Caray Caray Awards 2024 starting today!
Hello everyone!!!
Yes, I'm still here! Unfortunately I don't have the time to recap (I'm not even watching a telenovela!) but I'm hanging around and will get back on recapping track ASAP.
Today is a special day because it's Caray Caray's 19th BIRTHDAY! So I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CARAY CARAY! I'm SO grateful for being part of the this wonderful blog with all its amazing people. Recapping is a rewarding experience and this blog has been a "safe place" ever since I joined, with the best people on the internet.
Now, as last year, the Caray Caray Awards are here! The first week is the "clear-up" - where we, well, clear up the gaps and make corrections on the nominees.
This year I have included an extra category because my Receta gang asked for it - the Best Thug (El/La Mejor Matón/tona)! The only one I've included is Rubio from Receta, because I couldn't find any info on the other telenovelas. You can nominate both male and female thugs in the same category. So we have lots of gaps to clear up in that one!
Here are the nominees along with the gaps I have. The rules and eligibility criteria will be the same as last year - they're right below the nominees/gaps.
Anyone who has watched some of this year's telenovelas can vote. I won't be voting for obvious reasons. Note that you'll have to be signed in your email account to avoid double-voting. Your email account will NOT be shown to me. More details below (and next week!).

Kat in SC: Ana was always my personal favorite character in "SED DE VENGANZA" & was the only person I was interested in throughout the entire Telenovela.
Maria Jose Camacho (who portrayed Ana) was also in "DEVUELVEME LA VIDA".
Weirdo: Howdy from the Alamo City & welcome back!
I was going to say what Kat said, I actually stopped watching Sed long before the finally, so I wasn't sure if they tried to redeem Isabella or what, but she was definitely billed as the villain in that show, had killed several people if I remember correctly before I quit watching. I don't think she can be considered a protag.
• Claudia Martín/Daniel Elbittar - Paz Roble Ruiz/Esteban Villa de Cortés in El Amor Invencible
but I think you mean - El amor no Tiene Recta as the title of the novela.
Kat and Darcy, thank you for your corrections! I'll fix Sed up right now in the Docs.
Darcy, whoops, typo! Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix this too.
Mejor Matón is best thug. If we manage to get a minimum of 3 in both Telemundo and Univisión I'll be glad.
Kat in SC: Isabella's character was executed via lethal injection during the Gran Final of "SED DE VENGANZA". Plus, Ana & Joseph were the only ones in attendance, especially Ana, who wanted to make sure Crazy Goldie Locks stayed dead.
