Telemundo... (rumors)

wiki is listing start dates for,

"El Chema" December 6, 2016
"La Fan" January 3, 2017

 

General—Thanks deb! I'm on board with anything Aracely after Los Miz. And the 9 o'clock slot is perfect for me.
 

General

Thanks, Deb. This is interesting. I thought it would be a re-make of Doña Bárbara, and maybe it is. But they're not calling her Bárbara. And, the one with Edith González took place on a ranch and seemed earlier in time than the present. I saw a promo for it, and it appears to be taking place right now, at least judging by the clothes.
 

General

Thanks, Deb. I guess Martres isn't going to happen. I wonder what made them think it would.

Novelera, according to the article cited by deb, "The ambitious production [La Doña] is a story inspired by the classic novel “Doña Bárbara,” by Rómulo Gallegos."
 

SIN SUENOS:
DANG!!DANG! DANG IT, MY SHOW IS WRAPPING UP!!BUT IN REFLECTION. I reviewing some of the pivotal chapters...
..’Die Mama Die’ .When Diablo had her mother’s body brought to the house, rotting and decomposing!! Ghoulish, but Diabla is a blood thirsty ghoul, so it figures Ok. I kind of get it, last good byes.
I am sorry this is another awesome scene, girlfriend chewed it up! She had soul-pain ‘howling ‘mama’, [I almost felt sorry for her? Nah!]...She asked why she couldn’t buy her life back!!
“IF LIFE WAS A THING THAT MONEY COULD BUY –THE RICH WOULD LIVE AND POOR WOULD DIE’!!
First,She ‘fell- out’ over the corpse, then she ‘laid –out’, then she almost” passed out’, par-for-course, given how she is knocking back that fifth.

Then She “rocked- out’ and started screaming and shouting for her momma, When didn’t that dead woman sat up and started talking to her daughter, I almost fell out!!
I guess the dead must have got salvation because grandma, told the truth of how Jessica the mal Alma, /evil bitch, was created. Jessica was so blitzed she had mental/schizoid diarrhea. It this moment of soul revelation [or psychotic hallucination], yessica had flashbacks and was tripping about her childhood which was ravaged by animals!! Chicken hawks/men!
But then ,didn’t she start really tripping, Daniela almost got blasted! Then the Catalina delusion, girl! I thought I was gonna lose it!When the phantom, opened her eyes and started goaling Yessica ,I had to pick my jar up off the floor!! Like that wasn’t deep enough, didn’t the heifer start pumping lead into the body of her own mama, Je**s Chr**t! Daniela’s dumbass almost got shot by yessica in her delirium!! I wish she had shot the baby psycho. But the heifer ducked! Bummer!
Captain put a bug in Daniela ear about getting psychiatric help, Por favor!! In what rehab or psych ward will she participate in?? Can you really see Jessica participating in therapeutic community, working on ‘Getting Centered” within group therapy Healing session or Holistic counseling!! What parallel universe are they talking about??!!
That Yessica was TURNED OUT as a child b yher mother is no surprise, that Danielle is a brat, no shock, that Yessica discovered she is intrinsically evil, heavy ?!! nothing like 500 mg of valium and coke to facilitate her exhibiting insight and self-awareness?
I like the writers of this novella, they have demonstrated psychological dimensions in their characters?! So, momma had to come back and talk to the devil’s stepchild. Her ghost asked Jessica to have a ‘COME –TO-JESUS-MOMENT... to lay it on the alter and pray. I see a whole bunch of people’s deaths on the way!!


 

Sin Senos (monday) 75

Yesica reveals herself to Anibal who talks about how he suffered thinking she was dead, but when they hug, he has a look of horror on his face.

Yesica explains that the Capitan came up with the body they buried in her place, her boyfriend is in prison for murdering her.

but Yesica is there for the safe, who ever took it will die.

Cata and Hernan are at his house, they reminisce, and fall into bed together, but Cata wants to wait, Nana's funeral and all, she wants their first time to be special.

so they look over what Pipe left Hernan, it's deeds and such belonging to Marcial, that should have belonged to Cata 1, and now her parents.

Daniela is hurting that Hernan betrayed her, she swears she will kill him.

Pipe's mom is at Vale's house but no one is there.

Cata arrives at Vanessa's house where all are assembled before going to the wake, and brings along Hernan, he tells his story, plus the death of his mother, they all agree they are targets as well as victims, and decide to join together to get justice.

Hernan gives the deeds to Alberio and Hilda, there are so many, more than Yesica declared to the judge, they will make copies and give them to their lawyer.

Yesica and Anibal are waiting for the investigators to leave before going home, they are getting finger prints and samples, Daniela is suppose to act like she just found out Yesica is alive.

Anibal's guys try dropping the safe but still can't open it, they go for a blowtorch.

Yesica tells Anibal that wasn't even her biggest safe, she doesn't care about the money, it's Marcial's deeds, there were 20 times the amount that anyone knew about.

at the wake Hilda asks Alberio about Hernan's return, he says it's a good thing, they both agree it makes Cata happy, but they both have bad feelings, he escaped from Diablo and they must be turning over every stone to find him, and what if they do and he's with Cata?

Martina wakes Titi up, she wants to leave in case Gato comes back, Titi says he'll talk to him, better yet he'll get Marcial, who has done business with Gato, to help.

meanwhile Marcial is drinking alone in a room reminiscing how all he wanted was money and power and now that he has neither all the people around him have left him, he feels alone and abandoned.

Cata says her goodbyes to Adriana, talks about what a wonderful person she was, never hurt anyone, and breaks down, Cata should have died in the blast, not her.

Yesica makes it home with Anibal, they call in the Capitan, he has three sets of prints, he'll know whose they are tomorrow, Anibal says one would be his since he lives here, and Daniela tosses out that the others are probably his bodyguards who were all in the room that day, Yesica wants Anibal to explain as the Capitan looks on, but he's stumbling.

 

SILVANA – LUNES

Sorry. For unexpected circumstances this will be very brief. And, rats. it was one of the better episodes. Please, lots of comments.

The Three Stooges are at the Dog Shrink. Javito bites the doctor and manages to get his watch inside the dog crate.

Mauro is too over the top with Lucha and finally loses me as his advocate. Andrés calls Lucha and she goes to see him. Mauro not best pleased.

Manuel’s truck won’t start. They try to get two rooms but, of course, only a single is available at the only hotel in Key West.

Andrés tells Lucha he needs to be distracted. When Lucha insists on knowing what’s wrong he tells her about MJ and Vicente having had sex. He goes on to tell her that he and MJ never had sex. He says he always respected her wishes. He calls himself a fool. Lucha tells him it’s not his fault what happened. They kiss.

Manuel tells Chivis he’s content to only sleep together. First Lupita calls and then Trini gets on the phone and booooorrrring. Manuel tells Vicente to let Poncho know that he needs to open up the terminal in the morning.

Manuel and Chivis play some kind of game. She wins. She asks him what his wife was like. Manuel says Marisol had dark hair like Vicente, but curly like Jorge, and was a warrior like Lucha. He tells her that one of her last wishes was that he care for the children and fall in love again. But he couldn’t do it until now.

Manuel asks Chivis what will happen when “El Bandido” gets out of jail. She says they’ll help him as a family, but she isn’t going to live with him again.

Vicente calls Poncho to ask him to open the Terminal. Stella finds out Manuel is stranded in Key West and is ready to go there. But she finds out that Chivis is there with him. She has a hissy fit.

Vicente is ready to leave to pick up his father. Majo jumps in the vehicle. Vicente is very cute telling her about when they are old and she’ll thank him for having pursued her.

At the end, AJ shows up with a lot of balloons at Casa Chivis!

 

SILVANA

novelera - Thank you for the recap!

I loved, loved, loved all the Manvis scenes! Those two are so cute together. But oh my goodness, what self control to sleep in the same bed and stay on your own side, with PapiChulo on the other. ;-)

I FFWD>>> thru the vet visit. Is his watch still in the crate?

My English subtitles had Chivis saying she wanted to play Monopoly. I was sewing thru this episode, but when I glanced at the screen, I could not tell if that really was Monopoly. I was more confused about a hotel having a board game in the room. LOL

Good on Lucha for calling Andres out after putting horndog moves on her immediately after breaking up with Majo. Did they actually kiss? (I was sewing) It looked to me more like he nuzzled Lucha.
Andres is going to have to work to get her, and he'll appreciate her more for it.

The scene with Vicente and Majo, in the car before they left to go rescue Manvis, was really very good.
 

Silvana

Thanks very much, novelera, for writing a recap in spite of the obstacles that the Blogger software is currently putting in the user's path. [For anyone who's not sure what I'm talking about, as of last week, some kind of glitch prevents us from posting our comments (including recaps) if we try to preview them first.]

I'd been fearing for a while that AJ would show up to confront Chivis before or during her trip with Manuel to Key West. So I was somewhat relieved when he finally showed up at the house with his bundle of balloons while she wasn't there. Of course, I imagine he'll be there when she gets back, but at least she had a great time.

It looks as if now that he's out of jail, AJ may get a visit from Stella. Last night I think she again told the other two Stooges that she was going to tell AJ what was going on between Chivis and Manuel. She was discouraged when the other Stooges pointed out that he was still in jail, but now that everyone will soon know that he's out, she may follow through with her plan/threat.

For some reason, I wasn't all that engaged by last night's episode. I think my mind was on today's Upcoming Event. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between telenovelas and Real Life.


 

Silvana. Excellent brief recap, novelera. It hit all the high points! Oh boy, having to share a room due to transportation problems. Shades of "It Happened One Night," the start of the cliché. Fortunately it's ever cute! Here the blanket on top of the bed takes the place of the "walls of Jericho." I agree with doris. Good for Lucha! Refusing to be Andrés's rebound hookup! Also, his political and social conservatism might be a problem, more so than social class. Otoh, she's obviously stronger than he is, so within a few months of marriage, he would no doubt be the strongest champion of her social crusades. It's Dorotea and don Fernando (from Don Quijote) all over again. Oh no! AJ! But as has been noted, at least Manuel and Chivis had a wonderful day (and night) together. Tee hee, Juanita. Today's telenovela indeed!
 

SILVANA:

Thanks so much, novelera. I'm so glad the day in the Keys went off without a hitch-- or at least with a hitch that helped prolong the perfect day (a broken down car). :)

So, did Vicente go open the market before he came back home to pick up Majo to go to the Keys? Or did he get someone else to open the market?

I also applaud Lucha for not allowing herself to be a rebound booty call. He looked slightly drunk, so I might give Andres a pass on that. But if he was drunk, then why the hell was he driving?
 

Silvana. Vivi: Vicente had called Poncho to ask him to open the market--which he was going to do with the help of Dom and Stella.
 

SILVANA:

Ah! Thanks SpanProf!
 

Silvana

My issue with recapping last night wasn't about the technical problem we've been having. It had to do with a friend dropping by, the friend and I each downing a couple of shots of tequila, and my starting to watch the recording waaaay later than I'd planned. So it was too late when I watched, and I was too tired to write more! Confession is good for the soul, right?

So Vicente called asking Poncho to open up the Terminal because Manuel had broken down in Key West. Stella jumped up ready to go rescue him and then was told, I guess by Poncho, that Manuel had Chivis to keep him company. Stella was stopped in her tracks, and I'm sure there will be some retribution from her for this.

Also, I remember Trini making a sarcastic remark about the vehicle breaking down and their having to stay over. Angie basically told her not to have such an evil mind!

 

SILVANA

After Chivis called to explain the overnight delay, Trini started to tell the girls some story about herself and her husband (not sure if they were married at time of story) on some sort of motorcycle trip. She was interrupted and I don't think she finished the story.
 

SILVANA

I did not get the feeling Andres was drunk in his convo with Lucha. Most likely he was hurt, devastated, in shock, etc which might explain his behavior toward Lucha.
 

Silvana

Thanks for the recap, novelera!

Here are my random obversations and vocabulary from Monday’s episode:

Stella says she bought the dog para darme taco con un galán (to win over a guy).

Andrés admitted to Lucha that he has never slept with anyone since Majo insisted that she wanted to wait so they were both saving themselves for marriage. I think Majo also revealed this to Vicente when he knocked on the door to tell her about going to Key West (not sure why she felt the need to share that though). Was it just me or did she stop on the stairs before hearing the knock?

Lucha calls Andrés a partidazo (a great catch). At first he just rests his head on her shoulder, but then they kiss.

The game Manuel and Chivis was playing is called Basta (Categories). No idea why the English subtitles translated it as Monopoly since that’s not a pen & paper game! Later Manuel suggests they also play prendas, which is somewhat similar to truth or dare, but Chivis says no.

When Lucha’s yelling at Andrés - after he admits that there’s always been an attraction between them - she says she isn’t a plato de segunda mesa (a second choice).

Before that she mentioned something about telling herself that she would be able to accept his equipaje a cuestas (I think this means baggage in the figurative/emotional sense) if they were to get together.

Manuel had offered to sleep on the floor, but later Chivis says she’ll sleep under the covers and he can sleep on the bed next to her.

Trini, being overly dramatic as usual, said me va a dar un patatús (you’re going to make me have a fit) about Majo and Andrés possibly breaking up.

Nice to hear that Lucha is fine with Manuel and Chivis being together now. She said: Tiré la toalla (I threw in the towel).

Vicente asks Majo why she está tan de malas pulgas (is in such a bad mood) before making her laugh with his old person impression.
 

Silvana

Many thanks, J, for these additional comments, and especially for the Spanish phrases.
 

SILVANA

Oy, if I was ever in need of escapism...

I'd like to echo the sentiment of the person above who complimented Chivis on her self control in that hotel! Hahaha ;)
 

Silvana. Since it's pretty obvious that AJ won't be allowed to move in with Chivis, I wonder if he'll rent a room from don Benito. Poncho has moved back home after all. :)
 

Sin Senos (wednesday) 76

Yesica isn't buying Anibal's excuse, Capitan will check the prints of his guards tomorrow.

Daniela has ordered the Capitan to kill all at Adriana's funeral, Yesica is ok with that, they will use the new guys, and pay them $4000/month, but wants them to bring her Alberio, and what about the other people she ordered the Capitan to kill, he hasn't got around to it, yet.

Titi with Martina calls Marcial, who's drunk and playing the loneliness violin, when Titi says he wants a favor, Marcial says the only calls he gets are from people asking for favors, hangs up.

Titi tells Martina that Marcial just discovered he is a nobody.

Martina tells Titi she is falling in love with him, he doesn't return the sentiment.

Yesica adds Marcial to the hit list, Daniela says no, but then goes along with it, and she wants them to bring her Martina.

at the wake, Daniel tells Alberio they can count on him, Lucia softens when she sees Adriana's body, she doesn't want their child to die like that. Lucia also meets Hernan, and sees their gran amor.

Alberio, Hilda, Cata and Hernan will borrow Jota's jeep and stay at the finca, Alberio has cows to milk in the morning, Belen is reluctant to let Hernan stay there.

Titi and Martina do the deed, she asks if he'll ever love her, he tells her all the good things about her, but has another girl stuck in his head, who?, Catalina, and how do you know her, saw her a couple of times, Martina storms out.

Yesica also brings up Daniel and Lucia, not dead yet, gets on the Capitan, and adds Titi to the list.

Silvana sin Lana - Wednesday, November 9 - Capítulo 77, part 1/2

AJ hugs Lupita and Angie. Trini comes downstairs and is delighted to see AJ too. He wants to take the girls to school but Angie says no. Jorge knocks on the door and meets AJ (for the second time). AJ already seems to be suspicious of his daughter’s boyfriend.

Vicente tries to get Majo to talk on their way to Key West. She keeps looking at her phone and complains about him ruining her relationship with Andrés. Vicente stops the van. He tells her that she is worried about Andrés because she feels pity and guilt, but not because she’s in love with him. Majo doesn’t like that Vicente always assumes he knows what she’s thinking. He doesn’t know her. Vicente asks her to look him in the eyes and tell him that she doesn’t love him, and he will never bother her again. She protests that he’s already said that a thousand times. He points out that she has never said that she doesn’t love him. Vicente then asks her to look him in the eyes and tell him that she isn’t dying to kiss him. She looks at him and they kiss.

Stella whines about Manuel being with Chivis. Dom tells her she needs to format her mind like a computer and start over. Poncho warns her that one he’ll fall in love with another woman and she’ll miss her chance with him once she finally realizes that Manuel doesn’t love her.

Vicente and Majo arrive at the marina to pick up Manuel and Chivis. Majo immediately asks why they didn’t just call an Uber and why they’re at a marina anyway. Vicente laughs at how nervous Manuel and Chivis both seem to be with their answers (ok, excuses) for everything.

Trini tells AJ about how much Chivis has changed and their life in the barrio. AJ asks for her help in getting everything back to normal. He asks why Chivis is workng outside of Miami. Trini stumbles over her explanation and claims that Lupita was wrong about Chivis’ car breaking down and not sleeping at home the previous night. She claims that Chivis slept in her room and went to work early, like always. AJ decides to go upstairs and check out her room. He jumps on the bed and smells the pillows. He opens the closet as Sara walks in and jumps, not knowing anyone was in there. He asks if Chivis slept in the bed.

Sara says maybe, maybe not. AJ finally introduces himself as Chivis’ husband. Trini interrupts, trying to get AJ back downstairs. Sara offers to go the bakery to buy bread but Trini says no, I buy the bread in this house. AJ sits down to watch the Trini show and smiles at how she keeps trying to explain why she is the one who will go to the bakery. Sara reveals she came back to Miami because she’s in love with Don Benito. Trini orders her to finish cleaning while she goes to the bakery. Sara stays at first but then runs out after Trini.

At a gas station, Manuel and Vicente head inside. Majo fights with Chivis about being more careful since Lupita is catching on to her relationship with Manuel. Chivis makes it clear that she was honest with Lupita about separating from AJ. She also did not sleep with Manuel, if that’s what Majo was thinking. Besides, Majo should put her energy into her own life instead of interfering with Chivis’. Maybe then she’ll make better decisions. Chivis reminds her that she’s her mother and Majo doesn’t have the right to be warning her how to act.

At school, Angie is worried about her dad. Jorge already thinks he doesn’t like him. He seemed to be just like Trini to him. For some reason, Angie gets annoyed at Jorge for introducing himself as her boyfriend. She doesn’t want to talk about it right now. Margarita is watching them fight with a smile on her face. Jorge walks off as Angie receives a text from Andrés asking if they can talk.

AJ is sitting in the living room when Chivis, Manuel, and Majo walk in. Majo hugs him while Chivis remains by the door. She introduces him to Manuel. AJ has heard a lot about him, and asks him to stay so he can get to know him better.
 

Silvana sin Lana - Wednesday, November 9 - Capítulo 77, part 2/2

Trini arrives at the bakery first, out of breath. Sara rushes in right after and they both order at the same time. Margarita comes in after a few seconds and tells Trini she heard AJ is back and hopefully they’ll all be leaving the barrio soon.

Chivis tells AJ that Manuel needs to get back to work. AJ thanks him for helping out his family. Manuel says he will always be their friend before saying goodbye. Majo leaves the room so her parents can talk.

Trini tells Margarita they will probably be back in the mansion in a month. Sara assumes she will be out of a job then, and asks Don Benito if he will hire her to clean the bakery. Trini interrupts with a loud no! Sara will work at the mansion and AJ will offer her a great contract. Margarita jumps in that Sara had better make sure he doesn’t con her since that’s what he likes to do to people. Trini and Don Benito both yell at her for talking bad about AJ. Trini also says that soon Don Benito will never see her again… unless something major happens… she picks up a vase of flowers and imitates walking down the aisle but of course he still doesn’t get it.

Lucha admits to Mauro that Andrés kissed her.

Lupita tells Pedrito about her dad coming home. He’s worried that AJ will not like him. Lupita thinks that her mom will spend all her free time with AJ now.

Chivis is annoyed that AJ is acting like nothing has changed. They need to talk about things. He asks about her day and then rattles off things he has done, including taking his things up to her room. She is not amused that he thinks he’s going to stay there. She wants him to get his things and go. He begs her to let him stay for a few days.

Mauro wants to know if Lucha liked the kiss and what she felt. Lucha was angry because she felt that Andrés was just doing it to get back at Majo. She repeats that she likes him (Mauro), and he says they are ok. They hug.

Chivis and AJ keep fighting. She will not go back to their old life because it is over. She finally allows him to stay for a few days, but lets him know that everyone in the house is aware that they are separated and he had better stay away from her room.

Stella goes to talk to the vet. She brings him an ugly replacement watch since the dog won’t let her get near the real one. She starts to talk about Manuel and gets choked up. Kind of an odd ending to the episode.
 

Silvana. Excellent recap, J! Odd ending indeed, and ridiculous, though oddly fitting, that Stella would be seeing an animal psychologist about her problems. Once again, Vicente is both wise and right about MJ, though we wonder again what he sees in her. Totally silly Trini, Sara and don Benito episode as usual, and Margarita is disgusting as usual--this time twice! The sooner Chivis kicks AJ out, the better: He's delusional and thinks he has "won" by being allowed to stay for a couple of days.
 

Silvana.

Thanks so much, J, for the terrific recap of last night's episode, which was totally lacking in forward movement and character improvement for most of the people in the show. Liked: AJ watching the Trini Show!

And thanks also for the excellent expansion of my very brief Monday recap!

I thought AJ was just upset at seeing Angie being kissed by a boy and that she had a boyfriend at all, not any specific thing about Jorge. It seemed to me like the Latino stereotype that daughters have to be over-protected lest they might, God forbid, have sex. But maybe he did smell "working class" on Jorge.

Margarita and Stella both suffer from magical thinking. Each of them is hoping AJ will take away, respectively, Chivis and Angie. And that the result will be that the guy will return to them, in spite of the fact that said males have been completely disgusted with their behavior throughout.

Majo was in full sulky brat mode last night. I liked that Chivis basically told her to shove her criticisms. I didn't think Chivis owed her the fact that no sex occurred.

And Chivis was also firm with AJ about not sleeping in her room. I hope the sofa they bought isn't too cheap. Otherwise it might collapse under his weight. I suppose we're going to be subjected to days and maybe even weeks of his trying to get the girls to influence Chivis into taking him back. And days and weeks of his undermining the relationship between Manuel and Chivis. I suspect that day and night in Key West will be the last romance we'll see for a while.

Silvana

thanks so much J, I always enjoy your wonderful recaps!

this Trini / Benito thingy where she baits him, it seems like early on he would tell her what she wanted to hear, then she would turn on him, so he stopped going there, but now he just seems clueless, does she want him to propose (but they don't even kiss) and if he did she would probably say no, right?

nice that Stella has her own perra whisperer, and I think the dog has the watch around his neck.

 

Silvana

Thanks very much, J, for another fine recap. This episode didn't do much for me. I was pleased with Chivis telling Majo that she should pay more attention to her own life instead of bugging Chivis about hers, and that perhaps then Majo might make some better decisions. I also was glad that Chivis insisted that AJ remove his things from her room and not even think about sleeping there. Indeed, I think the only reason she didn't kick him out entirely was her concern for how the girls would respond.

Other than that, there was just more stupidity from Trini, Don Benito, and the Three Stooges, and more nastiness from Margarita. Yawn. And what's with Andrés? First he talks to Lucha, now he asks Angie to talk to him. Who's next--Lupita? Perhaps he should try Stella's dog doc.
 

Silvana. Juanita: Stella's dog doc! Very good!
 

SILVANA:

J- That was indeed an excellent recap. Like others, this episode really bugged me. I couldn’t tell if I was just in a bad mood in general, or if the episode was that annoying. But I know there’s a problem when the scene I found most endearing was the one between Stella and her perra whisperer (good one!). Too much AJ, sulky Majo, Trini, Sara, and Margarita! I hit the ffwd button a lot this episode. I don’t know how much AJ I can take. And I’ll definitely hit the roof when he gets Trini and the girls to pressure Chivis to let him back into her family/life/bed (blech!).

Characters, I LOVE TO HATE!
MUGROSO, the dude looked like that VAMPIRE: NOSFERATU!!
Chelo was down for anything evil as long as it paid. ‘F’ saving his mother!!They both died like they lived, in blood bath.

CAPTAIN, he is one to watch, he may survive all this and go into politics, he is killer, a sycophant, a narcissist and psychopath,
All of which are excellent qualities for public service and a Nacro-Novella.
The substitute’s bodies/cadavers that served in the line of duty for evil.
I am sick of NARCO- NOVELLAS!!!
Telemundo really needs to ’check- itself-b4 –its wrecks –itself’, with these stereotypes!
They have been fuel for political propaganda!
The mothers who have been sequestered, Pipe mom is the exception, but how the heck did she get back home?

But, just a few word about the Devil-Etta in training .Ms. Daniela, she has turned out to be a brain damaged socio path. But crap don’t fall far from the toilet.

She laughed at dead charred bodies!!
Every time she has an iota of human feeling her mother squashes that thought and then qualifies it as part of the scheme of things.
It’s how survival works. Not a shred of empathy.

I am sorry that she did not get her head blown off at the Cat-attack, that Mexican stand off!
But she held her own and did not crap her pants!!
Because her way of dealing with stress is to murder, ‘like mama taught me’! I think that in the end, Marcial will be her lifeline while she does jail time.


All of Cata’s friends are champions, but a little too reckless, but loyal!!Love them!!
Martina, what a slimy ’B’… to drug a child/who was really to cooperate. Really, how- low- can- you- go??
It’s the female pimps that are the most dangerous, because they are wolves in sheep clothing.
Gatos Gordo: where has he been, the punk-ass bastard!
Where did he stash his cash! He has new bodyguards, so he’s gotta be handling dough/some cash.
Gun men don’t work for free.

So he wants some service, what’s status with yessica gone??
What is his goals, with Daniela as competition??

J - Thank you for the recap!

I agree with The Patio, that this was an annoying episode. First AJ showing up (well, that was a rare one of my predictions that came true) and acting like nothing has happened, then Trini/Don B/Sara at the bakery, and Margarita. Ugh…..

Chivis is making a BIG MISTAKE letting AJ stay in that house. He will never leave. Ever. This will drag out over how many episodes???

I hope AJ does nothing to hurt Manuel, because he knows there is something between Manuel and Chivis.

Lucha’s whole Mauro/Andres thing is becoming an mirror of MariJose with Vicente/Andres.

I keep wondering just how Chivis and Manuel will end up together HEA. I don’t see AJ getting killed off or a divorce going through.
But I do have a Crackpot Theory™ --- What if AJ has another wife/family elsewhere? As in ... bigamy, thus rendering his marriage to Chivis as invalid? Or perhaps they aren't really married and the priest was a fake?

Captcha verification really has a thing for storefronts. Ya basta.

 

Silvana. doris: Yes, I had thought of the possibility of AJ's being a bigamist too, or of his somehow having married Chivis under such false pretenses that it would be automatic grounds for a church annulment.

SpanProf - it would definitely fit with AJ's lying fraudulent persona, and its a nonviolent resolution. Gah....I've watched too many telenovelas.

Is Telenovela-World officially dead?
I don't know where to post this question, so I put it here. Please tell me if there is an appropriate place for it.

Does anyone know what happened to Telenovela-World? I know it had spam problems & that Ben Spade was trying to get it going. But the last I saw anything posted on Twitter or Facebook at their sites there was in March of 2016. Until very recently the menu page would come up, but if you tried to click on a telenovela forum, it went back to the menu. Some plot summaries were still available on internet. But today nothing worked at all. It looks like Telenovela-World is dead, but neither Ben nor Diane posted anywhere an obituary, and I haven't seen any explanation or update now since last March. Does anybody know anything? thanks a lot, Enoch
