the Doc makes a beeline home to get his family, but Calvo is on the way, Yesica learns he is not at the hospital and calls Calvo to speed things up.

Cata offers to buy Jota's car (with money Hernan saved) while Vanessa is waiting for her inheritance from her boss.

the Doc gets his family and stuff in the car, finally, and pulls out one way when seconds later Calvo and his guys pull in from another way, and start searching the house.

Jota doesn't want to sell his car, it's dear to him, how about a lease, ok, but he needs it tomorrow night when they go to dig up Diabla's grave, que? and Jota relays what Titi told them about maybe seeing Yesica alive, count on us Cata says

Calvo finds the Doc's house empty and Yesica panics, if he tells the DEA she is alive they will be after her, they leave in the Capitan's car and debate where to go, Yesica decides on the Capitan's house, (how many ways can she find to rub this guy the wrong way)

Gato and Titi arrive at the ranch and while Gato gets a present for him, Titi reminisces about being with Cata the elder, Gato brings him a small brief case but full of money and a nice pistol, Titi is surprised and officially back in business.

Paola, Martina's mom (and the same actress from the original story) arrives with presents for Martina and Paola's mom.

Gato talks business, he has 2 routes, one to Europe and one to Mexico, he wants one to the U.S., merc in New York will bring 10 times the price.

Yesica, Daniela, and the Capitan arrive at his house, he wants a minute with his wife first, she flips, this is a respectable house, no criminals here, as Yesica walks in, what did you say?

Martina tries on the presents her mom brought her, tells her she is in love, Paola wants to know who, so Martina finally spills, Titi, and what is that look Paola gets, it's anything but good...

 

Silvana – very briefly

Poncho doesn’t have an arm brace! He’s trying to convert people at the Terminal

AJD shows up at the bakery and the unbearable Margarita tells him Angie stole her boyfriend and is just like her mother.

Alejandra the Leech shows up at the Terminal interrupting Vicente studying behind his counter. At this rate he’ll be lucky to get a C in any of his classes. He’s cozying up to her a bit when he sees Chivis and jumps away like he’s been scalded. Later he tells Chivis he thinks she’ll be very unhappy married to someone she doesn’t love.

Waaaay too much Trini this episode. She comes to the priest to confess she liked to AJ by telling AJD that Chivis didn’t have a relationship with Manuel.

Chivis and Manuel have a delightful and all too short scene in the office. He tells her about his meeting with AJD. He says they may need to spend less time together to appease him in the short term. She agrees about no balcony scenes but she’s not giving up her time with him at work.

Andrés is disappointed. Majo can’t even muster up any words for her own vows. He does the leave his cell trick and she sees a message from Lucha. Gets huffy and thinks Lucha’s icon is Santa Clause when it’s really Hypocrites.

Don Benito is worried about Trini leaving after AJD had told him he’s taking his family back to a mansion. He’s about to say something serious to Trini when Sara shows up

Rafa the Rat shows up at Casa Chivis and Angie outs him as having come on to her mother at work, lending her money and expecting favors. AJD throws him out.

Stella comes to annoy Chivis about AJD being back. She grins with that wad of gum and says Chivis and AJD should see the same shrink she and Manuel are seeing.

Poncho asks Génesis to be his novia. She agrees but then says they’ll have to wait until marriage.

In the kitchen Trini’s apple disappears and then a big chunk of meat. Trini again mentions Teodoro.

MJ comes to insult Lucha about the text she sent.

AJD shows up at the Terminal and Stella is overjoyed to see him. God only knows what she’ll say to him tomorrow night.

 

Silvana

Confessed that she LIED to AJD. God I miss that Preview function!

Oh, and Sara and Trini see a rat. So maybe the disappearing food is not supernatural.
 

SILVANA

Yes, I think the disappearing food is either caused by a rat, or someone living in the cupboard under the stairs!
 

SILVANA:

Thanks, Novelera!

If the rat is the one stealing the food, then they all should be worried. Not only is it very strong and fast, it also has a taste for raw flesh. The writers are REALLY scraping the bottom of the barrel with this rat/disappearing food story to S-T-R-E-T-C-H this tn out. This thing could have been wrapped up long ago.
 

SILVANA

Agreed. I feel like I'm watching a Wholllle lot o'nothing.
I've genuinely lost count of whether Andres and MaJo are together & getting married or are mad at each other.
 

Silvana. Excellent succinct recap, novelera. The episodes lately probably don't deserve more than that. Though this time it does move a bit forward with AJD's learning about Rafa the Rat's (love your characterization!) harassment of Chivis. I loved it when Angie chewed Rafa out. I also loved "Alejandra the Leach." I agree that Chivis and Manuel's office scene was delightful MJ's mistake about Hippocrates should be enough to disqualify her from marrying a doctor! :) I agree with Vivi that that raw meat slab is awfully big for even a good-sized rat to carry off, and the whole incident is more an irritating filler than anything.
 

novelera--Thanks for hanging in there for us, the few, the brave, the bored.

I'm glad you remembered the Rat. That Telemundo Rat doesn't look hungry or starved. He does have a strange appetite, starting with the chocolate cake. Maybe he will end up being more entertaining than Trini.

Vivi--I think you are right. This could have been a great story, tightly told, maybe fewer kids on each side and a Grandmother who is content to sit and play her video game and knit and keep her mouth shut.

I feel we've been cheated out of a lot of sweet scenes with Chivis and Manuel that could have been conjured up in lieu of the Three Stooges Show. At least they've been on the same side for most of the run. The answer? They talk to each other. So, when Stella was going on and on about her and Manuel seeing the shrink together (making it sound like couples counseling) and how much good it has done for their relationship, Chivis already knew she was blowing up the meeting way out of proportion. What I don't understand is why the "knock-knock, who's there" and the Romeo and Juliet balcony scenes couldn't be replaced by plain old texting and phoning. Their kids do it, so could they.

Maja proved last night she doesn't love Andres enough to marry him, but still won't admit it to herself. (Yawn)
 

Oh, and Poncho and Genesis? Who cares.
 

Silvana

I’m in agreement with everyone that this novela is past its sell-by date.

I am, however, somewhat surprised that I am the only one who has mentioned something supernatural in Trini’s midnight excursion to grab the last piece of cake. I didn’t even have a glass of wine Wednesday night, so I’m pretty sure that wasn’t it. Anyway, Trini came into the kitchen, took the cake from the fridge and heard something. She picked up a knife, suspecting an intruder. But then she either saw or somehow knew that the intruder was an unseen individual she called Teodoro. This Teodoro spoke to her and they talked about his having killed his wife (or that’s how I remember it).

Then last night she turned her back on an apple to rag on poor Sara about not cooking the whole piece of meat but, rather, to cut it up (senseless, of course, but everything she does falls into this category). Then the apple disappeared. She accused Sara of trying to gaslight her. While this argument was taking place the whole large chunk of beef vanished. Now, I’m with Vivi; that’s some amazing rat to have jumped on that counter and made off with the whole huge piece of meat.

I can’t say I know why the writers are doing this. But I am mildly intrigued about why Trini, a self-proclaimed Christian woman, would have known about a murder and almost seemed to have been a friend of the murderer.

 

SILVANA:

Novelera- Yeah, the Teodoro thing is weird. Trini actually spoke out of the side of her mouth in a deep voice, like she was possessed by this Teodoro person/spirit. But honestly, more than intriguing me, the whole thing is making me roll my eyes.
 

Silvana. I kind of wondered whether Teodoro was the "ghost" of her late husband, some kind of wife killer or not. Ayway, I'm with Vivi on the eye roll. :)
 

Silvana--
I assumed she was talking to her dead husband, but has she ever mentioned him before--or spoken to him as being around? Roll of the eyes, indeed. Margaret Thatcher talked to her dead husband (in the movie), but she was sliding into dementia.
 

Silvana

Thanks novelera! I just watched this episode. I'm a little confused about the Teodoro thing too, but I just thought Trini was pretending to be a man to scare away an intruder in Wednesday's episode. I assumed she was making all that stuff up. No idea why she said Teodoro in Thursday's episode. Maybe just a callback to the earlier scenes.

Since Silvana sin Lana is pretty much a carbon copy of the original, at least we have the Chilean writers to blame for the storylines and slow pace. Telemundo could have cut some stuff out though. I don't know why both Telemundo and Univision tend to do 120 episodes for their productions. I would be fine with 60 or 80.
 

Silvana
J--Your interpretation of the way Trini behaved with the "intruder" makes all the sense in the world. Ditto scratching my head over Teodoro on Thursday's episode.
 

Silvana: J: Ditto to what Anita said.

However, the guns demonstration, ‘time-to-set-it-off-up-in-here’ help cut through the ‘BS’ and helped really put it [death is near/ time-to-do –or- die ‘in perspective! This is where the rubber hits the road, ‘put-up or shut-up’!!
Anibal is a dead man walking, pacing, cussing, drinking, sweating mashing up the joint trying to work himself up into a killer mood!!

He played his hand and she was not happy, the queen checks king?, but he has the upper hand, because he put her in check !Funny ,how SIDA is still taboo!

The doctor is a sadist and I enjoyed her pain as well ,he got a bit of his own back, while he was alive to enjoy it! Actually I doubt the captain will kill him?

The kids head to Pipe’s mom house. They go past Hernan’s old job, the jefe/Boss ate sh*t, a mile long, cause he commandeered Dario’s house!! The mother’s sub-subprime loan for his phony lawyer! Classic Esq.Octavio-like M.O., a set-up and a rip off!!

Lucia took her baby and left, Daniel has to buck up for both of them, I think she has the right planm cause who know what will happen,,,

Ok!! I am having weird feeling this show may be a series, how will we see diabla suffer double strand AIDS!!

Titi ‘hip’ them to Marcial situation as well as gave them a revelation the need to exhume it over?? Quess not!! And who else dresses in BODY-CON outfits…




 

Silvana

Thanks, guys, for the "Teodoro" conversation. And, Vivi, I had not noticed that Trini was speaking out of the side of her mouth to produce that voice. I guess I just bought the ghost hook, line, and sinker. And, J, good point about her making up a male voice to scare the intruder.

But none of this explains the disappearing food.
 

Silvana

Thanks very much, novelera, for your skillfully streamlined recap. I've sure come late to the party today, but I'm not really sorry. The good part (for me) about coming late is that there are so many delectable morsels to savor. I agree with all the criticism of Telemundo's dragging this novela on and on. Novelera, I loved your saying that the novela is "past its sell-date."

I don't have much to add. When I saw Wednesday's episode, I suspected that perhaps Trini was becoming senile. That theory didn't seem to hold up so well last night. I have no idea who Teodoro is/was/will be.

For me, the high point of last night's episode was Angie's outing of Rafael the Rat. The low point...almost everything else. All the scenes involving Ale the Leach, any of the Three Stooges, Trini, Majo....

And to top things off, the captions have been missing for at least two days from the Telemundo web site, at least in the Washington DC area. Fortunately, the captions seem to be OK on the TV broadcast.
 

Sin Senos (friday) 82

(some of the days or capitulo numbers this past week are wrong so you might want to backtrack from this one, sorry about that)

Paola tells Martina to get far away from Titi, Martina says she loves him, Paola explains, he destroys everything he touches, Martina wants to know how many times her mother slept with him, while Titi and Gato are partying with some new girls at his place.

Capitan's wife calls Yesica a delinquent hag, Yesica lets it slide for now.

Alberio and Hilda tell Belen about the funeral.

Vanessa asks why none of the boys at the funeral cried, Vale tries to explain that she didn't believe in men, Jota asks if something might have happened in her past, Cata gets them to change the subject.

Alberio calls Cata to warn her about coming to the finca late, Cata tells him they rented Jota's jeep, Alberio flips, where did she get the money?

Yesica tells the Capitan she wants to see Calvo, the Capitan worries about his children.

Martina and Paola fight, Martina wants to know why she left, Vale, Adriana, and Cata had moms, blames her for everything.

Cata and Hernan arrive at the finca, Cata wants to sleep with him, Alberio says no but walks away, Hilda lets them, they are so much in love and talk of many things between kisses, but I think the clothes stay on, they both want their first time to be magical.

Martina and Paola arrive at Gatos, Titi is drunk and surrounded by women, Martina throws them out and drags him home, Paola follows, and at the house they wait for Titi to fall asleep and take the brief case, wow, it's full of money, but Paola puts it back, in this business you have to be honest, they are killers.

Alberio can't sleep, Hilda assures him nothing will happen with Cata and Hernan, but what if it does, she says they love each other, but they're not married Alberio adds, and neither are we Hilda reminds him after 20 years together, and after some more talking, Albeiro gets down on one Knee and asks Hilda to marry him, she has dreamed of this moment, Si!

Yesica and Daniela have breakfast with the Capitan, where is your wife, she took the kids to school, and as Yesica keeps taunting him he says his wife is a strong person and won't do anything that she doesn't want to, different than you Yesica adds.

Capitan's wife returns and tells him she has no more respect for him and gets back in her car and leaves.

Anibal is awakened by Celia who has brought him breakfast, she has told all he is in Bogota, he is grateful for all that she has done for him.

Yesica sits down with Calvo and the Capitan and lists all of the things that they have failed to do, the Capitan reminds her it's only a matter of time before it is known that she is alive because the Doc and her husband both escaped.

Alberio wakes Cata and Hernan with a loud knock, he wants to talk to Hernan, man to man, they meet by the ponds, Alberio speaks plainly, that if anything happened between Cata and Hernan, he will kill him, and pulls his gun, pointing it at Hernan's forehead.

 

Silvana sin Lana – Friday, November 18 – Capítulo 83

This will be brief. This episode has more filler than a Kardashian.

Stella is very friendly with AJ, telling him that she was Manuel’s girlfriend until Chivis showed up. Stella thinks they should get together and talk at a different place than the terminal so she can spill alllllll the beans.

Chivis gets AJ to talk privately in the office. He asks why she didn’t tell him about Rafael being a Creepy McCreeperson. He fired Rafael and now he doesn’t have a lawyer and he’s under “nocturnal house arrest” so he HAS TO sleep at her house every night.

Majo continues yelling at Lucha for texting Andrés. Lucha stands her ground and gets a few good digs in. Majo ends up speechless and stomps off angrily.

The cult leader does not seem pleased that Poncho supposedly loves his daughter. He wants to get to know his family. Poncho invites him to dinner that night.

Angie tells Jorge she’s organizing a bachelorette party for Majo as a surprise. Jorge brings up hiring a stripper and invites himself to the party. Angie doesn’t want anyone to come in the room and see them kissing. Jorge asks if she would marry him. She nods yes.

Pedrito is concerned that Lupita hasn’t introduced him to her father yet and that AJ won’t like him or let them be together. Lupita suggests that Pedrito and AJ have dinner and talk before Majo’s wedding – but it’s a little complicated since her parents are getting divorced. Pedrito offers to play videogames with AJ to cheer him up.

There were far too many scenes with Trini and Sara being held hostage on the kitchen table by Miami’s version of Pizza Rat. Majo comes home but runs out immediately. Don Benito also ends up scared on the table. Juanito brings over a baseball bat but can’t find any rats in the house. Lupita and Angie come home together and jump on the couch. They all yell for Pedrito and he saves the day by nearly destroying the kitchen and killing the cute innocent rat.

Manuel asks Poncho why he’s being even weirder than usual. Manuel wants to make sure he focuses on work. Poncho tells him about the cult stuff and Genesis. He’s finally forgetting Stella.

The dog whisperer is on to Stella. He asks why she’s so jealous of Poncho being with Genesis. Could it be that she’s starting to feel something for Poncho? Stella denies, denies, denies and leaves in a huff.

Manuel doesn’t believe that “nocturnal house arrest” is a real thing and correctly assumes that AJ made it up as an excuse to stay at Chivis’ house longer. Chivis doesn’t think so. In any case, AJ no longer has a lawyer which means it may be months before they can change anything. Manuel wonders if they shouldn’t just tell him about them being together. That way AJ wouldn’t be able to keep manipulating her. She refuses. Manuel tries to convince her to break out of the old habits of letting AJ run everything. In the end, he respects her decision to not tell him, but he’s going to fight for his rights. He kisses her passionately.

Manuel wishes the bandido (crook) had seen them kissing. He wants to take a “selfix” and gets his phone out. Chivis says no, mi amor (my love) and Manuel pretends to start fainting like Trini when he realizes what she said. These two are beyond cute in this scene.

Lucha tells Andrés about Majo coming to her house and being a pain. Andrés thinks he should tell Majo about kissing Lucha. Lucha doesn’t think it’s necessary since what Majo did to him was way worse. Andrés wants to start the marriage con un borrón y cuenta nueva (with a clean slate).

Majo tries on wedding dresses. The guy helping her asks if she put on weight and gives her another dress to try on instead. [Is this a hint that she might be pregnant?] She receives a text from Vicente. No te has arrepentido (You haven’t changed your mind)? Majo holds the phone close to her and looks incredibly sad.
 

SILVANA

novelera - Thank you for the recap! I'm out of town and watched this right before I left home.

The rat thing is so nonsensical that I wonder if Mrs Gonzalez's sixth grade class is writing these episodes.
Thank heavens for FFWD>>> buttons and telenovela beanies.

J - Thank you for your recap of Friday's episode! The hint of Majo maybe being pregnant might be a red herring. She had not had the classic telenovela symptoms of nausea and dizziness.
 

SILVANA:

Thanks so much, J! No need to put in more effort-- the writers certainly aren't.

I really wish Chivis weren't being so stupid about AJ. She should be speaking to the police/prosecutor herself and finding out exactly what AJ's legal situation is. Why have the writers made her so passive about this and her marriage situation?
 

Silvana

Great job, J. Many thanks. I'm sure you put more effort into this than the writers did. Loved your "This episode has more filler than a Kardashian." That was especially true of the interminable nonsense with the rat.

It occurred to me as well that Majo's weight gain might signal a pregnancy. But not only hasn't she had the Traditional Telenovela Symptoms, I would think she'd have noticed if, say, her breasts were becoming larger, or if some of her other clothes were becoming tighter. Then again, this is a telenovela, so all bets are off. I actually hope she's not pregnant. The last thing Vicente needs at this point are more demands on his time and his earning power. It also seems clear that the novela doesn't need a pregnancy to break up Majo and Andrés: both of them seemed last night to be having second (or hundred and second) thoughts.
 

Silvana

Vivi, I totally agree with your point about Chivis' passivity re AJ's legal situation and what rights she has and doesn't have in a marriage she is trying to end. It's too bad that we can't import Pablo Contreras from Eva la trailera to come to Chivis' aid as he did for so many women in that novela.
 

Silvana

Thanks for the witty recap, J. Loved “more filler than a Kardashian”. And, why write more when you’d be describing crap!

To quote Majo: “Oh, my God”. I simply could not believe the duration and the complete stupidity of the rat scene.

I also enjoyed the scene with Lucha and Majo. Majo behaves like a spoiled child almost constantly. Andrés forgave her infidelity and she has the guts to chew out Lucha for what’s been quite innocent between Lucha and Andrés. Lucha was brilliant in calling her out.

I hope the wedding dress fitting is a red herring as well. This is NOT the way for Majo and Andrés to wake up to the big mistake they are making. Vicente would never have the comfort of knowing that she chose him.

I think Dom should be nominated for sainthood. I can’t even imagine living with the chipmunk. That motor mouth drives me insane. And I suppose if I were a native speaker I’d understand her better. As it is, I have to back up and listen to the insanity a second time in case she actually makes a point.

I don’t see how they are going to reform Stella. She’s massively selfish as well as living in her own reality. When she didn’t like the hour he came home, she said it was her house and she could decide arrival times! But I liked when he said that he pays rent and could come and go as he pleased.

I also wish Chivis would listen to Manuel. He’s absolutely right that the correct thing to do is to tell AJ she’s getting a divorce and is now in love with and planning a life with Manuel. It’s not like he doesn’t deserve it.




 

J--Excellent retelling of a ... well, less than a fully filled Kardashian. Thank you.

Thank goodness the rat episode is over. Pedrito was so proud of his prowess. I was beginning to think we would all get to see the dead rat. Poor little thing, it really wasn't doing anything and a rat that size wouldn't be walking around a nicely kept house like that. Mice under the sink? Maybe, yes (that's because I ended up catching 3 mice that were co-habitating under my kitchen sink for a few days--years ago).

novelera--I ditto everything you said about all the story lines. Pathetic. I wonder if Majo's spreading avoirdupois is just Chivis' and now AJD's recent skills in cooking. She also gets no exercise except running her mouth at Lucha and Andres. I hope so at any rate. I find it so hard to like her consistently. I KNOW Vicente could do better than Majo. What on earth does she bring to a relationship with him? She still desperately wants her old life back. She's not interested in working. I don't see her selling clothes out of the back of her car anymore. She's deliriously happy with the fact that AJD, presumably is footing the bill for her expensive wedding gown and other accoutrements of the wedding.

The only way out of the Vicente-Majo-Andres-Lucha dilemma is for Andres to finally admit to himself that he's much better suited with Lucha and their goals in life than Majo--hang the fact that they've been dating for three years.
 

SILVANA -

"I KNOW Vicente could do better than Majo. What on earth does she bring to a relationship with him?"
Likewise, I've been wondering just what Andres sees in her and what he thinks Majo brings to their relationship.

 

SILVANA

The scenes with the rat were ridiculous, and like something from a children's tv show. This whole telenovela is very G-rated, isn't it?
Did anyone catch what Angie said to Jorge re strippers and dead flies??
 

#82 SIN SUE~NOS
OUT OF HOSPITAL….
Half dead and on the run, in ugly clothes, but Yessia is still RUNING AGENDA!
The captain’s wife impressed diabla, for all the wrong reasons, cojones, defiance, and and strength of character! All the stuff captain aint got!!

The devil's sobrina, has broken up the man' marriage, his wife cussed him out and rolled out!1

Titi and gato are living it up with putalindas,

Martina and her mother had deep gut/ hard line discussion about the way she was abandoned and turned out. This family was devoured by the game! Generational sex workers?
She was honest she had feeling for him, Damn dude what do you be doing to those women! Titi was handling business and round. I was just relieved they is no blood relation here!

The move back to the RED house was a cool move, get your man and stake your claim, But mama Paula emoted the wisest words that have ever been spoken, keep your hand off the man's money, for Christ sakes! the dude sleep with a pistol! this ain't the time for dope fiend move!!

Adrianna mom spoke and asked the kids about sweethearts, and was sortof tolded about Vanessa gender orientation and however, not much was said,about her devotion to Imelda and her desire to be her girl/lover!

The kids rolled back to the farm, and the discussion about who going to sleep where was great, Dad was not having it.

When you can show the ring, then you’ll can shack up like mom and dad? Either way, why- for- the- love- of- god’, did they think dad, was going to ‘OK’ them sleeping on the same bed?

That smart ass, crack about ‘getting- it- on’, while on the bike didn’t help? Dad was about to ‘clock him’ [hold me back] for ‘jumping bad’ with that snide-ass remark.

Mom understood and helped calm the waters. Dario is my man, and Cata whispering about, having his baby is very sweet talk. Anybody got birth control? Hell no!! Not a condom anywhere near that joint. Then the sunshine and happiness until dad laid down the law, and threaten his life! God bless his dad heart!

 

Silvana

Jude, Angie was talking about how everyone hires strippers for bachelorette parties nowadays and there are some women who act like "mosquitas muertas" about it. The expression hacerse la mosquita muerta refers to someone who acts innocent and meek but who actually takes advantage of the situation/reveals their true colors in the end. It can sometimes have a more pejorative meaning, more like hypocrite or backstabber, but it doesn't necessarily have to be so negative.
 

Silvana
I know the three boys are named after popular Spanish singers, like Vicente is probably named after Vicente Fernandez and Pedro after Pedro Fernandez, but who is the singer Jorge is named after? My apologies if this has been brought up before.

@Vivi in DC

Thank you, Vivi. Pedro Fernandez was the only Pedro I could think of. I didn't know Lucha was named after a singer as well.

 

Silvana. Excellent recap, J! We were out Friday evening so I didn't see this episode until last night. You are so right on about the filler! I loved your "Creepy McCreeperson! I agree that there were too many Trini, Sara and Rat scenes. Otoh, way to go Pedrito! Of course, that was all very middle-schoolish, though I think if it were a US middle school program, there would not be an animal death. Once again, Andres is such a masochistic idiot! Confess that he once kissed another woman indeed! I'm fairly sure that the dress not fitting is a pregnancy hint, but for all the reasons Juanita and others mentioned, I hope the writers are just teasing us.

I'm back home and just finished watching a/k/a FFWD>>> thru Friday's episode. Ugh.... too much with the rat thing,and I'm glad that's over. My mother always told us to never corner a rat because it would come right at you, if cornered. Chasing it with a bat just seemed really stoopid.

The "nocturnal house arrest" thing was invented by Rafael, right? And Chivis is falling for it. Gah.

Chivis is not the brightest lightbulb on the string, is she? She has not consulted a divorce lawyer yet, to the best of our knowledge, so why does she keep insisting she is divorcing AJD? IF she had a divorce lawyer, he could tell her the nocturnal house arrest is bogus. He might even tell her to kick AJD out of her house. Oh, but that would make too much sense.

Seems that my telenovela beanie hat has gone missing .....
 

SILVANA:

Doris- Mine has gone missing too. Ditto everything you said about Chivis. The writers are really making her dumb when it comes to AJ and her situation with him.
 

Silvana. Excellent observations about Chivis, AJD and divorce, doris! Absolutely! If she's going to divorce AJ, get on with it! It's possible that the writers may be holding out for some kind of sudden revelation that will make an annulment possible.
