La Gata #112 2-5-15 Call CPS Quick, Fast, and in a Hurry!!!
Carlos and little Virginia are doing well. She is an absolute doll and yes, she is blind, and attends the institute. He adores her and is a loving and proud daddy but little Virginia isn't the only one blind, as we shall see later.
Next: Episode 113
Labels: gata
"It’s Ines with a sure sign of depravity: wavy hair." Hee, hee! Yes, she had Esme's original hair. Ines has screwed up her own life, seemingly for the sole purpose of being able to continue complaining about how everything is the fault of that maldita Gata!
"So he’s a psychotic psychiatrist who picks women off the street and then takes them back to his place to play house after they’re discharged from the psych hospital?" Awesome alliteration! I'm going to believe them when they mention "hospital" even though I had a strange suspicion that the original padded cell was just something Doc Evil had installed in his basement.
"Dumbass would never guess the child is hers cause she thinks she sold their son." I know! I didn't think she was so stupid! However, "Before she went to school she wanted to marry and have children." Sorry, Victor, but that's not how I remember her. She was smart, but she wanted to do things the easy way. Wasn't her girl gang back in the day talking about how/who to cheat off of for the next test? What happened to her 2 million pesos?
"She doesn’t want her children going to Dr. Suarez, HatBro no less, Gisela’s Doctor! [WHAT THE FREAK!]" Yes! I know! QTH! How did that even get started and why was it allowed to continue?!
"I’ll just summarize a couple of the scenes that really torqued me, how these shit for brains idiots, chief among them Pablo, Esme, Fernando, Blanca and their household and I’m sorry to say even Carlos allow these children to be treated like shit and outright emotionally abused by Lorenza." Sing it, sister! I am sick, sick, sick of all this "forgiveness" crap. Forgiveness does NOT mean allowing that horrid woman to be ALONE with those children. If they want the kids to have a relationship with their grandmother, on principle, then they need to supervise that time. They KNOW what Lorenza is doing to the two girls and they just sort of shrug it off. Irresponsible! I want to kick them all for their negligent parenting!
OK, do you think that perhaps the "pills" that Doc Evil has been prescribing for Pablito, that Esme doesn't want him taking and Lorenza insists on, are part of the reason that he is either (a) so malleable or (b) getting sick now? Is Lo slowly poisoning him? Or is he just taking after his dad, the original puppet?
Where is Mariano? I don't remember seeing him tonight.
Ay, Ms. 5 Ft, that was what I was whining about yesterday, all those forgiving!!! And the venganzas I want, they're coming from the wrong people i.e. Hatbro for Gisela. And Sil, and his team of expert being right on the money, why can't they do some actions right away based on the gravity of the past events about Gisela, LO, Tilico and now the new comer, HatBro. What are they waiting for? I guess El gran final. Yeah, can they please at least mention what happened to the 2 million pesos. Also, yesterday, what was the name of that degenerative disease? Haven't heard of it.Anne
That building project, so ugly. And where's all the garbage that those people make their living off?
I don't get the sudden appearance of HatBro and his conversion to a villain so late in the show. He appeared to be a loving supportive brother...and suddenly he goes to the dark side when he sees a psycho chick with a lighter?
I am still incredibly angry that the writers not only killed off Virginia, but the daughter she died giving birth to suffers from the same mystery disease. (The actress is a little cutie and I loved her Ugg boots!)
Agree that Esme has lost her maternal radar if she doesn't get how poisonous Lo is. And Pablo should know better too. He and Mariano once vowed to have no more to do with her! How on earth did Lo become such buddies with Doc HatBro? And has Gisela been in Psych Hosp for 8 years and just getting out now? How did Vicky/Damian never catch wind of this?
Too bad Mariano was a no show.
And Principe. Our feline hero has disappeared without a trace. So sad.
On the plus side, I enjoyed the positive updates: Garabato and the basurero gang (incl. HotBeard guy) are doing well. El Sil has glasses and I kept trying to verify if his ponytail was gone. Loved Jarocha's new look. At least that put a smile on my face.
J in Oregon
As they take their "romantic" stroll through what was once the beautiful basurero:
Pablo: Que bonito y que tranquilo es este lugar (Umm, Dude! Bonito? It looks like the L.A. County jail's big brother!)!
Esme: Todavia conserva su magia (I'm sorry, what? The damn garbage dump never had any "magic" to conserve! Have you forgotten the cold and hunger? The torn clothes and open-toed dirty shoes? The filth and sickness? The begging and selling chicles? Dirty faces? Lecherous vermin including the meatball? The real vermin and starving dogs? Are you insane? Magic?)!!
What is Damian doing with Sergio Goyri's mustache? They didn't feel the need to age anybody else (other than the kids, of course) - why him? And why like that?
Too Funny: When Rey came out of jail/prison and met Ines then he saw what had become of his "hood" and he joked, "Eww, let's get out of here, it gives me chills!" Ines, laughing, agrees with him, "Es que huele a limpio!" (That's because it smells clean) - I cracked up, but it sounded like an ad lib on the part of the actress.
How stupid is Esme to allow her son to call her monster-in-law "Mama Lorenza?" With the way the kid is being brainwashed about how his mother buys him ugly toys and cheap clothes and now being told his mother doesn't care for him, it should be obvious that SHE (Lorenza) wants to become his mother and raise him just like she raised his spineless daddy - only I'm sure this time she'll be keeping an eye out for any little gatas that might cross his path. In other words, she wants a Pablo do-over and the dummies all around are letting it happen!
Why is mid-thirties Monica dressing like a teeny bopper?
How unoriginal ... they renamed the "Ciudad Perdida" ... wait for it ... wait for it - Tadaa - the "Ciudad Encontrada!" Really, writers?
One cool thing - Carlos and Victor sharing an apartment.
But what is with the greasy side bangs on Victor and the other ex-dump dude? They looked better with their long dirty hair!
I totally believe Puppet Monica is pretending to be Esme's friend and taking her out and giving her bad advice on orders from Lorenza. That's how they are going to distance her from her son so Low can finish the brainwashing job.
Hey, nothing ever happened to Monica's mother? No anvil for her part in the Juan Garza baby daddy fiasco? Just saying.
Also, Carlos doesn't get a pass either. He's also a moron for allowing his blind daughter to be around a woman that he knows hates him and the child. This show is just P*****g me off to no end.
"Her dirty, unkempt locks hang around her butt, she’s ragged and still full of vinegar – and stupidity."
Cock a Toddle ain't even trying, the end in sight, moneys tight, fans leaving the arena and the roadies & die hard groupies take the stage.
So much nastiness abounds and it astounds me. We are seeing a small snapshot in time and boggles my mind this crap has been going on for 8 or 9 years and no one really at a breaking point. Oh, Esmeralda is a little put out but as long as Pablo throws a mi amor out she's good.
He's still living with mama and along with it she goes, allowing the dry hag to wet nurse their son.
Dammit Damien, shave that thing off and if being whipped by Vicky did this to you, stop it.
I seethed or laughed through most of last night but came off the couch when Lorenza shoved Virginia away, I want to strangle the bitch.
Okay, let's have adultry and fornication, lying, cheating, stealing, let's even have murder and protagonists who are as dumb as a bag of hammers, but child abuse? NOOOOOOO! That shit is NOT entertaining!! I actually could not slelep. Not to mention Fernando's new deep, gravely voice was disturbing more profoundly than I realized!
You are right. This is NOT forgiveness. What kind of whack out world does this production crew live in for cripe's sake! And yet another whip of the lash as in yesterday's ep Lo is all contrite and snotting all over the dying Virginia and now she's treating that innocent little girl like something she dug out of her crack?
And what the hell, Esme, LA GATA lets Lo keep her from going upstairs to see about her own sick son allowing Lo to spin it in to lies against her. What the flaming f*ck!?
Good call on the pills, Diva! Didn't think of that. I think you're right. Those useless idiots are probably allowing Doc Crazy to drug Pablito. Uuuuuf! I'm getting pissed all over again!
And no, now Mariano sighting. He's probably the only one left with brains and has moved far, far away.
Hey! What happened to Pablo and Mariano cutting their ties with mommy dearest?
More ranting later. Thank you, Diva!
Be cool if you or somebody reposted those dangling plot pieces at some point. Maybe after this turd has finally gone down the toilet.
Two lines that I enjoyed:
"Well, looks like Damian's been bitten by the dumbass bug!"
"Well call me a Hershey's and kiss my ass" (This one I particularly love and I will be stealing it...both here and in real life.)
I don't even know what to think about this same crap, but ten years later "plot" development.
gringo and tofie I hope you see this...was little Carlos Horacio one of the hats from PSMA?
Not only is it a mystery how Lo hoocked up with HatBro, it's just so stupid that she's still growling about la maldita gata after all these years. She'll probably survive the ending and give us a smirk right into the camera signaling a La Gata 2 where everybody, including Pablito, is seeking revenge on Leti.
Lila, so sorry you had to wade through this, but you did it with style and elan, pointing out all the terrible plot twists and inconsistencies.
We are not given a reason why HatBro went off the deep end and took up with Gisela. Why, after 8 or 9 years didn't his sister know anything about this, when they seemed so close before?
And Lorenza. Ugh. I hope there is some reveal about her past that could help explain how she could have become so twisted. And I am also confused how Pablo and Mariano could have seen Lo for what she is, and swore never to be around her again, then Pablo and Esme and the kids wind up living with her?
Lo barging in on a moment of tenderness between Pablo and Esme might explain why there are no younger children in their family.
I wonder if the suicide rate has gone up in the general population while this thing has been airing.
I am still here out of a morbid curiosity to see just how low this thing can go, and also to support you wonderful recappers who have never let us down.
Thanks again, Lila.
David
Pablo, Esme, this whole batch have brain damage from the toxic environment they grew up in and are unable to imagine and make real a better life for their children, even with big bucks at their disposal. They are molded like soft shit by Lo, Monica, hell, anybody. That's fine. Just hate to see the kids suffer!
tofie, this thing upset me so badly, even though I went to bed at 1:00 a.m. I could not sleep. The breath taking stupidity of this whole frickin' flock of fools and loathing for Lo are just not the right vibes to lay down on. Damn it all!
We're not done yet, tofie. I'm making my way down the comments hope you can crank a list out of this crap!
Shit. Let Lo and gang them wipe them all off the face of the earth! Let's just call CPS first and get the kids outta there!
David, I plan to be on the team for the next show. I hope watching something awful will help me as I do my first steady gig recapping a drama. That will be the saving grace!
At least Virginia and Leti get to play with each other, while the milk toast, bed ridden little P and CH may not know each other.
Pablo is not clueless to what's happening, he just thinks it normal, how Lo dotes on the boy, she did him and see how great he turned out.
Esmeralda's continued suffering is of her own making, in a effort to please that worthless excuse of a husband. No wonder she has no friends, they'd see it, counsel her to leave, get sick of the roundabout, and bail. You could tell, even Fernando & Blanca were just tired.
My apologies, that's what happens when I type to fast and don't proof-read. I even misspelled my own name..lol.
. . .what could it have been if it were good. Yeah. Right.
Bryan, hee hee! I thought Brhyn was a new commenter! No prob, hon!
But I degress ... Thanks again
Thank you, Sue. If you can, please stay with us until the end!
:D
Does Low live with PAblo and Miss Kitty and the kittens ? If so...why so ?
Who is writing this stuff? Do we have names so that we can avoid them in the future ?
BUT
When I think about them and how Virginia DIED it just really rankles me!! I am no TN pro, having only been watching since STuD, but Virginia's death seems so damn senseless to me.
I'm harping. Sorry.
;D
That's what I'm afraid of! That it's NOT the end and there will be a Gata 2! But why should I be afraid, I will not torture myself like this again!
******
Awwww, thanks emeralrose! That means a lot!
:D
No time to read people's comments today but just let me say I agree about the stupidity of allowing Lo anywhere near the children. I was angry as Centavito for brushing away VA's comments when she said Lo didn't like her. He knows the abuse she heaped on her mother. Red flags should have gone up all around.
Finally, can't stand Gi, hatbro, Lo, and now Monica. I guess she decided to go to the dark side. It's been like 9 years people, get over it!
This is shit. Why are you living with a woman who tried to kill your children?
Pablo and Gata deserve anything that they receive, but their poor children are another matter. At the beginning of this tn, Gata was smart, but the moment she had those kids she turned brainless. Pablo has been dumb as a box of rocks since the beginning and is the sorriest excuse of a galan that I have ever seen. The reason they don't have any more children is that he is not only spineless, but probably dickless. Has he ever done one damn thing for Esme? One? How can we possibly root for them?
And in another whip lashing inducing moment, Monica is bad again. WTF?
Damien's mustache is horrible.
Jarocha looks lovely, but she is too old to be having children...come on.
I am picturing the patio and it is no longer a sunny place with flowers and tables populated by smiling people, sipping adult beverages, laughing, chatting, and waving to one another. It is dark and there is a growing mob with torches and they are demanding venganza against the producer.
I say soon as Pablo sprung on her last minute, I'm headed to NY for "us", she agreed to marry him and consummate that sham, she was a gonner. Not because he knocked it out of the park but that she went along with that tripe.
First, agree with those that think Jarocha is way too old to be having a kid. Isn't she in her fifties? Why can't two people just be happy without them?
Saddened that Damien has been spending time with Vicky for 9 years and they are not married. Seemed like just friends from the dinner invite.
Where is Mariano? Surely he would see right through his mother.
First Rita doesn't get her anvil, just finds love and wins the lottery. Now Ines is going to be redeemed and live high on the hog with Victor's money? After all she has done?? Angers the hell out of me. Victor couldn't find a nice girl after all these years. Still pining for devil's child?
Hate, hate this show! Hate myself for not being able to look away either. Can't wait for the misery to end!!!
J, I'm afraid Principe must be long gone. For him to still be alive, he would have had to be a pampered housecat. Everybody else got to have kids...they couldn't have thrown in a Principe II? And, yes! The rat-tail is gone! So much better!
Anon at 5:02, Monica couldn't have been more transparent, but Esme just...refuses to see it. "Hey, let's go shopping and then go out clubbing later. That'll be just the thing to help your strained marriage." Really?
Steve, I dunno. I guess that's the plan, but Gisela seems a little blah. Maybe she'll perk up once HatBro gets things going again.
David, even without actually interrupting anything, I would think living with Lo would be a total libido killer.
Lila, "thinks she is a fiera" no joke! Girlfriend never whips those claws out when it really matters. What happened to not letting anybody mess with her kids? There's messing, Esme! Get to clawing!
Sara, I keep forgetting that Garabato did kill his old boss. It was an accident, and couldn't have happened to a nicer exploiter of children, but yep. Still a crime. Virginia dying is worse than Al dying on DQ, but at least Al got to stick around and ghost-mock.
lol, susanlynn, so true. It's not all right, so it's not the end, and yet it never will be right. Not for me, not since Virginia died.
Carvivlie, I see your "get over it" and raise you a "grow up already." They can't stand Esme because...people like her. What is this? Third grade? Ya basta!
LN, Augie took all the happy-inducing booze with him. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. (she says, as she sharpens the tines on her pitchfork....)
tofie, damnit, I'd forgotten about that stupid line of reasoning for why he "had" to go to NY. Oh, well, it's not like I'd suddenly started liking Pablo again. And Dan is starting to sink in my estimation as well. The furrowed brow with mouth half hanging open? Get another facial expression, STAT!
Eli, ok, ok, but only for, like 10 minutes, and then you have to come back. 1 more to go, amiga, 1 more to go.
Have I told my fellow recappers lately that I love y'all? Well, I love y'all, and I'm sorry I made this sound like a fun gig. And I swear, I will NEVER deal with a LaToodle production again. And I hope we have better luck with the next one!
I love you, too. Though I sort of feel like I dragged you down with me. Some may not believe this, but I was more enthusiastic about this than Diva was.
At least Al was murdered. That doesn't really take the sting out, does it? I'm trying to think of other times a character like that has died. Someone who was one of the bright spots in the show, who the audience really cared about, where it was really a shock and not something we saw coming from a mile away.
LN, you and I must have been on the patio the last few days. It is getting dark and scary.
The comments are long an critical
as they should be because nothing makes any sense at all.
There is nothing more that I can add other than to say that I think that Ms. Toodle-oo needs a shrink. She must because it's very
clear that she cannot think straight. Could it be that she herself is suffering from an unknown mental disorder of some kind?
Sara---I remember the hat children but not all that well, I
wouldn't be able to place them.
I do however remember Aranza's school in PSMA. It's the Institute in this one--recycled sets.
the gringo
I wonder that about some of the houses as well. Whether it's just someone's house who gets a kick out of loaning/renting it out or if it's basically an abandoned locale or if maybe the studio has just bought some places outright to reuse at will.
Why are you living with a woman who tried to kill your children? AMEN!
I feel your rage over this pitiful pair. Great love my unmentionables!
I am picturing the patio and it is no longer a sunny place with flowers and tables populated by smiling people, sipping adult beverages, laughing, chatting, and waving to one another. It is dark and there is a growing mob with torches and they are demanding venganza against the producer. YES! YES!!
Nuff said!
What's wrong with romance, soft porn love scenes, drama and intrigue, intelligent leads and supporting cast. Isn't there enough unexpected trials and tragedies in life to fuel a novela without resorting to this kind of annoying, frustrating swill that has us ready to form a lynch mob!?
It's almost over!
Lila, I love this statement so much! And I agree!
Here's me and y'all in a group hug:
((((((((Lila & LG PatioPeeps))))))))
A thousand times this:
Hate, hate this show! Hate myself for not being able to look away either. Can't wait for the misery to end!!!
hahahahahahah!!! But the sad thing it's true! All this abuse because everyone else likes her!
Or maybe they cut the scene that showed us the one horrible thing she did that screwed up all their lives and justified their anger. But I don't think so.
Hate that she's gone, but it's a good thing she's not suffering more due to her so-called mother's mistreatment of her beautiful little daughter.
I can't stand it when kids complain to adults of being mistreated and the damn adults respond with, "Oh, she doesn't mean anything by it," or "Oh, that's just how your grandma/sister/mother/whatever is," or "She's just 'special' you must be patient with her!" WHAT? No wonder a lot of children get frustrated and don't report child abuse. NO ONE LISTENS!
If you can stand it look at that last scene again. I think the "little Virginia" actress broke character and looked at "Lo". Whoa! It was brief but if looks could kill! That was one brief gratifying moment!
When the child abuse scenes come on, I switch to Wheel of Fortune.
My last lament is I won't be around, should the recaps and comments be sealed in a time capsule and left for an unsuspecting whatever in a 1000 years. Decipher this fool and you'll have the keys to the universe.
What?! The dump has been demolished and now a new apartment complex has been built. Ah yes the name "Ciudad Encontrada" is so unoriginal.
Didn't Garabato errr sorry Victor De La Fuente inherit millions from his parents? What is he doing working as a construction worker and living with Carlos and Virginia II?
Good quesiton - What did happen to the 2 million pesos? What did she spend it on?
I actually liked Damian's mustache. :)
What is up with Monica's skirt. It should be burned.
Why is HatBro still wearing the clothes he wore 8 or 9 years ago???
Continuing to harp: I'm going to be pissed if they get the anvils from the P. Luche set.
I love tofie because she called me a harpy (probably closer to the truth) and I love you 'cause you made me a harpist (Aren't you sweet! I've totally conned you!)
We've got all kinds here!
PS: I got the impression they were a little higher up than just construction workers. (But I didn't pay close attention.)
Garabato got his hands on his trust fund, but it was being managed by an unscrupulous administrator who pilfered some of it and lost quite a lot of it with some bad investments. What was left, he used to start the construction business and hire all his buds to help. The company is doing well, but of course, he's not pulling in nearly enough to be fabulously wealthy, just really, really comfortable. Carlos Horacio goes to private school, he's got his college fund all set, and daddy Victor just might have a modest fortune to hand over to him when he dies.
Tan, tan!
