Lo Imperdonable #78 (Tel #79) Thu 9/3/15 The big reveal in 3...2...1.... but why does it all have to be so random?
A little bit of what happened yesterday
Jorge is dividing his fortune, giving Emi the
biggest portion, because he will be in charge of the company, too. Veronica
refuses to take any money, but Jorge won’t hear of it. After the men leave,
Virginia attacks Veronica, accusing her of being after the money – why else
would she accept, if she already has a gold mine? Vero gives back as good as she receives,
but poor Virginia doesn’t have a rich husband, so she’s only looking after
herself. Salma defends Virginia, obviously, and Vero warns her that she will one
day be sorry to have protected this alacran (scorpion).
They continue to exchange insults until Jorge
comes back to invite everyone (and Martin) to lunch. Vero has to pass, though,
she and hubby are leaving for Cancun, for their belated honeymoon.
At the hospital Pablo and his mom talk about
his therapy. She wants to know as much as possible about the treatments, so she can help. Pablo is still holding onto AP’s ring, he misses her
every day and dreams about her every night. And no, he can’t resign himself – that
would be worse than death. Mom thinks that AP’s family will never forgive him,
and neither will AP, because he lied to her and who can blame AP under the circumstances?
Eleazar the Great has found the perfect
apartment for Crescencio and all his family to live in while in Mexico. Even
Julio is present and there is talk about a garden and a balcony with a street
view.
Random scenes showing passage of days
Eleazar brings AP flowers.
Virginia won’t show Mariana her wedding dress (she want it to be a surprise for everyone),
but she does give her an invitation to the wedding. Mariana is mourning her own
failed nuptials.
Botel shows Magda her divorce settlement – she is
finally free of Aaron. Magda shows Botel the DNA results – Veronica truly is
her daughter. Now, if she could only call her “mom”…
Claudia is learning about how the hotel
business works from Pierre
Mariana is helping Virginia with the huge stack
of wedding presents. She is still upset because of the presents she will never get.
Crescencio is putting Manuel in charge of all
his affairs, by signing a power of attorney. He is also re-adding Manuel to
his will. Manuel’s greedy eyes are unbearable to watch, but Abuelo is too
stupid to notice. He does want to leave some money to AP’s future husband (not to AP, mind you!!), to
make sure that his grand-daughter is protected, no matter what. Manuel
doesn’t agree, but Crescencio trusts his compadre and Eleazar. He asks the
lawyer to make the necessary changes to his will.
Matilde tries to talk to Emi about something,
but Salma intervenes, chasing her away.
Eleazar, AP and Blaquita visit the city.
AP and Pablo run into one another at the
hospital and exchange lingering looks – but before Pablo can approach to talk to
her, AP gets called by Crescencio.
In Cancun, Veronica and Martin finally enjoy
their honey-moon. They kiss, play in the water, make out in the sand on a
secluded beach (looks romantic, but all that sand…ouch). All in all, they have
the perfect time and enjoy what can only be the calm before the storm.
They also get news from Magda and Botel – they want
to get married and would love for V&M to be the padrinos.
The wedding day has arrived. Virginia is very
nervous during breakfast. After she and Salma go upstairs to get ready, Jorge
congratulates Emi. Poor Emi doesn’t look all that happy.
Martin and Veronica (wearing her V-shaped
necklace) are back home, too. He invites her to breakfast, they smooch. She is
rather sad, today is the wedding day. Martin wants to know if she’d like to
attend. Well, she’s not invited, so she can’t.
AP and Blanquita stop by and alone with Martin,
Blanquita gives him the necklace from Nancy – To protect him from the torment
that is approaching and also, she has a message:
“Mujer blanca no es mujer mala!” (The white woman is not a bad woman!)
Martin looks a little impactado, but I’m not impressed.Is this it?
After the girls leave Martin kisses Vero passionately,
saying:
“Te amo, mi buena mujer!” (I love you, my good woman)
So now he’s sure it
wasn’t her?
AP, Blanquita and Julio are back at the
hospital for some bill that Crescencio left behind. Left alone, AP runs into
Pablo, who came for his therapy. His hand might have a chance to get better,
but his heart is forever damaged. Hers is, too, she will never forget him, but
their relationship was a mistake. She is set on moving on with her life and she
will marry Eleazar.
Pablo begs her to reconsider, swears that he
never played with her, all he did was out of love. AP rejects him over and over
again, even when Pablo tells her that Mariana is out of his life and he hates her. He also begs
her to run away with him, but AP refuses – he’s lied too much. Just then Julio
shows up and he and Pablo get into a fist fight that only the hospital security
guards can stop.
Back at home, Pablo is moping, holding onto AP’s
ring for dear life.
At the same time AP is crying a river, too, while
Blanquita tries to comfort her. She will never see Pablo again and she has to
marry Eleazar.
Just then the future fiancé arrives and sees that AP has
been crying. She decides to be honest with him – she’s not in love. With Manuel
listening on the whole conversation and Blanquita sitting next to them, looking
very unhappy, Eleazar tells AP that he doesn’t mind that she’s not in love. From
the moment he saw her he felt something special, he knows that she will be a
good wife (he never mentions love). He is sure that Crescencio won’t
allow them to back down and he’s fine with it. He’s gentle about the whole
thing, but his logic makes no sense.
Martin is home, in the lobby, looking at his
V-shaped necklace. Just then Veronica comes and sees him – is this how the big
revelation starts? He is just randomly looking at the necklace in the middle of the house, with Veronica
just steps away?
She asks where he got it from, Martin explains
that Dim had it from the woman that made him take his own life. Veronica
concludes that Virginia must have given it to him and she remembers a fight
that she once witnessed between the two. So Virginia was Dim’s lover!
Once again she wants to know how the necklace
ended up in Martin's hands and he explains that Nancy gave it to him after finding it through Demetrio's things. And he did see her take a necklace from
Virginia – yes, but that was her own necklace, that Virginia had stolen. Martin
looks rather unsure and it finally dawns on Veronica that he thought that she
was Dim’s lover all this time because of the necklace.
Not only that, Martin says, Virginia also told
everyone that you were involved with a lot of guys, my brother included.
Now Veronica is really upset – how could he
believe Virginia over her? He thought that Virginia wasn’t capable of all that
lying, but she was?? So he chose to blindly accuse and torture her without ever
asking her what the deal was?
Martin wants to talk about it, but Veronica is
done talking with him. She wants to go and confront Virginia. He can go do the
same if he wants, but not with her, she doesn’t want to see him right now.
Virginia is getting ready for the wedding. Her
hair is all made up and she is so nervous for the day that is about to begin.
Salma is overjoyed, everything will be perfect today, especially since Veronica
won’t be there. And blah blah blah… love and happiness, as soon as Salma leaves
the room Virginia bursts that she can’t wait to get rid of her beloved aunt.
Alone in the house, Veronica is staring at both
necklaces. She’s about to leave when Magda comes to show her the DNA test. Veronica
doesn’t look at the papers because she’s already sure that Magda is her mother.
She can’t yet call her “mom”, she needs time, especially now, with so many
things happening around her. Magda is hurt because she can’t hug Veronica like
a mom would hug her daughter, but she is willing to listen to her problems.
Veronica is upset because of Martin’s deception
and lies.
Right before her wedding, Virginia decides she
needs to get rid of every tie that she ever had with Demetrio. So she goes for
her letter box and opens it. While doing so, a picture of her and Dim falls to
the ground, but she doesn’t see it.
Just then Matilde walks in without knocking to
let her know that Mariana has arrived. Virginia manages to cover the letter box
and barks some orders at Mati, before storming out and leaving the box in plain
sight, covered just by a sheet!!! Random, so random!!
Mati immediately sees the photo on the floor
and then opens the box and manages to read a couple of letters, before Virginia
is back with Mariana. She hides the photo under her clothes, puts the box back
where Virginia had left it and starts to tidy the room.
Seeing that the help isn’t finished with what she had asked, Virginia asks her
to get out – she will take care of everything.
Leaving the room, Mati decides that she needs
to talk to Veronica ASAP.
In his room, Emi is preparing his funeral
wedding clothes. Nicolas can see that he’s miserable, though. If Vero
were the bride, things would be so different for Emi… Especially after he found out
about Virginia and Daniel, he started having doubts again. Not because he is
against her having other men in her past, but because it reminded him of the
old Virginia, the one who used to lie and manipulate. This morning he woke up
unhappy, but he can’t back down because Virginia lost their baby and he gave
his word that he will marry her.
Veronica explains to Magda that Martin always
thought that she had been Dim’s lover, he was never honest with her and that is
something that she can’t forgive. Mati calls to tell her that they need to talk
urgently: she found some letters from Demetrio to Virginia – in one he was
telling her that he was going to Mina Escondida to obtain the money that she
asked for in order to get married and in another one
Dim was begging her not to leave him for another man because that would be kill him.
This is the final proof that Veronica needed
against Virginia – now everyone will know that she is truly marrying Emi for
his money and that she was Dim’s lover. Maldita Virginia!
Preview:
Bride Virginia and Jorge arrive at church
Vero and Magda are in a cab, rushing to stop
the wedding
AP is not feeling well, she faints! Can Abuelo spare some money for a crib?
Just when the priest asks if anyone is opposed to
the wedding, Veronica storms in and asks Emi not to get married – she has proof
that Virginia was Demetrio Silveira’s lover! Ay, Caray!

Comments:
NovelaMaven, my prose is silky smooth? Now that is a metaphor I could never come up with. Thank you, you're very kind.
I think Virginia us so wrapped up in her big day, she forgot to take necessary precaution when it came to Mati. Yes, she does underestimate the nana! Hopefully she'll be sorry by the end of the day.
Carlos, I don't know if you were serious with the whole "how dare Matilde invade Virginia's privacy' but you cracked me up. Admittedly, that's one way to look at things.
Interesting debate about Eleazar. I don't see anything malicious in him, but that's maybe just because I never pay too much attention to Pablo, AP or her adoringly suffocating family.
About Claudia looking like Miss Universe... You guys know that Alicia Machado, the actress, WAS Miss Universe in 1996, right?
I'll be back later with more comments, gotta run fix dinner.
Keep the comments coming, guys, they're great!

Thank you so much, Adriana! This is another gem! As usual, your prose is so silky smooth that I find it hard to believe you are writing in your, what, third language about a show in your fourth? I'd like to borrow your brain sometime, if you're not using it. :) You are amazing!
In an earlier episode, smooth Eleazar complimented Ana Perla for "ese lunar tan bonita que tienes junto a la boca." The reference went right over my head at the time, but last night I heard it in the lyrics of Eleazar's serenade: Ese lunar que tienes cielito lindo junto a la boca (That beauty mark you have next to your mouth, darling...)
I didn't much like Eleazar's explanation for his passive acceptance of the arranged marriage. I don't trust him. However, given the way Manny the Maniac is eying him up, I suspect we won't have Eleazar to kick around much longer.
So no monkeying with the DNA results. Good.
I think more than random, Virginia just underestimates Matilde and overestimates her own power over her. I have no idea if the wedding will be aborted – I hope so – but it seems that at least one scene like this is obligatory in every telenovela. I don't mind. I think they're kind of fun.
What is going to be really interesting is how the new info about Virginia plays out for Marty and Verónica.
Thanks again!

"Mariana is helping Virginia with the huge stack of wedding presents. She is still upset because of the presents she will never get."
Even I felt bad for Mariana, and I don't even like her. Virginia really is "Miss Sensitivity," isn't she?

Adriana, great work on the recap. Your title said it all "The big reveal in 3...2...1.... but why does it all have to be so random?" Random indeed! It didn't even seem like the over the top reveal I had imagined but then if Marty had not had the message from Nancy, who knows if he would have continued to doubt Vero. I think the key words that Nancy used was that Vero was not "la mala mujer" and Marty was able to listen to Vero without his anger and jealousy getting in the way. NovelaMaven, I guess it will be more fun to watch it all explode at the wedding!
In regards to Eleazar, according to Grumpy Gramps, he is supposed to be perfect husband material, but I agree with you Novela, something in the way he spoke to Ana Perla last night, has made me question his integrity. I don't understand how someone who is a college student in the big city will accept a pre-arranged marriage, nor has he mentioned he's fallen in love with her. Something is definitly up here!
Can't wait for the wedding tonight and see how it all goes down.

Thanks so much Adriana Noel for this detailed recap.
I was really disappointed with the Cancun bit. It lasted only about 5 mins!!! Emi, Virginia, Claudia and Pierre had more time in Cancun than Vero and Martin. I think the producers rushed it. Before they aired it, I watched the interview with Ana Brenda and Ivan in the beach. I was expecting it to me at least two episodes in Cancun. I am sooo disappointed that it was so short. I had so much expectations for Martin and Vero honeymoon at Cancun. It was really rushed!
I also agree that the reveal was random and strange Martin was staying in the living room looking at the necklace. I wish Vero slapped Martin when he told her to stop lying. Whaat?!!! He might as well have married Virginia since he trusts her more than Vero. Martin is so annoying with not believing Vero!! I hope she gives him a really hard time!!!!

Thank you Adriana for the wonderful recap, and thanks to Aunty Ann for yesterdays recap!
The pacing was off, what should have been a big reveal was just kinda "blah", especially when you compare it to the truth coming out in La Mentira!

Thank you Adriana---I simply loved this excellent recap.
One thing that you wrote really jumped out at me---Manuel's greedy eyes are unbearable to watch. Yes--so true. I felt exactly the same way. Even though that I don't understand Spanish, it wasn't hard to figure out what was going on. Manuel was practically licking his chops like a hungry dog over his inheritance. Hungry, greedy eyes---too bad that he won't get a chance to enjoy it if the opening intro is correct.
Ana Perla's new chosen one--chosen for her that is, seems to be a nice guy but I've got to go with Pablo. Pablo and Ana Perla were just plain meant to be. I don't know how it will happen but for sure, I'm staying tuned. Pablo will have to really fight for Ana Perla and Ana Perla might have to do a little defying herself but they are going to be one happy couple silhouetted in the sunset when this novela ends.
How will Martin ever get Veronica to trust him? Will Martin be on his knees begging for (just one more chance?) Will Vero make him grovel in the dirt for awhile? This
is getting interesting.
A lot of talk about Nanciyaga's omission or commission yesterday. I was mentioned that Nanci saw V-snake at Dimi's grave. Yes true but I don't think that she was close enough to hear what V-snake was saying.
And double interesting will be the boda interupcion tonight. Ten looong hours to wait. I'm starting the count now because this is ---MUST SEE TV.

I miss Tofie's sharp, stinging comments. Does anyone know when she will be back on the La Imperdonable team? Not often in agreement but always looked forward to read what she had to say. I've really been missing Tofie on the blog.
Carlos---How will the viper get out of this one tonight? The cleaver fast thinking usually overcomes and slithers away each and every time but tonight??? Any thoughts?

Thanks Adriana. This recap is so well done and very amusing,
"...make out in the sand on a secluded beach (looks romantic, but all that sand…ouch)."
My thought exactly.
Ever the jerk, Martín wasn't even nimble enough to minimize the damage done by Verónica's discovery of the depth of his anger and deceit. I don't see how he can ever satisfactorily justify marrying her seeking vengeance. Although I think we can all see why he might believe Virginia instead of Verónica.
I'm disgusted with Matilde. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for reading Dimitrio's private letters to Virginia. what an unforgivable invasion of privacy. She should never have even opened the box. Virginia may be no saint but she did not deserve that.
I'm also disappointed with Pablo's lack of gallantry by saying such unkind things about Mariana. Her intentions may have been selfish and misguided but they were never evil.
And would it hurt Verónica to be a little more accepting of her mom?

gringo,
"How will the viper get out of this one tonight?"
As much as it pains me to admit it, I'm afraid that at least some of Virginia's chickens may be coming home to roost (or perhaps roast?).

Thank you Adriana for the recap
Looks like Virginia is getting screwed over in the next episode i wonder if she can survive this.
Well Martin got what he bargained for lying for so long, Nanci did not help matters to be honest, grovelling will probably not be the only thing he could do to get Vero to forgive him.
Abuelo is so unperceptive how could not see Manuel's greed and how he could even trust him with that much money is beyond belief.

I felt bad for Mariana but not really. She's the one who tried to rush Pablo into a marriage. If a man's not rushing to be with you, leave him alone. That goes for Nanciyaga.
Mariana's a pretty girl with a slamming body. She's not evil, so she should not have a problem finding somebody else.
I don't have a problem with Matilde or anyone else invading Virginia's privacy. Virginia has invaded Veronica's privacy by intercepting her faxes to Jorge and spreading sexual lies about her to everyone.
I don't think anything's off with Eleazar; I think he's end game for Blanquita. He's been in the city; she wants to go to the city and study. I think he figures hey if he's got to marry, at least she's pretty like Ana Perla. But I think he and Blanquita will end up together.
Speaking of Eleazar and the will, how come Grumps isn't writing Joaquin in the will to provide for his daughter Raymunda? It seems strange to write Eleazar in the will to provide for Ana Perla (granddaughter); but not write Joaquin in the will to provide for Raymunda (daughter). I'd be mad about that if I were Joaquin & Raymunda.
Lastly, Malena is very impatient & self centered. I understand Aaron made you lose 20+ years of Veronica's life and you've finally found her again. I understand.
However, the girl has told you she needs time to process. And time and time again Malena decides her needs are more important than Veronica's needs (going off to find Veronica to make her listen knowing Aaron was on the loose in the city; storming over to Veronica's to give her the ADN test so Veronica will call her Mama etc). Giving Salma a much needed smackdown over her poor treatment of Veronica is a nice start, but respect Veronica's wishes to have time to process what's gone down.

Thank you, Adriana, for a great recap.
This is what I think will happen ... just my opinion, no spoiler. I don't know this tn nor have I watched previous versions, but just going by the tns personalities and direction up to this point. :-)
Virginia will probably STILL come out smelling like a rose and "happily" married. She'll feign shock at the accusations of her evil, jealous cousin who hates her and only wants to ruin the most wonderful day of her life, turn on the waterworks so that Salma, Emiliano and Jorge will ALL feel compelled to jump in and take the poor, defenseless, virginal bride's side! "What's wrong with you, Big Strong Veronica? Can't you see how she's suffering?" Then she (Virginia) will almost (but not quite) faint and her hero doctor will jump up to examine her (copping a little feel in the process) and declare that she is dying and the only thing that will save her is getting married to her beloved - and they ALL fall for it!
Veronica: But I have proof!
Salma, Emiliano, Jorge (in unison): WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!!
Martin (waffling): Welll ... maybe ... uhhh ... could Virginia be telling the truth? Umm, she does look innocent ... oh, dear, what and who should I believe ... (whining) oh, this is so hardddd! Waaaaaaaahhhhh!
Emiliano will hug Virginia protectively (is that a word?) and glare at Veronica, saying, "Let's continue with the ceremony!"
Virginia smirks behind his back and no one sees except Veronica.

Thank you Adriana for a wonderful recap of last night.
I liked Eleazar initially but I'm starting to get a bad vibe from him. Can't explain it but I don't like his insistence of wanting to marry AP when (as was mentioned in the recap he never mentions "love" as a reason for wanting to marry AP and he doesn't mind that AP doesn't love him). Time will tell if he's good or bad I guess.
Will Virginia FINALLY be unmasked? All the evidence is piling up and Vero has a way to back up what she is saying (with the letters & the photo that Matilde found). Can't wait to see what happens tonight.
I'm glad there was no DNA tampering. Good that Magda now knows for sure that Vero is her daughter. She does need to understand though that Vero needs time to assimilate everything before she can call her "mama".
I liked Eleazar initially but I'm starting to get a bad vibe from him. Can't explain it but I don't like his insistence of wanting to marry AP when (as was mentioned in the recap he never mentions "love" as a reason for wanting to marry AP and he doesn't mind that AP doesn't love him). Time will tell if he's good or bad I guess.

Duchess,
I too was disappointed with the short honeymoon of Vero & Marty. This one of the things that is frustrating with Mejia. He has a habit of giving more screen time to his side stories and not so much to the main couple. It could be the reason for the bad ratings that his novelas get.
Carlos,
I loved the remark about Claudia being Miss Universe material.

NovelaMaven, my prose is silky smooth? Now that is a metaphor I could never come up with. Thank you, you're very kind.
I think Virginia us so wrapped up in her big day, she forgot to take necessary precaution when it came to Mati. Yes, she does underestimate the nana! Hopefully she'll be sorry by the end of the day.
Carlos, I don't know if you were serious with the whole "how dare Matilde invade Virginia's privacy' but you cracked me up. Admittedly, that's one way to look at things.
Interesting debate about Eleazar. I don't see anything malicious in him, but that's maybe just because I never pay too much attention to Pablo, AP or her adoringly suffocating family.
About Claudia looking like Miss Universe... You guys know that Alicia Machado, the actress, WAS Miss Universe in 1996, right?
I'll be back later with more comments, gotta run fix dinner.
Keep the comments coming, guys, they're great!
Mauricio
This is the first time I am watching a Mejia TN. Never seen his other TNs. I think after this Lo Imperdonable, I wont be watching any of Mejia's TNs. I think what has saved this TN, is the great acting of Ana and Ivan. They have a very good chemistry and doing a fantastic job with their roles.
No more Meija TNs for me unless Ivan and Ana are the protagonists :)

Adriana,
Yes, I knew that she had been Miss Universe in 1996. That's what made the remark funny.
Duchess,
Mejia did the same with Triunfo del Amor. So much time wasted on the side stories (especially the one with Livia Brito and Pablo Monetro) and not enough time on the main couple which were the reason that I started watching. Eventually, I dropped it because I was sick and tired of all the focus on the side stories.
With this one, he does spend too much time on AP & Pablo. It sometimes feels as if they are the main couple.

Thank you for the recap, you guys are life savers (okay, novela savers)!
Hopefully Virginia's low-down dealings will come to light and her hoodwinked family will finally see her for who she really is tonight.
Re Mejia and his side stories: Is it possible his main stars get paid a salary PLUS extra for percentage of time they are actually onscreen? Maybe that's why he always features the side story casts more?

Great recap Adriana. So much detail!
And the big reveal about Virginia's treachery...went down like a led balloon! Call me crazy but I much preferred the La Mentira version with Kate del Castillo and Guy Ecker...pulling guns on each other and yelling up a storm!! Now there were some fireworks! This one with Vero and Marty's just seemed like another one of their silly fights to me. Oh well tonight will hopefully bring some more Drama.
I think Ginny's duplicity and scammy ways are way worse than Maty's finding that picture on the floor and just doing a little more digging to protect her cub Vero. The snooping was a means to an end where Ginny's ways were always to get the upper hand.
I think Eliazar is legit. He didn't mention love because he's just one of those blokes that does what he thinks is his duty so if his Dad told him to marry AP then that's what he's gonna do. No questions asked.
I totally missed the Miss Universe "inside joke" since Machado really was. Cute slipping that in there!
If I don't get a chance to come back today hope everyone has a great Labor Day Weekend!

Adriana Noel,
Thanks for providing us with a stellar recap. An awesome read this Friday evening.
I thought it was a pretty good episode. The reveal wasn't over the top but I think it played out ok. I mean up to this point Marty still thought Vero was "the one" so he is still trying to assimilate all the truths that are coming to light. He has believed that Vero was the mala mujer for so long that finding out he was wrong might take some time to enter his stubborn brain. I really hope that Marty goes all crazy on Ginny; she DOES deserve at least that much. And I hope Vero tells Salma "I told you so!"
I felt horrible for Pablo last night. I could feel his pain. I think AP should have listened to Pablo when he was begging her not to marry Eleazar and to run off with him. It was the perfect time to do it. Her Gramps was not there, and all they had to do was go before Julio and Blanquita showed up. Pablo seems to be doing all he can for their love, but AP needs to take a chance. She needs to tell Pablo the truth about why she is staying away from him. She needs to NOT be afraid of Manny. I am not sure what to think of Eleazar. He seems like a nice guy, but I guess he has no backbone and has never been in love, or he would not be marrying a woman he just met. Or maybe he was just raised that way?
Thanks again Adriana Noel!
Hasta Pronto!

Thank you, Adriana Noel. This episode had a lot of action, and you got it all. I have to say, too, as a former ESL writing instructor, that you write beautifully.
I thought The Big Reveal would help things, not make them worse. Silly me. It was a huge let down, that’s for sure.
The AP&P story definitely drags. Even worse for me is sad sap Magdelena. I know that she is supposed to be a sympathetic character, but I just can’t stand all the weeping and moping an neediness. She is an example of what I like least about Mejia’s work, from what I’ve seen of it, and that is the tearful histrionics and over-the-top sentimentality. Yes, I know those are part of every novela, but he overdoes it to the point of making his TNs unwatchable. Maybe it melts some people’s hearts, but it just makes me just want to turn the channel.
There were just mountains of the yucky seaweed in the Cancun beach scenes that were very visible this time. It looked knee deep behind our little lovebirds and black speckles of it underneath them. Gross. Normally those beaches would be pristine white sand.
This is a comment from a couple of days ago, but what on earth are Maggie and Botel doing back at the same hotel where she was raped? It even looked like the same room! I don’t think there is a rape victim on the whole planet who has wanted to sleep again in the bed where she was raped or anyplace near it; usually there is a imperative ‘flee’ response. So small wonder she’s having trouble getting her groove back. Did the writers not care? Or did production not have the pesos for a different set?
Eleazar seems okay to me, but his behavior doesn't make any sense. I don't blame him; I blame his writers.
Also on the topic of production cheapassness, there has been a ton of scenes shot with green screens in this novela, to the point that they are distracting and give the whole thing a cheesy look. I’ve never even noticed them much in any other novela, so that tells me it has to be way more or more poorly done in this one. Anyone want to do a drinking game whenever we see one? Have a little wine with the cheesy? Maybe it will numb the pain.
Can’t wait for the bodus interuptus tonight!

Mauricio, I couldn't read between the lines if your Claudia post. Sorry - there was à similar joke about her singing like a pro near the beginning of the story. Duh !
Jackie - thanks ! I do fancy myself a writer, I've had it in my blood ever since I was a kid. That's why I love this site so much, it allows me to write however I want about the siliness but also helps me keep up with my English.
OMG that gun pointing reveal in La Mentira !!! I had forgotten the detail, but it was amazing !
Carolina, I don't think the room is the same, this has to be just a cheap production décision. They could have at least moved some furniture around.
