Caray, Caray!

WOW. Pretty darned nice Delilah. Why can't they end one like this sometimes?

Totally believable, no flying cows, no goats to wrangle, just love, rewards and happiness.


Thanks

Love the part with Luciana taking some time for herself and David had to put forth effort. Thanks Delilah
 

I really liked that, Delilah. I feel we are much kinder to these characters than they are to themselves. (OK, I wasn't very kind to David, but in my defense, I don't like him!)
 

Lovely ending Delilah. Reminds me of the final scenes of French Kiss (a movie I loved)and was a wonderful treat for us hopeless romantics who secretly yearn for a Happy Ending...for everybody, even the dunderheads (ahem...looking at you David)

Now on to read yours, dear Julie.
 

Smush-o-matic! and "Graciela has a spectacular nervous breakdown complete with fire, blood, glass-shattering screeches, and kittens" already had me going but then laughing out loud once I got to the list of Graciela's supposed victims including John Lennon. Very strange feeling to be laughing out loud all by myself in front of the computer. But not unpleasant. Particularly as now I am on my way to a visitation and funeral. I needed an upper.I seem to spend part of every week in God's little waiting room.

You are wicked funny Julie...you made my day.
 

Judyb..yeah, that Julie.

Hey, Julie...how about Jimmy Hoffa?? Was there any involvement in his disappearance?
 

Delilah--
Yes, mam, romping in the fields. If we really and truly believed these two belonged together from the beginning and for'evva, I'd buy your ending in one hot minute. As it is, it only brings up scenes of distasteful kisses, weird hugs, hand melds, basketball hands, and, well one roll in the hay It seemed more like a business appointment--we're going to make great wine together, so let's make love together and see if that enhances the wine.

Julie--
Your ending for this telenovela is incredible. The only thing that I might have modified (for my own benefit) would be for DG to still have the revolver and forces David downstairs to go on with the wedding. There, he refuses and she shoots the judge accidentally and David in the groin region. He is therefore, rendered incapable of reproducing--something we all feared. He could still die of an infection, plague or something else later and then go on with your story of the will etc. You have a great alt ending to a disappointing official ending.
 

Anita..OT...hmmm...regarding the getting shot in the groin..that sounds so familiar...about skewered by a sword ala Black Jack Randall ??? #disjeweled #ow #Doritos
 

Don't be silly, people! Jimmy Hoffa was long gone before Graciela was born.

(Wait. John Lennon might have been gone, too. Never mind.)
 

Delilah and Julie, all I can do is shake my head in admiration.

First, the sweet. Then, the saucy. Both delicious on their own but incredible together.

Delilah, your finale was utterly lovely and romantic. If it had played out as you lovingly wrote, I am confident we would have seen the love and passion that eluded us in the original. “It's named Bodega Luciana, after the woman who opened his heart again and saved him”. This is what many of us had yearned for. And expected. Thank you for putting this vision in our heads. Beautiful Delilah.

Julie, you just blew me away. "Bobby and Fernanda get suspicious that she's not as nice as they had thought" had me laughing out loud. Then, "There, she confesses to everything: not only killing Lisa, Perla, and her own mother, but also David, Juan, John Lennon, and even Laura Palmer" was exceptional! " Luci marries the brewer and they name their kids Sam Adams and Zinfandel". Well, of course they would! Peppered with sarcasm and deliciously served.

What a gifted, gifted group this is.

Many thanks to both of you.

Wow, juls you alright girl? Lol, and who is Laura palmer? Lol, Grace was drowned in the toilet, now that was perfect for her, cuz in every episode her life Was goin down the proverbial Toilet.
And do you know what would have been great? If carita would have been left
The olive grove by way of perla. Juan got it and sneakily put it in her name and case something happened and then she sneakily got a lawyer and Drew up a paper or something and left it to carita, hah.
Sam Adams and Zinfandel(zin for short)
That works. You guys are hilarious.

Delilah that was a beautiful ending, she saved him again because he really did need saving but he didn't get it in this one they gave us. But I liked yours I wish it could have been like that girl.

Thank you both.
 

Laura Palmer was a TV character in the 90s whose murder fueled the plot of the very bizarre series "Twin Peaks." I re-watched the whole thing a few months ago, and it was very nostalgic remembering that time in my life.
 

Bummer, I thought there would be more alternate endings!
 

Julie I loved twin peaks! Are you watching the continuation on showtime???
 

No, but I heard about it. I'll catch it on Hulu or someplace when it eventually shows up.

Never saw Fire Walk with Me either. I didn't like TP as much after the mystery (of Laura Palmer) was solved. The whole "Bob" thing wasn't as interesting to me.
 

Ahhh makes sense. I loved the characters, atmosphere, music and the genre bending drama (much like LDVDEC).

I will admit that it wasnt as interesting or coherent, storywise, once the central mystery was solved but I was all in. Im sad Josie Packard isnt coming back.
 

Julie--Urban asked me to put up another thread for alternate endings, but I was afraid it would stay empty. We'll see what she does when she gets back from the opera.

If anyone wants to craft an alternate ending, post it as a comment and I'll copy it to the front page.

'Cmon, Kirby, wherever you are, give it a try. I'd love to see you do a recap, too. Alfredo needs help on Doble Vida.
 

Delilah, I love your alt ending! It would have been nice if the writer’s would have had the heart and brains to give us a TN with events that would have lead up to an ending like this.

Julie: Ohhhh I would have luuuved to have seen those anvils dropped. What satisfaction!!

I had posted something as a comment before I knew there would be an opportunity for alternate endings…here it is

• Adolfo, Mig, and Luci meet with the very successful bro-and-sis team owners of the restaurants in Spain that will be purchasing the Frontera wine. The bro/sis team happen to have a very available and noble Mom who also attends the meeting. Viewerville sees the intense chemistry between the 3 pairs…

• Wedding day at a church that is technically up-to-date and uses screens to lead the people: Dudvid and Disgrace at the alter---priest is at the part where he asks if there is anyone who knows why these 2 should not marry, yada-yada… (Lila, luved ur idea so I’m borrowing it)—The big screens come on with “Dud-vid, you are a stupid idiot—you are marrying an assassin”…and the video of Perla’s demise plays.

•The video ends and a screenshot of Lisa’s phone comes up with text messages proving that DisGrace was the last one to see Lisa (at the river). Viewerville hears NoJuan’s unforgettable maniacle laugh (softly at first then louder as the camera turns to him up on the balcony). He starts his attack on David, telling him that, not only did DisGrace murder his loyal and loving Perla, but also his (Dudvid’s) wife!!! He goes on to tell him that he will suffer the rest of his life knowing that he allowed himself to be lied to and manipulated by 2 two-faced, lazy ass, back stabbers (2FLABS). He continues to tell him about all the lies, fraud and everything else the two 2FLABS helped him with. He finally ends by telling David that he has committed a lot of crimes, but he will not suffer in jail. He puts a gun to his head and kills himself.

• Dudvid turns to DisGrace and she starts to ramble with desperation and twirling eyes that she did it all for him...she had to eliminate Lisa because she luuuuved him soooo much. As she is going on with her rambling, Viewerville sees to PO-lice walking up the aisle (because NoJuan, with great timing, sent the video and all the evidence to them). The police get to DisGrace, but she struggles, runs backward and trips over the candles…her dress catches on FIRE!!! …and she ends up like Barbara/Rebeca on MEPS!!!

• Ferbrat goes berserk and has to be sedated and taken to a psycho hospital…

One year later…

• Lillian is in jail for fraud.
• Tano and Carito (as a couple, cuz Tano saw no future with Ferbrat) go see Ferbrat at the hospital from which she is being dismissed.
• Dudvid is alone and suffering the fate of his idiocy. He is still running his vineyard with Booby helping out. They await Ferbrat who also will be working at the vineyard.
• Cesar and Soosan married sometime back.
• Since Ramon deserves to be happy, he can have what he has always wanted…Marta…uugghh.
• Sonia has a book signing at LionCubs restaurant.
• DOUBLE WEDDING for Luci/Spain Bro and Migs/Spain Sis. Adolfo and Spain Mom holding hands.
• …and Boobee…since Spain bro is a (for reals) close friend to Cristiano..finally gets to meet his idol.

I'm really going to miss this patio :-(

Anita - not a different thread (I think we have enough) but this one?

Thanks for reposting, RC!
 

Gracias to all who participated and commented. This could become a Caray tradition for future unsatisfactory finales.
 

I like this idea. Though I hope we don't have too many unsatisfactory finales, it was inevitable for VEA.
