Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #100 1-18-16 Muchacha Italiana ya está casado

Ciao e andiamo, mi Peeps!  Let's see how this plays out as the de la Riva Palmas and Assvaldo watch him and Aitana on the small screen gettin' busy!  "What's the meaning of this?" they shout. Sonia holds court and smoothly informs Aitana and her parents that they will not be trying to implicate her and Assvaldo in the swindle of ACorp. 

"If you try to accuse us, we will release the video and your precious daughter will not be able to snag a wealthy husband!  I've had you investigated and you've pulled one con job after another!"

"Why, I'm not going to let myself be blackmailed by a cabaret singer!"  shouts Benigno.  "Why did you do it?" screeches Celeste at Aitana!

"For entertainment!  I was tired of being your puppet!"  Benigno turns on Sonia again.  He doesn't believe Sonia and tries to call her bluff.  Sonia is ready.  She has several copies of the video with different investigative agencies all of which are prepared to release it should something happen to her or Assvaldo.  Grasping at straws, Aitana's parents wonder what about Assvaldo, he's in the video, too!   Sonia answers with a mild sneer that Assvaldo has nothing to lose.  Celeste admits that Sonia has their and Aitana's reputation in her hands.  They agree to shut up.  Sonia tosses her head triumphantly and commands smugly glowing Assvaldo to get her lap top and purse.  He does and follows her swishing, swirling, pink hemline out of the de la Riva's house, carrying her bags.



Eloisa, Fiorella and Pedro have returned from the board meeting and are so happy to be rid of that thieving bunch of leeches.  Eloisa congratulates Pedro on handling them with such class:  she would have thrown the whole bunch in the slammer!  Eloisa climbs the stairs thinking aloud that one cannot judge a book by it's cover.

Fiorella blows off steam about having let that "chick with the dirty, frizzy hair" get to her.  Pedro's got better things to talk about.  Like her birthday!  They playfully argue:  Fiorella doesn't like to celebrate her birthday and besides, she's supposed to take Eloisa somewhere.  They settle for something they can agree on:  a kiss!

Let's check on some other action:

Diana frets to Vitto about not having Betito back and she's frantic that Anibal will follow through on his threat to hurt him!  Vitto doesn't think he would hurt his own son but Diana says he's capable of anything.  Domingo comes in and asks about her Mom.  She's bad, in critical condition in the ICU.  Vitto asks Domingo to close the restaurant:  they are not going to work today.  He offers to go to the hospital with her.  Before they can go to the hospital Diana gets that dreaded call.  Her Mom has died!   Diana wonders what she has done so wrong in her life to lose her whole family, first Betito and now her Mother!  Domingo returns to the office with more bad news:  a foreclosure notice on La Dolce Vita!  Domingo leaves the papers.  Vitto gently encourages Diana to go with him to the hospital to see her mother.

Pilar is chanting, "Maximo, Maximo, Maximo!"  Freddie freaks out and shouts that Max is stone cold dead, good and buried  in the cemetery already!  Freddie has had it, Pilar is driving her crazy, she bolts out for a little loca-free air!  Pilar repeats "Cemetery!  Cemetery!" and then SHE'S out the door with little Albanito clutched firmly to her breast!  Freddie returns and finds Pilar gone and knows right where to find her.

Pilar makes it to the beautiful marble crypt where the Angeles family remains are kept.  She is shown the grave of Maximo and cries "Why, Why?" and begins to collapse to the floor when she spies "her own grave" engraved Pilar Angeles, 1995 and she cries that much harder and slides all the way down, crying, "I am Pilar!  I am Pilar!"  Freddie finds her and almost sounds sympathetic as she observes that Pilar has found "her grave."  Freddie says they all thought she was dead and they had a funeral.  Pilar asks and is told, yes, Pedro attended, Maximo lied to them all.  Freddie eeks out a couple of sobs for her father, Gabriel, and then yells and smacks the face of Max's grave:  "Look how everyone has suffered because of you!"

Roxi has a job interview!  Ooops!  It ends quickly as the slimy interviewer gets in Roxi's personal space and indicates that part of her job is for her to be "real nice" to him!  "¡No me toques!" Roxi shouts and quick as a flash Benni sprints in and POW! busts the slimy interviewer in the chops and they're outta there!

Let's catch back up with Sonia and Assvaldo after her masterful performance!  The two arrive back to  their bedroom and Assvaldo is beaming!  "I thought we were sinking, but you saved us!"  Ass wonders why Sonia is so quiet, she said nothing during the whole ride home.  He looks at Sonia closely, her anguish is barely controlled.  Assvaldo says he is happy and Sonia's eyes fill with tears.  He wants to apologize.  "Oh, I know, you're flirting got out of hand. . ." Sonia begins.  "No, I've been a jerk.  Please forgive me.  You don't deserve the lousy way I've treated you all these years.  You are a wonderful woman and what you did today reminded me of why I fell in love with you.  I love you.  You're so beautiful."  He kisses her as they back towards the bed and lie down.  Sonia declines any intimacy and the two spend the night that way, on top of the covers, dressed until morning and Assvaldo's sweet, solicitous mood has not changed.

Sonia announces she's going to take up singing again.  There is a small crack in the Ass's newfound sweetness but Sonia informs him she's telling him, not asking him.  Ooops!  In the middle of her "I am Woman" declaration she has to run to the potty! 

Later Sonia is practicing singing at the piano and I'd hoped it would be good but, alas, at least to me it sounded like a cat with menstrual cramps.  Assvaldo interrupts with an overenthusiastic smile which betrays his inner cringing and he makes a gracious exit as Julieta enters.  Julieta is glad she's going to resume her career and is so overjoyed about a new development in the search for her daughter!  Julieta is all prepared to tell Sonia more when Ooops!  Sonia has to run to the potty again!

A few minutes later, at the Rancho Sergio and Julieta are at the computer.  He wants to upload the picture of Julieta's daughter's adoptive father.  Julieta isn't so sure it's a good idea but is convinced by a nice note he puts with the picture.  "Help us to find this good man.  Do you know him?  Please share this picture!"

Let's cut away for a moment!  Here's cutie pie Betito but he's with that sleaze ball daddy of his.  Anibal blathers on about how he's going to get his revenge on Julieta AND Diana for all the grief they've caused him so he's watching social media to. . .hey, what's this!?  He pulls up the picture of Fiorella's adoptive father just posted by Sergio.  "Ah, look at your daddy's luck!  I know who my first target is going to be!"  He grins wickedly.

At this same moment, Julieta tells Sergio how Sonia got sick and suddenly and had to run out while they were talking a few minutes ago.  Sergio waves that off as a bit of unimportant gossip. . . .hey, look!  Somebody's already responded to his post!  "I know the guy in the picture!" reads the message.  Sergio and Julieta are excited and prepare to answer! 

Sonia has ended her first practicing session and is back in their bedroom wearing a two-piece outfit which Assvaldo admires, telling her she looks pretty in it.  She reminds him he bought it for her a year ago.  Sonia is still a little chilly.  Assvaldo wonders if they will always be distant with each other like this.  He reminds her that he apologized, said he was wrong; he doesn't want to lose her but he hopes she loses her attitude. . .Ooops!  Off to the potty again!  Assvaldo thinks Sonia couldn't face his heavy truths and sighs.

Back to Petey, Fifi and the gang!   Eloisa apologizes to Fiorella for having treated her so badly for so long!  She has a debt with Fiorella for being such a witch.  Fiorella, of course, is understanding:  Eloisa was just protecting her grandson!  Long story short, Fifi accepts Eloisa's apology and Fiorella thanks Eloisa for asking for her forgiveness and "for pulling out the hair of Ratana!"  Giggles!  Granny thanks Fiorella for being so understanding and sympathetic to her!  Awwwww!

Ratana, her peeps and former bestie   Ratana throws a hissy fit and tells her parents she's tired of being their puppet and we can't blame her:  they were already lining up their next victim!  Jeezopete!  She tells them to stuff their next estafa where the sun don't shine!  She's outta there and next we catch up with her having lunch with her bestie, Alina.  Aitana is busy trying to piss and moan about how Assvaldo used her when Alina has the nerve to share that she also took a ride on the A-train!  SAY WHAT???  Aitana is highly pissed that Alina never told her!  A bestie worth her salt would've given her an ass hole alert on Assvaldo!  Aitana declares she is a bad psychologist and worse friend, never wants to see her again and baptizes her face with water, leaving Alina gasping and blinking!

Finally, let's wrap up with Petey and Fifi!  Pedro conspires with the Angeles house staff to throw Fiorella a surprise birthday party.  He successfully gets her over to Rey and Adela's where Quina, Simoneta, Gianna and, of course, Rey and Adela throw her an enthusiastic and raucous party complete with Italian-flag-themed cake.  Part of her surprise is. . .get ready for it. . . .Eloisa!!!  Yah.  Anyway, Fidel brings Eloisa and after the gathering gets over the shock they all boogie down.  WHOOO HOOO!!  WEEEE!!!

Later, Eloisa has shaken her groove thang enough and is ready to go home.  Aye, no!  Pedro doesn't want her to go just yet.  There's something he wants to say and he thinks this is the indicated time.   Uh oh, Fifi visibly stiffens but Petey forges ahead.  

"I want to tell you I'm the happiest man on earth because I've got the most wonderful, beautiful, the most extraordinary woman by my side and I want everyone to know. . . Fiorella and I are married!"  A mariachi band enters and begins playing a right feisty and joyous Mexican ditty and good thing so nobody hears the deafening crash that sounded when Eloisa's smile hit the bricks!

Aye, LILA--things were really moving along quickly tonight and your recap caught it all, thank you! As always, your own special brand of snark just puts a smile on my face.

The birthday party was super fun to watch but Pedro's marriage announcement bomb was cringe-worthy. Eloisa's newly-found sympathy with the "lower classes" has dissolved rather quickly; good thing Pedro couldn't see the look on his Granny's face!

More anguish for poor Pilar as she discovers her own tomb in the Cementario, oh noes! I really wish she would fall into some kind, caring hands. Soon.

More later, thank you again Lila!

J in Oregon


 

You so funny Lila and love your word pictures.

"He does and follows her swishing, swirling, pink hemline out of the de la Riva's house, carrying her bags"

"Sonia is practicing singing at the piano and I'd hoped it would be good but, alas, at least to me it sounded like a cat with menstrual cramps"

I'm pulling for Sonia but..... the Petey baby daddy thing and not foiling the murder attempt but still speaking to Osvaldo the deal breaker for me.

Pilar at her own tomb well done, so well done it didn't seem part of the same TN. It hit me this woman was locked up and tormented for 20 years. Twenty years! We've been told it was long ago, I saw the tattoos, him ride a motorcycle and sit in a big chair behind a desk but never got my head around Petey being nearly 30. Me, Fifi and Petey are an immature 14.

So, Petey & Fifi's plan was to ease Fifi close to Eloisa, prove how wonderful a girl she is and bam, drop the bomb. It never occurred to them Elosia may not appreciate being lied to and made a fool? Well it wouldn't to a spoiled little boy.


 

Hi, Lila. This was just a great retelling! I want you to know that your dedication to this project is wonderful. Thank you so much!

Loved your "ride on the A-train" and "asshole alert."

Well, Sonia showed us that her reasoning powers are powers of ten better than Osvaldo's. And she's not taking any more of his male supremacy crap either! But, uh, oh, she keeps throwing up! Looks like the first Angeles nieto is on the way. Why doesn't she faint? That is the telenovela gold standard diagnostic sign for pregnancy.

Eloisa was presented with her mid-term exam in relating to the lower classes, and she flunked miserably. With all her new-found admiration for Fi, and insight into how bad Aitana is, she still doesn't get it!?

Fed is just Fed, isn't she? Causing damage in everything she touches, and in this case, a mentally unstable Pilar.

So, Vitto is broke? And he's helping Diana? Is he being rehabilitated? He still looks sinister to me.

Loved Pedro's unabashed grin when he proudly told all and sundry about his marital status with Fi, and I loved how he couldn't see the effect of his announcement on his grandmother's face.

I hope Eloisa attempts to throw both of them off the ranch, and that they both go without regrets, leaving El alone without competent help either personally or for the corporation.

Thanks again, Lila. You are a hero!

David
 

Buongiorno a tutti!

Mille grazie, J in Oregon! Yah, J, that announcement went off like a lead balloon! Ouch! Granny was so negatively gobsmacked, he should have felt it!

ITA! Pilar is breaking my heart!


Grazie tantissimo, Tofita! Tofie, I'm feeling you on Sonia. I think she was first in line in underestimating herself. Her play for Pedro was a sickening and pitiful demonstration of that. She snagged the Ass and then thought she could go for something better once she was in the inner sanctum of the Angeles. Never coming clean with her lie was really wrong of her. I thought the apology scene with her and the Ass was really well done.

Pilar at the tomb as well. Very moving. Hey. I'm going to add a little something to that scene.

And, uh, yah, the "we're married" thing bomb. You could see Fifi was surprised and I don't think she wanted to rip it like that. Hoo boy! What will be the wrath of Eloisa!
 

David! Grazie, fratello, mille grazie!

They sure beat us over the head with Sonia's nausea, didn't they? David, this cracks me up!

Why doesn't she faint? That is the telenovela gold standard diagnostic sign for pregnancy.

Yah, Elo flunked, BIG TIME and with Anibal plotting havoc against Julieta, looks like the reveal of Fifi as the offspring of rich, high-born parents is going to be waylaid for some time!

So, Vitto is broke? And he's helping Diana? Is he being rehabilitated? I think they're trying, bro!

I hope Eloisa attempts to throw both of them off the ranch, and that they both go without regrets, leaving El alone without competent help either personally or for the corporation.

Would serve her right, wouldn't it? What an ungrateful wretch Elo is! Eh, maybe the old bird will come around. You know she just got religion two days ago, we can't expect her to stop sinning so soon.


Grazie ancora, David!
 

Lila, I'll give you Fifi didn't see the revel coming but she has ignored her deceit. She's been right up in it with Eloisa and enjoying the spoils. Petey feebly tried to speak to Eloisa as an adult before, didn't get his way, so instead of facing the consequences of a decision to be with Fifi like a man, the coddled, spoiled rotten favorite little boy in him preferred to manipulate grandma.

I'm no fan of Eloise, have no problem with Fifi buttering her bread, if Fifi wasn't deceiving her and sneaking off to wrinkle her dress couple times daily.

Only way Fifi and Petey leave the house and strike out on their own is if Fifi gets her own castle in the end. Feel bad for Fifi though. Grandma powdered Petey's bum and when he leaves her house Fifi will have to do it.
 

Lila - Thank you for the recap!!! A snarktastic masterpiece and I love your title!!! Muchacha Italiana ya está casado ---- snort!
Your paragraph re: riding the A-train is a hoot. So is your spot on description of Sonia singing. (Ohhh, my ears!)

The power shift between Sonia and Os was quite evident, last night. I hate that she is preggers and will always be tied to Os by a child. David - yes, I also was wondering 'where are the mareos?', that gold standard of telenovela pregnancy. Maybe she ate some bad food??? We can only hope.

Vitto and Diana belong together because they are two deceitful peas in a pod. I am sad that Diana's mother died, because she was a nice lady.

Apparently, fraternizing with the help doesn't mean it's okay for your grandson to marry the help.
Simona's whistle was driving me bonkers. Gah...
Which reminds me . . . why hasn't Domingo tried to meet her, after he was so enamored at the wedding?

.
 

Tofie, you know I have to say Fifi's good if it's deceit because I totally don't think about how she's keeping this bit of news away from Eloisa so I guess she's won me over as well. I know she is half the marriage and it's her story as well but somehow I see it more as Pedro's place to tell Eloisa. Fiorella has done a great job looking out for Elo's interests and keeping Pedro in the loop about the dirt Benigno and company were doing to ACorp, even when Pedro was still with Aitana and treating her like crap. She has continued in her role as informant, keeping Pedro apprised of what's going on and even being his eyes at one point. Fiorella's role has been crucial in keeping ACorp from going belly up. Yah, Pedro could be more of a man about it and take Granny somewhere and LOCK THE DOOR and talk to her but it didn't happen. They both thought the signs were there for Granny to accept their relationship and Pedro took the plunge thinking that the announcement on Fiorella's birthday was a deserving present to Fiorella.

Fiorella and Pedro are adults, able to make their own decisions including to marry. They don't need Eloisa's permission but did want her blessing. They are married and she can get laid in a floral dress and stiletto boots if she wants to, Petey's her lawfully wedded husband and Eloisa is going to have to suck it up like a big glob of snot!
 

Doris! Grazie tantissimo! Now I have to go back and see what Simona's whistling was about! And yep, they're cheating us out of a cute romance between Domingo and Simoneta. Poor Domingo! He is so dedicated to Vitto and La Dolce Vita. For his sake alone I hope the restaurant can be saved!
 

Yeah, Fifi doesn't have a mean bone in her body and while surprisingly clever at times like Lassie, she's not smart enough to come up with and execute a plan like Sonia. This whole mess wouldn't be messy had Petey sucked it up and told granny. Why didn't he? What is he afraid of? Let's say granny threw him out, why is that a bad thing for a 30 year old dude? I think the timing is as much about him knowing granny won't put a blind boy out as it is Eloisa letting Fifi and the staff soil their own clothes at work. No matter, Eloisa's trust in Fifi is broken now and she just might throw her out. Guess I get to see Petey fight for their love again and threaten not to eat his peas until Fifi returns.
 

Nah, she won't throw her out. Like it or not, she's Pedro's but it will be interesting to see what kind of fit she's going to throw. They've got enough time for a whole lot of shenanigans that will impact Eloisa's relationship with Petey and Fifi and Pedro may actually be gaining courage since he's deprived of visual cues from Granny. Visual cues are powerful!
 

Lila, you continue to amaze recap after recap. A hearty round of applause!!

I love the image of El's "smile hit the bricks". She was NOT a happy camper and I'm not so sure Petey should have pulled that rabbit out of the hat the way he did. But whatever, can't get it back in, so we move on. Rabbit fur will be flying tonight. For Eloisa, you can love the masses I guess as long as you don't marry one.

David, you took the words right out of my mouth. How refreshing though that we didn't get the fainting for once. But oh, I don 't know, maybe if you keep getting nauseous, spanx type outfits aren't such a great idea. The black thing...yikes. So another baby Asshat. 3rd time the charm because honestly, I may have my issues with Sonia, but that would be hard to watch having her lose another child.

Methinks we have not heard the last of hairball. She is going to want to take her frustrations out on someone. Guesses? I'm thinking thin, black hair and a penchant for floral dresses.

Pilar broke my heart. Now get her away from Freddie.

Daisynjay
 

Lila- I am so in awe of all the wonderfully witty recaps you give us day after day. Thank you so much. I missed this episode, but hopefully there will be a repeat of the announcement and Eloisa's face falling. I'm just glad the secret is out. Time for Fi to finally get her place as Pedro's wife, whether that be inside the mansion or outside of it (when Eloisa kicks them out).

Poor, poor Pilar!

So, Ass was turned on by Sonia's power play. I'm not surprised. Not happy to hear that a baby is on the way again. These two are not parental material, and Ass Jr. really didn't need to pass on those genes.
 

Grazie tanto, Daisynjay!

HA! I wish I had a screen shot of Eloisa's face when Pedro announced they were married! This would have been a terrific caption:

For Eloisa, you can love the masses I guess as long as you don't marry one.

So another baby Asshat. 3rd time the charm because honestly, I may have my issues with Sonia, but that would be hard to watch having her lose another child..

ITA! That actress does pain and suffering well and I'm not ready to be re-exposed to that! Pilar is enough!

Oh yah, Hairball seeking vengeance against Fifi! It's gotta happen. I think we have a whole crapload of shows left! Yikes!
 


Hey, Vivi! Grazie tantissimo! Tonight they should lead with that facial 180 Granny pulled last night! Yowza!

Yes, Ass boy was turned on by Sonia's power play BIGTIME. You could hear him drooling! No, they're not parental material but unless Sonia had a bad case of diarrhea, she must be preggers. Another little Ass on the way!

Gosh. Assvaldo has got to take the prize for the funnest nickname ever! There are so many permutations and spin offs to play with!

Guess I'd better do some work stuff. See y'all later!
 

I wonder if the fact that Sonia has not fainted is a way for the authors to imply that she is a very strong woman. She is clearly skating circles around her husband in every way. I wish that she had started her return to her singing career by singing in the shower instead of doing it where other people could hear her.

I don't remember ever having seen this actress work before, but I think she is doing a very good job playing this role.

David
 

Lila, just wonderful.

"Freddie eeks out a couple of sobs for her father", "Assvaldo interrupts with an overenthusiastic smile which betrays his inner cringing" and "Eloisa has shaken her groove thang enough and is ready to go home" were among my favorites.

Sonia as a master grifter - who'd have thunk it? She played her part perfectly and Osvaldo was walking behind her like a dog on a leash. Well deserved. Do we believe for one moment he was repentant and plans to change his cheating ways? Nopis.

So Raitana (throwing what may have been cool coffee) loses the one and only friend she likely has. She is just so nasty and vile. Can we hope this is the last we see of her and her odious parents?

Whatever was Pedro thinking - he knew Eloisa would not accept Fiorella as his wife, let alone announcing it at a party??? And Eloisa's spirits dropping as fast as the stock market was hard to watch. Guess it's fine to socialize with the lower class but having your grandson marry into it is out of the question apparently.

Diana
 

Sonia may be a strong woman and saved A-Corp's rear, but she still had that fling with Fabio, so she cannot fault Assvaldo for his own straying.

Could we be so lucky as to have Eloisa suffer a fatal cardiac from the "somos casados!", not yet had time to change her will yet again, so that Fi actually DOES inherit 50%?
 

Sonia in a way could be this TN's most interesting character is they would write her correctly. She had a lazy, alchoholic mother which explains why she grew up the way she did, her belief the only way to a man or to get what you want is under the sheets and little self esteem to really believe she could be anything but a side bar to someone else's story. She married a man who looked at her simply as a trophy wife and he had little respect for her.

Now she pulled off the kill, did something smart that her supposed brain-child husband couldn't come close to pulling off. All his hairbrain schemes and plans--it was hers that made the day in the end.

But seeing her crying last night was to me a bit of an eye opener. I think she's thrown away the Sonia that existed, she KNOWS she has it on the ball, but all she really knows is singing since it was her self-controlled career when she met scum-bag. She feels stuck in that marriage, doesn't trust her husband ( but wishes she could), and her finances are tied to the family. So she's back to perform maybe to try and see if she can earn her own livelihood and gain some independence. To that I say, good for her. I don't trust Asshat as far as I can throw him (which isn't far.) And with a baby, I think she feels she needs to be in control for once and make sure this baby survives.

I keep remembering that Fabio is back to being single and seems to have learned the error of his former ways. Anyone else thinking those two might get together permanently?

Daisynjay
 

Lila, what a GREAT recap - too many good lines to repeat here, but riding the A train was just inspired. I love it! I haven't seen this one yet, but your great prose allowed me to picture Eloisa's face at the marriage reveal.
Hey, don't we want Pedro to provide the first grandchild? Any chance Fiorella could be expecting, too?
Ann C
 

David at 11:06, ITA! This actress is doing a WONDERful job. Despite her baby daddy lie (whcih we know she didn't clear up with Pedro OR Assvaldo) and her nastiness to Fiorella, I find myself feeling for her, when Ass apologized, I felt her tears and I loved how she put the dlRPs in their place and that she did actual research to expose their game, I don't want her to lose another baby and I even was disappointed that her singing was crappy. (Maybe it'll get better) and all because the actress is making Sonia believeable and attractive in her vulnerability.


Diana! Ciao e mille grazie! I agree, I don't think there's any chance of Assvaldo straigtening up!

I wait with you to see how the hairball is going to return. Hey! What if she teams up with Anibal? She's looking for entertainment and I'm sure he's ready with the kind of fun and games she likes AAAAND, I'm sure she'd be happy to join with him in his revenge against Julieta. I know that's not her target but she'd love to hav access to the Angeles household again.
 

Grazie tanto, Ann C!

Hey, don't we want Pedro to provide the first grandchild? Any chance Fiorella could be expecting, too?

Excellent point! Well, with the marriage public knowledge now we'll probably have a baby bump race!
 

Had a comment I swear I posted, but the posting gods took it by way of Papa Chula. One minute there, the next sorely missed.

Wanted to say on Sonia, I think that character had so much potential to really tell a great story, but the writing wasn't always there with her. I think the actress has been good, but maybe someone more able to give those subtlety in her acting. There were times I think we weren't sure which way she was really going.

I get she had a fling with Fabio ( more on that) and tried the fake daddy with Petey, but she was a woman with a alcoholic, greedy mother who basically taught her daughter her only worth and means to be something was what she did between the sheets. She married money, and I think loves Asshat in a way, but she is more than aware he's a worthless SOB with one brick short of a brain.

Now that she plotted, planned and successfully got rid of the Mega Dust Mite and her sperm donors, I think the light bulb went on that she may want to believe Asshat, operative want, but she has to depend on her self...thus going back to singing (lord help us viewers.) That's what she knows, and apparently people do think she's good at it. In the show. Bless the actress. Anyway, I wouldn't throw Asshat as far as I can throw him, and with Eloisa ticked off at Petey, I can see him moving in for top spot all over again. Sonia should just steer clear.

I also keep remembering that Fabio is a single man and apparently learned the lesson of his wayward ways. I can't help but wonder if he and Sonia don't wind up together when this is all over? I'm at a point where I think there's enough of a positive in her that I want her away from that jerk Asshat.

Daisynjay
 

Week after week, day after day, you turn out such fabulous recaps Lila. And such a way with words...[Oswaldo]follow her swishing swirling pink hemline out of the de la Riva house, carrying her bags."

Well, as far as I'm concerned he can continue shuffling behind her carrying her bags for the rest of the story. Interesting switch as she's becoming dominant and he's losing ground. But oh, had to agree with you completely-- her singing is a disaster...like "a cat with menstrual cramps" indeed! So many of these actors and actresses are good singers as well, I'm surprised that they picked this gal (pretty though she is) to play the part of a once-professional chanteuse.

Oh well.

Rather like Vittorio in his new and noble role. I for one would be quite happy to see the two of them together caring for little Beto and running the restaurant. Perhaps with Beningo and Simona's help!

Thanks Lila. Awesome as always.
 

Lila, energetic recap. I love it. I think Eloisa is a fony and she's full of it.
As I said berfore fi is good enough to clean
Her house, but not good enough to be in her
Nasty family. She is such a hypocrite.
She is the worst kind id snob, the kind that
Thinks she isn't.
When is fi going to get tired of her insulting
Snobiness. She can tell her off she is now her grandma Inlaw, families do it all the time. I hope pedro don't let her pull him down. Shes no better Than maximo. diana is wondering what she did to cause all this loss well she's not really very nice. Manipulative and she lies. Sorry her mom died and baby got kidnapped, but She brought on hersrlf and her family. I hope She gets het baby back. Anibal is slimmy.

What if sonia's preggers?
Asstana and her dead beat parents, I don't
Care!!!!
 

Oh man, Daisy! Would've loved to see your Papi Chulo post! I love this whole comment on Sonia! Very insightful and even has a nice zinger:

Now that she plotted, planned and successfully got rid of the Mega Dust Mite and her sperm donors. . .


Ciao e mille grazie, JudyB! Wow! Some love for Vitto! I love your bravery in saying so. No, he's not bad since he got over being in heat for Fiorella and then got out of vengeance mode. Not becoming for that old dude! ITA, for Domingo's sake I wouldn't mind seeing the restaurant saved and Diana and Vitto together. She'd end up getting what she intended in the first place. What a hell she created with the lie she told about Beto! She sure is being punished for that!


Nina! Grazie, honey! Yep, I see we agree on Diana. Let her get Beto back and somebody, anybody, please put Anibal UNDER the jail house!
 

Finally caught up, thanks so much for the recap and also the ones from most of last week

I loved your entire description of the scene between Sonia and Beg - just awesome


Wow! stuff is finally happening and who knew Sonia would be so competent

I totes hate Aitana but she was right about Alina being a terrible shrink




tofie - I liked this "Me, Fifi and Petey are an immature 14." - right there with ya
 

I think alina and papi chulo would make a good couple. Now that shes learned her lesson, I hope. When shes not messed up with assyhoo.
ITA Tofie, please no more bad seeds, they do not need assvaldo lll. Thats just bad voodoo.
I hate seeing that big ox thteaten pilar. I just keep hoping pedro would catch him and lay
Him out with a big stick.
 


Mille grazie, Sneaky! Stuff IS happening! So glad you're caught up! See ya round the Patio, Sneaky!
 


Thank you Lila for this wonderful recap. The scene of Assvaldo telling Sonia that he loves her and recognizing himself as a patan was great. Is the arrogant Ass melting down or it was just a moment of remorse or guilt that he had because Sonia saved him? By the way, he had a strange craving in the scene where Sonia was playing the piano. Cheese icecream with blackberries and chocolate chips. What the heck, does that exist?

Mariagna Pratts is doing a wonderful job playing the poor defenseless Pilar even when her only lines are Maximo no and the truth is in Albano. That scene of her crying in the cemetery was amazing.
 

Buongiorno, Marla! e mille grazie! Yes. I loved the scene with Assvaldo apologizing. I thought they both did a great job. For a moment there was a glimmer of what Osvaldo could have been had he not been molded into the shape of an ass by his father. I fear it is not lasting, Marla. Unless they are going to try to redeem him with the birth of a child, probably a son. Remember, though, we haven't heard him say that Sonia's plan has quenched his thirst for Pedro's blood. If we see that, then we may be on to something.

Here is something I missed, Marla:

Cheese icecream with blackberries and chocolate chips. What the heck, does that exist?

So Assvaldo is having cravings in anticipation of Sonia's pregnancy? I think it is also a little funny bone they threw us as they have been good at!

Again, totally agree with you on Mariagna Pratts! Pilar is breaking my heart!
