I don't think PdG is on the 4th of July. Telemundo typically reruns of its novelas during their first week.I saw part of the second hour of today's episode when I was home for lunch. I will watch the rest before the LT finale.No one has mentioned Unknownnoreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-87881687932677127002008-06-24T07:11:00.003-04:002008-06-24T07:24:49.162-04:00Pasión de Gavilanes, Mon., June 23 - Ruth leaves home, the incompetant assassins fail yet again, Memo gets an unwelcome assignmentGood episode yesterday-Oscar and Jimena are such a cute couple. This endless fooling around might easily be very irritating but they do it so well that it is entertaining.It was funny how in Juan and Oscar's 'serious talk' with Franco, Oscar pretended to be more concerned about having his and Juan's relationships messed up by Franco's romance with Sara than about Franco's feelings.Sarita finally Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-57382383686039245522008-06-17T19:41:00.003-04:002008-06-17T19:45:08.339-04:00Pasión de Gavilanes, Mon. and Tues. June 16 & 17 - Brothers and sisters work togetherMonday’s episode was very sweet.Jimena and Sarita did a good job of sowing doubt in Norma’s mind about Dínora. Fernando helped by getting himself alone with Juan David and then putting clumsy moves on Norma.Los hermanos Reyes were also very good together with Óscar and Franco trying to help Juan and then all of them trying to keep Eva from leaving after Óscar figured out that she was Ruth’s Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-87598736816354484972008-06-14T16:57:00.003-04:002008-06-15T22:27:18.566-04:00Pasión de Gavilanes, Thurs. & Fri., June 12 & 13- Dínorah is having better luck with scheme to get Juan than Armando is with his plans to kill FrancoSorry for the tardy posting. I'm a little behind. Here is some stuff I liked or thought:Juan & Norma: When Juan goes to meet Norma at the Rosales hacienda, I'm just yelling for him not go inside before Norma gets there.

Hot stuff.Eva looked so nice in her evening wear as opposed to the frumpy uniform type outfit she usually wears.The Óscar/Jimena/Leandro carry on was amusing. Leandro looked very nice dressed up in the flamenco outfit.Once again, the hired killers mess up (fortunately).

Then Juan finds his brothers sitting on the stairs of the house when he goes back in. Very cute and funny. In spite of Gabriela's protestations, the baby is baptised with Juan and his brothers present and there is a party at the Reyes hacienda afterwards.

This was a great couple of episodes and I haven't even seen the last 15 minutes.How long was Fernando working at the Hacienda before he caught Norma on her Saturday fence visits with Juan? One day?How many times is Norma going to insist that she can do what she wants - visiting Juan, deciding to name the baby Juan David but refuse to just leave when Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-34723429319747369002008-06-04T14:51:00.003-04:002008-06-04T15:04:53.041-04:00Pasión de Gavilanes, Wed. June 4 - Juan gets to see his baby!I haven't quite seen all of today's episodes but I thought I'd post since the scenes with Norma, Juan and the baby were so cute. I guess the real reason for the fence between the Reyes and Elizondo property was so that Juan and Norma could lean on it. I don't know far it is from the Elizondo house to this fence but it is not that easy to carry a baby in your arms very far. Norma should get one Unknownnoreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-60479140797697064422008-06-03T09:49:00.002-04:002020-01-17T16:10:16.801-05:00Pasión de Gavilanes - June 1 - That baby is 6 months old and doesn't have a name!Well, we certainly moved the plot forward in yesterday's episode.
Norma had her baby. At first, I thought she had given birth to a six-month year old but then it was clarified that time had passed. This baby does not appear to have a name. I assume naming is going to be clarified once Juan finally gets to see his son;

I loved team Juan taking on Malcom and Carmela and coaching Franco how to throw his weight around. I loved Franco's inability to manage without his brothers. I loved Óscar's glee at finally getting the good life. Would he have abandoned Juan if he couldn't have been convinced to live in the Hacienda?

I don't think I've ever seen a worse one: the ghastly bride; the rowdy guests/supermarket employees; the plot device ;-) . The actor who plays Eduvina's doctor is Manrique on La Traición and one of the lawyers was the actor who played Dr. Pedro, also on LT.

Almost everybody's secrets got told today! Poor Juan. He was so desperate to find Norma and so sad when he decided that he had lost her.

May 20: Grabi finds out how the other half live and everybody finds out about Juan and NormaGrabi's reaction to life at the Reyes home and panadería seemed a little overblown. I can think of a lot worse places to live that the relatively roomy and clean Reyes house. A lot of rich people like their offspring to try working so that they can appreciate that they don't have to do it.
