talking, sharing, feeling connected to each other. Cam's put up a wall and is not allowing any of that right now.
Thanks again UA for an excellent recap. These recaps certainly must take so much of your time, so thanks to all of the recappers! It takes up my time to just watch and comment, so you (recappers) are really committed! Thanks again!
Thanks Karen, Hellashelle, and Juanita for concurring. I learned that "mujer" distinction a while ago, and had long conversations with my friends about it. I've also learned that in some places in the world, the use of "esposo" for husband is better than "marido." Por ejemplo, there are differences in Mexico, Colombia, and Panama.
Now back to the story. I felt sorry for Dan. I understand his feelings of jealously, and like ViviDC, I too was happy to see Dan communicate his feelings verbally (points there!) He really is, as a recapper put in a previous title, between a hard rock and an even harder place!
I totally understand his not wanting Cam to see Mariano. Mariano is in love with her, he can offer stability, and he is her friend. People marry friends all of the time. And we have to remember, that Cami married Alonso because, at the time, he was her friend and was "there for her" even though she wasn't really in love with him. So she has a track record of marrying a "friend."
If I were dating a man who got angry and violent and bullied people the way that Dan has repeatedly, I would RUN, not walk away from him. To me, it would be a gigantic red flag. He has nice manners in general and has been respectful of women, young and old. But that does not negate the fact that he has exploded with anger at various other people, again and again. Maybe some would find that acceptable, but I would not.
you are right about gilipollas, used mainly in Spain, but it's a great word.
Pinga, I learned hace muchos anos(years) from a Cuban.
I haven't been able to figure out Spanish accents on windows 8.
Natalia told Amanda who told Becerra who told the Albarrans.
Then there are four possible versions:
-Ileana told Rodolfo in front of Eleuterio, who told Dorotea who told Piedad who told Gussie who told Dionisio.
-Ana told Pablo and Luzma, who told Piedad who told Gussie who told Dionisio.
-Mariano told Camila who told Gussie who told Dionisio.
-And the shortest one yet: Cayetano told Isadora who told Dionisio.
Not counted above, but ‘could have been possible’ – that piece of kaka that is Yago confronted Natalia in broad daylight screaming at her that it is not his kid and calling her all kinds of names IN FRONT OF THE HOSTEL with who knows who within earshot – that pueblo is this big (snaps fingers) – so Dionisio himself could’ve been on his way to see Nat and heard! What a loathsome creature Yago is.
There is absolutely no way Dionisio was NOT going to find out!

About mujer: I have a comment. I remember in the olden days when mujer just meant woman and was used that way. Somewhere along the line it's meaning altered a bit. The first times I heard it used as wife, it was in a similar situation that Dan was in--as in take your hands off MY wife, or I want to make you my wife.
Then there is the more subtle tn usage meaning, we've slept together. Remember Rogelio telling Bruno (I think) and Gus was overhearing the conversation that not only was Cupcake his esposa, but is now his mujer.
Remember in Eva Luna when she and Daniel were "stranded" out in the woods and admitted their love for each other..he approached the subject tenderly by telling her he wanted her to be his mujer. She thought it over for 3 long minutes and then said, yes, Daniel, I want to be your mujer and then they did it. At that point he hadn't actually asked for marriage, only alluded to it--I want to spend the rest of my life waking up with you (I know, for Eva, that translated to marriage.)
I've really enjoyed all the comments and discussions we've had on this forum.
As for the 20 more episodes, I think the writers already had the first story done (recuperating the Malquerida), but needed to extend it to what seems now a normal 170-200 episodes. I think that's where Roman comes into the picture and the Vivi-Roman, Cayetano-Isa and maybe even the Dante-Teresa-Mariano story line got fleshed out.
So Abe is going back to Chile? Leaving Miriam behind with Agatha?
Ummmm...OK.
Well, at least the Dr. said that it's OK for her to get a bit frisky.

1) Hella Shelle: (12:27) I get the jealousy, but u have the whole ranch tiptoeing around ur wife and ur exploding on Cam's friends in the middle of hospitals? Find a gym and a punching bag to work out those glorious, beautiful biceps...I mean, frustrations. (Sorry, mind drifted there). (Well said)!!
2) Carolina (03:04) If we are going to give Cayo awards for being a great dad, surely blaming all of the family’s problems on his soon to be ex-wife should get him a blue ribbon. (You are so right)!!
3) Carolina (03:14) “I will just repeat that I think the topic of Miriam and Camila's response to her presence is one on which reasonable minds can disagree. I think the writers of this TN deserve heaps of credit for making us all care so much about it. ….And I will be completely honest that I don't like Miriam and never have .......
(I may change my mind about Mimiam later as a result of something that haven't happened yet, such as an unfavorable test result, etc.

Myo-
Christian dela Fuente (new to Mexican TN), Eduardo Yanez (who is pushing past 50), Erick Elias, Fernando Colungo (who also is on his prime), Jamie Camil, Jorge Salinas (not old age wise but looks it), Jose Ron, Juan Soler, Sebastien Rulli, William Levy & Daniel Arenas, and and Valentino, David Zepeda & Soto. I think Rene lost his prota card ... I love Marcelo Cordoba but they're refusing to put him on the driver's seat.
It is time the industry expands its search for fresh blood.

I think they also need to be more flexible about their typecasting. I have never understood that.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of the woman who plays Luz, Pablo and Rodolfo. I also like Ana Brenda but, unfortunately, I'm committing to FC's new one. This will be the first time I've watched two at one time since FC's will overlap AB for a few weeks.

Call me old school, but I don't think anything compares to the original Up Down. DA is good and I enjoy it, but I don't think the writing is as good. Some of the plot twists have been just a bit contrived, as you might have noticed.
But I have been faithfully reading the wonderful recaps - many thanks to all!
Does anyone have any news about the TN schedule tonight? One commenter mentioned that Obama's scheduled speech was changing the schedule. When someone knows more, please post?
We have this story about the barricaded fugitive cop on the TV nonstop this afternoon in So Cal. Sad reality ...
So maybe all of this will change the TN schedule....
Thanks fellow TN followers.
