Corazon Indomable Episode #129: The Various Coats of Octavio Narvaez
Labels: Indomable
Miguel and Octavio are beyond words! Simona does crazy well. 129 episodes down about 33 more to go!
Good job with this miserably hard to follow and fathom story. You missed nothing, because the plot never advances. And I loved the multi coated Octavio references.
Why is the Padre the one who must inform MC of the situation?
What is Vargas's position? I thought he was a cop and now he was called Ingeniero. None of this part makes sense at all.
Perito has no idea how a woman gets pregnant, and he doesn't even know he had sex with her, like the rest of the cast.
Today Octavio wants to keep Simona at home, then commit her, then keep her at home. Monday will be the same.
Today MC doesn't want to marry Alvaro, then she does. Expect the same on Monday.
So a woman who gave up her deaf daughter at birth will know exactly where to find her. Makes total sense to me.
Miguel needs to go someway or another.
Jarifa
Also, for a show that is so high on morals, unlike say PEAM, the writers have made Solita pregnant twice now, raped, and now married behind her sister's back all by the age of what? 17? What is the age of consent in MX?
One last thing, Solitas mother looks like she is in her mid to late 50's at best. That means she had Solita around 40. Isn't that kinda old to be abandoning your daughter?
I can't believe the writers have made Solita pregnant. Good grief! At least her rich newly widowed mother is on her way. I'd like a bit more explanation myself on why a grown woman ditches her deaf child by the side of the road.
My favorite line...
"(insert dripping sarcasm here)".
Very funny, as was your Coat of Many Colors theme.
This telenovela becomes more and more puzzling. Octavio is so perplexing. The only thing attractive about him is his gorgeous hair. MC also has gorgeous hair, as does the charming little Lupita. I too was entranced by their interaction this time. The little gal is obviously feeling more comfortable around Ana Brenda now.
And strangely enough, the despicable Ofelia now seems to be the character with the most integrity (she is consistently loyal to and protective of Simona). She's not a nice gal but she is consistently loyal to her employer, I must say.

I had such high hopes for Nilda and Abelardo but they killed off my Abelardo. I thought that he was very entertaining. I hope that Nilda on her own brings some interest to the show. It'll be interesting to see how she gets on with Solita.
Speaking of whom, why would any of Maricruz's household be surprised that she is pregnant? I anticipated this in my recap of last Friday's episode. Perico seemed genuinely surprised, but then why should that surprise anyone? But then again, maybe we have another rape on our hands. José Antonio would be my guess if that is the case. Nothing would surprise me anymore with this show.
Loved that Simona's bringing the crazy, but she almost seems to be channeling Cynthia Klitbo's character in Velo de Novia. No matter... it's welcome here.
cathyx, I was also amazed to see that she could make the piano play without touching the keys.
gringo, I'm predicting that you liked this episode... lots of movement and pretty colors. Lupita was very awake and very animated. I loved when she used the little orange balls (mini pumpkins?) as props. She was cracking me up.
Carlos
So bizarre.
Thanks so much Cece! Great editorial comments in-line - I really enjoyed them.
Tav has my head spinning - he's going to institutionalize Simona, steal Lupita, and run off with the two kids never to be seen again? Right after he realized how MC must have suffered after he stole Lupita the 2nd time? Right after he swore to Mig that he was going to stay with Simona until the better end? JA sure knows how to push Tav's buttons! Tav is soooooo easy to manipulate. An easily led man does not a good galan make.
Carvivlie: LOL…the same thing ran through my mind but then I just let it go.
Carvivlie and ViVi: I am so mad at the Solita plot line. She is just filler it seems. Nothing that happens to her ever gets resolved. That rape thing should have been figured out a while ago. And what happened with her sign language?? Sigh
JudyB: Seriously! Who would have thought Ofelia would be the pillar of constistency and voice of reason on this show. I really liked how she told Octavio like it was. She did not back down
--------------------
Karen: Lol….I agree. Tablets are way smarter than this writers.
---------------
Carlos: I am sorry your favorite married couple in this show is no longer. That was one "interesting" relationship they had. Lupita and Juanita are the only good thing on this show right now. I liked how Juanita tried to reason with MC and her true feelings towards Octavio. That would have spared us 30ish painful episodes…..
----------------
"we only need to watch the last 10 minutes to see where things were left off for the next show, since they change by the minute"
Cathyx: Seriously…my backspace button was exhausted from overuse. Every darn second these characters kept flipping the switch!!
Maybe Perico included some intimate comforts along with feeding Solita during her recent illness. He was in the bedroom with her and there wasn't always a chaperon present.
I hope he tells everyone they just got married. He was doing the deer in the headlights thing while MC and Juanita were scolding him.
I loved Simona's crazy scene, especially the pillow throw at the imaginary demons.
Nilda could have been around 30 when Abelardo picked her up and married her. That would put her in her mid to late 40s. If she looks older, maybe it's due to leading such a difficult life.
Cathyx" ITA
-----------------------------------
I wonder why Perico kept their wedding a secret? It really makes no sense but I guess that is the norm here. MC was ultra upset about Solita's pregnancy. Another mouth to feed? No fear...Solita's mom and her husbands $$$ may bring them out of their misery....just do not put Miguel, Octavio or MC anywhere near that money
I don't think that Juanita has to clean or do laundry, doesn't Santa do that? But she does have to watch everyone all the time, so maybe when she was watching Lupita, Perito and Solita were having sex which apparently they didn't know they were having either.
MC said "yes" to Alvaro. But they cut this answer in episode. It wasn't important or what?
And I have a question. When you will start the Karmageddon countdown? I dont want you to think that it's a spoiler, but we all know, that in this show everything is possible.
I heard, that there will be 2-hours if CI after PEAM will end. Is it true?
Alegria
this guy was flying a plane not too long ago. Yes, we can laugh now but I still love our couple, I have faith.
Faith? Yes I'm trying to keep the faith concerning Rancho Abuelo. I really, really, really don't want Maricruz to loose it but things are starting to look grim. The mining company wants it like now. It will take a miracle for Mari to keep the beautiful rancho and I am not sure that it's going to happen.
The best novela moment ever for me was when wild country girl Maricruz in her pretty white lace
accented dress went galloping down the country rode on the horse
That was just fantastic, a Hall of Fame moment for sure---but another GREAT novela moment is shown in the novela opening, when Maricruz finally gains ownership of Rancho Narvaez after having been mistreated so terribly by Lucia/Lucifer and Miguel. As she is walking up the driveway, the look of satisfaction and accomplishment on her face is another novela Hall of Fame Moment
for me. So I say pleeeeease Mari don't loose the ranch. Fight for it as you once did.
I have been busy painting the dining room so I probably won't be back today or at least until late tonight, so I will try to put all of my thoughts down now.
Carlos---Yes, I did like this episode but, I like "ALL" of the episodes. You know that I love the show even with it's many faults.
Jarifa---Miguel needs to go. Well
yes, we all agree on that one but
I don't think that his anvil is ready yet. I am certain that he will do more damage before the anvil is ready to fall.
I have thought this many times---has anyone else thought why the padre has time to be with everyone, everywhere, but he never is seen or spends anytime in his own church?
Awful-felia---Always chooses the dark side, makes the wrong choices
from her rapist boyfriend to Lucia/Lucifer and now to $imona. Are these the only people that she could work for? She certainly is loyal to say the least. I just can't believe how loyal she is to the dark side. Does she really like these people? I wonder.
I don't buy the line that Solita was raped. You guys are grasping at straws. Perico didn't know???
He just didn't think that Solita would get pregnant. Often young people don't think of the consequences of their actions or they think that it won't happen to them. Whatever it is. It could be a number of things but in this case it's a pregnancy. Oh No! she's pregnant, I wasn't counting on that.
$imona---I must say that Elizabeth
Alvarez is doing a great job bringing on the crazy.
Can't wait for Monday night. I feel sorry for the many who are suffering---me, I can't wait for 11/11/13 7PM

Some of the most consistent and most entertaining moments this week were from Miguel in his unabashed greediness and eagerness to have Simona die. I hope his anvil is not lined up to drop too soon because he has provided some good fun recently.
Simona has also been great this week as BSC though I'll give credit to Tav as well for how well he plays aghast and stunned at Simona's behavior. He has played dumbfounded (that's DUMBfounded) well against Simona's loca.
As others have noted, glad to see Lupita a little more comfortable and energized this week.
Though all of the Solita storyline aggravates me, I experienced a fleeting moment of mourning at Abelardo's passing as well. His ill-tempered and cantankerous behavior could have added a little more spice to the reunion scenes which I now fear will just be lots of sappy tears.
Though Ofelia may be a mean-spirited snob at times, I'm about at the point of forgiving her after her pleading and arguing with Octavio over sending Simona away. And, talk about Juanita being busy, where is the help for Ofelia? There is certainly enough money to hire more help to watch over Simona (24 hour help please). After Solita's lack of care, this is my next biggest aggravation.
Maybe Natrasha will earn lots and lots of money for her painting and then give it to the Realengo people. It will be a milagro and will justify Natrasha's presence in this show.
Although Ester appears to stand up to JackAss, she lets herself be verbally and emotionally abused by him. I'm not really an Ester fan since she has never regretted her MC treatment, but I hope she is part of JA's anvil in the end.
Anyway, though I can't put myself in Gringo's league, I'm still looking forward to next week!
Barbara
I guess I understand why Juanita is doing all the work since MC no longer has no money.
But no excuse over at the Simona household....but Barbara your solution is way to sensible for the Narvaez brothers......
Miguel has at least been the most consistent character on this show. He wants Simona to die and to run the ranch. He hasn't wavered from that stance since he learned of Simona's impending death.
However, I think worry about whether she would hurt herself or others is valid. She doesn't recognize her own son and threatened to throw the baby out the window.
Barbara
And usually Urban Anthropologist starts the karmageddon countdown when the ultimas semanas start.
Maricruz may indeed look like a goddess, but she has had some odd priorities... the goddesses of Olympus were more attentive.
I do think that little Lupita is coming out of her shell and may provide us with some entertaining moments in the coming days. Just say no to drugs, Honey.
gringo, I know that you are genuinely enjoying this show and I think that is wonderful. You say that your understanding of Spanish is limited so do watch this with the English CCs, Spanish CCs, or no CCs? Are you not at times frustrated by the inconsistencies that we carp about? Does the apparent neglect of Solita not trouble you somewhat? I'm trying to understand why you defend this disappointing (for me at least) TN with such tenaciousness.
Carlos
Even though Miguel is making me seriously ill he is indeed the most consistent character wanting to take over the ranch, and wanting that Simona die or go to the manicomio. At first I disliked him because he was so weak, and now because he is so greedy...
I think that Perico told Solita that now that they are married, that he will come by to be with her in the afternoons. And maybe that look on his face is happy shock rather than stupid shock.
Someone said it earlier, something I've been worried about as well, that we'll have two hours of CI between the end of PEAM and December 2nd. (I think I can just make out the shouts of joy from el gringo.) I believe I saw Dec. 2nd as the date for the replacement for PEAM, that stars our beloved Cynthia Montero!! Talk about someone who does crazy well!
I would be happy to see Solita's needs be addressed. And Solita may be able to forgive her mother. But with what info we have about Nilda's situation, I cannot forgive.
I don't want to put words into Gringo's mouth (but he's busy painting his dining room!) but I know he has said that he dislikes the way the writers have treated Solita as well.
Barbara
Vivi, for a while I thought a new character was introduced right under my nose. Then I read your 2nd comment.Heehee!I love how our tablets and iphones think and decide ahead of us.
So Simona is still afraid of meeting "Joe Black".
Does the TN writers listen to our gripes as they write CI? I was wondering cuz, now we see Lupita having dialogues with her mommie dearest and Santita. How cute to hear her talk.
Maricruz should turn over the sign language manual to Perico. It's obvious she hasn't gotten past the first page.
tell me what Maricruz is calling Lupita when she calls her a "huerquilla grenuda"? I think grenuda means having tangled hair, but I can't find the meaning for the other word.
I figured when MC was superMari she was just psychic about Lupita's untamable hair.
Barbara
Seaking of soft, I think the word "hueco, or hueqilla" means soft and/or spongy. But there is no "r" in that word. I can't find a translation for "huerco/huerquilla" either. At first I though she was calling her her little "bones" but that would be "hueso"... this is one reason I watch TNs - to learn new spanish words.
@Carlos - loved the "just say no to the drugs, honey" line. Hilarious.
I must say it's odd that many complained about the lack of names for the babies. But no one has mentioned lately that a lot of babies appear to have simply vanished. No sign of Octavito and Miguelito in AGES, and Solita's no-name has been played by either a sack of potatoes or a baby-doll lately. He didn't even move when Solita took off with Perico to get married, and where was he when the doc was examining Solita? Well, to answer my own questions, I'm guessing they have then all running around outside (not being deprived of vitamin D like Lupita) so they can get as much Tamaulipas air as necessary for much-needed growth spurts.....and maybe some sun-bleached hair in the process.
Cece - enjoyed your recap as well as all the others this week.
decided if I didn't, it wouldn't match or look right, so I am on to that today. Even though I'm busy, I read every comment. As I have stated many times, I'm a BIG
CI fan.
Carlos---I hope that I can answer your question without writing a book. I know that I don't express
my thoughts as well as others do but I will try.---I have stopped
watching American TV one hour shows, you know like NYPD or Miami Vice. They can always catch
the bad guy [bank robber, jewelry
thief, arsonist, whatever] in an hour, no, actually less than that when you add in commercials. It's
ridiculous. The same goes for movies---ok, you get two hours with a movie but it's practically
the same. Yes there are some good movies that I would go to but they are getting expensive so novelas to the rescue. I have said this before but for now, one more time. I am not a world traveler and will probably never get to Mexico, the novelas are like a travel log for me. The locations are gorgeous, it's my way of being there. The acting is as good as from any country in the world. I have seen many Oscar
worthy scenes. I like the fact that I get to learn a little about the Latin culture. And---the opposite of the one hour American shows, I like novelas because they draw out the story line. They expand an idea. Often you get to see the characters grow up as their lives progress, that's pretty hard to do in a one or two hour movie. No, I don't have CC's and do not know Spanish.
The Caray recappers are a Godsend
to me. I love you guys, yes, even when you whine complain. OK--OK
inconsistencies. Yes Corazon Indomable has them and so does every novela out there. When you have an expanded story with several characters, it is, would be impossible to format/expand on every character involved, so you get some holes in the story. Carlos, we have imaginations, we can fill in the blanks. Rebelde was 440 episodes, would you want to recap 440 episodes? It was utterly ridiculous that Maricruz was called an "unfit mother" because the writers didn't give Lupita her "required" 15 minutes each night. Now lets see, 20 more episodes for that. Expand the Solita storyline. OK, add another 20 episodes. The same goes for the characters on Isla Dorada. Do you want to pay Televisa for all of the added episodes? Come on Carlos, we have minds, we can fill in the blanks with our imaginations. To answer your question---yes I get a little flustrated at times but I like the overall story so much that I don't let a little hole here or a hole there bother me. The main part of the story is still there, so I'm a very happy camper.
Barbara---Good point about Natrasha. She could sell her painting and use the money to help the people of realengo, but will she? Also, I think that the gun Natrasha carries will have a use in the future.
Yes, I'm a little flustered over the writing for Solita, but remember that Solita is a secondary character. I do think that things will get better for her though.
LoriLoo--- Shouts of joy from the gringo, you are so right. The recappers won't be happy though.
Cathyx---ITA The actors would have a hard time learning their lines and sign language too, so they just fake it.
Can't wait for 7PM.

"The Caray recappers are a Godsend
to me."
That really is such a nice thing for you to say and I think I speak for all of the recappers when I say that we are delighted that our efforts enhance your enjoyment of the TNs and this TN in particular.
You also said,
"Come on Carlos, we have minds, we can fill in the blanks with our imaginations."
Indeed we do, which brings me to one other thing you said,
"It was utterly ridiculous that Maricruz was called an "unfit mother" because the writers didn't give Lupita her "required" 15 minutes each night."
Perhaps, but it was just an effort to "...fill in the blanks with our imaginations."...and of course, an effort to entertain with some irreverent humor.
As for
"Rebelde was 440 episodes, would you want to recap 440 episodes?
Rebelde? 440 episodes? Just shoot me now.
Carlos
"Rebelde? 440 episodes? Just shoot me now." Haha...I dont think I can watch a high school/tween novela anymore...recap 440 episodes...that would be torture.
"Just say no to drugs...." LOL...seriously look at her parents.
I have enjoyed the comments too. You guys are the best. Even if some of you are not enjoying the madness of this novela. At least, it will end eventually. Unlike American soap operas that have yet to be canceled and have been on as long as (or longer than) I have been alive.
Anyway, I am sitting on the couch eagerly awaiting tonight's episode. :-D
