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.

It doesn’t take long for Roxi to get Benito in trouble.  It’s the morning after partying at the anthro and her sitting in Benito’s lap as the car weaves down the street calls attention to the police.  They are arrested and hauled in for driving under the influence.  Roxi does her most memorable (and irritating) shrewish squealing to date.  She throws a hissy fit when they are stopped and also at the Police station about how she’s an Angeles and these pitiful peons have no IDEA who they’re messing with.  At the station an officer records the whole tirade on his phone and calls one of his contacts with the media.  He must get lots of juicy stories like this.  Rey bails Benito out.  Roxi is rude and dismissive of Rey, of course.  Benito hopes he doesn’t lose his job!

Eloisa, Sergio, Julieta, Anibal and Freddie are having breakfast.  Roxi and Gael are missing Eloisa notes and Joaquina claims Roxi is still asleep.  Freddie busts out both Roxi and Gael:  they didn’t come home.  I think Joaquina knew.  Small talk about the hunt and the spiritual retreat Eloisa and Julieta are going on.  Fifi runs in and breathlessly announces that Gigi is nowhere to be found!  Eloisa sends the devil, I mean, Dante, to look again for Gianna when Gael enters to tell Eloisa and Fiorella that she is in her room.  Eloisa fusses Gael out for not being at the office and Freddie is on hand to tease and imply that Gael was “messing around” with the little Italian girl.  Gael seems confused and defenseless.  You need to stay away from Federica, honey!

At The Office, Pedro chews Osvaldo out about the earnings of the last trimester.  *(See Diva's comment below.  Grazie, Diva!)  Apparently Osvaldo has some responsibility for this lackluster performance and Pedro growls that Osvaldo needs to show the clients and shareholders that an Angeles is at the reins.  Please help here, anybody.  This is what I got out of it.  Sonia has been in the office all this time and sidles up to Osvaldo after Pedro has stormed out.  What Ozzie needs to do is displace Pedro in the affections of Eloisa and she knows exaaaaactly how to do it! 

What is the one thing that Eloisa wouldn’t forgive Pedro?  Lying to her.  Soooo, what they have to do is let Eloisa know that Pedro is going with (in the full extension of the palabra) La Italianita (Fiorella).  This serves them as well because, if they don’t stop her, she could end up with EVERYTHING!  Osvaldo wants to know if Sonia cooked up this little plan because she’s jealous of Fiorella.  Oh, no, that was a mistake and she just did it (kissing Pedro) for spite because she was mad at him.  And she proceeds to eat his face.

At the clinic, Gianna declares her independence!  Fiorella needs to calm down and stop freaking out every time she can’t lay eyes on her immediately!   She’s got a life of her own!  Gianna goes alone to see the Dr.  Once again, Gigi is advised how critical it is that she takes her medicine EXACTLY as prescribed.  What if she does and it doesn’t work she asks.  Then, she’ll have to have an operation.  Gianna DOES NOT want an operation!  Fifi calls Pedro about Gigi’s new attitude.  We see Pedro’s side of the conversation.  He is in the board room taking the call while in the foreground the board table is full of Osvaldo, Sonia and important looking people.  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!  Anywho, Pedro promises to talk to Gianna, not to worry, she’s just trying to have some space and take some responsibility for her health.   He hangs up and rejoins the group, apologizing that it was a FAMILY call.  Osvaldo and Sonia roll their eyes.

We meet Diana’s mom and see her cute little baby again.  She tells her mom she had to lie to get this plum job and instructs her mom to go along with the story that she has no children or any impediments to her availability what.so.ever!  Mom does not look pleased.

Fidel drives the girls back to El Rancho from the Dr. appointment.  Gigi refuses to tell Fifi anything about the Dr. appointment. . .all the same stuff, nothing new!  Gigi’s got to pee real bad.  Fifi thinks she’s just trying to change the subject.  Fidel knows of a restaurant nearby, he’ll stop there.  Can y’all guess which restaurant it is?

After they’ve left the Police station, Benito takes Roxi to The Office.  He wants to talk about what happened last night and tries to make a date with her.  Hmmmm.  I don’t know if they’re implying anything other than drunken dancing happened last night but Roxi blows him off.  Nothing happened.  There is no “we.”  She does not hang out or eat with the help and he’d better not tell ANYbody ANYthing!  She and Gael head  in “to work.”

Another tiresome near miss happens as the girls arrive at La Dolce Vita just as Diana sends Vitto to the office to take an important phone call.  Diana refuses to let Gigi use the bathroom.  Fifi tells Diana what she thinks of that kind of inhospitality, getting rather loud on her and the girls leave just before Vitto reenters the dining room wondering what all the fuss was about.  He approves of how Diana handled the situation and the girls get back in the limo with Fidel vowing to never return to that restaurant again!  Humph!

Back at Corporativo a business associate wants Pedro to attend The Dos Rios Fair, it’s very important.  He tries unsuccessfully to decline and invites Osvaldo and Sonia to go in his name.  Now I’m the one confused.  I think they are all going to go.  I’ll see if this gets any clearer later.

Okay, so Pedro stops Gael (with suspenders hanging down) and Roxi (who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig) from going into The Office.  Are they kidding?  They look a mess.  After Pedro leaves Roxi goes back to the elevator and intends to go into The Office anyway:  what does she care what other people think!  We don’t get to see how this disaster plays out.

Freddie is with Dante back at El Rancho trying to figure out what’s going on.  She recalls Sonia being on cloud nine one minute and down in the dumps the next.  Hmmm.  Must have something to do with some in-house shenanigans.  Dante shows her his phone, no doubt surveillance footage of Sonia going into Pedro’s bedroom.  Freddie is delighted.

Pedro talks to Gigi about her medicine regime, he agrees to talk to Fiorella to calm her fears.  Gigi thinks Fifi doesn’t know the gravity of her illness.  Yes, she does and has known for a long time.  She has had to be very strong to keep this from her.  Oh my, Gigi realizes they were both trying to protect each other.   Now the truth is out and she must redouble her efforts to follow the Drs. Orders and face this like the battle for her life that it is!  Gianna hugs Pedro.  Awwww, a new fratello, hermano, brother!

Pedro finds Fifi in the stables and lets her know he talked to Gianna and she agreed to follow the doctor’s recommendations.  Fiorella flings her arms around Pedro’s neck in thanks but her smile fades as she feels the fire of passion that burns inside them both.  She sighs involuntarily, apologizes and then backs away.  Pedro mentions the fair he has to go to.  We have a cute scene as they each talk aloud about it, she in wistful, glowing terms, the music, the food, the fun and he in long-faced Pedro terms:  the noise, the trash, the people, worst of all is the music.  Ah, well, he’s got to go!  Pedro leaves and Fifi runs off excitedly to talk to Gigi. . .

. . .about the fair.  Gigi is as down on it as Pedro was.  She wants to stay home and arrange her pill caddy and goes off to her room.   Fifi turns her excitement on Simoneta who has entered the kitchen.  A call comes in from Sonia, Simoneta lays the phone down on her way to look for a blouse that Sonia wants.  Over the forgotten open line Sonia hears Fifi talking excitedly to Simoneta about the fair.  Simoneta has a pretty little number left by a former employee that she can wear!  Off they trot to find the dress.  Sonia vows that Fiorella is going to regret her decision to sneak into the fair.

In case we haven’t figured it out yet there is a scene that screams, “Roxana is MY DAUGHTER!”  Benito and Gianna are having dinner and discuss Roxi’s , uh, behavior, the previous night.  Joaquina vociferously defends Roxi:  they are NOT to speak disrespectfully of her. . .or . . .er. . . of any of the Angeles household!  Yeah, Joaquina, we’ve got to get a nick name  for you girl, typing that is killing me.  Benito finds out Fiorella has gone to the fair and suddenly he has to leave.  Umm hmmm.

Pedro opens the Two Rivers Fair with a ribbon cutting ceremony .  The business associates of earlier in the day are there and Pedro is distressed to see Fifi standing in the first row of the crowd.  Pedro leaves the stage and goes right to Fiorella who seems to feel right at home in his arms.  Well, folks, it’s late, let me wrap this up.  Pedro is a nervous nelly what with the press always sniffing around and Fifi is feeling free and spontaneous and, well, Fifi-like.  They buy “disguises”, a hat for each, a red wig for her and red bandana for him.  We have a cute montage of carnival rides, merry go round, and Fifi shows herself to be a better shot at one of those shooting games.  She knocks the little target off and reveals a screw which held the target on and shoots that off as well and wins one of those MONSTER TEDDY BEARS which she gives to a cute little boy.  They dance, gaze into each other’s eyes and dance cheek to cheek.  I know it’s weird but I can feel Pedro’s tension through the tv.  Oh, he’s having fun but I don’t feel he’s as relaxed as he should be.

Sonia and Osvaldo are all over the place looking for them.  Sonia thinks she sees them but the business dudes from earlier interrupt their pursuit.  Fidel is looking for Pedro as well.  Cut to Benito talking to some randoms apparently giving a description of Fiorella.

Pedro indeed wants to get back.  Okay, Okay, he had fun. . . .with her.  They go back and forth:  he wants to go, she wants him to stay, it’s just one night!  Osvaldo and Sonia are still skulking around, hoping to catch the two in a compromising position.  Pedro and Fiorella run away from the crowd.  She wants to ask him some questions.  Is there anything that he’s always wanted to do for a very long time?  There are so many things, he can’t say.  Okay, what was his childhood dream, a dream that he used to have all the time?  A dream that could always put a smile on his face, even if he dreamed it everyday?  He can’t tell her.  Wait, she wants him to come with her.  She spies one of those rickshaw bicycle thingies and Pedro pedals it away and we find them sitting on a dock, dangling their feet in the water.  This is a place he used to come a lot when he was a child.  Ahhh, she had a similar place in Italy.  She enjoyed the silence, Pedro adds, and the solitude; Fiorella says the way the wind moved the trees. . .ummmm, a perfect prelude to a kiss.  Pedro moves a lock of hair from her face and moves in close.  Fiorella tenses slightly and then stands.  She wants to cool off in the water.  Of course Pedro says no.  He walks away.  Fiorella slips out of her dress and jumps (in that pretty white, satin slip) into the opaque green water.  She fakes a cramp, Pedro strips off his shirt and plunges in to save her.  She admits it was a joke; he gets over a tiny flash of annoyance and they close the distance between them ever soo sloooowly to gently part and then clasp their lips together.  Yaaaaah!

*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.

Lila - thank you for the recap!

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.
 

thanks, Lila.

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?
 

Woohoo Lila! Great recap and I have to admit, some of the antics last night were fun to watch.

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.)

Daisynjay
 

Good work, Lila and this episode was not edited. Let's hope this continues.

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?
 

Buongiorno y'all! Got to rush off to work and then I should have a few minutes before the bosses get in to greet the rest of the Patio!

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!
 

"(and Jose is not one of the best kissers in TN's. Sort of noticed that in a previous show.) "
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.
 

LILA--thanks for the great recap and posted so quickly for our enjoyment! Looooved it! Favorite: "Roxi...who looks like a raccoon in a skort and bad wig." Gotta say, the racoons around my house do not look this bad!

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
 

Grazie, Susanlynn! Give Pedro a chance, Susanlynn! He's had his nose to the grindstone too much. The boy needs help, Fifi! She'll whip him in to shape and seems like he'll be only too glad to submit!

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
 

J in O! Amica mia da ovest! Grazie!

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
 

I am thinking if our Madeline this morning. She loved her pumpkin spice coffee this time of year.In her honor, I am dedicating two songs to Pedro and Fi..Robbie Dupree's Steal AWay and Hall and Oates' Your Kiss is on My List (of things I have to work on). Happy earworms.
 

Thank you 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.
 

Lila, I loved your recap. It sailed along on a cool breeze, bright and refreshing.

"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
 

Awww, Susanlynn, thank you! I'm going to look for some of that! It sounds delicious. Thank you for the earworms! Driving in to work, thinking about the episode Herb Alpert, "This Guys in Love with You" came on my iPod. I think that fits Pedro very well.

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?
 

Tofie! Grazie, amica! Although I'm defending The Kiss 1.0, your critique of it cracks me up, Tofie!

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!
 

Thank you Lila.....raccoon in a skort and bad wig! Priceless. Loved your recap.

RE: THE KISS.......my favorite had to be Jose Antonio (Juan Angel Esparza) and Ester (Elizabeth Valdez) in .Corazon Indomable. HAWT!!
 

I just looked up the price of those huge plush animals and those are bien caros! The bears of that size are $60-150 while the first lion I saw was almost $5K. He is quite real-looking.

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?
 

Lila, good recap, good recap. A nick mame for jaoqina: jaoqy, qina, jq, J the maid, moma
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.
 

Hi, Lila. You sailed through this, as Diana noted, with a breezy freshness that tied all this together for us again. Thanks.

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


 

Lila- This was such a perfect recap and episode for me to come back to from vacation. So much fun and so much blossoming love. I didn't mind the non-perfect kiss-- practice will take care of that. I was just so glad the kiss happened, and to see the transformation in Pedro since I last saw him. He is really coming out of his shell and stepping up to the plate to be there for Fi-Gi.

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.
 

Hey, Emeraldrose! Grazie! Jeez. Hmm. I saw C.I. Do you know what episode that was? Ahem! I'm still defender of Pay-dro's Bay-soh!

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!
 

The huge bear made it's first major appearance in Teresa, as the Arturo Bear which Teresa compared to her little Mariano Bear. It's been in a few tns since then. It might not be the same bear each time, but the same brand/maker.
 

Lila...love me some Herb Alpert. I think that he is still touring. I went to one of his concerts.Great.

"A racoon in a skirt and a bad sign".. Perhaps my favorite line..ever !!!!
 

Oh, Diana, I am unfortunately convinced that someone told the Roxy actress ( I can't even be bothered to look up her name) to act spoiled and all that screaming, bug eyes and hand waving is what she came up with. A pray she calms down at some point or I vote for her character to be the required "laid out flat in the hospital in a coma" for, oh, I don't know, the next 60 plus episodes. Then she can awaken and be as dull as a door knob.

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
 

I think Diana's mother would be a better match for Vittorio than Diana herself. But she was probably ditched by someone her own age so maybe an older man with dinero looks better and better to her.

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.
 

Vivi! Sorella mia! Bentornati al Patio! Mi sei mancato! Mille grazie! Oh, Pedro must look like a new man to you! I love this nickname combo: Fi-Gi.!

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!
 

Ah, Susanlynn! Would LOVE to see Herb Alpert! Alas, he only lives on my iPod!

I better do some work stuff, y'all! Keep talking, see you in a few! Grazie to all!
 

Lila.....I think THE KISS (aka a roll in the hay) was around episode # 61 or there abouts. Am a real Esparza fan so THE KISS was quite memorable.
 

Lila.......oops episode #59' recap complete with before and after photos. I think our Diva did that one.


 

I don't like Livia Brito either Cynderella and Fifi did throw herself at Pedro. Stripping off and jumping in, as if that isn't obvious.
 

Whoops.. That was supposed to be "bad wig" not "bad sign"... Thanks autocorrect
 

Cynderella..There have not been a lot of prepositional phrases in this one except....the substandard kissing scene in the water! Meh
Big Ed wrote the playbook for those prepositional phrases in AV. #goodtimeswerehadbyall
 

Gracias, Lila! I'm loving the recap!

"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!
 

"Roxi looks like a racoon in a skort and a bad wig". Lordy!, that belongs on the sidebar. Too true! I turned it off, so weary of Ms. Roxi, and counted on the DVR for today. AND THE DVR SHUT OFF BEFORE THE KISS!!!!! Color me apoplectic. Of course, if it was a large bass mouth beso, then I say put out a 911 and have Jaime Camil arrive and coach José Ron. Those kisses in Fea Mas Bella were divine. And unforgettable.

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.
 

Lila Lila Lila, goog recap, good snark too.
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.
 

Judyb..."aggressive cleavage"...indeed .

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.
 

No, Susanlynn...not from either. Although if I were a little more clever with the computer, I might be able to follow Sylvia's sailing adventures. For Elna June, I just pray that her head injury, which led to such crippling headaches, is gradually resolving.
 

Susanlynn, I too love the shout out to Mads. Decided to take a break at 2:00 and headed down to Starbucks and got one for myself, with sprinkles. Made me smile and tear up a little at the same time.

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.

David – Yes! Pedro especially would have some ‘splainin’ to do after that swim. Denim jeans take forever to dry.

"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'?

 

Diva! Mi Capitana e sorellina mia! Grazie! Mille grazie! I have added your explanation as an addendum to the recap. That screw up is pretty bad and I think it's important to know Pedro had a right to be pissed.

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!
 

Lila - Do you watch Jane The Virgin? Jaime Camil is a hoot on it, as her bio-dad. I watch it to see him speak English and ham it up.
 

Gracias, Lila! Busy day and I only caught the fair and the kiss last night. This was a wonderfully funny recap. Many thanks for keeping me in the loop so I don't miss the important events of the story.
 

Doris! No, I haven't seen it! I'll have to check hulu and hope my saying it doesn't jinx it and they take it off. Love that man! Thank you!

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 recap three shows.

I think I forgot to mention that I liked the kiss. But it's maybe a 7. 7.5 if I'm generous.
 

Hmm... that beso probably requires further study, Sara. Re-watch that scene as well as Pedro's rippling muscles scene as he brushed the horse. Then go back to Sombra and watch OUR GUY brushing Solitario. Then take two aspirin and call me in the morning. Dr. Judy
 

Wow, Sara! You go girl! Thou art a Patio stalwart! Mille Grazie!
 

I just went back and read the recap of CI #59 and comments. I must apologize go CARLOS who wrote the recap. I slaughtered his name. Called him Catols, Carol, never did get Carlos right. Lo Siento Carlos.

I digress, am loving Muchacha Italiana and the company of the patio.
 

Judy- Lordy! Now is not the time to remind me of Eman brushing Solitatio shirtless, followed by those scorching kisses with Lola as they got all wet and rolled in the hay (literally). Yowza! Pedro has potential. But he's not there yet.
 

Doris--I agree that Lila should tune into Jane the Virgin when it returns. I missed the first and last few episodes of the first season. It is a good show , and Jaime is funny.
 

Welcome back, Vivi. I hope that you had a wonderful vacation.
 

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.

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.
 

My memory is fuzzy. Is the bad kissing all on Pedro? What percentage falls on Livia?
 

Sara--I think that the Pedro half of that kiss was lacking. It made me feel uncomfortable. He did not seem to be all in and enjoying it. It looked so odd . I felt sorry for the actress as opposed to the scenes with the good kissers that make you think---wow, whatta kisser.jmho
 

Whoa! Had to take a nap! Phew!


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!
 

Can't wait to hear your thoughts upon a second viewing, Lila!
 

Considering how resistant Sarita was for so long.... and one could hardly blame her. Pablo Montero should never have 5 o'clock shadow.

Love the comment about Sonia's aggressive cleavage. That is one for the sidebar.
 

Those boobs seem to have a life of their own, UA. No matter where's she's standing, they always seem to be under somebody's nose, and certainly well within reach!
 

Okay. Now. I'm not a whippersnapper with raging hormones, though I do remember those days, but I think the younguns ought to get credit for having the first kiss in the water, which I bet wuttin all that warm. I'm sure that with the aforementioned hormone thing, they didn't notice the water at all.

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!
 

Marla, we try not to get into anything that hasn't been mentioned on the show. We have no way of knowing whether that's going to turn out to be a significant reveal or just a detail they didn't bother to tell us. If it's important, they'll get around to it eventually.
 

Ok sorry I promise to not mention nothing that happens in the novela.
 

Buss isn't too far off from beso. It might have evolved from some olde common language.
 

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/beso

Here it is. Beso evolves from the same Latin word as buss.
 

Vi amo tutti! I love y'all! See how educational the board is! Grazie!
 

Yeah baby you seeing double, LOL, I don't know what I was thinkin. I might was thinkin it disappeared. Thats what I get for writting and working. I like the first one better tho.
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.
 

LILA, girl, we might have to just start our own little "first kiss" table on the patio. I mean, Pedro and Fiorella's. :o)

J in O
