Vino el Amor #90; Thursday, March 9, 2017: Fernanda wakes up, but still angry
Labels: vino
Martyra's true colors are really beginning to show now.
Pitiful as his life situation is, Mr Robles has brought all this on himself. It was not his fault that DisGrace murdered his wife, although he should probably have seen it coming. But all this. is his alone. He is the owner, the Father the proprietor, the boss. In all these people's orbits he is their supreme being and the animals are running the zoo.
He is a big boy, he is rich and intelligent, he should manage better. Ferzilla took all those pills not trying suicide, but because for the first time in her coddled, sheltered self centered life she was a bit uncomfortable and it was absolutely unbearable. I have bad news Brat, life has a real propensity for discomfort and it is very generous with it. Life aint fair. Dave is like a neighbor with 7 DUIs who just thinks life has it out for him.
As he will never have the balls to scrape all these barnacles off himself, the best David could do is sell it all and move to Florida. That is what half the people here have done.
Carita has been warned, and ironically by the most unlikely person given the last chat we saw between the two.
Perla thinks she is hot shit with a fresh coat of paint and a polyester dress from T J Maxx. She doesn't know she is disposable does she?
I am glad Ferzilla didn't die. If she is going to, someone beside her should get the credit for the job. :-)
Happy Friday

Ferzilla did not intend to commit suicide. She was drunk when she took the pills, therefore judgement-impaired. That does not absolve her from needing to see a shrink. Marta was the right person to see her in the hospital because she is on board with that. She also evaded the question about David and Luciana, which also was a good thing. Her fail in this episode was in telling Luciana that she and David should break up.
DisGracie does not need to enquire about where those pills came from. FerBrat had the prescription bottle which can answer that question. In fact, that bottle should either be in David's or Cesar's possession at the moment. The mother whose name is on that bottle needs to address the underage drinking issue with her daughter and call the parent of the other girl.
More later. I need to work on the Karmageddon page for AQMND.
I missed the first 15 minutes so am glad to see Perla tried to warn Carito. Carito is in serious jeopardy! I hope she can get away from grungy awful Mark first, and then the vineyard that makes no wine and take the job with Miguel and Erika.
I agree UA, Fer's pill taking was more a "trying to numb pain" thing than a suicide attempt. Still something for David as a parent to take seriously and seek professional help to deal with. Kirby, I agree, a great deal of this siutation is totally on David's shoulders; he's the one who checked out of life, didn't seek treatment for himself and didn't bother parenting for almost three crucial teenage years.
Marta was so good with Fer. And then she clonked around in those clonky shoes and was Gracie'esque in trying to use the situation with Fer to guilt Luciana into breaking up with David. C'mon Marta.
Ditto the ditto Kirby and UA
“I need to be with my little girl and see how she is, since I’m the one who has tended to her needs and taught her all these years.”
David has paid Marta way too much.
Fernanda is her favorite daughter but does she have to be so damn obvious? In terms of permanent scars, Marta's hatchet hacks on Luciana more damaging than Graciela's. Unexplored is the neglect Leon likely suffered, Luciana had one attentive loving parent.
Yes, kirby, life , as they say, is what happens to you while you are making other plans. Nobody escapes problems , difficulties, and obstacles. Some we bring on ourselves by decisions that we make, but others are out of our control...the luck of the draw...because stuff happens. You have to wonder how this girl is going to deal when a real life tragedy happens to her . Marta has cared for her since she was born , changed her diapers, fed her, tended to her wounds , so perhaps she will be able to help Fer. Marta shouldn't have told Luci that she shouldn't be with Dave. That would just prove to Fer that hissy fits , alcohol, and pills are effective means to get your way.
I am glad that things are beginning to move along. The anvils are starting to line up.
OT Snowing here, and it looks like a noreaster is coming early next week.
OT Dont forget to turn your clocks one hour ahead this weekend.
Any criticism of Luciana by Marta would hurt more because Marta is her mother. Luciana knows better than to take DisGracie's nasty remarks seriously and not just because she knows the motive. I think she is smart enough to know that DisGracie has more than a few screws loose.
Your screen shots were great - my fav was Bobby, Sonia and Leon...I'm happy she has been elevated to 5th in his affections.
UA, you are right in that Fer was drunk when she took the pills. But my own perception is that she did hesitate before she took the pills and I do think she realized what she was doing. Again, only my own thought and I could be very wrong.
As anyone who has had a family member or loved one who has attempted suicide knows, things are very complicated. Often, those closest feel guilt (for many reasons) especially in berating themselves for not "seeing it coming" or not having the foresight to do something to prevent it. There is clearly tremendous pain and guilt.
dy and Susanlynn, thank you for reminding me that Marta raised Fernanda and of course, there is great mutual love there. But damn. I need to echo tofie's "Fernanda is her favorite daughter but does she have to be so damn obvious". I have to (sadly) agree.
“If anything were to happen to her, I’d just die”. Marta, your support of your daughter, (umm, your birth daughter) completely dissipated when you uttered those words to Luci. Isn’t Lucia’s heart breaking as it is? Is her palpable, heartbreaking feelings of guilt not enough? And then Marta poured accelerant on the fire by “The truth is honey, what Fernanda did pretty much has everything to do with your relationship with David.” Speechless. What Marta should practice once in a while. Censor before you speak. Blech.
And Brian being annoyed because Lil blew him off as her granddaughter is in the hospital? Basta! Just go away Brian.
What a kind gesture that Miguel and Erica want her to go there. And while it would be a great solution, poor Carito would again be subjected to being close to Miguel, with the second love of his life right in her face. I continue to be worried for her.
Gee Kirby. I kind of like my poly TJ Maxx clothes. Should I rethink my shopping source? ;)
Julie, can't wait to read one of your recaps again!
Cynthia, this was awesome. Thank you.
Diana
I agree that Marta is closer to Fer because she actually raised her, but Marta doesn't try to hide this fact from poor Luci. However, in the end, Luci will be rewarded by telenovela gods. I cannot imagine what those forces have in store for the hatefilled disgraceful Disgrace.
Criticism Luciana can accept but Marta isn't criticizing but trying to beat her into submission or leave. Marta wants her world back and Luciana is the foil.
Lilian she can crush by taking her man, any man but right now she cannot resume with Brian since she has to pretend to be upset Luciana was exiled. Luciana leaves and the guilt goes with her.
So the friend's mother's name wasn't on the PROZAT bottle? Or nobody thought to look at it? That's weird.
It's true that Fernanda wasn't intending to kill herself. I just don't understand why she didn't try taking ONE pill first. (They would have given her some good pain pills when she busted her leg. Did she take a handful of Demerol?)
I saw Marta's shoes. I confess, I have bad feet so I wear clunky shoes... but not that clunky.
Totally agree that Marta really stepped in it with those big clunky shoes when she so obviously favored Fer over Luci, but it's not even the first time. And I also agree that if Marta gets her way - that Luci and David split up - it will teach Fernanda the wrong lesson.
And Lil backing out on the charity event - so much for her TRUE LOVE for Gut. Maybe she'll show up a couple of hours late, drunk. That would be fun.
I'm excited to recap tonight. I hope Carito doesn't get whacked. It would be nice, actually, if Skidmark were to be caught in the act. Then they'd have to put him away again and this time Juan wouldn't have any money to bail him out with (unless he steals the proceeds from Gut's charity event, but I don't think he could get away with that).
Susanlynn - I discovered last night that I posted my first recap to Caray on 7/31/06, and the blog was at least a few months old at that time. If you've been around since before Caray, that means it's been a good 11 years or so! Wow!!
OT snowing here too, grumble grumble.
Julie..wow, I first surfed here when it was Pratie place, I think, and Melinama (our blogmom's screen name) had just decided to recap Alborada by herself. I had surfed past telenovelas in the past, but I saw Fernando Colunga dressed as Don Luis with long, dark hair and big brown eyes and wearing a ruffled shirt and what appeared to be leggings and high leather boots. Wait.. what is this???? I was hooked. I usually place events by who has died , so I thought it was after my mother died which was about ten years ago, but it must have been when my aunt died. Before that , after my dad died a week after my older daughter went to college, I fell into Highlander the TV series and a blog of fans on the Internet. TV and blog sites seem to be my drug of choice when dealing with the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune including the death of loved ones. Many people who were here when I first arrived are long gone, but I kind of stick to things until I can't .
Julie, I agree about the wrong lesson. Fernanda is more than old enough to know that you can't always get what you want. She is also old enough to know that what one wants is not always what's good for one... or someone else. She expects David to become a monk because her mother died which is both ridiculous and monstrously selfish. She isn't 6 years old but she's acting like it.
BTW having 18 birthdays does not in and of themselves teach one that she can not always get what she wants in the face of contradictory evidence.
I think it must have been those garish leisure suits that turned me against plastic clothing. If it comes to it, I'd prefer my clothing burst into flame than melt and stick to me. But it hasn't happened yet. :-)
As to the 18 thing... she is old enough. The fault lies with all the "adults" around her but mostly with Lillian and DisGracie who taught her how to manipulate.
Now, as for Carito, I'm not sure what to make of her at this point. She has not paid for her nastiness to Luciana, but dying at the hands of the SkidMark is excessive and it's too early for him to be caught.
I checked my Karmageddon page for this series and it's pitifully short compared to what I just posted for AQNMD. This series is kid stuff by comparison.
Carito isn't any brighter than Perla. She acts as if she's all alone in the world, even though she works with very nice people who would have been her friends if she hadn't been clinging to Perla. And her conscience is pretty messed up: she risks Skidmark's wrath by bringing food to the workers, and even encourages them to escape. But when she has a chance to help her beloved Miguel by speaking to the police (who would protect her), she clams up. Argh.
So Marta, David is not to ever again have another woman because Fer might go suicidal? Lucky for you, Luciana didn't go suicidal when a month or so after sprinkling Marcos's ashes you took up with Gut.
I was surprised Susan went with Miguel and Paco. I hope she has a taser or something on her in case she runs into Mark.
I'm thinking David caught Graciela in a lie. DisGrace claimed she didn't know where Fer was, but in the hospital Fer said DisGrace took her to her friend's house. One positive - Fer is ticked with DisGrace too.
Julie, looking forward to reading your recaps again. Hope the writers have something good in store tonight, but regardless I know the recap will be fun.
Kirby. ..leisure suits . Was the person responsible for those ever punished ? #toomuchleisure
Sage comment - Kirby I have bad news Brat, life has a real propensity for discomfort and it is very generous with it.
(Hopefully) Prophetic comment - Julie Maybe she'll show up a couple of hours late, drunk. That would be fun.
Just damned funny - Urban
It only takes one summer to show that polyester is an invention from hell.
Ah, I love it! Thanks again, Cynthia. Maybe we could have a weekend discussion on screen cap techniques one day or a FAQ and Q & A. You slay the screencaps, amiga!
Many years ago I went on a behind-the-scenes tour at Disney World on a very hot day. Our cotton and rayon clothes were getting wrinkled and soggy as we all wilted in the heat, but our tour guide's white polyester blouse remained crisp and wrinkle-free. However, I could see pools of sweat underneath her blouse where the fabric was sticking to her wet skin. Poor thing. At Disney, it's better to look good than to feel good!
Carito getting hurt in any way is karma for Perla rather than herself at this point. That said, in passing up her one chance to begin to get out clean by admitting everything to Miguel (which would also help him, her still-would-be-boo), it's probably not looking good for her at this point...especially with Mark stalking her in this episode like a grunged-out Ryan Gosling.
And I'm oddly reassured that I'm not the only one who was distracted by whatever the hell Marta was wearing that qualified as "shoes." Wardrobe has been pretty consistent with "frumpy and functional but somewhat attractive" with her apart from that one blue "I probably slept in this" dress that made another appearance as well, but even that's a step up from...them. #hipsterclogs
And..Ryan Gosling is muy offended. Marked does remind me of someone , but it is not Ryan. I think its the guy who sat beside me in trigonometry class. He wasn't grimy.
May I please have some doritos?
He sure got over that quick, huh?
1.) The Odd Couple: Juan & OJ Mark ROFLOL.
2.) Serves Carito RIGHT!
I hope David rips DisGracie another one, THEN throws her out!
I'm afraid Carito may be a goner. She really messed up bing time not coming clean to Miguel. And wasn't she carrying grocery bags full of food and water for the workers?
Are Miguel and Susan waiting for the truck with the workers to pull up at the spot Paco showed them?
Seems like I may need to go back and consult hulu+ because I also wonder if Fer really said that DisGrace took her to her friend's house. I hope she did!
And still staying on task, really Gut, an eighteen year old almost died, and you are pouting because her grandma won't help you with your EVENT. Boo and hoo, you big, petulant, shallow, egotistical, goodlooking, hunky baby . #fairsfairgoodgenes
I don't know anything about the SoNapa (NapSoma?) area, but I'd guess that a gay sheriff wouldn't be a big deal. But perhaps this rationale would make more sense to the Mexican audience?
I believe we are in for a real eye-popper when all her dirty laundry is hung out for everyone to see.
There are way too many things which escape even TN conventional wisdom. For starters her willing separation from her daughter, (remember Luci Marta?) and hubba for over a decade.
What TN Mother would in her right mind discourage a daughter from going for a man who realistically has few flaws short of a bit too trusting? We are typically treated to just the opposite.
This emotionally crippling ongoing feud with Bitch2, oops Bitch 3, lost count, has no explanation. If these two hate each other that much she should have found other employment loooong ago. Why she has stayed is beyond comprehension as we see it now.
But then when people move away from their problems they always seem to leave a forwarding address.
I have no idea if that's the way they (supposedly) think, but given the heavy-handed preachy way that gay characters are depicted in TNs, maybe?
Just like a few decades ago, gay actors would be paired off with starlets because the studios thought their leading men's reputations would be ruined if people found out their big secret.
Oooo, careful,Susanlynn: that could turn Gut on! ;D
Julie..your theory as to why Gut is fixated on Marta and Lilian is as good as any I have come up with. Which totals zero. It just does not make sense to me that he keeps hound dogging these two except that he felt Lilian could get him elected.
Anyway, onward, I wonder how Gut plays into all this, his choices in companionship aside. If we have been putting up with him this long I trust that he is saving his energy for something grand shortly. Like busting SkidMark and SkidRow.
And the way Lillian talks to him? YIKES the only way he should San Fran her is if he was sure he could jump up before her and tell her it is the absolute WORST he ever had. :-)
Yeah I could see him with an Erika or Perla but that wrinkled old prune Lillian? Arf !
And, I have to say one more thing about my beloved polyester. Yes, years ago, the fabric was unbearably hot and very unattractive. The poly I wear is light and while not exactly the same quality as silk, airy and comfortable. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I dislike Lili and Brian and to be honest, Marta is in the dog house as far as I'm concerned right now. Her advice to Luci to break up with David wasn't because she (Luci) might get hurt, but that it would hurt Fernanda. This is a real mess and unless Fernanda gets some sort of revelation regarding Luci, I see nothing for Luci but pain. All the way around.
David can force Fernanda to be civil to Luci, but he can never force her to accept her.

Everyone got ahead of me today and so for me, it is Thank you, Cynthia, you always deliver a tasty package wrapped up in snark; Julie, can't wait for your return to the pages of a Caray recap; as for the rest of the comments--ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto.
Especially telling were the comments regarding Marta's overt preference for Fer telling Luci to end it with David as sending the wrong message both to Luci and to Fer. I really can't give Marta any slack now that they are together again. But, when I think about it, she did not raise Luci, doesn't really know who she is or what she went through living close to poverty in Mexico with her dad. We only got vague references that they stayed connected, but could it be that Marta doesn't really know how to parent an adult child. She doesn't really have a handle on Leon either, other than hug him once in awhile.
Please, writers, don't forget about the owner of the bottle of pills. That would be so obvious a route to take, but the poor mother probably had no clue her little darling knew where those pills were kept or what they were for. I do fault them for the alcohol. Fer did it once before, remember?
Loved all the back-and-forth on clunky shoes, Doritos and polyester. I haven't worn heels in decades (and I'd rather be clunky in Marta's to those high-heeled platform cork things Perla and Carito are forced to wear). I'm happily wash 'n wear, especially on trips (but I do wear cotton to work in the yard and generally have to change after a couple of hours in the sun). As for Doritos? Nobody had better put their hands in my bag.
Maybe he's actually intelligent enough to not want a stupid girl like Perla.
But we've seen lots of unreality on these programs and this is not among the most incredible.
Yah, for the love story at least, Marta is definitely a villain -- HEFFA! It must've hurt when Marta asked her, after the verbal and visual assault by DisGracie, to go home.
Please just don't let David falter!
Oh yeah, Fer said that DisGrace picked her up from her friends house.
And I answered my question. Susan and Miguel are going to wait for the truck with the workers to get back. I think Carito is on her way there with the stuff in the grocery bags she's carrying so hopefully Miguel can stop whatever skidmark has planned or see him in the commission of whatever act he's planning. I hope it's not the latter because it seems skidmark is packing heat. Low life bastard!
DisGracie succeeded where Nuria (AQNMD) failed in the murder of her sister. She is somewhat like Rebeca of ECDLP. In the -- we hope -- unlikely event that she gets David to the altar she will seriously try to destroy him. Lillian makes this all about money but DisGracie's ego is always on the line. If she doesn't become David's first and only priority she will go nuclear.
Yes, I think that they should have made Gut a sexy senior silver fox with a couple wrinkles. Fine wine. Then, maybe I could buy this tennis match between Lilian and Marta. And, yeah, what made this stud muffin decide to just stop dating multitudes and settle down with just the two women? #somethingdoesnotmakesense
We know Bobby would hate this. However young he is or is supposed to be he's a lot smarter and more mature than his sister.
Lila - okay, I thought the question was did she say that Grace dropped her off AND picked her up. You are right, though - he is not asking enough questions. I really want them to find the friend's mother's name on the pill bottle, and question the friend.
Please, tn gods, even if David and Luci go on a break, please don't commit the locura of having Grace get even a MOMENT of giving Gracie a chance. Surely the wouldn't do that!
By the way, today, I suddenly remembered a OT that used to be very popular every year here at caraycaray . ....the basketball playoffs. Carlos and Judyb were devoted fans and often talked about the winners and losers the next day here.
Some of you mentioned that I had posted at 2:00 a.m. Well I guess it was 2:00 a.m. on the East Coast, but over where I live on the West Coast, it was only 11:00 p.m. So for me, I got done in time to watch the 11:00 news! Then I was ready to go to bed.
Welcome Julie, I am glad you will be recapping on this team!
As for Fer and how she got to her friend’s house, I don’t think that was ever said. Fer only said that DisGrace picked her up from her friend’s house. In the previous episode, Grace called Fer to find out where she was and asked her where she was. If Grace had taken her over there, Grace wouldn’t have had to ask Fer where she was.
I too, am disappointed with Marta telling Luciana to break up with David over this incident. The child needs therapy because she has a lot of incorrect thinking and a lot of immaturity. She needs help growing up and needs to think for herself and get out from under being influenced by DisGrace.
I have an idea about the pills that Fer took and why they don’t seem to know where the meds came from. In Mexico ALL prescription drugs are OTC, over the counter. No matter what medication it is, you don’t need a prescription and can buy it all over the counter. In the world of telenovelas writing, they probably didn’t think about how in the USA, we need a written prescription from the doctor in order to get any meds. In Mexico, that is not the case. You can go and get as much as you want right off the shelf. My mother used to go buy her sleeping pills from Nogales. My brother still buys a lot of his own meds over in Nogales as well. Even with our co-pays (which have increased dramatically in recent years), meds are still much cheaper in Mexico. So Fer’s friend’s mother can get her “Prozat” in Mexico OTC without a prescription and a personal label taped to the bottle. But certainly not here in the USA, you need a real prescription and have it filled by the pharmacist behind the counter.
If Dim Bulb #almostlostawench would do just that he would catch DG in a baldfce Monster lie. Cell phones not only show when the phone rang, but if you answered and how long the call lasted.
And he would see a call or two where FerZilla answered and the call was from DisGrace and she lied saying that she had not been able to get Fer to answer and didn't know where she was. And DG would not be able to lie out of that one.
#cellphonesdontmakemistakes
But it doesn't make any difference anyway. One of her friends gave them to her and she took them.
My parents were overprotective and they knew who all my friends were. And they disapproved of most of them in one way or another. I'm thinking probably most parents aren't crazy about all of their kids' friends and want to have some idea of who they are. My parents had to drive me to all my friends' houses, so they knew where they all lived, even if they couldn't remember their names!
Cynthia, thanks for the tidbit about the no-prescription thing in Mexico. Otherwise, I would think the omission of an Rx label inexcusable. Yeah, they can get DG to tell them where the house is. I'd love to see Dave read those people the riot act, just because as a parent-aged person I'm horrified by this plot development; but perhaps it really doesn't matter who her stupid friends or their negligent parents are. They are not the problem. Evidence of the problem is on Fer's phone.
Prozac revisited:
It is not pertinent which one gave her the pills. Pick one and blame her, you are guaranteed 50% odds of getting the right girl.
The thing which needs to happen for poor old David #whattheFcouldhappennext is that he discover that DisGrace is still up to her shenanigans, even with one foot and her bags out the front door. He already had an epiphany with NoJuan, and he is beginning to see the things that DG and LBitch are up too. Finding out that DisGrace lied about FerBrat when she (Fer) may have been headed perilously close to a suicide should be the final nail in DG's coffin.
He caught her once before when Luc ratted her out, and she turned on the poor little old me and slithered out of it. She has been unremorsefully chasing him for 16 or 20 years, The majority of that while he was married to her sister. Will he not notice what she is up to until they are in the Social Security line together?? "NUMBER 38, NUMBER 38, WINDOW4." "NUMBER 39, WINDOW 5."
We'll see how their little meeting goes tonight.
So I think we're going to need more nails. It's a big coffin for such a tiny woman because we have to bury her hate with her as well. Not to mention, we've got like 52 episodes to go.
