Vino el Amor #67; Thursday February 2, 2017: No sense or sensibilities, or "How to fight over the same woman"
Labels: vino
So sad that Marta and Gut. are not together-they made a nice looking couple. But wonder if they will end up together-there's a thin line between love and hate.
Lil and Gut. appear to be a lot alike. LOL, so funny-Lil fanning with her red fan (must be a hot flash).
David needs to wise up about Juan. But glad that David is finally being honest about
his feelings for Luciana.
Fer wants to grow up too fast. Such a shame she is throwing herself at Tano.
Looking forward to more recaps. Keep up the good work.
There were so many excellent lines including “She takes out her red fan and begins to fan herself. (Must be a hotflash)”. Most excellent.
“Sonia must be some chef! She made a Food Network worthy plate of what appears to be filet mignon and grilled asparagus”. I couldn’t identify what the components were so thank you for doing so. I love the little glint in Sonia’s eyes during any and all of her interactions with males, be it her handsome “senor” or sweet little Bobby. She genuinely cares for Bobby and while she is not at the top of his list, she certainly deserves honorable mention.
“But Susan, giving good advice says that you shouldn’t have to work that hard because it makes the other person feel pressured. And that is what Luciana is feeling right now, just very pressured in the relationship”. Wise words indeed. I loathe seeing Susan as the constant victim and am glad she was able to dispense solid advice. We might yet see the transformation into the strong, mature woman we caught glimpses of initially.
I must admit I was uncomfortable that David was challenging Miguel's motives, and doing so rather harshly. Miguel was wounded to the quick. And while he has been smothering Luciana somewhat, David should never have called out Miguel on his loyalty. I can see where David might have thought Erica was using Miguel but he should have some confidence in Miguel, who has long earned that right.
I was totally scratching my head over Brian last night. The fool. Why on earth did he persist on trying to be absolved from guilt that Marta clearly cannot give him?? Did he really think she would melt into his arms and all would be forgiven? I also can't buy his running back to Lili. None of this makes any sense. If anyone has a plausible explanation, please share.
I'm sure Juan's version of his father's lands being stolen is not what happened at all. He's been poisoned all these years and has fallen into a treacherous trap with Mark, Lili and Graciela. The quicksand that surrounds him is getting worse.
Al, welcome! Nice to read your comments.
Thank you Cynthia!

I agree Juan pulled this fine out of his butt. No one believes anything Juan says or does except David and Perla and they are idiots.
Plenty of times Miguel could/should have been dismissed because of his open hostility and threatening swagger towards David. So far David controlled himself and wish he had continued to do so. I felt sorry for Miguel for the first time but it is not all David's doing. You could see Miguel's despair contemplating an unrealized dream in the conversation with Susan and the argument with David. I just hope Miguel doesn't handle his the way Juan has.
How can Luciana choose to stay on the vineyard with David if Miguel leaves? Her default is always Miguel.
Erika: please take Miguel AWAY!
Memo to Marta: Ramon is right there for you!
Marta bawling and screeching FF
Marta and Luci talking about anything ZZZ
Luci's big plastic upper torso adornments struggling to escape.......pause...
Perla screeching and screaming....mute button
NoJuan fabricating documents showing that he invented the light bulb and the internet and David Dim Dummy giving him a bonus for exemplary contributions to wine making...what is this show? Cheech and Chong?
Knock knock
who's there
Dave
Dave's not here..............
If I were Soto I would refuse to play a man who has AntiBrain in his head.
He's not running Hewlett Packard or Boeing, this is a little one man winery .In two hours he should be able to do Payroll, Accounts Receivable, Payable, and his EPA quarterly. My neighbor's twelve year old would be more of a manager.
If DisGrace and NoJuan are successful it will be because he handed it to them on a silver platter.
So what does Brain have up his sleeve? It is ironic that someone here on Caray was laughing about Lilith telling "Everyone" to support him...no cancel that...er well yeah he is a good guy vote for.. whoops wait...a week ago. As though anyone in their right mind would believe her.
Ramon needs to go find a nice girl. Why rebuild a wreck that is totaled when for the same price you can pick up the same model with a clean vehicle history. Some people are too damaged to be fixed. Only after they do the repairs themselves are they of any interest to others.
I have never seen a telenovela in which so many adults were trying to win the favor of a little boy. Both DIsgrace and Luci want to win him over in order to win @dadDAve. I did think that Sonia's reaction to Bobby's kiss was sweet.
I am calling BS on Dave's calling Miguel on the carpet after seeing him in town with Erica. WTH. Miguel isn't allowed to talk to someone from another vineyard? So, Miguel will !Dave, and Disgrace will take a plane to sPain, so...Hmmm...That !Eaves Dave and Luci home on the range. I am expecting a tryst in the wind cellar.
I was just thinking how beautiful that bouquet of roses was and how expensive it must have been when Marta started bashing GUts with it. I thought that Marta might actually forgive him in the future because the writers are making Guts beg and plead with her in every episode. . However, if he can return to LIlian at this point,he does not deserve Marta's forgiveness. OH...MAYBE Marta is pregnant!! That would be an interesting twist.

So, Smelly "I'm not a killer" Mark is the one who killed Coyote? Or... is Juan really the killer, but doesn't want Perla to know that? Either way it's ridiculous that either of these two guys (who have no murdering experience that we know of) managed to off a professional.
I am very disappointed that Gut went back to Lil. I thought he was better than that. Yes Kirby that was me last week or the week before trying to figure out what Lil would say in the next round of phone calls. I don't especially like people telling me how to vote in the first place, but if that advice came from a "friend" like Lilian who kept changing her mind, I'd block her phone number.
David is foolish to pick this fight with Miguel not knowing how Luciana even feels about him. He's telling everyone that can walk upright he's in love but not her. David still thinks their early agreement is still in effect when Luciana ditched it after the earring theft and she began to encourage Miguel.
We're likely to be waiting for MONTHS for the anvils hitting the villains including FerBrat, Carito, Perla & Co.,
Uh, David, so it’s okay for your mother-in-law to be close to the competitor, but Miguel can’t be friends with his daughter?
I’ve been rooting for Gut, though it was ridiculous that he thought pretty flowers and another perdóname would work. Hombre, those might work for showing up late for a date or forgetting a birthday. But deporting a husband and daughter and then keeping mum about it before the nookie? You got to dig deeper for that. So I shouldn’t be surprised that you simply gave up and returned to being Lilian’s pet.
Yay, David is ready to lucha por amor. Maybe this is when the ratings went up in Mexico.
Welcome, Al!
Niece, perfectly stated. I totally agree! I did wonder if he was on the road to redemption, even though I thought the sin unforgiveable. Even if he had made a much quieter attempt to woo Marta back, say, giving her more than a day or two to let her rage and hatred might subside a bit, I didn't see her ever going back with him. I did think he might have died in order to save someone else. That may still happen (speculation no spoiler). It makes a bit more sense that his stroll down the unbeaten path of salvation was momentary at best. It does make my skin crawl that he went back to Lili. I hope they go off the cliff together. Blech.

I get frustrated with this story because the writers take such liberties with how they perceive our laws here in the USA. With this $10,000 "fine" David received through Juan, he doesn't even flinch at the fact that he was never arrested and never saw a Federal agent come in to assess the situation. The writers must not understand "due process" when it comes to our laws. I have no idea what the laws are in Mexico, but I hear the Federales kind of do what they please and there is a lot of palm greasing going on.
The law is here:
http://americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/AidAbetUnlawfulSec8USC1324.html
The only thing Miguel and Leon are guilty of is offering humanitarian aid to a girl who was starving and mistreated. Then they took her to the police, so David as an employer is not guilty of doing anything. He didn't even employ her as she was merely squatting on his property as a trespasser, actually.
Marta, a grown ass woman, acting as if Brian took advantage of her is laughable. Soon as she eyeballed him and thought it fun to use him to tweak Lilian and sample the goods this one was on her. Brian didn't force her to fall in love while poor Marcos's ashes still warm.
Amen, tofie! That wailing and flailing and bending over double, give me a break! They need to let that tire sh** go! So overdone. Just knowing he was a po po and that he had once been an immigration officer should have been enough for her to call off the game and quench the hots she was getting for Gut. What a hypocrite Marta is!
And Gut going back to Lilian? Diana, there's no explanation. Careless writing or Gut, Lilian AND Marta are all morally bankrupt. . .Now, I ain't no baby myself but these flip-floppy geriatric love stories are leaving me cold.
Have to say I loved the content and the tone of the talk Luci had with Tano. The bit of mother wit she shared was on point: "Don't make something good look bad."
Great advice Susan gave Miguel, too. Miguel HAS been doing a lot of huffing and puffing but upon talking openly with Dave about their competition over Luciana, Miguel's plaintive confession was touching: He said the Patron knows he's loved Luciana since they were little kids and that he'd always looked up to the Patron and dreamed of having a family like his and now he can't believe that the Patron is his rival for Luciana. Miguel's bluster was cut, for once, and he seemed on the edge of tears. He must feel betrayed by both Luciana AND David. He knows Luci isn't that into him and the reason is El Patron.
Miguel, time for some balm called "Erica."
Now, if Dave is ready to fight for Luci's love, the first one he has to fight is Fer. I think Luci having caught Fer out late at the vat room cozying up to Tano and promising not to tell her Dad may take some fight out of Fer. Not that Luci will blackmail her but, in the same sensitive way she talked to her today, Luci will be able to reason with her and call her out on her unfairness.
Thanks, Cynthia! Always a pleasure, always a treat!
Luci had with FER
I, too, have had enough of the triangle from hell..Lilian, Gut, and Marta. Basta. Not interested. I took amigo Carlos..NEXT !!!!
OT..Lila..I left a late message for you on the previous recap.
That was a heartwarming scene with the two unofficial stars of the show. All these other thieves, liars and alley cats in heat do not interest me nearly as much.
Sonia is so freaky, I hope we see her bloom and end her loneliness somewhere, somehow along the way.
Tofie speak great wisdom for paleface.
Wow. Thank you for everything in context for us Lila. "Seeing" what was said made me feel for Miguel. "Miguel's bluster was cut, for once, and he seemed on the edge of tears" mirrored his exact reaction perfectly.
Amazing comments today all.
Thank you.
Diana
Onward..It is a bit too late for crocodile tears from Miggy Biggie or PoPoGut. Miggie's blubbering BooHoo last night sure didn't fit with wanting to whip the (very benevolent I might add) boss's ass in almost every contact since Luci showed up. Should have been fired long ago. I do not believe in being a dictator but if someone does not have sense enough to correct things or leave on their own, then help them along with a pink slip. Miggyorama has known forever that there was "something" up with Luci and the boss, on both sides. That was his first clue to forget Luci or leave or convince her to leave. You don't light a bonfire, throw a bit of kerosene on for good measure, then complain how it is too warm for your liking.
I wish I had Bobby's phone number or at least could friend him on Farcebook. Or better, have some of his other precocious perceptive playmates meet DisGracie and then later confirm for him what we all know and I am sure Bobby suspects. Kids are smart, and know far more than they let on. I am still counting on Bobby to unmask DG.
Miguel, honey, like Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell said, "It takes to bay-bay-ay-ay. . .to make a dream come true!" Luci didn't buy into the dream!
More later, maybe.
We learned about that probably not 10 episodes in from his own mouth and David's explanation. We're, what, 67 in, and it's just resurfacing? It's been what 12 + years he's been trying to ruin David? He should have tried the succinic acid several harvests in a row.
However, where would Juan have gotten the cash infusion necessary to buy the property at auction? Gracie wasn't around for a number of years. Oh, that's right, he's back on track now that he recently got an on-the-side-get-rich-quick scheme.
Also, I thought David had put Juan sort of "on probation" and he was supposed to report to Miguel and Susan. He seems to do whatever he wants and I don't see Sue or Mike reviewing his books. Susan keeps her eye trained on the microscope and Miggie's on Luci, Marta, Leon, Erika and David.
Have I told you all I'm getting tired of the snail's pace? Yes, I know I have. I started watching and reading the recaps, from the beginning, for A Que No Me Dejas a few weeks ago and more exciting stuff has happened in 50 episodes with a sterling cast, good writing and directing. Been lovin' it. So glad I decided to seek it out.
And no, it can't touch Dejas for all the reasons you named above. OMG! Except for one (major) plot point, I'm all in.
Anywho, back to this one, it is the most love-starved novela I've ever seen. We've only gotten, I think, three pairings of people we'd rather not see getting jiggy with it, oh, make that four distasteful pairings: Two yucky (sorta) younger couples and two Geritol-esque tanglings. BOR-ING! Maybe we'll get some movement tonight but, for the most part this show suffers from creative constipation.
I was watching Brian through his scene with Lillian and I'm not sure he isn't looking to get even with Lillian for this. I doubt he really wants to get jiggy with her unless he's working undercover for something. He can do better and I think he knows it.
He did underestimate Marta's emotions. What must his family life have been like?
Juan's story came right out of the script of LQNPA, another Castro production but with much better writing and a far better leading man.
That Mark is a killer should come as no surprise to anyone. At least Perla ratted him out to Juan about his intentions toward her although I don't expect her to benefit from it.
Anywho, maybe they'll let this storyline die because Marta stretching her gaping trap and bawling over Gut when she was not sincere in her "attraction" to him is ooold.
About the feelings they both have for Lucy. The mig looked shocked. That was a good thing. He needed that, now maybe he'll shake himself out of the
Cloud he's been in since lucy's been back. He's still in "little boy in love land". Snap out of it man, she left that fairytail years ago. Grow up and Move on. Hes really hurt. Ok! Thank you Cynthia, outstanding as always.
