Caray, Caray!

Ria, thank you for the wonderful recap!

Ana Leticia had a difficult episode. LOL with tío Mariano wanting to find the mystery woman in Jennifer's death and Ana Leticia finding out Iñaki really knew nothing about Ana Lucía after she prostituted herself for info. Maybe she is starting to lose her touch. . .

It was good to see Santiago back and actually getting some medical care. For me it has been too much Marcelo who reminds me of an Evaristo in training.

On to tonight!
 

Thank you for the recap Ria.

Its seems to me that Santiago is hiding the truth from Ana Lucia for selfish reasons. They are all keep saying that they are doing it to protect her from the truth...What kind of reason is that? Everyone is really annoying right now. In fact I wouldn't mind if Ana Leticia confronts Ana Lucia, at least she gets to know the truth and I know that she won't die from the confrontation, not yet anyway.
 

Thank you for the recap Ria.

In fact I hope Ana Leticia confronts Ana Lucia face to face, at least she gets to find out the truth, and I know she won't be killed after the confrontation, not yet anyway.
 

Gracias, Ria.

I think Santiago is sincere in wanting to protect Ana Lucia. He knows that she would not shrink from confrontation with her nasty sister. He may instinctively know that Ana MeMeMe is as dangerous as an asp in the grass. It could be that "Marcelo" is becoming "visible" to "Santiago" and that is what the headaches are about. It's a relief that he's finally in a hospital to be tested.

There is a shot of Isidro, I think adjacent to the one of Rodrigo and his cell. It is completely creeping me out that this old perv is pursuing Ana Lucia.

Momentito....

Since Ana MeMeMe wasn't above impersonating Ana Laura, why doesn't she impersonate Ana Lucia and marry the old geezer, knock him off, and take all his dinero?

Maybe more later.
 

Thank You Thank You Gracias Ria. A boring job, but someone's gotta do it.

Ha ! Inaki are you happy now? What you bargained almost NO information for should now not be nearly as valuable to you. (Already plowed that field....etc. etc.) I love seeing someone get one over on Ana L'Viper.

Knowing these TN writers, I am now apprehensive of Lucy in the sky being up in the air with her silks. Seeing her practicing at home I thought stay on the ground for a while girl. " won't let me down 'Cause I'm already standing on the ground" you know?


TOA


 

And they need to put a bell on that sneaky little bitch too.
 

RIa..thank you for that excellent recap. I was entranced watching ANaLEtmeseduceyou work her magic on weak-willed , randy INaki. However, even though watching her slithering up and down his body was spellbinding to both INaki and me, I couldn't keep my eyes open after a long day, so I went to bed at 9.30. THerefore, I missed INaki actually scoring a goal! Evidently, all three of us ended up in bed at 9.30. I thought that our AnaLetme was just teasing him as she always has, but INaki finally scored. Time for a shot if penicillin, Inny.

TOA .."plowed that field" ..hmmmm...that was an actual line in Outlander in season one delivered by another nasty, cheeky, little witch !!!!
 

Ria- You did a fantastic job with a somewhat dull (except for the roll in Inaki's sheets) episode. I was worried there that Inaki would weaken and spill all he knew about AnaLu. He didn't even flinch when murder for nookie was mentioned. But he was smart enough to get his reward first, and then to play dumb. Good job Inaki! Love seeing AnaLet frustrated.

I'm going to give Ramiro a big pat on the back and a gold star for giving Llora enough info to stop her tears; jumping back on the Valeria fraud case (despite still wondering about the dead hooker thing); and forcing SantMarc to go see a doctor and check himself into the hospital. Now maybe we can finally find out what's wrong with him.

Glad to see both Nerina and Chana encouraging Sol to tell AnaLu the truth, before she finds out elsewhere. Remedios seems to now fully bought into Sol's reasoning for lying and hiding the truth. Ugh!
 

Vivi: But when one of the 'girls' tried to nail SoeBad down on coming clean, she defiantly said NEVER. No Way. Not gonna happen.

Of course SoBad is in about as strong a bargaining position as AnaLetmescrewyou was in negotiating with Marc last episode. She really does not have a leg to stand on. Of the 35 million people in Mexico, Ana Luc is the only one who does not know who her bio Mom is. OK SoilyBad, don't tell her, we will. HUH? Oh Noooooo.


TOA
 

Thanks, Ria. I actually felt a little sorry for Ghoulietta last night. Hell, I even felt bad for Inaki. He must REALLY be horny for AnaLet to pass up a chance to get some money from his biomom. I laughed when he said that he was only just now realizing that the "other woman" was AnaLet's sister. Hahahaha!!

What's that little invisible mark on Inaki's forehead? I think it's an expiration date. I can't quite read it, but I do think his days are numbered.
 

on the list for 5150, Yeah, but I liked the older Van Halen stuff better. :-)
Wouldn't have anything to do with a special type of jacket would it?
 

Ria, loved your recap as usual, you do a great job. Also loved the reference to "5150". If anyone doesn't know what that means, it's a California law code that means that someone is taken into psychiatric custody in the hospital for a 3 day hold because they are a danger to themselves or others. Yep, that's about sums up Ana LeMeMeMe.
 

Julie, I think Inaki will survive for awhile just because the actor's name is before the title of the show in the credits.
 

Ria, thanks for the wonderful recap! I keep missing the show and have started to enjoy the recaps more than watching.


 

Thank you Ria! Great recap!

I have to thank you for reminding me what else happened last night, because honestly, there was steam coming from the back of my TV and I couldn't quite remember the dull scenes after watching Inaki and AnaLoon. Holy Hitchkock Batman...those two were..well, we all saw. (If Rulli was on set, he was sweating.) Well acted, well scripted and well directed. Had a hoot watching those two. AnaLoon's side eyes were a scream.

And honestly, I was raising my glass at the end from the "Inaki is redeemable" table when he played AnaLoon. I was worried I'll admit that he would spill the frijoles on AnaLu and be in the enemy camp right away. Not to say I still feel totally warm and fuzzy with these two, but at least he gave us a fun twist at the end there.

My fear really....and I always have this. AnaLoon gets a surprise and gets pregnant and she passes it off as Marcelo's. I keep having this sick feeling a baby is popping up somewhere in this yet ( and not the possible past one).

Now we get to compare that to Ram and Llora...YAWN! and the flashback of AnaLu and Santi ( not quite a yawn, but same old same old.)Would I rather watch our nutjob and Mr. Macho? Oh, yes I would.

Glad that at least we finally get Santi some medical help. Anyone have the cliche bingo square for brain tumor?
 

Wow, you go Inaki, I'm almost proud of you wingman.
Her bumpers sure retain their shape on impact. !

TOA
 

I swear tonight I am getting my stopwatch out and see how many minutes of actual show we see. This is like Days of our Lives or General Hospital where you tune in six years later and they are still arguing about the desert at the reception. AAAAarrrrggggh. :-)





TOA
 

Funny you should mention GH, TOA. I used to watch it faithfully. Then I stopped. After about a year, I watched one episode. There had been a lot of turnover on the cast, lots of new people, and I didn't know half of the characters... but they were still talking about the same old stuff. Apparently, there is no limit to how long you can milk a storyline if you keep throwing new people into it who have to be brought up to speed, and each of those new people can find a new way to prolong the problem.

I can check the actual run time for an episode (without commercials) on Hulu. I think it's 44 minutes. But if you mean you're going to measure the amount of time spent advancing the plot, a stopwatch might not be precise/sensitive enough.
 

DaisynJay: OMG Inaki Ewwupi? Nooo.
 

Another thing, ever notice that while most episodes barely budge the plot, occasionally there is an episode where everything seems to move at once? (Or is that only my imagination?) I wonder what is the justification for that. It would be nice if they spread it out a little more evenly.
 

Julie, yes - that is absolutely true. It moved faster during the double episode weeks, because instead of one action-packed day a week, we were getting two. We are now probalby moving towards some brain tumor for Santicelo, so that will create some drama/action.
 

By the way, I have heard that Televisa officially announced there will be 120 total episodes.

I will comment more later, but also wanted to let everyone know that Julie will take over Monday recapping for us starting next week, so we will have one recapper a day for each weekday. A big yay for Julie!!!
 

Julie: Thanks, I actually meant the time the show is in 'operation', so to speak, without the loooong lead-in before and after each commercial break. I have noticed that if I am trying to do something else and only stop while the characters are on the screen, I get about as much done as when the show is not on. Maybe I am just bored. I would venture it is more on the line of 30 minutes. I set up my Galaxy Tablet with a stopwatch, so that phone calls will not interrupt, and charged the battery. If that pesky little hurricane wannabe Hermine doesn't blow anything down or wash it away, I will have results tomorrow. I am in SouthWest FloriDuh.



TOA
 

TOA, thank you for your efforts on behalf of Science!

Thank you for the intro, Ria. I hope I can keep up the fine standards that you and the team have established. This will be an interesting change of pace after Yago.

So we're back down to 120 episodes? I hope that means that the pace will pick up a bit.

I've also been thinking about this show from the producers' point of view. All along I've been wanting AnaLu to come back to the family tree... but from a production standpoint, that'll be a huge PITA. It's tricky enough to show just AnaLet and AnaLlora together. Once AnaLu shows up, there are going to be more two-way scenes and probably even a few three-way scenes. Those are going to be a nightmare, logistically. I know AB has a stand-in, but does the stand-in have a stand-in?

I'm still sorry that the triplets won't have more time together. I am thinking AnaLet buys an AnaLu wig, then AnaLu gets an AnaLet wig, and then the three sisters spend the next few weeks swiping each others' wigs and creating all kinds of mischief. For example, I'd like to see AnaLet get an ankle injury, and then AnaLlora can pass herself off as a limping AnaLet.

OK, maybe it's a terrible idea. I'm just sad about all the opportunities that are being missed.
 

Daisynjay...I am with you on enjoying NUtjob and MR.Macho. Mr. macho is Mr. Happy...kid in a candy store happy ...MVP happy. Congrats..you can cross that off your bucket list

TOA..I hope the hurricane misses you. I have friends in NAples.
 

Thanks, Ria.

Yay, Inaki played dumb about AnaLu even after the AnaLe lay!
 

I think that Ana MeMeMe will probably impersonate Ana Lucia at least once, maybe to frame her for murder to get her out of the way.

Inaki is such a fool.
 

AnaLet would need to observe AnaLu first before she gets that wig (or perm) and tries to impersonate her. Or she would have to make sure NOT speak to anyone so that they wouldn't catch on. The reason her AnaLlora impersonation worked is because she knows her sister so well.
 

Susan, Hermine is afraid of us here in Sarasota. He/She/It headed North of us.

Inaki isn't too foolish, ignoring the obvious. He got what he wanted, in exchange for zilch.

Julie I like your scenario too, if I followed the triple reverse logic. :-)
Let can easily impersonate Luc, and vice versa, but Peg is gonna have a time with those hotpants.


TOA
 

Oh, good point. I don't think we've seen AnaLet in long pants even once. A twisted ankle won't be enough.
 

AWESOME recap Ria! Aside from the Inaki playing the beast with 2 backs (as well as 2 faces), this epi was boring (so was mine, hope the rest of the week isn't like this). I checked out for most of the show, so I def appreciate the recap. Too many good ones, but listed the faves....

as the rest of the characters are currently (and ironically) on the list for 5150, some quite literally

...and one cape spin later, he is gone into the night

Rem will stay there to protect him from under-the-bed monsters

...might just have to close her eyes and think of England as he showers her with besos....Sometime later it appears she is thinking of whole Europe by now.....while Inaki mentally high fives himself.......With blood circulation now fully restored to his brain
 

Too many funny comments here, and I'm also in on the BINGO game for brain tumor. The epi was a snore, but once again Inaki shows up to save us with his goofy entertaining manner. As soon as he dropped the bomb on AnaLet, I threw my fist in the air. No ignorance about the fact that he killed his own brother, but I can't help love & root for this character. He has this thing about him that makes him too lovable. I'm seated right next to you Daisy, somehow he redeemed himself. It's not that murder is ok, but I never gave a fig about Dani --who btw is an accomplice to attempted murder himself. So in my eyes, Inaki was doing the world a favor by getting rid of a heartless s.o.b. While at first, Inaki seemed not too far off from his bro (for being a kill-hound under this devoradora's command), I'm thinking that this epi proves he may not stoop as low as his bro just yet.

JULIEEEEEEEE I'm so happy for you/Me alegro por ti! I can't wait to see what you bring b/c your comments always have me cracking up or thinking "hmm, she makes a good point there".

Happy for you too, Ria b/c these epi's are butt breaking! My tushy is always in need of a rub by the end of my recap day lol.
 

Hi everyone! Finally getting some quality computer time!

Jarifa - A difficult day for Ana Le indeed. I was actually sort of surprised that she only slapped him!

Anon 8:53 - I think there is both a bit of selfishness and protectiveness in Santi's hiding of the truth from on Ana Lucia. And actually, I hope your wish comes true and we do get the meeting of the sisters soon!

Urban, you made me laugh with your plan for Ana Le. You know what, substitute Isidro's money for someone information she needs, and I wouldn't put it past her.

TOA - very good point on the fall danger that Ana Le might be in, especially with her crazy sister on the loose. Oh, now I hope that it is not part of the plot. Too many hospitals in this novela already.

Susanlynn, oh too funny and too true on the penicillin reference!!

Vivi, I was surprised as well that Inaki didn't spill the beans. In the spirit of still hoping this character somehow will redeem himself, I would like to think that he did not tell about Ana Lu out of some form of protectiveness, knowing the murderous streak behind Ana Le.


Julie, I hope Inaki lives through the novela, if not for him, then for Tadeo.

Anon 12:26 - how funny with the Van Halen reference and same here btw!








 

Cynthia, so true - Ana Le needs that trip indeed!

Carvivlie, we are missing you here, come around more often!!

Daisy, that's totally what I thought as I was watching yesterday!! I can swear they're setting him up for a brain tumor and that will be a very tried and tired scenario.

Niecie, that was an unexpected surprise from Inaki indeed!

Anna, thanks amiga. I am very excited for us to be able to read Julie's recaps and very much looking forward to that. And definitely would not mind an extra "free" night too :)
 

Sorry to be chiming in so late. Thursday is almost always a lost day for me. But add me to the list of those who loved the Iñaki/Ana Leticia scene. Well played old son.

And thanks for educating me on 5150. I was like "huh, whuh...?" Learning something besides Spanish, yay!

Llora doesn’t let Ramiro even wipe off the sweat of his face and continues down her honey-do list." Superb. As was this about Ana Laura..."tough customer who is not afraid to cry if delivered sub-standard service."

Yessss, I'm afraid Ramiro is going to have to work very hard, all of his life, for some occasional tepid but tender lovemaking from our wan little sweetheart.

Always an entertaining recap Ria. Definitely better than the episode, other than the smokin' hot lust scene between our two dubious but attractive characters.

And hoping all in Florida, and elsewhere, are safe from the storm. It's been a tumultuous year weather-wise.
 

JudyB, I thought the same about Llora and Ramiro - hopefully he's up to such an exciting home life. Hope your Friday was less busy!
