Vino el Amor #100; Thursday, March 23, 2017: Vino el Bombshell
Labels: vino
Well, some people are going to Colorado and others are going to San FRancisco. Will some people end up dead and others pregnant? And again, the amazing multipurpose office\bedroom\livingroom. Get a room...Well, get another room.
Cynthia, I wish every episode was as fascinating as your superb recaps! "Vino el Bombshell" was inspired along with everything else.
Every one of your pictures truly tells a story and adds so much.
"Erica cries, “Luciana can never give you the love I can give you.” Ouch. Simply painful. That said, I must admit I am wondering myself if Miguel will weaken and seek Luciana out again. He seems to want to honor his relationship with Erica but I think it's clear he isn't over Luci and frankly, her jealous attitude is not helping. Susanlynn, I cringed at their move to the couch of too much action...Sigh.
You noted that Fer said her father should end up with someone JUST LIKE Graciela, but she didn't say Graciela herself, correct? I don't know if that matters at all, but it will be interesting to hear what David says.
When David and Fer were doing the wine tasting, Luciana had a huge, beaming smile at Fer. The actress can light up a room. But I've never seen her direct that high wattage smile to David alone.
I hope Carito doesn't come back. If so, I fear she will be a dead woman walking. If Mark has left the area (which I have my doubts about) it seems certain he will be back for vengeance. It's just a matter of who ends up being the target.
I feel for Luci more than anyone at the moment. Despite Fer being horrible to her, she handled the situation last night with kindness and encouragement. She is shouldering a lot now. I was miffed at Marta who continues to try and receive absolution for her sins while her daughter's heart is broken. Tunnel vision.
I am fervently hoping the only time we will see Brian from this point on concerns police business and that he won't meddle in Lili or Marta's affairs or try and engage in one with either one.
Thank you Cynthia!
Diana
I was preparing for another tantrum when Fernanda entered the cava. Fortunately, that did not happen.
As to whether Dr Evil can prescribe, I'm sure he has a black market source. It looks like DisGrace wants Fer to OD again. She couldn't care less if that happened.
So did anyone believe Gut last night when he gave wretched Lil his Pep Talk? I actually did. I think he is trying to atone for the things he has done which he now knows were very wrong. That said, I am waiting for him to remember the deportation and who came up with THAT idea.
It is encouraging to see not only David but Fer also is not buying Dr. Evil/DisGrace's bullcrap .
Is Dr. Evil losing his nerve? Or just now realizing he is flirting with actually going to jail for this shit?
And is he smoking crack too? He wants to write FerBrat a script ?
A. That is what got her into this mess.
B. If HE can write prescriptions I can too, right? Neither of us have a Medical License.
Because of this it appears DisGrace is cooking up yet another evil plan. She was texting Wiley Coyote after Fer talked to her. Looking for that ACME exploding birdseed.
Tano is building brownie points Lots of brownie points.
Erika is NOT.
Ramon, David, Miguel and Cesar are all nice guys, way too nice. Just pitiful woosies. Will just one of you grow a pair and teach the others.
Diana, I am dazzled by your consistently elegant , eloquent daily words . You have such insight into these characters.
"Erica looks bright eyed and bushy-tailed"
I almost bought Miguel is committed to Erika, not that he doesn't love Luciana, but that he took Leon's warning. Don't lose a good thing over a relationship that won't happen with Luciana.
Makes me nervous David assured Luciana she will be front and center during this presentation. Graciela will have to step in and save it.
I so don't care at all about Lilian, Marta and Brian. Don't care.
Thought David, Tano and Fernanda came to an agreement already so why all the sneaking around? Nothing ever changes, ever.
David better take the woman he loves away for the afternoon and not answer the phone and everyone can go to hell. Holding hands, head butts and a pat on the ass ain't enough. David does not empathize with Luciana at all and appears not to care how much this hurts. He did tell her good morning and asked her how she was, she said she couldn't sleep well last night, and he totally ignored it. Dude needs to learn how to listen.
When is Marta going to help Luciana?
Every time I am appalled at how ruthless she is I stop and remind myself that she DID murder her Sister in cold blood as the kick off for her grand quest. So I suppose, what is one more.
The tension between Lil and DisGrace is becoming more obvious. I can't wait until those two start seriously fighting. There seems to be an uneasy truce now as they both think they need each other. When either one suspects the other is no longer useful I hope the fur will fly.
Lillian is slowly realizing that DisGrace has no soul, conscience or heart. DisGrace is beginning to realize that her Mom does have a tiny speck of those qualities, and hopefully this will be the straw which breaks the camels back.
I was impressed with Carita last night. Is it Carita or Carito. I would have sworn Perla's phone said Carito with an O.
BTW Dr. Evil, this is the USA, not Mexico, Prescription medications, especially "mood altering" substances, are given a bit of scrutiny.
I take it that NoJuan no longer needs SkidMark as his only utility to NoJuan was a way to get enough money to buy the land to ruin David. Now that that scheme is going along 'swimmingly' Skid can just go away.
Kirby..You are so right about Lilian and Disgrace. Lilian is a nasty, bitter, selfish woman , but DisGracie is platinum blonde evil incarnate. Hell on heels. It must be awful for a mother to look at an offspring who has gone so far into the dark side and has no redeeming qualities. Pride in your children and the hope of leaving a lasting legacy of good is important to most people. Apple>tree.
Remind me again about the ages. How much older is Dave than LUci?About 15 years? How much older is LU than Fer? About 5 years?
I am not having a good day but your generous words cheered me immeasurably.
Diana
"Vino el Romance"? I hope so. This story could use a little romance.
Why did David tell Erika that he and Luci had broken up? She didn't need to know that. Besides, it's only half-true.
"Dave explains that Fer needed her aunt for this time and when she has fully recovered he will have Grace leave." Okay, see, it just came out of Dave's own mouth why Grace would be motivated to keep Fernanda sick. Knowing what he already knows about Grace, he should be more careful.
"[Lil] wants to be sure that [Gut] did it to hurt Marta and not her." Sigh, that is pathetic. I thought Lil was smarter than that.
Glad CaritO said NO to Perla's gracious invitation to place herself in Mark's crosshairs.
So the doctor is somehow (without a license) going to write Fer an Rx for something that she can kill herself with. (Or get addicted to - thanks Kirby for pointing that out.) I don't know all the details of the CA penal code, but I bet that practicing medicine without a license and illegally prescribing drugs (especially addictive ones) can land you in jail if you do it too often. Well, that's fine. Dr. Evil and Mark can be roommates.
Diana, I hope your day gets better!
I am super-bummed that there's no episode tonight. (So said my Comcast program guide; can anyone else confirm?) But I have an idea for a special that I can do in lieu of a recap this weekend.
Tano really is the Fer Whisperer. I think the wine should be called Vino del Tano.
Unfortunately, Fer is way too easy to manipulate and there we had the rest of the episode.
Mark is THE WORST. Juan is close but his clothes are a little better.
Diana, hope your day improves!
Julie, not sure about tonight, but they didn't show avances last night so that's usually a sign of preemption.
Dy77..I think that VIno el Tano would be a better name and a fitting tribute to the only functioning FEr WHisperer in this show. Not surprising that TAno is the only one really getting through to FErn with any reality . Teens always listen to their peers , especially their sweethearts, more than they do to any adults in their orbits.
Thank you, dy--great capture of the episode. I love to read your recaps. They make more sense that what the writers are trying to convey on the screen.
Tofie--"Luciana may love David but they do not relate." This is the most profound statement on their love affair to date.
Diana--"Pure speculation but the thought she [Erika] could be Graciela's sister would be rich." Wouldn't it, though. The writers have no imagination. Here they've spent all this time on Erika's hate on Luci and Grace's hate on Luci, when the two could have gotten together and blasted Luci into smithereens (or not). Maybe they would turn on each other and leave Luci to have both Miguel and Dave. Now THAT would be interesting.
BillC, Diana y otros--The relationship between Gut and Old Fer is completely unbelievable as far as their being besties, timeline or not. Didn't Gutierrez come onto our screen *hating* Latinos and everything they stood for--because of his own ancestry? Por favor, gimme a break.
I'm halfway through Wednesday's comments and now I need a break.
I've never forgotten Gutierrez being ashamed of being Latino because he wanted to be ANGLO so bad.
Urban--your instincts on how to make Azela Robinson's character more evil were correct. We saw evidences of it when she confronted Luciana in the bodega with Miguel as children. The writers should have gone with that type of anger--which led to the deportation. Instead all that petered out and now she's only Second Banana to DisGracie. Don't get me wrong, DisGracie has turned into an excellent Evil Queen.
UA and Diana--as to "the question why did Adolfo's wife go back to Spain. So, you're not alone, I'm wondering too." Maybe the writers did that to give us some of Erika's and Adolfo's backstory. Also, with Erika studying in Spain, it would have been acceptable for her to live with her mother--although that was not brought up. My theory, crackpotted as it is, is that the writers know how upset we all get when we *don't* know people's backstory. Why is there no woman around Erika and Adolfo? Is everyone on this show widowed or orphaned? Can't have too many of those...let's make them divorced, or it goes something like that. They threw us a crumb and doesn't amount to anything sinister.
But, I love the idea that she bore Fernando's child and when the paternity was revealed, she went off to Spain and left Erika with Adolfo, thus creating the bond he has with her. Maybe studying in Spain was independent of her mother.
Niecie--right on with your comment on Gut just now "meeting" Marta for this first time, yet knowing about her from 20 years ago. Maybe he just didn't recognize the dowdy, black clunker, stringy haired woman she had become.
Addendum to Gut and Fernando--If Old Fer needed to marry a gringa ciudadana to get permanent residence, I'll bet my next glass of Vino Reserva that he didn't speak any English. Why would Gut have given him the time of day.....Also, it takes time to form a friendship, which I don't think Old Fer and Gut had much of.
Still much to be explained....
Julie--"I don't think we know Cesar's history, but if he has an ex-wife somewhere, she could always show up and make things interesting!" Poor Cesar, he's been so busy studying to be a doctor and then going abroad to specialize. (Do we even know what new skill he had when he returned?) Then, he spends a lot of his time in the hospital, except when he visits David and now Sooooosan.
It seems to me I recall David saying something to the effect that he'd been a bachelor far too long and he needed a woman in his life. We all know Cesar is shy, probably afraid of women. Poor guy, trying out his chops first time out with DisGraceful. I don't blame him for bombing.
Make up very well when they do. I really don't want that Dr nut person to start pumpin fer with meds out of
his meds cabinetThat could be of very fatal.
And she wants dad to have somebody like Tia murderous crazy Grace?Hell NO
Absolutely not. That deserved a freeze
Frame. I will be so glad when the
Writers write in that fer will see her
Crazy ass Tia like Adriana finally see
Hers on that one that's on at 2:00 in
The afternoon.
Ok at work gotta go. Thank you Cynthia
"It's 'Running of the Bulls', Dave, they are sure to need me. I'll be back in a week and we can have a wine and look at my pictures."
Pictures, um..yeah OK Cesar. You taking SooSan?
Soooo tired of Erica's jealousy. Say what you will about Lu, that girl's got pride.
Diana, sorry this isn't a good day for you. I hope you feel better soon.
Rain predicted for the next four days, and temps down to 47 on Sunday. Spring?
We were the ones fooled by the avances the night before. We thought our FerBrat had had a complete change of heart, only to have her end the conversation with David with "someone like Tia Gracy. Yep, Lil and Marta aren't the only ones who get fooled by some character.
This doctor needs to be reported for malpractice. Who ever heard of "prescribing" a young adolescent pills to take when she was feeling down, unsupervised--just as he's about to stop the sessions. He should have been "prescribing" them from the very beginning just to be able to monitor their effect on Fer. What do I know about the practice of medicine--it seems just common sense to me. I hope Fer tells David about the pills.
Another one to seek out is, of course, Lion, with Dev Patel (in the second half).
Lastly, and I just saw it last night, is The Salesman, an Iranian offering with a gritty look into the homelife of an everyday couple--who incidentally also belong to an acting troupe doing Death of a Salesman. Very well done.
Tomorrow I will try to post something special in lieu of a recap. I had an idea before, but it didn't work out. I'll think of something else.
I am anxious to see how this show plays out. We can't get rid of Juan until he does whatever he plans to do with that cellphone. Everyjuan is going to absolutely freak out when the mask is removed from that lovely, delicate face . I still think Lu and Dave are meant to end up together . Is there a 15 year age difference there? I also see Miguel ending up with Erica and the vineyard. I wonder if Erica is pregnant because they went to San Francisco on that couch twice that viewers saw , and I don't think that anyone pulled over at a CVS for birth control on the road to San Fran . I think that the writers are teasing us with the Ramon-Brian-Marta triangle. I have a funny feeling that Gut is going to either end up dead or with Marta. No happy ending for that bitter pill Lilian.
I wonder what does she have planned for him ?
Yeah Lilian told Brian his treatment of her recently and his admission that his reason for telling both the women about Fernando was also to help Marta, would result in his regretting it for the rest of his life. And she implied it would be her doing which would cause Brian to pay so dearly.
Kirby, just noticed the new eagle picture. Amazing. Been watching the Florida and DC eagle cams for a year. Absolutely beautiful!
Lurking Linda
Hope you like them. I believe you can click the picture, and when google opens, click the same picture again and see a full size.
This says it best: "I was miffed at Marta who continues to try and receive absolution for her sins while her daughter's heart is broken. Tunnel vision." --Diane
Like the saying, "There's no fool like an old fool." Marta is an old fool and she needs to stop her ugly bawling, let this stench-filled chapter of her life die and act on what she heard Lil telling Gut in the restaurant and save David, who has been so good to her from becoming a worse puppet than he is already.
That's the other tired storyline, wild-eyed DisGraceful workin' David like a dollar store puppet with a single-mindedness dexterity that is truly psychotic and beyond David's ability to protect himself against. All Marta has to do is tell what she heard, David can put this together with his doubts and this whole damn game would be up and we wouldn't have to watch adults quaking under the glare of a spoiled, selfish, hypocritical, developmentally arrested little twerp like Ferbrat!
Luci looks tired, though she did light up during the wine presentation and interacting with Fer in the cava. Miguel and Erika with her whining and insecurity are as tiring as that old couch they keep abusing. And I hope there's some Plug-Ins in that room. Sheesh!
Tano and Bobby are definitely a breath of fresh air, add Leo and Sonia.
I BEEN ready for skidmark's stanky ass to get crushed. Perla's falling apart and I'm surprised to say I think Juan does care for her in his own way but I get the feeling somebody's going to die in this part of the story.
Everybody is so sharp on this patio and I'd end up quoting the whole thing to cite them all!
Susanlynn and Kirby! thanks for the advice for sneaking and reading recap during professional conferences! Alas, I couldn't really sneak a peak at recaps until the darned thing was over! They were hard core and I couldn't slip away!
Glad to be back! Should be a fun weekend. Look forward to whatever you bring, Julie! Thanks again Cynthia and DY!
Some of you were mentioning Cesar and why he's not married. He has never been married. He told Susan (or was it DisGrace?) one time that the reason he was never married was because in the beginning of his becoming a doctor, he worked all kinds of hours and ladies didn't like the fact that he got called to duty rather going out on dates. He said he couldn't find a good woman to put up with that, so he's been single ever since.
I noticed that Vino was pre-empted by the soccer game tonight. Looks like we will have to wait till Monday on episode 101.
And I do have a better idea for what to post tomorrow. It won't be very long, but it is the kind of thing that will inspire Patio Participation. :-)
And Power Rangers was EXTREMELY satisfying. There were actual shrieks of delight from the audience. So, boo on Univision for not airing episode tonight, but yay for getting to go out and see a moving picture!
Ok, ok, I'm better, I, I just missed fussing about that with all of you. What an idiotic story line. The whole DisGraceful manipulation of David could end in one afternoon: I'm sorry I can't remember, maybe it was Julie that said David himself acknowledged DGs plan: Fer needs Graciela to stay until she gets better. Now brainwashed Fer gives David permission to fall in love with someone . . .LIKE TIA GRACE. All Marta has to do is open her flapping trap and tell David that she heard Lil outline this whole plan to Gut. Then, we can move this drama away from two old heffas fighting over a dead man and have some dueling vineyards, Power Rangers rescue enslaved workers, anything but Lil, Marta and Brian!
Ok. I said I was done. I need to get some breakfast!
I'm sipping my coffee and laughed out loud in appreciation with "Oh, Fernando was playing with me!" Ya stoopid ****, he was married, you were married and you were a willing partner to submitting to him wherever the hell your dirty little trysts were!" What can I say Lila? Clever and dead on.
Glad you are back!
Like the rest of the patio, can't wait to see what Julie has in store for us today. Should be great fun.
Diana
Lila..Doing all that work stuff all week at the conference seems to have left you with a lot of pent up..1.energy?..2.emotion??.....3.frustration?...4.rage??? All of the above? It is soooo annoying when real life interferes with our telenovelas and cyber life, right?
Cynthia, my best friend and I went to one of those conferences a few years ago. I thought it would be a fun day out, but some of those folks were very ..intense. Did you have a good time?
Julie..I am glad that you enjoyed The Power Rangers. I don't think that I can get Hubba to go to that one. Maybe King Kong.
Well, I got to sleep late for the first time in two weeks, so I plan to get some coffee and hang out on the patio (not my real patio...it is 54 right now) in between doing chores and correcting papers and grocery shopping.
My beef is that Cynthia Klitbo is a fantastic actress. Just go back and watch her descent into dangerous crazyhood in El Privilegio de Amar. She was great in La Sombra, very recently. I can't believe she's turned into this flat, whiny, boohooing one-dimensional old lady (along with Azela Robinson) in a couple of years.
These writers and directors did not know what to do with these two women. What a waste. The two could have been written much better and still not lost the thread of the story. Sadly, Marta's revelation is no longer that shocking in today's times. And, it happens at all levels of society. It hurts families, sometimes indelibly, but no one dies from an adulterous affair (or do they....).
;D
Hello amigas.
I totally agree with you Anita that Azela and Cynthia are wasted here. I love Cynthia. The first time I saw her was Teresa, and although she has been lauded for her villain roles, I've only seen her as an antagonist (or here, a mixture?) but she's been great. I guess my comment is that I am glad they didn't go with less talented actresses for either part. Can you imagine? Shudder...
I do not want Fer to take those pills. Not sure if the doctor has to or plans on telling David or can he just give them to her? She is technically of age.
Susanlynn, glad you were able to sleep in today. I am hoping to do that tomorrow...
Diana
Did Fer tell Dave about the pills? Did she tell him that she actually feels worse after a session with Dr. Evil? The conversation she had with DisGraceful, she should've had with Dave instead of this you need a woman like DG crap!
