Vino el Amor #61; Wednesday January 25, 2017: Time for Heart Mending and Truths
“Any news, Detective?” Detective replies, “We are fairly certain that your wine was sabotaged and contaminated by succinic acid. It was done by someone who knew a lot about the chemical and what it does.” David asks, “Well, then how do we catch this character?” Detective says, “We are investigating purchases orders of this chemical from various places with the purchaser and where it would have been delivered.” Juan is starting to look worried at this point. Detective goes on to explain that they are also investigating who would have had the means and motive to do this.

Let's start with Brian. "He says he will do everything in his power to get Marta back. (Dream on!)". Agree. That ship has sailed. However, he was not devastated to the point that he failed to take advantage of the potential positive press Ingrid's situation presented. His campaign for sheriff may also be a dead issue, but he is hoping it can be resuscitated. We shall see.
I am also falling under Ramon's spell. His warm and caringg comfort was the highlight of the night. "Ramón sincerely and lovingly tells her that the right opportunities will come along and that one must recognize them when they appear. Then he lovingly takes her hands.." Well stated.
"Mig says, “Why don’t I go talk to him and you can stay here with your mom?” It isn't right or fair, but just about everything Miguel says around Luciana is somewhat annoying. Why on earth would HE offer to speak to David?? Clearly that was up to Luciana. I hope he gets together with Ericka quickly. He isn't fawning and fussing over her and I think they would be loving equals. There is a couple I could root for.
"Lilian says she will take Gut back. Huh?". Yes, I didn't get that either Cynthia. He left without saying anything but I strongly suspect their time together is not yet finished.
I like Leon and Ingrid too.
This likely sounds terrible, but can Coyote take a bite out of Mark, and quickly?? The coyote needs to vanquish the wolf, and quickly.
No kiss between David and Luci. Yet again. Are the writers trying to see how long they can go before the "main" couple actually has another passionate embrace? Talk about tame. PG for certain, isn't it?
Thank you Cynthia.
Diana
I wonder if the writers forgot that she recognized NoJuan and Hurl's voices the other night. That should be crucial in their investigation, as her statement should carry a lot of weight. She is clean, intelligent, well spoken. Not like she is some scabbie crack Hoe.
I must admit, little Luci is Hot, in her hip hugger aerosols, and her very cropped crop top, in an uncut diamond kind of way. And she does wear good shoes.
Lil and Marta? ZZzzz. A couple of mangy old alley cats fighting over a scrap. Who cares? One of you dispense with the other one and get it over with. All that howling and yowling is keeping me awake. No fur flying, just a lot of noise.
W T F with DimBulb and the one who wants to screw...in a dim bulb going through the college yearbook? Dim should have been laid three times right on the patio after all that happiness. Steroids?
Those NoJuan and MarkthePuncher anvils are just trembling with anticipation up there in their holding pattern. Look at the altitude ! Those anvils will surely be at terminal velocity when the re-enter the atmosphere. It will make Wiley Coyote's anvils look like a gentle reprimand.
Right now, Lilian and Marta are just carrying this show! Enjoyed their scenes. They are perfect rivals.
Diana, I was thinking last night that by this point in Camino, even innocent Fer had done the deed with Carlos. Of course in real life, I would never put Luciana with David, age-appropriateness, inappropriate workplace relationship and all. I laughed when she went to him with her visa troubles last night and he took the first opportunity to pull her in close for a kiss that made no sense given the conversation and how upset she was.
All that said, I hope David can retrieve the visa and be there for Marta, his loyal employee who actually does do work as opposed to most of them.
Ramon is nice, and I'm glad he was there for Marta as a friend. But there's no heat, there, for her.
I am so done with grungy Mark and the ridiculous triangle with Susan and Tano. Poor Susan, she did not deserve to be beaten up, but I'm honestly bored with Susan and her men.
“And here I am crying because my boyfriend turned out to be bad.”
So, Marta cheated on Marcos to be with Fernando and he promised to divorce Lilian to be with Marta. Kinda see why Lilian would be a little peeved even with his deathbed apology. These old girls have been fighting over the same men for 20 years.
Ramón should steer clear of Marta, she's no princess.
Right out of law school I worked in the DA's office of a major city and prosecuting domestic violence against women both just and heartbreaking, knowing even a win often wasn't the end.
According to Cesar the other day, David may have feels for both Luciana and Graciela and I thought, when he wanted to speak to Luciana, he was gonna make a move. He did and Luciana rejected him again so I don't blame him for being sweet to his back up, Graciela.
I worry, if Brian parades Ingrid in front of the press, it puts her in even more danger.
We are to believe that little pipsqueak Leon knocked Rocky down in the kitchen with a lucky punch and nobody is crying about that.
The only things which are still left which do not beg sanity are the Immigrants, Mark, NoJuan and Hurla, with a side dish of Ingrid. Sonia and Lion Cub were fun, but Sonia's contract must have ended an episode or two ago, as abruptly as that interesting little side road dead ended.
If Brian parades Ingrid in front of the press, hopefully it will land the people who would harm her in jail before she can be in danger. Like Susan afraid that Mark would spend years in jail and still come back to get her. Lord help me.
BTW: David needs to tag one of them before he explodes. Just sayin....
I am old school and to be honest, need to have someone to root for. I watch TN's primarily to watch love unfold, be thwarted and then finally bloom. It's pretty sad that right now, I am dividing my time between Miguel and Erika's table and Leon and Ingrid. Now the fact neither of these couples have engaged in any romantic behavior (aside from that tantalizing kiss from Erika), is fairly sad. David and Luci's "non-romance" now leaves me cold (it was tepid at best).
tofie, God bless you for all the wonderful work you have done. You must be quite a woman to have endured all that and kept going. Thank heavens women like you exist.
I am sure once Perla gets a full on look at Ingrid, she will immediately recognize her as the missing girl. She will tell Juan who will undoubtedly go to hot headed psycho Mark. This does not bode well at all.
Diana
We still don't have perfect clarity on the Marta/Fernando relationship, but this latest one is pointing to the possibility that one of Marta's kids wasn't planted by Marcos. The photo I remember of Fernando showed he was a similar physical type to Marcos, so it could be either of Marta's children, depending on the timing. I've always thought that Leon doesn't look like he came from that family, but writers have done stranger things than that in recent years.
It occurred to me this morning that Brian's ultimate redemption might end up being a heroic death while saving someone else's life, but it's too early to be calling that.
If Ingrid is exposed in the media someone would get highly suspicious if anything were to happen to her.
David did not leave Brian's office with Luciana's visa, so that means that Brian will have to face somebody from that estate soon enough.
Tonight there will be bullet points. Sonia has stepped down as a recapper due to academic obligations. Thursdays are open for a replacement.
Nice recap, Cynthia. But not a word about Lilian's Fred Flintstone skirt, though? As much as Azela Robinson and Cynthia Klitbo were rocking Lilian vs. Marta Round XLII, I was utterly distracted by that fashion disaster she was wearing.
Susan's story annoyed me because it was all tell versus show. (Budget constraints, perhaps, since we have yet to see Susan's house?) We couldn't see her trying to move out, or even her getting the call from Cesar about the emergency he had to deal with--let alone Mark intercepting her. Boo, show.
As for Marta officially having cheated on Marcos: my money's on Luciana being the product of that. UA's right in that Leon's the one who doesn't look like the rest of los Munoz, but it just feels weird that they'd go there with him. He's got more going on (Ingrid, and by extension being El Coyote/Juan/Mark-adjacent; Sonia) and if memory serves it's a far more ironclad cliché for a novela heroine to go through a period where she hates her mother or father for a big past misdeed. (And when it comes out, it'll piss Lilian off more if it's Luciana.)
It is definitely a more established cliche for a heroine to discover hidden parentage and it certainly would bother Lillian more if Luciana were Fernando's child. I'm actually wondering whether Lillian was able to have any more after Graciela and -- horror of horrors -- whether there was an issue over this because Fernando wanted a son.
It's also more commonplace for mothers and daughters to have relationship difficulties than for fathers and sons. We've seen that in many past series both with good and evil characters.
Bill C: Luciana noticed the bruise on Susan's face wasn't that surprising since OJ Mark has been beating on Susan.
Kirby: Irina Baeva's English sounded pretty darn good.
Diana: I've been saying that Ingrid will be in danger since someone (likely Perla) was watching Ingrid, Leon & Miguel, which is a bad sign.
You might as well add Ingrid to the Body Count.
Well, there are guys like JUan and Mark who use and abuse and good guys like Miguel and Ramon who try to pick up the pieces and help people to deal and heal. I read somewhere that when girls are dating, they should notice how a guy treats his mother because that is probably the way he will treat a wife.
I think that MIguel's feelings for Luci are changing slowly. Erika is much more demonstrative towards him , and he must be realizing how differently she treats him than Luci.
Wow, Gut must have mad skills if Lilian wants him back. She is having a best day ever gloating over his split from Marta.
Diana, I agree that this is an odd telenovela . Where is the romance between the main couple?
Lilian, Lilian. "She will help him again if he behaves." How can she help him? More phone calls? "Hi, friend I called last week. Remember how I said you should support this guy's campaign, and then I said he was a liar and I was very disappointed? Well now we like him again. Tell your friends, 'kay?" When she told Brian she'd take him back, he looked like he would throw up. I think he's done with her.
Ramon is awesome, but I don't know if Marta deserves him. And Sonia's too wacky for him. We need to find a nice lady for him.
When Lilian said that her husband had apologized on his deathbed for sleeping with Marta, I thought I saw a funny look on Marta's face. Like she knew it was a lie. One way it could have been a lie is if she never actually slept with Lil's husband. Though I am actually leaning more towards him being Luci's father.
I think Brian's plan to use Ingrid to enhance his public image will put a bullseye on her chest.
Ramon always looks sad. That can be a deal killer no matter how sweet a guy is. Smile, Ramon. He sure seems to be smitten with Marta as was But and perhaps Fernando!
I have tutored many of my neighbors kids, but thankfully they were all smarties and needed help in Chemistry or Calculus or Geometry and I was never exposed first hand to what I am chuckling about. But I'm not an educator.
It is also now no longer emphasized in the public schools and very few people really understand its importance. I have one friend who doesn't think it's necessary because of Google Translate and I've met others who think that the entire planet will be speaking English within whatever time elapses between that conversation and any inclination they might have to travel.
They have no idea what they're missing out on.
When I was in third grade I had a copy of the Declaration printed on an inexpensive parchment and thought it was incredibly beautiful. It was even said at the time that Jefferson's penmanship was the primary reason he was assigned to write it. Not sure I quite believe that because he was an eloquent man. He was also ambassador to France for a while.
That there are actors who can act in multiple languages should be a lesson about what learning foreign languages can do for a person. Yet people like me are eyed askance when we can read menus without subtitles.
I remember Marta and Ramon's first (and only) date where he took her to town shopping and she ditched him (hiding behind a tree or something) and she wound up going home with Gut. Put me at the Ramon-steer-clear-of-Marta table.
I thought Gut was on his way to redemption. But if he recklessly uses Ingrid, I'm done with him.
Will somebody please just go and pick up Luciana's work visa? Why didn't David get it while he was there bashing Gut to his face (and ignoring the fact that he the vineyard owner didn't have his long-time employee's papers straight)?
Your comments are quick and very funny and you obviously have a great grasp on what is going on.
I really hope you do...
Diana
As to cursive writing, I believe that our small rural school still teaching it. I always wondered how you could sign a document if you did not know how to write in cursive.
That is great that you tutor the neighborhood kids in math and science. American kids seem to be falling behind in these subjects. I had algebra , trig, geometry ,physics, and chemistry in high school and algebra, chem, physics, and biology in college, but they were never my favorite subjects. I preferred ENglish, literature, history, art, music. However, my older daughter always loved math and was au double major in college.. math and computer science . Most of the students in her computer science classes were male. She graduated as valedictorian and had lots of job offers. I was looking at a first grade math textbook recent!y, and math is being taught very differently in the last few years. Other countries seem to teach algebra and geometry at much younger ages , and it seems that we are trying that approach now.
All that smacky. Or snarky, whatever.
I think it's great that Ramon wants to
Be there for marta,but he's gonna get hurt cuz she might wind up forgiving guT. But Cynthia you're fallin in love with him So he'll be Ok :).
Gut was really remorseful. I do hope he Is serious about helpin the imagrants, And not just using that to be Sheriff, And getting Marta back. Cuz I really want him to become the sberiff without lil's help.
I would really like to hear more about
Fernando. With marta They should do some flashbacks so we can see how hot
He may have been to have these two old divas fightin over him. I wish they'll
Give Marta a wardrobe change.
I like that Lucy is so stronge she could Probably take mark down. I'm sure Somebody will. Hot head tano will
Probably be the candidate. The boy just jumps without thinking. What does
SusyQ see in him, hes a child. She just wanted a snack like miss wendy said. But there comes a time when you
Need a full course meal(cesar),and lil baby boy Ain't it. But to each his or
Her own.
I'm glad Lucy figured out she should not have left her work visa in gut's office. And I didn't see David leave with it after he withdrew his campaign
Support, Did yall?
Lillian will get hers. People like her
Always do. All this will come back &
Bit her butt off.
Thanks Cynthia.
So since Luci's WORK Visa has been approved, is she planning on starting actually W O R K I N G now? Will she still get deported if she continues to lollygag and talk about boys? Even though she threw it on the floor and stomped, it is still valid, right? If they can look up my license plate and know whether I need corrective lenses to drive, cant they take a hair sample and know whether she has a Visa or not? Or Mastercard.
And when Lillian was talking to Brian Gut, I was hoping he could hock up a big green one and spit it right in her face.
If I woke up and realized I had slept with her, I would go home and cut something off.
So Mr. Robles (Why do I always want to call him Marbles) is withdrawing his campaign funding? Hold on, He has made a deal with the devil because he was sooooo broke, right? So where is all that money coming from? If he pitched him a couple hundreds that is one thing, but he made it sound like he was taking back the company car.
AAAAarrrrggghhh.
I still can’t believe that Marta would have cheated on Marcos. I just have the impression she was quite in love with Marcos. Or at least it appeared that way at the beginning of the series.
Well I am sure that Luciana will get hold of her work visa somehow. Maybe Gut will put it in the mail.
Will read the comments after I leave these thoughts.
As for Gut--I hope he never reconciles with Marta--he deserves the hurt just as much for keeping two women on his leash. It was long after Lilian could no longer really blackmail him that he was still carrying on with Marta, to Lilian's disgust. She's the one that left him high and dry. Maybe she had second thoughts about "leaving" him realizing she left the door wide open for Marta.
Ruining his election campaign was her vengeance "served on a cold plate."
I don't think Gut is interested in Lilian AT ALL any more. I think Lilian was just boasting that he came to see HER after Marta refused to forgive him. For that matter, I don't think Lilian would be interested in him again either. He'll be a nobody lieutenant in a sergeant's uniform. I think she's decided money, travel, security and comfort are more important than sex. So, here comes Adolfo to fit the bill. Poor sod.
As to David--does anyone on the Patio blame him? He's been after Luciana for weeks (or is it months). Each time they get close enough to kiss, she backs away, still, telling him their love is impossible. He must be frustrated, poor sod. I wouldn't mind seeing him with Soooosan. Now there he could be quite a hero, protecting her from Mark and holding Cesar and Tano at bay. I'm sure she would appreciate his attention a lot more than Luci is. Luci needs to go away again, realize how much she cares for him and be the one who, on returning, makes the first move. I dread Luci's reaction when she sees David and Gracie spending any time canoodling over photos in an album. David was actually laughing and having a good time. Something he hasn't done with Luci, regardless of how many times he says she opened his eyes to life and love again.
This thing is just dragging on and on (the Luci-David thing). I'm willing to bet a virtual bottle of tequila chased by a bottle of Reserva, that it will still be at least 10 episodes before we get a kiss.
Ingrid is looking pretty good right now.
Haha, Cynthia--I read your last line and mis-read it as, "Maybe God will put it in the mail."
Lillian is going for the money and The Good Life, but Adolfo also deserves better.
A woman with no more looks than her and a job as a housekeeper or whatever she is, Nanny, BillyGoat, something, would JUMP at a nice healthy available man like Ramon.
Her affection for Leon and especially Luci seems strained too. I have thought for a while that she has more secrets than the CIA. Frump does not really warm me up to a girl, but I think there is something else too.
And while I am blabbering on to an invisible audience, I would love to see wormy little MarkThePuncher swing on Miguel. Ole Miguel would knock him into a low earth orbit. He handled a rabid little Leon like a declawed housecat,
Maybe not a male book, but a female one, I am rarely wrong. :-)
