Mi Marido Tiene Familia # 42,Thursday, October 19, 2017: The First Squall from Hurricane Daphne
Labels: mimarido
(listen to him, Rob!)
Mimarido, you are funny!
My favorite scene tonight was after Juls put the odorous hand lotion on and then there was a closeup of her hands hugging Luz's back. I was waiting for Luz to get comments about the smell for the rest of the day.
The recap was marvelous. "...then wants a dessert to sweeten the sour situation" and "the bed of woes" were excellent.
“When Juls tells her they will marry in in a matter of weeks, Daphne jeers she still has an opportunity”. My, my. To be so young and beautiful. While confidence is usually attractive, brazen boldness is not.
It irked me that silly, self centered, victory at any cost Daphne was the subject of what appears to be Juls and Robert's biggest argument to date.
I wasn't surprised Ben realized what a treasure Dani is, but surprise he declared his love quite quickly after seeing her again. He is rightfully smitten.
I like the two together and I don't want Ben to marry the odious America. But where does that leave Gabi?? For a fleeting moment, I wondered if he and Daphne might get together. He seems to like a challenge and her (likely) scorn and indifference might present a challenge. Gabi has been wonderfully supportive of and protective of Dani. They share a puppy dog romance and attraction, but right now, I'm not convinced it is true love. At least not at this moment.
“Xavi is an artist just as he is a doctor for the rest of his life. He thinks one should practice their talent throughout their lives”. Lest we forget for one moment how much we love Robert.
Why on earth is Bruno still listening to Corny? Idiots. I understood their initial attempts to make Linda “pay” but this has gone way too far. And, “HE then tells CatDQ that when his sock is placed there, he needs some quality time by himself” Oh really? What a spoiled, nasty little boy.
“As they drive along, Ana asks Lazaro to raise the volume; she is listening to a romantic song and thinking about Julián”. What good could possibly come from this unholy alliance? Shiver.
I'm glad Juls is getting excited about the baby and the wedding. So are we.
This was superb RgvChick. Truly. Thank you.

They really went all out in creating an obnoxious female threat for Julieta. "Bob" looked like he wanted to dig a hole and crawl in it. How long will it take until "Bob" understands he cannot be so nice? Gabriel sure had Daphne's number.
Great timing: Roberto deciding to see Xavi just as he is singing: "Soy un aminal en su trampa" (I am an animal in your trap.)
I did like Robert not drinking because he and Julieta were pregnant. That was a nice touch.,
Just a touch self-centered? Linda taking "suffering" selfies and sending them to Bruno. Talk about drama queens . . .
Gabriel was very sweet and protective , although he was snooping, of Daniela when Benjamín came by with his renewed feelings.
Imelda was like a witch and her caipukdron mixing her herbal tea. Imelda also had good advice for Julieta about Roberto being a man.
I also liked Julieta going over to Blanca's looking for some tila tea. It felt very neighborly if not like familial.
Thanks for sharing that Jarifa, I hadn't noticed. I appreciate your always keen eye for details!
Diana
Why is it that telenovela psychologists are often a bit looney, themselves? LOL
OMG, CatDQ gives her pregnant daughter a skin lotion with camphor in it?!?! I recall super scary warnings about this stuff from a couple decades ago, and that pregnant women should NOT use it. I had Google that to be sure I remembered correctly.
The writers must know that, too, or the word “camphor” would not have been mentioned.
Well, Telenovela Rules might require a miscarriage scare, and maybe the hand lotion will be the vehicle, although I doubt that is the medical concern regarding its use.
Bruno’s “sock on the door” was waaay funny. And CatDQ is so clueless. Good thing I wasn’t sipping tea or I might have spit it out! LOL
When Juli asked Blanca for tea, she said she had no "tila" and I cannot find a translation.
Juli & Rob’s bed looks small, like it’s a 3/4 or double bed.
Linda=FFWD--->
Ana=FFWD--->
Thank you, CaliA, Diana, Jarifa, and Doris! It seemed like this was an especially long episode...nothing from the previous episode and no cut scenes!
CaliA, I don't think I've seen you on this patio before, so a big warm welcome to you!
Diana, "It irked me that silly, self centered, victory at any cost Daphne was the subject of what appears to be Juls and Robert's biggest argument to date." Oh my goodness, the girl had no filter whatsoever! She started right away...and what was with her comparing her height to Julieta's?? Was she mocking Julieta just because she was shorter...the difference was not that much. I do have a criticism for Robert, though. He knew from the getgo that Daphne was out of line or he wouldn't have looked so uncomfortable. I thought he defended her waaay too much when he and Julieta were arguing.
Jarifa, "Just a touch self-centered? Linda..." Geez, I think I've said this before but she really should be CatDQ's daughter.
Gabriel impresses me more every time is see him. He has been Dani's galan and protector, but now he is also protecting Julieta. I would really like to know a bit more of his background...he is such a sweet, caring guy...a bit snoopy, but all with good intentions.
Doris, I had done a search for "te de tila" before I recapped and Found a translation of "Linden" tea, but I just did another search and found a different translation tha seems more appropriate, so I'll change that...it's "Lime Blossom"...found it at:
http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/tila
Wow that Daphne has her fangs out. The man is about to be married to the woman carrying his child. Give it up!
I want Dani and Gabi together but I also don't want Ben marrying that horrible woman. Maybe, Dani and Ben need to see that they wouldn't have worked out in order to move on. Dani may always wonder "what if" if she doesn't get him out of her system.
This is at least day 3 of Linda in bed crying and moping. And who takes selfies of their pain and send it to the one that caused it?! Still self centered.
Rob and Juli's fight was the worse I've seen. Juli was like a different person in those scenes. Daphne really got under her skin. Not good for moving forward.
Glad Audi got a job but what will he be doing? Wasn't that Xavi's ex-manager that hired him?
Thanks for the tea translation. I was only looking for "tila" and nothing else, so that is probably why I kept hitting a wall.
It was also nice seeing Julieta starting to treat Blanca and Imelda as friends if not as family yet.
Doris, that was a very interesting comment about camphor.
SpanProf, I'm so glad to see Mari looking happy and motivated. I wonder if she will get special recognition for outstanding sales at Julieta's next presentation...that would be awesome.
CaliA, easy mistake to make on the name :-) hope to see you here often.
And while Marisol seems to sport a new shrug daily, yes, she will definitely need to wear what she tries to sell.
I thought door to door sales went out years before malls fell out of fashion. I remember a few Fulller Brush salesmen going door to door many years ago, but nothing since...
RgvChick, I would love to see Marisol get recognition too! And being purely childish, I'd love her to show up her useless ex Icky and his lowlife lady.
Diana
Marisol could get creative and do CKlass parties kinda like tupperware or Mary Kay...maybe??
CaliA, welcome, if you're new! Always nice to see everyone's comments.
Wow. Daphne is really determined to get Robert isn't she? I felt like Julieta at one point. She's crazy and invasive! I can't believe Robert can't see this woman is trying to yank him away from Julieta. But I also think he's too in love with Julieta to probably see what's going on. He believes Daphne is just Daphne "his sister." I don't think it's clicked to him that she's clearly flirting! I mean I hope it doesn't cause more of a rocky mess. I would like my "Oppas" to be a happy couple ready to get married and have a child. Thank you Daphne for your funny scenes but goodbye.
Diana: I'm not surprised either. Dani is awesome. Who wouldn't like her! And you're right he shouldn't marry America. I thought she was Dani's friend. Hmph, some friend she was. Btw I too thought Gabriel was going to go after Daphne especially after his comments about her, but interestingly enough he chose to protect Julieta instead. And he still could have asked for Daphnes number. He could have tried if he wanted to but I don't think he wanted to. He clearly has someone else in mind.
I love this protective side of Gabriel. ( I would love to know more about his background too RGVChick.) Sure he's a bit strange sometimes and is a little in his head but he's different. He's got a good heart and he thinks of others. He shows he wants to be there for the people he cares about. It's why I believe Dani and Gabriel are perfect for each other. All her life Dani has built this wall around her because she blames herself for the "loss" of her brother. She has a wall to protect herself from her /own family/ who grieves the day she was born. Gabriel has the caring protective side that Dani has been missing her whole life. Meanwhile Dani is showing Gabriel integrity. That he shouldn't be focused on what his father isn't giving him but actually work with what he has and essentially making him a better hardworking man. I know I focus too much on the two but I just love them.
I do believe Ben and Dani will become a thing to close that chapter in both their lives. Neither ever got closure. Plus it would lead to Ben finding someone better than America and Dani + Gabe
Doris: woah I did not know that about the lotion. I'm kind of scared now since they focused on it a lot. Is this like foreshadowing. Or were they really just going for the lotion stinks joke?
I kind of laughed when Linda fainted. Is that bad? I mean of course we know she'll be okay.
The Ana thinking about Julian...UMM...no thanks!!! Nope. No thank you.
I think Marisol would be an excellent manager for Xavi. She is his biggest fan after all. It would make sense.
Can't wait for tonight.

Jackie, your insight on Gabriel and Dani was a joy to read and you seem to have them pegged perfectly...thank you!
"Gabriel has the caring protective side that Dani has been missing her whole life" was right on the mark. My wish is to see a beaming Dani, who has shed her past, let go of her guilt and be madly, happily in love.
I seem to have lost my manners today. Welcome to the patio CaliA! This is a fantastic show and the recappers and commenters equally as fabulous.
Diana
"My wish is to see a beaming Dani, who has shed her past, let go of her guilt and be madly, happily in love."
^^ Me too. I hope it happens soon. She deserves to be happy.
