Caray, Caray!

Keeping it short and sweet tonight. Feel free to discuss any of the other details you think are important. Just tried to cover all the high points.
 

Thanks, Cynthia, this is great. I love the title. It sure seems like the truth is an inconvenience for one too many at this point.

There were plenty of “ uh oh’s” last night but this one took the cake: It looks like the children/no children conversation was one that Daniela and Gabriel never had before they got married. Really?

At least Blanca and Julieta were told the truth about Canuto. How how long until Imelda deigns to tell the truth to those who really deserve to know: her sons? Imelda is quite stubborn and frustrating.

The Susana/Pancho relationship should prove to be interesting. It will be good to see these characters developed beyond their relationship with the Córcega’s.
 

Thank you, Cynthia.

Uhoh...Blanca and Eugenio aren't sleeping together.

What a tangled web with all these people intertwined.

Do we know if Pablo's wife is dead or if she abandoned her family?

Have a good day all. Rained all last night here.
 

Susanlynn, no, we do not know what happened to Pancho’s wife exactly except she’s not there with them.

We are getting rain today. I was getting spoiled with the perfect weather of the last couple of days.
 

Thank you for your recap, Cynthia!

Imelda just keeps digging her hole bigger and bigger.

So Gabe and Dani never discussed children before marrying? Yikes.
 

Thanks, Cynthia! Short and sweet, but mostly sweet and well done.

Oh, no! Not another erupting baking soda volcano :-)

Wow! Dani and Gabriel are having problems, Robert and Julieta, even Blanca and Eugenio. BTW, it was funny the way Eugenio got happy thinking Blanca had changed her mind and was going to sleep with him. Then just got a goodnight kiss.

The only relationship looking promising at this point is Susana (!) and Pancho, because it looked like Susana wanted to start something. And the two of them are dancing in the credits roll -- with Susana actually smiling! She looks so much better smiling.

Thanks so much Cynthia! I'm always a day behind watching the episode.

Wow Pancho and Susana would make an interesting couple! But she doesn't have time for her son, let alone time to date.

I feel like Dani's first response to anything is "no". I doubt she has really thought thru the whole kids thing. She pushes away at anything conventional but they both miss having Frida.

I watched Wednesdays episode last night and I am even more clueless to Axel's attraction. Gabi had it all over him in the shirtless department, and that is even with Gabi not being as buff this season as last. Oh and the Canuto redemption starts by saving Dave! ugh

So now Juli knows the truth. Can't be long now until the sons know. I dread what is coming for them. Basically, their whole lives have been a lie when it comes to their family. Their perception of their mother is going to be completely turned upside down and how to deal with a father who has been absent for almost 60 years? I don't think it will do anyone any good for the truth to come out now.
 

Cynthia: I will have to read this later but your screen shot brought a lump to my throat.

Very touching.

Looking forward to reading what you have to say...

Thanks, Cynthia! Loved the screenshots, but that first one is priceless!

I know Canuto was completely wrong in not fighting to at least remain in his son's lives, but he is starting to win me over. Just goes to show that it's never too late to make amends, though the road to redemption will be long and hard for both him and Imelda.

Interesting that Susana already knew Pancho. For some reason, I think Pancho's wife must have left him...I don't think she is dead.

I think there are lots of things Dani and Gabe never discussed before getting married. Come to think of it, they didn't date for very long...and they were always at odds even then.

So far the plot lines revolve around--

- Julieta dealing with more of Robert's family.
- "My Three Sons" finding out their father is alive.
- Dani and Gabe adjusting to married life
- Pancho and his mysterious past
- Susana's poor relationship with her sons
- Ari and Temo


 

Cynthia, this was excellent. Marvelous screen shots!

"Dani is aghast!" had me smiling.

"He says, “Yes, leave the light on when you leave.” Frigid.

I respect everyone’s opinion, but opinions vary. It’s so very easy for Canuto to waltz in, decades after his children struggled with adolescence, relationships, trials and tribulations. How easy to reap the benefits of what has been sown. By Imelda. However one might feel about Imelda (and her righteousness grates on me and also feel she is stubborn Jarifa), she has been both mother and father so I understand her anger. Her frustration.

I think Gabe is totally faking the sleepwalking. He's trying to keep things interesting. His talking about the "baby" fed into that. I don't doubt for a moment that Gabe and Dani didn't discuss children. Totally agree this was one topic avoided among many Rgv Chick.

I am Susana (the person, not the character's) biggest cheerleader, but...Pancho?? I don't want to judge prematurely but I'm not impressed. Still don't know what his kids did to win the contest but got a kick out of "Oh, no! Not another erupting baking soda volcano" too Andy.

We've seen too many parents walking away from their children recently and I hope that wasn't the case with Pancho's wife. You can leave your partner but children need not be collateral damage.

Thank you!

Diana, Canuto still grates on me, too, because it all goes back to HIM cheating on Imelda in the first place and not seeking a divorce before marrying Crisanta and forming another family. Now he wants to blow up everyone’s lives because HE wants to make amends and he expects Imelda to be the bigger person and go along with it. He only thinks of himself. If Crisanta finds out I hope she kicks him to the curb.
 

"...it all goes back to HIM cheating on Imelda in the first place and not seeking a divorce before marrying Crisanta and forming another family.

Exactly Jarifa. Thank you for explaining that so eloquently.

Diana
 

So is he not legally married to Crisanta? I just assumed when Imelda kicked him to the curb, they got divorced. But we don't know if Crisanta is who he cheated on Imelda with. We only know he ended up with her. He could have been cheating all around right?

There is no excuse for being absent from your kids for 58 years. They are old men now. They could have died during those intervening years and he never would have known and he didn't care to know. I just can't forgive. This plot is going to drive me bsc! I've got to let it go and stop venting. Sorry patio for my venting!
 

I never have heard Imelda mention anything about a divorce. I just know that she threw him out and told him not to come back around. If they did get a divorce it has not been mentioned.
 

Does anyone know if divorce was available in Mexico in 1960s? I thought that for many years Mexicans were not allowed to get a divorce. It seems to me that I remember that divorce was not an option for couples who wanted to split up.
 

Thanks, Cynthia. Ditto what Diana said about the black & white photo. Gulp. How could a father run out on those three boys?

Guesses about Pancho's wife (who's his second wife, the first one died young): in witness protection? Left for another man? Out somewhere unknown with amnesia?

They're rewriting history because I remember Gabe in Mi Marido happily talking about having ositos.

 

Thanks for all your comments! I'm glad I could capture that photo.
 

Falco

I'm back!

first hour, Falco finally got some sleep, (the bad guy's gas), but I don't think it helped.

second hour, nice intro reminding us of the Falco story.

please don't hurt the Falcomobile (as Kat calls it), too late.

adios skinny doll and chubby bunny (as they called each other in the english captions).

Tenoch, so sad, so sad, so sad.

Eva Salomón, one of the most unique novela characters I have ever met, she referred to Falco and Tenoch, as her friends.

 

sorry,

my comment was meant for the telemundo page, please delete.
