Mentir Para Vivir #12 Tue 10/22/13 After Seeing How the Other Half Lives, Maria has a Spaz
Outside, Ricky tells Piero to hire Berto. He thinks Berto may have killed Gabriel or hired someone to do it. Berto had no business in San Carlos. He's a deadbeat, who lives off of his sister. Berto knew that Gabriel would have left Lila out of the will and she would have been left with nothing. Ricky heard Berto telling Ines that he’d seen her in San Carlos. He wants Piero to get close to him and milk him for info. He doesn’t think that Oriana or Rhodalina could have shot Gabriel. Women don't have the smarts or strength to aim a gun and fire. Now that he knows that Berto was there and he's stuck his tongue down Oriana's throat, he has his doubts. Murderers don't kiss like that. He's sure of it. Piero thinks that that’s a lot of coincidences, but he agrees to help.

I'll respond to your comments when I get home.
I fell asleep before the episode came on, so the dvr continues to pile up. But I can't believe the "your brother is really your daddy" secret is already out, and that the galan seems to know the truth about the heroine, and doesn't care!
I read through the recaps and comments, and I see there is mention of a portrait of a relative that looks a lot like Oriana. I think we can bet that this means Ori is indeed a relative. In La Fuerza del Destino (same producer, same writers, same galan), there was also a portrait of a relative (the real father of the galan) in a prominent place that looked exactly like the galan, just with grey hair and a beard (DZ looks good with a beard). The camera didn't linger on it long, no one pointed out the resemblance, but it was pretty obvious when you took the time to look at it. I'm sure they're using the same device here.
Have we found out anything about Oriana's family? Is she adopted?
Finally I know the actress playing Madhilde. She was Helena's mom, Silvia, in Por ella soy Eva. She looks so different. Leticia Perdigón is the actress.
I have to watch again, I must have dozed off.
They have never said if Orinana was adopted, just that she has no family, except for Jose Luis and Lina of course. I bet she was and is related to Paloma. That picture they keep showing is too much of a co-incidence. I remember the one from LFDD too ; )
Thanks so much for your fab recap. So funny and snarky.
I am really liking the pace of this TN. The plot is moving so well. I am glad that Ricky is suspicious of Berto. But don't Berto and Raquel make a good pair?
Liked your Oscar Wilde quote, how true!
A few left over odds 'n ends from yesterday's capitulo: a) Either I dozed off or there was a continuity error, but in the scene where Orines is in the car with Padre Plaid, the scene takes place in daylight (in front of Ricky's house,I believe), then after the break they are still in Padre's car, but it is now NIGHT time and I "think" it is now in front of Paloma's house. Maybe I'm being too picky, but is the distance between Paloma's house and Ricky's house that great that it would go from broad daylight to night in such a short amount of time? The conversation in the car didn't lead me to believe that there had been a driving break. b) Paloma of the All Knowing Eyes really does not like that Antonio guy (the one we think is really SabeNada's father). I know this was mentioned yesterday, but when I saw the scene again, I was really struck by the background music AND the look on Paloma's face. Paloma knows a lot about this guy Antonio and I think it is much more than she is letting on as her reaction to him kissing her hand was almost one of revulsion.
No doubt the men in our Viewerville audience are probably thinking that Raquel is such a cutie, etc, etc, but last night, she was getting on my nerves. She's not quite in the brazen category, but she is getting there.
No one, however, tops that SLIME Berto. Oh my gosh, that man almost makes me want to barf when I see him. He has this puny little face which is made even punier (is there such a word?) and slimier (is there such a word?) with the ugly beard and greasy hair. He looks like a gigolo. He is a leech and, yet, he thinks that Orines would fall for his ugly self. I could have BARFED!!!
Ricky is playing the "keep your enemies close" card with Berto, but I can see this man wasting no time in trying to swindle, embezzle, or some such.
If Ricky doesn't watch it, he is going to lose focus what with SabeNada, Maria, Berta, and Raquel distracting him, not to mention the hots he has for Orines.
Yes, Vivi in DC, we all pretty much came to the agreement that Orines HAS to be related to Paloma after we first saw that portrait in Orines' room. It was just too obvious to miss.
Thank you to the mahvelous Cynderella!!

I've watched the Corazon Indomable off and on and honestly, I can't for the life of me, see why that novela got higher ratings in Mexico than MPV. This is my understanding from reading the comments on CI.
CI just seems so messed up and screwed up and "strange". The writing seems to have gone out the window. The writing on MPV is good with writers who are AWARE of their plots and sub plots and where they are headed.
I'm just really curious as to why CI would trump MPV in the ratings. Hope to hear from you as I very much enjoyed your insightful comments on QBA.
Gracias!

1) En Nombre del Amor: German- Lazy bad boy who betrays his best friend, impregnates the bad girl (Altair Jaraibo/Raquel), and is redeemed in the end.
2)Dinero: Rizos- Hot boxer, tough guy, and all around good guy.
3) Cuando me Enamoro: Chema- Loveable and cute young chef, with mile long lashes, who woos an older woman (who plays his older sister in this tn).
4) La Fuerza de Destino: Saul- Insecure, evil, country bumpkin, rich boy, rapist.
5) Por Ella Soy Eva: Renato- Closeted gay, uptight, workaholic pretty boy.
I think he’s one of my favorite non-galan actors.
Raquel is turning very ugly, but the slap fest was hilarious. I've never slapped someone before, but after watching that I want to do it, except I would do it much harder than they did. I wish they would keep their fights more private and more quiet. With Madhilde lurking around every corner, she's going to overhear them one day.
So no DNA evidence=still alive. No question.
Didn't Raquel offer Berto a chance to stay at her new hotel? I fear that they are going to team up to defeat Ricardo and Ines.
In yesterday's episode, when Orines was telling Raquel to go ahead and blab that she, Orines, was an imposter,I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering if Matilde would pop up in a poof of smoke! LOL! You're right, tho'. Orines and Raquel need to keep the arguments just a bit more private.

Also, I can't help but think that Piero is a good guy down deep and he'll eventually fess up about Maria, or at least not deny sleeping with her that night if confronted.
Glad Oriana turned down Ricardo. He's got a little bit to learn about seduction. "My son just found out I'm his dad, so let's make love" just doesn't cut it.
It would’ve been cute if Lina had a Colombian accent, but to me it’s realistic that it’s Mexican. I have a friend with a strong Bronx accent, and even though her youngest son was raised in Maryland he has it too – I guess thanks to those formative years before school.
Madelaine - "But don't Berto and Raquel make a good pair?" Sí! And I'm afraid I might wind up liking them too much.
"I'm too tired to make it funny!
Well, thank goodness... I'd probably have died alaughin'.
cathyx,
"Raquel is turning very ugly..."
Are we watching the same show? When last I saw her last night she was smokin' hot.
Carlos
Fatima - though the ratings for CI are high, in Mexico its played in the late afternoon not prime time. I don't know if that makes a difference. Unfortunately, it seems that Uni only uses Mexican ratings as a gauge and excuse to cut up La Tempestad to bits.
Cathyx - you are not bad for having glee regarding the bratty Sebastian. I hope he is able to turnaround by the end of the tn for Ricardo's sake but not holding my breathe.
Carlos, I so enjoy your consistent support of the bad girls in tns.
I, too, do not understand the reasoning behind cutting and pasting La Tempestad. Mauricio over there (and the other recappers) go to great lengths to piece the whole story together. That is a lot of work!!
