Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #10 Mon 9/7/15 (Mex 11-12) Fiorella, I love you!
Dante, on horseback, has poor Gianna at his mercy but we are made to go back inside the Big House at El Rancho Los Angeles (ERLA) to witness the aftermath of Eloisa’s dressing down of Sonia about her “convenient” miscarriage.

"And we sigh, too! Dagnabbit!" Well, heck yeah, that little fantasy sequence was swoon-worthy! I didn't even care that it made no sense when it started, I just wanted them to go for it already! Give in to the fresh air and the flowers and quit torturing us all!
"Then they argue about the party and she stops her tirade to sing him an off key bar of 'happy birthday to you' and I think a smile flits across Pedro’s face as she lights into him about all the trouble he caused" Oh, yeah, that right there, that was the moment...with the music swelling and Fi finally teasing him instead of screeching at him and Pedro finally finding it charming. THIS is what we've been waiting for since the beginning!
There were a lot of people suddenly softening today. Pedro with Fiorella, of course, but his conversation with Sonia was also tender. At least she seemed comforted, even though that whole "[you] chose to be part of a 'difficult' family" thing sounded a little harsh. I'm not sure that Eloisa didn't get a little choked up looking at Gael there in the entertainment room or whatever it was...it seemed like she said something horrible to cover up her real emotions, and now it makes me curious.
They were not at all subtle with the music cues when Julieta was looking at Fiorella...er, at least I thought I heard a little bit of a "this is significant" cymbal sound when she was watching from the hedges. And I remembered that Mario said something to Fiorella before he died...so I looked it up and what I wrote in the recap for the first episode was "One day she'll find out some things she won't understand, but she should remember that he always loved her. All will be revealed at the proper time." And on Friday's episode, Julieta said something about having to get rid of a baby...did she maybe mean give one away?
Laughed at -
Theme songus interruptus
Your theory about why Adela and Ray only have one child
Even though it was only a daydream, that scene at the end shows that these two have a lot of chemistry and there may be a lot of swooning in our future. I'm sold. I like this show more and more every episode.
Diva- let's also throw in the fact that Julieta doesn't like Fifi. Sometimes the llamada de la sangre works negatively.
Yes, Pedro is thawing for sure! Yippee! And yes, I'll take a fake kiss! Thanks for that bit on the scene with Gael. I was really confused. There is a real mysterious undercurrent in the relationship with Gael, Osvaldo and Pedro. Who knows what is behind it all!
Thank you for this as well and let's remember this, Muchacha Peeps:
I remembered that Mario [Fiorella's Dad} said something to Fiorella before he died...so I looked it up and what I wrote in the recap for the first episode was "One day she'll find out some things she won't understand, but she should remember that he always loved her. All will be revealed at the proper time." And on Friday's episode, Julieta said something about having to get rid of a baby...did she maybe mean give one away?
I want to thank everyone in advance! I'm back to work after two weeks off so I may not be able to chat like I have been since the show started. Don't let that stop y'all. I know we don't have quite the audience of La Sombra, but I'm happy to be back in the sunlight! Let's enjoy this!
I'm enjoying the slow build, especially after the quick build and the languishing middle of Sombra.
Granny telling Gael that he didn't get enough oxygen when he was born was one of the nicest things she has said to her nietos.
I don't know what to make of the Sonia character. She seems genuinely distraught over losing her baby, but when they inject that she gave up her "career," I just have to laugh; we've seen her perform! Her "career" should be restricted to the shower. Having said that, her husband seems to be an unlikely combination of low intelligence and high insensitivity.
5ft, Fifi could be Julieta's lost baby? WOW!! I love that, even if it doesn't pan out. Frankly, I am not understanding exactly what role Julieta serves in this, unless it is to be a mirror for the actions of the rest of the crazy household.
I guess the Freddy character is just there to stir the pot and evoke certain kinds of reactions from the other characters when needed.
Dante seems rather closer to Eloisa than would be warranted by his position. I wonder if there is a story there.
Thanks again, Lila. Loved every line you wrote.
David
I like your speculations on the roles of Freddie and Julieta. Federica is certainly a trouble maker. I don't know if there's strategy behind it or if she's just keeping herself amused until she goes for Eloisa's jugular to defend her daddy, who was done wrong.
And Dante? Eloisa seems to keep him close cause he's got some dirt on her or Maximo? It's something that benefits them both to be kept under wraps yet Dante is plotting with Freddie as well AGAINST Eloisa. Does Freddie know what Dante and Eloisa's secret is?
I hope somebody with better skill at sniffing out mysteries keeps track of these. What a tangled web!
David
Yes, Lila! So many little mysteries going in. *rubs hands together in anticipation *
Lila, thank you for that detailed retelling of the new developments.
There are a lot of grumpy folks in this show. The guy playing Dante planned a similar part in Corazon Salvaje. ...
Kind of an Igor role. Abuela is nasty.
I definitely get a Dynasty-Fslcon Crest-Dallas vibe when the family sits down at that dinner table.
Sara and David, I always notice the wardrobe , but I do not comment on it too often because I once got a scolding from someone when I remarked on the verra short, skintight dresses that both the young leading lady AND the hoorrrrs wore. it seems that in addition to reading tarot cards, Fed spends a lot of her time putting together colorful , artsy outfits. Move over Pru, here comes Feddy. Oh...fashion alert : I just read in Glamour magazine that granny panties are newly trendy.
Sara, jammies are cool. When I was gainfully employed, I always wore a shirt and tie to my office, but since I have retired, I wear some of the weirdest combinations of clothes that you could imagine.
David
sara, I need a grammar lesson! I've heard both "llamada" and "llamado" applied to phone calls, but usually "llamada de la sangre." I looked it up online and found both "llamada" and "llamado"...is this a case of regional differences or just one of those "everybody always says it wrong" things that only sounds right now because it's a common error?
Lila, I'm looking forward to getting into all the undercurrents and finding out more about the family history. Seems like they've set up a lot of mysteries. I just hope they also set up the answers and aren't going to make things up at the last minute!
David, I don't understand what Julieta is doing there either. It feels very contrived to me that she just happened to show up just at this time, just before Fiorella and Gianna arrived. I may be seeing coincidences where there aren't any, but if Julieta has this deep pain and Fiorella is so clearly in need of a parent (ok, she got them to the ranch, but...blackmail?) it sure would be nice to find out they're connected.
sara, "I'm really more of a pajamas kind of gal," well, Federica's flowing outfits do have that easy-to-wear feel :D
Susanlynn, oh, I think I know the shorts you're talking about! I was in a play a couple of years ago about the Mighty Vandals, AZ's high school basketball state champions in 1951. It was a bit of a shock for the actors when they first had to try those basketball uniforms on!
OT ..Sara..I am glad that you noticed my "verra". Did you notice " hoorrrs?" I also have started peppering my conversations with " Do you Ken?" I hope that you have checked out Those hilarious screencaps of Outlander . I laugh outloud at them. Goggle : Outlander Killing Time connievb" They remibd me so much of our funny , irreverant , sassy, saucy recaps here.I am always in need of a laugh.
Like the fact that according to Eloisa, the entire family loved Pedro's mom, Pilar, and they were all deeply affected by "what happened," but especially Pedro, who "can't erase it from his mind."
P.s. Hub just recently left the house for an appointment in his favorite shorts...I give up.
The booze in Tania's apartment is indeed Chuck Daniels.
Ok. I'm going to attempt to peck this out in my phone. Be prepared for autocorrect fails.
I am very entertained by this one, yet I find that there's not much to say about it. Does that make sense? Or is this just me?
In addition to loving pajamas, I am also starting to become curious about reading cards. I've even pulled out my copy of The Way of the Tarot by Alejandro Jodorowsky that I bought years ago (actually discovered I had one copy in English and one in Spanish... WTH, self?)
sara..I think that there is not much to say because the rancho guests don't do anything..except yoga, reading cards, waiting for the will. Plus, Pedro is on the ranch now, so there is no biznes happening .
Now to prove that I am not a robot by identifying pie. I want pie.
I get no deep feelings from anyone in this show.
I am hoping for some good looking horses. I miss Sombra and his Fresian friend.
And Gael. I can't shake the feeling that he is deeply misunderstood and is a nice guy.
Ah me, still a bit confused after a week away, but knew not to fall for that lovely daydream of Fiorella. Still, having dreamed many a romance like that, I enjoyed it anyway. And hopefully one day it will all come true.
Bit bleary-eyed this morning after staying up to watch the OSU Virginia Tech game, but enjoyed the recap immensely. And wish I knew Italian...it sounds so delicious being spoken! Rich and juicy.
"And we sigh, too! Dagnabbit!"
Well, that apology from Fifi a surprise.
Re:Sonia. Now that I'm re-watching, it's everyone else who teases her and hints that she wants Pedro, and that influenced how I look at her, taking all the barbs at face value. I'm questioning, after this episode especially, whether that's really what's going on. I mean, she had an opportunity to draw him in when they had their private moment, but she made no moves in that direction, that I could see.
I wonder how much the salary is for a personal cymbalist?
Diva, ITA re the mysteries: I just hope they also set up the answers and aren't going to make things up at the last minute!
Ooo, Diva, thanks for the reminder of Pedro's mom's name. Jeezopete. There may be some actual skeletons in the closet at El Rancho! Thanks for rewatching Diva, you can help clear up and splain stuff.
I call those old-timey basketball shorts, "Dukes for Dudes."
Susanlynn, you've almost got me wanting to check out Outlander. Are they books and a tv series as well. Pardon me if this is already covered ground.
Judy B! Amica preziosa e cara! Grazie, mille grazie! Amo le lingue latine. Tutti loro sono deliziosi! My dear and precious friend. I love Latin languages. All of them are delicious! And with the internet, it's easy to explore, play around and sound like you know what you're talking about! ;D Off work, making my way down the comments!
Loving y'all's conversation!
Tofie! Yaaay! You are welcome, girl! Benvenuto, amica mia! Yes! I loved the apology from Fifi and her returning the diary. You're not in the minority, Sara. I was pissed at her last week but I've kinda forgotten it. I love that she is already in love with Pedro and I know she will not let him abuse or make a fool of her.
Lila, I nearly spit out my drink at "Dukes for Dudes!"
Thank you, Susanlynn! Hmmm. Sounds interesting. Got some "Mc" in my blood. Is that Scottish? Regardless of culture, I love me some romance bwetween people who are willing to express and fight FOR their love, not against each other! Mille grazie, amica!
"I give ye my body that we two may be one; I give ye my spirit til our lives be done." And that is a good description of how the whole long tale spins out....lots of body and spirit giving throughout.
Yah, baby! Thanks, again!
