Sueño de Amor (SdA) #97. Monday August 1, 2016. The She-Bat In The Hat Kidnaps Adrián And Nurse Anya Ratched Joins Sueñolandia’s Only Private Hospital

Wa wa wa wee wa! That stethoscope could totally double up as a whip!

Hello Patio Pals! I’m away on holiday until August 22. Mini-recaps for Monday and Tuesday are scheduled to post the next day at 6 am EDT. Be well and see you soon, Sueñolandia dwellers! 

Adrián is happy because he feels he is in the best phase of his life. He is out of rehab, he has learnt to love and accept himself, he has forgiven his dad, his parents are happy in their respective romantic relationships and Estrella has agreed to be with him forever! All is peachy peach cobbler in Adrián’s life! The boy has been happy for all of 12 episodes and he hasn’t been bullied or punched in the face for a whole 5 episodes so, naturally, it’s time for Osorio to start torturing him again. Kracy kidnaps Adrián at gunpoint (a punta de pistola) outside his school. 

We are introduced to a new character: Anya Rodríguez Morales. Anya is very popular in her popular neighborhood. She has a spring in her step, she warmly greets the tamales lady and she demonstrates decent fútbol skills. She is even friends with the neighborhood pervs, urging them to find better pick-up lines than “Tanta carne y yo chimuelo” (So much meat and I’m toothless”) and “¿A qué hora sales por el pan?” (What time do you go out to get bread? In other words: When can I see you alone? This phrase dates back to the time when young girls of humble means and maids left the house on their own when they were sent to the bakery for sweet bread to accompany afternoon tea, coffee and/or chocolatito). Anya is studying to become a doctor and to discover a cure for cancer because, you see, she lost her dad to cancer when she was a small girl. 

Erasmo is late for work because he spent the night definitely not sleeping at Anastasia’s.

Cristina Vélez Valderrama (CVV) is scandalized because a press article about her relationship with Ricardo was published online. She is hurt by what she deems a defamatory article and can’t believe the blatant lies it contains, including: 
1) The fact that she, the directora of Instituto Palacios, and Ricardo, a maestro working under her, are lovers. This is a complete fabrication! 
2) The fact that she is flouting the school regulations by sustaining an amorous relationship with another member of staff. What a vile falsehood! 
3) The fact that her nickname is La bombera de la educación/the firewoman of education and that, lately, she has dedicated quite a bit of her time to extinguishing another type of fire. Such malicious gossip! 
Bárbara walks in, with the article in hand, and reprimands CVV for playing adolescent and for besmirching the reputation of Instituto Palacios, when she was, in fact, hired to improve it. CVV says she’s not playing and, if love is a crime, then punish her! She emphatically declares: “I love Ricardo Alegría!” “And I love Cristina Vélez Valderrama!” he proclaims. If CVV had to choose between her relationship and her job, then she would choose Ricardo Alegría. She can find a good job anywhere! However, she can’t find another man like Ricardo Alegría in the whole wide world! He is unique! (Just off the top of my head, and in 2 seconds flat, I can come up with the names of 3 Ricardo Alegrías I crossed paths with in real life. And they don’t have kids or a trigger-happy Kracy ex-wife!)

As it turns out, Isaac Rey was behind that most accurate press article. In true Ricardo Alegría fashion, Ricardo lurks outside Isaac Rey’s house and, when the man arrives home, he starts threatening him. He orders him to publish a retraction or else. Isaac refuses because everything the article says is true. Ricardo punches Isaac Rey in the nose and gets into a fistfight with his bodyguards. 

Esperanza, her two kids, her fiancé, her fiancé’s ex-wife (now her new BFF) and her ex-boss from the defunct Musturd School (now her adoptive mom) are all in the waiting room of the hospital, awaiting Espe’s turn for her chemo session. Esperanza announces that she will marry this guapo/handsome man and, obviously, Margarita jumps at the chance to drool over Ernesto and say how envious she is. Viviana congratulates the happy couple and admits that the two of them were always destined to be together. The group makes too much noise, talking excitedly about the upcoming wedding and the big celebration they wish to have. Anya yells at them to keep quiet and rudely reprimands them. Pedro is mesmerized by her. The girl is his sister’s doppelgänger but he’s completely under her charm. And the more brusque she is with him, the more taken he is with her. The boy definitely has a type. Remember the first day he met Kristel, when she threatened to kill him if he called her pretty? Pedrito sure likes them mean. 

Kracy drugs Adrián and locks him inside the gorilla cage, in a frightening basement filled with raw organ meat and mounted animal heads. 

The news of Adrián’s kidnapping travel fast: Estrella calls Erasmo who calls Luca who calls Ernesto who tells Viviana. Adrián's loved ones are seized by worry and impotent anger. Ernesto supposes Kracy is the culprit. Anastasia confirms the disguised woman was indeed Kracy. She had been stalking Adrián’s Facelook account lately, so it’s gotta be her. Erasmo and Esperanza suggest that De La Colina family resort to the locator of lost, abducted and runaway children, Ricardo Alegría. 

Last and certainly not least, the new DNA results have spoken: Baby Luca is not Luca’s baby. 

Thank you for the pleasure of your company. Please join us again for the next capítulo. We’ll be saving you a seat!

Thanks, Nandicta, for the humorous recap and hope you are having fun.

Pedro all goofy with Anya! Yes, he does have a type. Funny.

At least Cristina did not cave to Bárbara Santillana and chose Ricardo over the job.

The best thing about the Ricardo-Isaac confrontation was that Ricardo did tell Isaac the truth about Pámela: she needs her father's attention. When Paulo called his sister her a crybaby, Isaac should have punched him in the face.

Looked like Luca was disappointed Luquita was not his son but his little brother.

Anastasia sure stepped in it again. Like she did not know "something" was brewing. She did.

Tracy was a hoot in her own way driving Adriân to his cage, singing her creepy: "Tumbas por enfrente, Tumbas por detrás." (Tombs out in front, tombs behind)

The whole cage thing is just too much . . . Like most of the show . . . Anyway I was grateful for the laughs!
 

Thanks Nandicta!

YOu will probably read this one month later but the recap, although brief, was excellent!

So there's yet another new character, and for this they got rid of Kristel? Couldn't Kristel have had a better story and stay or she was in the way of Pedrito's happiness? Did people voted her out?

Looks like Anya is rough and being a nurse and with all that noise, she was right trying to make them quiet. Why do they have to make the chemotherapy sessions such a carnaval? That was loud, but the worse was after they found out Adrián was kidnapped. I also should have sent them all outside to cry and ask God why, o God why this happen to good people?

Anya was not in a bad mood or she has anger issues, she is doing her job and thi speople are very noisy.

Creepy Pedro following the nurse and being obnoxious in her work hours sure like a girl with a firm grip. He wants to be the submissive one in the relationship?

So, CVV is known in the whole country as "the firewoman", jajaja!

So Regino is taking Ricardo's job finding people because he found Santiago, Raquel's son, and when When Esperanza asks Ernesto, do you know who can find Adrián? Both say RICARDO!! What about Regino? Regino can only find people that has not been kidnapped? Oh, right!

And lastly, I understand that after meeting Ernesto, people can completely forget or make to the side bland Luca, but, NOT USE PROTECTION with any of them? What were they thinking? Pretty blonde woman also carry STD's and stuff!! Or worse, like it has been seen here!
 

Thank you Nandicta!

I love the "That stethoscope double totally be used as a whip" LOL.

Pablo: Not using protection during sex ? YUCK! What if the person had HIV, STD, etc.,
 

Nandicta thanks for this quick and precise recap. I kinda figured they'd get their freindly neighborhood person finder.
And then he'll call, I can't think of that guys name, but he always calls him when theres a problem with bad guys. This time its a bad kracy bit*h. I hope this don't cause adrian to have a set back, that kid has been through so much hell mostly caused by his parents. And now he has to deal with this psycho. He is still suffering because of his father's messed up life. I hate that part, cuz ernesto is so sweet to espy, and his daughter. They are going to be so hurt when they find out what he did. Pedro is going to be peeeeee-issed.

Its kind of hard to see a happy ending for any of these people. Their lives are really screwed. But I'm sure Osorio will squeeze out a happy ending somehow.

Nandicta thank you, and I hope you're havin a hell- of -a vacation. Enjoy!

 

I saw HOY and they said Osorio wrapped this novela over the weekend and yesterday they had a big farewell party. Also, last week they asked young fans to apply so they could be extras in one scene with Patoluca, the only condition was to wear formal, tux, etc. I guess that scene is the wedding. So, the end is near!!
 

Thanks, Pablo, for the wrap up info.
 

Nandicta, fresh and refreshing as always. I thoroughly enjoyed every word.

Well, Comcast is about 3 episodes behind so I was able to watch Ernesto's proposal. I teared up at the ring. What can I say? Ernesto has captured my heart. I have to say though, that my ardor was dampened more than a little when he started strongarming Anastasia. What a contradictory character.

And to confuse me further (not difficult), I was off and able to watch today's episode. I had no idea who Anya was and I will reserve judgment until I see more.

Back to this...Poor Adrian. Tracy deserves a huge anvil. Someone commented recently that it wasn't Ricardo she wanted to hurt but Ernesto. It wasn't difficult to transfer her hate, was it?

Color me surprised that Luq was not Luca's baby Jarifa. So, he is both Luca and Pato's brother right? I know he is technically not Luca's blood brother but in reality, he is in every sense of the word "family". This family tree will be something, won't it?

Pablo, appreciate your letting us know this is done filming. Not sure how that translates how many more episodes but. I admit, I am really curious as to how this is going to end up. I can't just see Cris/Marjorie fade into the sunset as she and Ricardo have ramped up their love game and blended their families. I don't see any true and lasting love for Espe on Ric's part so frankly, I'm baffled.

I have my thoughts on Ernesto but I will keep that to myself for the moment.

Nandicta, hope you are having a marvelous time. Thank you so much for doing this for us.

Diana
 

Diana, Anya is a new character. This is her 2nd episode? So, we are all in the same boat to see how she us going to play out.
 

Diana: Tracy needs a very large anvil!
