El Mundo de Telemundo: week of July 2- Discuss among yourselves
Happy 4th of July!! Now that Relaciones has ended, Hombre de Misterio is taking a well deserved break until Escobar: El Patrón del Mal starts on July 9. Corazón Valiente continues to hurtle forward with almost as high a body count as some narco-novelas. Now over to you.

El Mundo de Telemundo, Week of June 11, 2012: Discuss Amongst Yourselves
Hi guys! I'm hoping something in the next line-up of shows catches my interest. I really miss your conversation. I tried Ojo por ojo on Mun2 but found it a huge turn-off. Now, as you've noticed, Telemundo has been running teasers for Rosa Diamante. That's one I'd like to take a look at (if they ever air it!). The actor Mauricio Ochmann is getting star billing and I like him a lot. I notice that Sofia Stamatiades (Hilda in La casa de al lado)is in the cast as well. The story must have something compelling, given the number of remakes: Perla Negra aired in Argentina during 1994 and 1995; and in 1998 there appeared both a Mexican version, Perla, and a Brazilian version, Pérola Negra.
Here's your page. Enjoy!

Hi guys! Here's a fresh page for the week's conversation.
Just in case you're interested and you have access to the channel...
MUN2 (or "MunDos"), Telemundo's bilingual baby brother, will be airing Ojo por ojo starting May 21 at 10pm central time. This 2010 Telemundo/RTI Colombia production has been shown in Latin America but this will be its premiere in the United States. The screenplay is based on Laura Restrepo's novel, El leopardo al sol. (Restrepo also wrote the novel on which Flor salvaje was based.) The cast of Ojo por ojo includes Miguel Varoni, Gaby Espino, Gregorio Pernia and Carmen Villalobos. Might be interesting, no?

El Mundo de Telemundo - week of April 9: Discuss among yourselves
Feliz Semana Santa y Pascua por judeos. Maybe it’s sweeps week, too because our novelas seem to be full of action. I will get the ball rolling with Friday’s episode of Corazón Valiente.
CORAZÓN VALIENTE- viérnes
We open with the car that Génesis and Pámela were riding in overturned and in flames. The bad guys who caused the crash don’t get out of their car to check their work.
JM asks Ángela to marry him and to use the familiar tú to him. She can’t believe that this is happening but she points out that she is married. JM replies that he will help her get a divorce. Ángela is also concerned that Luis will try and harm JM but he assures her that won’t happen. They kiss passionately.
The reptile is telling her tale of adolescent woe to Marshall. After recounting her many humiliations by Isabel and her friends, the reptile says that she harbors no resentment. In fact, she is grateful to her tormentors because thanks to them she transformed herself from ugly duckling (patito feo) to the beautiful, desirable woman she is now (not!). Marshall replies that he has his doubts.
Sam confronts Darío about her lost baby. He protests that she couldn’t be a mother at 15. She says that he took her to Mexico almost by force to give birth. Darío replies that she was ill and he was only trying to protect her. Sam denies that. She asserts that he didn’t do it for her. He did it to protect his reputation.
Emma continues to accuse Peralta of trying to rape her. When they hear sirens, Nelly reveals that she called the police.
JM and Ángela are kissing when she sees Luis and Bernardo together on the street. She forces JM to the ground to hide. JM doesn’t want to conceal their relationship but Ángela says that she has to talk to Violeta and Luis first. JM accidentally triggers his car alarm. Luis starts to investigate but he gets a “job completed” call from Fernanda’s hired killers and is distracted.
Bernardo comes into the reptile’s meeting with Marshall and confirms the story of his daughter being ugly as an teenager and says that thanks to him, she is now the beautiful, successful, virtue-filled woman that he sees. Before he leaves, Bernardo whispers in the reptile’s ear that she almost has Marshall in her hands. He leaves and the reptile tells Marshall that if he still has doubts, he should investigate her completely.
The police arrest Peralta and Emma doesn’t recant her accusations.
Willy demands information from Bernardo about the death of his mother. Sol minces in and Bernardo appears to be appreciative of her charms. He also finds out that she is the sister of the murdered Gonzalo. When they’ve gone, Bernardo maintains that Willy’s mother never cared about him or his sister while he Bernardo sacrificed his personal life to be mother and father to his children. Willy isn’t buying, though, and wonders why Bernardo is so nervous if he has nothing to hide.
The reptile is very pleased with herself for having had Génesis killed. She doesn’t want anyone to come between her and JM. Luis reminds her of her promise not to hurt Ángela or Violeta. The reptile replies that but for this promise they would already be dead.
Bernardo tells Fernanda that he is concerned about the police inspector and the fact that Sol is now working at the company. The reptile replies that that crime (killing Gonzalo) was in the past. She has other things on her mind now like what dress to wear to Génesis’ funeral. Bernardo appears to be impactado.
Willy has asked Eugenia, the prosecutor, to come to see him. She asks why. Has he received another threat? Willy flashes back to the letter he received but he says no. He wants Eugenia to use her connections to find out about the death of his mother, which took place in Valle del Bravo in Mexico. She advises him that he needs to go there and she wants to go, too.
Sam asks Darío what he did with the baby and if he has ever felt any remorse for what he did. She has done what he wants by working at his company. She begs him to tell her what he did with the baby so that she can relieve the anguish that has kept her from being happy all these years. Darío remains silent. Sam blackmails him by threatening to tell Perla about his affair with Bernardo’s wife. Darío capitulates and says that he left the baby with the parish priest in Valle del Bravo. [Ok, novela logic would say that we have already seen this missing child, which would mean it would have to be Génesis or Violeta. If she hasn’t seen Willy for 10 years, the kid must be 10 years old - about the same as Violeta and Génesis. But I don’t think it is either of them because first, Sam refers to her “hijo,” her son. Presumably, she was able to see the sex of her baby. Also, Sam has never had any mysterious attachment to either Génesis or Violeta. Generally in novelas, blood calls. So I assume that we are going to have a new child in the novela. We’ll see.]
JM and Ángela go to a hotel room and are just getting down to business when JM gets the call about the car crash.
JM and Ángela go to the crash scene and are told that there were no survivors. Poor JM goes crazy with grief and has to be restrained.
Apparently, Sam has had a private detective working for her to find the baby. She gives him the new information that she has. He can’t go to Mexico for a few days so naturally, Sam says that she is going herself right away.
At the police station, Emma makes a formal complaint against Peralta. Peralta’s parents arrive.
The reptile can’t figure out where Ángela is. Sol tells her that: 1) JM hired her to work at the company and that, in addition, she is living in his house; and 2) JM went off with a woman.
Ángela wanders off from the crash scene. In her mind, she hears Génesis praying to her guardian angel. She calls Génesis and eventually finds her unconscious. [I guess the police couldn’t figure out if there were one or two bodies in the car.]
Bernardo chats up Sol and invites her out for coffee.
I guess Darío is in the aviation business. If we knew that before, I had forgotten. Sam is standing by a plane and Willy comes up to her asking for help to rent a plane.
Peralta is taken to a cell with a big scary guy.
Génesis goes the hospital. Ángela assures JM that Génesis will be fine. Marshall arrives at the hospital and tells JM that the crash wasn’t an accident.
Emma withdraws her accusation against Peralta.
The reptile and Luis arrive at the hospital.
Sam tells Willy that no planes are available. [There are probably 50 places to rent a plane in LA but whatever.] A guy comes in and tells Sam that her plane to go to Mexico will be ready at 7am. Eventually, Willy tells Sam why he is going to Mexico and suggests that they go together. When Perla comes into Sam’s office, Willy asks her to help him convince Sam to take him with her to the Valle del Bravo. “You told him?” asks Perla, jumping to the obvious conclusion. Perla and Sam try to cover up their error and finally Sam agrees to take Willy to Mexico with her. He doesn’t mention Eugenia.
When the police go to the cell to release Peralta, they find him bloody and unconscious.
Bernardo takes Sol to his house and gets her to reveal that her parents hold her responsible for the death of their son, Gonzalo, because she witnessed the murder!
The reptile tells Luis that he has to make sure that Génesis does not leave the hospital alive.
JM and Ángela go to see Génesis. She tells them that she was ejected from the car in the crash and when Pámela didn’t wake up, she crawled away from the car before it exploded. She repeated her prayer until Ángela found her. Then Génesis realizes that she can’t move her legs. Uh oh - that telenovela staple - paralysis! But we all know that it won’t be permanent.

El Mundo de Telemundo: Discuss among yourselves - Week of March 19
!Hola a todos!
I will get the ball rolling with Friday's CORAZÓN VALIENTE episode:
In her confrontation with Isabel, Ángela admits her love for JM. But, she says that she respects marriage vows and she loves Génesis and would not do anything to get JM for herself. Isabel doesn't believe this of course. She tells Ángela that JM will never divorce her because if he does, she will kill herself.
One of the things that Ángela accused Isabel of is that Isabel doesn't care for her own daughter because she never spends any time with her. After the confrontation, Isabel goes to see Génesis (who always seems to be going to bed) and tells her that she loves her in her own way but she can't demonstrate it that much.
When Violeta comes in to see Génesis, Isabel tells her that she can't be friends with Génesis and if she wants to know why, she should see if her mother has the courage to tell her.
Isabel decides that she has to get both Ángela and Renzo out of her house. So when Ángela gets a note to meet JM in the garage at a certain time, we know what is going to happen.
Willy decides that he is going to work at his father's company and his first act is to interview a bevy of voluptuous secretaries while Sam waits outside.
It's Renzo who meets Ángela in the garage and forces her at gunpoint to take off most of her clothes so that they appear to be en flagrant delicto when JM and Isabel come into the garage.
I think Nelly, the maid let it slip to Emma that she knows about Emma's bipolar condition and that she found this out from Pablo.
Perla and Bernardo are having sex when Bernardo collapses.
JM fires Renzo and Ángela.
Fernanda asks why Willy doesn't want to work for their father's company and Willy says that he is not sure his father is really ill.
JM leaves a note and check for Ángela. He will continue to pay for Violeta to go to Génesis' school. When Ángela and Renzo comes downstairs, he hides in the closet. Ángela and Renzo conveniently recap the whole plot - "Why did you hold me at gunpoint and make me take off my clothes?" When Renzo leaves, JM tells Ángela that he heard everything and now he wants the truth about what she saw. Ángela doesn't want to tell him but he says to her, "I have to believe in someone and that someone is you."
Willy asks Sam if it was their sexual encounter at age 15 that made her prefer women over men. Sam says that is true. But when Willy protests that they were only 15 and it was the first time for both of them, Sam confesses that the sex was wonderful. She tells him that her problem is that afterwards he never attempted to contact her.
If Emma believes that Pablo revealed her secret to Nellie, she ought to be mad but instead she tells Pablo how much she respects his discretion and devotion to duty and then she tries to kiss him. He pulls back and says that he can't get involved with a client.
When JM continues to demand that Ángela tell him what she saw, she replies that she wishes she didn't have to hurt him any more.
When Renzo gives Isabel his card and suggests that they get together sometime, she tells him that she isn't interested. She loves her husband.
Willy tells Sam that he wrote and tried to call her many times but heard nothing and concluded that she wasn't interested in him. At first Sam doesn't believe this but Willy convinces her that he is speaking the truth and they wonder which of their parents intercepted all the attempts at communication.
Perla calls the paramedics for Bernardo. His eyes were rolled up but when Perla is looking the other way, he looked normal for a second and I thought he was faking the whole thing.
Isabel calls Bernardo but of course he isn't there and she leaves the world's longest phone message. She says that she got what she wanted but she still isn't happy - no surprise there. Happy isn't in her emotional repertoire.
Fernanda fantasizes about killing Isabel.
If Isabel wasn't happy before, she really isn't happy when JM tells her that he knows about her and Renzo and that this is the end of their marriage. When JM leaves, Isabel is attacked by memories of her abusive mother.
Willy rushes to the hospital when he hears about his father. He is told that Bernardo is in intensive care with a heart attack. [So is this real?] Fernanda calls the hospital and wants to know whether it's worth the trouble of going there - is Bernardo dead already?
Perla tells Sam that she and Bernardo have been lovers for many years. Sam asks if it was Perla who tried to keep her an Willy apart. Perla denies it.
JM tells Isabel that she has to leave the house. He will support her is a luxurious apartment and she can spend all the money she wants but Génesis is staying with him. Isabel refuses to accept that. She says that she will go to court and get custody. Finally, she tells JM about Ángela's confession that she loves JM.

The new novela, Corazon valiente, started strong this week with a fast-moving story and some excellent work by the Telemundo troupe of actors.
Doña Barbara's daytime run is done and now they have replaced it with Más sabe el diablo. I missed that one the first time around and am trying to keep up with it. (But those two-hour time slots are killers.)
Here's your page, my friends. Let's hear what you have to say about your favorites.

El Mundo de Telemundo - Discuss among yourselves: Week of March 5
FLOR SALVAJE: Well, we had the Gran Finale and I think that it was pretty good. As expected, Rafa didn't make it but they avoided novela conventions and didn't have a lengthy death scene. AA deciding to kill himself and Rafa was interesting. AA made a better psychopath than a drug lord. You had to figure Flor would have Rafa's baby - that would be her consolation. I would have liked it better if she had become a famous prostitute after she lost Rafa.
The "where are they now" 10 years later was nice although Zahra and Olga must have portraits getting old in a closet because they looked younger, if anything, than they did 10 years earlier and they were older than everyone else. What happened to Rigoberto?
It's too bad Frigida just disappeared from the story and didn't end up with any punishment for being so horrible. It was also bizarre to see Ana as a happy hausfrau with Titi and grandpa Abelardo but I was right in figuring that Mina wouldn't stick with Mr. Peter for too long.
I guess Mariano just went to prison. He deserved more punishment but he seemed to recognize at the end that his infatuation with Rocío was perverted.
I liked this novela. It was well written and acted and avoided novela clichés. It never got me involved emotionally so that I couldn't wait to see the next episode but neither was I waiting impatiently for it to end.
Looking forward to the start of Corazón Valiente on Tuesday.

¡Hola a todos! Flor Salvaje is now, "Hacia el Gran Final." I still haven't been able to watch any episodes since Tuesday but I checked really quickly this morning to make sure that Enrique hadn't gotten shot. Thanks so much to Novelera for her great recaps of Flor. I've kind of given up on Relaciones Peligrosas but I do read Hombre's excellent recaps and I might jump back in. I can't tell all those kids apart!! Then there's Una Maid. Over to you.
