Amores Verdaderos #135 Tue 5/21/13 Carlos has entered the building
Amores Verdaderos Cap 135, 5-21-13 — Carlos has entered the building
To get the discussion going, here is the gentleman in question:
OVERVIEW OF EPISODE (may not be completely in order).
* Guzman and Amber catch up on what's going on. They seem friendly and easy with each other. Amber is good with divorcing; she's in a stable relationship and divorce would be a good thing. She asks him about what's up; he explains a little about Nikki and how it sucks to be him. Amber is sympathetic. It's revealed that Guzman had a bodyguarding job for some guy who is soon returning to England.
* Vicki is in Buenos Aires. She's being very cosmopolitan and writing her novel while drinking coffee at a cafe. She befriends a waitress and explains how she's writing anautobiography novel about someone who is NOT her; a middle-aged woman who falls in love with her hottie bodyguard and they live happily ever after.
* Nikki and Roy the Boy take more time in Florida and then it's time to leave. On to Toronto!
* We have a "meses despues" (months later) and we see a "Passage of Time" montage. Big Angel is taking bodyguard training and of course he's the best in the class. Lili takes plant classes of some kind. (Gardening, whatever.) Felipe and Paula are still in search of Guillo and put up posters with his picture on them. It's revealed that they've managed to keep the truth from Guzman all this time about Guillo, because what's the point? They don't want Guzman to quit working in the Estados Unidos when there's nothing he can do, they think.
* Beatriz's pregnancy is starting to show, but she covers up with baggy clothes so no one has guessed yet. Salsa-Dude has kept his distance but still keeps looking for Leo the Low and Guillo. Kendra-Ho has wears slinky tight-fitting clothes to show her substantial baby bump. The Furry Fornicator still isn't reconciled with her, though he does give her a monthly income. Big Angel, Lili, and Adriana hang out a lot (as Big Angel is Adri's bodyguard). They are happy and close, but not too close, if you know what I mean. Adri obviously loves spending time with Lili.
* Nikki and Roy the Boy get along okay. Roy the Boy does his tennis thing and Nikki just vegetates at home and writes letters to the Little Ape that she never sends to him. She moons over the loss of the Little Ape and mopes. Roy the Boy starts to nag Nikki about what she's doing with her life (nothing). (As Vivi points out, it's pretty bad when Roy the Boy is the go-getter among the two!)
* There's a rehash of Beatriz's despair on not knowing where Guillo is. No new leads, no nothing. She would do anything, even give her life, just to get Guillo back. Paula and Felipe seem united in supporting her. She misses Salsa-Dude but is afraid of him finding out how Leo the Low raped her, because she's afraid that Salsa-Dude will try to kill Leo the Low. (Which would only be a bad thing because Salsa-Dude would end up in jail.) Meanwhile, Leo the Low (now wearing a very black and fake-looking wig and moustache) is still in the country with Guillo and his mom. Guillo is worried about mommy and wonders how come they can't see her now. Leo the Low gives some B.S. stalling excuse.
* Big Angel did super-duper awesome on his training. Salsa-Dude congratulates him. The conversation strays to Salsa-Dude's great love for Bea, and how he will keep on looking for Leo the Low.
* Adriana helps Lili shop and get a new wardrobe. She's looking more citified and grown up. Big Angel needs some time getting used to this. He says she looks very pretty. Adri bought the clothes for Lili and seems so happy and content showering Lili with love and goodies.
* The Furry Fornicator notices how happy and close that Big Angel, Adriana, and Lili are. Only the Furry Fornicator wants to zero in on Big Angel and Adriana—he suggests that Adri has "stolen" Vicki's lover! Adri is outraged and tells the FF what a twisted SOB he is. (Only she says it nicer than that.)
* Kendra the Ho is chatting with (whatever his name is! the guy who mowed down Christina). She's kvetching about how the FF barely tolerates her. She's stir crazy and bored, being stuck in her apartment all the time. Pregnancy is such a drag. She vows to never have any more kids after this.
* Nikki sees an article online about Kendra the Ho. She & Roy the Boy then talk about Kendra and what a Ho she is. Nikki mocks Kendra's choice in baby names "Mia." So common! Roy the Boy doesn't even think Kendra is that hot. (Well, we all want to know his expert opinion! LOL) They wonder who the babydaddy is. Nikki says she saw Roy the Boy on TV. Congrats! He wonders why she doesn't get her skinny, lazy ass out of the hotel room and see him play in person. "Sure Roy" (she says in English). After he takes off to shower, she dreams of her Little Ape and again says how she misses him and how different her life would be if she could be with him.
* Adri, Lili and Big Angel are having dinner together, in a room that is not the main dining room. It's become their custom. More talk about buying Lili's clothes. Big Angel isn't so sure about Lili getting short skirts and maybe slutty wear. Adri assures Big Angel that this is the 21st Century and he'll just have to deal. Lili is a full-grown LADY now! In the middle of this happiness, Adri gets a phone call from Joan Constantin, aka CARLOS, sporting a fetching Spanish accent. He tells her she's got the job! She squees and gets all excited, much to Carlos/Joan's kind amusement. The camera doesn't let us see Joan's face (they are teasing us). She tells everyone else the news and they rejoice with her.
* Odioette is recovering at home, still handicapped by her stroke, not able to talk or move very well, paralyzed on one side. She's energized by her hate. Dear Jean Marie, who has the patience of a saint, comes in and cheerfully brings her food. She growls at him; she wants him to leave. Jean Marie is unflaggingly upbeat. When he tries to feed her, she lashes out and spills all the food on the floor. She yells at him and blames him for corrupting Estefano. Poor Jean Marie!
* Joan/Carlos now calls Jocelyn to ask her a favor. She is driving and she cheerily replies that she can't, she's on the way to pick up Vicki from the airport.
* Jean Marie is lounging in the kitchen, telling everyone how Odioette is in a bad way (and is kindly saying she's a handful) but he's trying to help out of his love for Estefano. Big Angel comes in and they chat a bit and then off to work. Adri comes in to remind Big Angel that Today Is The Big Day, Vicki returns! Big Angel seems to have unsteady hands as he smiles and says he knows. Adri teases Big Angel because she can tell he's looking forward to Vicki returning and that he's still "interested." Big Angel refuses to verbally acknowledge this but Adri is not fooled, as she laughs and walks away. When left alone, Big Angel sighs like a schoolboy that Vicki's coming back, squee!
* Jocelyn has picked up Vicki from the airport and says that they've got to stop and Jocelyn's bachelorette pad for a moment. As they are in the elevator, Jocelyn hints around that Adri has been spending a lot of quality time with Big Angel. Vicki purses her lips. As they approach the door of the apartment, Jocelyn makes up an excuse of going back to her car to get her cell phone. This leaves Vicki alone to wander around the apartment. Suddenly, a silver-haired guy emerges . . . it's CARLOS! She's impactada. He says he's been dreaming of her for 25 years and now finally she's in front of him.
* Oblivious that he now has some silver-haired competition, Big Angel is spiffing himself up for Vicki's arrival. He's preening in the mirror and awkwardly spraying cologne on himself. Meanwhile, Carlos is flattering Vicki and she's lapping it up. He says she's more beautiful than ever. She comments that he hasn't changed hardly at all, she instantly recognizes him (he points to his silver hair, as if that makes a big difference). She is delighted but she just can't believe he's there! He admits that he asked Jocelyn to set this all up. He bends in for a greeting kiss, hovering over her mouth for a moment and then kissing her on the cheek. Lots of chemistry brewing here as Big Angel continues to prepare for her arrival in front of his mirror.
* Carlos is getting Vicki caught up with his life—but it's all a lie. He spins some yarn about having a job with a market chain. It sounds like a respectable middle management job, nothing shabby but not Richie Rich either. She seems interested and asks him questions about it. He's very clear that he's just a working schlub. She asks him about his dreams to become a film director. He blows them off and says they're still a dream, but he's always so busy and tired from work he hardly has time to go to the movies anymore. He plays the "Humble working man" card VERY hard. Man, Carlos, is your nose growing longer from all these lies?
* Vicki is very happy to see Carlos. He tells her he kept in touch with Jocelyn in all these years, but never tried to contact her out of "respect for her husband."
* More with Nikki moping, doing nothing but writing letters to the Little Ape (that she never sends to him) and the Little Ape working in the Estados Unidos, looking lonely.
* The Furry Fornicator and Kendra-the-Ho are fed up with each other. He's visiting her in her apartment and she wants more, more, more. He's impatient, he's busy and he's got too much on his plate and she's a pain in the neck! Shrieking and nagging. He storms off, telling her that her crappy attitude is driving him more away from her and making him less likely to want to marry her. After he's gone, she tells her bebe that he doesn't know that she knows he still loves his wife (does he?) but she will get rid of that obstacle, just like she got rid of Christina. Uh oh!
* Big Angel is fussing around in Vicki's studio, carrying a pot of flowers, obviously excited for her return. But Vicki is otherwise occupied, still chatting with the hunky Carlos. He's still playing the working man card to the hilt. "Here, have a cup of coffee! I got it on sale!" He suggests that she did better with the Furry Fornicator, because he was able to give her the life she was used to. She replies, "Perhaps I would have been happier with you." This leaves him impactado and that is where we leave the episode!

Well he really is from Spain, although he has lived in Mexico over 10 years, I believe. But I only heard his Spanish "c/z" as "th" when he was talking to Adriana over the phone in his Joan persona. He didn't use it with Victoria, and he hid his Joan Constantin persona from her as well (since he's just Carlos from Guadalajara). Hmmmmmmm.
Nevertheless - that rapid fire diction? Dead giveaway that he's a Spaniard.

I don't know this actor, haven't seen him in telenovelas I have watched. BUT, he has a serious Paul Newman look and it's working for me!
Looks like Kendra really IS preggers. Ack. She and Nelson really deserve each other.
I like Guzman's ex. It's great that they can be friends.
Odette is SO not a happy camper. Well, bless her heart. NOT!

Oh, and Vikki's hair looks a little different now, thus signaling a "nueva etapa" per telenovela rules.
I think Carlos is "testing" Vicky to see if she c/would be interested in him if he were just a humble, middle class businessman. Remember, he thinks she dumped him because he had no name or money, and Nelson did.
Nikki is STILL doing NOTHING. Even Roy noticed and said something about it. You know you're a lazy bum if Roy is more hard working than you are.
Questions that came to mind:
- How does Guzman know Nikki is in Toronto, but Nikki has no idea where he is and that wherever he is, he is NOT with Lili?
- Why's it still the middle of winter in NY 4 months later?
- How is it that Guzman believes the lie that his nephew is back home, when he hasn't spoken to him on the phone in the four months he's been away? What kind of lie did the Guzmans come up with for where the kid was each time? He's doing homework; outside playing; sleeping off a hangover (you know little kids can't hold their liqour)...
- Why the HELL is Nelson still in the BV house?!
- Is Kendra giving birth to a basketball?

Elvira:
Loved that pic of Carlos/Joan. He is muy guapo. I like this actor and can't wait to see him as a good guy this time, I hope. Can't wait for your marvelous recap.
Vivi:
I think Frankie is getting updates about Nikki from the Angel or maybe Adri. Adri is still a good friend of Frankie's. As for the rest I think Pau and Felipe are filling him with you know what, so he doesn't come rushing back to Mexico. Agree about Kendho and the basketball, lol.
I missed about the first twenty minutes so will wait for Elvira's always marvelous recap to see what I missed.
Oh, and I love Lisardo's accent. could listen to him all day, rapid fire or not : )

LOL Vivi in DC! " You know you're a lazy bum if Roy is more hard working than you are." Seriously! If I was Nikki I would definitely spend my days shopping, at least! Or how about finding a career! I'm sorry Nikki fans but I just don't understand how Guzman could be in love with such a spoiled person with zero interests or aspirations.
Excellent questions Vivi! And you had answer for questions I was planning on asking, I missed the 1st half of the episode so when I saw Kendra's basketball I was like "huh?!" So 4 months have passed? I would think though that Guzman knows where Nikki is based on where Roy is playing tennis. Can't wait for the recap! I need it!
Poor Jean Marie getting slapped by Odette :(
ITA with you Vivi about what Carlos is doing, genius! And I too noticed Vicki's hair Doris, definitely means big changes are in store!
What's Vicki's friend Joselyn's deal? Did she really tell Victoria she got an apartment for her "encounters"? So she's married but she's actively cheating on the husband she was seen dining with not too long ago? Eeewww why would Vicki want a friend like that?

Vivi - LOL!!!
Lily - Jocelyn told her it was for her encounters. Joce is a bit of a slutsky in an "open" marriage. (eeew, but "equis.") That's not really Joce's place, and only said that as a pretext to get Vikki into Carlos' apartment and leave her there. Joce set Vikki up after working it out with Carlos. It's really HIS apartment.
In reality, if Kendra has gained minimum weight, the size of her basketball is believable. Princess Kate is due in two or three months and doesn't look much bigger, last time I saw her on TV.
Back in the late 1940s and early 1950s, doctors wouldn't let pregnant women gain more than 16lbs total, according to my mother-in-law, QEPD. My doc wouldn't have survived.... I gained a whale-like almost 40 lbs.

Yeah I was pretty sure Guzman knew about Toronto by following sports news, but I bet he's also getting info from his Mexico peeps. But in fours months Nikki hasn't called the BV house to speak to her beloved Tomi, aunt Adri, or Tatito? At least the first two would have mentioned Lili's presence. Surely Nikki would have asked. Basically I think this is beanie-worthy writing, just like Guzman believing his nephew has been returned although he has not spoken to him.
Did anyone notice that Vikki has been typing her novel on her personal laptop while in Buenos Aires, yet Arriaga is shown using her laptop back home to work on his Agronomy studies. What gives?
As usual I am completely behind. I haven't seen an episode all week.
Squeee! Another Spaniard in the house!! I love listening to them...even when they are suppressing the c/z=th. I hope he and Estefano get a scene together.

Excellent picture Elvira.
Thanks for the info Audrey!
doris, you are so right about Lisardo "has a serious Paul Newman look". I'm looking forward to the recap Elvira!
I thought Vicky was genuinely happy to see Carlos but she hardly melted on the spot. But, of course, how could she, being in love with the handsomest, most charismatic man on earth? :)
Estefano seems genuinely nice without a mean bone in his body. However, his having Jean Marie in such close proximity to his mother borders on insensitivity. I hardly think that is a prescription for a speedy recovery. I would imagine blood pressure within limits might be preferable for a recovering stroke victim.
Vivi: "You know you're a lazy bum if Roy is more hard working than you are" and "(you know little kids can't hold their liqour)..." were priceless.
I am out until later next week to be with my brother Marc who is recovering remarkably well since his stroke (thanks for all the prayers and well wishes).
Wishing all of you a safe and happy holiday weekend. Cannot wait to catch up when I return...
Diana
Thanks for the info Audrey!

I thought Vicky was genuinely happy to see Carlos but she hardly melted on the spot. But, of course, how could she, being in love with the handsomest, most charismatic man on earth? :)
Estefano seems genuinely nice without a mean bone in his body. However, his having Jean Marie in such close proximity to his mother borders on insensitivity. I hardly think that is a prescription for a speedy recovery. I would imagine blood pressure within limits might be preferable for a recovering stroke victim.
Vivi: "You know you're a lazy bum if Roy is more hard working than you are" and "(you know little kids can't hold their liqour)..." were priceless.
I am out until later next week to be with my brother Marc who is recovering remarkably well since his stroke (thanks for all the prayers and well wishes).
Wishing all of you a safe and happy holiday weekend. Cannot wait to catch up when I return...
Diana

Is there any way Tomi et al really would have told Nikki that Liliana has moved into the house, knowing how much Nik despises and torments her? I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
But all the quality time Adri is spending with the Arriagas, she wouldn't have even dropped Lili's name when speaking to Nikki? I'm not buying it. She's one of the main workers in the house, Toni would have even just dropped her name in passing when updating Nikki on the happenings in the house.
Vivi - LOL! Great questions! Nelson is still in BV central because Anibal is letting him believe the blackmail is working. BTW - it is!
Kendra having a basketball! Too funny - I was thinking the same thing.
I had a thought about Nikki hanging around the hotel and doing nothing for four months. When the Ikki's talked in Miami, Nikki promised her mother that she'd get involved in a nutrition/bulimia program (I forget the exact words they used). Perhaps Nikki is attending an intensive program and that's how she's spending some of her days. In Mexico before her marriage, Nikki's activities consisted of sleeping late, pampering herself, shopping and partying most of the night. Her behavior has changed dramatically. Perhaps the writers are going to surprise us with a healthier Nikki when she finally goes back to Mexico. I'mnot a Nikki fan - she's my least favorite 'good guy', and this is not a spoiler. Just a thought about her seemingly indolent behavior.
Odette was just awful, slapping JM and throwing her food tray across the room - pretty good range of motion for a post stroke patient! She has so much to atone for. Did she ever read the contents of Salsero's envelope?

"Nelson is still in BV central because Anibal is letting him believe the blackmail is working. BTW - it is!"
Indeed Barbara. Just when is Anibal's great plan to get rid of Nelson going to kick into gear? Because right now, Nelson has everything he wants: still married to Vicky, and even better, she's out of his hair in another country; still works for MI; still has shares in MI; still lives in the BV mansion; still seeing his pregnant mistress; gets all free booze he can manage to slosh around and smash on the floors with impunity; and gets to go around insulting the staff (especially JA) and the BV family. This guy is living in adulterer heaven right now!
I am hoping that in all these months, Anibal has been slowly embezzling funds from the company and making it look like Nelson has been doing it, and then BAM! Hit him with an audit and time in jail, just in time for Vicky's return. But my faith in Anibal's ability to screw up the lives of anyone but his women, daughters and granddaughters is limited, however.

Vivi:
Oh, Anyballs is full of mischief! He is crafty and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he found some way to send FF to la carcel. I know he only has screwed up the lives of the Balvanera women, but he also stole a bunch of Odette's clients when he opened Meta Imagen. I really think he will give FF just what is coming to him, I can't wait for that, just my opinion.
Angel, Adri and Lili are cute as a "family" aren't they? So easy going and the Angel has been laughing a lot lately. Lili looks like she is feeling less sad too.
GoBlueFaninOH
I think Ms Vikki has more than one laptop. I believe she kept one in her bedroom/art room and one she carries with her all the time.
I like Vikki's new hair style. It is softer and frames her face really well. I love the way she dresses too. What lovely outfits she wears.

Carlos made quite an entrance. After all the build-up, I was afraid there’d be a letdown – but nope. I think I like him. Kind of cute that he wants to see how Vickie would react to him as just a humble businessman. And white looks good on him.
JA was so adorable grooming himself for Vickie's return and waiting for her in her studio.
Vivi - I'm laughing with everyone else at your crack about even Roy noting Nikki is a lazybum.
Vickie told Nikki that she'd let her read her novel now that she's finished. Does this mean Vickie's ready for Nikki to know of her love for JA? Everyone who reads it figures out it's real.
Anger seems to fuel Odiodette. So maybe JM continuing to visit will do her good. Anibal should probably pop back in too. If Odiodette can rally to slap JM, think what a rise Anibal will get out of her.
Diana - Glad to hear your brother is recovering well. Have a good trip.

I don't think Odette ever read what was in the envelope after she tore it all in half. And seriously, that old bat should think about reading the comments here about her.
Why IS Vikki's divorce taking so long???
Why IS Vikki's divorce taking so long???
"Why IS Vikki's divorce taking so long???"
Because Nelson is fighting it, and Anibal is probably holding Vicky's lawyer back since Nelson has promised to reveal what he knows about Anibal (as well as sell his shares) if Anibal doesn't make sure Vicky doesn't divorce him and that he gets more shares in the company. Anibal has kept his end of the bargain, at least on the divorce. He's stalling in the shares thing. And supposedly he has some great plan to squash Nellie so that he will finally agree to the divorce and set Vicky free, but I'll believe that when I see it. *rolls eyes*

Hello everyone, I am back from an errand and will cook up a recap in the next few hours. Keep checking the page for screencaps! :)
Vicky agreed to not agressively go after Nelson for the divorce (although she has a divorce lawyer) because Anibal begged her to. He basically admitted, without admitting it, that Nelson has him by the balls, and he begged Vicky for time to get rid of Nelson, because he has a "plan" for doing so. Vicky knows Nellie has something over Anibal's head, and that it probably has to do with Adri's baby, but she agreed to give the old man time. I hope she says time's up! when she returns. Four months is more than enough time. And she shouldn't have to put up with the insult of having to live and work with Nellie again.
Vivi:
I like your nickname for the FF. Nellie, lol. That is so apropos for him. He whines like a girl, lol.

Oh, I just had a thought. Suppose Nellie meets Carlos/Joan. Will he attempt to beat him up too, when he sees him? He knows that Carlos was Vikki's old novio. I can't wair for their first meeting : )
Vivi,
"This guy is living in adulterer heaven right now!"
I didn't even know there was such a place.
Carlos

I didn't even know there was such a place.

Hopefully not a place you'd be tempted to visit Carlos, otherwise the Lovely Linda might come after you with one of Emelia's skillets.
Elvira:
Thanks so much for this part one and all these fab screen shots. I am sorry I missed the first twenty minutes now! Nellie is just a freaking putz. I am really thinking of something stronger to say, but not on this blog, lol. What a jerk.
Poor Betty, I feel so bad for her. I hope she doesn't have to give up her life or anything else for that freaking low life who shall remain nameless. I am glad I missed that part.
I wonder if Nikki is using these letters as some type of diary or something. Maybe she'll write a book like her Mama, lol. I too think she needs to do something with her time instead of loafing around. I am glad she is finally seeing the Ho for what she really is. Too bad she still doesn't know that Nellie is the papa to the Ho's Mia. I am hoping Nikki is getting stronger both physically and mentally. We will have to wait and see. But I still don't like the fact she is just loafing.

At least Nikki is no longer hanging out at the porcelain throne. I believe she has the bulimia under control. I refuse to like Roy, but he was considerate to ask her if she's eating well.
Did Guzmi spend four months standing picturesquely in front of the wintry NY skyline? Whose body was he guarding, a mobster who spent all his time dumping people in the river with cement shoes?
I wish someone would pour salt on NelfromHell and he would shrivel up and die. Four months to think about it and Anyballs still hasn't come up with a way to get him out of the house? Lame.
Awesome pics and summary, Elvira la Dama. I like your title, too.

Thanks Elvira for your awesome recap and screencaps! Love your talent for getting to the bottom line and filling in all the right details!
Viv, I thought of you last night as Nikki sat around doing NOTHING. A man can't save you or be the only thing that makes you happy! Even if she lands Guzmancito, she can't just sit around in wedded bliss all day. She's got to DO someting with her life. Let's hope a personal growth spurt is in her future. At least we now know she's not pregnant with Guzmi's child since she's still "flaquito".
And speaking of pregnant, I was so happy when we saw "meses despues" that we would finally see a baby bump and we weren't disappointed (LOL, Viv-basketball!).
Why does Vikki need an army of bodyguards in her own backyard but can go to Argentina for 4 months and hang out in the street cafes solo?
I hope when I see my old college boyfriend I look like Vikki with my hair blown out, perfect make up and a hot pink jacket. Somehow I think it will be when I haven't washed my hair and I'm wearing workout clothes!!!
If I never hear "vomitaste?" again, it will be too soon.

Thanks for the recap, Elvira.
I wondered the same thing about Guzman. How is he supporting himself? Am I missing something? Do you think the severance check that Vicky gave him was THAT good or was Kendra correct and he has another occupation. ;-)

Guzman told Amber that he has been working for the last three months, so he was protecting somebody's body while he was looking pretty against the NY skyline. But now it seems that gig is coming to an end and it'sback to Mexico time!
Thanks Elvira! You know what a fan I am! I look forward to Part 2.
So am I the only one who remembers Aníbal thought-bubbling that once Kendra's baby is born, he will demand a DNA test? That the results will prove Nelson Brizz's infidelity and he won't be able to contest the divorce?
(I can hear you all saying SO WHAT? That doesn't neutralize NB's blackmail threat! True. But hey, I don't write this dreck, I just make fun of it.)

Elvira---Thanks for the 1st half--

Just brief comments today.
Paul Newman look? I agree. Will he give big JA a run for his money?
Gobluefan---1 or 2 laptops? good one. She must have a backup.
Diana---Fill us in on Marc when you get back. Good Luck.
Which one Nikki or Roy is lazier?
That's a laugh out loud for sure.
Vivi---Good observation. Nelson is doing quite well. Did his anvil get lost or misplaced? Just wondering.

Nikki. At least Roy is running all over a tennis court.
Vivi - Thanks! I always ask the lamest questions and you always answer them for me. (((Hugs))) I'm so distracted lately (will be a 1st-time grandmother in 3 months, sewing up a storm) that AV is taking a back seat to my focus.
Another lame question --- Is Bea still working at MI? If she is, does she think Salsero won't notice her baby bump at some point?
Or has she quit, to stay home with Paula?

Another story the writers sort of dropped with the "jump" was the KendHo viral video. Did she get busted for it by Stefano? Or is he the new Nikki, thinking his worst enemy is his BFF?
I'm saying Carlos is some good competition for JA. He better do something obnoxious because otherwise, he's a handsome, nice guy whose pulled himself up by his bootstraps. He's a keeper! Maybe for Adri?

Of course, Adri's long lost love, Vicente, hasn't shown up yet, and I believe he will be played by one of my favorite telenovios, so my loyalties may be split further down the line.

So Carlos/Jhon renews his relationship with Vikki with lies? Excellent.
He seems to already be a hit here but he reminds me too much of Augie (CME).
Julia,
"Anyballs still hasn't come up with a way to get him out of the house?"
Aníbal told Vikki that he likes his revenge served cold... maybe he likes it stale as well.
I predict that Jean Marie will ultimately win Odette over, but she sure is a surly tough old bird.

How could Carlos not be a hit when he's your namesake? Seeing as we're almost 100% sure that Vicky and JA will be a couple soon, it doesn't really matter if Carlos is starting out his renewed relationship (only friendship) with Vicky with some fibs about his profession.

Sure looks like it! LOL!
I also love Viki's new "luke". It really becomes her.

Barbara - it would be lovely if Niki were focusing on treatment for her bulimia, but she made it pretty clear in talking with supermami in Miami, that it was so NOT a priority for her - "shalala".
As always, love the recaps and comments, almost better sometimes than the actual tele, keep those snarky comments coming. Me encanta!! Ron

Audrey - one can only hope.... Nikki needs so much 'rehabing' to have a relationship with Guzman. I hope she hasn't just been sitting on her duff, crying and writing love letters for four months. She did look healthy (in spite of her tears) in one of those scenes in Canada, and she told Roy she hadn't vomited, so I'm going to hope for treatment and recovery.

Thanks for a great recap and great screen shots too.
I am soooo sick of Joslyn who as far as I'm concerned is a skank with a bit more money than Kendra Ho. I prefer to call her Jo-Ho. There's a 12 Step program for you Joz. It's called Sex And Love Addicts Anonymous, and honey, you need it badly.
Vikki, you need to get some decent friends and dump Joz and Doris.

Awesome, Carlos. I am in awe of your wit.
I looked at the cast list and now I am in hyper-puppy-like anticipation of Vicente's appearance. Tu fresh y yo eagerly awaiting the ogling ;).

Carlos/Joan will pay a price for his misrepresenting the facts about his current life to Vikki. She was quite upset with Arriaga because he did not tell her the truth despite his rationale. Vikki wants the truth; she deserves to have the truth! If here heart wavers from Arriaga towards Carlos it will quickly return to her novella lover because...well that's the way the writers will end this.

I'm sure Carlos will pay a price for his lying to Vicki, however, given the circumstances of her turning him down to marry Nelson, I understand him wanting to hide his current situation until he understands the situation better.
I suspect he also wants to hide his other persona from Aníbal who was determined to make it impossible for Carlos to find work in Mexico. He doesn't need Aníbal declaring war on Joan Constantín and ruining his film-making project in Mexico.
Apparently Vicki has no idea that Aníbal had Carlos blackballed in Mexico, otherwise she would wonder how he was in business in Mexico at all. She seems pretty ignorant of the situation behind their breakup.

Maybe it's just that my objectivity is skewed where Lisardo is concerned (hated him in CME), but his lies to Vikki had a sinister slant IMO. He's portraying himself as Carlos the businessman to her, but will be Joan the uber-famous Director to Adriana. Could he be slimy enough to mess with both sisters at the same time?

Anibal is sneaky. He doesn't tell his daughters anything, not even how he will get rid of the men in their lives, so I'm sure they never knew the real fates of Vicente and Carlos. He probably to them that he paid the guys off and they took the money and ran. Now, if only he could be as efficient at getting rid of Nellie.
"The rich is different from you and me" F.S.Fitzgerald, I believe. The character Nikki was made like as she is, rich, princess, indolent and have more fun than ordinary people. There was a scene in Downton Abbey where the two sisters were mocking their sister what she wanted to stay down at the kitchen to "probably learn how to cook eggs or something". They were just born to sit around and look for husbands. This is also why no one like Paris Hilton. And so because Nikki is a lead actress in this novella, and some of us tend to like her, we also want her to be as productive and be like us. But like Madelaine said, maybe she'll turn those letters into a book like her Mom. They'll make magic for her and make a turnaround in order to be a good match to her Guzmancito or otherwise their union will not work at all. But that's probably a sequel to this novella. So I'm just saying.

Elvira, love the recap and the pics. You are a very funny and talented person.
So the big deal with Guzman, the cleaning lady, and the flowers for Nikki went nowhere. Nikki didn't learn of Guzmancito's attempt to reach her in Florida since she out of the country now.
So cute seeing Big Angel's nervous anticipation in his getting ready to see Vikki again, The too generous spray of cologne was a hoot. Looks like he becomes a little unwrapped as time goes by waiting for Vikki. And when he finds out why she was tardy, oh no.
Thanks, Elvira. I stick get a laugh out of your nickname, Salsa-Dude.

I don't need for Niki to be "productive" in the sense that she takes on a career like her mother. I'd just love to see her lift a finger to take care of herself and her own problems instead of sitting around and moping, regretting, and wishing. "Learned Helplessness"
I would, in fact, LOVE to see her go shopping! Anything!

She doesn't have to take up a job...but she's travelling! Nikki should at least go out and see the sights! Or, you know, call home and find out what is actually going on. Or, if she misses Mami so much, go to Argentina and visit her. Just because she and Roy are faking a marriage doesn't mean they have to stay together all the time. Or take a class in something frivolous, at least.

Thanks so much for the fab part 2 of your recap and the added screen caps.
I agree with you Audrey about Anyballs, and his getting rid of those guys any way he could.
I don't know if he paid them, I doubt it, or if he told his girls the boys took the money and ran, but he for sure got rid of them.
I think this marriage to Roy may be good for Nikki, I know don't yell at me yet. It seems that Nikki is slowly but surely getting some independence and just a thought, but I think maybe this will be a little maturing lesson for her. We'll have to see.

Yes can't wait for Vincente. I have known for some time who he is and I can't wait : )
