Pasión y Poder #5 Mon 20151109 Get Off My Lawn Ya Dirty Mariachis and Take that Cheatin' SOB with Ya!

Hello, my name is Cynderella and I am your Monday recapper.  I have the sense of humor of a juvenile boy.  I apologize in advance to anyone that I WILL offend.  This recap has not been edited. 


The Skank Boat Party

David and Daniela are standing on the boat deck surrounded by a group of horrible background dancers.  She tells him that her sister's engagement is back on because he boldly recanted his father's statement to the press.  Suddenly, she rams her tongue down his throat and offers him a treat for breaking the camera.  Just in case he didn’t get that big hint, she turns and offers him her butt in some sort of spastic “I think I’m really sexy, but I’m not”, mating dance.  Little David likey, likey!  Anyways, eventually they end up stumbling into a hotel and the 70’s porn music begins.  He’s still recovering from his motorcycle accident and grabs his ribs, so she rides him like a he’s a Kentucky Derby stallion.   The next morning they wake up they and agree to be friends with benefits and just have fun.  He doesn't want her to get to attached.  Afterwards, they have sex again. 

An Evening on Black Mountain

Consuelo’s wearing some silky lingerie with cherry edible underwear, she’s got making babies on her mind.  Erick, her husband has hot dirty sex on the brain, but unfortunately for Miss Connie, his filthy thoughts are only for his side piece, Montseratt (Ratt).  Erick tells Connie to stop hounding him for his baby essence!  Sex for the sole purpose of making babies is a complete turn off!  While Connie has a good cry in the bathroom, Erick texts Montseratt (Ratt), whose not doing anybody else at the moment, so he bounces. 

Connie comes out of the bathroom, notices that Erick has left, and walks out into the hallway.  While Connie is searching high and low for signs of her husband, Miguel happens to be walking by.  Unlike some men, he can appreciate the sight of a dwarf, ex-super model wandering the east wing while wearing naughty, crotchless, panties.  If she wants a baby, I’m sure that he would willingly volunteer his studding services.  Say the word, baby!  Say the word!  Anyways, Miguel struggles to keep eye contact as they discuss her problems with Erick.  Don’t let my eyes wander, don’t let my eyes wander. She is my brother’s wife. Miguel tells Connie that Erick treats her like crap.  He’s only telling her this because (it’s true) and that he (Miguel) loves her.  He tells Connie to stop obsessing about becoming preggers and to find a hobby.  Connie says that she’s going to chat with Erick when he gets home.  She has more tests in the morning, but hopefully she’s be knocked up soon.  In one ear and out the other…oh well.  She gives Miguel a little peck on the cheek.  He touches his face longingly when she turns away. 

Well, Connie continues her inappropriate tour of the Montenegro residence.  At least she’s managed to cover that cupless bra and thong set with a short and silky robe.  Maybe she’s hoping to run into her father-in-law next?  Does everyone in the house have to know that she’s in heat and ready to procreate?  Cuz’ that’s what’s she advertising!

Anyways, Connie stops by Regina’s bedroom and SITS. DOWN. ON. HER. BED. Regina doesn’t have a problem with it, neither do I.  Anyways, Connie and Regina swap war stories.  Regina loves Joshua, but he’s a two-timing jerk.  Connie loves Erick, but she is willing to work on her marriage.  Regina thinks that David is brave for contradicting his father.  She wishes Josh was brave like David and less immature.  OK, I lied.  My gosh!  If you’re gonna sit on my bed, please wear some flannel pajamas….with a full crotch!  Don’t just make yourself comfortable on my new duvet in your new thong.  Nasty! She acts like she learned her manners in a brothel or something…..well now that explains it. 

Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Arturo is pissed that Nina rewarded Daniella’s bad behavior by allowing her to go to Cancun and as usual, he pissed about Eladio.  He bitches about how he’s not going to let Eladio get away with this.  It appears that they’ve just returned home because they are both dressed up.  Well, everyone in this show is always dressed up, so….they may have just been watching television and decided to hit the hay.  Artie is not in the mood, so it looks like she’s not getting’ no lovin’ tonight either. 

Miguel is suggesting that Artie use the internet or SEO advertising to do something with the hotels.  Artie is impressed….Nina also wearing short silky lingerie, sashays on in and tells Miguel to go back to his computers.  Oh my gosh!  This again!  I CAN NOT!  I JUST CANT!  Neither man is impressed.  So, Nina insults Miguel and leaves in a huff.  Miguel points out that Artie has never defended him in front of Nina and wants to know what’s up.  Miguel says that Artie has never treated him well.  First he left him with maids and then he left him with that sadistic step-mother who called him Miguel, the fool.  He wants to know why Artie has never liked him.  Before Artie can answer, he runs away.

Erick isn’t craving cherry underwear, but he is certainly out tomcattin’ around and getting him some Ratt tail.  After they finish up, he and Montseratt engage in a little pillow talk.  The Ratt wants to know if Artie wants revenge against Eladio and If so, how and when will he strike?  Erick says that his father isn’t planning revenge because Eladio is a nothing.  He explains that Eladio was a bellhop who worked in the Montenegro hotel and moved up to manager or something like that.  (Fill in what I missed). 

When Erick returns home, he is met in the foyer by Arturo.  Arturo wants to know where he was and why he’s coming in so late.  Erick tells Artie that he sounds like his nagging wife, Connie.  Arturo reminds Erick that insisted on marrying Connie and that now he needs to treat her right.  Erick tells his father that Connie has become a bore because she’s obsessed with getting knocked up.  Arturo tells him to work it out with his wife.  Is he certain that this is her fault?  Erick steals a snack from his father’s dinner plate and his father literally smells the foul odor of the Ratt.  Later in the bedroom, Erick is confronted by Bitter Connie, whom I now suspect is now desperate and is wearing no underwear at all.  She wants to know where he’s been.  He tells her that he was out with the guys.  He says that he didn’t tell her because she’s no fun anymore.  All she thinks about his getting preggers.   

Later, in the wee hours of the morning, the Montenegros are awakened by the sound of Joshua lip syncing, accompanied by a mariachi band.  Nina hurries into Regina’s bedroom and drags her out of bed.  She wants Regina to turn on the lights and smile at Joshua.  Nina swoons to the music and is very impressed by the romantic gesture.  Regina is not swayed.  Me neither, I hate mariachi music.  I suggest that she throw a shoe down at ‘em.  Stay off my lawn ya dirty Mariachis and take that cheatin’ bum with ya!

A scene or two later, Nina leads Regina to the foyer where Erick is waiting with an enormous bouquet of “I was Caught making out with your sister, but You Must forgive me because you have no self-esteem” red roses.  Apparently, I’m not the only one who doesn’t appreciate mariachi music.  Erick, comes to the balcony and yells at Joshua because “some people” have to get up in the morning.  Joshua thinks that Gina still loves him because she got him out of jail.  Regina finally gets Joshua to admit that he was kissing her sister.  Daniela kissed him, he says.  He was upset because Regina was worried about David and not him.  Anyways, Regina tells Joshua to leave. She needs time to make her decision.

Artie calls his Augustin who is also wearing silk pajamas and tells him to find Julia’s number.  Augustin tells him that he shouldn’t use Julia for his revenge plan.  Artie says that she is not part of his revenge plan.  He really does still love her and wants to tell her.  Unbeknownst to Artie, Nina has re-entered the room.  He is so almost busted!  Not only does she demand to know who he’s talking to, she grabs the phone to make sure that it is indeed Augustin.  She tells them to stop working at this ungodly hour and Artie takes the phone back.  He tells her that she had no right to do that.  She stops herself before she tells him that she almost thought that he was cheating on her.  She shakes it off by reminding him that he would never cheat because she knows that he adores her.  She attempts to get some sex by showing off her goodies, but Artie has Julia on the brain.   He tells her that she is pressuring him and he doesn’t like it.  She doesn’t look happy.

An Evening on the Moon

When Eladio enters the bedroom, Julia is not happy.  She tells him to go away because she is tired of fighting.  Eladio gives his wife Julia a red rose and apologizes. He kisses her hand and asks her out on date at her favorite Italian restaurant.  He then promises never to beat her a$$ again and he will prove that he’s changed by making up with David.  He calls David in front of her but gets the voicemail.  Her expression says that she can’t believe that he is changing for her, and his expression says that he can’t believe that she’s falling for this B.S. again.  She smells her rose, places it on a chair and goes off to change. 

Later at dinner, she downs the entire bottle of wine (OK, that didn’t happen, but ya know that she wanted to tell the waiter to bring the bottle).  Eladio toasts to a new beginning.  At first he orders dessert for her, but asks the waiter to bring the menu.  He tells her that she can make decisions for herself from now on.   O.M.Gosh!  She can order her own food now!  I’m impressed.

Back at the Moon residence, Gabriela is in the den, sitting on the sofa, reading the Bible.  Franco (Eladio’s godson) walks in and Gabriela informs him that the dish rag and her beast are out at date night.  Franco pulls her in and immediately sucks her lips off.  She slaps his hand when he tries to round third base.  He gets all pissed because he thought she was all into it. She doesn’t want to do it in the house.  He offers to take her to a motel, but she nixes that as well.  She doesn’t want to be friends with benefits anymore.  She wants him to have the talk with Eladio.  Gabriela returns to reading her Bible, but later falls asleep on the couch.  Franco goes for it and pounces on her, but again, she ain’t having it.  No ringy, no thingy.  Franco doesn’t want to be disinherited like David.  Gabriela says that David is awesome because he doesn’t depend on Eladio, like some people. 

The paparazzi spring on Julia and Eladio as they leave the restaurant.  The paps want to know what Eladio thinks of Arturo not suing him for defimation.  One reporter reads Arturo’s statement.  Quote:  Arturo said “you ain’t sh*t” and he’s got grown folk’s business to take care of. Unquote!  Eladio remains calm and says that as long as his son wasn’t hurt, he’s happy.  Julia looks adoringly at Eladio as the camera lights flash.  Eladio plants a big fat kiss on Julia.  Later that night, Julia finds Eladio lying on her bed.  He moves in for a kiss, but tells that he will not rape her for the second time in 20 years and she thanks him for restraining himself and not raping her for the second time in 20 years.  He leaves the room, but later, he decides he will stalk her in her dreams.  He lies next to her and talks to her and strokes her sleeping form.  He will make her fall in love with him…even if he has to accept that bastard son of hers.



Who the Hell are These People and Why Are They In This Telenovela?

The little blond maid, Clara, is walking arm and arm with old woman, Gisela.  Blondie reveals that she totally has the hots for Francisco.  Old later tells her to keep dreaming.  He’s out of her league.  She’d only be a play thing for the rich boy. 

The Next Morning-the Moon House

At breakfast, Eladio asks Julia to trust him.  Julia is impressed how he handled the press last night.  She asked if she can attend a children’s fundraiser.  He says yes, and she doesn’t have to take Efrain, the body guard if she doesn’t want to.  In front of her, he tells Efrain that she is the boss and to listen to her, but later tells Efrain to keep an eye on her without her noticing. 

The Next Morning-Montenegro Headquarters/Casa

Artie’s admin runs into his office with the phone number to the Gomez Luna Foundation.  Artie waits takes the note, waits until she leaves and makes a call.  He introduces himself.  He wants to make a donation.  He also would like to speak with Mrs. Gomez Luna, but she’s lost his number.   

Miguel finds Consuelo sulking on the terrace.  She’s still horny and she’s still not preggers.  According to Connie, things are now even worse between her and Erick.  Miguel tells Connie again to get a hobby or a job.  Connie doesn’t want to.  She’d rather wait around for her husband and be mentally abused.  Nina strolls by the two of them talking on her cell phone.  She too has been invited to the Children’s Fundraiser.  Miguel grabs her hand and drags her to breakfast. 

Arturo, acts like a big fat Richard, by calling Julia at her house and Eladio, who is definitely a big fat Richard demands to know who she’s talking to.  This is not going to end well, I can tell.

Comments:
Love the recaps and the nicknames you did. And Eladio's phone Naokia 8990. I never thought I 'd see that type of phone at this day and age. Each episode keeps getting intense.
 

Cynderella, I'm a prude and I love your sense of humor. Your writing is sophisticated, conversational and earthy all at the same time. I watched Mentir Para Vivir longer than I wanted just because your recaps of that tn had me in fits of laughter.

I only watched the first ep of this and was bored by it, but you've no doubt made this more entertaining than it was. Connie sitting on Regina's bed with no underwear...yuck and eww and so funny.
 

OH, this was sooo good Cynderella. Love all your nicknames and comments on our crazy folks!

So was it not rather fun to see a different Eladio last night. There was the FC we know and love, Mr. Smooth Moves. So even though he's a baddie, I like seeing the change and layered character much better than angry all the time. Now the fact that Julia seemed to fall for it hook line and sinker sort had me perplexed, but I think the poor woman is grabbing at any straw she can get after 20 years of abuse. Sad to see someone get excited about ordering her own food?!?!?!?!

Was none too pleased at the David/Daniela hook up, but pretty much figured they would go there so the two sisters can fight over the guy. (Lord, he is pretty.) Anyhoo, Gina had me a tad worried there with that creepy stalker of an ex, but so glad she threw him to the curb as soon as her Skank-ho mother was out of the room. '

And what is with Miguel? I don't understand why he is such an odd man out, even with his father. back story please.

So, wonder who we see without clothes tonight? Seems to be a running theme.

Cynderella, love your recaps, we speak the same language. So much packed in cannot get to it all. Thanks

"70’s porn music begins"

Nina - "What are you wearing Jake at State Farm?"

Ratt - "Round And Round" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u8teXR8VE4

Joshua - not fair, it was a trick question

Miguel - NEET "Not in Education, Employment, or Training"

Eladio - then you turn the toast over and butter the other side of the bread

Julia - how about my chastity belt?

Daniela - eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may not be able to get into this teeny weeny bikini

Regina - coming from you, surprised the roses aren't fake

 

Cynderella, you really outdid yourself today. I am at work and laughed out loud several times (simply ignoring the inquiring looks from coworkers). You related everything so well but with irreverent humor. Which was perfect.

"Just in case he didn’t get that big hint, she turns and offers him her butt in some sort of spastic “I think I’m really sexy, but I’m not”, mating dance" was my favorite but " his filthy thoughts are only for his side piece, Montseratt (Ratt)" and "Erick isn’t craving cherry underwear, but he is certainly out tomcattin’ around and getting him some Ratt tail" were close behind.

Agree with you daisy that at least we get to see a little dimension to Eladio. It was calming and reassuring to see Colunga slip seamlessly into his good guy persona, even if a faked one.

There have been some comments about the lack of chemistry among the leads and I concur. Arturo clearly does not love Nina and his physical response to her seems rather mechanical. Julia has been abused for so many years by Eladio, I was surprised she seemed to forgive rather rapidly. I'm sure he will shatter her world rather quickly.

I am interested to see what sparks Julia and Arturo generate.

Connie was rather pathetic. I like her but she has no self respect and groveling to the unworthy Erick is beneath her.

"Who the Hell are These People and Why Are They In This Telenovela"? Yeah, I don't get these people either. Sorry...

Diana
 

Gracias, Cynderella.

I'm not buying Eladio's BS. Having been in an emotionally abusive relationship I know that's all it is. It's a manipulation and in two or three episodes he'll be back to control freak and escalate that to rage monster once again. It's a ploy to make Julia think it's all her fault. He will ultimately insult her womanhood (Not that he hasn't already before the curtain went up) and she will fall for that and end up depressed.

I love mariachi music, but would be extremely uncomfortable at this gesture even if I was madly in love with the guy and he were a prince. This scene makes me wonder what the etiquette is when you want nothing more to do with the creep who is paying the musicians. My gut says you just don't go to the window and that Nina knows that.

Nina's determination to force Regina to marry Joshua is disturbing, but I will say more about that later.

Daniela is a skank-ho and she will pay for that sooner or later.

More later. My stomach's acting up.
 

Every TN has it, mariachi music, is it really used as a salve for a misdeed or grease to move a relationship along? Serious, is this the go to? I've volunteered in places throughout the globe it is the gift of a cow, pig, cell phone or pulling up outside on a new scooter.
 

"Nina - "What are you wearing Jake at State Farm?""

Brilliance, sheer brilliance tofie.

Connie's anxiety and need to have a child are tied to her own upbringing. She's desperate for a family, someone to care for and love, which I'm guessing is something she never had. The fact that she is married to a cretin like Erick makes it sadder but she most likely is afraid to make waves for fear of finding herself abandoned again, literally. I wish she would listen to her friend and Miguel and get out and find something outside those walls to do. She most likely has zero self worth for all her former success and looks. She's like this little wisp that just floats in and out of everyone's lives there.

One thing made me laugh last night, as Nina was trying so valiently to get herself some from Artie, no matter what she did, her hair didn't really seem to move. Only in mass, like one big glob. She must have enough product on that mane to keep nary a hair out of place. No wonder he's not turned on. I mean, really, you want to run your fingers through that gloop?

Daisynjay


 

More likely it's extensions and not pleasant to run one's fingers through. This actress is 39 years old and unlikely to wear her real hair like that anymore. She's also too young to be the mother of someone Erick's age, but this is nothing new.

Great list, Tofie!

I get Connie's desperation but she needs to recover her self-respect and get out of this hellhole Nina is running.
 

Cynderella, thanks for the giggles with my breakfast. I will stick with this tn if only for the excellent recappers. I want to have lunch with you, girl. I especially liked your description of life on the Moon.

Tofie..I always love your lists.

So...how are the writers explaining ELOUDio getting less loud? Is he on Zanex now?...bipolar? It is not believable that after 20 years of loud and bossy and violent that Julia is falling for Suddenly Senor Nice Guy.

Having two daughters,I have to laugh at Nina thinking that she can make Reg marry Joshua. HAHAHA

And Art calling Julia???? Yeah, that's a good idea. I loved the "Jake at State Farm" comment.

I guess that so far the only link between the pobrecitos and the Rich and Meaningless is Clara being Consuela's bff and cleaning lady at Francisco's office.
 

Daniela either has or establishing a pattern of going after Regina's men to snatch male attention away from Regina. This is probably because Arturo pays more positive attention to Regina than to Daniela.

I think what happened in the Nina/Arturo/Miguel scene is Nina came in and insulted Miguel as usual, but this time Arturo told her to stop insulting Miguel. After she left, Miguel told Arturo that was the first time he had ever stood up for him against Nina and wanted to know why he let Nina mistreat him all those years & why he (Arturo) ignored him, first with nannies, then with Nina. Then before Art could come up with something Miguel flounced out of the room.

Gaby's not trying to be Franco's jumpoff anymore and insists he tells his intentions towards her to Eladio & Julia.
 

Cyn- It's great to be reading one of your funny recaps again. So glad you came out of recapping retirement!

I have no idea why Art thinks it's a good idea to call Julia in her home, that she shares with his worst enemy, her HUSBAND. Seriously, dude? I did laugh when Nina took the phone out of Art's hands to confirm he was indeed speaking to Agustin. We've seen hints and flashes of her jealous nature. Things are going to get really ugly once she realizes she has competition for Art's affections in Julia.

I was glad Regina stuck to her guns, even getting Josh to finally confess to the kiss, but she was wise enough to act civil when Nina was in the room. By the way she was drooling over that photo of David, I don't think Josh stands a chance anymore.

I'm not sure how David will make the awkward transition from Daniella to Regina, once he learns Regina is free and single. Even though he and Dani said no strings attached, you just don't boink two sisters. It's bad manners.


 

Thanks, Cynderella. My favorite snark:

Does everyone in the house have to know that she’s in heat and ready to procreate?

Well, everyone in this show is always dressed up, so….they may have just been watching television and decided to hit the hay.

I should have sympathy for Consuelo, but she's so annoying announcing her fertile time just before she tries to bed Erick, when she knows it turns him off. Puzzled how Arturo smelled something on Erick post-Monteserrat but Consuelo didn't. Putting on beanie.

Surprised that Julia seemed moved by the calmer, caring Eladio. She must love this man a weebit. Kudos to him for giving her a gentle kiss and then not trying to have sex with her. Very smooth. Too bad that doofus Arturo has called the house to upset Eladio's fake new groove.

Have to admit right now I'm interested in all the characters. Nobody's perfect. In her own way, Nina is as controlling as Eladio.
 

Eladio's behavior last night is more like it. With little effort she will have Julia eating out of his hand and stomp Art to dust. Come on Eladio, keep it together.

Art's sniff was what I was expecting a few days ago after Erick had just left and Eladio popped in at Ratt's house. Don't dogs mark their territory
 

Ah, but don't you know that the rich and shameless are above those rules? ;) This would not be the first time that a galan has made the transition from Skank Sister to Honorable Sister.

Daniela is a younger version of Nina (if Nina had grown up rich), which is what Nina wanted from both her daughters. That is one of the reasons she is trying to force this marriage.
 

Niecie- Erick actually gave his father a hug and a kiss (which is when Art sniffed him), but he didn't let Consuelo get within ten feet of him.
 

When Regina was speaking about Josh with Consuelo and Miguel, Miguel mentioned how she had never dated someone like Josh before-- someone in the popular crowd, who was really social, who did things like ride motorcycles. She admitted that it was fun/exciting, and it finally earned her some acceptance from Nina-- which is probably why her relationship with Josh got this far, despite the fact that they have nothing in common and she doesn't seem to be in love with him.
 

Thank you for the beautiful recap and all the inner details love it ... Am loving this telenovela even though I don't speak Spanish haha... Can't stand Nina character is it me or does she seem to young to be playing the mother of 3 kids... Maybe am just jealous of her stunning figure
 

Diana, she is 39 years old off-camera. To have a son Erick's age (I'm guessing he is meant to be about 25) she would need to be at least 7 or 8 years older and gotten pregnant on the wedding night.

Unless he isn't Arturo's child. He certainly doesn't look like him, but that doesn't mean anything.

The actor playing Erick is probably more than 25 as well, but this short age difference is nothing new anymore. Michelle Renaud (Regina) is actually 27, which makes her only 12 years younger than Marlene Favela (Nina) and 20 years younger than Jorge Salinas (Arturo).
 

Diana- Actresses are usually always too young to be the mothers of their oldest on-screen children in real life. This is true for television and movies all over the world.

Ages of our four older lead characters:
Fernando C/Eladio: 49
Jorge S./Arturo: 47
Susana G/Julia: 42
Malene F/Nina: 39

Ages of the "kids":
Alejandro N/Erick: 39 (same age as his "mother")
Juama M/Miguel: 29 (note, he's supposed to be older than Erick)
Michelle R./Regina: 27
Jose Pablo M./David: 24
Irina B/Daniela: ?
 

Oh, good God! That is the absolute limit (in the Victorian sense of the word).
 

Ah, Irina/Daniela is 23. Yeah, not sure why they didn't cast someone younger to play Erick, or someone older to play Miguel. But at least Erick isn't being played by Sergio Sendel/ Niño Emi. :)
 

Honestly what throws the whole kids versus Nina thing for a loop is Erick. The actor is just plain to older looking. And he definitely looks almost 5 or more years older than his "big brother". Terrible casting.

Thanks for the reminder Vivi on Gina's attitude about why she stuck with that loser Josh. Nina and her "Be a tramp like me and I'll love you to pieces" is a sad thing to impose on someone like Gina. She's not lacking in looks or figure (as noted by her jammies last night---who sleeps in something like that???), but heaven forbid she insists on using her smarts. Gather Nina is no Einstein, and to her, that's like an insult to have Gina throw at her that Nina's way is not the "right" way to be in their society. Nice she has the support of her father to be independent.

That said, I think seeing Julia and seeing what Eladio did in using his son maybe is waking Artie up to being more aware of his kids. Let's hope anyway.

Daisynjay
 

Usually I find that the young looking mother is explained away by the mother being vain and very careful of her looks (or not the bio mother at all):

In LI, the Salma/Emiliano age difference was explained as Salma taking very good care of herself and Salma not being Emi's bio mom.

In Amor Bravo, Isadora/Flavio M. character's age discrepancy was again explained as 1) Isadora taking real good care of herself; 2) Isadora not being Flavio M character's bio mom.

In this case, the miscast isn't the Nina actress; Nina is probably supposed to be mid 40s. The actress is portraying someone only a few years older than she is. The miscast is ERIK & Consuelo. Erik & Consuelo should be played by younger actors --the other Montenegro kids could be Arturo/Arturo & Nina's children --even 27 year old Michelle Renaud could technically be Marlene Favela's bio child if Marlene had her at 12 ...which unfortunately can & has happened.
 

Probably Franco should've been played by the Erik actor and Erik should've been played by Franco actor.
 

Anon207- Also, in Amor Bravio, Isadora was a child bride sold to her ancient husband, and forced to become mother to his bastard son. This case is just miscasting the oldest child. But perhaps Alejandro/Erick will bring something special to this role that the producers and casting folks want.
 

Thing is, Erik isn't Arturo's oldest child...he should be looking younger than Miguel...who is actually the oldest child*. There's nothing wrong with the casting of the 4 leads & their kids EXCEPT the casting of the Erik character.

*I can't remember if Jauma M. wore glasses as David in LFDD, but if he didn't, they probably have him wearing those heavy framed glasses to make him appear older than Erik.

It ain't working.

At any rate, Agustin & Miguel are getting my motors running...Agustin for the gray sexy and Miguel for the nerdy chic.
 

I think that Alejandro Nones is typecast as the older child who becomes the black sheep (as he was in Corona de Lagrimas) while Jaume Mateu is the nerdy good son (La Fuerza del Destino).

Interesting that Arturo smelled something bad on Erick. I see a confrontation in their future about him cheating on Consuelo. This shows that Erick isn't smart enough to take a shower right after banging the ho, but I'll bet Eladio is.
 

Cynderella, you made me laugh out loud several times. This was hilarious, thank you and keep them coming.
So Julia and Eladio only did it once in the last 20 years? Maybe that's why he got so crazy...I wonder how many lovers he had before Ratt? (Perfect nickname, btw)

Julia falling for Eladio 's charm can only be explained by two things :
1. she's starving for affection
2.hé looks like FC

Let's see how long he can keep up the act.
Also loved thé lingerie bits. Lol

Cynderella, this was wonderful and full of many great and funny lines. Thank you.

Wow, what a difference it is when Eladio isn't angry all the time. I doubt this will last long but it is nice seeing him more clam and acting sort of normal. And it was nice to see that he let Julia order her own food.

Hahaha, Nina, Consuelo, Eladio, and Franco didn't get any loving last night. While David, Daniela, Erick, and Montserrat did. Interesting. They are sure living up to "Pasion" part of the title with some of these couples at least.

It cracked me up when we saw Regina putting a pillow over her ear so she would not have to hear the serenade that Joshua brought her. Finally, he admits that there was a kiss between him and Daniela. It was about time.

David was a disappointment giving into Daniela's "reward". Yuck, hopefully we won't have to see that again.
 

*more calm not clam (sorry for the typo)
 

Ahhhh, Cynderella, you are so back in form. Couldn't wait to send you kudos and kicka@@es for this sex(y)-drenched recap. After all, that's what makes these telenovelas go round the world and back again.

I know it was uncouth of me and totally inappropriate, after giggling and nodding as I read through the recap, I got to this line and had to let out a guffaw: "He moves in for a kiss, but tells that he will not rape her for the second time in 20 years and she thanks him for restraining himself and not raping her for the second time in 20 years."

Tuesday mornings will be a Sweet Treat indeed. More later.
Your avid reader,
Anita (whose memory of you goes back to El Tal-early days and AV)
 

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I know that I can go way over the top sometime, but I fixate on something and I can't let it go. Connie was trying to get Erick in the mood in a little nightie. That fascinated me because she was wandering the house in a sexy little nightie/robe with her brother-in-law and father-in-law present. Most women give their mates easy access when they are trying to tempt them, so in my opinion she was running around the mansion with "easy access" as well. Where is Susanlynn when I need her? She would know exactly what I mean. If she was a female in my house, she would have been told to go back in her room and change or she would have caught a beat down.
 

The Univision censors must have worked overtime on last night's episode. There were "blurry spots" on many of the bikini bodies in the Cancun yacht scene. I didn't think the skimpy costumes were that risque.
 

J desde NYC: You can't be that much of a prude if you like my sense of humor. LOL

Daisynjay: Thanks. From what I can gather, Art cheated on Julia and made Miguel. That's why art is just not that into him. Miguel is the reason that he lost Julia.

tofie: I forgot about Jake from State Farm. That's funny. I wish I would have thought of that. What guy sits around in a silk robe and silk pajamas. Auggie even dresses up for bed.

Diana: If I were a guy, I think that Connie would get on my nerves as well. She's a little too obsessed with babies. He's wrong, but she makes him feel like a piece of meat.

Urban Anthropologist: I hate mariachi music because when I went to La Paz, the mariachi's distracted me with pleasant music while I was served 9 jello shots. Let's just say, that I barely found my cruise ship.




 

GoBlueFan- Sometimes Uni thinks one woman's half bare derriere is more provocative than another's, and must be blurred. Women wearing the same kind of bikini in the same scene will get different treatment by the censors. They blurred Dani's side boob when she was in bed with David too.
 

Seems like there's going to be a LOT of sex in this tn (more than the last many tns), so the Univision censors are going to be working overtime.
 

Susanlynn: Awesome, you showed up! Yeah!

Vivi: Thanks. I love this show. If Art loves her so much, why would he call her house and risk her life. He knows that Eladio is a nut. If Regina dumped Josh for kissing her sister, how in the world is she going to get over David boinking her sister. That's just gross.

Niecie in MD: that wierds me out how they never but on a pair of jeans. It's like they are going to a semi-formal event every day.

Diana Okello: Hello. Thanks for reading my recap.

Mauricio: Yeah, I didn't like David sleeping with Daniela either. That makes him a tramp too.

Anita: You are going to hell for laughing at that. :-)

Anon207: I miss your funny lists.




 

Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said! It *was* nice to see FC back in his Suave, Smooth Moooves element. I was able to forget for a moment he is supposed to be a nasty son of a b++++.

Adriana--This is a instant classic--
"Julia falling for Eladio 's charm can only be explained by two things:
1. she's starving for affection
2.hé looks like FC"

I might add that she's looking somewhere, deeply, longingly, for that Swashbuckling, Decisive, Horseback-Riding, Pirate-Lover she had in plain old Pasion.

 

I work during the day, so I can only read your recaps on my lunch. I apologize for not being part of the conversation. I'll see ya next week.
 

Cynderella--It wasn't what you said, it was the WAY you said it....still laughing.
 

One more and then I am gone for real!

Adriana Noel: It is so nice to hear from you! 20 years! Again, I'm starting to understand Eladio....just a little bit! If I'm paying all of the bills, supporting your bum dad and putting up with "someone else's" kid and your niece...I'd be in a bad mood to if you didn't show me a little appreciation every once in a while. Just saying.
 

Arturo/Miguel backstory:

Arturo was engaged to Julia but got an unnamed woman pregnant. Engagement to Julia was broken & he married unnamed woman. Unnamed woman died, leaving him a widower with Miguel. Ignored Miguel & left him in the care of nannies. Met/married Nina in the US & allowed her to treat his child like trash. Telling Nina to stop calling his son names was apparently the first time Arturo had ever stood up for Miguel & Miguel wanted to know why.

For all we know, Eladio might have paid Unnamed Woman to seduce Arturo & for all we know Miguel might not be Arturo's child after all.


Eladio backstory (what we know so far):

Eladio started from the bottom, now he's here. Worked as a bellhop at Daddy Montenegro's property & worked himself up. Screwed Daddy Montenegro. Daddy Montenegro & Arturo have regarded Eladio as a shady character ever since.


Julia backstory:

Daddy was abusive, controlling jerk who gambled their family fortune away. Julia apparently doesn't have much education and little marketable skills. Eladio came in and saved the financial day. Daddy knows if Julia ever left Eladio his life of luxury is over so he insists she must stay with Eladio so he won't live the poor life.

Apparently Julia met with Arturo several times before her wedding to Eladio. This has been pointed out several times by Eladio & Daddy to Julia. This is why Eladio doesn't believe David is his son, and he probably doesn't want a DNA test done on David for fear it would reveal David is Arturo's son.


Nina backstory:

Nina was a talentless actress who was smart enough to know she wasn't talented enough to have a successful career. Set her sights on her mark...Arturo & married him in the US quickie ceremony. For all we know, Nina might've been pregnant by some other dude & Erik might not be Arturo's child.

 

It also cracked me up when Arturo smelled some funny business on Erick. ;)

What was Arturo eating anyway?
 

LOL from beginning to end. Cynderella, you're a riot. Thanks for this fun recap.

Tofie---Finally one of your FAMOUS lists. I was beginning to think that I would never see another one again. I was starting to think that you were through with your GREAT lists.

I feel for Consuelo. With a guy like that, I can see why she's depressed.

David and Daniela? I was so disappointed. She saw, she wanted, she conquered. Will
she be fighting Regina for him now?

There was a g-string bikini on the yacht bouncing to the music that didn't get blurred last night. I wonder if someone over at Univision will get fired for missing that one?

Yes, the big question is how long will Eladio stay nice? He did tell the body guard to watch Julia behind her back.

must see tv
the gringo
 

"She saw, she wanted, she conquered."

Gringo- Or in the words of Pitbull, from his song "Fireball": "She saw, she conquered, she came". :)

Cynderella Cynderella Cynderella. What a snazzy recap my dear. Very good.
When I saw eli sweet talkin juls, I thought to
Myself "what is he up to?" I wish he was as nice as he looks. I remember when I first started watching TNs he was one of the first actors that I thought was attractive, he still is hes just playing a dog in this one. I wish he was that nice in this tn. I can't stand this character, hes cold Blooded. I hope shes on the alert. After 18 or So years all of a sudden he's kissy kissy sweet face? I don't think so. Bells & whistles Should be screamin in her brain right now.
That childrens fundraiser is gonna be raising
More than funds. David has no idea the web
He's gettin tangled in. Just when he starts to fall in love with gina girl here comes danny girl preggers. I can see right now this is going to Turn into a hot mess, parents and children Alike.
Connie should listen to her bro-in-law and
Get a hobby or a job, cuz her hubby is crap.
And he could have an STD. Ain't no tellin who
Else The rrat has been riding, besides the crazy sociopath. These two families are like the Hatfields & the McCoys on crack cocain.
Eladio can get angry, but all bets are off when you start to rape someone cuz they can't or won't love you. Stop paying the bills,
Stop taking care of the bumb dad, don't put
Up with the kid that suppose to be someone
Elses. But raping someone? NO! Now whose
The bad guy? and saying we're married it's
Ok, no the hell its not. He could have walked away, but he stayed. why? He likes controlling her. What a hot mess this tn is.

Thanks Cyndarella!!!!! :-)
 

What Auturo was eating looked like sliced fruit, mango and some kind of floppy biscuit.
And I wouldn't have eaten from that plate after erick had his hand on It. And after gettin a whiff of that funky smell. Yuck!!!! :'0
 

Cynderella...Did I hear you call my name? And yes, I understand you. About the jeans..don't you remember telling me why Miss Vicky in AV never wore capri pants ?

Vivi...I love Pitbull. He had a concert a few years ago at a local place called Crocodile Rock, and I wanted to go, but one of my students from Colombia warned me not to because a lot of fights broke out at that venue.
