Anywho, see y'all in the morning!
I'm hating this sexual harassment of Fiorella by Anibal and that Fed is adding more fuel to the fire with the ring. I guess this will be the first test of Pedro's love to see if he believes the worst of Fi, or if he continues to trust her.
I love that Pedro was certain Fi visited and remembered what he said, and said it again.
Glad we have confirmation that Gael and Osvaldo are brothers, so that cuts missing family members down to one-- their father, who must have been Eloisa and Max's son. Now we just need to find out what happened to him and his wife, and why both of their sons are so screwed up. Hate that Gael backed up Osvaldo and lied that he saw Os stumble and accidentally shoot Pedro.
Anyone else surprised to hear Gael call Osvaldo his brother? We had speculated on it but these two have certainly given no indication of even being related other than being under the same roof. I can't even remember them even really talking to each other! They've done a good job portraying the emotional disconnect and lack of affection in this group. The closest thing to familial love I've seen, other than Granny for Pedro, is Sergio for Pedro.
Okay. Y'all sleeping in this morning. It's cool! It's raining here so I'm going back to the sack to enjoy it myself.
Ci vediamo tutti più tardi! See y'all later!
Yes! Who is Osvaldo and Gael's father? They are playing this very close. Well done! Grazie, Vivi!
;D
This is #24 & 25 gutted. I am really hating this.
There was some stuff missing with phone calls with Dante and Federica, but no new news there, also a little sister-talk between Gia and Fiorella. The main missing element was the happenings at La Dolce Vita and the aftertalk:
Reynaldo and Adele (out of apron for a change) went to La Dolce Vita where they were graciously greeted by Vittorio, who kissed Adele's hand. She kissed him back on the cheek, but he had Diana give them the best table in the house. In a later scene Adele summoned Diana to the table in a manner that can only be called naca and tricked her by asking "How is your sister, Lucia?" When she answered "Very well, thank you" Adele knew that the whole thing about the baby being "Susanna"'s child was a mentira. Later at home Adele and Reynaldo talked about this and he was basically telling her that this was none of their business. In the next scene Diana and Vittorio had some wine after close of business and a conversation about how busy the place was that evening. Also that they were leaving together. He almost said something about Fiorella.
So I think we can expect that they will finally be facia a facia muy pronto.
I always twitch when the writers have people screaming undying love right at the start after only a couple meetings and maybe one major kiss session. I guess it's good for the story, but it starts everything to me at just too unbelievable of a level then when they have their "I don't believe you" or "you deceived me" moments. Love someone THAT much, where's the trust??? Ok, rant over.
So we're all probably figuring that the ring will make trouble, especially with Fi and her "mother", not just Pedro. Have to throw a monkey wrench into that as well.
And I don't think Fi is the assistant...I think it's going to Aitana flounce her little butt into the household and Grammie is going to be all about pushing the two together.
And can I say I just want to slap Eloisa silly. Nothing makes me more insane than when you hear someone tell a young man or woman they have to find someone fast so grandchildren can be produced. It's like I'll find you someone fast who you sort of get along with and now go at it. Hello, cute little grandchildren grow up. And in that environment?? Poor little thing.
Really Gael? Brotherly love or being stupid. And Roxy--WTH??
Have to say, if they slice and dice he Vitto/Diane stuff out, I will be more than happy. Those two together are something I can do without.
Have fun Vivi! I'm with you on the having to clean after a trip. Don't you wish somehow it would just do it to itself while we are gone?
Daisynjay
And agree, faccia a faccia è in arrivo molto presto! OMG! Grazie for the link, Urban! Mille grazie! This is going to accompany me during MY Saturday housework and it's even called La Dolce Vita!
"rank skank", "I’m sorry Aitana fans, this chick does NOT look kosher to me, nor very pretty. Recapper’s priveledge to diss the competition" and "Fiorella sweeps the gathering with a questioning look" were but a few of my favorites.
I was confused as to why no one told Sergio of the shooting. I was pleasantly surprised he relieved Dante of his gate keeping duties and allowed Fiorella to enter Pedro’s room! He is foolish but not without hope.
Gattorno portrays Anibal’s sliminess perfectly. When he plays a good character, you love him. When he doesn’t…well, you know.
UA, thanks for filling in what we missed. I'm not sure I've ever seen episodes being chopped this early on. It's a shame as we are likely losing crucial details that may be missing puzzle parts later on.
I was also disappointed Gael chose to shield Osvaldo by lying about what happened.
Freddie seems to be the cleverest villain here and certainly the most dangerous.
Continuing to enjoy Pedro and Fiorella although the hidden jewel will likely thwart any progression in their romance promptly.
Lila, thank you!
Diana
Okay, you and Vivi also see, like me, that it must be Aitana who will be the assistant. I see you're also on the same page with Roxi=WTH?? I still don't know what that little scene with Gael meant. I wish he would leave that wench alone and get to know Gigi, who is wasting her time with stupid Benny though Benny may be around just in time to break up a more serious attempt at assault by the slimy Anibal (too many balls, if you ask me!)
Well, I am starting to like Serg. He may be a Playboy Peter Pan, but he seems to love his son, and he does not seem malicious like many (most) of these people.
So..enter more competition for poor Fi...the pretty Aitana. The chicks all want pretty Pedro.
Feddy found her freakin' hat, so here we go. Most of her time seems to be spent putting together avant garde outfits, collecting hats, and slithgeriung around that mansion making mischief.
Well, we are off for breakfast with friends...then a birthday party...then grocery schooling..then essays to correct. 84 today, but the temps will droop into the 70s thus week. Hello Fall.
Diana, I am enjoying Pedro and Fiorella as well. There is so much sliminess, skankiness and sneakiness going on and apparently there is NO appealing side romance (Gael and Gigi could be but she wants Benni; Diana lost me by "killing" her own son to snag Mr. Got Rocks) -- heck, we don't have a side romance at all so let them allow Pedro and Fiorella to fiercely love each other amidst the madness! We gotta have some lovin'!
Have fun at breakfast and the birthday party and when you get back, tell me how do "school groceries"? ;D
And totally with you on the "recapper's privilege to diss the competition". Something about Aitana's mouth and bright red lipstick look predatory.We're dealing with aggressive cleavage, predatory lips, and slimy sneakiness on the part of Federicka. I hate these middle parts where there is so much ugly scheming. I always want to jump right into Happy Ever After Land. I do love Señor Pietro and Fiorella together. So sweet.
Got a kick out of Detective Dude. He does look workmanlike and serious. And as baffled with you about the Gael/Roxana scene. Boring and pointless. If they're cutting out scenes, why leave that one in? The Diana/Vittorio scenes seem more germane to the intrigue.
Intrigued by the phrase Eloisa used with Juliana about infidelity. "Es come te cambien el plato y que te dejen la mosca." What an image! Hope I don't have occasion to use that one any time soon.
Thanks as always Lila, for your hard work. And Vivi, what a trooper, welcoming a house guest after just getting back from a long trip. You have the gift of hospitality and friendship m'dear. May it ever be thus. Looking forward to spending some time with your pics from Brazil.
Oh my yes, the profession of undying love within the primeras semanas . . . more like infatuation … and the Patio has to suffer (because we HAVE to watch-LOL) for the next (how-many?) months. What I liked about Amores Verdaderos was that it took a while for the protags’ relationship to develop. It had a semblance of reality.
"recapper's privilege to diss the competition" – LOL!
Of course Eloisa’s personal assistant will be Aitana – she of the untrustworthy-looking hair, eyes and clothes. No me cae bien.
Susanlynn - LOL I truly believe your tablet’s auto-correct/spell check is your mortal enema.
Eloisa won’t be so fond of Fiorella when she learns that Pedro is in love Fi.
Doris! Hey, girl! Grazie! Ok, thanks Doris, maybe the only one thinking Fifi will be the personal assistant is Pedro or maybe he wasn't thinking that at all, but got all squishy and goofy-eyed just at the sight of his beloved! Oh, what love can do for the eyes, for the smile, for the whole countenance! Pedro is smitten! You are right about Eloisa falling out of infatuation with Fiorella when she learns that Pedro is in love with her and all hands are on deck to make it so as I mentioned earlier: Sonia/Osvaldo; Dante/Freddie and Anibal and Benni as "independent agents." Now, with Eloisa, if Fiorella sees any hidden darkness or secrets within Aitana, she will definitely call it out and that could cause Eloisa to look differently at Aitana.
Now, we don't know how Aitana got along with Freddie, Roxi and Sonia. We will soon find out but I see her siding with the Vulturettes. The ring WILL cause problems and Fifi will be painted as a cheap trick making a little money on the side by sleeping with the master. That will turn Julieta against her. If Fiorella and Vitto finally meet, HE may make a stink about her having promised to marry him and then stiffed him once she and her sister got to Mexico. This won't look good either. I just hope we don't spend the majority of this thing with Pedro being convinced he didn't really know Fifi, treating her with scowling disdain while he grins and bears it through a loveless relationship with Aitana!
No! I'm scaring myself!
Who are her (and Gigi's) allies in the house? Simoneta, Benny, and Sergio, I think for sure. Gael could be but he's under some kind of Roxi spell. Joaquina has that mother bear thing going for Roxi, who treats her like what bears leave in the woods, but she would take Roxi's part in a heart beat.
Ok. I need to go do housework stuff.
But that would be logical and that never happens in TN's. Sad face :(
Note: for our latest change on the dart boards, I couldn't resist and there is a nice big blowup of Freddy in the god-awful 60's cap look. Have at it all! A nice glass of Piedmont Moscato offered with every.
Daisynjay
This would probably not be a problem unless Anibal, Julietta, Federica, Sonia, or Rox found out. Any one of them would pay a bribe to get rid of our italianas.
True, she should locate Vittorio and let him have it for deceiving her into thinking he was 35 when he's actually 75. He does owe her because he's paying back a debt to her father.
"RPC of Roxi and Beni at the sauna." It bugs me so much that she treats it like a tanning booth...do the writers not understand the concept of a sauna?
"Osvaldo doesn’t want Eloisa to know what happened! She’ll kick him out of the company, she’ll never forgive him!" There was something deliciously amusing about a grown man saying "Please don't tell grandma I shot you!"
"Granny declares that they will work together to make it so." Ugh. That's all I have to say about this and about Aitana. Ugh.
"Sergio gains points with Recapper!" I'm with you on that. I liked him pulling rank with Dante.
"I admit to not knowing what this next scene with Roxi and Gael is about." I was under the impression Gael needed to talk to somebody about knowing his brother's a big lying liar who shot Pedro on purpose...but why pick Roxi?!
Who all is on the dart board, Daisy?
I was under the impression Gael needed to talk to somebody about knowing his brother's a big lying liar who shot Pedro on purpose...but why pick Roxi?!
Thanks for this, Diva! I totally didn't get this. I guess he didn't go to Sergio I guess because Sergio would NOT keep it under wraps and what. . .would Granny throw him (Gael) out because of the sins of Osvaldo?
What was up with that scarf wrapped around Fedrica's head. And that hat, later on? Her head-wear is a bit much. Perhaps they are her antifashion telenovela beanie hats!
Thanks for the recap!
;D
Lila, I swear, I seriously considered re-decorating the patio with dart boards on all the walls. This TN seems ripe with people I would like to throw a few darts at. Freddy is just too darn perfect to keep updating with the latest of her "fashionable" looks. Roxy is still up there because, well, she's Roxy. I honestly, on the third, which had been empty, I think Anibal seems a great candidate after that ring move. Thoughts?
Daisynjay
Have I misunderstood something about consanguinity in this household? Isn't Gael Roxy's nephew? Yet isn't he interested in her in a girlfriend-boyfriend way?
I seems to me that in this household, you win the right to have a longer hem length by being with the family longer. Thus Fi has a mid thigh-length dress, while Joaquina has a knee length dress - kind of like hash marks on the left sleeve of an old naval Chief Petty Officer.
Don't understand Gael's reasoning for lying about Osvaldo's murder attempt. Shooting Pedro is just another example of this character's impulsive bad judgment.
Yeah, Aitana is surely going to be Eloisa's personal assistant.
We've got Dexter, the 9mo brother of the twins over. He has recently learned to army crawl, and so has become a rug rocket.
Thanks again, Lila. You always light up our weekends.
David
I'm totally with you on Gael's pursuit of Roxy! They are CLOSE blood but what is the cover story in the Angeles household on Roxy? Is she supposed to be an abandoned orphan that Maximo found on his door step such that Gael doesn't know that she really is his Granpop Maximo's daughter? Gael's covering for Osvaldo does fit in with his pursuit of Roxy. Maybe they're trying to tell us that his brains are like the egg in the frying pan, you know, with his past and all.
Love your observation on hemlines! Yes, the young 'uns have to earn a modest hemline. Now, Simoneta is younger than Quina but you probably also earn a modest hemline if you're a "full-figured" gal!
Awww, Dexter sounds like a complete, and busy, darling!
Grazie, David!
Thanks Vivi for your insight on Gael and Roxy. When it comes to sorting out familial relationships, my thoughts always go to "wonder if Vivi has figures things out yet." What would do without you????
So it's possible Roxy is a lame duck family member. Maybe not related in blood at all to anyone? If she is, being it would be Max, then I still get an ICK vibe with Gael, unless he is privy to the truth and knows she is open season. Could explain Eloisa's not real interest in her if she knows she is the spawn of Max and the Maid (sorry mind went blank.) It's still an ick with Gael...unless....Gael is NOT Max's son and Eloisa had a fling. So no relation? Ok...giving myself a headache again. I hate when cousins or near relations in these things start are being paired. You know it's usually a ruse to have someone find out their parents are not who they thought they are.
Daisynjay
Gabriel = father of Federica
Unidentified 3rd son = father of Osvaldo & Gael
So when did Gabriel die or disappear? What happened to his wife? And what of the third brother and his wife? And who is responsible for Rox being a bratzilla? If she is the daughter of Maximo she is the aunt of all the above adults who are older than she is, which is both weird and -- in this context -- creepy. It would certainly freak them all out.
And does Eloisa know? I'm not sure about that.
We also need to know more about what happened to Julieta's missing child. If Fiorella is that child there has to be a hell of a story about how Mario came to become her father.
http://foro.telenovela-world.com/~diane/muchachaitaliana/Cast.htm
The characters are listed 3 ways, go to the bottom for the character descriptions.
Urban- Gabriel was Max's brother, not his son. That's why Federica is Max and Eloisa's niece, not their grandchild. Fed's problem with Max and Eloisa is because she believes Max stole her father's (his bother's) wealth/company/inheritance.
Gael went to Roxi because he likes her and they've been on the chopping block together in front of Eloisa a lot lately. I think that whole scene with her was to highlight for him and the audience that she's selfish, doesn't care about him and is not the right fit. In stands in direct contrast with the two short convos he's had with Gianna in which she, practically a stranger, expresses interest in his dreams and goals while Roxi is vocal about not caring a fig about his deep emotional turmoil.
Yeah, they in no way indicated that Gael and Osvaldo were brothers. When did they even decide that in the writing room because it seems like they hooked them together months into the plot.
. . .the two short convos he's had with Gianna in which she, practically a stranger, expresses interest in his dreams and goals while Roxi is vocal about not caring a fig about his deep emotional turmoil.
So YES!! Gael and Gigi and Benny can have Roxy! And agree about Gael and Osvaldo: them being brothers DOES seem like an after thought. I guess I gave them credit for trying to depict how disjointed the family is. Well, we shall see how this all shakes out!
I don't think fio is the asst either, it could be aitana,
That could prove troublesome for pedro & fio.
He just declared his love to fiorella and here
Comes the ex, O joy, or O hell. And the comp
Begins. I wonder how granny will feel when
Pedro tells her he loves fiorella, that might not Sit well with the ol girl, cause she thinks the world of goldy locks. O pedro, good luck buddy.
I hate that freddy is being a very bad hat girl.
Why does julieta hate italians? don't she know The one at fault is her over sexed hubby? Is That a wig hes wearing? Hes not as good lookin as he thinks. What I really hate about this guy is he thinks because a woman is a maid she'll want to fool around with a rich Family member. Maybe that happened in the Pass, but this maid wants nothing to do with Him. I can't stand men that think like that. This guy is slimmy. How can his wife stand him?!?!
I agree about that after thought thing with gael and ossy. He said he wasn't important as his brother or something like that when he
Was talkin to gigi a while back. Sounds like he wasn't planned, so when mommy got
Pregnant she just went with it. And the fun
Filled drama cotinues.........
Realized I was wrong and that there was a 2nd son of Eloisa. Still want to know how Gabriel died.
Thank you for the recap Lila. I like your comments folks especially those on Osvaldo and Gael. These two are like water and oil that cannot be mixed, such opposite poles. That is why they don't hang along even though they are brothers. Osvaldo is so selfish, ambitious, and envious and doesn't care for anything or anybody but himself. Gael is a sweet and romantic guy but he has a big problem letting people manipulate him especially Osvaldo.
David
I know it happens but parents or grand parents involvement in the romantic life of adult children crosses all kinds of boundaries. Eloise does everything for Eloise.
Okay, dismounting the soap box. Grazie, Tofie!
And when that comes to light I hope Fiorella gives her what for. Not for giving her up for adoption because Mario and his late wife loved her but for her snobbish ways and hateful attitudes.
Gonna Look like one of those strangely mingled and priceless paintings that looks
Like a 2 year old and a puppy fought over a crayon. Thats the Angeles family portrait.
