Caray, Caray!

Hola Y'all. The recap will be up soon ; )
 

That pumpkin spice coffee sounds good. I may have to track some down.

Jarifa
 

As I always say, don't apologize for your masterpiece. Your literary art takes time. I hope that you have enjoyed your coffee.
 

I can't wait to read it! I just discovered Caray, Caray! and love the witty recaps!
 

Yumm...pumpkin spice coffee sounds delicious. Is that a Starbucks flavor ? I usually just buy Folgers , but I might be tempted to try that one.
 

Oh my, you have us all salivating over your pumpkin spice coffee. It was equally grim here, weather-wise. But with a cup of plain ol'JetFuel coffee I got out for a walk in the park before the drizzle turned to out and out rain.

Veronica continues her downward path and Paty's looking remarkably spry for someone who was 'battling between life and death" a couple of days ago. Dear old Chucho and Alma also continue...to be borrrrrring.
 

My friend Gerardo likes all those ID flavors in his coffee, all 24 of them!! For me, just plain coffee and milk. The catch? I need more then one cup.

Let the killing begin!

What I saw friday night was:

Luisita naked with her privates properly blurred (do they really needed to do that?, really? And I mean the nudity, not the blurrity.

Picture taken with our POV instead of the one of the photographer.

Dr Osorio, you are needed in the emergency room, Dr Osorio!! Really?

Vero first blamed the drugs she took during the 60s, they she changed to organic and healty, then she blamed it on the hormones and now she is blaming it on the post-partum depression. So good there's always something to blame..!

Jesús is truly omnipresent! He can be saving Richard from the gambling house and seconds later in the hospital checking on Rogelio's son. Wow! Lucky Alma!

This is not a stupid test.
Fernando wanted to test Xóchitl's trust. Whhaatt? Really? That woman who doesn't kill a fly, and you are all if you don't trust me we'll divorce right now! How stupid is that!

Yes! One day Fernandito will marry Luisita and then we all be like ''the stupids''
Have you heard the song? Here it is:

I AM MY OWN GRANDPA

Many many years ago, when I was 23
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed
This made my dad my son in law and changed my very life
For my daughter was my mother in law, she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter, even when it brought me joy
I soon became the father of a little baby boy
Im my own grandpa.
My little boy became a brother in law to dad and so became my uncle
And if he was my uncle that also made him brother
of the widows daughter who wa smy step-mother
My father's wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild cause he was my daughters son
My wife is now my mother's mother which it makes me blue
Because although she is my wife she is my grandmother too
As husband of my granmother
I am my own grandpa
 

The recap is up y'all. I have included my homemade recipe for the pumpkin spice coffee, it's very delicious. Please enjoy the recap ; )
 

Madelaine, your recipe looks delicious. Now I know what to do with leftover pumpkin when I bake. Your wonderful recap hit all of the highlights and the many lowpoints of this episode. "Killeronica" is perfect. She has turned into a killing machine!

Alma has to start using her head and ban Marcia /Marta from her home after the tug of war with the baby and her appropriate gut reaction. Poor Xochi didn't know her marriage was almost over before it barely started but she was a pita re: Alicia. Let us hope Chatita solves the puzzle of her attacker Monday night. Only the monkey writers know . . . and they are also working on CI. So little time; so much convoluted writing for them to do!

Pablo, the poem was very funny. I had never seen it before.

Jarifa
 

Jarifa, the "poem" is actually an old song. Pablo's grasp of our culture is amazing. You must have lived here many years, Pablo and really gotten around. I heard that funny song (usually by a country singer) growing up.

Mads...you are one creative cook! Well, you're just flat out creative, I know that from your clever recaps. Thanks amiga mia.
 

Thanks.
First time I heard it in the movie THE STUPIDS I found it very funny.

Here is a link to a video on YT:

Awesome, fabulous Mads! Oh, and the recap was great too!! ( Pumpkin is on my shopping list so I can make a tart--get a little extra now for this coffee. YUM)

I will now make a confession--but Rog and the bebe made me melt. Now, that said, a premie would NOT be taken out of the incubator like that and just handed to a father in a hallway....but I'll park the total foolishness of that scene and enjoy the actor and little actor in the making. Honestly...anyone else notice that the male actors in TN's lately are better with the kiddies than the females?

Naming the little one after his bro sort of convinces me that we will be seeing this little angel eventually in the hands of Xochi and Ferny as the parents. Still think Rog's past will catch up with him--probably by Virus ratting him out, and he'll wind up in jail.

If there was any doubt the Virus was stepping over the edge, adding her own daughter to her vengeance list seals that. And I'm still of the mind since this is supposed to be a comedy, that she will get redeemed some how. My brain might implode when that happens.

Was happy Ferny had that talk with Xochi. And that should mean the writers will get her to stop whining. The whole Cardy/Jessica mess- just stupid. Guess they had to pick on one couple. And as for Richie Ric, all signs point to him losing it all and back to sleeping on a pallet soon. And I still don't care.

Off to buy the pumpkin!!
 

Thank you Madelaine for snappy recap to,a filler episode and thank you for,the recipe.
I'm glad that the Xochy- Ferny storyline was exposed because it was tiring.
I love the new name Killeronica, it's so appropriate. She is seriously taking a downward spiral. She needs help in the worst way.
Pablo, thank you for the poem, it was hilarious as always.
 

Mads, thanks so much for this recap and recipe. Though I don't drink coffee, I'm going to try and tweak it into another type of warm beverage.

Killeronicam, wow. I didn't think a "comedy" character could be so horrible though Uni has a tendency to make women particularly villainous.

It was cute Rog named his child after Ferny.
 

Coming in late.... Bernabe looks like Ben Vereen on steroids... Pablo, I guess the producers took a trip to Veracruz to find this actor...lol

JubyB. 2nd W of the year...by the skin of our teeth, but still a W. We go to Denver next week...oh my!!
 

Maybe he is also from Puerto Rico, like Jéssica...
 

Mads, so sorry for the late comment. I had such a busy weekend! Great recap and oh my, your pumpkin coffee recipe is making me drool. Thanks amiga, now I have another great recipe to add to my Caray Caray recipe book, "Mad Madelaine's Pumpkin Coffee".
 

Thanks, Mads! Sillier and sillier (the TN, not you -- well, you are a *little* bit silly.)

I can't believe they're still bringing in new characters! These are the strangest ultimas I've ever seen. Maybe for the final I'll just dress up as a monkey with a typewriter.
 

Good Morning Y'all and thanks for all your kind words.

Anon 5:17:

Welcome to Caray Caray. Come back often and comment away.

Susanlynn:

I make a lot of my stuff homemade, although I confess I have had the Starbucks version. I like mine better, less sweet, more pumpkin.

JudyB:

Jetfuel coffee??? Sounds like the coffee we used to make in the Navy in the flight line shack! It would make your hair stand on end, lol.

Pablo:

Thanks for the poem/song and the Stupids movie, lol. Not my cup of tea, but Mr. Mads loved that movie.

Jarifa:

Yes, this is a good way to use leftover pumpkin. I am afraid of what Killeronica is going to do next. I wish the anvil would hit her already!

JudyB:

Thanks so very much amiga!

Pablo:

Thanks so much for the link. Very funny : )

Anon 10:15:

So agree with all you said about our TN : )

TJ:

Thank you. Where is that anvil for Killeronica? I keep hoping it drops on her and the one for Marta too. Enough with this craziness already.

Karen:

Thank you. You can also use this recipe for tea, a strong one, like Irish or English Breakfast. You know Killeronica's character reminds me of that whack job, Violetta, from UFCS. She was just as bad.


 

Lee Fox:

Thank you. Yes, Bernabe does remind me of Ben Vereen. He has got some moves.

Cap'n:

Thank you! We should publish the Caray Caray cookbook. There have been so very many good recipes here : )

Blue:

Thanks! I am silly, lol. You have to be to recap this one ; ) I too can't understand all these characters just showing up at the last minute. Total filler. They are being wrapped up quickly though : ) I also laughed about you dressing up as a monkey with a typewriter, lol. You must post an avatar, like you did with the Pasion Pit, lol.
 

OT:

Yesterday, while watching PARA VOLVER A AMAR, I saw the commercial for the next TN after PEAM. It is LO QUE LA VIDA ME ROBO, by Angelli Nesma. They said it would start on November, and since PEAM is ending soon, I put 2 and 2 together. In the ad, I remember seeing Alexis Ayala and Angelique Boyer. It is a remake of AMOR REAL (Bodas de odio) but in the present time.
Make little monkeys (cross your fingers).
 

Hey, I just went on Google to look for something, and they have a nice Celia Cruz graphic -- today's her birthday, apparently -- with peacock feathers!
 

Ooh, you beat me to it, Blue! I just saw Celia Cruz's birthday.

Pablo, at first I was very grumpy when I read that Lo Que La Vida Me Robo might be next, but then I looked at the cast. Sergio Sendel AND Sebastian Rulli? Yes please!!
 

Mads - thank you thank you for this recap. I saw this epi on Friday night but my entire memory of it evaporated over the weekend.

I enjoyed watching Rogelio hold his son for the first time. For a guy who enjoys power as much as Rog does, it must be a really great feeling to realize that you can create a human being without hardly even trying.

Vero is acting and talking so crazy now, I have to wonder if she has a brain tumor.

I heard the "I'm My Own Grandpa" song once, and only once, when I was a kid. It was sung by Paul Lynde - it was that long ago. Despite hearing it only once, I still remember it! In fact, I can almost picture him singing it. I really loved that guy.
 

Ah. Wikipedia (which could certainly be wrong) says Lo Que La Vida Me Robo will be on at 9, not at 8. So it wouldn't be replacing PEAM unless they are also planning to move whatever's on at 9 now to 8 (unless that one's ending too?).

However, just like that other TN with Jaime Camil we were talking about last week, something about Pobres Tan Ricos, it would also be running just a few weeks behind the Mexican broadcast. Odd.

I hope I don't have to decide between Robo and Ricos, because I don't have time for both. (I barely have time for one!)
 

Sergio AND Sebastian? SERIOUSLY? Sign me up!!!
 

OK
Right now on ''primetime'' are
CI
PEAM
LT
MPV
Since the only onw close to end is PEAM and they said starting in November. I assumed they were talking about it. They still didn't say what time.
Since the last two are not ending soon, and CI hasn't started yer its ULTIMAS SEMANAS, maybe ROBO will replace PEAM and POBRES will replace CI.

Could the times be wrong due to the different time zones?
 

On Canal de las Estrellas, Lo Que La Vida etc. is replacing La Tempestad. We'll see. I don't want to get too excited, but Wikipedia says it also has two of my favorite TN actresses: Daniela Castro and Margarita Magana. Looks like an all-star cast!
 

And Luis Gatica for dessert!
 

It said 9pm eastern/8 central. But that's wikipedia. The times could just plain be wrong, period.
 

Robo will be replacing LT which is being chopped up so much, it should end in early December.

Ricos will be replacing PEAM. It is on the Uni website.

CI isn't even in Ultimas Semanas yet so we don't know what is replacing that one, except maybe the remake of Secundo Madre which stars Susana Gonzales.
 

Oh, as far as how far ahead a TN is in Mexico before they air it here, Refugio was not that far ahead in Mexico when they started airing it here. Also Robo will not be that far behind airing here also. LT ends this Sunday in Mexico. It will end up being only 122 epis.
 

We'll see...

I remember the word NOVEMBER and nothing else ends in november except PEAM, right?
23 episodes left equals 1 month and half a week.

Unless Univisión advertise something and then say. Ups, sorry, our bad, wrong ad, please forgive us, yeah right!

BTW, on IMDB (what is almost as inexact as wiki) Jaime Camil doesnt have POBRES in his filmography.
 

Pablo,

They did do that with Una Familia con Suerte. They advertised it way ahead of time and it finally aired like five months later.
 

Actually, Univision did that with UFCS. They advertised it for several weeks as "muy pronto," but then those ads suddenly disappeared and they aired something else instead. They didn't mention Familia again until months later. (But they didn't say they were sorry!)
 

Ha! Sorry, Madelaine! I guess I'm still sore about the whole UFCS scheduling thing. Delaying it for months and then doubling up the episodes. Grrr!!
 

Julie:

I was mad when they did that. I think it had to do with the extention of Dinero. I can't stand when they double up episodes. Didn't they start that with Dinero, then UFCS, then Refugio. I hope we never have those again.
 

Did Minerva tell Alma that “Marcia” was going to take the baby for an outing? I would have stopped letting her visit if someone had told me that someone who is practically a stranger was going to take my baby for an outing. And why are they letting a “practically a stranger” have access to their child, anyway?

Is it a badge of honor for a TN to go to 180+ eps? I’m one of the very, very, VERY few who like this TN, but I’m ready for it to end—and not like CME or AB during ultimas semanas where you’re torn between wanting it to never end and wanting to see what happens to everybody (usually the big bads) at the end. This time I’m just wanting it to be done.

Having a major character leave ¾ of the way through had them scrambling to fill a lot of screen time. These writers just weren’t up to the task.

Don’t rain fire on me, but I feel a little sorry for Vero. Not that I don’t want her anvil to be big (though, since she didn’t die in childbirth, I don’t want death for her). Not that I condone anything she’s done. I just look at her and see what her life might have been like if she just hadn’t pinned all her hopes on getting Jesus. I figure Vero will end up in the psych hospital with Marta—and/or Marcia, if she gets trapped there for eternity since Marcia may be driven mad by having spent all that time in the madhouse.

Madelaine, sorry to be so very late checking in. This was a wonderful recap of a more and more distressing plot. I admire your ability to keep your head above the slime!! while you deliver a detailed and excellent retelling.

Thanks too for the pumpkin spice coffee. I can't wait to try it.
