Amores Verdaderos #181 Fri 7/26/13 El Gran Final, Part II
Amores Verdaderos—July 26, 2013, Cap. 181 — El Gran Final, Part II
Hola, Madeline and I (Elvira) are sharing duties on this recap. I do the first segment, she does the second.
Some screencaps to get us started!
 |
| Vikki and Big Angel welcome their little bebe into the world. |
 |
| "That slut is calling." Sometimes these photo captions just write themselves! |
 |
| Big Angel and the Little Ape overhear some very interesting stuff! |
Amores Verdaderos Cap 180 Part II,
Segment One, by Elvira: "New horizons for just about everybody, but in different ways."
Refried: Salsa-Dude tells Bea some cock-n-bull story about having to go away for a few weeks for training in a place with no cell service. He kisses a sleeping Guillo goodnight/goodbye, saying that the boy has given meaning to his life.
 |
| Bea is unaware of what perils await our Sunglassed-Salsa-Dude in the near future. |
 |
| A sweet good-night for Guillo. |
Nikki is distraught over losing her dad. She gets comfort from Lili. (Who would have thought!) Then Auntie Adri counsels her, saying that dad will always live in her heart. Nikki can't think that she can tolerate seeing the Ho right now. Speak of the devil, here comes the Ho in uber-short Ho-widow's dress.
 |
| At long last, the primas are getting along. |
Vicente advises Vikki to take it easy. Vikki can't leave her daughter in a time like this.
When the Ho arrives, Big Angel (still blind) has trouble containing his rage and the Little Ape has to hold him back. He approaches the Ho and the Little Ape immediately whisks him away. The Ho gets the stinkeye and cold shoulder from everyone else as well. She puts on a good act of being the grieving ho widow, with crocodile tears and everything.
Big Angel can't keep his fury in, so the Little Ape escorts him to another room so the Ho won't figure out that they're onto her and have plans to entrap her.
The Ho continues her act in front of FF's coffin. Nikki is moved by little Mia and wants to hold her.
Polita is performing some sort of bizarre/hilarious "spell" to get rid of the demons that obviously have infiltrated the house, since all this douchebaggery has been afoot for a while. I think the demons are actually a Ho in widow's weeds and an old grandpa douchebag chilling in Nuevo York. Thomasina interrupts her, wondering what is up. Hilarious scene!
 |
| Expelling the evil spirits. Well, it was worth a shot! |
Back at the funeral. The police guy comes around with some documents to show Vikki. Meanwhile, Big Angel is furious that the Ho came to the funeral of her latest victim. The Little Ape is on duty to calm down the big guy.
Back in the main salon, the police guy is updating everyone. Gramps has escaped to Nuevo York. As it happens, Vikki has the address of an apartment he keeps there. Police guy says they're working on extradition. Also, the Furry Fornicator had some interesting papers and there's something for Vikki. She's handed a letter which she reads aloud. The letter, written by the Furry one, apologizes for spilling the beans about Lili in the way he did, but he had to expose Gramps' douchebaggery. He tells how Gramps had him shot (in the leg) to shut him up, and also, he's decided to return the 20% shares that Gramps
 |
| Adriana and Vicente reacting to the reading of FF's letter. (This is a gratuitous Vicente shot, for which I make no apology!) |
 |
| The Ho is unhappy to find out that the Meta Imagen shares will not be hers after all! Sucks to be you, Ho! |
Salsa-Dude is on Trap-the-Ho duty, and sidles up to her to find out what her plans are. She's unhappy about the shares being returned to Vikki, but she's assuming that the insurance policies and will are still going in her favor. She asks Salsa-Dude about the bruises on his face (which, Viewerville knows, were acquired when he confessed all to Big Angel and the Little Ape). He waves them off as coming from a dumbass rookie during training. He adds, "I'm sick of this job!" (Good save, Salsa-Dude!) She says they'll be off to Brazil as soon as she gets her dough from the FF.
 |
| The Ho plots and plans with "Puchis," aka Salsa-Dude. |
In Nuevo York, a liquor-swilling Gramps (Anibal) is calling Gilda/Hilda and "putting her loyalty to the test." He instructs her that a guy is going to come by and pick something up, and she is not to tell anyone. She agrees, but looks nervous after he hangs up.
Cande is sprung from jail and Lili is there to greet her. She updates Cande on the news on Gramps. (Swilling it up in Nuevo York.) Cande cries about how she could have fallen for that old douchebag liar.
Meanwhile the old douchebag is telling his contacts in Nuevo York that there's going to be a bit of a delay delivering the "merchandise." These guys don't like the sound of that. That's not how things are done. They hustle Gramps off to talk to the big boss "personally," and Gramps doesn't seem to have much say in the matter.
Sad scene where Nikki has the FF's ashes interred as the priest performs the proper ceremony.
 |
| Well, at least someone is going to miss him. She says goodbye to the Furry Fornicator as the Little Ape sympathetically looks on. |
The guy Gramps has sent to the office has arrived and Gilda/Hilda lets him in. He puts on gloves and opens the safe with a combination, obviously given to him by Gramps. He's getting the loot when the police come in. Hilda/Gilda ratted out Gramps! Awesome! They discover the diamonds. Oooh!
 |
| Caught in the act! |
Coming back home, Vikki has labor pains. A cute little bit where a still-blind Big Angel stumbles back into the car so she can go to the hospital. (Zambrano drives, BTW.)
In Nuevo York, Gramps is not getting the red carpet treatment. He's tied up and being treated very roughly by some thuggy guys who are apparently unhappy that he hasn't provided them with the diamonds. He's threatened with a knife by a scary-looking bald dude who calls him a "traitor," even though Gramps begs for just a few more hours to deliver the goods.
 |
| Fun: He's not having any. |
Vikki's in the delivery room, pushing and screaming in pain, while a still-blind Big Angel says encouraging, loving words. When the baby comes out and starts to cry, something breaks loose in Big Angel's dysfunctional noggin and his vision gradually clears. He's finally able to see and says joyfully to Vikki that their child is beautiful. "It's a blessing from God!" and indeed it is, as both mother and father rejoice over their new offspring.
 |
| Vikki's not having much fun at the moment either, but the outcome of her discomfort will be much more happy than with Gramps. |
 |
| "Can you see us?" Yes, indeed he can, finally! |
 |
| Happy happy, joy joy. |
Salsa-Dude is handing the Little Ape a "crime resume" on Kendra, alias Macaria Chavez. He says he gave this document to Odioette so she could expose the Ho, but apparently Odioette blew him off and never read the documents. He wants the Little Ape to have this info to give to the police, for when the time comes . . . The Little Ape hopes that "their plan" works, because as predicted, the FF autopsy showed up nothing untoward.
The slut calls Salsa-Dude and he tells her they'd better not meet until later. He's able to put her off. "Let's hope she doesn't pull any surprises," the Little Ape says and Salsa-Dude says he'll try to avoid that. [I think this last bit is a refry of what Madelaine put in her recap]
AND THUS ENDS PORTION ONE OF THE RECAP!
Thank you everyone for being such wonderful participants of this blog. It's been a whole lot of fun recapping for this show and I hate to see it go! But onto the next beanie-flipping novela. It's been an honor to be one of your recappers and I thank all my fellow recappers for their wonderful work. Thanks again,
- Elvira
-----------------------------------------------
Segment Two, by Madelaine: "Carry On, My Wayward Son"
Hola Patio Peeps. This is my last recap for this marvelous TN. I have enjoyed the ride immensley and want to thank all the recappers that took this journey with me, Super Marta, Elvira, NovelaMaven, Aribeth, and Cynderella, thank y'all so much! I would also like to thank all the many commenters, who stuck with us through the ridiculous, remember the rocks Adri toted around, and the marvelous love stories of Ms Vikki and the Angel, Nikki and her Guzmancito! So on to my last recap for this TN that I am sharing with Elvira. Raise your glass of Bailey's and join me in this recap. This part will not be in order and some scenes have been combined for better flow of the recap!
Nikki Meets Her Brother and Gets An Update:
Nikki has come to visit her Mama and meet her new bubby, Angelcito! She gets to hold him and Nikki tells her Mama she wants to recover from her bulima completely and then have as many bebes as Guzmancito wants, awwww..... Ms Vikki tells Nikki that Lili and Angel have reconciled with Cande. Cande is out of la carcel and Super, Superman has got his sight back. Oh, Happy Day!
Cemetary In Santa Rita:
Cande and the Angel have gone to the cemetary in Santa Rita to pay tribute to the Angel's daughter that died at birth. There is a grave marker, similar to the grave marker on Cris' grave and the name on it says Luna Arriaga Corona, so now we know what the bebe's name was. What a pretty name. Angel talks to the bebe and is glad she is now being rocked in her Mama's arms in heaven. I had to wipe my eyes, sorry.
 |
| Paying respect to little Luna. |
Carry On My Wayward Son:
Salsero and Frankie are having a meeting at their Bodyguard Institute and Salsa Dude gives Frankie the report on Kendho, also known as Macaria Chavez. They have also found out the results of the autopsy on Nellie. Nellie died of a heart attack and that's all it says. No traces of poison. Salsa Dude tells Frankie that the Ho killed Nellie for all his moola. Who knew? Of course we all knew, what else has she ever wanted?
Later, Salsa Dude gets a call from the Ho. She wants to be leaving soon, but Salsa Dude tells her to wait, if they leave right now it will look so suspicious, ya think? So there will be a meet later with Salsa Dude and Kendho and Frankie says what a surprise is in store for her.
Days Later:
Odette is in her office and reads an article about Anyballs and traffiking in diamonds. She fervently hopes he is caught toot suite!
 |
| She gloats over Anyballs' fate: Ill fortune couldn't happen to a nicer guy! |
Sing, Sing, Sing:
Polita and Jean Marie are in a park talking when all of a sudden they hear singing and of course Polita gravitates to the sound. The MC is one of the Hosts of Hoy the Daytime show, don't know his name, but he is hosting a contest called La Voz del Barrio, in other words, The Voice of the 'Hood. The grand prize is being able to sing with your favorite singer. Jean Marie tries to talk Polita into trying out, and Polita does say she has always dreamed of singing with Ana Barbara, her favorite singer. The gist is that Polita trys out, singing "La Puerto Negra", the audience loves her, and of course wins the contest and her chance to sing with Ana Barbara. Later, at the Balvnera Manse, Jean Marie and Polita are talking about her win, Ms Vikki overhears and congrats her on her win and the chance to sing with Ana Barbara. Ms Vikki goes off with little Angelito.
 |
| She volunteers with Jean Marie's encouragement . . . |
 |
| . . . and wins! |
There'll Be Peace When You Are Done!
Evidently the Ho kept her old place cause Espanto is there looking all hippy dippy. The Ho comes in and basically sings, She' In the Money! She tells Espanto she and Salsa Dude are leaving the country soon. She wants Espanto to take some pics of her and Salsa Dude and give them to Betty. It's not enough that the Ho is a muderess, she is also the breaker of innocent hearts, but then again, was there eva any good in this woman? I'm thinking not.
Meanwhile Salsa Dude is being wired up by Guzmancito and the Angel for his confrontation with the Ho, only she won't know it. This is to get evidence of all her various crimes she has participated in. Once they get this evidence they will be turning into Commandante Robles for him to arrest her. Salsa Dude is now all wired up.
 |
| Salsa-Dude sucks in his tummy as the guys get him ready with proper wiring. |
Back at the Ho's place, Espanto is messin' with that camera. The Ho gives him the rest of that jewelry she got as ransom, ya know from Vikki's house, and cash. Espanto is over the moon! She said something about maybe needing his services again in Brazil!
 |
| She looks so pretty. How can so much beauty contain so much evil? |
Salsa Dude is in the Ho's building and he is testing the wire to see if the Angel and Guzmancito can hear him. They are on the street in a parked van, of course, listening to every word. The sound check is good and they can hear him clear as a bell.
The doorbell rings in Hoville and of course the Ho answers herself and Espanto makes himself scarce. The Ho smoochies her Puchis, I hope poor Salsa Dude has some extra strength Listerine, jus' sayin'! Espanto is taking the pics of them smooching, and Puchis doesn't see him. Anyhoo, Salsa Dude plays right along with the Ho. She shows him the checks she has gotten and she's in the Money! Salsa Dude acts all happy for her. They have champagne. Are you crazy Salsa Dude, let her try hers first! He remarks she got all those millions for killing Nellie. Oh, and she is leaving Mia behind when she leaves with Salsa Dude, it would just hinder her, doncha know! Where is the anvil for this beyotch! Salsa Dude calls her by her real name Macaria Chavez and she is so not happy to hear that name! So now it comes down to the nitty gritty, as Salsa Dude leads her on, she confesses to every single crime she has committed, the kidnappings of Vikki and Nikki, killing Nabila. She finally tells Salsa Dude how Nellie died, same way Nabila did. She got some type of blowfish poison, and with that they died, all tied neatly up with a bow, and untraceable. Espanto is still taking pictures of them.
 |
| Espanto snaps a few pics of Salsa-Dude playing along with the Ho. |
She mentions something about fidelity, she wants that and he can assure her he will be. She also mentions Angel and Salsa Dude wants to know if she killed Cris. Course she did! She had to, cause Pau told her she was a Balvanera, and the Ho just couldn't be having that, she wanted allllll the moooolllllla. Angel down in the van, is mighty pithed and wants to go up there and take her out, but Guzmancito calms him down and tells him to wait, they really need this evidence in order for her to end up in la carcel! The Ho is getting her skank on and removes Salsa Dude's jacket. Now we all know where this is leading and poor Salsa Dude is trying to avoid her advances like the plague and still play along, but unfortunately as she unbuttons Salsa Dude's shirt, she finds the wire. She can't beleive he is trying to entrap her and how he wants to expose her as Macaria Chavez! Badda Bing, Badda Boom and here we end this epi.
 |
| More playing along with the Ho. |
 | ||
Yep, they're sure getting an earful (read the CCs!).
|
 |
| Unrepentant Salsa-Dude tells her that the game is up. Sucks to be you, Ho! (It needs to be said twice.) |
Avances:
There really weren't any, just repeats of what happened before, so does Salsa Dude survive the Ho? Will Anyballs be caught? Will Ms Vikki and The Angel marry? Will Nikki and Guzmancito get married? What about poor Mia? What about Roy and LiliLu?
Tune in Este Domingo for the final installment of this Gran Finale!

I'm looking forward to the recap, ladies!
LOL @ the caption
Geez, Angel Jr. did inherit his daddy's genes. Kudos to Victoria for delivering such a big baby (at the age of 45!).

TOTAL NERD ALERT!!!! In the birth scene, all I could think of was the ending to Jane Eyre, when Rochester is able to recuperate enough sight to see his infant son. Up until that, my favorite scene of the episode was Polita cleansing the Balvanera household. That had me cracking up like crazy, especially her garlic earrings! Looks like we won’t see anybody fall down the staircase after all.
Jean Marie married the love of his life and Polita got a happy ending too. La Voz de tu Barrio! Ha! With Nikki and Vikki happy with their respective parejas, it looks like the only storylines that remain unresolved are The Ho, Espanto, and poor Salsatriz. Anibal’s done for.
Kendrat’s Karmageddon needs to be the Karmageddon of all Karmageddons. Murdering for money is one thing, but throwing a baby in a dump? QUÉ. ASCO. She could have at least left Mia with her nurse.
The Bob Marley costume made a totally random encore appearance! Thank you writers.

Thank you for the screen caps!
I LOL at the scene in which Big Angel learned that Kendra's nickname for him is "ranchero karateca"!
Yay! Aniballs is getting his comeuppance!!! I thought for sure Gilda would be loyal but the old goat was wrong! Ha! Hope that wasn't the last we'll see of him, he needs to be extradited to Mexico, perhaps missing some limbs, where he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. I know I'm a little sadistic but only when it come TN villains lol

Madelaine and Elvira: I am sure you (the dynamic duo) will do a masterful job with this - the screen shots set the perfect tone.
While JA's smile (with miraculously restored vision) of utter delight lit up the room, Vicky's joyful tears of love for her new born son made my heart ache. There was no doubt who was the more emotional, for once (and it was entirely fitting), it was Vicky.
Equally emotional was JA's visit to the grave of his dead daughter. The cycle of life continues but the past is acknowledged, respected and mourned.
Aribeth, the baby was a bit of a beautiful bruiser, wasn't he??
Bailey Marie, excellent reference to Jane Eyre.
Lily, I am assuming (no spoiler) Anibal won't live to see extraiction (?)
Diana

(deleted & re-posted to correct a typo... gah)
I'm still laughing over Mía's black mourning outfit. Who knew there was black funeral attire for babies?
Mexico's Got Talent! Her name is Polita! Yaaaaayyyyy! This will be her happy ending and that is good. She sounded great last night.
I can NOT believe one of my predictions actually came thru --- JA got his sight back when the baby was born. Usually whatever I guess is completely, 100% wrong., LOL
Wow, I actually saw the "Dias Despues" lettering on my TV screen last night. A first! ;-)
I'm looking forward to the recap.
Dear recapping team,
Elvira, Madelaine, NovelaMaven, Aribeth, Marta, and Cynderella,
THANK YOU for all your labor and time you put into recapping AV for us. I truly, truly appreciate y'all. Such a major time commitment and I am grateful. My heartfelt thank you, again! Y'all
rock!

I taped it and didn't allow enough time for the end and previews so I will wait impatiently for the recap. Mia was thrown in the dump? Dios mio!!
I have fixed my timing on the Gran Final for Sunday night.
Thanks to all the AV recappers. You have done a spectacular job.

Surely Mía wasn't left at the dump! I heard Kendra say "basura" or STTE, but I didn't understand it all.
Hello everyone.
I had an afternoon where I kept on saying, "No puedo." I just couldn't get my behind in gear.
I have a bottle of Mountain Dew and hope the caffeine will rejuvenate me!

Doris, Kendras plan was to ditch Mia in a trash can, I supose being left in a trash can is better than living with Kendra.
I'm going to thank you both in advance for what I am sure will be a literal masterpiece.
Now that most of the major loose ends have been tied up, I'm very happy for Polita. That cleansing really worked ;-)
I'm not a violent person, but I don't want to see Kendra arrested I want her to suffer slowly. Maybe get hit by a truck and let it go back and forth over her body. Leaving that baby in the trash is the last straw for me. What a sociopath!
Anibal looks like his money won't get him out of this one.
Poor Salerno, I do hope that somehow it all works out for him.

Wow! I thought Anyball's confessions were a long list, but nothing like Dances got out of Macaria The black widow... Poor Dances, I think he will be toast, as much as I hate to think Bea will get the short stick again... For her sake I hope Dances makes it. Otherwise she will always have that dark shadow of 'I only attract creeps and they repent too late to stick around.' Poor Guillo too.
The 'My Goodness! its a miracle! I can see you!' was sweet but at same time way over the top... if that makes any sense.
Wouldn't it have been funny that kenDrat gave Espanto/Inepto all the cash from the life insurance policy counting on the shares of the business and now Espanto/Inepto is gone and will probably hide from her, and she has been left with nothing!! LOL!!
That would be great!
Thanks so much Elvira for all the screen captures!!

I had company last night, so I only saw bits and pieces. Yikes, I actually felt sorry for Animalnwith those animals. He is so old. I was concernd for the actor being trussed up like that. Did the ho actually put that poor baby in a trash can ? I did see Dances trying to trap the ho and her discovering the wire on his undershirt while she was trying to undress him. knowsing the ho as well as he'd does, shouldn't he have known she might do this ? I did not see zany thing after Espanto bashed him on ther head with the camera.

Elvira and Mads- Really enjoying the recap so far. The loose ends are getting tied up nicely. Just Kendra, Anibal, Espanto, and Salsero's fates are still undecided/unclear. Although now there is enough evidence tp put all four of them in jail. Sorry Salsero. With that recording we better hope jail is the worst that he gets and not death at the hands of Kendra and Espanto.
Well, I guess we also don't know if Cande will have to serve time. She's just out on bail right now. But she has realized what a fool she was to trust Anibal.
Little Mia was so cute at the funeral. She was out like a light as she was passed from hand to hand. That's the first time I've seen a little child/baby dressed in mourning clothes in a tn. They usually make a point of keeping the little kids dressed normally.

Mads and Elvira - thanks in advance for the recap. I'm enjoying the first part.
Bailey Marie - thanks for the JE reference.
Lily - ITA w/you about only being a meanie when it comes to the fates of TN villains, LOL.
Diana - for some reason I thought Chris and JA's child was a boy but also glad he finally got to mourn her. It was also nice he could be content that his daughter was now with Chris.
Doris - congrats on your guess; I laughed when JA got his sight back and thought someone really nailed that plot.

Elvira and Madelaine, what a super job you both did. You managed to capture the excitement and spice it with humor. The photos are wonderful.
So only Susanlynn are feeling sympathy for poor old Aníbal? Don't forget you guys, he's not only old but has a weak heart. Heck I was feeling bad for him all alone on that jet plane, but now... Yikes!
By the way, wasn't one of his captors our old friend Coyote from MEPS?
Carlos

Marta, Elvira, NovelaMaven, Aribeth, Madelaine, Cynderella - Thanks for the fabulous recaps. I'm going to miss your recaps as much as the show.
Angel's words at his dead baby's grave -- that he takes comfort in knowing Luna is being rocked by her mom in heaven -- was so moving. Kudos to the writers of that scene.
Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I see an underlying theme of forgiveness running through AV. Hopefully it'll include Salsero and he'll stick around.
I want Anibal to go down, but didn't like seeing him brutalized either. I would prefer to see him do a perp walk before his family and Odette.
I will miss the recaps and all the comments. I'm off on vacation tomorrow and not sure if I'll have access to see AV tomorrow or visit Caray. Thanks to all for making this such a fun ride.

@Lily, I loved JA's reaction to the "ranchero karateca" moniker too. He was all, "Oh no she didn't!"
Dang, I still have yet to see "dias despues" on the screen. Am I going blind?
I'm going to miss AV a lot, and the recaps even more. Thanks for making this such an enjoyable TN experience!

Thanks double thanks to you two super recappers. I was so looking forward to this capitulo. I had just arrived home from the Wyoming mountains, took my seat on the patio when the impossible happened! A 90 mph wind brought rain, hail and various debris slamming against my house on top of a loma and was actually horizontal so delivered mucho agua en mi comedor. I always joked that flood insurance was the last thing I needed on this hill. It lasted for an hour accompanied by constant lightning and thunder. Willa was nervous and stayed close by my side. The result was that 15 minutes into the AV we lost power in the neighborhood for 5 hours so I am totally grateful for the two fabulous descriptions and analyses of the events!
I can't believe KenfHo would put that darling Mia in the trash. We are restored and I am ready to see her get the biggest of pie carts tonight. I hope the writers take pity on poor Betty and let the sexy SalsaMan survive. I love the superb work all the recappers have done with this memorable telenovela. Mil gracias.

Cheryl -- what a frightening experience! I hope your house didn't sustain much damage from the flooding. Ay ay ay.
Aribeth and Madelaine:
What can I say? Your last recap for this fun novela is spectacular, a pleasure from start to finish. Thank you for this and for all the others you gave us during the looooong run of this show. You are champs, both of you!
For me the only interesting question left is how the writers resolve the Salsa Dude story. I am hoping he gets a second chance -- not only is he truly repentant but the fate of Beatriz and Guillo hinges on his fate. And hasn't Beatriz grieved enough?
I'm not really into vengeance fantasies. For me it's enough to know that the villains are thwarted and kept from doing harm in the future. [I dislike the handful of telenovelas that have left the viewer with the uneasy feeling that the villain may strike again.]
I'm quite ready to see lots of happy people dandling lots of plump babies on their knees.
"And they lived happily ever after."

In tandem and tremendous Elvira and Madelaine. Simply great.
Again, the screen shots added so much dimension - special thanks for "...a gratuitous Vicente shot, for which I make no apology!" Sigh...
Elvira, "I think the demons are actually a Ho in widow's weeds and an old grandpa douchebag chilling in Nuevo York", "liquor-swilling gramps" and "Vikki's not having much fun at the moment either, but the outcome of her discomfort will be much more happy than with Gramps" were among my favorites.
Madelaine, your choice of a theme for the captions was inspired starting with "Carry On, My Wayward Son". "She looks so pretty. How can so much beauty contain so much evil?" and "It's not enough that the Ho is a muderess, she is also the breaker of innocent hearts, but then again, was there eva any good in this woman?"were more of my favorites.
I'm fervently hoping along with Niecie that "I see an underlying theme of forgiveness running through AV" will include Santino...
Karen, I thought the scene of JA and Cande at the cemetary was well done and a lovely tribute to his lost daughter. May she be happy cradled in her mother's arms in heaven.
Carlos, yes! I remembered the TN but not the name. Coyote!
I would also like to thank Elvira, Madelaine, NovelaMaven, Aribeth, Marta, and Cynderella for their insight, time and dedication. You made this delightful journey even more special. The commenters are also greatly appreciated.
Missing Anita (the "I heart Anita" t shirts have flown out of the store and left the shelves empty)...
Can't wait until tonight.
Diana

Mads and Elvira --- thank you for the recap! Well done and I enjoyed the screen caps, too!
I have a bad feeling that Anibal is going to end up as fish food, at the bottom of the Hudson River, wearing concrete boots.
Seriously, this diamond fencing thing is too crazy. Writers must have had to concoct it in order to get rid of Anibal with no blood on the hands of our D.F. characters.
Salsero will probably get shot and nearly die, but not quite. Then his redemption will be earned. Just my guess, because the whole thing has become rather formulaic.
As for Kendra's fate, I'm tuning in to see what the writers do to her. Can't wait! Must see TV!
However, Kendra has looked particularly beautiful in all her scenes with Salsero, this week; more natural hair and make-up. I realize now that the actress really is pretty without all that harsh make-up .
The guy getting the diamonds from Anibal's safe looked awfully familiar. Which other telenovela has he been in?

That actor that got the diamonds from Anyballs' safe was in Corazon Salvaje as a friend of Juan del Diablo, he was a fisherman in that one. He was also in another TN, the title escapes me at the moment. He has always been a character actor. He usually play a good guy.

I hope that Big Angel and the Guz can save Dances so that he can keep on dancing. They were listening and heard the wire ripped off. Go save the poor guy from super ho and her sidekick The Latin Lon Chaney, man of a thousand faces.

Polita gives a great solo performance and the great Caray duet of Elvira and Madelaine did the same. A BIG thank you.
Elvira---Salsa Dude is on Trap-the
Ho-duty. I know that catching Kendra is serious but I nearly laughed my head off when I read---
Salsa Dude is on Trap-the-Ho-duty.
Great one Elvira.
Madelaine---How can so much beauty
contain so much evil?
It sucks to be a Ho!
I hope that Salsa Dude has some extra strength Listerene, jus' sayin'
These were great lines as well.
I might add though that if he got hit in the head hard enough with that camera, he won't have to worry
about listerene anymore. It coud be curtains for him but let's hope not.
Luna Arriaga Corona---What a pretty name, I just love it. Too bad the little baby died.
I guess that Espanto ran out of disguises. This was the second time around for the Bob Marley look
Susanlynn---You won't have to feel
sorry for Anyballs much longer. He
didn't come through with/ deliver
the diamonds, He's not long for this earth. At this point, his breaths are numbered. He saw his family for last time, he isn't commin' back.
Polita gives a great performance as the Voice in the Hood and comes
in first. Way to go Polita. A chance to sing with Ana Barbara, WOW! You did it girl. Polita rocks!
Can't wait for the Sunday special tonight. Two weddings? Will Salsa Dude live? How will it all end for the Ho? But best of all---Nikki and the Little Orchid are finally
friends. YEAH!!!

Mads - I didn't watch the Meh-ía version of CS but probably saw him in the other telenovela you mentioned, but neither of us can remember the name.
What I really like about this tn is that most of the couples are together already - and not just in the final episode: Vikki and JA; Nikki and Guzman; Adri and Vicente; JM and Stefano; Salsero and Bea (even though this might be a switch and they end up apart in the final episode); and Licia and Roy (he'll be back, I'm sure). I'm also glad that they didn't stretch the beanie too much and pair up EVERYBODY (Polita, Zambrano, Tomasina, Felipe, Gilda, etc)! Oh, wait, the finale is still to come - I may have to eat my words. Oh, nooooooo!

The cast of AV will be on Sal y Pimienta which will air after the grand finale of AV.

@Anonymous, I'm totally with you on that. Thank GOD we got all the Nikki/Guzman jealousy stuff over with. Best of all is that Licia (good one) and Nikki are finally friends.
Regarding the remaining single characters, I think Polita got her happy ending by winning La Voz de tu Barrio. Zambrano and Gilda seem too random to get love interests (although Gilda pretty much turned Annyballs over to the police).
My heart would be soooooo happy if Tomasina and Felipe became a couple, especially after Tomasina had that icky (but thankfully brief) romance with Espanto.

The grand finale of AV is not listed in my TV schedule. Is it on tonight ? Parodiando is listed from 8 to 10 followed by Sal y Pimienta. Que. ?????

The grand finale is on tonight. Starts at 8pm to 10pm. The schedule probably did not update itself yet.

Elvira thank you for the great recap. It was lovely.
I can't believe little Mia did not cry when she was trying to sleep and the mean ladies kept passing her around between them.

Madelaine and Elvira, a little late but a sincere thank you to two very funny and talented ladies. You made the recaps so enjoyable as much or more so than the novela and I really fell in love with this novela...a drama but with so much romance and a cute sense of humor. And the screencaps are always so perfect.
