Sueño de Amor (SdA) US #120 (MEX #125). Friday September 2, 2016. The Step Siblings Tie The Knot And Paulo Rey Kicks The Bucket
 |
| Giving your daughter away at her wedding with your son is priceless... For everything else, there’s Mastercard. |
At a glance
-- Bodaaa! Comaaa!
A closer look
At Casa Conde-Kuri, soon-to-be Casa Conde only, without the hyphen, Viviana supervises the after-bachelor party cleanup by a non-Eufro housekeeper. Paulo Rey picks Salma up for the “picnic”. He greets Viviana politely and promises to bring Salma back early so she can attend the wedding of the millennium. Mere seconds later, Adrián takes his leave as well, to supposedly go see an exhibition but we know he’s off to play Nancy Drew. He too promises he’ll be back in time for the bodabulous, bodatastic, bodawesome, and positively superbodafragilisticexpialidocious boda of his eldest brother, Saint Luca Superhero De La Colina. And here comes the bridegroom! Proud momma Viviana tells him she can’t believe he won’t be living at home anymore. At what point in time did he grow up to be so big and handsome?
At Casa Guerrero, Esperanza is also sad that her little duckling Pato won’t be filling the house with her pouting, quacking and daffy-ducking anymore. Pato promises her mom that they will never ever be apart. Esperanza makes her swear that she’ll always pursue her happiness. Pato makes her MaPa swear to do the same. Translation: Act like una rogona arrastrada/a crawling begging take-me-back and keep debasing yourself until Ricardolt deigns to take you back.
At the kiddie nightclub/drug den, Paulo is popping pills and other psychotropic candy but Salma does not feel comfortable in these surroundings. And here come the Galactic Four, down to three after Salma relapsed into her old vitchiness, and now down to two because Kiko is an aspiring dancer who must rehearse all the time! Estrella and Adrián try to get into the kiddie club to bust and/or spy on and/or save Salma, but they can’t get inside because the daytime bouncer refuses to let them in without an invitation.
Cristina Vélez Valderrama (CVV) brings Abril to Casa Alegría dizque/seemingly to play with Selena and Rodrigo, but we all know she’s there to keep tabs on Ricardolt, who is getting ready to go to his ex-fiancée’s daughter’s wedding, to which his current almost-fiancée is not invited. She tries to score points by gushing over how handsome he looks in his penguin suit and offers her free babysitting services to the kids. When he steps out of the living room, she finds the vase of Esperanza’s flowers set right next to hers.
Estrella and Adrián manage to dodge the bouncer and get inside the kiddie nightclub. Paulo starts twitching then convulsing. He collapses to the floor to everyone’s horror and dismay.
Ricardolt learns from his kids that the wedding of the millennium will be streamed live on social media. Abril is still giving him the stink-eye. He assures her that he loves her. Yeah, but you don’t love my mom, you scoundrel! Señorito Confundido admits he doesn’t know how things will work out with her mother but he says he cares for Abril all the same. When he goes back to the living room, CVV remarks how funny it is that she and her love rival both had the same original idea at the same original time and sent a rat Señorito Confundido a vase of flowers. OK, it's not funny-ha-ha but rather funny-I'm-gonna-scalp-that-vitch-when-I-see-her. Ricardolt says he has no right to make CVV suffer like this or make her wait for him to make up his mind, when only 24 hours ago he was begging her to wait for him to make up his mind. CVV promises that she’ll wait forever for Señorito Confundido! She loves him and she will fight for this love! “I don’t deserve your love!” he says with sad puppy eyes, if the puppy in question were one of those robots the Japanese are so fond of making. “Perhaps, but that’s irrelevant!” replies CVV. “I love you and my love for you is unconditional and total!” proclaims rogona arrastrada n°2.
The police invests the kiddie nightclub/drug den and Paulo gets transferred to hospital. Salma cries and cries then cries some more.
Mario is vegging out in bed, hungover and in a vitchy mood. Viviana worries about Salma, who isn’t answering her calls. Mario blames Viviana for letting Salma go Lord-knows-where but he doesn’t seem particularly concerned for his daughter’s safety or welfare. Viviana points this fact out to him and he just shrugs. She also reproaches him for refusing to accompany her to the wedding. She can’t believe Mario’s attitude! Her eldest son is getting married and she’ll be going to the ceremony on her own because her husband refuses to attend. “Well, weren’t you the one who wanted a divorce?” he remarks sarcastically. Viviana retorts that her husband is acting all depressed for some project. He jeopardized his marital and family life for this project to supposedly be worthy of his wife. “And you know what? You’re not worthy of me! Not even close!” Atta girl, Viviana!
Pamela Rey is sobbing at hospital, alongside Salma and Estrella. It all makes for a harmonious weeping symphony. Estrella calls Erasmo to tell him what happened. As usual, Mr. and Mrs. Rey are nowhere to be found.
The guests start arriving outside church. Ricardolt explains to Margarita and Félix the ABCs of his amorous confusion for the 100th time, and for the 100th time, the pair acts interested. Wow, CVV loves you no matter what? Really? Get outta here! You don’t say! Now, that’s true love! How fascinating is your dilemma! Margarita says she will have to play devil’s advocate (abogado del diablo) here and remind him that Esperanza faced a bullet for him. OK, she used his body as a shield to face the bullet. Potato, potahto. Esperanza steps out of a limousine, sporting a burgundy number I haven’t made up my mind about yet. She always looks gorgeous, despite the mostly unflattering wardrobe that has been assigned to her since the start of this trainwreck.
Back at Casa Alegría, Rodrigo is watching the wedding of the millennium online, instead of playing with dragons or pokemons or juaréver. The boy has been hanging out with those little girls too much, playing princesses and whatnot, what did you expect? The live streaming comes with live commentary. It looks like Luca hired TMZeta and E! Entretenimiento to cover his boda. The commentator says Esperanza looks spectacular. When Esperanza greets Margarita, Félix and Ricardolt, they each take turns in telling her how spectacular she looks. Spectacular, spectacular, spectacular. All the other adjectives were taken, so “spectacular” it is! CVV sees her love rival in Rodrigo’s iPad and she glares daggers at her. Smite her, Lord! Smite her now! Smite her dead before she takes my man!
Esperanza tells Ricardolt he looks handsome too and says flirtatiously: “Not that I’m trying to take advantage but there are too many steps!” Ricardolt offers her his arm to walk up the stairs and enter the church together. Ernesto arrives at this precise moment to see healthy Ricardolt escorting the healthy Esperanza up the stairs, while he, kidney-diminished Ernesto, looks like death warmed over. He has a slight malaise but his hurt and growing rancor give him the strength to carry on.
Also present at the wedding is Anya. She gives me the creeps. She has bunny-boiler written all over her. Here is a case in point. She tells Pedro that the best way to know someone is to move in with them. Hint hint. She wants to move in together after a couple of dates and one single solitary roll in the hay? Bunny-boiler, I tell ya!
Estrella urges Adrián to leave the hospital and attend his brother’s boda. She, in turn, will be missing the wedding of the millennium for Paulo Rey’s sake, as if her presence at the hospital were absolutely indispensable. We get it, she is noble but this is an exaggeration.
Ernesto walks Pato down the aisle. Really? Of all the dresses she tried on this is the one she chooses? I mean the girl is beautiful no matter what she wears, but come on! Ernesto gives away the bride (entregar a la novia), joins the hands of Pato and Luca together and tells Luca that he is handing him his most valued treasure. “There is no better man for you than Luca” says Ernesto to Pato. “Yes, Papá!” agrees Pato. “And there is no better woman for you than Pato” he says to Luca. “Yes, Papá!” concurs Luca. “You, my children, are the light of my life!” Any random stranger passing by the church right now would totally get the wrong idea! Ernesto ends his speech to the novios with a cryptic: “Forgive me! Please forgive me!” He walks past Esperanza to take his seat on the front pew, without so much as a look.
Kracy and Ciro are fighting over the blackmail money they haven’t even received yet. He wants 70%. Kracy disagrees. She tries to dissuade him. He refuses a more equitable distribution. Kracy disagrees... Vehemently... With a shovel. Buh-bye, Ciro!
Luca and Pato have their religious ceremony officiated by the only priest that marries people in Sueñolandia. The other Sueñolandia priest gives dying people the last rites. Division of labor. Anastasia asks Erasmo if seeing this isn’t giving him ideas. The PatoLuca theme gets played live in church.
Paulo Rey is brain-dead. No, literally brain-dead! The doctor says he has entered a deep coma that he’ll never wake up from. Scenes and scenes and scenes of crying by Pamela, Salma and sundry.
Jumex juice commercial. Jumex cartons have children tales on them. Oh, how lovely! Humex in my side of the world is the name of a cold medication. It decongests stuffy noses like that! *finger snap*
The wedding of the millennium’s religious ceremony is finally over. The step siblings were joined in holy matrimony for eternity and beyond. CVV had time to read the kids a tale off the juice carton, drink juice with them, make carrot cake slices and start eating them before the service was over. She thinks to herself that if it weren’t for Kracy, she and Ricardolt would be married right now.
Kracy ponders what to do with Ciro’s body. She also fantasizes that, with one million dollars, she could have plastic surgery to fix her “deformed” face and prevent anyone from recognizing her. Ha! There isn’t enough money in the world!
Outside church, Ernesto, Esperanza and Ricardolt are awkwardly standing together. Ernesto informs Esperanza that his kidney transplant is on Monday. She wishes him the best of luck and reminds him that his children need him. Ernesto asks to speak with Ricardolt. Esperanza takes this opportunity to go congratulate the newlyweds. Ernesto asks Señorito Confundido about his confusion regarding Esperanza. Obviously, Ricardolt can decline to answer if he wishes to do so. However, as he can surely understand, this subject is of the utmost importance to Ernesto, who is still madly in love with Esperanza. Didn’t Ernesto choose to maintain Esperanza away from him? wonders Ricardolt. Ernesto explains it was because he doesn’t want her to be with him out of pity. The following exchange takes place:
- Ricardolt: “Esperanza is grateful to you for many things.”
- Ernesto: “I don’t want her gratitude either! Here’s the deal: If you love CVV, why don’t you make up your mind? Why don’t you choose her once and for all, and listo/done!”
- R: “Wait, even in the case where I do choose CVV, sorry to have to tell you this, but Esperanza doesn’t love you!”
- E: “Esperanza can love me! She showed me proofs of that. She agreed to marry me. I don’t know what games you are playing, because loving two women is absurd!”
- R: “Hold on! This isn’t a game and it isn’t absurd! It’s simply the way I feel and, believe me, I don’t want to make either one of them suffer!”
- E: “I need you to set Esperanza free and to consider CVV.”
- R: “Is this a threat? Are you threatening me?”
- E: “(Shakes his head no) Ricardolt, I am grateful to you for saving my son and I am not threatening you. I am asking you to choose CVV.”
Pato interrupts the exchange. Ernesto wishes his daughter a lifetime of happiness. She says her happiness will be complete when her dad’s operation goes well and his health improves. She needs him to be around for many more decades. Ernesto assures her she will have her daddy by her side for many more years to come. He goes to congratulate Luca. Ricardolt gives Pato a hug and wishes the best of the best in the world. She replies that the best of the best in the world for her would be to see Ricardolt married to her mom. Esperanza loves him and he loves her too; Pato knows it. They’ve loved each other for over 20 years. “My mom is the love of your life! Your true love!” affirms the nosy bride. Ricardolt makes googly eyes at Esperanza and smiles. Esperanza makes googly eyes at Ricardolt and smiles back.
Crying is into overdrive at the hospital as the news of Paulo’s fatal coma do the rounds. Pamela and Salma enter Paulo’s room to say goodbye and urge him to “resist”. More waterworks.
The newlyweds leave the church to everyone’s cheers and felicitations. Margarita is feeling nostalgic. This reminds her of Silvana’s wedding to Mario. It was such a lovely boda. Margarita wonders what she did wrong for things to turn out so badly for her daughter. Félix assures her she did nothing wrong.
At jail, Silvana gets a beating from La Tuerta.
Viviana tells Mario what happened to Paulo. Salma needs her father right now.
Another filler scene with Kracy talking to herself. She then proceeds to calling Ernesto to ask him to pay her the one million dollars in exchange for Murillo’s voice recording. Ernesto tells her he can’t pay her on Monday because he has a kidney transplant scheduled that day. Unless she wants Regino to meet her. “I don’t trust your minions (achichincles)!” she says. “In that case, you’d better pray that I come out of the operation alive or else, you won’t receive a cent!” Ernesto hangs up and curses her. If it weren’t for her, he and Esperanza would be together. Regino asks his boss if he should take care of Kracy. No, Ernesto has decided to kill her himself. Aaand Ernesto is fully back to the dark side after this episode! What a waste of weeks of good swooning!
A quote from the capítulo
“Yo no sé a qué juegos estás jugando, ¡porque amar a dos mujeres es absurdo!”*
*Ernesto conveys the collective sentiment of the surviving viewers of this show: “I don’t know what games you are playing, because loving two women is absurd!”

Hellow amigowz! Sorry about the delay but it's not easy to concentrate or type properly with a 3-year-old jumping on the bed, throwing things at you and interrupting every 5 seconds.
This is a bit longer than usual but it's my first boda to recap (the first boda to go smoothly), so I went a little overboard! Enjoy the recap and discussion. Happy weekend to all! :)

Thanks!
I liked it very much!
I also thought it was a costume wedding when I saw Margarita dressed as the Michelin mascot.

I'm not surprised that Ernesto is psycho again: More cutthroat than "Pasion Y Poder"'s Eladio Gomez-Luna.
Tracy is likely going to get whacked & nobody will feel sorry for that wretch!

Nandicta, I tried to soak in every single marvelous word. I'm still processing.
"Esperanza is also sad that her little duckling Pato won’t be filling the house with her pouting, quacking and daffy-ducking anymore" was my favorite of many.
It sounds like it was such an exciting episode! I wish I had been able to watch it with all of you. This was simply sensational.
I am happy Pato and Luca can hopefully embark on their happily ever after.
But, I'm in full out panic mode after reading "Ernesto arrives at this precise moment to see healthy Ricardolt escorting the healthy Esperanza up the stairs, while he, kidney-diminished Ernesto, looks like death warmed over. He has a slight malaise but his hurt and growing rancor give him the strength to carry on." How perfectly you seemed to capture his motivation to live. Sadly, it now seems to have morphed from love to revenge.
"Also present at the wedding is Anya. She gives me the creeps. She has bunny-boiler written all over her". Nandicta, thank you very much for echoing what I felt from the moment I saw her. Something is seriously amiss with this girl. Is Kristel going to end up being his salvation?
I'm at such a disadvantage here but does it appear Espe might have a slight edge in the battle for unworthy Ricardo? After all she has been through, I can't see her not with him in the end. Is someone going to ride in out of nowhere for Cris?
I'm so disappointed in Mario. What a wimp. I'm holding out hope that he will wake up before it's too late. Vivi is a gem.
Is something going to happen so that Ernesto doesn't get the kidney?? What has me worried more than anything is that I don't think Ernesto is going to hurt Ricardo (simply because he saved Adrian. Does that mean he has someone else in mind? (Gulp). I'm not even going to put in writing what I'm fearing.
Your vocabulary was stellar as was the screen shot. Thank you Nandicta!

Nandicta, I just saw A Que No Me Dejas is going to be broadcast at 2 pm!
I can't believe it! I was so looking forward to seeing it - Arturo Peniche and Leticia Calderon??
Why couldn't they have broadcast that at 8 (and moved the current new 8 shot to 7??)
So frustrating.

Thank you, Nandicta, for your very enjoyable and insightful recap.
Diana, I wish you could have seen this with us all. What they need to do is push La Rosa de Guadalupe back to afternoons and put another novela in the p.m. slot. I am disappointed that there is NOTHING of the same ilk as Amores con trampa or Qué pobres tan ricos, or even Antes muerta que Lichita waiting in the wings. It has turned into all drama all the time. Ugh!
Funniest scene: La Tuerta forcing Silvana's head through the jail cell bars. Silvana should have known "What have you done for me lately?" is La Tuerta's motto.
Best scene: Cristina walking into Ricardo's apartment now post breakup. You could feel her discomfort at suddenly being out of place even BEFORE she saw she saw the "two" flower arrangements.
If La Virgen de la Paz saves Paulo at the last second and he recovers, then this thing will have to be renamed "La Rosa de la Virgen de la Paz."
Mario was like a little kid throwing a tantrum. He should not be able to apologize enough to Viviana for what he put her through. Viviana should get out while she is ahead and leave town with BOTH kidneys.
Is anyone confident that Ernesto will not just squander his new kidney like he did Luca's kidney? The very fact that he did not take care of the first transplanted kidney makes me very ambivalent about him getting another one.
Sure hope Ernesto finally does take care of Tracy "personally" before his surgery just like she took care of Ciro who got too big for his britches.

Jarifa:
Don't give them any ideas. Azteca already has another copy+paste of LA ROSA DE GUADALUPE, but to make us think it was "original", they call it EL MILAGRO DE LOS SANTOS and feature a different saint in every episode. Too bad only 1% of the mexican population has left the guadalupan path to follow other "faiths". juaréver...
Have you heard that saying: if the head goes through the whole body goes through? She should be out already!

"Mario was like a little kid throwing a tantrum. He should not be able to apologize enough to Viviana for what he put her through. Viviana should get out while she is ahead and leave town with BOTH kidneys".
I have to say I agree on both counts. I can't believe I'm saying this but the fact Ernesto has reverted back to the dark side means he doesn't deserve the kidney. And you are right of course, he didn't take care of Luca's either.
With no recaps for the 8 show, that is out for me. I have seen a few Ana's but need to catch up. I could use a little humor too Jarifa. Too bad Looney's programmer seems to be asleep at the wheel.

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, amigowz!
Pablo, you killed me with the Michelin man.
Steve, they can't eliminate that annoying Kracy fast enough
Diana, just as we align perfectly on Ernesto, the same goes for our positions regarding Anya and Mario. I found "something is seriously amiss with this girl" from day one. I feel like she might snap and get Kracy stalkerish at the slightest setback in her burgeoning relationship with Pedro. Maybe Kristel's return will set her off? As for Mario, I thought he was schmuck from the first episodes. His drooling over that teacher who worked at the Palacios, lying to her about him being a married man (married to her boss no less!), making her pay for all their dates, only to chicken out and let her get fired from her job from lifting finger to defend her... That's a wimpish jerk if I've ever seen one!
Jarifa, I've liked Viviana ever since she changed from her early caricatural characterization. I just wish she wouldn't continue letting the men in her life walk all over her and tell her what she should do, how she should feel or how she should run her life. And yes, she should pull a Triana Fonseca and disappear from Sueñolandia without Mario and with BOTH her kidneys.
You're "La Rosa de la Virgen de la Paz" was hilarious! I've always felt that this show is low-quality, low-budget and made on the fly, without much thought or effort like those programas unitarios in the vein of "La Rosa de Guadalupe" and "Como Dice El Dicho". However, I've changed my mind since then. Those shows are a step up from SdA!

I meant *Your. Bah! I can't spell today. Sorry, Jarifa!
Diana, I've posted a synopsis for "A Que No Me Dejas" and a call for recappers on the main blog page. I'll be recapping it because the show is worth the effort but I don't have a team yet. I hope you and the rest of the amigowz can join us for the premiere. :)

Nandicta, I work and am simply unable to watch any of the afternoon shows. I would love to have a dvr but I don't own one currently. I am truly sorry I won't be with you and the rest of the patio with this one...
Uni's programming sucks. Not eloquently stated, but the truth.

I saw episode 118 of Sueno (no 117 on the On Demand listings) just now...
What really struck me was the total decimation of Mario and Silvana's family. Silvana was always evil and doomed from the start so her demise was expected. Mario was under the thumb of his wife, too meek and mild to speak up. He was fortunate enough to receive a second chance with the wonderful Vivi. Yet, with his outrageous outbursts of anger and misplaced priorities, he squandered that opportunity.
Salma experienced some hard life lessons, but instead of learning from them, she too regressed and is as lost as ever. Will it be up to the sniveling, whiny Kristel to return and try and fix her fractured family? Thank heaves Marg has her Felix so she is not along. What a sad state of affairs.

O Nandita what an action-packed episode of Wills this is. Ernesto's will is to have rickypoo move on outta his way so he can have espranzababy all to himself. I really wish he would. I like rickypoo better with ChristyV than I Do with pushy espy.
I'm starting not to like pushy pato, at her wedding cramin her Momma down Rickypoo's throat, you've loved each other for over 20 years, she's the love of your life, you are the love of her life, you love her and she loves you, blah blah blah. Oh shut up and throw your bouquet at somebody.
Poor Margarita, she shouldn't blame herself for her screwed-up spawn. she's crazy like her dad who used to beat mom margarita, she had to protect her daughter from her crazy ass Daddy and she grew up to be worse. she's right where she is supposed to be. I hope she stays there the rest of the show.
Ernie apologize for what he's about to do. kill kracy. That remains to be seen. I didn't see this episode yet but I like the recap, so I'll go on demand this weekend. we're still getting rain from hermine, so that will be a good distraction from the bad weather, which isn't bad because I like rainy weather. I get to stay in and don't have to go to work.
Thanks Nandicta, Those of you that celebrate Labor Day, have a safe one.

Nina, "Oh shut up and throw your bouquet at somebody." was just perfect. Pato was a real pain trying to sell Ricardo on Esperanza.
Diana, "Uni's programming sucks. Not eloquently stated, but the truth." It looks like they're reconsidering the premiere date and the timeslot for A Que No Me Dejas, AGAIN!
You're right, the destruction of the Conde-Kuri family was random and totally unnecessary. There is enough drama to go around in the "ligt comedy", what was the point of adding another broken relationship?
Nina, you're a hoot! I love your nicknames: "Rickypoo" and "Esperanzababy". "Oh shut up and throw your bouquet at somebody!" made me laugh out loud! Oh my God, how annoying was she? I was especially ticked off because her dad was just there seconds ago and she was telling him that her happiness isn't complete without him. And as soon as he stepped away, she tells Rickypoo that her happiness is for him and her mom to get hitched. She's Margarita n°2, going between the different people gathering gossip and telling each party what they want to hear.
Have a great Sunday, amigowz!

Thanks Nandicta! I fast forwarded thru most of the episode.
Pato's dress was too old for her. She is 18 right. That was a dress for a much older bride. I think they were trying to make it look like she was turning into a woman now and not a child bride.
I know Ric is super good looking but he is absent a personality and sense of humor. Both these women could do "more interesting".

Thanks, Carvivlie! You're right, the episode was a bore! A wedding that has been built up and built up only to be a meh affair on the one hand, and on the other hand we had all the drama and waterworks of Paulo's drug overdose. As usual, Osorio does his sinister cocktail of side-by-side tragedy and exuberance. The best example of this Osorio trademark technique was showing scenes of Esperanza shaving her head, due to the chemo, juxtaposed with scenes of Ricardo and CVV playing slap-and-tickle for the first time. It was very distasteful and frankly disrespectful towards the sacrifice that Betty Monroe made, giving away her long luscious hair for such a mediocre novela.
"That was a dress for a much older bride. I think they were trying to make it look like she was turning into a woman now and not a child bride." Hahaha, that's true! However, what aggravated me most was that one single line of lacing going through the transparent sleeve. I don't know about you, but I found that unflattering, regardless of the age of the bride. Either make it a proper dentelle sleeve or go sleeveless. That odd detail along with that slit that went all the way to her upper thigh area were an odd combination. Pato had tried more flattering gowns and accessories when she was in the bridal shop with her mom, a couple of episodes ago. Why-oh-why did she choose this dress?
Oh well! Why am I complaining? There are worse things about this novela than that dress!
You're right about Ricardolt's robotic demeanor and extremely dull personality. Even without all his confusion, poor darling, he was uninteresting and overrated.

Thank you for letting us know, Jarifa. Pablo had kindly notified me this morning but we were a bit confused because there was a discrepancy in the information of the online TV guides.
It looks like the bozos at Looneyvision are going to milk Juan Gabriel's death for all it's worth.
And since I'm here, there is a detail I meant to mention before and forgot. Nothing of major importance. Just wanted to let you know that that cute redheaded pupil that greeted Ricardolt on Tuesday is Cris de la Fuente's real-life daughter, Laura. She was visiting her father in Mexico during filming and she received that brief cameo.
Have a lovely evening, amigowz! Catch you tomorrow evening for Tuesday's recap.

I saw a few more episodes yesterday (posted out of order, natch, thanks Uni. blech)...but still am several episodes behind.
I can't figure out how this is going to end. I thought Ric was leaning toward Espe but now, I'm not sure.
I'm still puzzled that Aranza is alone. Smart, funny, loyal. The perfect friend and should have been the perfect girl friend. I don't get it.
Anastasia and Erasmo must end up together. If not, he's even thicker than I thought.
Mario turned out to be one of the biggest losers here. And that's saying quite a bit...

Amigowz, please do forgive me but you'll have to wait until after midday tomorrow for Tuesday's recap. I had to buy a new internet router 'cause the old one croaked on me and as a result I'm running late on all my recaps. The penultimate episode of Yago turned out to be the finale and it was so crammed with happenings, I had to report most of the dialogue word for word. I also have to post the recap for the double-episode premiere of El Color de la Pasión, which is only halfway done. Sorry, but it has been one of those days. Apologies for the delay. catch you tomorrow! Good night :)
Nandicta, no apologies necessary!
Your work and efforts on this have been outstanding. I cannot wait to read your El Color de la Pasion recap!
We so appreciate everything you have done - your recaps have been amazing. It will be well worth waiting for!

Ms NaN don't stress, I understand the brake down of electronics. Its very annoying when that happens. When your recaps show up they're gonna be bomb shells, they always are. :)
