Caray, Caray!

Love the title, Doris, but don't forget the also relevant "the babies on the bus go Wah Wah Wah".

I loved your whole paragraph about Julian and his hospital gown. He really is a good looking guy and I'd like to see him as a good guy, so I can get my drool on. But, that won't happen with this character. I especially loved how you referred to him as a "what" before crossing it out.

The Turquoise House of Nightmares, Drugs, Poison and Skankiness is perfect!

Although I haven't watched yet, just going by your thorough recap, my guess is that the recording between Julian and Alba means that Alba will strongly encourage Natalia to tell her dad todo.

Thanks again!


 

Thanks Doris. You made it bearable.
The sleazes are still in Charge. Well
What else is new?

Everybody is just messed up on this show. He managed to stop the weird
Wedding. And now they are back with each other together again. For how long this time? Whatever.

After all this mess Is over everyone
Will end up with who or whatever they
Are suppose to be with. In the mean time we have this hot mess to deal with.

Thanks Doris
 

Dear Doris—
Sorry to hear about your lost document and that you had to write the episode twice. The second go around was very entertaining.

The only scene you left out which only set us up for tomorrow was the brunette with the smoldering eyes and little lost lamb look walking up just as Gael was leaving the office on a pressing matter. She flicked her sad story and her hair and her eyes and he swept her right back into the office to “help.”

Ok, now to the meat of the episode:
1) I read the front page before watching, so I was on the lookout for the dress Nat was wearing. It looked like something someone would wear to Beach Week in Miami.
2) The Law—In Mexican telenovelas, a birth father’s rights in regard to adoption is whatever the writers decide it to be.
3) Step-fathers—At least Gabe is taller than Pedro when he becomes his step-father (and it looks like Julieta is serious about Gabe).
4) Skirt chaser—or skirt chastened. Will Gael become too distracted to handle Alba’s case or not? Franco had better keep his eyes on the case.
5) Gotcha, almost — What’s good for the gander is good for the goose, or sth like that.
6) The dead came back to life too quickly, no? Doris and RLO my thoughts exactly. Julian is quite attractive as a newly minted Lazarus. Too bad he’s a skunk in this tale. BTW, I noticed his tightly-blackies, too.
7) The No-Tell Hotel was really Val’s parents’ country place. She was the one Yoo-hoo in from the porch. Nat had been there when she went to “get over” Paolo after she dumped him, way back when. It just reminded me how she was drowning her sorrows in Margaritas and pool time when Pao arrived. YAWN is right. Who cares?
8) Mau must have a case of the sniffles. He was en ausencia today.
 

BlueLass, I didn't see The episode of 4/21/20. So I just read your recap.
Girl that was so funny.

All these crazy wonky people. And the
Wedding from hell that never happened.
And Paolo crawling and crying, future
Daddy inlaw Franco pulling him out of there. Future Mom inlaw from hell, and
Dead lookin groom guy. I wonder how hard it was, if it was,for the actor that's playing Julian not just to start crackin up laughing. Especially when Paolo comes crawling in the room.

And another thing, how did the wheel come off the wheelchair? This a crazy
Show and I think the actors had a lot
Of fun making it. I may go back and check that epi later.

Thanks for the fun recap on 4/21/20
BLUE LASS.
 

Great stuff, Doris.

We're hitting the pre-finale doldrums now and the storm will begin shortly. I will post the Karmageddon discussion this weekend.

I find it remarkable that Roberta waited this long to tell Julián that they would be implicated as accomplices if Natalia tells the truth. The question will be whether he will be afraid even to rat her out to Franco.

Alba, don't try to talk Bianca out of this. Motherhood is not for everyone.

Natalia, why didn't you just text him? And what did you think will happen when he learns the truth? If only you were as persistent at getting a career.

Julieta, you have fallen into the pit.

Pedro, see a school counselor. You are dealing with too much and at the same time.

Julián, you are not ready to leave the hospital.

Paolo, at least you won't be living with your toxic mother.

Tizzy, you will be Roberta's next victim.

Natalia, tell your father now. Julián might kill you to save himself.

Manuel, Katia is bad news. You deserve better/

Natalia, you blew it. Valentina is a traitor.

Gael, you just fell into a trap

Alba, this is the dumbest thing you have ever done. You just painted a target on yourself.

Natalia, at this point you would be better off faking your death and getting out of the country.

Alba, you just cooked your own goose.
 

ANITA - that was a conscious decision to ignore the Gael On the Street scene with the hot potential client because the writers had Bianca witness the whole thing from half a block away, misinterpret, and look disgusted. It just made me mad at the writers, so my money is in that was a red herring...

URBAN -
"I find it remarkable that Roberta waited this long to tell Julián that they would be implicated as accomplices if Natalia tells the truth."
ITA, and even more remarkable because Julián has the law degree, and he had to have at least Criminal Law 101 as a requirement for graduation.

The only good thing about yesterday's episode was Paolo did not cry(!), which shows just how pathetic this telenovela has become on the home stretch. 😜

 

Doris, thanks so much for preprocessing this sack of mixed nuts. I thought the level of lively detail was perfect, and I was happily able to FF through most of the dialog while remaining alert for the gratuitous underpants and Natalia's wackaloon dress. What has she ever done to the wardrobe department? What has she ever done, period?

I am as usual of one mind with RlaO: "The Turquoise House of Nightmares, Drugs, Poison and Skankiness" IS perfect -- and probably what they should have called this show to begin with. Although that would have cheated anyone who has "character says name of show" on their bingo card.

Speaking of which, Card 8 is now really close to blackout with the achievement of DERAILED WEDDING. Onward!
 

P.S. Pedro Moreno (Julian) was a good guy in UFCS (Enzo), and in the gran final he dressed up in some tighty-leopardies and did some kind of Tarzan thing that impressed the ladies on the patio very much.
 

Doris, thank you for going above and beyond to give us a recap of this sea of troubles. It feels like the movie " Ground Hog Day"..Deja vue all over again ..which is pretty much how my life feels right now.

Did Julieta ever hear about Maryann Letourneau ? Things did not work out that well for her. Are there laws against women carrying on with teenage boys in Mexico? Having taught IN a senior high, I saw the opposite happening ..male teachers dating and( one even marrying )students but never the other way around and male students do try to flirt with their female teachers. ..who usually give them detention hall.
 

More about that dress Natalia wore yesterday --- it was a visual version of the "scriiiiiich!" of a needle scratching on a vinyl record because she had been wearing that lovely white Chanel type jacket in the previous handful of episodes. Just did not compute. But then her sprayed-on skin tight white "wedding-that-wasn't" dress was pretty awful, too. Maybe the Chanel jacket was the outlier.
 

Susanlynn - I remember that case. It was all over the news. Ew. Some people have no sense of propriety nor self control. Ack.
 

DORIS...Seriously under the weather here. Had an emergency tooth extraction yesterday after two rounds of antibiotics failed to make a dent in the infection. Believe me, you do not want to be conscious during that. If you ever have it get "twilight sleep".
Anyway had to sleep (not sleep) sitting up last night with an ice pack and am not up to writing down all your clever lines. BUT I LOVED EVERY HILARIOUS WORD OF YOUR RECAP. YOU ROCK LADY!
 

(((judyb))) I am sending you lots of love and good vibrations))))))))) Rest and take care.
 

Oh,and here's another little tidbit from yesteday's epi: remember when Katia moved on so fast from Paolo after the accident? It was Emanuel the whole time. Yuck. Way to be supportive of your supposed friend, dude.
 

Blue Lass --- and she's not really all that into Emanuel, either. Just another "ew" scene I ignored. He thinks he loves her. Ugh.
 

JUDY - well at least that tooth is gone and history but I hate all the sipiffering you've gone through with it. Take it easy and take care of yourself. (((Hugs)))
 

.. suffering ... not sure why autocorrect thought It was sipiffering 😠
 

Poor JudyB--When it rains down ailments on you, we pour out our hearts to you. Tienes mucho valor y te admiro mucho (as Franco endlessly tells Alba).

Doris--I thought sipiffering was something you did with a straw when a tooth is missing.

I forgot completely about Katia and Manuel. That's how little I think of them as part of the story. Well, actually all these characters are sort of marginal, going round and round, each spinning around their own little gerbil wheels. They may intersect from time to time, but this story just doesn't hang together.

I've been spying on Te Doy La Vida. It has started out infinitely better than this mess, which is a shame. The premise in this story was so promising and ended up so disappointing.

Stay clean, healthy, safe and hopeful everybody.
 

JudyB so glad the tooth delimma is over for you. I remember sleeping sitting up cause my wisdom teeth were growing in sideways into the others &
There was much swelling, could not close my mouth so I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed, cuz the dentist said the other 3 would do the same thing. I was sleep for all of it. The
Best sleep ever. I feel your pain girl
So glad that is now the pass. I hope it gets better soon. You can really do nothing with a toothache but hurt till you don't, you can't even lay down or
It gets worst so you hurt until the tooth is removed from your body. Hope
You are pain free real real soon.
