Caray, Caray!

I'm so sorry this is so late. I'm working nights this week -- sorry.

Anyone know the name of the song Colosso sings at the bar? Just my luck, I finally get a song on my night and I don't know the name. I didn't want to take more time to find out.
 

I picked up on OJ being instantly attracted to Maria and thought oh oh this means trouble. I also think Reuben noticed the reaction and was not pleased. Good maybe they can kill each other.

Oh for the love of God in a city of 25 million people Fat make that Dumb Arnold strolls along in the barrio, not the touristy Zona Rosa and runs into JAntos. As if but with him blabbing about the deal with Del Olmo JAntos has a lightbulb moment and now knows who his second big enemy is.

Fernando definitely didn't like Ana's behavior and it showed on his face. I thought the discussion he had with Coloso was interesting. It is obvious he doesn't have a fear of commitment he fears abandonment. That's why he keep all those ladies round, in case one goes there are others only now he only wants the one. This should be interesting to watch cause Angry Ana is going to put him through hell.

Seems like Amelia is resigned to JAntos and Maria. I still think she hopes it will all come to nothing and she'll have her daughter all to herself. The other day when Paloma asked her why she disliked JAntos she claimed she didn't dislike him but that he would go back to LA and disappear from their lives. Too bad she doesn't just sit down and ask him what he plans to do but I guess it so much more fun to imagine the worst and throw a wet blanket over your kids admiration of the man. I always remember my father telling us dogs and little children have the best judgement of people. Isa worships JA and the dog never makes a move on him (or on anyone else for that matter and Ruben deserves a good growl or bite).

So now both of her parents are onto Trampira and Lourdes is hot on the trail of Coloso to rip him like she did JAntos. I love the image of the two women having to live in a 5th floor walk up.
 

Coloso sings Infierno y Gloria

Perdóname Señor si la quiero en tal forma
que loco por su amor el matar no me importa.
Mi rostro se transforma cuando alguien le habla
y el que la ve y la toca es ya mi rival.

Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella,
no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar.
Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas
ella es mi infierno y mi gloria
ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal.

Es tan inmenso el cariño que siento por ella,
no sé si soy hombre o bestia sedienta de amar.
Yo sólo sé que la quiero con todas mis fuerzas
ella es mi infierno y mi gloria
ella es mi pecado, mi bien y mi mal.
 

Kat, I didn't recognize that song either; sorry. I've run through the previews of his last two albums and it's not among that list.

It wouldn't matter what Amalia asked Jorge Alfredo or what he told her because she wouldn't believe it anyway. She is determined to believe the worst of him no matter what. The idea that she will lose Maria is stuck in her head even if she never voices it. Both she and Mancia need to realize that the time has to come when their children spread their wings and fly from the nest. Neither of these women wants their children to fully grow up.

The idea of the Mendozas living in yet a smaller apartment is ridiculous.

Now that Santos knows that there is a connexion between Giuliano and Ruben he needs to whisk Maria out of their way and while I like the idea of those two snakes killing each other, Maria needs to not be anywhere near either of them when that starts.

I know I shouldn't have laughed but when Amelia was talking about them having to move a more modest apartment and Maria's horrified reaction I couldn't help but think what could be more modest JAntos or Fernando's place. In any event we do know that in the end Maria will be living in a much less modest place.

Unfortunately I suspect that the two snakes are going to realize they have a common enemy and a way to get to him via Maria.

While Justo would like to see JAntos in a less shabby place he is smart enough to realize that her probably is safer where he is so long as the snakes don't discover where he lives.

Mancia was enjoying her triumph having Sue back safe with her but he certainly wiped the smile off her face when he said he would never smile again. She should be careful because sometimes you get what you want and find out if isn't what you thought it would be.
 

Paquita--I'm the one who is sorry I've gotten to the recap so late (I had to do justice to Eli's as well.) You are up to your usual best in the first few pp. Now, let me get back to the rest.

 

Ruben knows where Jorge Alfredo lives, but I don't think Bruno told Giuliano.

That means it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to move.

Where the hell did that scene take place? It didn't look like Ruben's normal office and that makes me wonder how Maria would know to look for him elsewhere. Also, we had one of those "Emergency Broadcast System" tests during that scene and I missed some dialogue. What "contract" was Giuliano referring to?
 

Gracia--to continue on the age thing. We were told in the storyline and description of the characters that, "The story begins when we meet Santos Martinez de la Garza (Jorge Salinas), a young (LOL!), handsome and carefree millionaire, who owns a car distribution company."

Our big question was--with Jorge Salinas playing the lead, where is the cut-off for "Young." That's why Vivi added the (LOL!).
 

UA--They were referring to the deal that in return for "something" OJ did, OJ would be paid $10 million USD (just the amount of money Padrino lost in Santos' car he was giving Michael).

It was a "business" deal of some sort, which I've already forgotten the quid pro quo.
 

@Anita: sorry Anita, I didn't read that storyline. My comment wasn't referred to that ;-)
 

It will be interesting to know what Giuliano did to merit $10 million dirty dollars. It's also possible that he is playing both sides against the middle, which will sign his death warrant.
 

Gracia--No need for perdonames! The story was presented at the very beginning of the telenovela. If Santos/Jorge Alfredo had been playing a 40 year old, we would all have been very happy and not made any comments about his age. But instead they made us believe that he was a young man, that's all. My comment referred to what did the writers consider young--27, 35, 40?

Anyway, it's late. You may not see this. Anita
