De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #44- Thu 5/8

De que hay opciones, hay opciones

Don't worry about your little wardrobe malfunction, Brigitte.  "I didn't see anything.  I've already forgotten."  She finally stops her relentless and feeble attempt at seduction when Irene and Natalia come back from the copy shop.

Paolo gets the job, to the delight of his new love interest.

Diego complains to the ladies about his crappy severance pay and his plans to sue.  He's planning to use the money to finance the clothing line.  Irene knows exactly what the old goat is up to.  Natalia is alarmed to hear that Diego is going to leave the house…"But what about Diana?"  Natalia…there is such a thing as being too good!

From the kitchen, Irene explains to Alonso that she's going to have dinner with Tad.  He gets whiney.  That is not attractive, Alonso.

Diego's bags are packed.  He's got no intention of living under the same roof as his lyin' grandpa and his cheatin' soon-to-be-ex-wife.  Diana gets tipped off and sends Alina to threaten him.  Diana joins them, whining about not wanting to be locked up.  Diego explains to Vicente it's for the health of the baby.  He calls their bluff and says "Take her if you want to.  I'll figure out how to get my child back."  Diana and Alina head upstairs to pack.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 127 - 5/8/2014 - Laurito Wants To Be The Red Headed Step-Child


Carlota and Montserrat Discuss Laurito’s Daddy Issues

•    Montserrat and Tia Carlotta speak of how Montse has tried to give Laurito a “picture” of his real father, Alejandro. Montse smiles as she remembers Ale changing Lauro’s diapers and holding him, way back in the day. This was, of course, after Ale rejected to kid as the bastard son of Jose Luis Alvarez, but it seems Montse only wants to remember the good times with her MIA husband.
•    Ever since Laurito started school Montserrat has put a picture of Alejandro in Lauro's backpack so his father could be with him all the time. I suspect this is so that if Alejandro makes a miraculous return Laurito will recognize him instantly.
•    Montserrat wants Lauro to always love Alejandro, particularly after Little Lauro becomes Jose Luis’ redheaded stepchild.
•    Carlotta proffers her usual brand of astute Pollyanna analysis. She thinks Lauro and his not-really-dead-dad Ale will always have a special bond.
•    Carlota says that a photo cannot make up for the hands-on love that Little Lauro needs. Montse cannot deny that to the child.

Jose Luis And Basurto Agree To Make a Convicted Felon The New Chief of Police

•    José-Luis concludes his deal with EZ Basurto. JL will be appointed the new Chief of Police in Aguazul. I wonder if he will have to wear that same kind of tacky laminated name badge around his neck that EZ sported when he was on the job? It could wrinkle his stylish new Italian suit. Huh.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #88: 5/8/14: The Commenters Recap

 Hola Amiguis! I am unable to do my  usual Thursday recap because Mr. Mads if having knee surgery at 6:00AM on Friday morning and I couldn't stay up to watch the episode. So I came up with a novel idea. Just as Julie did a whole team recap a couple three weeks ago, I thought I'd do a all commenters recap. This way the commenters can chip in and tell me what you saw. I will be back next Thursday, for my  usual recap. Thank  you so much for helping me out and hey, I have an earworm for you, I couldn't leave you without one ; ) The Best Is Yet To Come!

Hola!  This is my last recap for Por Siempre Mi Amor.  I want to just say that it was a pleasure recapping and I thank everyone for their support even with Univision's scissors.  I want to publicly thank my team, Xintperuvian, CorazonSalvaje, J Desde NYC and Sara for helping hold this novela together when possible and all of the commenters.  Your comments was the motivation that kept us going.

Pobres, 5/7: my first one!

Hi guys! This is my first time watching this show, so please forgive any mistakes I've made!

We open on Wilma and Alejo - Alejo gloats about how his son loves luxury (just like his dad) and will be easily won. Wilma favors a legal battle, but Alejo prefers his current plan.

Lupita attempts to convince MA that she wasn't involved in the hair pulling fight. She wasn't even there. Alibi - she's been with Alejo! He doesn't love that..

Money launderer guy (Adolfo) has made a nice dinner for Vilma. Alejo imperiously demands that Vilma bring him wine. Adolfo helps in a very friendly hands-on way, and Alejo snaps a pic with an evil look on his face and hiding his phone sneakily.

Flashback/dream for the kid of the amazing rich-kid room he'll have with his Dad. He shows off the expensive school photos to tizoc, with some easy commentary on the difference b/w rich and poor. How swiftly the boy has decided to be spoiled and obnoxious.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #126, 5-7-2014: Even blind, I'd know that unfortunate mustache anywhere!

Pedro returns to wreak havoc in Nadia's life; Josefina returns to discombobulate DIM;  Ale's recovery continues, but his desperation grows.


Lo refrito #1:  Gracie gives a performance worthy of a write-in campaign for a nomination as best actress at the TV y Novela Premios as she talks about how sad and lonely she feels over the loss of her children's love.  

Lo refrito #2 Buenos Aires, House of Victor and Nadia:  Pedro can see Nadia; Nadia can't see Pedro; things don't look good.

Lo nuevo
Mansion Mendoza-Basurto, Agua Azul, Mexico:   Gracie continues with her attempt at conciliatory speech-making.  She claims that all she has ever wanted was the best for her family, though she admits that what she thinks they want is not necessarily what they need.  The others seem skeptical, but she is either oblivious or not bothered and goes on anyway. She says she'll do whatever it takes to return to their good graces and that for her their happiness is worth any price:  

If she has to accept that loser ex-marinero José-Luis, she will.  

She also really wants to support DIM in his new relationship with er…. 

"What your name, sweetheart?" Gracie asks Dim's female guest.

"Monica," says Captain Monica Rentería, surprisingly quietly for someone used to giving orders.  (As a military woman, though, she seems to comprehend and accept Gracie's natural authority.)

Por Siempre Mi Amor #110 (Mexico #149)-Wednesday- 5-7-14-A Funeral and A Wedding And A Divorce All In The Same Episode!

As we begin to read this recap- anvils are making rapid descents.

Ara asks a dying Dante- where is her dad?  He was tricked into meeting Feo alone.  Feo will exchange Art for Isa.

Sadly Isa gets into a tugging match with the crazy doctor Skankenstien. The crazy bitch tells Isa to behave or she will kill the baby.  (Isa thought bubbles-  I wish that I knew and realized that hitting someone over the head with a heavy object would knock them out.  I would have knocked out Fernando and this crazy doctor.)

The first anvil of the evening:
Ara insists on getting answers from Dante, who is on his last leg and can barely speak.  Where did Feo take Art?  All Dante can remember is that they were on the highway heading towards Pachuca.  He got shot and Feo kept it moving with Art in the trunk.
I felt bad for Lucha and Gabino who found out at their son Dante's hospital bed, that he took the easy road and didn't listen, he regrets it and was Feo's accomplice.  Feo turned on him and shot him.  He told Ara that on Feo's computer, there is evidence against him, there are videos  can be used as evidence. He tells them that Fernando and Javier are the same person. Snooty Ara says, yea, we know that already.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #43 Wednesday 5/7/14

De que tienen apetito, tienen apetito

Ok folks, the DVR said it was recording, but it's not listed as recorded. I don't know what happened. This is just from crappy notes. There will be lots of holes. Sorry. Maybe later the recording will magically appear. I'm really annoyed. And my wit (such as it is) is gone. The recap is as dry as burnt toast.

El Refrito
Alberto (Albogado) tells Alonso (Al) about Diana's e-mail threatening to get rid of the baby. He asks Alonso for a psychological workup on Diana.

Diego is happy Irene didn't drink. He tells her about Natalia (Nat) and Brigitte (Brat) bringing everything to Nat's house. They talk a little about Diana. Irene starts to quote Alonso and stops herself. She backtracks and says it's something he told her in therapy about some women doing anything to get their way.

Albogado will get the paperwork ready to give to the judge so they can have Diana committed. After Albogado leaves, Alonso asks Eleazar to keep Alonso's relationship with Irene a secret.

Tad is back home. He doesn't want to tell Irene about his health problems. He doesn't want to be a bother.

Lo Nuevo
Irene, Nat and Brat will work at the Garcia departamento until a better location is found. Carmen is lukewarm about the idea.

Albogado and Alonso discuss the Diana conundrum. Her mom is back and surely sees Diana as the poor victim.

Alina (Diana's mom) is still talking to colleague in the field. It bothers her that she's not there. Diana takes offense. Alina asks if she had breakfast. Diana lies and tells her juice, eggs and bread. Diana leaves in a huff.

Irene, Nat and Brat work hard.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #42- Tue 5/6

De que hicieron el amor, hicieron el amor!

Alonso went to the bar to pick up Irene!  She didn't drink!  She's amazed Alonso still believes in her.  Well, of course she is, because her dad's a total tool!

Eleazar tries to find out why Chato has shown up all of a sudden, and what he was doing while he was away.  Chato doesn't mention his "problem," but he talks about how it would be impossible not to love Lupita and that he's had other women (yeah, right) but none as great as Carmen and he never should have left her.  He realizes it's time to pick Lupita up from school.  This is not going to go well.

Padre Juancho thinks Diana's threats are empty.  Natalia knows that even if she leaves Diego alone, he's still determined to get a divorce and no one's going to be able to convince Diana that it's NOT because of Natalia.  And if she tells Diego, then he'll confront Diana and she'll make good on her threat.  Natalia begs  Padre Juancho to go talk to her.  He grudgingly agrees, and I do not blame him for wanting nothing to do with that hot mess!  But, if he can't talk some sense into her, he thinks she needs to tell Diego.  In other words, just go tell him and save Padre Juancho the trip.  Seriously, Natalia…I thought you liked Padre Juancho.

RECAP BY CORAON SALVAJE:


(T'is my final PSMA recap. I will miss my team, Tofie's lists and the novela! On with the show!)

fART has put the pedal to to the metal and is on the phone with FeVer. He tells him to not even think of laying a finger on Isabel and that's when FeVer begins to push fART's berkserk button 'til it's stuck. (He gets to the point where he even says Isabel could be excepting a FeVer baby.) FeVer says if he wants to see Isa again, to take a detour and come alone (I guess you know what that means.)

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 125. 05/06/14.

The first couple of minutes did not record. Please fill in what I  missed.


Huckalious Ale is slowly crawling out of bed. He falls gracefully to the floor, pulls himself up and decided to do squats on the side of the bed. Nothing like being in a coma for 7 years and suddenly decide to work out.

Vic is outside the room and asks the nurse where he can get a cup of joe.  The nurse drops her tray of meds and Ale takes the opportunity to make his escape. He stumbles to the elevator unnoticed. He bypasses Vic who is trying to figure out out how to get a cup of joe out of the vending machine. He runs out of the hospital confused at his surroundings.

Vic returns to the room to find Ale gone.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #41- Fri 5/5

De que eres un monstruo, eres un monstruo!

Andres offers to leave, since Diego's there acting like a jerk, and he does leave, effectively stranding Natalia.  Who turns on Diego, asking him where the hell he gets off doubting her or assuming that SHE needs someone else to console herself with while he deals with his WIFE.  And here she is being so understanding and this is how he behaves?  His excuse is that he loves her so much that he gets jealous and he promises never to do it again.  Natalia tells him not to promise, but she's ready to brush off his little bout of cavemanitis.  They go up to his office for the papers the needed.

Alonso is wondering if Irene even read his email…or cares.  He turns down Karina when she calls, then gets annoyed with himself for waiting for Irene to call.  He leaves his apartment just as Irene does call, and she tells herself it's better that way.

Chato is continuing to try to charm Lupita by reading The Three Little Pigs, but he gets sad that she's not listening and starts changing to story, talking about how the wolf was his mother's least favorite and was adopted by a band of hyenas.  Lupita knows that's not how it goes and takes over storytelling duties, with Chato providing sound effects.  As the dramatic music swells, Carmen looks in and the Post-it of Doom tells us Chato has completed Task #2.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #108 (Mex #147) 5/5/14 Dr. Skankenstein is BSC, Dafne is Busted and fArt *Finally* Gets a Clue

Well here we are in the final week of this TN and still so much to resolve! Will the writers be able to bring this to a satisfying conclusion? We'll know on Friday. For now I want to say Thank You to all of you who have been with us on this very frustrating journey. Thanks to my fellow recappers: Corazon Salvaje, Tablet Jefe, J Desde NYC and Sara who have done a great job! Thanks also the commenters who have responded to our work and given us much humor and great insights into the characters. (Tofie your lists have been da bomb!) Many times I have enjoyed the conversations in the comments more than this novela which Univision did its best to sabotage. This was my first time recapping and I enjoyed it. I learned so much and I hope to do it again sometime in the fall. My final picture for Por Siempre Mi Amor is this:
 

We finally know why Arturo is sooo stupid.
On to the recap!
 
As Isabel runs toward the house she sees Marcela (aka Dr. Skankenstein) coming down the stairs. Isabel leaps toward Dr. Skankenstein and lands a stinging slap to her face. Isabel never should have trusted her. She can't believe her lies, that she's after her husband. Marcela calls Isabel loca. Isabel yells, "The crazy one is you, Marcela!"  Marcela says Arturo hates Isabel now. "You're dead to him! You don't exist!" Isabel tries to get past Marcela to the house. They scuffle. Marcela hits Isabel with her medical case. The thump is so loud I have to wonder if she's carrying bricks in there. Isabel falls to the ground unconscious. Marcela takes a syringe and a vial from her bag and shoots Isabel with a sedative. This is daylight and out in the open in front of a house full of people. Why doesn't anyone hear the screaming or see what's happening here?

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/5/14 (#85): Taste and the Tasteless

Ana Sofia (AS) gets to her friend Chabelita's hacienda (it looks VERY familiar) and tells the loan shark to wait outside. This does not discourage him in the least.

At home, after school, Lupe introduces Emiliano to his father. Alejo (Ahole) puts on an impressive display. Emiliano maintains a poker face. Lupita's face is moist.

Ahole has a gift for Emiliano. He hugs the overwhelmed boy and pressures Lupe about the name change. While the grownups step outside to talk, Emil looks really pleased with his gift but I don't think we see what it is. Or maybe he's just happy that he thinks he won't have to sneak around any more.

Lupe warns Ahole not to take advantage of Emiliano. She'll be watching him, and he'd better be careful.

At the Cafe Popular, Mini comments on Miguel Angelo (MA)'s non-designer clothing. Mini says she's found no evidence to help him yet, but she happens to know that Ahole has a son! Mini is personally offended that he went and had a kid with someone behind her back. The tramp's name is Menchaca, she says. MA doesn't try very hard to look surprised. She tries to find out who he's been seeing. He tells her they'd better not keep meeting if she's hoping to get back with him. He especially doesn't want her to make Ahole suspicious. Most of all, he really values their new "friendship"!

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 5/5/14 #124



Chapter 124: Return From the Ashes

Pedro Medina's Office: Governor Medina spoke in very clipped tones with Carlos Torres, the man who had snapped the photo of Nadia at the concert. He was staring at the picture while demanding every piece of information available on the woman in the photo. Almost anyone could tell he was a pressure cooker with a loose lid.


Monserrat Mendoza's Home: Monserrat allowed José Luis to introduce himself to young Lauro. She had never talked about him with her son, only of Angélica. She had told her son that Angélica was watching him from Heaven along with his father and grandfather. She watched as José Luis told the boy he was his godfather, husband to his deceased godmother, Angélica. The boy had a problem with his toy cars and José Luis handled the situation like a pro, as though he had children of his own. Something life had stolen from him until that moment. Over the next few days he played with Lauro under the watchful eyes of the boy's mother and grandmother at the beach, in the garden, in front of the TV, other places. Rosario (who still missed her own son) was concerned at first, but soon saw that José Luis was in fact becoming the father figure her grandson had missed since before he even knew he needed one. When he carried the sleeping child into the house and helped put him to bed he could not help thinking about what he wanted this to mean. He was so sincere that one morning Rosario said to her daughter-in-law that she should move on with her life. She would help because she wanted to see her happy. They embraced, each hoping she was making the right decision.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 123: 5/2/14: Memories and Premonitions!

Ahoy, Mi Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend and am now recovering. If I miss anything or need a correction please let me know. We still have the same distubrance in the force, namely Peddy of course, but there is a sliver of hope on the horizon and well, you'll see what I mean. I am starting with the usual earworm for you to enjoy as you read this recap. This one is dedicated to Monse and JL. Try To Love Again

Shall we begin? I am briefly going over that last scene where Monse feels Ale is gone now for the last seven years and Rosy isn't accepting it, pobrecita! After all the poor woman's finace, the love of her life was brutally murdered by Don Benny, she went to the prison for 30 years for a that crime which she didn't commit and had just come to know her son, she has lost so much. Monse understands this grief and hands her the cell phone for her to look at the last words of her son Ale, Monse says she will talk to her manana and gives her a kiss and hug goodnight. Rosy watches the video and cries and kisses that cell phone.

Dimi and Monica have spent the night together, and he actually looks happy having done this, but maybe a mite guilty? Monica stirs and smiles. What does Dimi do? He covers her and goes! It's not nice to do this Dimi, jus' sayin'! Monica wakes to find Dimi gone. She gets up and finds a piece of chocolate the Ferrara Roche wrapped in gold type, her car keys and a note. What does the note say? Far as I could tell he told her he was sorry he had to go, he did bring her car for her, it's outside so she can get back to her place and he'll see her Lunes at work. Hmmmmmm.....
