Antes muerta que Lichita #24 Friday 10/23/15: Luciana and Augusto keep blackmailing each other with info... Luciana openly, Augusto not so much... Roberto and Alicia are getting some alone time in L.A.

Lichita enjoying the doctor telling Luciana it will take several days for her to get off the rashes…

Nelson comments that she won’t make it (de esta no la libra)

Gumaro (“Tio Gumis”) playing with Mateo in front of Roberto at the orphanage.

Lo Nuevo:

Luciana still can’t stand the itch… whines to the doctor ‘why me?? Why me?? Tell me!! Why me??’ She does admit she has had this many times before … (its obviously an allergic reaction). When Doctor leaves Luciana swears that Lichita and Elsa will pay for having tried to poison her.

Gumaro leaves Mateo and Roberto alone to say goodbyes… Mateo really wants to go to the beach on the trip with Roberto… Roberto says can’t take him now but promises to take him to the beach very soon, will be back in a couple days.

Roberto swears he is working hard so they will be together and have everything they need. Love you. Love you more. More!

Chuchette and Nestor in office are celebrating that Luciana will be gone for a few days, they wish it were a few months. They also talk about who poisoned Luciana… Nelson not ready to write off Lichita…this would prove she is not as dumb as they thought.

Roberto calls Gumaro from airport… tries to make Gumaro promise he won’t get in trouble. Waiting for Luciana to arrive. Gumaro asks for a souvenir, Roberto says not even a keyring.

Roberto hears what sounds like Lichita, not Luciana, arrive. HE is surprised.

Luciana is staring at her mirror mirror saying she is disfigured… Daphne comes in to mock her some more, do you want me to arrange for your funeral or your trip to Patagonia? See what it feels like now? You who mock me on my weight all the time, now you look ugly. Luciana can’t hold back the rebute that she will get over it in a few days, but Daphne won’t. Daphne leaves feeling down in the dumps.

Lichita explains to Roberto that Luciana can’t go with him because she got an allergic reaction. Lichita came to the airport to go with him because of his text message (which Luciana wrote, not him). She is about to leave, but he won’t let her... he winks at her when Luciana calls his cell phone. Roberto asks Lichita if she is sure sure that she had nothing to do with what happened to Luciana. She swears.

Nacho is heading to work… he is sad that he can’t spend as much time with his family. Elsa says tomorrow Saturday we will spend more time together. Nacho is still not sold on Lichita not having to withstand more bullying at the office.


At Los Angeles, CA…

Lichita and Roberto are sitting next to each other… they are at the hotel getting the room(s). the lady asks if they need one or two rooms… LIchita reluctantly says they need DOS!! When the lady leaves they sit back on the same spots, looking very ackward. They review their agenda for the day, which is in Lichita’s cell phone.

Magos is watching the telenovela. The guy jumps on the girl in bed…

In the kitchen, Elsa is doing her numbers… she gets happy about how much money she made on first day. Ximena is cheering her up… but Magos comes by and spoils the good mood.

Bea calls the saint virgins when she sees Luciana… of course Luciana changes the target of conversation to Daphne and suggests to Bea that she and ‘mi tiito’ should send Daphne to a nun internship school so she could get the right education. Bea promises she will talk to Augusto about it. Then she basically makes Luciana get on her knees and pray together. Luciana complains about her itch so Bea heads to her own bedroom to pray for the both of them. Luciana whines that she is getting bored to death.

Gumaro is having fun on phone with Roberto asking how come they had the substitution between Luciana and Lichita… Gumaro repeats to Roberto that maybe Lichita will be a tougher bone than Luciana. Roberto is afraid he will burn since he is playing with fire. Gumaro asks about losing his relationship with Licha? Yup. Gumaro reminds to him that they both are adults… when there is passion, any spark will lite the fire. Gumaro is right when he tells Roberto that he is afraid to really fall for Lichita.

Lichita is talking to her own romantic counselor, Elsa. Lichita keeps saying that she and Roberto came to do work and work alone. Even in the remote remote case anything happened, she promises Elsa that she would never let anything happen that would harm her. Elsa sighs relief. Lichita says she can’t find decent clothes. Elsa is about to promise she will help pay for a new work wardrobe for Lichita. Lichita reluctant to get in debt… Elsa says if you will go represent Iconika, need to dress and look the part. If you don’t like what you are wearing, use your imagination to change it a bit. You are a creative editor, no?

At another hotel, Sandra and Augusto are going at it… or maybe this is Sandra’s apartment. She is really begging (a bit too much begging for my taste) for some…. Augusto kisses her… but he gets in pain suddenly. Sandra says this (what he went through) is more serious than he said… HE just leaves.

Luciana is texting… then choses to call instead. She calls her dad. As he answers and Luciana sees Augusto walk in the door, she tells her dad to offend him and undermine his creative talents… (she is faking just because of Augusto, but her dad is really hurt by her words) … Then we get some blah blah between Augusto and Luciana… she nags about her rashes… asks him if he is recovered… Luciana asks him how come he almost died from wounds from an accident that looked more like bullet wounds.

At the LA hotel, Lichita and Roberto are walking together and he tells her she looks good… then this very feisty customer or potential customer walks right into them… this guy leaves our Fausto back in the dust as far as loudness and feistiness.

Luciana keeps trying to dig Augusto for information about his supposed ‘accident’. And Draco even faked being him… the nurse commented that his wound seemed more like a bullet wound. Tell me what mess are you into. Did someone try to mug you? She is now leaning on him on the couch and hurting him… did it have to do with something illegal? Or do you think I have a very creative imagination? (fantasia desbordada)

Now we see some commercial including Gumaro and Mayrin Villanueva. New part of lichita.com called Las Gumaradas.

(hurricane report… category 5… looks really bad around Puerto Vallarta coast… lets pray for everyone there … this is the area where the hotel Ana and Fernando spent the weekend in MCET is located)

The feisty client has taken Lichita and Roberto to a colorful texmex restaurant in L A. they are talking business but we can’t hear anything… Lichita and Roberto keep smiling at each other.

Augusto admits his wound was from a bullet but the police could not find enough evidence to determine that it truly had been a bullet. Luciana guesses he had to give out money left and right to make the evidence disappear. Augusto asks how much more will her discretion/silence will cost him. Luciana says she has enough with him supporting her at Iconika. And if you just listened to my convo with my dad, you will realize I prefer you 100 times to the loser of my dad. She has delivered her poison so she takes off whispering through her teeth that her rashes are color coded with her pajamas…

Augusto makes it to the bedroom only to get another woman wanting to talk to him. Bea is trying to be seductive for him while she tells him about Daphne behaving more rebellious and uncontrollable than ever… she suggests they send her to a boarding school… he agrees. Bea keeps doing some weird seductive moves on him… but at the same time saying it is a sin… (who understands her?)

The client has left and Lichita and Roberto talk about the deal… he does tell her that Hispanics are a huge influence in US. (true)… They keep trying to talk business and their fingers find each other’s… suddenly they both pull back… then do some small talk about how the family is doing. Lichita then brings up the VIdeomatic day… that day some really nice things happened, right? (she remembers their kiss and we hear the theme song…) He says they better get the check and leave. He leaves to go find the waiter.

In bed in pajamas, Augusto keeps trying to get away from Bea… he runs to door but she catches him there… (keeps talking about sin … ???) she says sometimes the wishes of the flesh are not so sinful or bad… he keeps pushing her off… his cell phone rings, saving him…

Luciana in her room is remembering her words to her dad and regretting it… or at least trying to figure how she will apologize to him… She calls his phone but her mom answers… she says her dad is depressed for what she told him and whines that she is the one that has to deal with his depression.

Back in master, Bea is now playing with the curtains while he is in bed trying to go to sleep. She suggests she give him a massage and instantly is all over him.

Luciana tells her mom that she won’t let her mom make her feel guilty … mom says he is painting to try to get over his depression. Mom tells her … well, tries to because Luciana insists they won’t make her feel guilty and hangs up on her mother… (wow!)

Bea whines to Augusto that he never lets her have some often enough, and if they did it often enough it would be better… ‘but you never want to… sometimes it looks like you don’t even like it… at least with me’. (and why are you with this guy if you own half of the company??) He tells her she is fine in bed… she says she can prove it once more… nut he rolls her off him and gets up.

Daphne picks up Luciana’s cell phone when it rings and catches Luciana’s mom whining to her about tha authorities in Argentina looking for her because of the engagement ring she stole from the Duke (she also says 'by the way dont even think about returning to Argentina')… Suddenly Luciana comes out of the bathroom and rants at Daphne for having her phone.

Roberto and Lichita are walking away from restaurant. Lichita is worried about Roberto having two different moods or personalities with her… one is almost totally indifferent to her as if they were strangers and the other one is more interested, texts her nice stuff, and kisses her and sweet talks in her ear… Roberto comes up with the excuse that they are tired and tomorrow will be a long day… Lichita gets the sign and says good nite and leaves him alone whispering to himself … flower… messages… kiss… (indiferent? … no way jose! I would say more like smitten or… even enchanted)

(more reports about hurricane Patricia being the strongest ever on record for Mexico)

Daphne tells Luciana that her parents are asleep… so if you plan a new scheme against me … Luciana brags that she is the daughter they always wanted and they will listen to her… no one loves you (Daphne). Daphne says ‘we will see’ and leaves. Luciana can’t wait to see Daphne locked up in a nun boarding school…

Roberto is in front of Lichita’s room door… changes his mind, runs away but returns… is about to knock on the door… knocks and runs back away… Lichita opens the door and wonders who knocked… Roberto comes back and admits he was the one who knocked. HE admits he is confusing her very much with his behavior but swears he is not doing it intentionally. They get really close and Lichita pulls away… Lichita is trying to talk about basically the weird roller coaster he has her riding in... she says he probably thinks she came on to him too hard/fast at the airport... he knows she wants to talk about why he did not hold her hand at the table or what happened at the video recording, including their kiss(es), but he has to say the words for her… Lichita says she wants to make it clear that if she came with him was so they would get to know each other and talk more…

Daphne is talking to her dad… she tells him about the phone conversation about a ‘engagement ring’ they are looking for her about in Argentina. Daphne says her mom would not believe her but he would, right? He assures her he does. But then ‘shooes’ her away. Daphne leaves. Draco comes in. Augusto tells him that just like he was suspecting, Luciana left some unfinished business about some engagement with a Duke in Argentina. He says she thinks she has him eating out of her hand… what she is not suspecting is that he is supporting her only to use her later for his own purposes.

Roberto asks Alicia to say what she wants… Alicia tells him she wasn’t thinking about them making love (this gets a small smile smirk on him)… blah blah… Roberto tells Alicia that he is not confused one iota. He likes her… he admits that if he hugs her it won’t be enough. If he kisses her, how can he resist himself later? "You have no idea what you are provoking in me…" (they both pull close and get into a very heated kiss). They stop only to stare at each other a few moments and then pull back together into a very slow but passionate kiss… (light effects and all).

Previews: Alicia and Roberto are laying in bed staring at each other but are clothed, not sure whether it happened or not…

Luciana tells Roberto she will get payback.

Comments:
Marta, I have said it before and I am sure I will say it again: you are so fast and the recap is so well done. Thanks!

Another fun one:

It will be interesting to see how Luciana gets her revenge on Alicia and Elsa.

Magos was her usual blah wet rag self.

So, Augusto is involved in something dangerous enough to get him shot.

How can Augusto agree to send Dafne off to a boarding school now when she has become a source of major info he can use to keep Luciana in line? Would be not want to use her for future info?

I laughed so hard at Luciana's face falling on the piano keys and poor Beatriz all wound up in the curtains; also at Luciana telling herself not to be angry to avoid getting wrinkles.





 

Marta, you are truly a wonder. Each week you give us a recap as the episode ends and it's filled with delicious detail. You never disappoint. Thank you.

Like Jarifa said, another fun episode.

Roberto and Lichita's handplay while they worked was so sweet.
 

I agree, i am liking more and more the faces, body language and chemistry between 'Roberto' and 'Alicia'.
but the triangles are getting interesting...
Luciana swears she got Roberto and Augusto both eating out of her hand... neither is actually doing what she wants or doing what she wants for the reasons she thinks... LOL!
Alicia does believe Roberto is falling for her and Roberto is right in that he is playing with fire and unlike Gumaro's optimistic prediction that love conquers all and forgives all... well... love might but then there is dignity, honesty, trust, etc etc... that come along with the love or else the relationship is doomed...
But Arath is really impressing me here... and to think he played such a different comical character in Una Familia con suerte. He is pretty irresistible here.
 

"...Gumaro's optimistic prediction that love conquers all and forgives all...well... love might but then there is dignity, honesty, trust, etc etc... that come along with the love or else the relationship is doomed..."

So beautifully said.

"But Arath is really impressing me here... and to think he played such a different comical character in Una Familia con suerte. He is pretty irresistible here."

Pancho Lopez was just a lovable goofball. Roberto is subtle and complicated and a true galan.
 

Roberto is subtle and complicated and a true galan. totally agree 1000%
 

Thanks so much, Marta! I just watched my recording, and this time managed to record Lo Imprdonable so that I could catch the last few mins of Lichita. Good thing too, since the first recording cut off just after Roberto said sex. I just about choked on my tea. Whoa! Lots of heat coming of Rob and Lichita. Whoo! How far will they go? Elsa was so cute and funny basically telling Lichita that it was ok if she and Rob had sex, just use protection. NOT what you want to talk about with your mom!

Don A's mysteries deepen. I was wondering how he lost so much blood, now we know he was shot. Hmmmm.... And he wants Luci around to be the scapegoat if his "other" business falls through. Hmmmm...
 

Marta, an excellent and thoroughly enjoyable summary. Your analysis was insightful and as Sara noted, conveyed perfectly. Your comments were equally astute and on point.

I totally concur with what you said about Arath. When I first saw he was the galan, I was incredulous and disappointed. Realizing I initially felt that way about Pedro Fernandez, quickly changing my mind due to hi earnestness and sweetness, I hoped ot change my mind here too. And I did, warming more with each episode. But to be honest, it was those sweet, lingering and very passionate kisses that won me over. He and Alicia are the sexiest nerds. Ever. (I love nerds and honestly, never met a real life nerd I didn't like so this is a high compliment).

"She has delivered her poison..." was my favorite line of many.

Daphne's parents indifference is really hard to watch. Jarifa, it seem as though Augusto barely realizes Dafne is there. I don't really think he loves anyone. Except perhaps himself. I'd like to see a little more insight into his character. I am tempted to say the same about Bea. She seems capable of real emotion but her attitude toward her daughter is unfathomable to me.

Every night before I watch I stiffen my resolve to ignore the spoiled, selfish and immature Luciana. And every night I fail miserably. When she puffed up her cheeks in a clear, cruel intent to torment Dafne, I actually yelled at the TV. She sets my teeth on edge. I loathed that she hurt her father too (I like the actor whose name I can't recall).

That said, your astute observations that Luciana really has neither Roberto nor Auggie doing her bidding gave me great hope Marta. I eagerly await her downfall.

"Gumaro is right when he tells Roberto that he is afraid to really fall for Lichita". I enjoy the relationship Gumaro and Roberto have forged, born at the orphanage and strengthened through the years. There is clearly warmth and affection between these brother from another mother.

Thank you Marta!

Diana


 

Marta, thanks for a great recap (delivered very quickly, too).

I'm enjoying Roberto's and Alicia's developing relationship, with its awkward moments and sincere attraction. I like that Alicia is willing to meet Roberto halfway and stand up for herself.

Beatriz wrapped up in the curtains, posing seductively, really cracked me up.
 

"Magos comes by and spoils the good mood."

Many of you have commented a out Magos's tendency to trample the dreams of others. Last night was no exception. It was so fun to see Elsa making big plans and to see Ximena getting excited. How sad when Magos told her mother to be realistic.

Elsa is a cool "classic model". She's up for new things, willing to adapt and learn and she's pretty open minded. Go Elsa! Don't let Magos bring you down. You're a great role model for your daughters and your granddaughter.
 

You don't miss nothing Marta so thank you.

"this is the area where the hotel Ana and Fernando spent the weekend in MCET is located"

My god, I'll take Roberto and Alicia kissing over any barbie and buff boy, semi nude, TV roll in the hay, any day.

I just hate Augusto. He was tapping the hour glass as Dafne was talking to him trying to make the time go faster.

Nice little twist for Augusto to have some dirt on Luciana but playing a long game with her.

 

Yes tofie, I wholeheartedly agree. I cannot abide Augusto at all and his treatment of Dafne just makes it worse. He dismisses her just as he does others. There appears to be no softness or caring there.

That said, I blame Bea much more. Am I being unfair simply because I believe mothers by nature should be more nurturing, more protective? She appears to shrink from her daughter physically and treat her the same as she would an acquaintance, with vague interest. I've not seen a kind look or a loving embrace. Please correct me if I am wrong but I see no maternal affection. How rare and how very sad.

Diana
 

"Am I being unfair simply because I believe mothers by nature should be more nurturing, more protective?"

You are not alone in feeling that way, Diana. Not all mothers feel that way, but TNs certainly equate an uncaring mother with being a bad person
 

I'm sure we will eventually learn the reason for Bea's coldness towards Dafne. I often wonder if she was fat as a child or somehow unattractive, and sees Dafne as a mirror image of the person she used to be and wants to forget.

Don A also seems to have lots of back story. It's interesting that his brother seems just the opposite of him- bad with money, passionate, emotional, dotes on his daughter. Maybe the brothers should switch daughters.
 

Just signing on to read the recap and comments. On the East Coast Lichita is on right now and will air till 4 p.m.
 

Thank you Niecie!
 

Marta, terrific recap. I missed the first half, so thanks for all the details. Some of the characters are getting on my last nerve (actually, a lot of them), but you treat them all with verve and it's fun reading.

I guess Daphne is too young for it, but I would love for her to legally emancipate herself from her parents.

Roberto and Alicia just too cute. And his giddy spinning around made me want to see them dance together. But maybe they did, under the sheets?
 

Thanks Sara.

I was blessed with a wonderful mother so Bea simply "does not compute". Her treatment of her daughter is unfathomable and frankly, unforgiveable.

Diana
 

Diana- no me cabe en la cabeza tampoco. My daughter is everything to me.
 

Thanks for the great recap!!!!

I love the chemistry between Rob and Alicia but I don't want them to have sex until he tells her the whole truth. Actually, this is the perfect time for him to tell her, at the very least, about Luci game. But I'm not expecting them to have sex for a really long time, if at all, before the final episode.
 

JOT: Arath de la Torre: anybody ever see "Una familia con auerte"? Opinion. Just saw his character on PEAM and thouggt he was a hoot.
 

Should have been :OT. (On my phone)
 

Jarifa, I only saw bits and pieces of Una familia. I wasn't drawn to the character or actor but again, likely didn't see enough.

I really like him here which wasn't what I was expcecting. Above and beyond that, I never dreamed of the chemistry Arath and Maite would have. Smoldering and hot. I am really enjoying this.

Diana
 

Jarifa- I enjoyed Familia and Arath in it. There are actually a couple of Familia actors in this. Sherlynn/Magos played one of Arath's daughters. Chuchette was his sister in law, who was in love with him.
 

Arath was very good in what I saw of UFCS. He was very cute there.

The chemistry between Arath and Maite is much better than what I saw of Arath and Mayrin (UFCS). Diana is right about the "smoldering and hot" between Arath and Maite.


 

Such a joy reading your recap Martaivett--Marta, a great recap for a great show I would say.

Did Lichita really put the blueberries in Luciana's salad? I noticed that she was so busy talking while she was eating that I don't think that she ever even looked at it. I know that Lichita wants to get back at Luciana for all that she, Luciana has done but spiking a salad could have ended up far worse than just a rash. You can kill people or seriously harm them with dirty tricks.

Marta---you said it well when you mentioned the faces, body language and chemistry between Roberto and Lichita.

Diana---The sexiest and I add loveable nerds. Yes---so true.

Jarifa---Una Familia Con Suarte was just great. Arath as Pancho Lopez was unforgettable in that novela. His accent or the way he talked was more than worth the price of admission alone but as a side treat we got Sherlyn who had her own band
She has such a sweet voice that I can't believe that she has never put out her own cd, she just has sung in various novela soundtracks. The whole cast in that novela was great.

A side note---The novela was such a success that a live show with most of the cast was put together. I went to their live stage performance. It was really good. The audience loved the entire show but the wildest, loudest and most enthusiastic applause and screams came when Sherlyn and Arath sang their solo numbers. The crowd went wild. Both of those guys are absolutely great on live stage.

Wow! Agusto was shot. What in the world is he in to? I guess that we will have to stay tuned to---must see tv.

the gringo


 

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts on "Una familia con suerte". I think I will have to give it a try some time.
 

I think the intervention of Arath's character and Mayrin's character in PEAM was due to the success of UFCS... they were meant to be the 'owners' of 'Avon' during PEAM so they do make cameo appearances here and there as the owners of teh company both Blanca's and Fernando's characters work for... so they were inpersonating their characters from UFCS into PEAM.
 

Thanks Marta :-) Excellent as always.

Arath's character in Soñadoras was much more like Roberto in Lichita than Pancho López in UFCS. He was crazy funny, but then he showed that tender side towards "Julieta."
 

Thank you, Marta!
 

Thanks for the recaps. I really love this show.
