Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #9 Fri 9/4/15 (Mex 10) Strangers in Paradise?
Once she gets his dirty drift, Fifi tells Fabio off! How dare he! She wouldn’t go with him for a million Euros! She makes him get up and leave her table! Lordo! (Gross) Maleducato! (Rude)
Sergio and Julieta advocate for Roxana but Granny stands
firm. Roxana has gone too far: trying to
seduce Gael, she dresses like a tramp; she made a drunken fool of herself in
front of the prospective business associates and disrespects her in her own house!
In an adjoining room, Federica, who helped fan the flames of
this fire with the picture she posted of Gael helping Roxana with her button,
suggests Gael go to defend Roxana.
Granny Eloisa likes a firm and decisive man, like Pedro.
It will earn him brownie points!
Gael goes right to the task.
Granny ain’t having it and asks Gael if he has a cognitive
disability: No second chances! Roxana is through. Just then Roxana rolls into the living room
with her suitcases and is still flippant until Granny tells her that her credit
cards will be cancelled! Roxana can’t
believe it. Granny doesn’t care and
wishes her luck in her new life. Maybe
she can get a job being a stripper! This
finally wipes the smirk off Roxy’s face.
Gael, Sergio, Osvaldo, Sonia and Julieta look on helplessly as Roxy
leaves. Sergio thinks they should’ve
tried harder.
Pedro tells Joaquina and Simona (the maids at El Rancho) about Fifi and Gigi. Simona is worried she’ll be fired. No, no.
There are just more people in the Rancho now and this will be extra
help. Only one of them will work as the
other has a heart condition. He instructs
them to set the girls up in the employee’s quarters in a room with lots of sunlight
and fresh air and to be absolutely discreet.
He doesn’t want anyone in the family to know they have arrived. Sergio enters and tells Pedro about Roxy
being put out. Joaquina hears and is
stricken. Pedro hurries out to the front
yard where Roxy waits for a taxi. Wah! Wah!
Wah! Roxy knew that as soon as
Maximo died, no one would give a fig for her!
[Paternity Alert!] She’s just poor lil ole orphan Roxy! Pedro tells Roxy he will help her, but she
has to help him as well. She throws her
arms around his neck and presses herself against him enthusiastically! Pedro breaks the embrace with a weird look and
tells her to go with Joaquina to one of the guest rooms and not to leave until
he tells her to. Roxy switches from
grateful to witch as she tosses her head leaving Joaquina to bring all her
bags.
Fifi and Gigi are leaving the little hotel Pedro set them up
in this sunny morning but they are stopped by the clerk. There’s a little matter of the bill.
Meanwhile, Pedro and Fidel wait in the plaza where he agreed
to meet Fifi the day before. Wondering
why they are late, Pedro sends Fidel to the hotel to see what the holdup
is. A police car whizzes by, lights and sirens
blaring!
Hoo boy! The girls go back and forth with the clerk
with protests of ignorance and surprise and indignation that the food in the mini fridge, and the
room service and the breakfast buffet weren’t all included! The clerk stands firm but the girls are
finally released when another employee, knowing they were guests of Pedro Los
Angeles, let’s them go. They scurry
away, grab a taxi and off they go! Fidel
arrives at the hotel, not having seen them leave.
Vitto meets with the Private Investigator, Zacharias, and
Benito hangs around to throw monkey wrenches as usual. Vitto wonders what happened; Benito thinks he
should let it go: it is clear Fiorella
changed her mind! As Zacharias and Vitto strategize, Adela approaches their table.
She has something to tell Vitto.
Fidel calls Pedro and tells him the girls just left. Pedro overhears a conversation from a patron
who has just arrived at the little bistro where he sits and what he has to say
is disturbing: There was an accident on
the freeway on the way to Two Rivers involving two foreign girls in a taxi; they were sisters staying at a nearby
hotel. One of them died in the
accident! Pedro calls Fidel and asks him
to see what he can find out. Pedro heads
back to El Rancho!
Adela tells Vitto that the whole time the girls were at her
house, Fiorella was looking for him. She
lost his contact information. Benito comes
up and tries to derail the conversation but Adela continues. She thinks Fifi is looking for him. She thinks he should know the truth; she
doesn’t want him to have a bad impression of a good girl. Vitto thanks Adela who asks if she can have
their bread. Sure, sure! Benito has successfully infected Vitto’s
mind. He doesn’t believe Adela’s story
and thinks Fifi got cold feet!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch [YES! I said it!], Pedro asks Simona if anyone was
looking for him. Simona answers no and
thanks herself on Pedro’s behalf after he has walked away. [Hee hee!]
He checks in with Fidel: no news,
no names, no nationalities of the victims.
Okay. There’s no
other way to say it. Roxana is a
BITCH! Roxana wants to leave the room, Joaquina
gently persuades her not too. Roxana
yells at Joaquina, calls her a “gata” and to get out! She doesn’t need anything from her! [It’s just two weeks and I’m ready for this heffa to get
her anvil!]
Fidel calls Benito by phone and tries to get information on
the girls. He tells Benito about the
accident and now Benito is stricken.
Adela enters the room.
Again, at El Rancho, Sergio is relaxing with a beer. Osvaldo, Sonia, Federico and Gael are all
assembled, doing nothing as usual.
Julieta is there as well and Pedro.
Eloisa insults them, telling them they are all like some things in life
that are terrible and inevitable, like the ebola virus! In the next breath she asks Pedro to
accompany her to mass. Before you
know it, everybody is grinning like a cat eating a yellow jacket and insisting they go
along. Federica mocks their sudden
piety. Eloisa says they can all come
along but she hopes a lightning bolt doesn’t strike the church! Sergio says never fear; he’ll be there to
protect her. Julieta also offers to go
and reminds Eloisa of how she used to go to church with her and her mother when
she was a little girl. This gets a smile
and some warmth from Eloisa who says she was going to thank God for allowing
Pedro to be by her side but instead she will pray for strength and patience to
stand them all!
Benito tells his parents he thinks the girls were going to
Two Rivers to look for work. Adela can’t
believe that: it’s so far away and they
would have said something. Benito says
it’s all his fault. They left because he
crossed a line with Fifi. He wanted her
to come live with him. Adela speaks for
us as she exclaims with disbelief that he just met her! Oh, it was an impulse and now because of that
one of them is dead and it’s all his fault!
Adela asks him to be calm. It is
not them. [I hope Benito is painfully
eaten with guilt for a good number of hours.]
Pedro presses the case for Roxy to stay as he walks arm in
arm with Eloisa up to the church. Eloisa
never could understand why Maximo always spoiled her so much! [Baby Daddy confirmation!] Pedro humorously chides and cajoles her and DING!
DING! DING! DING!
I get the first smile from Pedro who even laughs warmly as they approach
the church doors!
Back at La Dolce Vita Vitto continues to kick himself. Fiorella has found another man and is going
to build a life with him. Benito,
thinking to himself they were victims of the tragic accident, argues that he
doesn’t think that’s what happened.
Vitto notices his somewhat glum affect and thinks Benito is worried
about him. Vitto tells him he was right
all along; he should have listened to him and even apologizes! NOW.
He shouldn’t have invested a single cent in that ungrateful scam
artist. He vows to find her and make her
pay! NOBODY messes with Vittorio
Dragone!
During mass we listen in on the heartfelt thoughts of each
Angeles family member and let’s just say they are NOT filled with the Holy
Spirit!
Sonia: Ever since I
joined this family, people have treated me with respect and admiration because
I married an Angeles.
Federica: The things
I have to put up with just to get back what is rightfully mine!
Gael (on his phone):
#bored
Eloisa: I know I have
serious sins to be forgiven for; to pay for, but asking me to put up with this
family and sharing the benefits that Maximo left for me and on top of that
having to put up with that insufferable Roxana. . .BAH!
Sergio: (Leaning out,
removing his shades and checking out a bodacious babe who comes up the aisle,
crosses herself and takes a seat in one of the pews across from his) My, how the Lascurian daughter has grown
up! I’ll be sure to say hello to her
after mass!
Julieta: While I am
here, my husband is probably with some other woman. Oh God, how unfair it all is!
Osvaldo: (With an
unholy scowl on his face) What else do I
have to do to please Grandma. I’m tired
of this! Nothing I say or do is good
enough while all she does is praise Pedro! I
don’t know who I dislike more: her or
Pedro! That imbecile pretending to pray
when he’s probably really thinking of all the millions he’ll get for being
favored in Grandpa’s will!
Pedro: Oh God, please
don’t let the Italian girls be the ones in the accident! Don’t let Fiorella or her sister die. I couldn’t bear to have that death on my
conscience for the rest of my life.
First Tania, and now one of the girls.
Dante sees Fifi and Gigi at the house from a distance and
thinks they’re burglars. At first the door is open but then closes and
the girls are locked out. Dante gathers
another employee, someone he calls "Russian" and several others and they rush
towards the house on horseback with barking dogs leading the charge.
The group arrives back from mass and before Pedro can
prepare Granny, Roxy comes down the stairs, interrupts an eleventh hour plea from
Gael and resumes her bitchiness. She
promises to do her best to put up with Granny and to that end Granny should
turn her credit cards back on so she won’t have to be bugging her for
money. And off she flounces, smirk
firmly back in place. [Okay heffa. Next time you gettin’ the hell RPC’d outta
you!]
Fidel asks Dante what’s up.
There are intruders on the property.
Dante won’t tell Fidel anything about the suspects, warns him he’d
better not tell Eloisa anything until he has everything under control and rides
away brusquely.
Gael tries to welcome Roxy back to El Rancho. She won, no thanks to him! Only the strong and not stupid will survive
at El Rancho! She bitches him out and
puts him out.
Eloisa tells Pedro she can’t believe he talked her into
letting that stupid Roxy back. He’s just
like Maximo, able to get her to do things against her will! Pedro thinks it will get easier with time and
she mustn’t let Roxy embitter her! She’ll
live there for some time but under Granny’s rules! Eloisa is glad Pedro is by her side. He is her moral compass just like Maximo
though she must admit, right now Maximo has her totally lost! They gush about
their mutual affection. Eloisa goes off
to the kitchen. Fidel comes in. No news about the wreck but Dante said there
were trespassers on the property and he thinks it must be Fifi and Gigi. Pedro asks Fidel to find out. Sergio overhears Pedro talking to Fidel about
girls and is intrigued.
The girls hide in the stables. Gigi clutches her chest and says Fifi
promised to take her to paradise, but this is hell! [Methinks she ain’t seen nothin’ yet!] Pedro is acting strange, he sent them to a
hotel, he didn’t meet them in the plaza and now he doesn’t even receive
them! Fifi thinks it’s logical. Surely she couldn’t have expected the Welcome
Wagon, but Fifi has to agree. Nobody
knows they are there: it must be his
Grandmother!
Sergio tries to pump Pedro for information and pull his
chain about never being interested in girls.
Does he have a new girlfriend, or two, or three? It ends in Sergio remarking sarcastically
that Pedro treats him as if HE were the son, instead of the father. Well, Pedro wouldn’t have to if Sergio had
assumed HIS role as father. Pedro leaves
Sergio to ponder.
Eloisa chews out Sonia in front of Simona, Federica, Roxy
and Julieta for arriving late for meals.
She is rude and inconsiderate!
Sonia apologizes, it was just a slight delay.
Eloisa: Let me remind
you that it all started with a “slight delay.”
Sonia: I don’t
understand.
Eloisa: You said you
were pregnant by Osvaldo to get your way and once you were married and had what
you wanted and were a part of this family, you lost the baby. How convenient! Do you understand me now?
Sonia: (Looking
shocked and her face beginning to crumble into tears) The death of my baby was horrible!
Eloisa: (Her face is
a cold question mark) Really?
Sonia runs out of the room.
Federica, who looks amused, sits next to Julieta whose face reflects
Sonia’s pain. Julieta tells Eloisa she
shouldn’t treat Sonia this way; it’s a terrible thing to lose one’s baby or to
have to get rid of it, no matter what the reason. This gets Federica’s attention. Why does Sonia say that? Nothing special, it’s logical, it makes
sense.
The dogs and men approach the stables! Fifi and Gigi duck down and then open the
door to let the horse out, probably as a distraction, and then they leave,
running through the sparse tree line.
Gigi collapses and Dante catches up to her as the other men with Shepherds and Rottweilers
approach. Dante looks down menacingly on
Gianna as Fiorella watches, alarmed, from a distance!

Gee LILA I love it when you get all fired up! Tonight's recap was real sparkler!
Hilarious great recap Lila, thanks so much!
Gianna had her usual heart symptoms, triggered by racing madly through the woods [Drink!]. Get a clue about cause and effect, girl!
I'm wanting to sneak over to Pedro's table on the Patio. Maybe the writers are loosening up on the poor guy, but he is seeming a little more human. I like the "greedy-relatives-show-up-for-the-reading-of-the-will" trope, and someone already mentioned this feels like a stage play. It's got a cozy feel.

J in O! Representing the WEST SIDE! Hey, girl! Thank you! I like Pedro more everyday and my anger at Fifi has dissapated. Benito, not so much. I know we're supposed to believe he loves Fifi. Okay. For the sake of the show, I'll go with it so now he's worried again because Don Vitto has vowed vengeance on the hapless girls!
I don't get why Pedro is still so secretive about the girls when Granny E gave her permission for him to help the "daughters of the former employee"?
Loved the church scene! And Pedro actually WAS praying for Fifi and Gigi! Awwwww! Granny is killing me. I think we should laugh at all her zingers to the vultures like Julieta did when she made the ebola comment. Now, somebody who's NOT funny is Roxy! Ooooh! Sara! Please come and punch her in the throat!
Thanks J, and thanks for checking in so early!

Oh, man, Lila, you were served up with a rollicking episode and you really smacked it out of the park!
I don't know where to start!
I loved the inner thoughts of the "worshipers" during Mass.
I loved Roxy flouncing her skinny butt around the Rancho.
I loved Sergio the horndog remaining true to his calling.
I loved finding out that Sonia wheedled her way into the family because of a "slight delay."
Were I Eloisa, I would be equally non-plussed at having this disparate array of low hanging fruit pickers foisted on me by the whims of my dead spouse.
Benito. Let him sweat for a while.
So, some serious events are unfolding, but there is enough comic relief to keep this snowball from hell rolling down the hill and collecting various forms of debris as it gets larger and more dangerous.
Unforgivable moment: Roxy said "GATA!" I had a PTSD moment.
Thanks again Lila.
David

Thanks, Lila! Haven't had a chance to read or watch yet. Looking forward to both. I always enjoy your take on things.
DAVID-PTSD moment induced by GATA. Almost choked on my coffee.
DAVID-PTSD moment induced by GATA. Almost choked on my coffee.
Oh my Lila. Parking the coffee...this recap was hysterical. (much funnier than the actual episode!) Have to admit, this show is fodder for some great snark.
I so agree with you on Roxana and wanting to just slap her silly. But what makes watching that character even worse is that actress is just shrill and one note. Maybe it's what was written, but she's a pain to watch in every aspect. ( and that poor boy needs to find a new interest period.)
Few more ice chips off Pedro. Heavens be we got a smile and prayers for the girls. Gettin' there.
But is anyone else sort of getting tired of the hit and misses and misunderstandings on placing the girls into the ranch? I came in late to them trying the side door so was confused. No ringing the bell at the front door...no one home, go around the back and try there....no one answer, sit down somewhere and wait for people to come home?? Did I miss something?
There's a certain level of cluelessness they are putting onto Fifi that is starting to be less than cute. I could buy into clumsy or not knowledgeable about the language or customs, but I don't like the "poor ignorant girl with spirit". Her home in Italy was not the back woods or a garbage dump. First time, funny, then sort of cute now, stop it and just get them at the Ranch and working.
Church scene was funny. Honestly, that's probably what goes on most of the time. I want to know Eloisa great past sins!!!

Hey, David! Buongiorno y mille grazie fratello! David, I HAD to put in the inner thoughts! It's so rich and really sets us up to see where everybody is coming from as this romp begins in earnest!
I love everything you love and LOVE this:
Were I Eloisa, I would be equally non-plussed at having this disparate array of low hanging fruit pickers foisted on me by the whims of my dead spouse.
Esso è delizioso, David! That's just delicious! ITA on Benito, of course!
Unforgivable moment: Roxy said "GATA!" I had a PTSD moment. Hee Hee! Like me with the mimes the other day!

Hey, Sara, mia sorella! Grazie, see you later, hon!
Daisynjay! Mille grazie, amica mia! Yes, Daisy! You hit it, Roxy has a nail on the chalkboard quality, doesn't she?! Gael, honey, you don't know how beautiful you are, probably your soul as well as your face. Run from Roxy! Run!
But is anyone else sort of getting tired of the hit and misses and misunderstandings on placing the girls into the ranch?
Yaaaaaas! [Raising and waving my hand!] Yah, just get 'em into the ranch, already! There will be MANY opportunities for miscues and hijinks. Can you see her with Roxana or Federica? Roxana will be upfront bitchy and we know Federica will be more sneaky.
And yes, Daisy! What are Eloisa's past great sins? If Roxy is Maximo's daughter by Joaquina (I'm calling it), does she know or even suspect? Seems like not!

Lila - Great recap. Thanks! It was a fun read and hopefully the episode will be as much fun when I watch it.
"Meanwhile, back at the ranch [YES! I said it!]"
LOL!!! Really. That line made me laugh.
I "googled" heart disease + air pollution and apparently the writers know their stuff. There seems to be a correlation between heart disease and bad air. So the girls going to the country a/k/a the farm does make sense. For once, the writers are more knowledgeable than the medical committee on The Patio. LOL

DAVID: hahaha, I have had more than one queasy flashback on the Patio, reading the words Gata, Pablo, and Venetian Gondolier mimes. Oh how deeply scarred we are by that show! (You know, the one that shall not be named...)

Doris! Mille grazie! I'm always flattered when people read the recap before watching the episode! Please do watch and weigh in again!
Thank you for looking that up on air pollution and heart disease. It DOES make sense, indeed. It's just that the Dr. saying "treatment" made it sound like a discrete medical procedure or something. Well, anywho, they need to get into the rancho already because fear and being chased down by men on horseback and sharped-toothed doggies can't be good for the heart, either!

Lila, mille grazie! Fabulous recap for an episode that made me decide this show is a comedy of errors without the comedy!
"[Paternity Alert!]" Love it!
"Benito hangs around to throw monkey wrenches as usual." Whyyyyyyy, Benito, whyyyyyyyyy?!
"Meanwhile, back at the ranch [YES! I said it!]" High five for that!
"#bored" My favorite reaction. And possibly the only laugh the actual show got out of me today.
"Nothing I say or do is good enough while all she does is praise Pedro!" OK, but reading this is funny because all I can think is "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!"
"Well, Pedro wouldn’t have to if Sergio had assumed HIS role as father." True.
"This gets Federica’s attention." Right there was the moment that, oddly, I really started to like Federica. Oh, she's horrible, but she's smart horrible. Does that make me a bad person? Oh well.
I'll be hiding under the Sympathy for Pedro table with my laptop researching plagiarists for the foreseeable future. *sigh*

Diva! Mia sorella adorata! Mille grazie a te per combattere per noi! Thank you a million for fighting for us with these bleeding plagarists! I have to bite my tongue hard to keep a it civil on this issue! Uuuuuf! We work hard and don't appreciate our work being stolen. I guess I should say this on the other post. Thank you Diva!
Yep. This is a comedy, folks! Caray allows us to add the laugh track to this crazy piece! I'm with you at the Sympathy for Pedro table, amica mia! Mille grazie di nuovo!

The more I thought about, and we do need to let out some frustrations on the patio lately, I've put Roxy on one of the dartboards. Have at it folks!!!
Maybe we can take Pedro down...he seems to be heading towards the light. But if Benito doesn't get his act together, I may put him up instead just to knock some sense into him.

Daisy, capitol idea! Up goes Roxy and make sure she's wearing a midrfit-baring tube top so we can be sure to get darts into her belly button. And Benito! You know I would've had him up there from the second or third episode!
Pedro, vieni di lei e di riposo, tesoro! Pedro, come here and rest, darling!
;D
Pedro, vieni di lei e di riposo, tesoro! Pedro, come here and rest, darling!

thanks, Lila, for another fun filled recap!
I am still confused as to how each of these leeches is related to Grumpy Gram. I appreciated listening in on their "prayers" ..heh..but I still cannot figure out the family dynamics.I guess Bratty McBraterson is the lovechild of dear dead grandad and the maid . I know that Sergio, the horndog is Eloisa's son and Pedro is his son. Who are Fedora, Sonia, and Julieta? Is Anibal Eloisa's son ? Is Gael Eloisa's grandson? If so, who are his parents? Sorry,I am muy confused.

Omigosh, daisynjay! I must have been picking up on your feelings while I watched the episode. By all means, let's take Pedo...digo PedRo off the dart board and put Rox up there. She is annoying to the extreme. What a spoiled brat.
So, I thought that I posted a comment, but I do not see it.
Lila, thanks so much for another fun filled recap of the madness.
I enjoyed listening in on all the "prayers." However, I am lost as to howbasll these sicophants are related to Gram. Bratty McBraterson seems to be the lovechild of the maid and dead departed abuelo. Sergio, the horndog, is Eloisa's son and Pedro is his son . After that I am lost as to the family tree. #lostinspace
It seems that the patio is feeling kinder toward Pedro. When I say "Ped" , you say " ro.". #feelingthefeels

Susanlynn-This is a comment Vivi left last Friday:
This is what I've picked up on the family tree so far of the Ángeles family. Seems that Eloisa and Max must have had at least one child die (missing, locked away somewhere?) to explain the existence of these other grandkids. Which makes me wonder why Eloisa thinks losing her husband is the worse thing that's happened to her. If she lost a child (at least one), shouldn't that be the worse thing? Or is her life only Max and Pedro, and no one else is worth a fig?
Eloisa de Ángeles (widow of Maximo)
Federica Ángeles (daughter of the brother of Maximo/Maximo and Eloisa’s niece)
Sergio Ángeles (son of Maximo and Eloisa/father of Pedro)
Pedro Ángeles (son of Sergio/grandson of Max and Eloisa)
Osvaldo Ángeles (grandson of Max and Eloisa/son of ?)
Sonia de Ángeles (wife of Osvaldo)
Gael Ángeles (grandson of Max and Eloisa/son of ?)
Roxana Ángeles (adopted granddaughter of Max and Eloisa/likely the child of Joaquina the maid—but who are raised her as her parents?)
I've got it in a document. I refer to it often. I still can't keep it straight.

Wow, Sara, thanks for the speedyquick response. That clears things up a bit. I think Oswaldo played a beddie in Querida Enimiga.
Beautiful day here ...80, sunny, breezy. AHHHH.Hope that everyone is pausing from their labors and having a good Labor Day weekend.

Reading now, Lila....This is awesome: "[It’s just two weeks and I’m ready for this heffa to get her anvil!]
Pure recap gold, Lila! Let me also point out these two gems:
"[Baby Daddy confirmation!]"
"[Okay heffa. Next time you gettin’ the hell RPC’d outta you!]"
She's horrible, but I did feel bad for Sonia. She reacted as if she really was pregnant and lost the baby. If that is the case, Eloisa is cruel.

Susanlyn, your comment sounda so nice, you say it twice! ;D Grazie, Sara, for reposting Vivi's comment and this part of it stands out and refers to last night's cat attack by Granny:
Seems that Eloisa and Max must have had at least one child die (missing, locked away somewhere?) to explain the existence of these other grandkids. Which makes me wonder why Eloisa thinks losing her husband is the worse thing that's happened to her. If she lost a child (at least one), shouldn't that be the worse thing?
Did y'all see how coldly Granny responded when Sonia said the loss of her baby hurt her horribly? She was like, "O really?" as if she really had no clue.
Now think to the sins she said she had to pay for. Did she lock away a child. She may be cranky but I can't see her killing anyone, or ordering one of her own family to be killed. Yikes! Let's save this little tidbit!

Sara, sorella mia! Grazie! You know what, Sara, I felt sorry for Sonia, too. I think she really did lose the baby. Granny seems to think she faked a pregnancy. As I said above, how cold could Granny be? And something happened to Julieta as well involving an abortion or a disappeared child, or baby switched at birth or she was told her baby died and it did not. You know, all the things that happen to babies in these stories. Got some juicy stuff coming, I hope!
I, too, am intrigued about Sonia's backstory; seems like Granny really believed Sonia faked the pregnancy to trap Osvaldo into marriage. Lila, I like your speculations, opens up a whole lot of tantalizing possibilities.

I hope they fulfill some of these possibilities: Grannie's, Julieta's, Sonia and Joaquina's backstories, not to mention Sergio and his late wife's story, why Federica wants revenge and who the heck are Osvaldo and Gael's parents? Yah, this could be good.
Lila, love the recap. Girl you put it in the bag.
This is a wild and crazy group of characters.
Granny and pedro got their hands full with this Pack of testosterone maniacs. But granny is on time for them. I love the way pedro loves His grandma he's so sweet to her. She is going to love fiorella. She and pedro may be the only ones. I'm glad fifi and gigi has that fighting spirit, they're going to need it in that house of unfortunates.
I'm really not likein benito, what is his problem with these girls, I don't like how hes
Kept them away from vitto. I don't like benito.
I hope that little girl dosen't have a heart attack. Fiorella needs to stop running here and there and stay put so her sister can get the help she needs. And she need to save her
Strength cause she's gonna have to fight
Those greedy future inlaws. Iam lovein this
Show. I'd like to see more interactions with
Fifi and pedro. That might come next week
With the dogs after them.
This family is full of secrets, can't wait to see them Unfold. Thanks Lila!!!!
HAPPY LABOR DAY PATIO PEEPS!!! :-D

Folk must be away enjoying the Labor Day weekend. I've been off for the last two weeks and on Tuesday, September 8, it's back to *DON DON DON!* the salt mines!
Nina! il mia amica gioiosa! My joyous friend! You said it! A wild and crazy bunch, indeed! I'm going to remember that you predicted that Granny Eloisa would love Fifi. Hopefully, we will see soon! They will both need an ally with that bitchy Roxy around. Frederica is sneaky but I don't think she'll go after the girls with them just being "lowly maids." Just a few catty comments, or she'll ignore them. Though Fifi is hard to ignore.
Oh, Nina, don't you think the girls will have fun with Simoneta? Thank you, Nina, check back in often. Kinda quiet now.

Sitting up in church goin "marcia, marcia, marcia" or in his case, pedro, pedro, pedro!!!!
Hey yall what is the deal with BENITO!!!!!

I am getting caught up watching episodes. Yay! And I'm still figuring out who is whom.
WHAT is up with Adela's hairstyle? QTH??? She looks like a Hasidic Jew that lost his curling iron.
Roy ... er ... Benito's 'Cosmo Kramer' hair is distracting me.
Roxana has a tennis or golfer's tan: tanned legs, white feet. Quite noticeable during her stage exhibition in Thursday's episode. :-)
I will give Sonia a break and say nothing about her singing 'cuz it's light years better than mine. I sing in the key of R. Really.

Doris! I don't know what vibe they're going for with Adela. Is this supposed to be the humble and honest look? Y'all kill me with the fashion reviews. These things seem to go over my head but Adela's hair is impossible to miss!
Doris, I didn't want to be the first one to say it...but Adela's hair is a major distraction. The braids, fine. Bangs, not so much. Can you imagine cooking with those things?

I keep wanting to reach thru my TV screen and give Adela some hair clips for those things.
Wasn't this actress one of Lety's posse in LFMB?

Lila - that might be right. I bailed out halfway thru so my memory is fuzzy. I was spoiled by Betty la Fea.
Okay. I'm caught up. Federica intrigues me. A lot. She is almost always in the background of Eloisa in all the interior house scenes and she always has a smug, cynical, cat-that-swallowed-the-canary look on her face. There's a mystery there and she might be a key player.
Julieta's blue dress and that hair....she could be Elvira's little sister.
Pedro is growing on me. Ack! Did I just say that? Lose the "beard" and he would be hawt.
Why don't any of these people work? (Besides Pedro). They all sit around complaining, sniping at each other, and probably plotting evil deeds. Or wondering if their misdeeds will catch up with them. They aren't worth the buckshot it would take to kill 'me. (old timey southern saying). Granny Clampett would have a field day with that lot.

Hey, Doris! Grazie! Yep. Federica is one cool, observant character. She takes in everything, is biding her time and seems to amuse herself setting Roxy up for falls and commiting other acts of provocation.
I think you're right with your buckshot quip and Granny Eloisa would like that quip, too!

Doris- he look like a "hasidicJew thats lost his curling iron", that is funny. Her hair looks like she started to put it up and her mind just went somewhere else and her hair took off on its own. O shoot, just fire hair and makeup.

Love the comments on Adela's hair. Every time I see her I keep thinking, what is that supposed to be? How can you look in the mirror and think that looks good? Hate when hair and makeup in these things decides that a certain "look" stands for a certain class level. No, just no. She is sweet woman and that look makes her looks backwards and stupid. Shame shame shame.
Absolutely is Roxy in her signature midriff look. Made sure she's sporting one her wide-eyed screechy spoiled looks to help our aim, if you get my drift.
Thanks for re-posting the who's who Sara, and thank Vivi for your, as usual, great observation on the players. I missed a few parts of episodes and was having the same problem. So who's the child these kiddies belong to I wonder. Did Grandma raise them (if so, she's getting no mother of the year) or were the parents around for awhile? Grammie Eloisa is on the fence with me whether she's such a saint herself.
Another warm, but humid day in NE Ohio. Staying close to home today, sitting out on the balcony & watch the Air Show and Thunderbirds doing their thing(who needs tickets)later. Yesterday I was wearing Cat Hat as one flew very low right over my place. Claws digging into scalp is not a pleasant experience, but I understood how scary that noise was to the poor thing. Today, it's outside when the show starts and save my head. Hope everyone has a great day too!

Susanlynn - don't forget to waggle your eyebrows. ;-) My husband has had a full beard since we met. He shaved it once. Never again. That was the longest week of my life.
Daisynjay - WORD since when did working class=crappy hair? If they are going for simple and no fuss then put it in a ponytail (er, just not the swishy kind.) Seriously, in the real world those loose locks would get in the way and be annoying.

Nina - I love your take on Adela's hair. LOL!!!
Susanlynn - We won't be fighting over Pedro on The Patio, unless Pedro shaves that beard. Facial hair never appeals to me and Duck Dynasty did me in.
We will get along famously. :-)
Daisynjay - Oh your poor kitties! Those jets would make me want to jump off the floor. It's 90°F down here, with very little relief this week. The older I get, the less I tolerate the heat of summer.

Can I assume there might be some fighting over Francisco Gattorno? I would like to know who I'm up against.
sara..yeah, I might be in on a little arm wrestling over Gattorno. I like a good looking man who can dance. ..bearded or not.
Hub had a beard from time to time. My mother used to tell him that it made him look like Mephistopheles ...in a good way. He gave it up years ago.
Doris...so you are not interested in Pedro unless he shaves? No arm wrestling for us then.
My favorite telenovio with a beard was Fernando Colunga as Don Luis in Alborada..with Marcelo Cordoba as a close second in the same show. Yummy
Then, there is my current bearded obsession redheaded Jamie Fraser. ..verra, verra manly.

I need a break! What have I missed?
I'm going to have to go with Jose Ron is cute both with and without the beard...but without it he would probably look too boyish to pull off the "serious captain of industry" vibe the character needs.
