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.

Over to you!

El Mundo de Telemundo, week of 3/12/12: Discuss Amongst Yourselves!

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.

Over to you.
