Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #15 Mon 9/14/15 (Mex 19) Prelude to a Kiss!
Sonia overhears Pedro telling Fidel he wants to risk everything to pursue Fiorella. Sonia crashes down from her high. Federica notices and chides her about it. Pedro checks in with her before leaving for the office that she is ok. Yes, she is, she says cooly. Osvaldo enters as Pedro exits and they head for the office as well.
*The business matter Osvaldo screwed up from Diva:
What I got from that scene where Pedro was chewing out Osvaldo was that Osvaldo sent the third quarter figures to someone when he was *supposed* to be sending them a budget or an estimate for something. Now all their competitors will know the details of their finances (?) for the third quarter. And Osvaldo's excuse was that the two reports look the same. Which may be true, since large companies like to have a consistent "look" to their documents in terms of font, formatting, etc....but come on! He should have looked at the titles, which were surely not identical.

I had it completely bass-ackwards about Pedro's opinion of going to the fair (his hawtness was distracting) as well as Fi going to it. All's well that ends well, since they had fun and we got our besoooooo. I was a little disappointed. They looked like a pair of large mouth bass. Not what I was expecting.
That Roxy is one hot mess.
At the police station, Benito finally did not look like Roy the boy toy in AV.
I could see Benito ending up with a redeemed Roxy v2.0.
Doris, I agree about the large mouth bass kiss. Yeah..no...worst kiss ever. Yikes Pedro evidently did not play a lot of spin the bottle as a kid. Hot but not a hot kisser?
Well, except for all things Roxy. Cripes, horrible character being done by a bad actress. My head was screaming for a young Altair Jarabo or Jessica Koch ( she of the first Pedro besos). Now they could have played a bratty young 'un with some flair.
So Sonia is back on my pain in the a** list. She feels rejected by someone who was just trying to be nice and the claws come out. I swear, Eloisa could do herself a favor and tell everyone she's leaving every penny to charity. And if everyone had to go to work, what's wrong with Federica? Talk about worthless and taking up needed oxygen on the planet!
As for the sweet stuff, the carnival was cute. I think Jose did a fairly good job showing someone who hasn't been able to just have fun or let loose, and didn't know how to really handle what he was enjoying. As for the kiss...dang it was like I could hear the director in the back going "no, raise your heads a little, slower, ok stop, now move in, heads a little higher..." Just too planned ( and Jose is not one of the best kissers in TN's. Sort of noticed that in a previous show.)

Roxy needs a muzzle and/or a few sedatives. I would recommend to Pedro that he demote her to the company cafeteria and have her clean up after the other employees. Maybe then she might respect Joaquina.
I'm wondering who knows about that relationship.
I'd be all for Eloisa leaving everything to charity at this point. Pedro wouldn't complain because he's not afraid of work and he's competent.
Sonia: Who the hell wears a cocktail dress and bling to the office?
Doris, amica! Grazie! This cracked me up and I agree:
I was a little disappointed. They looked like a pair of large mouth bass.
Oh well, they've got to practice more and we'll be there cheering them on!
Oh noes! This is my first telenovela with him. This news puts a damper on proposing a Cougar Table on the Patio.
Urban - I had the same thought about Sonia's cocktail dress at the office. Then I figured she did not have time, what with her busy new career and all, to run by Ann Taylor and get some office wear. At least with the cocktail dresses (and other outfits), she can show off her fake boobs.
HOW on earth are Fedorica and Dante hanging out together without Eloisa et al knowing about it? Did he carve a tunnel from his room to hers?
Ciao, y'all.
Re: Pedro/Fifi kiss, I was distracted by the thought that Simoneta the Maid was going to pop up in the water beside them. And to me, their kiss seemed charmingly hesitant, I didn't really get the whole bass mouth vibe. Dang! that whole fish picture is going to mess with any future fantasies of me and Jose Ron kissing.
J in O
Daisynjay Mille grazie! You are so right about Sonia She feels rejected by someone who was just trying to be nice and the claws come out
Sheesh! And yes, why doesn't Freddie have to work, because she is Maximo's niece and not a grand youngun?
I'm going to WILL Jose to be a better kisser. After the past two shows we deserve it! Keep the faith, Doris!
Urban! Grazie, mille grazie! You also predicted Roxi would get Benni into trouble and you speak truth here: Roxy needs a muzzle and/or a few sedatives.
Like her proposed new job assignment, too!
Lila
And to me, their kiss seemed charmingly hesitant, I didn't really get the whole bass mouth vibe. Dang! that whole fish picture is going to mess with any future fantasies of me and Jose Ron kissing.
I like your take on the kiss better than mine! Throw the fish image out of your mind. I am the official defender of Pedro's kissing skills and Fifi's ability to teach him! He's not had a young, tender, sweet and innocent thing like her before! Don't give up on the cougar table, Doris! If not Pedro just yet, we can at least put Gael there. He needs lots of patience and instruction!
Lila
"and Roxi (who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig)"
Gawd, that was the kiss we've been waiting for? Looked like Pedro was blowing up a flotation device.
That big bear is making the rounds. Just saw it in Yo No.
"And she proceeds to eat his face", "Gael (with suspenders hanging down) and Roxi (who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig)" were among my favorites.
Your beautiful words included "Fiorella says the way the wind moved the trees. . .ummmm, a perfect prelude to a kiss" and "her smile fades as she feels the fire of passion that burns inside them both" were wonderful.
I've missed the last week so am still trying to absorb all this. Glad Pedro has relaxed a bit and like the gradual thawing. Fio's laughter and love for life is infectious and irrestible. I do wish the kiss was a better and let's say more delicate one.
doris, agree with your "At the police station, Benito finally did not look like Roy the boy toy in AV". Too funny.
daisy, I also agree with your comment that it would have been interesting to see what another actress might have done with the Roxi character. I hope the character does develop. She cannot scream all the time, can she??
Susanlynn, what lovely memories and thoughts of Madeline. She is deeply missed.
Diana
The way he took Fifi's frantic call in the middle of an important board meeting and as obsessive as he is about discretion and propriety: He said he would risk everything for her and so far, he's doing it! P.S. Them jeans was tight last night, wuttin they?
Diana! Mia amica! Bentornati al Patio y grazie! We missed you! Yes, I'd say Pedro is just about totally thawed out! As you can see from the comments, we have high standards for our novela kisses but some of us are willing to cut him some slack. It's getting funner and funner, Diana and I'm happy to be breezy, bright and refreshing after what we've all been through!
RE: THE KISS.......my favorite had to be Jose Antonio (Juan Angel Esparza) and Ester (Elizabeth Valdez) in .Corazon Indomable. HAWT!!
Very sweet of Fiorella to give the bear to the little boy. Her karma should improve or is that the first installment to her final payoff?
J. I like Jq or moma j. These are just some suggestions.
Finally they got a kiss under their belt.
Roxy is a mess. Next, shes dragging benito
With her.
Fredrica, the she devil. And all the usual bad
Suspects. Gael should spend more time with
Gigi, he'll behave better. Roxy is bad, bad, bad company. I'd rather see more interaction
With fifi and pedro. His family is a riot.
Okay, Sonia is going to the dark side, but I still like looking at her. Amazing how quickly she flipped from loathing her husband and sniffing after Pedro to hating Pedro and slurping all over Osvaldo's face.
I guess we are too G rated for Fi to take off her slip before going into the water, and Pedro jumped in with his pants on - both would have some 'splaining to do when they got back to the house, I would think.
It looked like Fi really did get Pedro to enjoy himself a little. Good for her.
Thanks again, Lila.
David
I also watched Friday's episode, and liked the chemistry between cute Gael and Gianna.
So, we still don't know who are the parents of Gael or Osvaldo? No mention of other children Eloisa and Max had who died/left/got locked up? Hmmm....
I don't mind Diana(?) going after Vito. He seems to want a sweet young thing to settle down with (and at least she's older than Fi), and she wants security. The only problem I see is that she lied about having a child.
Gracious, Urban, I'll stick to the little stuffed animals!
Nina! Grazie! Grazie! I think I like Quina! Federica, "she devil" indeed! Uuuf! Can't stand the heffa and I know she ain't even got started yet! Yah, Los Angeles Riot! That's what they are!
David! Mille grazie! David, that slip was so purty, I wish'd they'd blurred her image and let her take that off! Doh! But, I know, she's not "that kind" of a girl. I STILL think they gon' have some 'splaining to do! The way Osvaldo and Sonia keep just missing them it's hard to tell if the writers want them to get away with this innocent fun. Oh darn! Eight hours to go!
"A racoon in a skirt and a bad sign".. Perhaps my favorite line..ever !!!!
I took Sonia's office garb to show she hasn't worked a day in her life, or at least married life, she doesn't know how to dress otherwise. Which basically points to someone who only wants that life since she has no identification or desire to be anything but rich and fashionable.
Daisynjay
Anyway, if she gets his attention he might get real about Fiorella.
Poor Benito, but Rox is probably his payback for keeping info about Fiorella from Vittorio.
And nope, no clues on Gael and Osvaldo's parents though this episode fairly screamed that Quina (thanks, Nina) and Maximo are probably Roxi's parents. And yes, I like Diana and Vitto as well. Both Vitto and Diana have told big lies about their identify and this puts them on the same moral playing field for me. He's older, though, and who knows what kind of gimmicks he may have performed in the past. And IF Vitto finally sees Fifi though, I could see Diana joining the let's get Fifi train!
I better do some work stuff, y'all! Keep talking, see you in a few! Grazie to all!
Big Ed wrote the playbook for those prepositional phrases in AV. #goodtimeswerehadbyall
"Roxi does her most memorable (and irritating) shrewish squealing to date." No kidding. She may be an "Angeles" but what a total lack of class...funny how it's always the characters who are most obsessed with it who fail to show any.
"Gael seems confused and defenseless. You need to stay away from Federica, honey!" Agree! The more I see of her, the more dangerous I think she is. OK, splashing the paint was a little childish, but other than that, she's playing for keeps.
What I got from that scene where Pedro was chewing out Osvaldo was that Osvaldo sent the third quarter figures to someone when he was *supposed* to be sending them a budget or an estimate for something. Now all their competitors will know the details of their finances (?) for the third quarter. And Osvaldo's excuse was that the two reports look the same. Which may be true, since large companies like to have a consistent "look" to their documents in terms of font, formatting, etc....but come on! He should have looked at the titles, which were surely not identical.
"I hope the fact that we can hear Fiorella’s frantic pleading is for the sake of the viewing audience and NOT because the call is on speaker but it seems to be!" Right? Why didn't he step out of the room for that, regardless?
"Can y’all guess which restaurant it is?" Ugh. I did. And I was sorry to be right. I'd like to lobby for an end to all the near-misses involving La Dolce Vita, but I'm guessing they're just going to keep on coming.
"Roxi (who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig)" HA! Yes she did! Perfect description!
Once again my DVR cut off, so you are saving the day! I hope we get a replay of that kiss tonight! Thank you again, Lila!
Susanlynn, thanks for that shoutout to Mads and her pumpkin spice lattes. Hope they have 'em in heaven. And a pop radio station as well. It can't be all Baroque music and hymns. Can it?
Office wear, as portrayed on these telenovelas is really confusing. Teresa was always wearing cocktail dresses to the office as well. Our son, who was often passing through the family room while I was watching, dubbed her Ms.Forever Inappropriately Dressed. But his eyes certainly lit up as well! So Ms. Sonia of the aggressive cleavage, knows what she's doing.
And so do you Ms. Lila...thanks for another sparkling recap.
Heres some ideas for some nicknames for Jaoqina: jaoqy, moma J, Jq, qina, just an idea, a funny one at that. 1 more jiji. LOL!!!
Frederica is not a nice person.
Roxy is a big mess, and benito is odd.
I only liked the part with fifi and pedro, and fifi and granny, and figi and pedro and granny
They are the most interesting characters.
I certainly hope that our Mada a pop radio station available to her. We know how much she lived her tunes .
By the way, have you heard from Elna June or Sylvia lately ? I miss their comments.
So, I forgot to mention that the idea of a surgery did come up last night for our dear Gianna ( sorry, I'm sort of liking the younger sister a tad more). Whenever we have one of those slips into the conversation, you have to wonder what's to come. I'm sitting at the G&G table with hopes she gets some good guy to help thru this (frankly, if she wasn't so young, she and Pedro sort of looked adorable last night. Just sayin'.) Her fragile heart may be the catalyst to get everyone else's heart to be where it should be.
Daisynjay
"Roxi (who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig)"
I agree …. best line in the entire recap!!! Kudos, Lila!
How about 'Jacki' as a nickname for Joaquina?
Or 'Jo'?
ITA about the "family" call. I guess that's supposed to show how Pedro is indeed risking everything for Fio-RELLA! And yes, I am tired of the near misses with Vitto! DOH!
Yaaaay! Diva wants to see the kiss again! Fifi didn't seem to have any complaints!
JudyB! Amica mia! Grazie! OMG! Did you mention my first Telenovio, Jamie Camil!? Oh, my Lord, that man got me started into novelas in the first place. That he could kiss Lettie with a full metal jacket in her mouth in her "ugly" phase like THAT! Oh yeah, he made me fall in love with telenovela romance and I've never looked back. I'm the defender of Pedroh's besohs but he won't be coming close to Jaime even in 160 episodes!
Man, this is sweet: Sonia of the aggressive cleavage HA!
Nina! Please tell me I'm not seeing double or having a senior moment! I'm sure I saw and responded to this comment earlier in the day? Day-zjah-voo? Well, grazie otra vez, honey!
Sara! Sorella preziosa! Mille grazie! Lordy, two shows you recap and school has just started! I'm pleased you share some of your time with us on the Patio. Prego!
I think I forgot to mention that I liked the kiss. But it's maybe a 7. 7.5 if I'm generous.
I digress, am loving Muchacha Italiana and the company of the patio.
I will give Pedro a chance to redeem himself in the besos department. Practice makes perfect, right? But we all know that in true telenovela style, something will separate our protags a few times and then we will be in a dry spell. Or drought. Ack.
Susanlynn! I consider it an assignment to watch Jane the Virgin! And an enjoyable one it will be!
OMG, this is funny as hey-yull! The worst kisser I have ever seen was Pablo Montero in FELS. Someone described it as " like a lamprey" here on Caray, and I never forgot that. Oy.
Ok, Sara! Let me go back and look at The Kiss! BRB!
Love the comment about Sonia's aggressive cleavage. That is one for the sidebar.
That said, I'm going to go with my sorella on the Left Coast, J in O, and say "And to me, their kiss seemed charmingly hesitant. . .". Also, it was a lip- vs. a tongue-munching kind of kiss. The latter can be quite a bit more "dangerous" and lead more quickly to a Miss exclaiming no puede ser! in the short term future.
Verdict in: A charmingly slow and hesitant exchange of breath followed by the savoring of lips; a preview of deeper, sexier kisses to come.
And how many of you remember that the English word buss means kiss? It's never used anymore and I was surprised to find this:
buss
Also found in: Medical, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
buss (bŭs)
tr. & intr.v. bussed, buss·ing, buss·es
To kiss.
n. A kiss.
[Possibly blend of obsolete bass (akin to French baiser) and obsolete cuss (akin to Middle English kissen, to kiss; see kiss), or from Scottish Gaelic bus, lips, mouth; see puss2.]
Emphasis added. Source: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/buss
So, even if Pedro did come off like a bass, he's still golden! And it was a French Kiss! Go, Pedro!
Why does it look like they're kissing each others top lip? They do that in American soaps too. someone said Pedro looks like a Blowfish like he's about to blow up some kind of apparatus, funny.
