What can I say? It has the late, great Eduardo Palomo as Juan del Diablo, the fabulous Edith Gonzales as his ladylove, and the younger (and then very sexy) Cesar Evora in a Urban Anthropologisthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18003222420557272302noreply@blogger.com123tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-22640621710047324882014-01-10T20:22:00.000-05:002015-08-04T15:51:35.202-04:00Weekend Discussion: Culture ShockWhat cultural head-scratchers get you every time you watch a novela?

I am doing this recap on the fly, so if I miss something please let me know.
It is unpacking day at the new abode of Lalito and Helena. Pluti is helping and suddenly, Helena's phone rings, and it is, I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count. It is JC of course. He tells her he is at the Minstero Publico, they won't let him go cause he has no i.d. and could she please come Unknownnoreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-27856595655334980292012-12-07T00:26:00.000-05:002020-06-17T20:21:17.310-04:00Por ella soy Eva #99 12/6/12: If You've Had Enough Don't Put Up with His Stuff, Don't You Do It.
We begin with Rebeca bothering the Virgin yet once again. Boy, if HER prayers get answered then I'm a shoe-in.
At the pension, JC and Mimi are doing their Life is the Color of Roses dance. Eva's phone rings persistently while Mimi tries to get JC to respond. It's Adriano and Mimi feels for the love-sick puppy.

We start off with Rebeca bothering the Virgencita (thank you, to Melinama) about giving her “goodies’ to Oneismo (the fool).Helena is in Pluti’s office getting ready to look at his computer for proof, when she gets to a file labeled- Pluti’s Projects.

Helena and Eva come into the "Office of Exploded Good'n'Plenty" to find Rebeca is not fired! She tells them Adri and Pluto begged her on bended knees not to leave, and why? Because her work is invaluable. And she is a victim, blameless. And she's happy to be back embittering their lives.

Eva brings Eugenia home and is scandalized to see Claudia living there.

At his house Pluto is putting the moves hot and heavy on Helena, and the doorbell begins to ring insistently just as he finally has Helena where he wants her.

Hi, everyone, before I forget- Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. I’m taking a needed break from the kitchen to recap.
Rebeca is insulting Renato, calling him a social climber, blah, blah, blah. Renato tells her to get off her high horse because they come from the same neighborhood. She is not better than him. They go back and forth, while Adri comes in.

Adriano and Juan get really smashed together - I bet they did a lot of drinking together like this in the pre-Eva days, and they are starting to seem like drinking buds (rather than awkward ~lovers).

This recap is not in any order. I will try to condense some, and now on to the recap.
We start this epi, with Eva having signed her shares away as a guarantee that when those 100 women are hired back, it will be fiscally viable. They have a big toast of champagne in the office.

The gang is at the big colorful table at Grupo Imperio. Plutarco is shouting that it's impossible and reiterating that the 100 women fired cannot be rehired in a financially sound way.

Rebe and Angelica are spying on Pluto in a fancy restaurant and in comes Helena, she kisses him on the lips!
Helena doesn't want to eat there, she'd rather go walk and talk in the street. Meanwhile Santi calls his wife and wants her home. Rebe is furious to be deserted and says Angie ("you naca") can just take a taxi home. Meanwhile, Helena and Pluto have disappeared.

Rebeca is in Plutarco's office haranguing him again about getting married, and Pluto complains she is acting just like Antonia did. Rebeca reminds him of the incriminating video she has of him and that time is ticking away for him to marry her. Tick tock tick tock, she taunts him.

There is a reprise of Eva, Helena, and Lucia's rendition of Rata de Dos Patas in the elevator.
Toni comes home to Pluto and Rebeca walks in a minute later, to which Pluto remarks, "What a surprise. I was hoping not to see you in this house again." At Rebeca's egging on, Toni asks Pluto why the hotel manager in Playa Majagua says he was there only once when Pluto claims to have been Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25394992.post-30287311286431643292012-09-05T22:46:00.001-04:002015-10-18T18:22:55.583-04:00Por ella soy Eva #36 9/5/12: The Party Episode- The Old Dogs, The Slumber and Beach Parties!Ah, hello all- we start off listening to the old dogs conversations about a party and how there will be plenty of yummy, young girls in attendance.
Helena kisses Lalito goodnight over the telephone. Helena invites Eva to sleep in her large bed, for the impromptu slumber party. I love the" que, que- what?”

Marcela's husband is still sulking, jerk. Marcela tries to explain that adults talk things out. He says he'll get used to her being an executive, but he wants to hear about things first. She says he has a chicken heart and it seems to be a compliment.

Here's a nice break from studying for my GRE: a quick, breezy episode of my new favorite show!
The curtain rises on Eva and Antonia having fun at a club. Pluto's wife is stupidly not flirting with a sweet plus-size dude who dances with her (respectfully) and says more sweet things to her in 45 seconds of screen time than Plutarcho has over the course of their entire marriage.

This recap is not in any order, it is more in storyline order.
We begin tonight with Silvia and the Bastardo bringing Lalito to visit his Mama Helena. She is so very happy to see him. Eva and Pluto have come too, and Lucia is also there. The Bastardo pipes up that the only reason that he brought Lalito to see his Mama is cause Pluto talked him into it. Oh, the horror.

I missed the first few minutes. Why does Univision thinks it's OK to start and end a show 7 minutes earlier than its scheduled time?
Fernando gives Marcela an ultimatum- her family or her job.
Silvia has her and Lalo's bags pack and she's leaving Bastardo. He threatens to have Lalo put in a foster home to coerce Silvia to stay. She tells him he wouldn't do that.

We begin with Pluto offering his” friend’s apartment" to Helena at minimal expense to Helena.
In the hallway - Santiago and Adriano meet up- Adriano asks Santiago to not discuss that they were at the same club last night. Adriano will owe a favor to Santiago. Santiago cashes in his chip- and asks for a loan. Adriano obliges.

I came in here: by accident Mutt calls his fiance Angelica (he has both girls on his screen saver) instead of Paty baby. We need a new Wednesday recapper, Jim can't do it any more.

Mimi is selling Avon at Grupo Imperio. She asks the blue dresses about Adriano. They tell her he's okay, but he's nicer to younger women. She thinks he just hasn't met the likes of her yet! They compliment Mimi on looking good for her age and say Eva is well-preserved.

Helena has just watched the video left to her by Juan Carlos and finally lets her feelings out to Eva. She admits to Eva that she loves Juan Carlos and that if he were alive, she’d let him know it. Tough Helena is quite vulnerable at this point. Eva tries to comfort her and offers friendship and loyalty.

This will be a very Antonia-centric episode, so brace for fat jokes! As things start up in the episode, everyone at G.I. is trying to figure out what to do now that Fernando and Plutarco and Helena aren't at work. Eva is listening sympathetically (but a little grossed out) as Antonia complains about missing her "Plu."

We start this recap with Rebeca in Pluto's office wanting to know why the hey he is helping Helena all the time. She isn't happy.
Meanwhile Eva is in Helena's office and Helena is pithed. Helena doesn't like the intrution of Eva in her personal life, she told her that already. Helena is kind of mean to Eva.

She bumps into Helena the same way s/he did when they first met as man and woman. Mutt and Jeff stare at Eva curiously but "plot armor" preserves her disguise, as it will for months to come.
