Pasion y Poder #105, Wednesday March 16, 2016

Lo Nuevo

Connie suffers alone, missing little Erick. Regina comes to visit her. Regina pours her heart out about seeing David and Dani together. Connie reminds her that she is now with Jorge. Regina wanted to get David away from her family, but now he's back in because of Dani. Connie says that because of one thing or another, neither of them can be with the one they love.

Eladio comes home to his empty hotel room. David comes knocking at the door. Apparently Eladio asked him to come over to tell him that he is "giving" Julia a divorce. He still loves Julia and he asks David not to judge his mother because he (Eladio) has made alot of mistakes in the past. He now understands that Arturo may be her happiness. David is impactado.

Julia is crying while she looks at a picture of Eladio. Hummy rolls in and asks what's wrong, what did Eladio tell her. She tells him that Eladio is going to give her the divorce. Hummy is fine with the idea. Julia leaves the room and Hummy calls Art to tell him the news. He leaves him a message and reminds him that he owes him big time. Hummy thinks that he deserves a trip to Las Vegas from Art.

Connie and Regina talk about their lost loves. Connie thinks Regina still has time to get back with David, but Regina doesn't think so. Regina cries that she sacrificed herself so that others wouldn't have to suffer, and she and Connie think that Art should have done the same with regards to Julia. Connie thinks that Regina's sacrifice wasn't worth it and she should try to win David back but Regina says it's too late because David already chose Dani, and she chose Jorge. Connie says that Regina's making a mistake and to be careful because she could end up hurting Jorge too.

David apologizes to Eladio for telling him about Art going to visit Julia at the house. He thinks that that caused Eladio to lose hope in getting back with Julia. Eladio reassures him that that is not the case. Eladio tells him that up until yesterday he wanted to tell Julia that the happiness they had was worth fighting for, but what's the sense in wanting her if she loves someone else? David is affected by their separation, but he thinks it's for the best. He just asks that Eladio not leave Julia unprotected, at least not until Julia and Artu...(oops, David just stuck his foot in his mouth by almost mentioning Arturo's name). He apologizes once again. David will understand if he doesn't want to give anything to Julia. Eladio tells him that everything that he built, everything that he gained, everything that he has was for his mother. Tears stream down Eladio's face as he says that it was all for her, thinking about her. The pain is heard in his voice when he says that none of it worked and he's not going to fight with Julia now. He still loves Julia, so much so that if she were to ask he would give her everything he has because without her.... with everything he has, with all the power, with all the money, he is a miserable man. He is nothing.

Julia talks with Simona. She says that for years she wanted to divorce Eladio, but now that it's a reality it hurts her to loose him. Simona tells her to tell Eladio how she feels, but Julia won't do it. She won't humiliate herself. Besides, she knows that when Eladio makes a decision he doesn't change his mind, plus she needs to have some dignity. Julia knows she will never be able to forgive him for the Franco situation. Simona comments that it's a pity that Eladio waited too long to change. Julia says that he changed so much that he's not even willing to fight for her.

Art's on the phone with Hummy promising to give him what he wants. Auggie walks in and sees that Art is super happy. Art tells him that Nina is finally going to give him the divorce. Miguel comes in with bad news. He shows Art a news story about protests at the site of their new project. They know this will give them alot of bad publicity.

Regina walks into the house while Dani is saying goodnight to David over the phone. Regina wants to know if Dani really loves David, or is she doing this just to get back at Regina. Dani says she is serious about David and she has no reason to give explanations to Regina because Regina is the one who left David. Regina says that Dani went looking for him without caring that he was their father's lover's son. Dani thinks Regina should have learned to manage things better. It's not her fault that Regina doesn't know how to fight for what she wants. Regina had her opportunity, and now Dani is going to do everything possible to make David forget about Regina. Regina is at least relieved that Dani recognizes that David still loves her (Regina). Dani says that's for now, and Regina shouldn't be pissed because she is the one that brought Dani closer to David because of what she(Regina) did. She also tells Regina not to play the victim. Regina tells Dani that she doesn't understand a thing. Dani tells Regina to pay more attention to her boyfriend Jorge, she will take care of David. Because now she swears to Regina that she will never leave him (David). Regina looks like she made the biggest mistake of her life, or maybe she just had some bad chinese food.

Art scolds Erick for not thouroughly researching the Myan project. It's now going to cost them more money, that's even if they give them permission to build. Art thinks that Erick hasn't learned a thing. Erick says he didn't want to give Art any problems, especially now, with the way things are going with his mother. Erick knows that Art left the house the night before and that he is leaving the house to Nina. He wants to know how Art plans to divide his assets. Art tells Erick to leave him alone. Erick leaves the office.

Nina and Regina have a chat. Nina doesn't understand why Regina broke up with David. Regina says she did it out of respect for Nina, because he is Julia's son, but that it didn't matter to Dani. Nina tells her she didn't have to do that and that she should have asked her before breaking it off with David. I bet Regina wishes she had a DeLorean right about now. Nina prefers Regina be with David than with Jorge. Regina doesn't want her mother talking bad about Jorge because he's a good guy. Nina says it's not the same being with a good guy, than being with the man you love. Regina doesn't think she could be happy with David. Nina knows she is suffering because she heard her crying last night. Nina tells her that she signed the divorce and that Art is leaving her the house to be with Julia.

Art and Hummy are talking in Art's office. Art promises to take Hummy to Vegas, and to give him some money for helping him. Hummy expects Art to make Julia happy and to not hurt her again. Art says that he learned his lesson, and it took him more than 25 years to be without Julia, but life is going to compensate him because now Julia will be with him, the way it should have always been.

Caridad walks into Eladio's office and finds him feeling like crap. He says he had a bad night. Franco is listening at the OPEN door and overhears Eladio saying that he and Julia are getting a divorce and that it was his idea.

Jorge and Regina are dining at a restaurant. Jorge tells her that she is super special to him. They kiss. FF>>

Franco tells Caridad that since Eladio is getting a divorce, now's her chance to win him back.

Petra and Dani are out on the patio and start taking selfies together. Petra wants to show them to her envious friends. Nina comes up and wants Petra to bring her a tea. Petra asks for Art (el senor). Nina tells her that he no longer lives there. Petra can't believe that he pulled a Miguelazo and left without saying goodbye. Nina wants to talk to Dani about David. Is she serious about him or just out to hurt her sister. Dani says she is serious about David. Nina wishes that Dani had more loyalty to her sister and the family. Dani says that she is practical and not dumb. If Regina left David to be in good graces with you then that's her problem. Nina tells Dani that Regina didn't have to do that for her and she told her. NIna is just glad that Dani is no longer with Assmore because he is too old for her. Dani tells Nina that Assmore is still calling her and leaving her messages. She wants to send him away the next time he calls. Nina tells her to be very careful because he has alot of money and still has business dealings with Art. Dani needs to figure a way to get Assmore out of her life.

Caridad tells Franco that she can't force things with Eladio because he still loves Julia. Caridad won't do anything until Eladio is divorced. Franco thinks that she needs to learn to fight for what she wants. He sees the way his mother looks at Eladio and knows that she still loves him. Caridad admits she has feelings for Eladio but doesn't want to committ the same mistakes from the past. Franco says that it's a shame because another woman is going to take that chance and Caridad will loose her opportunity. He tells her to think about it. Right now Eladio is depressed and vulnerable. It's the perfect moment to get close to him, for him to remember why he was with Caridad. He tells her to do it little by little, discretely. Don't let another woman take him from you! Franco hugs his mother, then Caridad walks away and leaves Franco with a huge smile on his face.

Julia is at a therapy session.

Therapist: "Would you have preferred to be the one to ask Eladio for the divorce?"

Julia: " What hurts me is that he doesn't care about fighting anymore."

T: "He fought for years. You told me you felt like you were in a golden cage, very secure, but without freedom."

J: "But I was accustomed to that."

T: "Now that cage is open, you can be free to do what you want."

J: "Yes, but it scares me. It scares me."

T: "That's only for the time being, but it could be worth it if you can be happy. Tell me Julia, what are you going to do with that freedom?"

J: "I still don't know if my happiness is with Eladio, despite everything we have been through."

T: "Don't act prematurely. After you are divorced, you can see how you feel alone. How you feel with Arturo or with Eladio. Who you miss more."

J: " Who do I miss more? No, no, no, I can't even think about that right now. It scares me."

T: "Well then, is it easier for you to think that they both want to be with you, without you first defining your feelings?"

Eladio and David talk about the Art not being able to complete the Myan project. Eladio thinks they can come up with an environmentally friendly project.

Erick is trying to convince Art that they just have to wait for things to calm down, then they will be able to begin work on the Myan project. Auggie comes into the office and tells them they have bigger problems. They received a warning from the Businessman's Association. They want Art to forget about the project. Art knows that Eladio is behind this.

Fanny and Nina talk. Fanny knows that Art left Nina the house because she is dating Rueda. Fanny also found out that Dani is dating David, but she found that out through social media. Nina is worried about Regina, but the only good thing about Dani and David is that it will hurt and frustrate Julia.

Caridad tries to get close to Eladio by bringing him coffee. He is frustrated by her and he wants her to stay away. She knows him well and knows he is suffering. Art interupts them and confronts Eladio. Eladio lets Art know that several companies, including his, are now interested in doing the Myan project the correct way. Art thinks it's Eladio's way of vengeance for taking Julia away. Art says he's now going to concentrate on what most interest him. Art recalls Eladio telling him that he had what Art wanted the most, Julia. Now that the divorce is on, Julia will come back to where she belongs, with me. She's going to be mine, and only mine. Eladio tells Art that Julia can't forgive him for what happened with Franco, but that she loves Eladio. Art can't come in and erase all the years they have lived together. Art states they are years of suffering and humiliation. Art says Eladio hurt Julia because he knew that Julia married him loving Art. But life is now paying Julia back for everything she went through while being married to Eladio. She has another chance to be happy with me (Art). Eladio thinks that's great and then tells Art to get the heck out! Art runs into David on his way out. David asks why Art was there. Eladio says Art was there to rub the divorce in his face. They think the only person he could have heard it from is Julia. Damn you, Hummy! I can't wait for Julia to find out what her dear ol' dad has been up to.

Jorge tells Regina about a new project that Art gave him. FF>> He wants to work on the project with Regina, but she doesn't want to.

Eladio thinks that maybe Julia fooled herself into thinking that she loved Eladio, therefore causing her more pain when she found out the truth. Eladio thinks that maybe Art is right. Maybe life is now compensating Julia for all she suffered being married to him. David agrees and says that Art is now supporting Julia. Eladio has concluded that Julia is not suffering because of their separation and he accepts that as his punishment.

Jorge doesn't think that working with Regina will be the same as when she worked with David. FF>> He won't be acting jealous. He knows that the day Regina doesn't want to be with him she will tell him. She promises to be sincere with him. He tells her not to worry, they don't have to work together if she doesn't want to.

Hummy rolls in wanting to talk with Julia about her pension from Eladio. Julia doesn't want anything from him. Hummy is impactado. She also tells him that they need to cut their spending budget too.

Gaby gives Caridad a birthday gift. Gaby confides that she is worried that she won't be able to get pregnant. Caridad offers to go with her to the Gyno to get her test results. Gaby tells her not to worry, Julia is going with her, but asks her not to tell Franco.

We see Dani sitting in a restaurant, then we see Auggie and Connie at that same restaurant, but at another table far away. Dani has asked Julia to meet her there. Dani tells Julia that she is serious about her relationship with David. Connie and Auggie talk about her child custody case. Connie is angry that she can't be with her son or with the man she loves. Connie turns and sees Dani and Julia together.

Caridad tells Franco that she feels guilty about lying to Gaby. Franco tells her to either stay away from Gaby or from her grandson. He thinks the best solution is for her to stay away from Gaby. But first she should fix up her house because it's horrible.

Julia thinks that Dani sounds very convincing. Julia tells her that things don't always turn out the way you expect. Dani doesn't think it's a sin for her and David to be together, and Julia agrees, but Regina doesn't think the same way. Dani is well aware how much pain her mother has gone through with the divorce, but she loves David so much she is willing to have a relationship with Julia. She is not like her sister. She is willing to defend her relationship with David. And she thinks that Julia should do the same with her (Dani's) father.

Miguel goes to see Connie at her apartment. He doesn't want Connie to be without her son and him too. She says she is being punished, and that she will never to able to be happy. She tells him that she loves him and begs him to leave. He does.

Franco meets with the accountant from the other day. He tells him to find a way to steal money from the company. With that money they will secretly start buying company shares. The accountant asks what happens if they get caught. Franco tells him that won't happen. Sorry patio peeps, but this is where my recording stopped. I don't know if anything happened after this scene.

Good Morning!
Hope you enjoy the recap. As always feel free to add anything I forgot, or correct what I got wrong.

Have a Great Day!
Hasta Pronto!

p.s. I saw the last minutes of Sueno de Amor. I forgot how hot Cristian De la Fuente is. Like Susanlynn would say, "Just sayin'!"
 

Good morning, AuntyAnn. Thank you for that excellent retelling.

Wow..bad\sad\mad\not much glad. All the emotions were bubbling up in this episode. The glad part was mostly Old Humbug............
.VIVA LAS VEGAS !

Note to Reg: Hey, girl, if you drop something and walk away, chances are someone will come along and pick it up. Boo and hoo.

I saw the last five minutes of Sueno , and I agree that Christian is very handsome.
 

So...Are Art and Hum going on a road trip to Vegas? Wait until Julia finds out that Art has been conspiring with her greedy dad to get her back. Yuck.

Speaking of Julia, her counselor seems to have her number. She likes being desired and pursued and foughgt over by both Eladio and Art . She has been pushing Badladio away with both hands, but now she is hurt because he won't fight for her anymore. Really, Julia? This mujer needs some time alone to get her act together. She is driving me crazy.

Nina, on the other hand, seems to have turned over a new leaf along with new hairstyle, makeup, and wardrobe.

Assmore dies not seem like he plans to quietly give up his playmate. I do not think that Dani is going to be around at the end. Did she really tell Julia that she was okay with her being with Art? that means David will end up with Reg. I am really not happy with that. Reg gave up on David too quickly. I guess she never heard " Stand by Your Man."

Franky just gets greedier and more disgusting, pushing his mother to go after dad atvtge same time he is splitting against dad. There is a giant anvil directly above his big head. Pretty is as pretty does, Franky.

I need a pug in the blanket.
 

Thank you Aunty Ann :)

1.) Daniela dating David: I just don't see this lasting long!

2.) Regina & Julia are both INCOMPETENT!

3.) Franco telling Caridad to fix her own place because it's horrible: Nothing to say there!

4.) Hoping Gaby gets pregnant!

5.) Purple Lips keeping the Montenegro Mansion: She's on a roll!


 

Susanlynn: Ashmore The Stalker indeed!

Daniela is pretty much toast!
 

AuntyAnn, great work and don't worry; the last scene is continued in the refritos tonight. Mine might be a little late because I have a concert tonight.

BTW, can anyone recall hearing the accountant's name?

Franco is getting more repulsive every day. He is pushing Caridad to pursue Eladio although he has to know that this will not come to anything other than her humiliation. He grew up with Eladio and knows that he is obsessed with Julia. Nothing is going to change that. I am currently predicting that the divorce will distract Eladio just enough for Franco to begin what he intends and could end just in time for Eladio to catch him before the near-final blow. These two could end up destroying each other.

I hope Gabriela doesn't get pregnant.

Nina is right about Assmore; he's not only too old for Daniela, he's potentially dangerous. Whether he will be her downfall or not remains to be seen. If this is the case, this could lead to Nina's destruction because Erick's downfall is already a done deal in view of his transgressions.
 

Thank you so much for the fantastic recap AuntyAnn.

"Regina looks like she made the biggest mistake of her life, or maybe she just had some bad chinese food" was a great line, one of many.

"Because now she swears to Regina that she will never leave him (David)". Dani's declaration was disquieting. Nina and Eladio have both made utterances that seem to indicate they will die trying to hold onto those they love. Their feelings for Arturo and Julia are well documented here. Hearing this from Dani's lips made me wonder if she could possibly love David? Her meeting with Julia was clever and cagey. Yes, if only Regina had fought so hard, or even fought at all. I guess she never heard "Stand By Your Man" Susanlynn! What a shame ;)

Eladio's tears didn't particularly move me. There is too much to atone for, aside from the fact he continues to conceal his grandchild from Julia.

Gaby is the only person in Julia's life who hasn't betrayed her. Opinions vary (as Carlos says) as she didn't tell about Caridad but her keeping mum was done because she loves Julia and didn't want to hurt her.

I like Julia's doctor - one of the few TN physicians who dispenses thoughtful, valuable observations.

Several mentioned that Arturo and Nina will end up together in the end. While I'm not totally convinced, it could well be a possibility. I softened a bit toward Nina who did seem genuinely concerned about Regina. Her treatment of Miguel still rankles. Arturo is to blame for much of what has occurred but he has some redeeming qualities. Not a match made in heaven but a match made on earth, two mortals with flaws and all.

Diana
 

And of course, Gaby didn't tell Julia Franco was Eladio's son (I typed "sin" initially - hmmm)...

Diana
 

Thank you AuntyAnn especially the chat between Julia and her therapist.

"Regina is at least relieved that Dani recognizes that David still loves her (Regina)" Don't you worry your pretty little head Regina you are still adored and a princess.

Regina and Julia must have adoring fans, they must.

Methinks Eladio is the only person in the show that feels anything. What a fine man he could have been had he never obsessed over the undeserving Julia.

Keep on taunting Art and I cannot wait till Eladio lops off your head.

Far as rejection goes Consuela does have cause and sending the weirdo packing believable. Wished Miguel could get a clue and leave her the hell alone. He gives me the willies.

Vegas Baby!

 

In previous comments, I remarked that it was strange that Consuela doesn't ever check the front door peephole before opening the door.

Last night, it suddenly became obvious to me why she doesn't do this.

She is so short, that the peephole is about a foot above the top of her head!
 

UA the accountant's name is Marcos.
 

AuntyAnn, thanks for your clear, concise recap. Your FF>> of the Regina, Jorge conversations were appreciated and in a way symbolic of their entire relationship. I'm beginning to feel sorry for Jorge, it is obvious that he is heading for a "I Love Regina," fall as well.

Carlos, in our "I Hope They Die" table or in my case, Life Without The Possibility of Parole Table," may we interprete the "they" as two people? Just as I chose Erick, Franco seems equally as terrible or WORSE. Decisions, decisions! If we are held to only one choice, we might have to take a laptop to the patio this afternoon and do a spread sheet to make our selection, a simple pin and paper seem inadequate for their multitudes of sins.

The people at the Nina table had a good evening last night, but unlike Arturo, I have no plans for a vulgar victory lap so early before el fin!

 

Gobluefan, good point about the peephole. In a country where kidnapping is an industry you'd think that everyone would have them and use them diligently.

Gracias, Cynderella.

Yes, continue to pile hate on the victims. That's why so many don't talk about these things in the real world to any but someone they can absolutely trust. Both Julia and Regina have been emotionally abused and they want to be loved as much as anyone else. Regina had the advantage of being her father's golden child but that was due to her intelligence and her work ethic, traits that Nina never valued in her. However she also has a sister who is always trying to one-up her and a brother who would betray her at the drop of a hat. Being her father's favorite isn't enough to balance that out.

Nina also tried to force Regina to marry Joshua who would have cheated on her with Daniela. All to save her own face. When Regina finds out about the deal with the judge she will be done with Nina.
 

AuntyAnn,

This an excellent well-written recap. To give us a word for word translation of the conversation between Julia and her shrink was a great decision.

"Art thinks that Erick hasn't learned a thing."

And I think that Art is the one who hasn't learned a thing. Did he suddenly reach the conclusion that Erick is some sort of business wizard after all of Erick's screwups? He should have had someone check out Erick's proposition for this development before agreeing to it... oh wait... he did... he had Agustín look in to it and he gave it a glowing approval. Could Agustín have been distracted by his unseemly (if not entirely inappropriate) pursuit of that vulnerable pitiful naif, Gabriela? Why not at least a bit of ire directed toward his trusted toady? Amazing that this business has had the success it's had.

UA,

"Nina is right..."

I know, I know, I'm taking your words out of context, but it makes me smile just hearing you utter them.

When the time comes (and it will) I don't see Jorge going quietly into that good night... in spite of what he's saying now.

Carlos
 

That certainly was out of context, but don't forget that she has always been more concerned with protecting Daniela than protecting Regina.

While Assmore is obviously too old for Daniela (can't prove it on paper, but I think he is older than Arturo) Joshua was far too immature for Regina. Arturo spotted that with no effort. All he needed was the proof that happened in the hospital cafeteria.

Augustin is too old for Gabriela. She is too naive to be involved with anyone that age. No matter what the actor's age is off-camera, I think Augustin is meant to be close to Arturo's age.
 

Carlos..yes, Jorge looks as happy as a pug in a rug...or a blanket. Poor puppy. He is going to be dropped as soon as Reg reels Dave back in.

I feel ensnared by all the angst. H.E.L.P.

 

Wonderful recap!!

Oh how I hope Eladio doesn't take Caridad up on her obvious offer! She is sooo annoying. Always popping into his office to discuss non-work issues. She didn't even know enough to get out when Art arrived last night. He should have her down in the mailroom sorting.

Jorge isn't a bad guy. He went after what he wanted and got it, knowing Reg wasn't over David. He seems like a hard worker and is cute. Reg could do a lot worse, like Joshua.

I'll be surprised if Dani dies, now that she has turned the personality corner. I don't see how she ends up happy either though.

The best part of this show are the shrinks talking sense to these crazy people.
 

UA,

"Yes, continue to pile hate on the victims."

I'm truly trying to make an effort at being a bit less contentious (for least awhile), so I hope you don't mind me trying to clarify, just who is the subject and who are the objects of this sentence?

Carlos
 

Thank you for this so well written recap. I found myself saying "what an idiot" after every paragraph.

For once I agree with Franco. If Caridad would go home and take care of her place, she would have less time to meddle in everyone's life.

About this "pugs in a blanket" item, it threatens to offend. Pugs are to be loved, not to be eaten. I say this as my pug lies beside me, snoring.

I'm a lurker but love this forum.

Damara
 

Carlos, that comment wasn't meant for you. It was meant for those who are bashing Julia and Regina and accusing them of being spoiled princesses. They are nothing of the kind.
 

Damara,

Welcome to our little study group. Let me assure you that no Pugs (nor people for that matter) were harmed during our recent foolishness at the I Hope They Die Table and there was certainly no intention to offend any people or pooches. In fact one of our favorite characters here recently was an adorable Pug named Balzac (heh heh) in Amores Verdaderos. I think that he may have been even more popular here than Francisco (Sebastián Rulli).

Anyway, pugs in a blanket was Susanlynn's idea.

Carlos
 

Thank you AuntyAnn---I was so happy to read your recap this morning.
Regina looked like she ate some bad Chinese food--I'm still chuckling.

Las Vegas Baby! I can't wait to see the old coot in Vegas. Maybe he will drink too much and get run over crossing Las Vegas Blvd. in his hover-chair.

Every one talks about Nina's and sometimes Julia's attire. I thought that the shrinks dark brown suit, gold patterned tie and beige dress shirt was a great look. I wouldn't mind having that combo myself.

Urban said it well in her 9:48AM comment. Both Julia and Regina are emotionally weak by the mental abuse that was heaped upon them throughout their lives--Julia by Eladio and Regina by Nina. Dani said it well when she told her sister that she, Regina was too weak to fight for what she wants. Will Dani be one sad lady or out for revenge when Regina finally decides that David and no other is the man that she wants and that he is worth fighting for?

Looks like heeee's back tonight. Ashmore that is.

must see tv
the gringo


 

Regina and Julia are not spoiled princesses, they are heavenly goddess that after having been sent to earth and lived through much mental abuse have just temporarily lost their way. But no worry as all will be well soon.

the gringo
 

Now might be Eladio's last best chance to reveal all his ugly secrets to Julia. He's already agreed to give Julia her divorce and step aside for Arturo. He has absolutely nothing to lose by opening up about everything he has kept hidden, in particular the truth about Franco, Marentia, and Mateo. If for no other reason, Gabriela desperately needs to learn the truth about Franco before she gets pregnant and before he has a chance to sell her shoe factory.

I think Julia may be in a forgiving mood, especially if she learns of Arturo's and Humberto's perfidy.

Carlos
 

UA the people on this show are not real and I know that.


 

Dear Damara,

No offense was meant! I accidentally typed "pugs" instead of "pigs" in a blanket when I was asking Carlos if he was srving appetizers with drinks at his table.Think of it as a cute puppy all warm and snuggly in a blanket. I love dogs , and I have had many throughout my lifetime. Most recently, I had a beautiful black lab. My dad used to raise Springer Spaniels plus many stray dogs were left off at our farm when I was a kid, and my family always adopted them and made them beloved pets. I have never bowned avpug, but my cousin Kathy had one..Gypsy, a sweet , littke girl . So..sorry, I truly did not nesn to offend pug owners or dog lovers. I was just being silly. Carlos, always eggs me on. We would never be allowed to sit next to each other in study hall or assembly! Carlos and I just get a little carried away sometimes. P.S. Did you notice how he threw me right under the bus just now ?
 

Right Carlos---Balzac just about stole the show didn't he? I wonder if he ever will be bought back?

the gringo
 

Carlos, that wasn't very gentlemanly of you to throw Susanlynn under the bus like that, especially because on off nights you two share an Outlander table!!
 

Sandy, Thanks for the support, sister. Girl power. Jamie would never throw Claire under the bus. Well, There were no buses in 18th century Scotland, were there? Anyhow, I was verra surprised considering the long history Carlos and I have together here at Caraycaray..exchanging recipes and debating who has and who hasn't had a little plastic surgery.
 

Susanlynn, I just have to conclude that our Carlos, however charming, was never a member of the Future Farmers of America, and we are just now seeing this deficit.
 

Sandy...umm..I don't know about that ..some of those future farmers were verra capable of throwing you under the tractor...or sometimes a cow. And I can name names. One minute they are picking wild strawberries , and the next thing you know, you're under that tractor...or cow. Just saying.
 

Carlos, I forgot all about Balzac and the reason his name was always followed by (Heh heh)...I think you started that. Am I wrong? I must have been too focused on Big Ed and the prepositions and Cynderella.
 

Yale is playing Carlos' Baylor Bears, sure he is buried in the game!

I'd rather be thrown under a bus than a cow! Cows make Erick look like a member of Mensa!
 

Susanlynn: Ashmore views Daniela as a possession: Nothing More, Nothing Less!!!!
 

Let's throw Assmore under the bus...or a tractor..or a cow. Randy, ethicless old dude.
 

Susanlynn, I wasn't really offended. I enjoy the discussions at the "I Hope They Die Table." My neighbor had a Springer Spaniel, a wonderful dog. I found a picture of Balzac - so cute. I wish he would come to PyP so that there would be at least one likable character.

Damara
 

Afternoon All!
Great comments all around. Thanks to everyone for stopping by today and a big welcome to Damara. Hope to see you here on a regular basis.

If Ashmore is making an appearance tonight it should be good. How will David feel when he discovers that Dani lied to him about dating Assmore. Will he forgive or run back to begging Regina for another chance? Like the Gringo days, Must See TV.

Hasta Pronto!

P.s. Carlos, I love the new avatar. Very cute.
 

Damara,
Glad that you were not offended by my silliness. My older daughter has a Nova Scotian Duck Toller . They are very popular in Canada and look a little like a small Golden Retriever with a coat the color of an Irish Setter. My younger daughter recently had to have sweet Golden Retriever put to sleep.

No pets in this novela except for Julia's birds in a guided cage. Maybe these people would all be nicer and saner if they had pets.

Does anyone know when this noveka ends and what follows next?
 

How I love these recaps (with bonus commentary)! I didn't get a chance to watch last nights episode, but I almost cried at the David/Eladio conversation. I don't know if its your spin on the emotion AuntyAnn or what how it was portrayed (can't wait to watch), but I'm literally tearing up...until I got to the Artie - I won - part. Ugh!

My second tearing up, because Nina was so hurt by him the other day (I missed the recap) that he doesn't love her like that.

Although it was boring, I was rooting for Reg/David...now I could care less. It's still icky with these sister/brother pass arounds, but for some reason if Regina suffers - I'm good! However, they have theme music, so they'll probably end up together. The writers are going to have to do some serious redeeming of her character for me to want the two of them back together. Where's Erick Jr. and Mateo? More baby less stupid people!
 

Thanks, AuntyAnn. Terrific job.

David will understand if he [Eladio] doesn't want to give anything to Julia.

Say what? What the hell happened to David? After 25 years of marriage, of course Eladio should give her $something. And why David's shock at the divorce announcement, after he told Eladio just yesterday to forget about Julia cause Art was all in?

Nina seems to be turning a corner for the better, worried about the riff between sisters and Dani not thinking things through.

Franco has had a free ride for long enough now. It's time somebody starting honing in on the crap he's doing. I always thought it would be David, but the writers have turned him so wishy-washy.
 

I often wonder whether different people write consecutive episodes. I know from interviews from a few years ago that a full week's episodes are shot over a week, but completely out of sequence so that scenes from three or more episodes can be shot in a single day. That could be more than half of this problem.

David definitely should want Julia to get more than something. She should take Eladio to the cleaners after 25 years of abuse and denying his paternity. However, David is still being an immature brat over the possibility of Julia and Arturo being together. Just as his love life is his own business Julia's is hers. Same thing in the Montenegro family.
 

Regina looks like she made the biggest mistake of her life, or maybe she just had some bad chinese food.

Such a funny remark Auntie Ann. I'm thinking maybe Regina had some bad pugs in a blanket. And Carlos, you are NEVER going to live down ratting out Susanlynn. Fie on ye!

Like tofie, I know these are not real people, but I couldn't help feeling sad watching how all of them were hurting each other so deeply. And for me, it ties in with a survey I just heard about where the number of people who believe divorce is a good idea is dropping steadily. I suspect the reason is a number of these people have lived through the chaos and hurt of their own parents' divorce and know the long-lasting damage.(Mind you, if it's one of the three A's...alcoholism, abuse or adultery) no one should have to go on suffering that.

Was at a Parish Mission night last night and the priest explained that clerics wear black and white because they're constantly being called to referee married couples' battles. I'm thinking we need to get Father Wagner over here to knock sense into Arturo. With Eladio and Julia, not sure what would work.

Well, really enjoyed all the Future Farmers humor...takes the edge off watching this sad episode. Not to mention Miguel showing up at Consuelo's door again. Oh the horror! Consuelo, you can do better!

 

Judyb....Can you believe that my old pal sold me out like that? I thought that he had my back. I think he is still ticked about me telling him the hard truth about Gardenia's..ahem...charms.(Heh Heh)


 

Well heck. My Baylor Bears lost to Yale. And I come back here to find everyone looking at me like I'm a rat for simply mentioning that Susanlynn may have played a small role in the pug in a blanket hijinks. Now watch Nina seduce Miguel tonight and my day will be complete.

Sandy, I wasn't in FFA but my brother was. He was the chapter president, won the state FFA public speaking competition, and had the Reserve Grand Champion steer at the Pasadena Livestock Show. I envied his nifty blue jacket. I was in the Baylor Rodeo Club, however, and once successfully rode the mechanical bull at Gilley's and still fancy myself as something of a drugstore cowboy.

Carlos
 

Carlos, so sorry your Baylor Bears lost a squeaker to Yale. With no dog (or cow, in the case of a rodeo) in the fight, ordinarily I root for the teams of my patio mates ...but in this case, the missing Yale team captain is from Brentwood (Nashville) Tennessee, and given the circumstances, I was happy that Yale won.

With your brother being an outstanding member of FFA and because drugstore cowboy tourists pay the bills in Nashville, I'm happy to encourage Susanlynn let this minor hiccup in your longstanding relationship slide by!! Susanlynn??
 

Carlos..yes, I could have guessed that this was not your first rodeo .

Now I can see why you, Sandy, and I have forged this strange and awesome bond. Not only are we all Fans of Outlander, but we are also all Fans of future farmers . Susanlynn, crawling out from under the bus and dusting herself off. P.S. Did your brother actually become a farmer?
 

Susanlynn,

My brother went to Texas A&M and became a veterinarian. He was also a rancher and raised Limousin cattle. His huge prize Limousin bull caused quite stir at the Houston Livestock Show some years ago. Unfortunately he died when he was only 62 years of a sudden heart attack. I sure do miss him. He took care of all our pets and was especially fond of our beautiful Pit Bull Bonnie Belle whom you may remember me speaking of.

Carlos
 

Carlos...If I had Drambuie (or any liquor ) , I would raise a glass to your brother. It sounds like a life well-lived , and that is what is important. Our older daughter wanted to be a vet for awhile and joined 4H. However, she studied math and computer science instead.She loved our black lab Toby and practiced a lot on him. I am not familiar with Limousin cattle. My dad raised Herefords and many farmers and 4H members around here raised Black Angus.My Dad had a bull , and my mother thought he was dangerous to which myy dad always answered, "No, Billy is a nice bull." Then, one day, my mother looked out the window to see my dad on the pigpen roof where that nice bull had chased him. Susanlynn, lifted my cuppa tea to your brother and Bonnie Bell. Slainte

I certainly remember Bonnie Bell. Let's drink to her, too.
 

Kendra,
Thanks for the compliment. I was trying to convey the emotion during that scene with father and son. It teared me up too. I sure hope you get to watch it.
 

Thank you Auntyann. I enjoyed this recap better than watchin the episode. Regina is really stinging from that bad choice she made. She drank that bad koolade she mixed up. Im glad her mom told her it was a bad choice. what if dani is serious, what a mess. "Regina looks like she made the biggest mistake of her life or maybe she just had some bad Chinese food". Yeah a big mistake, and her own bad cooking.

I felt sorry for eladio, his hesrt is really broken. Arturo on the other hand is a jerk whose only interested in reliving the pass. Correcting his screwups. Not givin a flyin flip about nobody but artty. He is an arrogant SOB. Ol hummy is screwin him and juls. I really wish she'd stay with eladio. Yeah he messed up bad but he seems alot more remorseful than that pompous arturo. I really don't like that character jorge is playing, but he dose it well.

Franco is a kingsized ass whose going to fall hard, and take his silly momma with him.

Auntyann, a superb recap.☆★☆★☆★☆★
 

Auntyann, the way you conveyed the emotion between David and Eladio, that was spot on, I could feel his pain. That
Is some good acting and good recapping. You got it girl.
 

Wonderful recap! I loved that you detailed the therapist/Julia conversation, thank you AuntyAnn.

FC sure got me with those tears. What a touching and heartfelt scene between Eladio and David. I know all the injustices committed against Julia, but I believe Eladio truly loves his wife and is finally learning how to be loved in return. Eladio didnt come from a loving nurturing home..he is a man who has his own demons. I have hope that Julia will realize that she does love only Eladio and that Art is a memory of her youth. She wants Eladio to keep fighting, but all while she runs to Arturo. Ball is in your court Julia.

I have to admire Dani and her fight. She doesnt give up or let others dictate her happiness. Regina has given great lip service to David but no actions. Watch and learn Regina! Pity as it really does seem Daniis doomed.

Caridad is so trifling. She's got nerve offering to go with Gabi to gyno all while conspiring with Marintia. The woman is a backstabber and metiche. I hope she loses everything. Now she claims to want Eladio..I knew it. I was fooled a bit by her in the very beginning but then I sensed being at GLA wasnt just about Franco. Shes no innocent. I believe she purposely trapped Eladio years ago and she helped Marintia do it to Franco, shes a nasty woman.

Nina really has come a ways. I believe tragedies will open Art and Nina's eyes even more.

Miguel = annoying creep.
 

AuntyAnn, thank you so much for this excellent recap. You got it all.

Great acting from FC. It was the best scene of the night and you conveyed it so well.
