Caray, Caray!

We will be waiting for yet another one of your stellar recaps, Jardinera654!

5Ft Diva, belated thank you for Thursday's installment. I am truly going to miss your wonderful titles. They have all been excellent! Glad that your candy making was successful. :))

I can't believe that I missed this, but I am just now noticing the nose piercing on Jackie/Jacqui! Can't say that the odd color of red hair does much for me, but if our former Padre Plaid likes it, who am I to complain. :))

What the hell did Fabi ever do to anyone? Hasn't she been through enough?

Looking forward to your brilliance, Jardinera.
 

I don't get the whole facial piercing thing myself. I have never understood actors or actresses who do this and/or get tattoos.
 

Me, too, J. I know that it will be worth waiting for.

I concur, Sara. With all of the craziness and shenanigans in this novela, Fabiola is the one paying the price????

I was happy to see Sebastian at the party and then reacting as he did to Fabiola's situation. I almost forgave Ricardo everything that I complain about (immature whining, blustering and occasional Ines-stalking!) when he hugged Sebastian so tenderly.
 

I'm no prude or stick in the mud, but what really does surprise me about the facial piercings is that some people in the service industry wear this "look" to work. While it does not repulse me, it still seems to shock me just a tad.

I agree. Fabiola has really taken one too many for this team. Are the writers driving this point home for a reason? I fully expect Raquel to get her anvil, but she's gotten away with a heck of a lot in this TN.

I should clarify: I do know that body piercings are in keeping with the norm in many cultures. I was not referring to that, but to those 20somethings who have tongue piercings and are working at my local coffee/tea haus. I find myself looking at the huge silver ball on the tip of the tongue instead of looking at their face as a whole!!

Life is cruel...Poor Fabi!
What will Karmageddon be of MariLoca now?

AlejoP.
 

Sheesh, it feels like I've been away for a long time, I've been so busy. Thanks 5ft Latina for yesterday's recap. I just watched this episode this morning and Fabiola gets dumped on again. And loses the baby too, so Marilooney will be charged with murder I think.

Another anvil is JL twice said that he's going to fight 'til death for Oriana, so he's going to be a goner too.

Jackie really bugs me personally. I don't like her hair or her voice. I'm glad I haven't had to watch her for very long. How can she possibly clean up Joaquin's mess by donating money to good causes? That doesn't bring anyone back from the dead or pay people he robbed back.

I'm not a big fan of body piercings either, but I'm also not a fan at all of tattoos of any kind, and everyone seems to have one or both of those things now. Actors should think twice about getting either of them since they can be difficult to cover up and it could limit their roles.
 

Poor Fabia indeed. But I'm guessing this will cause Matilda to change.
 

I feel like Fabi is similar to poor Solita in CI. The writers just have all types of terrible things happen to her. Thanks Sara for capturing my outrage with your comment.

ITA Niecie, that this could hopefully be Maddie's wake up call.
 

Wow! All these comments about Fabi. Now I have to watch the episode to see what happened.
 

When I watched this episode on TV, they went to a commercial when Marilooney shot the gun, then when we came back, they didn't show Fabiola getting shot, she was already laying down and being taken to the hospital. So I had to guess that Fabiola had been shot until they finally said she was.
 

I hates that it was fabiola got shot and lost the baby on top of everything. After all she went through with the baby and finding out it was healthy they kill it.

There are other characters that could've received a bullet and without such tragedy. That was just too much.

For a second there I thought paloma would end up shot though. All and all a very exciting episode all around.
 

Cathyx, that's true. It was a camera trick because it caught a close up of Fidelia at that precise moment so I personally thought it was her, but if you look closely when Mariloca aims the gun at Oriana, Fabi has left her seat and is standing next to her. Although I don't remember if Fabi and Ori were sitting next to each other or who and how many were sitting between them.

Very sad that she lost the baby even though that means she is no longer tied to Seba.

Well, AlejoP as Ric said it might not be so easy helping Mariloca even if they get her a lawyer. Too many witnesses and since technically its not just murder (of Fabi's baby) but also attempted murder of Oriana.
 

That really upset me when I found out that Fabi got shot. Matilde sensed something had happened. I'm also hoping that that will be a turning point in her life. On the other hand, if she adds insult to injury with her usual verbal abuse it'll make me wonder what point the writers are trying to prove.

Even though Jackie's piercing is tiny, I noticed it when she first came on the scene. Piercing is a trend that I don't like or understand. It's common where I live to see anything from brows, to belly buttons to holes as large as dimes in the ears. Google "youtube nipple piercing" if you really want a treat.

I'm not a fan of tattoos, but I could understand people liking them if they kept their rich color. Instead they all age to one dull color blue.

Did Ricky actually say or indicate he would get a lawyer for Maricoo coo? I hope not!
 

Foxy, I don't think he said that HE would do it, but somehow she will probably get one. Court ordered one maybe. We will have to wait and see.
 

Do they have court-appointed legal aid in Mexico? Based on how many people spend years in prison on charges rather than convictions it doesn't sound like it.
 

If anyone had a problem getting to the Fri Reina, like I did, here is the link

Now THAT! is a good TN!
 

All I can think of with tongue piercings is spinach or lettuce getting stuck in there.
And imagine those tattoos in the wrinkles when you get old.
 

All I can think of with tongue piercings is spinach or lettuce getting stuck in there.
And imagine those tattoos in the wrinkles when you get old.

Everybody brings that one up but nobody seems to ask the other question of What happens if you get tired of them? A certain friend of mine (who doesn't have any tattoos) doesn't seem to think that anyone regrets this decision, but I know some people do long before they get old.
 

There are tattoo removal clinics and devices so there must be plenty of people who do regret getting one.
 

It's up amig@s. Thanks for waiting so patiently. Back atchya soon.
 

UA, you're probably right. Although despite Mariloca's actions it does seem like Fidelia and maybe even Piero are willing to help her get a lawyer. Too bad Piero couldnt get her out of the house when he tried. However, if she's informed that Fabi's baby died, I don't think a defense of "I really intended to kill my husband's lover" will help her in any way if she tries to use it. Like I said above, she could be also charged with the attempted murder of Ori.
 

Okay, what happens now..... Fabrick "of your life" survives and marry Leonardo "Devinci"?

Does Rick "Romney" now get his divorce uncontested, since MaryLulu is up the river, without a paddle?

Does Joe Louis "Falcon" move to
Arizona, and says "To Hell" with Orines, but leaves support money for Little Lina? (BTW, if Rick Romney adopts LL, Joe Louis is off the hook for child support).

With so few epis left, what will become of the remaining folks of Hermosillo.... Granny Poloma, Homer Run, The many Body Gaurds, and the recently introduced family of Joaqin " De Que Color".

A lot of action to come.....
I am about ready to rap this puppy up (Tito too). It's getting to be March Madness time, and most of the good NCAA BBall games come on at 7 pm.....Time to get hooked up with all my "Big Dance" partners on Caray Caray;JudyB., Guera, I think are commenting on Robo.

Meanwhile we have many plots to get straight here on MpV, I am ready to see what the end will be.
 

Fabi was bleeding in the stomach area when it came back from commercial break.

Ric said Malibooboo would get a lawyer but it really didn't matter cuz if Fabi or her baby dies, Malibooboo is going to jail.

I really don't think Mad Hilda can change, she will say she's glad Fabi's baby died, that Fabi's baby dying is a punishment etc. She hasn't been shown to change like Sebastian has.

Jackie's nose ring & clown hair don't bother me. She better not tell her mom what happened during Paloma's party, or Momma will have her back in Arizona or the Dominican Republic lickety split.

I think JL's destiny is to sit in a jail cell looking at pictures of Oriana and Alina for the rest of his life. That would be fitting. Maybe we'll learn his real name.

Raquel needs to be hit by the anvil truck but she'll probably get married to Mike or something.






 

Another outstanding performance by Tito Bambino. His steely glare at big, bad JL. His happy trot and gallant tail flicks as he exited stage left with Princess Alina. That little guy has star power on a level one rarely sees.

Except for her hair, I like naive, altruistic Jackie, and she seems perfect for Mariano. IRL, no one would be wearing spike heels again and walking sightseeing so soon after a bad ankle sprain, but, hey. Anything is possible in Novelaland.

It does seem like the writers are piling on poor Fabi, but, OTOH, I wasn't happy with the idea of her being tied down with a kid resulting from a rape while still a kid herself. If she lives, which I think she will, she'll be free to pursue her education, career, travel and enjoy some child-free time with Leo before taking on kids if they decide to adopt later. I believe in family planning and I don't believe that any baby that comes your way is always a blessing. Fabi is obviously greatly traumatized at the moment, but it may work out for her long term.

Thanks, Jardinera, for another wonderful recap. Always worth the wait.
 

Jackie's piercing doesn't bother me at all. It seems like an authentic touch for a young woman in a creative profession like her.

As for actors having piercings, yes, that seems short-sighted to me, but a little nose stud like she has may not even be real. It could just be an unusual outbreak of realism from the wardrobe department.
 

Unlike tattoos, piercings are easily removed. I saw a documentary about a reformed gang banger that was trying to get his life together. He was covered with tattoos, even on his face. It was extremely painful to remove the tattoos, not to mention expensive. People were helping him, so the tattoo removal was donated.
 

Thank you Jardinera! Great recap. This episode actually moved along quite swiftly.

The writers made an interesting choice in having Fabi shot, as it really opens up so many different possibilities for her. Had anyone else been shot, other than them dying, it really wouldn't have made a huge difference in any plot points. Fabi losing the baby, however, changes quite a few things for her, and could also change her relationship with her mother. If Mati is tuned in enough to know when there has been a disturbance in the Force with her daughter, then there just might be hope for her yet.

At least now Rick can finally divorce Marilu. Maybe Ori will finally tell him she's expecting his kid.

Loved Lina following Tito's cues and the two of them flouncing out on JL. I love that this little dog is so integral to the plot, and such a huge pain in the butt for JL. Big man vs little dog. :)
 

Jardinera, thanks for the recap. You had a doosy of a party.

Carolina and Vivi thanks for giving thoughtful analyses of the possibilities for Fabi. I'm just still bummed she keeps getting dumped on plotwise.

While Maricoocoo is going to jail, does that mean Ricky can get a divorce? I don't see that crazy woman letting him go just b/c of the murder of a child which she blames him for any way.



 

Great recap, Thanks Jardinera.
Oriana/Inés has come quite good at lying, er .. covering up the truth. She wasn't truthful with Rick about the pregnancy, nor with Paloma about Fabi. I can rationalize her not telling Paloma about Fabi, but hope the pregnancy denial isn't going to turn into a mini series.
 

Foxy- I think the whole group decided not to tell Paloma about Fabi being shot, not just Ori. They likely want to wait to bring the cardiologist, or at least her nurse, as usual when they break bad news to her. Now, as soon as she sees the doc, she knows something is up. :)
 

Karen- From the other tns they've shown, like Por Siempre (Andy and Feo), once someone is a convicted criminal, their spouse can get a divorce, regardless of whether they object. So I think Rick can finally be free of Mariloca, whether she wants a divorce or not.
 

Jardinera - Great recap.

My favorite scene was dog vs man. Strange that later Alina wanted to see JL, after she had walked away from him without a word. Bad editing?

I'm going to bet that Matilda comes through for Fabi. I hope so cause I would like to see how the actress can make an about-face seem authentic.

 

Vivi, thanks for the follow-up. I missed that it was a group decision.
 

Dear Jardinera,

I am late to the game, but want to thank you for the wonderful recap with just the right witty touches.
Ten more episodes.

Vivi - great point that Marilu's shooting of Fabiola and the loss of the baby does open up more dramatic possibilities for her than some other scenarios. It certainly does make us all root for her even more, as she is a very sympathetic character who has suffered quite a bit.
 

Comparing the long suffering Fabiola to the long suffering Solita in Corazon Indomable, I am much more accepting of the Fabiola storyline because I feel like the writers, and other characters, are treating her like a human being with feelings and emotions. While Solita was treated worse than a pet. In fact, Tito is getting much more care and consideration for his suffering than Solita ever did from any of the other characters in CI. Bad things happened to her, and we saw NO resolution, NO growth, NADA. However, we have seen Fabiola blossom into a strong young woman, who becomes more sure of herself each day.
 

Hi there ladies and gents. Fabi's entire story is a sad one but harder is the Leo storyline. Sucks. Seb and she should have ended up together in this once his rehabilitation/salvation is at hand. Leo doesn't seem convincing as a love interest in this thing at all--no more than Piero who are about the same age it seems--both were cradle robbing dopes IMNSO.

ITA that Alina's rejection of her daddy in this episodio was bad editing/story-writing, but I believe the writers gave up at this point in the story, anyway.
 

Jardinera- I don't think Leo is as old as Piero. He's supposed to be in his early 20s, while Piero is in his late 30s.
 

Vivi: You're right, but it's hard for me to make these distinctions any more, je-je.

He's still a fool IMNSHO. Oh well, just film fantasia.
 

Thank you so much Jardinera654 for another wonderful weekend recap! It is always worth the wait. :))

Some odds 'n ends thoughts:

--Tito My Bambino is such a scene stealer! I love that little doggie. The look he gave JL was priceless! I hope we see him in more TN

--Could Oriana's red dress have gotten any shorter?! She could hardly walk in it. I thought it was going to hike over her fanny any moment. She sure has the bod to wear the stuff, but holy cow, what a short dress!!

--I thought Diego Olivera (sp?) acted his scene with the multiple SAME pictures of his family on the wall very well. He is a jerk, a liar, and a murderer, but in that one moment, he looked like a normal every day kind of guy who is sad at losing his family. I think it is these types of moments that have made Oriana feel so conflicted. What a handsome and manly man he is!

--I like Sebastian's new hair cut. He looks believably reformed. I agree with all who have mentioned the wonderful moment that Ric hugged him.

--I think we could just toss a coin in terms of what Matilde's reaction to Fabiola's shooting will be. Maybe it will take this to see just how controlling she has been as I don't think Matilde sees that part of herself at all.

--Homero and Paloma make a very cute couple. I think Paloma, the actress, is a very, very attractive woman with an incredibly beautiful smile. My mother always used to say that the best make up a woman could wear is a smile, so I find myself enjoying people who have beautiful smiles (like "my" Juan Soler!).

--I agree with Jardinera654 that Leo, as cute as he is, just doesn't seem convincing as a love interest. I would not be believing his words

--I wonder what will happen to Piero. Will he end up alone and unmatched at the end?

--Lastly, I DO love David Zepeda and would much rather see him as a galan versus the villain. I will take him ANY day and wish I could live in a TN world where I could wear my short dresses with my fab tacones ALL day long and NOT have to work. That plus someone calling me "mi amor" every five minutes would be fun. :))

Yes, this TN derailed, but I love the characters and the actors and I am going to miss them and all of the beautiful shots of Hermosillo and vicinity.

The TN can get wacky sometimes, but I have to say that I look forward to a break from the day to day reality.

Thank you again, Jardinera654

Mrs Mejia just began filming a novela, La gata with Daniel Arenas y Maite Perroni. I wonder if there be any caray watchers afer la basura CI

http://www.peopleenespanol.com/gallery/inician-las-grabaciones-de-la-gata-con-maite-perroni-y-daniel-arenas-fotos?xid=pespdaily02172014
 

There will be a new telenovela that will replace Mentir Para Vivir after it ends. I saw the ad for it on Univision during commercial break and it'll be called "De que Te quiero, Te Quiero" amid believe it will star Livia Brito and Juan Diego Covarrubias as the protagonists.

Will anyone recap that novela?
 

A very VERY belated thank you to all the recappers!
I've been away all last week - I'm changing work and I'm still trying to get used to the new situation.

I agree with all of you that Fabiola has really gotten ALL the bad karma. Pregnant at 18, HIV positive, SHOOT in the belly!!! She's the perfect victim, it appears.

 

Thanks for another most excellent recap, Jardinera. As always, it's a real treat.

Yikes, poor Fabiola. I was so hoping for her to forgive Sebastian and for the three of them to live happily ever after.

Vivi, you are so right about the differences in the treatment here of Fabiola and the way that Solita was treated in CI. Of all my problems with CI, the thing that troubled me the most was the way her character was treated by those who supposedly loved her.

Once again Friday, I couldn't help but notice how poorly trained Nerón is. Leo drug him away by his collar and I thought someone had pointed out earlier that He is Leo's dog in real life.
