Yago #13. Thursday May 19, 2016. Land Of Cuckoos
This recap is brought to you by our recapper and Patio regular, CountxAlacran. Enjoy!
[Some scenes were merged]
- Refrito of previous scenes (Yago learns that Lucio has a new baby in plans, Abel buys off a gardener in the orphanage to be Lorenzo’s sombra, Teo argues with Fidel about Camilo Michel.)
- Flashbacks of Abel’s earlier life. Abel accidentally killed a young fellow which made his father to take Abel’s punishment. His family rejected Abel which forced him to take the journey to Mexico on request of his father. In Mexico he beat the crap out of bullies chomping one’s ear off with pliers. He was also encountered by the child’s mother which finally recognized Abel as the killer. She cursed Abel’s whole existence, saying that he will end up worse as her fallen child. In the present Abel was at the point of killing himself but Teo stopped it. Abel is curious on who put the video on. Abel also pointed out that Bruno is slowly becoming the bane of his existence. If Bruno won’t stop digging , Abel will be forced to kill him.
- Lucio had a terrible day which means free vodka shots for everyone! Yago bribed the loan shark to put more pressure on Lucio so that Lucio would come running to Yago for help (Lucio got beat up much to the sadness of Matias). While Sara was curing him she said that protecting their family comes first before business. She desired to end the association. Damian was also putting pressure on Lucio demanding money for the video (I got kind of confused. Damian also has a video on his phone. Was he referring to that or was he just pranking Lucio?) Because Lucio did not come to the arranged meeting, he was met by Damian’s wine bottles of doom. Lucio also received a last warning from the loanshark. He was gentle and helpful up to this time but his other companions are not that patient. The loanshark gave Lucio antidotes for his pained, sore, butthurt face LOL
- Bruno was about to meet Lorenzo (The orphan) much to his father’s disdain of meddling with the past but Yago came to stall him. Yago offered to increase Bruno’s salary in exchange for working exclusively for him. Bruno rejected the offer which pissed Melina off since this wasn’t what Melina taught him blah blah blah . Later Melina tried to reason with him but with no success. Bruno is the one who chooses which people he wants to have in his life.
- Matty told Ambar of his nightmares about grumpy old grandpa coming back home just to cut Mattie’s hands off and to kill Sara LOL.
- Yago is apparently totally jealous that Sara is planning new children. Katia tried to reason with him saying that he doesn’t need to intensify his plans because of jealousy. Teo informed Yago that Bruno started digging into the orphanage. Back at the orphanage Bruno accompanied by Ale tried to suck information out of Lorenzo but Lorenzo became BSC when Bruno mentioned his surname. He held Bruno at knifepoint but was saved by the caretaker. Abel later learned of the whole ordeal and tells Lucio about it. Lucio told him that getting rid of the witness is priority. Abel & Teo later kidnap Lorenzo just around when Bruno was supposed to meet up with him one more time.
- Yago took both Ambar & Sara to French lunch (It’s the restaurant that Omar & Sara dined at in the distant past) . Yago subtly drilled Sara about her previous love and reasons for their seperation. Sara smugly said that It happened because of destiny but Yago told her that humans make their own life choices including love choices. Sara was also asked about having children with Sara responding that it’s just Lucio’s imagination. She does not want any kids in the future. When the information deprived sweet young Ambar went to bathroom, Sara & Yago had a one on one about Lucio’s economic troubles. Sara attempted to call off their association but Yago offered to help out like a good opportunistic lad.
- Yago met up with Lucio. Lucio tried to avoid Yago, lying about the cause of his injuries. Yago broke his circus informing Lucio that he took care of the Loanshark problem by paying off all of the interests. Lucio was speechless.
[End of capitulo]
And now… An announcement. An announcement you should have heard at the end of the episode's airing but didn't.
Please be advised that "Yago" is moving to UniMás as of Monday May 23 at 12am/11c. Univision didn't see fit to advise us (or the show's producer) because they are a bunch of incompetent and disrespectful poopyfaces who want to stuff "Three Times Chucky" down our throats at any cost. Apparently, viewers can't handle anything beyond the classic tale of tainted love, confused parentage, repetitive amnesia, gratuitous nakedness and lethal tonterías. This is the reason why Univision feels the need to protect us from our own perverted taste and misplaced quest for quality and/or innovation. Thankfully, DVR schedules and TV guides have better manners than Univision; that's how viewers and, ultimately, Yago's producer Ms. Carmen Armendáriz were notified of the time and channel change. Do I sound ticked off? I'm sorry, that was totally my intention! And if any of Univision's (in)decision-makers is reading this: Go bleep your bleepety bleep, you bleeping bleepers!
And now… Another announcement. Because Loonyvision is more indecisive than a short-sighted squirrel crossing the road:
It was "decided" that Yago will be back on Monday May 30 at 10pm/9c. So there will be no Yago all of next week.

Hiya!
I'm afraid I had to post the discussion thread a bit earlier because I won't have the possibility to get to a computer until mid-afternoon your time.
I shall watch the show after work and head back here to discuss it with you. Cheers.

No problem Nandicta.
I am starting to believe that Uni is mentally ill. It is literally destroying itself. Unfortunatly people like what Uni is doing . They like the damn amnesia , unexpected pregnancies , product placements and other stupid cliches. I actually like that 3X Ana is two hours long, atleast the torture will end faster. I hope the show crashes and burns. Unfortunatly the switch will mean less viewers for Yago. If the rumours are true about El Color and A que No Me Dejas, we will get completely overwhelmed. We just don't have enough teams to satisfy all of the readers. We might have to resort to posting discussion pages only for these shows.

Nandicta, you just vent away. I couldn't have said it better myself. Well, I guess my days with Yago have come to an end. I don't have the ability to follow as this isn't in my cable lineup. This smacks of forcing viewers to try a new station which maybe is outside their normal cable package (as it is for me and I'm paying enough for the stations I do have), which almost never works. I too am sad that more than likely this mean the main Uni is staying with their idea of tried and true TN's and anything different, shorter or creative will be forced to Unimas.
My Dish network program grid for Ohio viewers shows Yago switching to midnight next week on UniMas. So, I will not watch live, just the recorded show. I guess that will free up an hour in the evening for family interactions!
I can't figure out if there will be a love interest for Yago? Does he love anyone aside from his family? I thought there was some spark still with Sara, and Ambar appears to be just a pretend romance with him.

GoBlueFan- I think Yago genuinely like Ambar and doesn't mind kissing her at all. But I think he still loves Sara and he's definitely VERY attracted to her. I think last night Ambar was picking up on the sparks between her sister and boyfriend. They can barely conceal it. And Katia has called Yago out many times for still having feelings for Sara and getting all jealous and bent out of shape when Lucio told him they were planning on having another child. Dating Ambar is just a means for him to get closer to the family, in to their personal business, and able to make more mischief.
I wish he could fall for Ambar because I like them as a couple and I can't stand Sara, nor will I be able to swallow a happily ever after with them. Of course, I think the odds of him falling for Ambar and Ambar surviving this novela are slim to none. Sigh.
Without Yago there won't be a single novela I'll be tuning in for. I'll have to record Yago.

Annie- I also think the chances of Yomar and Sara having a happily ever after are slim to none, so I'm not worried about that. But I do think the chances of many hearts being broken (Amabar's most likely) and many angry tears, is very high.
Nandicta, well said!
Unbelievable. Not even the courtesy of "for the next episode, find Unimas if you can."
Yep, Yago is still enamored of Sara. My guess is he and Ambar won't go beyond what they already have, a nice friendship with kisses.
It does say something about Sara's feelings for Omar/Yago though, that she'd be attracted to him again with a new name and face. Of course, it's Iván Sánchez's face, so that helps. But I think if he'd come back with Elmer Fudd's face, she'd still find herself strangely attracted to him. But I'm betting they will not wind up together in el fin. At the end of the day, Sara looks out for Sara - punto.

Wow, WTH?? I guess no more Univision for me after El Hotel's gran final tonight! Good riddance to bad rubbish...
Hopefully I'll see some of you in the Telemundo posts. La Esclava Blanca is really good!

Was Sara Omar's first girlfriend? Was the sex that good? Because I'm not understanding why he's still in love with this person.
Actually I do understand, because he never got closure with Sara, it was:
in love with Sara, planning to marry her (without knowing anything about her)
whisked off to jail
Sara lies on the stand, ensuring he stays in prison
in prison/in exile for 1-+ years
finds out Sara married his BFF Lucio & has a child with him
Now Sara is cozying up to him...again
A lot of times when you're in love with someone and the relationship ends suddenly, it's hard to let go. But Yago needs to let go in order to move on. He hasn't let go of Sara and that is dangerous.
I think Yago genuinely likes Ambar as well, and she's not too young for him...she's only 10-12 years younger than him (Ambar is 28 ...Omar & Co. should be late 30s/early 40s at the most). But I'm not sure he wants to fall in love with Ambar, knowing what he has planned for her sister, father & brother in law.
Abel apparently has always being a trigger tempered dummy who likes the drinky drinky. I wonder if his father is still alive or still in jail. And I wonder if Jenny will show back up. Abel truly is the weakest link.
I'm guessing the guard didn't have adequate child care and that's why he had Lorenzo with him that night?
Melina seems to be keeping Yago's secret so far. But I think the experience of Omar has left Bruno distrustful of everyone. I also don't think Bruno was thinking clearly when he tracked Lorenzo down and said "Hey, I'm the brother of the guy who everybody thinks killed your daddy, let's talk!"

I will check out 3XAna and see what it's all about but with me now having this Hulu subscription and being able to watch it whenever I want, I don't know that it will be must see TV.
I will be watching Yago on Hulu and I'm fine with having discussion pages and not full recaps.
This may actually be a good thing because it will free up some for me.

So we get two hours of Tres Veces Ana for a week, then A Que No Me Dejas starts Monday May 30 at 10pm. It's not even on Univision's website yet. Isn't the lack of promotion going to hurt AQNMD's ratings too? What kind of idiots run Univision???

Anon207- Since Lorenzo ended up in an orphanage after his dad was killed, I assume that means the wife was already dead/out of the picture, and there were no other relatives around. That would explain why he had his kid with him at his night job. The glimpse from child-Lorenzo's point of view showed that he didn't see the face(s) of who killed his dad, but surely he heard the voices. Being in close proximity with Abel, hearing his voice and distinct Spanglish, just might trigger his memories of that night. Which would just put him in more danger. I sure hope Teo figures out a way to save the poor kid!
Amig@s, CountxAlacran's recap is up. He emailed me his recap to me a few hours ago but I was teaching a class and didn't have access to a computer until now. Apologies for the delay. Thank you Countx for what I'm sure is another excellent recap. I shall read it once I watch the episode.
Catch you guys later! :)
Catch you guys later! :)
Nandicta- Thanks for posting.
Countx- Great, fast-moving recap!
I don't think Damian wants little hush money anymore. He wants IN on the Lucio-Yago deal, and he's putting on the pressure. But he basically denied being the one to put the video on the monitors of the hotel to Abel, and Abel believed him.
Abel then thought it must have been Bruno who put on the video, but now that he's learned that Lorenzo was a witness to the shooting, he likely thinks it was Lorenzo who did it.
The fact that Abel and Lucio are willing to eliminate Bruno or another innocent kid (a kid THEY orphaned), shows just the kind of people they are. They can cry all they want and blab about their guilt, but when it comes right down to it, they will hurt and eliminate anyone who gets in the way of their self-interest. Abel might feel guilt about accidentally killing that kid way back when, and his dad taking the blame and going to prison, but he doesn't hesitate to consider killing an innocent kid-- one he watched grow up (Bruno) and one he orphaned (Lorenzo).

Anon207 - I don't think Sara is Omar's first girlfriend. Way back when, Lucio tried to talk Omar out of being sweet on Sara by bringing up some old girlfriend that in Lucio's words was better than Sara. Also, I think when Melina gave Omar the ring to give Sara she said something about this one (as opposed to other ones?) being THE ONE.
Thanks CountxAlacran!
If Lorenzo saw his Dad get shot then he knew there were two people who robbed the bank. That fact didn't seem to come out at trial. I guess since the police had their guy maybe they didn't want to put the child through more torture.
At one point I was feeling for Abel but the fact that he would kill a child to save himself has now lost any pity I had for him. Actually the fact that he would kill Teo to keep his secret lost me. He keeps blubbering about how bad he feels about the past but he is willing to keep killing people for it?
I'd be shocked if Ambar makes it to the end. Yago and Sara better not end up together.
The restaurant Yago took them to was where he proposed to Sara.
Omar and Sara only had sex that one night. The fact that he still feels for her, after all of the lies and betrayals, he should know that the woman he loves wasn't real. I wish he could get that through his head.

well done countx.
"Yago is apparently totally jealous that Sara is planning new children"
Sara is just as guilty of murdering the guard and plopping a child in an orphanage as Abel and for any clean up to maintain the coverup.
I get Omar goes from soon to be wed to good as dead over one night and the difficulty in processing the cold betrayal. I also understand the mental calisthenics he is going through but it sickens me he starves for the least word Sara loved him.
Yago is Ambars sisters boyfriend, it shows.

I love Bruno's sassy attitude about Yago. We and Melina know he means Bruno no harm, but not knowing Yago is his long-dead brother, Bruno has every reason to be suspicious and keep him at arm's length. Yago was getting downright creepy (from Bruno's point of view) offering him anything and everything (a raise!, health insurance for your family!) to get him to work for him full-time and drop all his other side projects, ASAP.
Yeah Yago has had a hard time not going overboard while around Bruno. Why some really rich guy is hanging around his family so much is definitely giving him the creeps! But at the same time, Bruno seems to keep everyone at a distance. For all of his worry about his Mom, it doesn't look like he confides in her, or his Dad. We know he won't commit to Ale. I feel bad for the kid. He has definitely been shafted to the side as Melina has grieved for Omar for 12 years and Jonas has tried to make amends with Lorenzo and keep Melina alive. I still can't forgive her for trying to commit suicide.
Thank you all
Not sure how Yago's deal with the loanshark will pan out in the future . Loansharks only hold loyalty to money , they are worse than terrorists.
I want Ambar safe and sound but that might not end up happening . I wonder how Yago will deal with Ambar since he is slowly becoming the same monster as Lucio, Sara & Abel.
Sara was not a virgin before meeting Omar. She probably slept with a few guys back in the day but only for personal interests.

Well we know she was raped by that one guy. And we saw that she had experience using her looks to trick men so yeah, I agree Count. I think Omar may have been the first guy she actually wanted to sleep with. Did she love Omar? I don't think so. If we compare her behaviour and actions, no. For Ambar, she was willing to do anything, damn the consequences, to save her. For Omar, she wasn't.
Carvivlie- Bruno definitely has trust issues, but I think he does trust his parents. He told Melina, after all that he was going to investigate and prove Omar's innocence. It makes sense that now that he's seen how depressed and obsessed she's become, and the suicide attempt, that he would keep the results of his investigation from her. He doesn't want to make her worse or hurt her. But he IS very close and loving with his parents. I love that he dug into why his father has been secretly volunteering at the orphanage all these years and confronted him about it. His love-child theory was pretty funny. Bruno's inquisitive and always wants to get at he truth. He also has good instincts. He's chosen the perfect profession for himself-- journalism.
Great insight Vivi on Bruno. Without Yago Bruno may uncover the truth and exonerate Omar and while very dangerous, makes Yago's revenge game unnecessary.
More and more it appears Yago is a lovesick guy that was dumped, hit the gym, bought a new wardrobe and taking another shot.

I hear you Vivi but I still get a sense of distance between them and it may be just the grief that is a black cloud over all of them. He definitely trusts and loves them. I feel like him trying to prove Omar's innocence, at first, was a way for him to get closer to his mother and try to relieve some of her grief. Now that he is finding out stuff it has turned into much more. The fact that his parents have differing opinions on the biggest thing in their lives, Omar's guilt, has to have put him in the middle a teeny bit.
I want to know why Jonas was so quick to assume Omar was guilty. Ok, yes, there was "evidence" including Sara's testimony and the doctored video tape. And Omar's prints on the gun, his badge being used etc. I get it.
HOWEVER, does that remotely sound like the Omar we were presented? This guy who was going to university and working to become an engineer/architect? Omar doesn't seem like he was a troublesome kid, he was gainfully employed, going to school, he was happy to propose to Sara with Melina's mom/grandmom's simple little ring. Does this sound like someone who would plan a casino heist and murder a guard for some quick cash?
If Omar was remotely like Abel, getting drunk all the time, fighting people, can't control himself etc. I could see why Jonas would think the worse of him. But the Omar we have been presented with in flashbacks doesn't seem like the kind of person who would do that, so I need to know why Jonas was so quick to write Omar off.
Jonas' attitude about Omar is probably a big reason why Melina could never move on. My child has been yanked off to prison...died in prison...and you want me to accept that he was a killer and a thief, wash my hands of him and move on?
Bruno doesn't know who he can trust. His father is telling him that his big brother was a murderer & a thief but that doesn't add up to what he knew about his brother. His brother's girlfriend was quick to jump on the stand, testify against him and marry his BFF rather quickly. Maybe he can trust his mother, maybe not because she might be Froot Loops and now here's this strange dude showing up being all nice & offering him the world. Who can Bruno trust? He can't.

Thank you CountX
I tried to find a way to contact Uni to proclaim my outrage at moving Yago, but I don't think they want to know or even care what the viewers think . Could not get e-mail, phone #.
I was not planning on watching 3 Anas, but now resolve not to even ck it out. Boo! Uni

So Abel has been a long-time screwup. But did he actually pull out a gun, or did it accidentally go off from somewhere? He doesn’t seem to have learned much over the years, and needs to be put out of his misery. Yet, I still feel sorry for him. If he kills both a father and son, he's certainly doomed.
Kudos to Melina for keeping her cool when she overheard Bruno (understandably) shooting down Yago’s overtures. If I were Bruno, I’d be wondering if Yago had a crush on me.
Funny when Bruno heard "orphanage visits" and asked his dad what that was all about. I had a feeling that for a few seconds Bruno wondered whether he'd been adopted from the orphanage. Cute when the girlfriend thought Jonas had a lovechild, and Bruno was like "hell no!"
My guess is that Jonas wasn't quick to think Omar committed the crime, but caved under the weight of the evidence. I think he feels he's being strong not to give into Omar's supposed lies and emotion and is deeply ashamed of his son but still loves him. I notice that Jonas never goes out of his way to diss Omar with Melina and Bruno. My take is he believes women and children can be the softies and buy Omar's denials, but he's got to be the adult in the family and accept things as they are.

My take is he believes women and children can be the softies and buy Omar's denials, but he's got to be the adult in the family and accept things as they are.
This is why I'm worried that Bruno will end up dead if Abel, Lucio & Sara find out he's digging up information to clear Omar!
Niecie- I like that explanation about Jonas. He's a good, gentle, caring man. Not some hardened jerk. It must hurt him deeply to believe his son was guilty of this crime. I hope we get flashbacks to show his turning moment and why he came to firmly believe Omar was indeed guilty.
I can't remember who pulled out the gun-- young Abel or the other guy. But once they were on the ground struggling, the gun was in Abel's hand when it wen off. I'm assuming the gun belonged to Abel, since the blame was placed squarely on him by everyone there and his family.
It was nice to see the actor who played young Abel again. He played Juancho, the little brother of the heroine in La Vecina. I did chuckle though because that young actor is way taller than the actor who plays adult Abel.

There has to be an e-mail address for Univision. However, there is a Facebook page for their novelas. Flood that page with protests.
Gracias, Senor Conde.
I really hate the idea of Yago being with either Ambar or Sarah. Ambar isn't mature enough and Sarah betrayed him in a way that could have cost him his life.
Now that we know what Abel really is, I'd boil him in oil. He needs to die horribly.

In my experience Twitter is one of the better ways to get heard. I plan to tweet them about my displeasure with this change.

UA: since Yago will be on UniMas on Monday of next week at 11:00pm CST, I'll have to stay up late & DVR the show!
We are all going to be a full day behind. I don't know how the recapping situation is going to shake out but can a discussion page be put up each day?
I will be watching on Hulu and would love to see a discussion page. I just can't let this one go....
Yago might be saved after all. Univision just tweeted it will air at 10pm (on Univision) starting May 30.
Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/univision/status/733856109912596480

I'd there anything special one needs to do on signing up for Hulu to get access to Spanish language programming?

There's nothing special that you need to do, most of the novelas are on there and they broadcast in Spanish. I think you can put closed captions on them, though.

Yay! Yago is staying put on Univision. No Yago this coming week because of Tres Veces Ana, but it will be back May 30 at 10pm, where it should have been all along.

Hola patio friends! Just when I got caught up on Yago, I come here and see that it is being moved both in time and location. I'm happy to see it will stay on Looneyvision (y'all see why I call it that!!!).
Thank you to our recappers for your work! The recaps have helped me stay somewhat caught up, now that I have time to jump back in.
Abel has always given me the creeps. From the start, he has seemed like a very loose cannon. My Crockpot Theory™ is that there is no way this character can be redeemed and he will probably meet a tragic end.
I don't understand how Yago can still have a love interest in Sara now that he knows she is so dishonest and framed him.
The "noir" feeling of this telenovela keeps reminding me of Morir Dos Veces, which was broadcast on Looneyvision daytime programming ages ago.
OT .... but it looks like Telenovela-World has crashed and burned, or at best is in a vegetative coma state. Does anyone know if it will ever get up and running? I know Ben & Diane have real lives and jobs and the spam issues are behind the current state of affairs, but I dearly miss it.

That's great news! I'm still not totally convinced because Uni has changed their mind about what they're doing almost every other day. Let's just say, I won't believe it until I see it.
Viv - I'm with you. Seeing is believing.
I will not watch 3xAna because I'm not a J Boyer fan. I also don't do 2-hour episodes.
Whenever ECDLP shows up, I'll definitely give it a try because of the cast.

I'm keeping my Hulu subscription just in case.

Fantastic news that Yago will stay and move to 10, pero no confío en Univision. Hopefully they'll have some manners and announce this on broadcast TV.
Abel is pretty pathetic. Even with his father's great sacrifice, going to prison for him, years later he is a total mess. But it was interesting to find out why he peppers his conversations with English phrases so much. He was raised in El Paso, Texas.

Thank you CountXAlacran. Great recap. And thank you Nandicta for posting it.
Who was the guy that Abel fought with? Was it his dad? If not, then how would his dad have been able to take the blame when he wasn't even involved in the struggle?
It's fun learning about everyone's backstory.

That's great news that "Yago" will remain on Univision and won't be banished to midnight on another channel. I guess all the complaints Univision received helped with this new decision.
This is crazy. Glad Uni changed its mind. I just checked my Dvr settings and now no shows for next week on Unimas and back to Uni beg. May 30th.
Their whole Twitter feed must have been full of complaints. It's nice to know that they sometimes listen to what we have to say.
Perhaps the Turkish lobbies for Ezel bought off Univision so that Yago can continiue getting streamed LOL
Mauricio- It was some other random guy young Abel fought with. I'm guessing his dad went back and told everyone to just say it was him when the authorities come. Since Abel was a teen, if he was the one carrying the gun, it was likely his dad's gun and registered to him. Looked like a small caravan community, so it might not have been difficult to convince everyone to keep quiet about what they knew (it might be the norm for them to not to cooperate with authorities), and for Abel's dad to just step up and say it was him. I'm sure the cops didn't do a lot of digging when they had someone confessing.
I have used this link to watch Yago with English subtitles. You can watch without subtitles too. I found this website after reading this blog.
I have been following this site for 2 years now, love it!
All the great recaps helped thru Lent for 2 years now, gave up all tv during that time.
I appreciate all of everyone's hard work.

I'll say it again: That's not a nice way to use pliers!
Thanks (belated), Countx. If I understand correctly, the next episode won't be till May 30, correct? So I'll need this recap to refresh my memory next week!
Nandicta, I love your way with words: "they are a bunch of incompetent and disrespectful poopyfaces who want to stuff 'Three Times Chucky' down our throats at any cost." Well, now it appears they're being respectful poopyfaces and letting us watch the rest of our show (which they shouldn't have aired in the first place if they weren't ready to commit to it). I appreciate that. I may even watch the start of "Three-Ring Circus Ana" to show my appreciation.
Niecie: "I think if he'd come back with Elmer Fudd's face, she'd still find herself strangely attracted to him." Yes. Very strangely attracted. :-)
I don't see Yago ending up with either Sara or Ambar. I still like Katia for him, but the consensus seems to be that she'll end up with Teo. Perhaps some other suitable lady will show up for Yago.

And now… Another announcement. Because Loonyvision is more indecisive than a short-sighted squirrel crossing the road:
It was "decided" that Yago will be back on Monday May 30 at 10pm/9c. So there will be no Yago all of next week.
Julie, I think Abel and his pliers must have paid a visit to a few people at Uni, hence the retraction. In any case, I'm glad the patio can still watch the show at a fairly reasonable hour. Thank you all for the support. See you all next Monday. :)

Nandicta, or a massive law suit by the producers. Uni cannot just move the shows to sister channels. It's one thing to change hours to accomodate to other shows than to completly transfer it to a new channel because they could . The biggest scew up was that Uni did not even inform the producers of the vile move. That would equate to X Men suddenly appearing in Civil War without any contracts signed or Batman sharing a teacup with Jessica Jones . All chaos would ensue.
Hey folks. A week or two ago, Yago told someone (Fidel's girlfriend? I think her name was Selma) that he was taking the name "Yago" because he was interested in the Iago character in Othello.
I considered posting a brief summary of Othello here since we have no Yago episodes to entertain us this week, but I quickly discovered that there is just no way to render Othello briefly. All of the magic is in the finer details of Iago's technique. (On the other hand, I think most of Iago's repertoire was pretty well covered in the antics of "Melrose Place" and the like.)
Anyway, there is a longish but detailed summary and analysis of Othello here: http://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/othello/summary.html and you can find a much shorter (but somewhat lacking, because like I said the magic is in the details) summary on Wikipedia.
(Of course, you could just read the play, but I find Shakespeare kind of dense to read. The words seem to get in the way of the story.)
My point is, after reading the story, I am left with the feeling that someone (either the writers or Yago himself) didn't do their homework. Iago is a con artist and a spiteful jerk. He does succeed in getting his revenge on Othello, but it's hardly worth the mess: there's a much higher body count than I think he originally intended; Iago's rival ends up with a great job; and Iago is left with nothing, caught and sentenced to death.
So, Iago is not a good role model for anyone, even a bad guy. His plans are intricately evil, but ultimately they blow up in his face, badly.
And, as our story stands now, Fidel appears to be the real "Iago" character of "Yago." Yago more closely resembles "Roderigo," Iago's unfortunate pawn who ends up dead. (The "Othello" character would be the yet-unrevealed motivation behind Fidel's campaign of revenge. This could turn out to be an actual person, or it could be an organization.)
Now, probably Yago doesn't see himself as Roderigo. He probably sees himself as Iago, and his former friends as a collective Othello. Does he actually want all three of them dead, and maybe have a couple of innocent bystanders dead too? Does he want to end up dead or in prison? (No death sentence in Mexico!) Because that's what happened to Iago.
No doubt I'm grossly overthinking this. It just seems to me that calling oneself "Yago" is like saying that you're inspired by Wile E. Coyote and hope to fall off a cliff every day for the rest of your life.

Julie - I admit I've never read "Othello" myself, but it does sound like Omar never got around to finishing the play. Maybe he got interrupted by the fire. Yago/Omar is definitely focused on being the manipulator like Iago, instead of the manipulated like he used to be. Interesting that Yago never seems to have thought too deeply about Fidel's motivation. Or maybe he has and we'll get that in a flashback.
I think Fidel told Omar early on that he had once owned the casino that was heisted. Maybe the people who owned it at the time of the heist had swindled the casino away from Fidel and thrown him under the bus for some crime (whether he had committed it or not). That would make Fidel's motivation similar to Omar's.
I have the impression that Fidel was already involved in organized crime, so it's possible that his enemies were perfectly respectable people who took over the casino in a legal manner and got him thrown in jail for a real crime. If so, Yago may find himself in a very uncomfortable position when he finds out the truth.
We still have no idea what Fidel has to gain by setting Yago against Abel, Lucio, and Sara, though. It would seem that they are only the tip of the iceberg, though.
Also - do we know if Lucio and Sara's casino is the same casino they heisted? If it's a rival casino, that could provide a clue to Fidel's motives.
(Is it obvious that I'm suffering from Yago withdrawal? Suffering, I tell you!)
As for Othello, I just wanted to understand the reference. It's a very complicated story. I took a Shakespeare class in college, and Othello was originally on the syllabus, but for some reason the instructor replaced it with King Lear. Lear also provides fine fodder for telenovelas (think of any plot where some patriarch forces his children to compete for their inheritance), but I find Othello much more interesting and I'm glad that Yago inspired me to learn more about it.

Julie: I've heard that "Yago" will now be on 9:00pm CST on Univision after some criticism from pretty much everyone!
Yes, it'll be on at 10 ET starting Monday. We now have a full slate of recappers, too!
It's potentially disastrous for a network to start a TN and then yank it before it's done. Many people would think twice about watching a new TN if there was any doubt at the back of their minds that they might not get to see how it ends. (I already feel that way about ABC/NBC/CBS/FOX programming.) Univision can't afford to create that kind of doubt in their viewers' minds.
