Amores Verdaderos #118 Fri 4/26/13 Frankie Keeps Trying, But Kendho Won't Let Him Succeed; What is Anyballs Up To?; FF Thinks He is the Decider

I am diving right into this epi. Things will not be in order to have a better flow of the recap.

The Coffee Talk: We start this epi with Ms Vikki and the Angel having coffee at the infamous mall. You know the one, where she was almost kidnapped. They are catching up with each other. They look quite happy to be seeing each other, like friends who haven't seen each other in some while. The Angel is looking muy bueno with is dungree jacket and jeans, sigh! Ms Vikki has moved Zambrano up in the world. He isn't guarding the gates anymore, he is her personal bodyguard now, until the Angel comes back of course. Well, the Angel isn't sure he is coming back. He knows he owes Ms Vikki still for all the money she gave him and he is a man of his word. He informs her he is selling his little ranchera in Santa Rita. He and Lili decided it would be best, cause they can't ever go back there, now that Cris is gone. Ms Vikki tells him she is always there for him, and if he wants his job back it's there whenever he is ready. He tells her if he comes back to work for Ms Vikki it will only be as her bodyguard, cause the guy that declared his love to her and kissed her at the bus station, is dead, I tell you dead. He died the same day as Cris. It's a deal, she'll take him, er, she'll deal with whateva he wants to do. She looks like she is about to go, but then she reaches into her purse to extract a hand written missive she has written, she explains she's carried it with her, just on the off chance they ran into each other. Angel isn't buying that, but accepts the missive. He starts to open it, but she blushingly tells him not here, later. She wants him to know that she put her whole heart into this missive. They gaze at each other. Hmmmm. Later on there is a split screen shot of the Angel by a lake at the park and Ms Vikki in her little room. Ms Vikki is saying she doesn't think the Angel is coming back, that she respects his decision but she will miss him. The Angel is sitting with his back to a tree, in his dungaree hawtness, and opens the missive Ms Vikki gave him. It reads: May life caress you and fate open it's arms to you. May solace find you and Dios guide your steps. May hope arise and shower you with the certainty that you will always be with me. He looks at it and then crumbles it up. He sits for a bit and picks it up again and smoothes it out.


Cande, Anyballs and The Little Orchid in the Kitchen: Anyballs answers Litte Orchid's question from yesterday about being Cande's novio years ago. Little Orchid wants details, details!!!! Anyballs starts to explain, cause Lili wanted to know if this was before they met their respective spouses, but Cande cuts her off with don't be so flipping nosy, well, not that, but don't be nosy. Lili says imagne that, you could have been my Abue!!!! hint, hint. Cande is having none of it and gets into the stern stance. Don't ask us any questions, we will tell you no lies, well, not that, but don't ask! Anyballs is entranced with our Little Orchid and says she is like her Mama and that's why he likes her and asks if he can give her a big ole hug. Of course he can, so he gives her the big ole hug and his watch band just "happens" to get caught in Little Orchids long, loose hair, figure the odds there. It is entangled so much, she is in pain as he tries to pull his watch free. He finally gets it free and apologizes. We on the Patio are wondering what in the heck he is up to? We on the Patio are all at Carlos' table asking him what the shells say and if he has talked to Opalina. He has a direct line ya know. Wink, Wink, nudge, nudge. Anyhoo, Lili goes off and Cande tells Anyballs to marche and neva, eva come back. Funny, doesn't Anyballs own this apartment, jus' sayin'. He gently touches her hand, and tells her he can't promise her that. The old reprobate!

Kendo gets a swift luggage delivery with a side of snark: Kendho is pithed cause she is trying to get a hold of FF and he isn't answering the messages she sent him. Damn and blast it, what an idiot. When there is a knock on the door. She quick climbs in bed to "make herself" look sick and Puchis comes in (Salsa Dude) and he flings her suitcases into the room. He says FF wanted him to make this delivery. Kendho tells Puchis how pithed she is at FF for not answering her messages, and Puchis tells her maybe her "future husband" isn't that into her! She tells Puchis the estupido to get out, and he salutes her and says as you wish, future Mrs. Brizz! She calls him estupido many times as he exits the room and looks like she is going to do a Sergio Sendel but decides against it.

Kendho's prey comes for a visit: Another knock on the door and Kendho is way rude yelling. She gets back in bed of course and Nikki comes in, asking if she is busy. Course she is busy, inventing ways to bilk your family, but on to the recap. Nikki is one unhappy girl. Roy is mad at her and Nikki hugged Guzmi and that's the reason why. Kendho reminds her it is only days to the wedding and Nikki tells her the closer she gets to the wedding the more she wants to tell Guzmi she loves him, she really loves him! Kendho of course, tries to get Nikki to see just what kind of man Guzmi is, they both know. Kendho reminds Nikki what gold diggers are like, Nikki can't help but feel the love when he looks deep into her eyes. In order to stop this, Kendho has done some "research" and she will show Nikki. Kendho has a tablet and wouldn't you know it, here is a profile, looks like a dating site, or escort site, most likely. It says: Open minded, attractive, athletic man, he offers satisfaction to older, well off women no matter what they are in the looks department. He promises to fullfil all fantasies. Escort services and local events. Nikki is very disgusted and thinks now he is a gigolo. Kendho is flabbergasted herself. Who knew Guzmi had a website to offer sexual favors to mature women! Nikki is heartbroken, crying this whole time, thinking she was a fool to be so in lurrvvee with Guzmi. Kendho "completly understands". How could he do this to Nikki, only goes to show. Well, Nikki has decided she is marrying Roy the Roller boy, the hell with Guzmi he's married and could care less, and as a matter of fact, Kendho reminds her she soon will be Senora Pavia and when that happens, show this website to her Mama and have him fired! Oh, she'll do that, count on it, and goes weepy eyed out of the room, as Kendho, may the anvil strike her hard, smiles that evil grin!

Zambrano tries to give Guzmi advice: Guzmi and Zambrano are in the dining room, the help' s dining room of course, and Zambrano wants to know what made Roy go off like that at the mall? Guzmi explains about the hug. Zambrano is frustrated with Guzmi and tells him listen, she is getting married, has she given you a sign, any hope, she is interested in you? Guzmi tells Zambrano that Nikki is confused, someone told her that he is interested in her money, he isn't like that, yadda, yadda. Yeah, the source is upstairs, go snoop in that room and find the jewlery! Zambrano doesn't hold out much hope, and Guzmi doesn't agree. He thinks Nikki lurrrvvess him and that will give Guzmi the strength to fight for her, until she actually says her vows. Pobrecito! Sigh!

The Roller Boy bitches to Omar: We have Roller boy and his pal and trainer Omar at a bar. Roy freely admits he doesn't love Nikki but he is pithed he is second in her life, after Guzmi of course. We on the Patio want to throw our nerfazos at him. Omar can't beleive that something was going on with Nikki and Guzmi, and Roy knew it, so why all this crap, or is he just frustrated, as in you know, not gettin' any. Omar thinks it has to do with getting rejected by our virginal Lilli. No, it isn't that, she is very special. Lili somehow makes him feel different. Roy's cell phone goes off and of course it's Nikki and the Roller boy won't answer. He feels by this call, she must be sorry, so he is gonna make her suffer by not answering, what a putz! Omar rolls his eyes and they finish their beers.

Nikki on the cell phone and Guzmi appears: Meanwhile Nikki is begging Roy to pick up the phone. She ends up leaving a voice mail that she picks him forever and ever, she swears and answer her calls. Here comes Guzmi and asks her why she is lying to Roy? He tells her to go ahead and try with Roy and see if she can love him the way she loves Guzmi and here there is one hawt, scalp melting kiss, which Nikki throughly enjoys and then she breaks it and slap, right across the cheek. She tells him neva, eva to kiss her again! Guzmi just grabs her again and the smooching is on, and again she breaks it off and this time runs up the stairs! Guzmi is just verklempt! Little Nikita is in her room, crying and eating chocolates. Is this a return to the porcelain throne? No!!!! She stops eating the chocolate, declares that she is so done with Frankie, cause he is so not a Prince Charming and she is going to wipe him out of her life. Good luck with that!

Lili wants the chisme: Cande and Lili are in the kitchen at home and now Lili is digging for some kind of info from Cande about her old novio Anyballs. She wants to know everything and by the by did Mama know? Well, Cande so doesn't want to go there. Some things are better left unsaid. It was sooo long ago, it's in the past, doesn't want to talk about it! Lili wants to know if both were free. Cande is so done with this. She tells Lili to forget about it and not to mention it to her Papa Angel. So Lili thinks that Cande was married, when Anyballs came around and if Angel knew he would be as pithed as he was the time he found out the Pau was Anyballs' novia! So Lili gets the idea that the Pau stole Abue's man! So Cande says Pau the neighbor? Oh, Lili has stuck herself in this big time, and figures out that Cande had no idea! So she tells Cande about Pau and Anyballs and the twenty years and how the family of Anyballs didn't want to meet her, couldn't stand her, yadda, yadda. And by the way please don't mention this to anyone, Lili could be in big time trouble. By the look on Cande's face, someone is gonna get it, and it ain't Lili!

Cande wants the truthiness of the Pau: Cande has come for a little visit with the Pau. Seems Cande feels she was at a disadvantage last time they spoke cause she didn't know who the Pau really was. Cande has figured out that not only was Pau the lova of Anyballs, well Lili did tell her, but also that she must have intercepted that letter. Pau is looking the worse for wear and Cande is throwing her the cold, stoic look. Pau actually admits the truth, and as to why she did it, it was all about her of course. Pau's needs, Pau's wants, you get the pic. Oh, and the lurrvvvee of Anyballs, which begs the question, was Anyballs a stud muffin of hunkalicious, deliciousness when he was younger, Hmmmm.... Cande was always that ghost between them. Pau couldn't allow the ghost and her daughter to come between her and Anyballs. Cande still doesn't get why the Pau decided to befriend Cris. Same explantion, curiosity, then grew to love her as her own. She became her BFF. Cande thinks she has no shame. Now Pau wants some truth from Cande, has she told the rest of her family yet? Nah, not so much and now Cande is worried Pau is gonna spill some more. Not to worry, Pau is so done with this family stuff and it's up to Cande to tell.

Front Hall of Balvanera Manse: Frankie is by the front door when the bell rings, Tomi comes out and tells Frankie it's Roy for Nikki. Frankie lets Roy in and it's a oneupmanship type of match. Roy declares that he is the boyfriend, Frankie is dumb and leave Nikki alone, cause Roy is marrying her, and Frankie will neva see Nikki again. Well, Frankie says he loves Nikki. Roy tells him so sorry, so sad, she is marrying me and Roy is marrying her money. Frankie is pithed and grabs his wrist in that hold again and brings him to his knees. FF would pick this time to come in with Salsa Dude. FF wants to know why Frankie is daring to touch Roy the Roller Boy. Roller Boy tells him no worries, Frankie was just showing him some self defense stuff. Roy says what you thought that some "employee" was gonna touch me? Everything is peachy keen and he goes. Salsa Dude looked like he was on the sidelines laughing his tushy off.

The Art Room: Ms Vikki has come into her little art room looking for Tomi, she seems to think Tomi is there, but instead, as soon as Ms Vikki gets down the little staircase, there is the Angel and he is quoting verbatim that little missive she wrote him. She is very surprised to see him. The Angel tells her he'll come back as her bodyguard but only as employee and employer. She doesn't want to make him feel guilty and if he's uncomfortable then.... he says Little Orchid will be really happy to come back to work, but he is really concerned about what FF will say. Ms Vikki doesn't care what the FF has to say, he isn't the decider. She is only staying married to him until Nikki gets married and then they are so done. So in strolls the FF with his pantelones in a wad saying look at the two of them! He's yapping about here it is only a few days since Cris died and here the Angel is with his amante! The Angel has had enough, flings him on the couch, tells him to stop the insults and shakes and throttles him! Yay!!!!! Angel tells him this is the last time he will insult the Lady Vikki. FF just wants to be let go. He'll make Angel pay for this. Ms Vikki tells the FF to stop the threats and that he asked for this. FF is gonna make Angel regret it. Now Vikki tells FF to get out! He scoots to the stairs and grabs a glass scuplture as if it is a defensive weapon, lol. FF swears he is gonna get rid of the Angel and hurls the glass from the stairs at them and it shatters everywhere. Ms Vikki tells the FF that Angel stays and to get out! FF just goes on about how cynical she is with her lova, and she tells him to get out yet again. He swears she will see what Nelson Brizz is capable of and goes and slams the door, finally! The Angel is very worried now about coming back to work for Ms Vikki. Ms Vikki remarks her life with FF is a living hell, but Ms Vikki tells him to give FF no never mind. She is the one giving the orders, FF lost that right! So welcome back Angel!

Nikki trolls the web: Nikki has decided to post on that website of "Frankie's" and says she is not a good looking woman, but she has lots of money to share. She needs an attractive man to enjoy the pleasures of life and would he like to travel the world with her. She signs it the Lonely Millonaire and now she wants to know if he is gonna answer. Instant answer! She gets one almost as soon as she hits the send button. It says: Of course, he'd love to travel the world with her, but he needs luxury and comfort to encourage him. In exchange he promises satisifaction! Nikki is instantly outraged and cries like a baby. She can't beleive she fell in love with him! Uh, Nikki, go check and see where Frankie is right now? He's in the same house! Is he on the computer, Hmmmm..... The Roller Boy comes in and sees she's been crying. Roy is "concerned" and asks her what's wrong. She's just depressed, she felt bad for what she did at the mall, Roy is the king, and Frankie is nothing. Roy gives her a big ole hug and thought bubbles about what Anyballs told him and his Papa. Roy tells her it will be ok, she can never do this again and besides tomorrow is their bachelor and bacherlette partay and then the wedding the next day. Nikki says she loves her some Roy and that after the wedding they are moving far, far, away!

Adri and Frankie: Frankie is having a little dumping session with Adri. He tells Adri, Roy so doesn't love Nikki, Roy even told him that he was marrying Nikki for the moola. Frankie has tried so hard to get her to break the engagement. Adri is clueless and thinks that Frankie got that money part wrong. The Pavia's have loads of pasta, Roy is a famous tennis player, the only reason Roy wants to marry so quickly is and Frankie cuts in and says yeah, yeah, the money, same position in life, yadda, yadda, he gets it. But he has tried so hard and nothing, but nothing is good enough! Frankie is pithed and Adri is verklempt!

Where's the anvil? They are together! Polita go up and clean that room and bring the disinfectant, the industrial stuff! Oh, looky here, there is Kendho and her lova man FF, and of course FF is bitchin' and moanin' to her about how the Angel dared, I tell you dared to defy him and they are so going to regret this! And on top of this Angel is Ms Vikki's bodyguard again! Kendho eggs him on, of course, saying that Ms Vikki's and the Angel's relationship must be ya know, knocking boots, er shaking the sheets er, well you get the drift and that is why the Angel tossed the FF around. FF wants to put an end to this and Kendho wants to know what FF's mis planes are. FF wants the whole wide world to know that Ms Vikki is a cheating Ho. Well, look in the mirror there FF, jus' sayin! Kendho has a brilliant idea. Release that DVD to the media, problem solved! Only one problem with that, Anyballs stole that DVD and now it's gone. Oh, say it ain't so, from Kendho. She is one pithed off beyotch! Of course he is gonna make sure they will never make fun of him again. Now it's all about the Ho, Kendho that is. Don't abandon her or his bebe. Well he can't come in here willy, nilly all the time. People will be nosy, er suspicious if he keeps coming in and out of her room. Oh, she's buying that and tells him to be calm and rational about it. He has mis planes, and they are to get everything from Ms Vikki, she is gonna lose it all and she won't be smiling! Kendho is all for that!

The Angel is at home with Lili and Cande: The Angel has come back home and Cande is very happy to see him, she was worried. He tells her that he and Lili are going back to work at the Balvanera Manse. Lili will love it cause Ms Adri is there, and Lili has become so attached to her. As a matter of fact, Ms Adri had a baby she lost the same day Lili was born. Ruh Roh, Cande doesn't seem to mind much!

The Pavia's at home: The Pavia 'rents are just shocked and chagrined they aren't invited to the bachelorette, bachelor partay, it is to be together, not seperately, in the "in" place in town. Scandalous, preposterous! Roy tells his 'rents to get with the times, and with full tennis gear goes to meet Nikki!

Ms Vikki and Frankie have a meet: Ms Vikki is coming down the stairs, when Frankie says he has got to talk to her! He basically tells Ms Vikki that she knows how Frankie feels about Nikki and that Nikki is not in love with Roy! Ms Vikki looks like she has a clue!

Lili and her Papa Angel: The Angel has come to talk to his Little Orchid about going back to their jobs. Little Orchid understands. Her Mama isn't with them anymore, and little by little the pain in their hearts will ease, and even though Cris was the love of the Angel's life he still has many years ahead and they don't know Dios' plans. The Angel can't believe his Orchid is all grown up, she agrees that he finally noticed and that she will watch what she says and what she does from now on. The Angel tells her she can always count on him forever and for always. She has a warning for her Papa Angel though. It will be hard for her to see her Papa Angel fall in love with another woman. Ruh, Roh! The Angel says who me?????? And here we end this epi.


Avances:

Frankie and Nikki don't look happy and neither do Ms Vikki and the FF.

Cande has the lightbulb go on in her head.

Tune in Esta Lunes to find out what happens.

Good Morning Y'all:

Please comment while I work on the recap : )
 

Nikki is just so unbelievably naive and gullible. She just doesn't think!

1. If Guzmancito was working as a gigolo, why would he need to work as a bodyguard?

2. Guzmancito spends an enormous amount of time at the Balvanera mansion, living there even, and when not he is often out with fellow employees or Adriana, etc. Exactly WHEN is does he have time to work his gigolo career?

Have to say Kendho fooling Nikki is like watching Charlie Brown kicking the football Lucy is holding. Very repetitive.

Looking forward to the recap Madelaine!
 

Mads:
I'm looking forward to your take on this one!

Anibal caught a strand of Liliana's hair in his watch -- will ADN analysis show him that Lili is his nieta before he finds out who Lili's mama really is?

Now that JA has told Cande that Adri had -- and lost -- a baby precisely on Lili's birthday, Cande is about to make the connection. The truth will out!'

Audrey, the Nikki-Guzmancito dynamic IS a bit Charlie Brownish. I'd actually like to see it turned on its head:

What if, say, it is the Toy Boy rather than Nikki, who refuses to say "Acepto"?

What if Rolando sees Roxana among the guests in the church (or simply arranging the flowers if she is still playing the empleada at that point) and he chooses AMOR VERDADERO?

As Elvira is always telling us, "Must See TV!"
 

I wish we had seen semanas or even meses depues, instead of 'dias despues. JA seemed too perky and happy to return to work as Vikki's bodyguard. My telenovela beanie hat is clamped tightly on my head, and the chin strap was engaged for that scene.

OTH, it was just glorious to see JA shake the FF like a rag doll.
FF seems to transfer his own guilt and paranoia on to Vikki with his accusations. Now that The Evil Trampire is living in his own home, the FF ramps up his rage and accusations toward Vikki. What a jerk.

Kenra obviously created that gigolo page of Guzman's.
 

Audrey, I feel the same way! It's becoming comical the way Nikki gets tricked and then we hear the sad music box song play and have to watch Nikkk binge. I was so glad when she actually decided not to eat those candies! I'm sorry but how dumb is she?!

Doris ITA, I wish they would have told us how much time really passed because I'm a little confused. I want to think that it's been some months because Nikki and Roy's wedding is that week so how long has it been between the engagement dinner and the now the wedding taking place?
 

Mads--Take your time. Your recaps are always a feast.

NovMav--I wondered about that move of Anibal & Liliana. Why did they zoom in on the watch... Maybe it was the hair, but Anibal already knows Lili is his granddaughter, so I don't know that he would want a DNA test. Adriana hasn't had an aha moment, other than la llamada de la sangre, so she isn't there yet. The one who *is* at there is Cande--but she would need something of Adri's to test. Time will tell if this is going to be significant.

Let's get this wedding over and done with. The longer this goes on, the stronger I feel that Adri and Guzmi should end up together. As I said before, Guzmi doesn't seem serious about Nikki if he isn't doing anything about finding his ex and getting that divorce. It would be proof of his intentions.

Hear Hear, Audrey. Nikki's brain waves are only locked in on KendHo when it comes to Guzmi. I was surprised that KendHo managed to create a fake website for Guzmi that obliterated the real one, so when Nikki went to it she got the fake stuff. Wonder why she hasn't just Googled him by now.

We wouldn't be able to get semanas despues for JA's 'recovery' because according to the Balvanera calendar the wedding is going to take place sooner and telenovela law #1 requires that: There Has To Be Either a Wedding or a Boda Interrumptus during the run and this one has already been announced and the invitations sent out.

 

In episode 98. Neta said she would get married in a month - but the shooting of Vicky must've set the wedding preparations back. I guess a few weeks passed by. I firmly doubt that Cris was buried on Monday and Arriaga returned to the Balvaneras on Saturday. Not to mention that their conversation in the mall sounded like they hadn't seen each other in decades.

Anyway, I would've preferred a "meses después", too.
 

I had stated to Victoria in Texas
that I would not use the term swiss
cheese brain when referring to Nikki but after reading Audrey's comment the temptation is strong. The Guzmancito certainly does not have time for any extra gigolo work while working as Nikki's bodyguard. Maybe she is thinking about his past work history but my question from yesterday still remains---If and when Nikki comes to her senses and chooses the Guzmancito, what will Anyballs do about Nikki marrying a "lowly bodyguard." The same for victoria.
Will Anyballs give up his role of choosing the husbands for the Balvanera women?

The advances seem to show that finally adriana and the Little Orchid find out the truth---I hope
so. If that's true, where will it lead?

Nelson was sure flopping around after Big Angel got a hold of him last night. Nelson---that's strike
two, three strikes and you're out.
the gringo
 

Looking forward to your recap Madelaine as always :)

It's ok Gringo, I was very annoyed by my amiga Nikki last night, I wanted to thunk her on the head one good time, or maybe a few lol.

Team Nikki/Guzmancito
 

Poor deluded Nihlson thinks he has the standing of Anyballs in that household. Even when he gets the stuffing shaken out of him, and no one backs him up, he still doesn't get that he has no standing at all.
 

I'm certainly not going to throw Nikki overboard for the events of last night. That webpage looked pretty convincing to me me and Nikki would have no reason to suspect that someone would be wanting to frame Guzmán with such as that.

I was impressed that Nikki got an immediate response from Frankie. I hope that she makes an appointment to meet him. I wonder how Kendra will handle that.

Certainly there are lots of things about the webpage that don't make sense:

Where would he get the time?
Why is he using his real name?
How can he be on guard and respond to her inquiry instantaneously?

But... THERE IT IS!

Hats off to Kendra, you're even more clever than I ever imagined.

Carlos
 

Good Afternoon, Y'all,

I tried to condense this one down, but there was so much going on, I just couldn't. Please enjoy. Will check back later and read the comments : )
 

So who did Cande think that Paula was when she confronted her the first time about revealing that Aníbal was Cristina's daddy to Cristina?

Looks as though the bachelorette/bachelor may be an interesting get-together since it sounds like it's going to take place at our favorite club. Will Tatiana wander in and bump into Roylando?

These days I smile every time I see Nelson with a drink because chances are excellent that he's going to smash it to the floor. If I were Polita, I'd stock in some Lexan glasses... the look great, feel right, and best of all, are unbreakable.

Carlos
 

Thanks for the recap. I've only been surfing into this show now and then during commercials for The Voice and Dancing with the Stars. I need the singing and dancing right now as my own personal telenovela evolves . Gee, who knew that KendrHO was a computer genius, a savvy hacker. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover...or its tight, slutty wardrobe and perky breasts. I was lucky enough to catch Big Angel shaking the nasty out of Fluffy like a Rottweiler with a new toy. Now, that was satisfying....I am becoming a very bad person. Oh well, as I say every day lately, ''It is what it is.'' I'd like to see The Guz end up with Adri , but that would make him Lily's stepdaddy, and I don't think that the writers would go there. I think that Nikki and BoyRoy seem made for each other in an odd, superficial , spoiled sort of magical way...The downward spiral of that doomed pairing could be fun to watch. Again...I've turned bitter , and now I've started to enjoy the evil. If you can't beat the cracra...join it. I'm just saying. Forgive me. I think hub's pinched nerve has just pushed me over the edge.
 

Yesterday Julia asked who will be the one to disrupt or cause a spectacle at the wedding---I don't know but I just can't see the wedding going through. Remember that Nikki didn't see Lili's picture on Roller Boy's phone yet.
Anyway---Carlos is always right, so Carlos, what say you. Will the wedding go through or who will disrupt it?
the gringo
 

Madelaine - Thank you for the great recap!

Ditto with everyone's comments, too.
Anibal would have a cow if Vikki wants to marry JA. Those Balvanera women really like the regular, everyday guy types, don't they?!
 

Even though Anibal believes that Cris was his daughter, I think he wants the DNA evidence in hand, for whatever reason he may need it. With the emphasis they put on the hair/watch, there must be something coming in that regard. Or it's a red herring.

Nikki may decide she wants to prove to her Mommy how mature she is by inviting Lili to her bachelor party to distract her from her grief, then when everybody's there and the engaged couple is announced, all three (Nik/Lil/Roy) will have cara de impactados! Feisty Lili will go right up to him and ask why he "quieres conmigo" if he's engaged. Nik will ask for an explanation and Roy will say, "I don't know her, maybe she's just a crazy groupie!" Then Lili will grab his cell phone and show Nikki her picture on it.

From yesterday: I believe Kendra is really pregnant, but since at some point I'm sure she's going to ask Nilson to accompany her to the obstetrician, she asked her plastic surgeon to sub just for the sake of playing the trick on the Balvaneras.

If Nikki wanted to prove to Guzman that she knows all about him, she should make a date to meet him as the "Lonely Millionaire." Normally, of course, he wouldn't show, as he knows nothing about it, but since Kendra is running the profile, she'll send a message to Guzman "from Nikki" asking to meet her in secret to discuss their relationship. He'll run to her, trying to prove his love, but all he will accomplish is additional proof to Nikki about how despicable he is. Hope she doesn't go there, but Kendra might suggest it.
 

Anon, I like the way you think...

I'm sure that you were able to prove that you're not a robot...

but now... can you prove that you're not a snail?

Carlos
 

Nope, can't prove that ... not at all. LOL
 

Audrey:

Nikki is frustrating isn't she? And you're right, it is very Charlie Brownish. Nikki insults Frankie every chance she gets, noses into his bidness and she won't ask him about this "escort" thingy. Please! And you are right about FF, he has delusions of grandeur, lol. He thinks he is the shizz when he is the last man on the totem pole, lol.

NovelaMaven and Anita:

You are both right about the ADN, but there is a conundrum here. Yes, the ADN will come back as a Balvanera, and they will have to use Anyballs' ADN to prove it, but, and a big but here, if he were to try to compare Cris' as in mydocondrial ADN, good luck with that. There could be low proof, like in a cousin, as Lili is NOT Cris' daughter, they would have to use Adri's for that, and I wonder how long that will be if ever! Anyballs will have to have a revelation. Cause remember as it stands now, Anyballs has no idea who ended up with Lucia.

NovelaMaven:

I never thought about Roy not saying acepto, cause he wants that pasta so badly, but maybe he will, who knows.

Doris:

I agree that Kendho created that website, cause remember when Kendho said she was preparing a surprise for her future step daughter? Well I think this was the surprise.
 

Lily:

I really thought they would show the porcelain throne theme again, but this shows that Nikki actually has made some progress. She is standing up for herself a bit here and stopped the bingeing. I am glad for her, but not happy about her bad decision as far as believing Kendho.

Audrey:

I wanted to expand on my comment to you. You are so right about Frankie, how in the heck could he be doing all this escort stuff, when he is always at the Balvanera Manse, guarding Nikki's body, when was the last time we saw him on the internet, like the beginning of this TN? And never in front of Nikki. If she was thinking rationally at this point she would be skulking around seeing what he was up to.

Anita:

I think they moved the wedding up after Ms Vikki's recovery. It was put back after she was shot. I agree with Aribeth there. I too wish they would hurry up with this wedding, so we can finally see if she is going to go through with it or not. Frankie has tried to call Amber, but she never seems to be there, she is always out when he calls.

Gringo:

I'm not being too hard on Nikki, poor girl is all kinds of confused, she's young and look who is giving her advice to follow. Instead of listening to Kendho she really ought to be talking to her Tia Adri. It would put a stop to all this crap, but this is a TN, go figure. I too agree with you about FF three strikes and your out!

Carlos:

I agree with everything you said about that webpage. When would he have the time to be meeting all these women, but then I got to thinking about his little errands and maybe she thinks that is what he is doing. Also Kendho is a one woman killing machine and clever in certain aspects in others she is dumb as a rock!
 

I was glad when Nikki stopped binging on the candy and stayed put.
Maybe it is my imagination, but "Nikki" looks like she has even gained a few pounds. Further sign that she is starting to recover.
 

Carlos:

When Cande met the Pau she thought she was simply her BFF, she had no idea who she really was. I too wonder if Tatiana will wander into that club. Should be interesting. I have noticed the FF with a drink in his hand all the time now, it seems. Maybe his liver will give out, we can only hope!

SusanLynn's Evil Twin:

No worries, glad you checked in anyhow. Oh, some of us are enjoying that beatdown believe me, it was a long time in coming for the FF. It was muy satisfying. Nikki and Roy, still don't know about them. Kendho is very savvy, but still stupid, in my opinion, especially with her delusions of grandeur, but hey, isnt' she a lot like the FF that way. No way in hell, Anyballs will relinquish one thin dime to that putz and his ho, jus' sayin'. I am sending you many cheery thoughts with cherries on them : )

Gringo:

Hmmm I wonder if there will be a wedding interruptus too. I have thought maybe Frankie might do that, but there could be Ms Vikki maybe, or Adri or anyone really. Wouldn't it be a hoot if Odiodette crashed the wedding and tried that just to ruin the wedding, Hmmm.

Doris:

You bring up a good point. Yes, all the Balvanera women like the regular guys and not the guys with names or money. I wonder where that came from, Mama maybe????

Anon 7:49:

Oh, but Kendho has asked FF to accompany her to the OB/GYN but he won't be seen with her. That's his excuse every time. She has asked him twice now. I am still not buying she is pregnant until she starts to show, then I'll believe it. The rest of your comments I agree with and I don't think the ADN is a red herring. What if Anyballs wants to include her in his will? Like in add her on the pretext that he cares about her? This plot line will be interesting. Also I wish you would give yourself a name. I like the way you think too and you have commented many times. You always come up with the perfect reasoning.


 

Madelaine - Thanks for the laughs and the details. My favorite line:
"Course she is busy, inventing ways to bilk your family, but onto the recap."

Enjoyed all the comments on pobrecita Nikki. I'm just hoping there will be a fantasy/nightmare sequence of Guzman operating as an International Gigolo.

Hmmm, a joint bachelor-bachelorette party. Nothing could go wrong there.
 

Thanks, Madelaine! This is a hoot! I especially like your concern for thrift:

"Where's the anvil? They are together!"

Yes! Why waste two anvils on Kendra and Nelson when a single one will do?

It's funny that when Kendra wants to besmirch someone's reputation, she tries to make that person seem to be what she actually is. Too bad her fake gyne isn't a shrink (though if the guy in the lab coat is really her plastic surgeon -- ¡bien hecho!)
 

Doris:

It isn't your imagination! Nikki is looking healthier lately. She doesn't look so worn out. I too think she is gaining some weight. She is looking much better.

NovelaMaven:

You are so right! Kendho is always doing things to people to make them seem like she actually is. Like poor Guzmi. Do they have a name for a female gigolo?
 

"Do they have a name for a female gigolo? "

An escort, if you want to be polite.

A call girl if you don't. (I believe that in Spanish that would be Kendra)
 

Mads- Fabulous recap as always!

I'm halfway through watching, but I had to make a few comments.

Is that a new tattoo Nikki/Eiza is sporting on her right foot? It covers almost her whole foot! I have noticed all her other tattoos before, but this one seems new. I hope it's just henna, because that is not an attractive permanent look.

Loved Nikki's black leather halter dress and the jewelry she's wearing with it. Very feminine with a bit of edge. I had a similar necklace many years ago.

Love Vicky's blue wrap dress. The color looks great on her.

I nearly choked on my fruit when Paula tried to justify stealing Cande's personal letter to Anibal by asking, "Who was thinking of ME?!" No need for anyone else to think of you Paula, when you do enough of that for everyone.

More later. Kendra is running her game on Nilson right now...
 

Thanks again Mads.

ITA that Anibal snagged Lili's hair in order to get a DNA sample. He may love Cande, in his own way, but he's not just going to accept that Cris was his kid and Lili his granchild without some real proof. Plus, he could always use it later if he wants to claim Lili (doubtful) and Cande tries to deny everything.

Looks like tomorrow Cande puts all the clues together that Adri is Lili's mother. I wonder how she'll react. Will she support their close relationship, or try to distance them? In any case, I don't think she'll be spilling the truth anytime soon.
 

I liked Nikki's black leather halter dresss, too. What I especially loved about it was that cutwork along the bottom hem. Way cool!
 

Vivi- Nikki's tattoo is actually the real thing. She has actually had it for a while, before Amores Verdaderos.

I don't know who will interrupt the wedding, I'm hoping someone, anyone at this point. I can't handle seeing mi Guzmancito suffer more than he already is.

Team Nikki/Guzmancito
 

Thank you Madelaine for the recap, I got the answer to my question, it has only been several days since Cris's death. Somehow I missed that scene, I'm sorry I didn't get to see Nelson get tossed around :(

Vivi in DC, thank you for mentioning what Paula said! I too LOL'd at her "who was thinking of me?" She is so despicable! I hate her almost as much as Kendho! She is so selfish! This is going to sound bad but it would have pleased me so much to have seen her get hit by that truck instead of poor Cris! May Pau's anvil be a big one!
 

Excellent recap Madeline!

Oh what a golden moment that has to be replayed and replayed on the DVR---that delicious moment when JA has his huge knee in FF's chest. What a total pig the FF is.

Everybody's love interest is living under the same roof: JA/Vicki; Nikki/Guzman; FF/Kendho. How do you spell VOLCANIC ERUPTION?

Can't wait to see if Cande does total true confession on Monday night regarding Lili's birth and Adriana's loss of her child. It looks like that might happen.
 

Good Evening Y'all and thanks for more great comments.

NovelaMaven:

Come to think of it, Kendho is worse than a call girl. Kendho has no conscience. I'll just think of her as the resident Ho.

Vivi:

I too wondered about that tattoo. I don't remember her having it before, in the pool especially, but maybe they photo shopped it out. That old reprobate never believes anyone, as soon as that watch got tangled up in her hair, I knew exactly what he was up to. I actually saw him tuck the strands caught in his watch, up underneath the band. I know he pulled her hair so hard, he got some strands with the root still attached. Now let's see if he actually has them tested. I don't know for sure if Anyballs still loves Cande, he may in a way, but I'm waiting to see if he pursues her some more.

Victoria in TX:

I am with you with Nikki, she is trying my last nerve, especially vis a vis poor Guzmancito! The poor boy has suffered enough already, and if his kisses aren't proof he loves her already, plus he's been doing it in front of Roy no less, then she needs a nerfazo. He has tried to show her how much he loves her, every way to Sunday, but there is still the fact he is a married man, he needs to resolve that, sooner rather than later.


 

Lily:

Pau has always been about her, but I really think now, when she talked to Gilda, that she is so done with Anyballs. She's already told Adri what she knew about her bebe, she's told Cande what she did with the letter and why. She told poor unfortunate Cris who her Papa was, even though she really didn't have the right to do that. What's left on her agenda? I think she has given every secret up she had. Now I really want to see what she does with her life. She will really have to do something to redeem herself for all the secrets and lies she told.

Don Gringuita:

Good Point about the love couples, well except Kendho and FF, under the same roof. It is a volcanic situation! I really want FF to be caught going in and out of Kendho's room by either Ms Vikki or Nikki. That would be so great, then what kind of excuse could he give, Hmmm.... I want some more take down of the FF his time is long past due as is Kendho. She has been having her reign of terror for too long already!
 

Now I wonder what FF is gonna do now to prove what he can do? What the heck is he up to? I so can't stand him.

Kendho too. I wonder what she is gonna come up with next. What is her agenda? That DVD is gone now, so she will have to come up with something else to either get rid of someone else or more blackmail.

Puchis (Salsa Dude) did his part in getting rid of that DVD. Small steps. I still have hope for him. I really want to see what the writers have in store for him.

I knew JA wasn't going to jump right into a relationship. I know they still like/love each other, he and Ms Vikki, but they aren't doing anything, which I think is a good thing. JA still needs to go through the grieving process with Lili, and Ms Vikki needs to resolve her issues, the divorce, what happens with Nikki, etc before she will be emotionally available. She may think she is ready but she isn't. I think she has some grief over Cris too. I know she giggled like a girl with Adri over being in love with JA but she herself said she couldn't do anything about it. So far they are keeping their distance, as employer and employee.

Yes, they smile and touch hands, but no kissing and no I love you's since Cris' death. They may take this time to lean on each other when they need to, with all the stuff they are going through, like friends without the benefits. I really like how both backed off and are dealing with their separate issues.

I wonder what Lili or Nikki will do when/if JA and Vikki become a couple, later on down the road. How will they react, especially if the family dynamic, Lili being Lucia, is revealed. This should be interesting in the coming epis to see how the writers explore that issue.

Also Anyballs when he finds out Lili is a Balvanera. What is he going to do?

I can't wait for Monday's epi to find out if Cande reveals all : )
 

Btw Madelaine loved your recap, you did marvelous with the details as always :)

Mads thanks so much for your recap. Unfortunately my DVR messed up and I missed the episode and must go back to see JA shake FF like a rag doll.

You are so spot on with your assessment of FF thinking he's in control. It's so laughable and makes he and his harlot so completely delusional. She can't find out he has no money soon enough for me. Unfortunately when she learns this, she might try to kill all the Balvanera women.

And you are quite kind to Nikki b/c as Audrey points out she's is way too gullible.
 

Vivi thanks for the list. Since most of the good choices weren't even on the list, it is fun to see Flavio Medina (Alonso from AB), and Raquel Olmedo, and our telenovio Marcelo Cordoba win. It was also fun to see the former horrible tio Leo and Gabino all cleaned up in the ceremony.
 

Karen- I was very happy to see that Flavio won. He really deserved it. Also happy to see Leti C. win for her villainess. I didn't watch the show, so tomorrow I will look for red carpet pics to see everyone looking all cleaned up and dressed up. It seems that they spread the awards around among many of the big tns that were shown here. Only Refugio seemed to be excluded from the official awards, but it apparently got a few audience favorite awards (favorite couple and favorite kiss). The only one that has me scratching my head is David Zapenda for best protagonist. Now, I think he's hot, but his acting still needs some work in the galan department (he knocks it out of the park with his villains though). No need to talk about SN not being included since we already talked that to death, so not surprised that the prize went to crowd (and Televisa) favorite Victoria Ruffo. Good for her.
 

And yes, nice to see our Telenovio Marcelo Cordoba (ay Marcelo!) win. :) Maybe they'll consider him for a galan at some point.
 

Novelas y Series/Univision has put up the acceptance speeches of the winners. Here is Flavio Medina (AB) dedicating his win to Silvia Navarro and his sisters. Very sweet. http://bit.ly/ZWDmWG
 

Vivi - ITA about dear Dave (he's a great villain). Nice to look at but best actor, really and CdlF acted and looked better, imho. Though David was very happy to win and gave a nice speech.

Hopefully this win will cause some thinking producer out there to cast Marcelo as a thoughtful galan. Unfortunately the way most galans are written, I understand why he stays a villain as they usually have the better parts. Nevertheless, Marcelo needs to heat up our screens with someone like SN in a TN written by the AB crew.

I also had to question Livia Brito beating the actress who played Kenya. Unlike Livia's character in Tda, who I ended up liking in spite of her being a spoiled brat (usually I never warm to those types), her character in the Pit was awful.

And interestingly Victoria wasn't at the show.

I was multi-tasking and had the show on in the background. CdlF shared the stage w/Blanca Guerra, who was impeccably dressed as usual.
 

Madelaine: Your carefully crafted, heartfelt all-encompassing recap was excellent.

One of the (many) reasons I so enjoy your recap is your ability to make us see and feel the emotions, actions and presence of the characters: "He starts to open it, but she blushingly tells him not here, later"; "dungaree hawtness" and "Scandalous, preposterous!" are but a few examples.

So many great comments! The highligt was indeed JA and Nelson were JA was :"shaking the nasty out of Fluffy like a Rottweiler with a new toy" (kudos to Susanlynn).

Along with Carlos and others, have to give Kendra credit for the brillant Francisco website. She has Nikki on a string, playing her like her prize puppet.

It appears Cande realizes Lili is Adriana's...I suspect that secret won't readily be revealed to Lili or Adriana soon.

Love the JA/Vicky chemisty. Their frienship, easy conversation is so readily apparant. Love is sure to bloom when the time is right.

Thank you Madelaine. There are many things today I am not looking forward to. Your exciting recap has given me a smile to meet the day head on!

Diana
 

Karen- ITA with everything you said. I think Marcelo was at his best as the anti-hero in LFDD. He got to be villainous and a bad boy, as well as heroic, chivalrous and romantic. Hopefully, some producer will see his potential after this win and give him some more meaty roles.

Amigos- Anita has put up a great post on tn producers on "Proximas." That's also a good place to continue Premios talk.

 

Vivi:

Thanks so much for the list of winners last night. I was surprised at some of them! Ay yi yi, Marcelo Cordoba, what a great villain he is, but I too hope he does some galan roles.

Karen:

Yes, you must see JA throttling FF. It really is must see TV. I have been waiting for that for awhile. FF is so deserving : )
I too worry for the Balvanera women. Kendho is way stupid about who has the money in that family. I was kind to Nikki, cause the poor dear is being bamboozled by the Kendho and Roy. I wish she had better friends to steer her away from the Kendho.
 

Diana:

I too think Cande is going to keep Lili's real identity a secret for another day. She is as cagey as the Pau in some ways, although I think she is a way better person than the Pau. I think she will keep the secret to protect her family and not out of self interest. Glad the recap made you smile : )
 

Victoria- Check out this video of the scene where Nikki and Lili fight at the pool (over the long forgotten about swimming competition). They must have been covering Eiza's foot tattoo with makeup, because it is not visible. I wonder why they decided to show it now? http://bit.ly/Tx3pR0

 

Vivi- Thanks for sharing. I just watched the video, I never noticed that they covered it up. I too wonder why they hid it then and show it several other times throughout the Novela, weird. Eiza has had tattoo for a while. There's several pictures of her with the tattoo if you want you can google it I'm sure.
Now I'm curious why they would go to the trouble to cover it only to reveal it on several other scenes.

Team Nikki/Guzmancito
 

So José Ángel still has free run of rhe Balnevera mansion even though he's no longer employed there? He just shows up unannounced in Vikki's lady cave? No wonder Nelson was peeved. Anybody ready to cut him a little slack?

I thought not.

Carlos
 

Carlos:

Tomi so set that up. I'm surprised FF hasn't caught Tomi aiding and abetting the "enemy amante", lol. Wouldn't be a hoot if Tomi caught FF and Kendho? She would so tell Ms Vikki first chance she got : )
 

Madelaine---Sorry, I forgot to thank you for your super recap on Friday's episode.
Several great lines but I liked---
so sorry, so sad, she is marrying me and Roy is marrying her money.
Also---Polita go up and clean that room and bring the disinfectant, the industrial stuff!
The resident Ho had me laughing also.

Anonymous 7:47---Very good well thought out comments. I think that you have commented a few times before and they are always a good read. Why not put a name in the box above the publish your comment bar, that way we can associate with you a little better.

7:47---Yes, wouldn't that be something if Nikki and the Little Orchid got into a fight over Roller Boy at the big party As you said, maybe this is where the cell
phone picture will be found out?

Vivi---Thanks for the list. I was with some of the winners but not all. I strongly disagree with you about best villiness though. Just as Susana Gonzalez was robbed last time, I believe that Sabine Moussier was robbed this time. While watching Abismo de Pasion, I couldn't believe how good she was in several scenes. One scene was so real that I couldn't believe that she wasn't injured during the filming. She should have won last night but what does a gringo know?
I know that Lucero is very popular in Mexico and I like her but my choice for best song would have been the song from Refugio Para el Amor.
the gringo
 

Another thought---Roller Boy Roy is after the Balvanera money but either way, Nikki or Lilli, he ends up with a Balvanera.
the gringo
 

Gringo:

How very true about Roy the Roller Boy and the Balvanera girlz. I am really looking forward to the bachelor/bachelorette party tonight, if it is tonight to see if Little Orchid sees Nikki and Roy the Roller Boy together. The funny thing is, I think he really likes Little Orchid. All he wants from Nikki is her money. He could care a fig about her.
 

I do not foresee a happy end to Kendra's pregnancy. For reasons I've stated before (lack of signs and symptoms)v that I have my doubts that she is even pregnant at all... however something that Cristina said shortly before her death makes me think that she actually may be pregnant. Cristina told her that she hoped that her little girl is born as healthy as hers had been...DONG!

Carlos
 

Oooh! Carlos, good catch, and great prediction. Not that I wish for a miscarriage, but with parents like Kendra and Nelson...
 

Madelaine, Thank you. I always look forward your recaps.
I guess I'm late for my comment but I just have to pitch in. First of all,it's true, My Nikki is so gullible!!! So poor Guzmancito who is not aware of the Kendho's slime throwing. I don't understand her viciousness, she is not attracted to him.
My question about the DNA, wouldn't the result come out the same either way, that Lilli has the Balvanera blood? It would not identify either Cris or Adriana's isn't it? Well, I guess that the Tatito is really a shrewd one, making sure that Cristina is his daughter from Cande, ergo, Lilli is his gdaughter.
So also, Roy would end up with the Balvanera money if his true love turns out to be Lilli. Ughhhh!!Can't win all.
 

tattoos designs are also become famous in malls
