Amor Bravío #63 (Uni 58) Tue 11/13/12 Catfight at the Ok Corral; ACME Anvils is hard at work.



Mariano tells Camila about the doctored documents Alonso gave her.  She’s not surprised.  Oh ho!  But that’s not all!  Mariano also tells her that Alonsobusted and Ximena are lovers!!! He recounts how he saw them macking outside of Alonso’s place, (well, actually her place) in town.  He’s sorry to have to be the one to tell her this.  She’s shocked!  He understands her reaction and that’s why he waited to tell her.  She flashes back to that conversation with her loving sis.  Remember the one where Ximena called her a témpano (iceberg) , insufferable and unbearable?  Yeah, that one.  We come back to the present and Camila has an aha moment.  Of course, now she realizes why Ximena defended Alonso so vehemently.  Now she’s angry (yes!) to think they’ve cuckolded her this whole time!  Mariano hopes it wasn’t wrong to tell her. He didn’t feel it was right for them to continue to deceive her.  Camila is soooo grateful to him for opening her eyes to this deception.  He still feels bad for being the bearer of bad news.  She knows he’ll understand that she’s so shocked to learn that her sister, her sister!.......now she realizes they were shagging while he was still living at La Malquerida.  She would expect this of Alonso, but her sister?  To think that the only thing she’s done since she came here was to shack up with her husband?  If her own sister would do this to her, what can she expect from anyone else?  Mariano hugs her and consoles her but she turns away in frustration and anger.

Amores Verdaderos #5 Tue 11/13/12 Praying to Porcelain Gods and Frustrated Hunks


NOTE: I started writing this recap a few days ago, when I wasn't clear on all the characters' names. (And heaven forbid I research that! LOL.) So I gave them all my own descriptive names. Forgive me for calling Big Ed . . . Big Ed. I know his name is Jose Angel. But just this one time I call him Big Ed. LOL.

UPDATE: It's finally done! All screencaps are up.

Amores Verdaderos Cap 5, (Nov 13, 2012)

Big Ed taking a furtive peek at his jefa, reading in her bubblebath. Why, Big Ed! You're a married man!

Big Ed, after jumping out a second story window (Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!) covers for himself by pretending to be doing push-ups.

"Guzmancito" (Francisco Guzman, aka Sebastian Rulli) is singularly unamused by Nicki's snarky and spoiled attitude.

Victoria has a fit about her dad's current lady love. Doesn't want to hear about her. Dad says okay, okay, calm down. She calms down and they chit chat about something else.

Said lady love is hiring a private detective to find out if his former lady love, Candelaria Corona (who predated her) met Vicki's Dad (Anibal), about 40 years ago, she says. Candaleria worked as a nurse at a small village, she and Anibal had an affair, and then she disappeared a few years after that.  Paula (Main Squeeze) wants to know if this woman had a kid. Any guesses on who that kid that might be? LOL. Lady says that her future is at risk here, she needs to know!

Por ella soy Eva #83 11/13/12: Lalo Gets His First Lesson in Villainy. So Does Fer

  • Fer, lazy idiot macho jerk, thinks Rebe lusts after his dirty smelly body. Ha! She doesn't put out for less than a vice president. She proposes a partnership with Fer in a scam against Grupo Imperio. He waffles, but half an hour later, after Rebe says: "your commission will be more than your wife earns," he says ok.

  • Juan wakes up with a gruesome hangover after his tantrum of the previous night. He is not grateful for the breakfast and cheery attitude Mimi provides but sucks down the beer.

    After a product placement for Mimi's Blackberry, Adriano shows up with flowers for Eva. "She'll be spending all day in bed," says Mimi. Adri: "These flowers pale in comparison with the radiance of Eva Maria." However, he notices Mimi is also radiant and notices her perfume is familiar - he was engulfed in it on that Enchanted Night...

    She wants to hear how enchanted that night was. He says it would go down in history. "Every day I love her more, and all because of that night, the best of my life."

  • Awful Claudia stares at a picture of Juan Carlos and asks Eugenia about him. "He was everything." We find out Claudia's brother (they are holding back the grand reveal of his identity) is really an angry guy.

    Modesto says he's sending Claudia back to Carmen but she doesn't want to go. She whines her protest to Eugenia. I would have thrown her out immediately.

    Later Modesto thanks Eugenia for letting Claudia stay. "It's just for a few days. And after all it's not her fault." Modesto goes on and on about how good it is that Eugenia has accepted that JC is dead. Finally she says: "The work of an actress is to make lies seem like the truth."

  • Science Fair. I would like to have heard the kids talk about their fine projects! Helena, Pluto and Silvia notice Lalo looks very sad. He's pouting because the volcano at the next table is better than his - the girl figured out how to make hers explode!

    Pluto asks for a private moment with Lalo and says: "Never let a girl win, take advantage of every opportunity." He has a bad plan. We see he will, given the chance, turn Lalo into a little Brylcreemed villain.

    Helena reminisces about Juan playing with Lalo. Silvia points out he was just trying to get at the computer in his room.

    Pluto got Lalo to steal the fire-maker out of the little girl's volcano. Now Lalo's is great, and the little girl's doesn't work. She cries and runs away. Pluto reassures Lalo it was ok and lies to Helena about it. Lalo is silent.

  • Eva shows up at the science fair, apologising for her impertinent drunken rant of the previous night. She tells Lalo he's "a Mexican Einstein."

    She again asks Helena: "Do you love Don Pluti?" "Uh, yeah, sure, that's why I'm marrying him. Juan did nothing but harm me, my present is Pluto. ... When I was in the hospital I thought I saw Juan, that hallucination really hurt me, it seemed so real."

    "What if I were to tell you that he's alive?" "Even if he came back from his tomb, it would be too late. Never mention him again. And enough already about your dead husband! Enjoy Adriano; the present is all we have."

  • Renato says he's too busy to go to some happening place with Lucia. She whines and nags until he says he'll go for a little while. He gets a mysterious text message.

  • After Lalito wins first prize for his now excellent fire-spouting volcano, everyone cuddles him. He moans to Pluto: "I won by cheating." "This won't be the last time. Sometimes it takes a trick to win. Don't tell anybody - you know how women are." "Mother says one shouldn't cheat." "It's ok. Let this be our first father-and-son secret."

    The teacher wants to talk to Helena, and we think she's going to bust Lalo for his stealing, but no, she just says he's a great kid, recovered from his past glooms.

  • Some guys needle Eva. "What would your girls, your mother, your daughters think if they knew you were acting like this?" She pummels them with her magnificent pocketbook.

  • Helena has found a GIGANTIC new apartment suitable for a millionaire. She's annoyed that Pluto lets the real estate agent think they're married. Helena makes it clear that's not the case.

    She notices Lalo is not as pleased with Pluto as he used to be and was about to ask him about it when Silvia comes to say she'll be leaving when H & P get married. "No, ma, the three of us (you me and Lalo) will always be together."

  • Renato brings Lucia home and wants to leave. She whines, "No, don't leave, have some booze, let's talk?" "What do you want to talk about?" "Now that we're going out, I want to know more about you. What's your mom's name? Who was your last girlfriend?" "I don't live in the past." He bolts, citing family issues.

  • Juan sulks in existential despair and decides the best course of action is to prove to Helena what kind of (rotten) guy Plutarco is.

  • Pluto, after showing us how glad he is to finally get the tiresome mucoso out the door, tries again to persuade Helena not to go back to work. "Haven't you thought then when we're married you'll have lots to do? And now, don't you need time to organize our wedding!?" "I can do it all, and anyway there's plenty of time, we're not getting married tomorrow..."

  • Fer shows up at home in a nutty mood. Marcela is working on her thesis. He apologizes for his bad moods and says everything will go back to normal now. I guess larceny is an aphrodisiac: he grabs her and grins like a lunatic.

Tomorrow: possibly Rebeca will spill a few beans to Helena. Or maybe it's a trampa.

Refugio Para el Amor #152 Tue 11/13/12 Well At Least She Didn't Throw It In His Lap!


Sorry to make light of Lorenzo's scalding rebuke by Roselena, but I once covered a much worse story about a domestic dispute back in the early 70's. An angry woman dumped a pan of boiling water on her husband's lap. And my heartless editor wrote the headline “He's Wearing the Hot Pants Now”. So let's face it, Roselena, heinous and hideous as she is, hasn't done anything we can't read about in the paper any day of the week. Alas.

Now let's backtrack a little and see what led up to Rose's red-hot revenge on Lorenzo. However,I counted 43 scene changes tonight so I'm still going to consolidate scenes to avoid mental whiplash.

Patricio's Anvil-Laden Rehab Plans:

Our episode begins with Max talking to Oscar and the physical therapist about arranging to adapt a vehicle so Patricio can drive it. That's one possible way for our dear Pato to perish. But Aldo and Patricio are also researching other rehab clinics all over the world—Russia, China etc. to see if he can reach his goal of walking again. A goal that he has promised Luciana to achieve. This stated with a yearning look her way. A look she gently turns aside. Another way for Pato to come a-cropper. (O please writers, spare our favorite, will you? I'm willing to sacrifice Boris, by the way.)

Speaking of Boris:

Yep, our relentless stalker is lurking in the foyer of the corporativo again, wanting Jana to clarify their relationship. Because he's called and called her cell and she never answered. That's when Jana realizes she's left her cell at home. While putting off Boris, she frantically finds a land line and calls Mati to have Genero bring her the phone. No dice. He's running errands for Mom. Okay, so hide the phone. Roselena overhears the conversation, quickly finds the cellphone after Mati stuffs it in a drawer and makes her nefarious plans.

When Jana later comes home and neither she nor Mati can find the cellphone , Rose coolly listens while they both haplessly lie. See, Mom, the frantic rummaging is because I've lost my blue mascara. And? Well, I'm going out to meet Lulu...to talk about Boris!...and want to give myself a little manita de gato (freshening up) before the date.

 Mom sends Mati off for some other mascara, slips out the door, locks Jana in and leaves to take her place at the café.( I guess if there were a fire, little Jana would have to perish and mom would say “Serves you right!”) These various scenes do give us an interesting insight on the family portraits. The photo of Roselena with her sons is in the main living room. The photo of Max with his daughter is in Jana's bedroom. A photo of the whole family together? If it exists, we haven't seen it. More later.

Amores Verdaderos #4 Mon 11/12/12 Code names: Athena, Zeus and Aphrodite

I can’t help but Salserito reminds me of the one and only Agent Smith.


* The very first meeting of Nikki and Franisco is splendid. Not. Guzmán is annoyed by the little brat who acts like he was dirt on the bottom of her shoes, and Nikki is even more annoyed by the hunkalicious guy who dares backtalk her and calls her a niña (little girl). A niña! However, as soon as Blondie’s out of the room, a nervous little smile appears on her face.

Amor Bravío #62 (Uni 57) Mon 11/12/12




Capitulo 62: The Night Has a Thousand Eyes

Viewer Discretion is Advised.  The author recommends that viewers make certain the door to the vomitorium is wide open and a path cleared toward it.

Lo del pasado

Alonssso gets back on the phone to Leoncerdo to send him after Andres once again. Leoncerdo appears to have the sense to be afraid of El Diablo (but lacks the knowledge of sophisticated phones).

Lo de nuevo

Hostal de Amanda:    Aaron updates Andres over the exchange with Francisco about the power of attorney. Andres decides to inform Becerrra about this. Aaron tells him he will await his instructions and expresses his sympathy over the mala suerte Andres has to have a father like Francisco. Andres has no illusions about all this. He decides to take advantage over the differences El Diablo and Hissadora are having and use that in their favour.

Ximeana's Room:   She calls Bruno to tell him she has his money.  She can't wait to get this over with, tossing the cell phone on the bed in disgust.

Por ella soy Eva #82 11/12/12


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).

They're hanging out with a remarkably-less-drunk Helena and Plutarco. Eva/Juan is not so pleased about the engagement, of course, and has something to say about it: "I must express my fillings or I will asphyxiate!" However, she's super drunk, and her speech comes off almost congratulatory. Helena lets her know that she's had too much: "le subieron las copas!" That's for sure!

Eva stumbles out. Mad Dad frowns and comments on the social acceptability of sloppy-drunk chicks: "a man drunk, meh, that can pass, but a woman? That's a deplorable spectacle."

Adri gets to take Eva home in his fancy car, and as they say goodbye, he tries to get his hands on her. But doesn't get very far. "You don't know what kind of woman I am." How true.


He keeps trying, though, and Eva gives him a good-natured but significant punch in the gut... It's all very cute, but Juan is clearly looking for an out (even as Adri keeps trying to get him/her back in the car).


Modesto's awful whiny daughter is pitching a fit about her room. Gawd, her forehead-braids are almost as bad as her attitude. Later, on the phone, she plots with her mom, and promises to be a little spy.

Mad Dad advises Pluto (orders him, really), to :maintain a strong hand with my daughter." Then he turns around and lets his poor wife know that he was always in love with her and other mushy things. Her: "Really? Then why the shouting and the evilness? Why are you nicer to dogs than you are to me?" Him: "Because I love you so much." Me (and her): "uhh what?" Her: "know what? I just want to forget about you." Yay!

At long last, with Mimi's help, Juan gets a smashed Adri to putter off in the convertible. Juan is really a wreck right now.

Pluto is now pushing Helena to move in with him TONIGHT.

Drunk Juan has come to a really bad place. "I'm a cockroach, a rat on two legs. God is punishing me." He looks even more pathetic in his half-Eva mode. "WHO AM I???!!?!? soy Eva Maria leon jaramillo, viuda de Zuloaga." Ugh. He gets a flashback to the proposal and smashes Mimi's mirror with a giant tacon. He gets even more pathetic and self-loathing.

Fortunately, Helena doesn't look that happy either, and contemplates the engagement ring. She doesn't quite know what's wrong, as she still claims that she thinks marrying Pluto would be the best decision of her life. She congratulates her mom on being strong with Bad Dad...Then she puts the ring on.

Juan: "I hate Eva - she kept me away from Helena." He looks terrible. He should do what I do when I'm too drunk to thing straight: eat some cake and go to bed. It bugs me that Mimi does so much for him and he never does anything for her.

I guess he finally does go to bed, because he has a dream about marrying Helena (funny that in the dream, he still uses the Argentinian accent).

Pluto shows his safe full of $3,000,000 bucks to his photo of Eva and practices looking like a ridiculously smug bastard.

Refugio Para el Amor #151 Mon 11/12/12 Looking for the Light at the End of the Tunnel; Things Still Look Pretty Grim


Roselena, that BITCH, has just called Luci up in Het Het to rile her up by telling her Rod has most likely found her little boy, but declined to tell Luci about it. She begs Luci not to tell Rod that she’s the one who spilled the frijoles. She’s doing this because she doesn’t feel it’s fair that Luci is the only one who’s gotten the blame for LOSING her son (BITCH!).  She just can’t imagine how Luci can go to bed at night not knowing if her son is alive and well. Oh no, Luci doesn’t deserve that. (BITCH, BITCH, BITCH!) Luci says that although she can’t remember what happened that night, she’d rather be dead than have lost her son.
R: I know Luciana, and you don’t know how sorry I am (that you DIDN’T die).  You must be suffering a living death (muerta en vida).

Luci agrees that this is exactly how she feels, but she won’t give up looking for her son, until her last moment of her life. Paz, not liking the sound of this morbid conversation, comes up quietly behind Luci. Rosa pledges her support and promises to help look for her grandson. (Your recapper is really getting sick of this hypocritical conversation.) Rosa finally twists the knife a little more by mentioning that Claudio is in on hiding the big news from Luci too. He went to the clinic with Rod when he did the DNA test, doncha know?  They just want to surprise her. Remember, not a word that I’m the one who told you.

Once they hang up, Luci turns to Paz and predictably blows her top about being kept in the dark.  Rosa gloats that Rod’s lack of faith in Luci has once again separated him from her. (BITCH!)

Max arrives home and shares a mutual enablers’ moment with Mati. They are both worried about Rosa, who Mati thinks is worse than ever. Max tenderly touches Mati’s cheek and agrees that Rosa is not well at all. (What’s new?)

The Little Princess of the Dungeon in the Sky greets her papa when he arrives home.  She ate all her lunch today and it was delicious! (No more liver!) She even ate her veggies. This poor child is really deprived of familial attention because she thinks the visit of her grandmother was an exciting thing. Rod asks why grandma came. Gala swoops out of her bedroom to dish out her daily dose of trauma to her little daughter. She tells Alexia, in the most salacious way possible, that her Papi has another child with a woman who is NOT her Mommy.  Rod shoots up from the couch like he’s about to slap the grin off her wide grill.

Amores Verdaderos #3 Fri 11/9/12 Two Hawt Guys Have An Eventful Day; The Brat Is Back; Who Is Really Running The Beatdowns?

Our Two Hawt Guys have an Eventful Day; There are some secrets revealed; The Bratty Girl is back; And we in Viewerville find out who is behind the beatdowns of the Balverneras, how you ask, please read on!

The Refried:

Victoria picking up Anibal, her Papa, at the airport and they are going to the house in the D.F.

The New:

El Banco:

Jose Angel is finding out the letter he got that said his loan was caught up/paid off is a fake. The loan number and the file number are not in the computer's files at the bank. Come to find out, all the money Jose Angel sent to a lawyer to catch up the loan was never paid to the bank. In other words, if he doesn't come up with the money, in about a week, his ranchero will be put on the auction block. Jose Angel is wayyyy pithed and raises his voice so loud, the security officers come up to the desk where he is but he calms down, and the lady tells him to find that lawyer, get a receipt for the money that was paid toward the loan, and everything will be honkey dorey. Jose will do this right now! He leaves and wishes them a good day.

Lawyer's Office:

Jose Angel has tracked down this crooked lawyer and is wanting to see him and is confronted by a secretary, and I use the term loosely here, cause she is stuffin' her face, talking on the phone with an amiga, sipping soda thru a straw and totally ignoring our teddy bear of an Angel, who I am sad to say, is loaded for bear. That secretary ignores him so much, he hangs up the phone for her and demands to see that lawyer. The secretary finally tells him, very snottily I might add, that the lawyer isn't there, won't be back till six! Six, our wonderful Angel says, yeah six, he'll be back.

Amor Bravío #61 (Uni 56) Fri 11/9/12 It’s Five Card Draw So Ante Up: Team Dio Forces the Bet; Team Isadora Bets Blind; Team Daniel Bluffs and Francisco Folds

[Seems like it was time to shuffle the deck chairs on Dionisio's Titanic Turistico and lots of things happened. -- ed.] 

capítulo 61

Lo del Pasado:
Daniel and Amanda pay a visit to Licenciado Becerra.  They give him the 411 on Dan’s true identity; meanwhile, Dionicio pays a visit to Rafael and Viviana to confront them about hiding DDA there and his (Aaron’s) supposedly claiming to be Vivi’s live-in lover; Ximena also pays a visit to Alonso to blackmail him over Team Dio’s tourist development plans, saying she wants a cut and that their romantic relationship has to be made public.

Lo del Nuevo:
Rafa and Viv ask Dio what his interest is in whether they are in on something with DDA or not.  Dio’s now married to Agustina, he informs them, and as such, Camila is now “part of his family.”  Viv says that’s nice but it still doesn’t mean he’s become her guardian.  Well, let’s just say, threatens Dio, that if they want to stay friends with Camila, and they want to help Daniel “the same as I do,” then they’ll tell Daniel to stop with those little games of his and meet him there at the same time and day as agreed to in that e-mail!!  As a show of good faith he calls off his watchdogs that have been following their every move 24/7.

Refugio Para el Amor #150 Fri 11/9/12 it is always worse when a secret is held for too long to avoid someone pain

Refrito:

Repeat of Rod telling Gala that they will know if Pablo is his kid via a DNA test. Gala quite concerned… Rod comes out of kitchen with the dreaded liver and veg puree dish and asks Gala why they have not thrown that out. Gala tells him she is waiting for Alexia to eat it… Rod mad, gets silverware and sits Gala forcefully on table in front of plate. ‘You teach by example!! You will eat this and you will not get up from table until you eat it!!’

Luci and Pato at Het Het… Luci thanks Pato for being there, feels like she met him today. Pato says I am the thankful one to life for having you near me, for you who gave me back my will to live from the moment you walked in my house.  Luci says she would like to have at least some of his strength, his will to live, his joy… to help her overcome the pain that is with her every second of her life, as long as she does not have her child with her, she has no reason to live. Pato gets scared at hearing her speak like that. Luci says it is such an emptiness, she asks God not to let her wake the next day. Pato begs her not to even think that. He says these tests/challenges God only gives the strong ones like Rod and her. Only the strong in spirit can handle it. Luci says the strong as you. Your faith never leaves you. She leans down on table and he leans his head on hers. (wonderful scene by two young but extremely talented actors)


Lo Nuevo:

Paz, Magda and Ariche arrive, they will eat a bunch of reheated leftovers (descarrile as Luci’s dad used to say)

Back to Rod fighting with Gala to eat… Alexia comes out due to the shouting and asks her dad not to talk like that to her mom (we can see Gala smirk satisfaction at this)… Alexia asks Rod not to give liver to Gala, it tastes nasty, ‘guacala!!’
Rod grabs her on his shoulder and calms down instantly. Tells her her mom won’t eat it and neither will you, you will not be forced to eat what you don’t like. Rod takes Alexia away. Frigida comes out of kitchen, asks Gala if she can pick up table. Gala leaves after calling her ‘estupida’. Frigida mumbles thru teeth ‘now you know how it feels’.

Rod brings Alexia to her room, changes the subject and asks what she did with Janah, Aldo and Melissa… Alexia is excited to tell him everything…
R: Did you miss me?
A: Yes! Very much!!
R: really? Me too. Come here (hugs).

At TL manor, Max has told RE about the DNA test Rod will take for Pablo… RE obviously refuses.. and expects Max to prevent it. Max says this time Rod and Claudio really think this kid could be his son. Max goes away to change, RE mumbles it can’t be.

At CHelo’s…
C: My Mateo.. if you were that child that has caused that family so much pain… if you were well born, what need would you have to be needy at my side? … this medal is pretty nice… yes, son, you are well born, but you are not the child of those people. They have been years looking for their kid… and you… you were left in the trash. Someone evil wanted you to disappear. What harm could a child like you do to anyone, you are a blessing.  No, Mateo, I will not leave you for anything in the world. You are my son and I am your father … nuff said.

At Het Het Pato is really enjoying the feast on reheated leftovers… Ariche asks Luci about Claudio, Luci says no he is not coming. Will call him tomorrow to see if there are any news. Pato asks if she misses the ‘pace’ of the city. Luci says no. Magda says maybe she misses the traffic. Ariche says she must be missing ‘el mushashon!’. Luci, Pato and Paz all put on a ‘ phewy! Meal is spoiled!’ look.

At the unhappy suite in penthouse…
Rod goes to Gala’s room to bark at Gala for what she was trying to do with Alexia. Gala tries to call it ‘teaching’, discipline… Rod says baloney, her education has been done by her nanny and Frigida, you are the one who stays away all the time. Gala tries to sell it as if she is finally trying to spend the time to pay attention to Alexia. Rod warns her he can’t take her right to educate her child, but he certainly will not allow her to hurt Alexia. Gala claims she would never hurt Alexia. Rod won’t buy what she is selling. Gets rough with her arms again:  ‘you are talking to me, and I know you well’. If you are going to spend little time with her, let it be quality/positive time. ‘Sure, whatever you say dear.’

At TL manor, RE is barking at Janah… she can’t believe she told the priest that she gave up on a ‘good prospect’ for a miserly ‘taquero’.  RE tells Janah that she will be six feet under before she allows Janah to get together with loser. Also tells Janah that she went to look for Lorenzo and threatened him (because warnings don’t work with them) that she would do anything to protect her children…RE says Janah is ‘a nina’ and does not see the evil in men.. (how old is Janah again? 7?), that Lore will just get what he wants with her and then abandon her. RE does not want to harm her or Lore. Don’t disobey me! (RE leaves, Janah stays there very worried)

Oscar and Connie have made it to a restaurant, Oscar is asking Connie why she keeps inviting him to the ‘family events’. Tu gente es mas rara que un perro verde! (your folks are stranger than green dog!)
Connie agrees it was an awkward moment, RE should have backed up her daughter in front of Bore-us and his parents, and THEN  ‘discuss’ with her later on. Oscar says ‘you will never see that… but I am with you 100%, if you don’t want to invite your sister to the wedding’.  ‘what wedding?’ ‘our wedding!’ ‘ what are you talking about?’ ‘I am thinking to invite your children to eat, you think they will agree?’ ‘sure, what are we celebrating?’ ‘nothing, I think I should be building a relationship with them, right? I am in love with a woman with baggage, everytime you see them or talk to them your face lights up, and that makes me very very happy.’ ‘you are right, so sweet!.’

Following day. RE is at TL offices asking Rod about the DNA test. And is faking being hopeful that child is his son. Have to tell Luci. I can call her myself. Rod says don’t want to raise her false hopes… asks her to let him do things as he wants. Depending on the dna test, he will tell everyone.  RE is really loony, wants to hug him to congrat him and wish that child is his… (during hug, with a bit of brow lift, we can really tell her true wish)

At Het Het, Pato tells Luci he had been thinking at the hotel and is returning to the city. He came to have a meeting with the mountain. Was angry, resentful, hurt inside. Already faced that and now want to attack it again. I will walk again and will climb it again. I am all decided. He assures her he will walk again.

At his place, Don Aq is buiding himself a 3 pound taco with all types of pork stuff (the last thing you want in your diet when you are trying to get over a gout burst). Procopio comes in and shouts to him ‘what are you trying to do? That is poison for you! Are you committing suicide?? No one dies in this town, but I don’t want you to be the first!’ Don Aq just waves him away and keeps on eating.

At vecindad, Selene and Vio are talking about the ‘bomboncito’ guy who showed up at the car wash… Vio is not ready to take chances with  a guy again. Fabi comes in and teases Vio again. Then asks her to be careful. Vio assures him she learned her lessons.

At Het Het Pato says his goodbyes… Rod calls him, Pato tells him he is heading back. Want to continue the therapy, have a commitment to come back to fulfill. (of course Rod puts a sad/concerned face, thinking the ‘commitment’ is about Luci).  Pato tells Rod he will witness the commitment he made. Rod asks what does Luci say. Pato says Luci is the happiest of the bunch. (poor deflated mushashon is almost wordless)

Oscar is in a hurry, is introducing the justice of peace to Aldo and Melissa. Connie is very pretty. He asks Connie if she is up for a civil marriage ceremony for dinner?’. Connie is totally surprised but not in a bad way. Oscar wants her children to be the witnesses.  Aldo is like ‘wth’ like he came to the wrong party. Melissa is like ‘wth’ but in a good way.  Connie thinks the surprise is wonderful. Melissa wishes them all the happiness… Aldo piggy-backs her wishes… alright we are ready licenciado.

At Het Het, Procopio has run to get the priest to help him with Aquiles. He has come to the priest since the priest would not hold grudges against Aquiles.

RE has gone to see Gala. Alexia comes running to greet her ‘abuela RE’. RE asks Alexia about how she is doing in school but two seconds into Alexia’s response, Gala cuts her off and sends her to her room…
RE tells Gala that Rod is getting the DNA test with the child today. And if that child turns out to be his child, all ‘our’ efforts to disappear that kid will go down the drain… Gala agrees but wants to take the conversation on outside, so they both head out. Frigida opens the door and is smirking ‘so!... that is what you two are up to!’..

Rod and Pablo do their dna sampling via saliva…

Out on the street Mateo is selling his papers in between the lanes in a high traffic road. Rod wants to stop to say hi but the traffic behind him honks and urges him to move on…
But it was long enough for Mateo to see him and realize what happened…

At the unhappy pent house… Alexia is trying to put makeup on Frigida to take her ‘grumpy looking expression’ out of her face, Frigida says ‘what do you want? My parents made me that way..’ (when Frigida looks at her self in the mirror… OMG!!! LOL!)

Connie and Oscar are celebrating with Aldo and Melissa going to dinner (steak and veggies, yum!!) Connie wants to go to the salon to get herself look very pretty for hubby.
Aldo and Melissa discuss if they have been in love before… Aldo realizes Melissa is in love, and says ‘that is an epidemic!! I will pass, thank you!!’.. they all toast to happiness.

Janah stops by Lorenzo’s taco stand by her house… they have a bit awkward greeting…
Lorenzo says they have things to talk about. Janah more than willing to talk ‘ahorita’. Lore say no way, want to take her to a nicer place, now am working… I know of a café where they always have fresh warm bread… Tomorrow at 7 ok? Sure! Ok, will send you the address to your cell phone.  (they kiss on cheek goodbye, see you tomorrow…)

At the salon (with Vicky, of course, Aldo invites Vicky to dinner, Vicky accepts, Aldo leaves), Connie tells Vicky she has no problem with Vicky’s history with… you know who.. that is why she keeps coming. Vicky congratulates her on her wedding to Oscar. Today she wants ‘the works’. Vicky happy to oblige. Vicky texts Max. thanks but no thanks. Max mad, is sitting in front of Oscar at office, Oscar asks all well? Sure, all well.
Max congratulates Oscar on the wedding. You know Connie and I, unplanned surprises. Max is sad commenting his life is full of surprises, but rather terrible moments. Oscar suggests he go travel with RE… Max says their marriage is long worn out, love is gone.
Connie asks Vicky how she has been since her dad’s death. Vicky says good… every night I pray for him to keep me safe… and when I get home I thank him. I remember him most when Mr Campos visits me… who is that Mr Campos? … a friend of my dad’s, they were friends since before I was born. He is like my second dad. (I wonder how good Connie’s memory is and if she can connect  the name to Claudio’s trial, then again she wasn’t there… it would mean anything to her, but perhaps to Melissa it would… hmmm!)

At TL manor, RE barks at Mati. Mati comments she is trying to get used to the silence at the house. Miss the noise of the children, the big parties… RE barges that the next celebration was Janah and Bore-us wedding but thanks to that ‘taquero’ it won’t be!

At TL offices, Max, Rod, Claudio and Oscar again comment DNA test and the decision not to tell Luci about it … Max does not let Claudio forget the child is also ‘mi nieto’ (how old is Max? 15?)… Oscar rolls his eyes, Claudio and Rod just stare at Max like don’t go there…

At Het Het Luci is working in a very big very pretty pot… very detailed the paint design.
Paz is complimenting her on it. Ariche won’t go without a bit compliment to his pigs…
Procopio comes in, asking for help from Magda for convincing Don Aq to take care of himself. He is there eating all things pork. Magda says for me, he can eat all of Miss Piggy… she will throw a party when he dies… Luci feels more charitable. Paz already sent the garlic remedy of her great grandmother (this is why Aquiles felt good enough to get up and eat his heart out). Paz reprimends Magda on keeping all that resentment/rancor inside. Luci tells Procopio to tell Aquiles Luci sends a message to take care of himself, that she wants to see him walking through town again… Procopio says Don Aq will be very happy with that message, he might even turn vegetarian!! (LOL!)

At TL manor, RE calls Selena at TL office to ask her for Luci’s phone number at Het Het.
Pato greets Mati at his return… Mati tells him the news about Janah saying no to Bore-us… Pato celebrates that… That’s my sister!! … Mati tells him RE is worse than ever, she seems to change moods by the second, is acting very strange… when she prays at the chapel, she screams sometimes begging, sometimes angry, hurtful. Pato wants to rest some before going to see RE.

At Het Het, Magda asks Luci what if you had fallen in love with Pato instead of Rod? Luci says she loves Rod, even if she realized Paz is right, Pato also has ‘feelings’ for her. But the love of my life is my ‘Mushashon’. Phone rings. It is RE … to give her the ‘good news’. Rod asked her not to tell Luci anything… but it seems Claudio and Rod found the baby you lost!!.

Previews: RE smiles satisfied… Luci calls Claudio, she is hopeful, he is concerned.
RE tells the family (Max, Rod, Pato) that she wants to go to the shelter to meet the kid…
Gala tells Julie if she was capable of putting the baby in trash 5 yrs ago, she is now willing to put him down the sewer!!
And we have a finale date!! Dec 3rd!! ( in 4 weeks!! but it will be pre-empted several times by then, for latin grammys and possibly during thanksgiving week)

Por ella soy Eva #81 11/9/12: Rebe Has a New Plan; Eva Is A Closet Lush, At Least That is What Everyone Thinks




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. Pluti also invited everyone to his house for the remodeling that he did, after Antonia died, sort of like a second housewarming. Eva is trying to get out of it, but when she finds out Helena is going, she is going too.

JC is back as himself with Mimi and Mimi wants to know if it was wise of JC to sign those shares away the way he did, he could get in some more trouble, well JC tells her it is the best thing he could have done, to make sort of restitution for having those 100 women fired in the first place after all Antonia always wanted to hire them back too, and it is sort of a way to honor her memory.

Helena receives some nice flowers from Pluti and is very emotional. She tells Silvia every day she is more convinced that Pluti is the love/man of her life. Run Helena run, por favor!

Onesimo and Pluti are meeting at Pluti's I think and he is telling Onesimo, finally, he will get his hands on those shares of Antonia's that should have been his. He will have a plan to get those shares and when those 100 women come back to work, he will find a way to get rid of them too! As Pluti is talkin' about this he is caressing the jar of Antonia's ashes and he has the evil shit eating grin on his face. Note to Pluti: Hope that lovely Antonia haunts you foreva, jus' sayin'.

Weekend Discussion: Villains; They Who Make Our Flesh Crawl


Dirty Dozen # 5 The Sleazebags

These are the evil men who are not accepted in polite society.  They mostly lack the social skills and the minimally acceptable-to-excellent appearance of their higher-born and higher-educated brethren in evil.  They normally cannot enter parlours or drawing rooms.  They usually dress badly, are often less than hygienic, and usually have no family ties or any other kind other than to their paymasters who are usually the mastermind villains.  They happily do all the low-level tasks the others are unwilling to do as long as they are paid for it.  They sometimes initiate evil acts of their own, but frequently they aren't clever enough to always assess risk vs. reward.  They are usually expendable once their dirty work is done, but sometimes clever enough to outwit their masters.

Who is the most evil of them all?

Amor Bravío #60 (Uni 55) Thu 11/8/12 Amor Revelado


Pablo hangs out at the hospital in Zacatecas.  He decides to try calling Luzma at La Malquerida.  She answers the phone, and he makes like Stevie Wonder…"I just called to say I love you!"  Luzma is glad he's far away.  Pablo says he misses her, but Luzma lies and says she wants nothing more to do with him.  Pablo's not buying it, but Luzma insists she's already over him.  She hangs up the phone on a hurt, confused Pablo.

Dio gets into his marital bedroom and snaps at Agustina not to ask him questions, damnit!  He wants some alone time, but Agustina wants to talk.  She says it's best he hear this ASAP, "Camila doesn’t want us to live here.  She'd rather we live at your place and you're not going to have a say in anything to do with the house or the ranch."  Dio asks what she wants and Augie wants to stay, but she doesn't want Cam being rude to Dio.  He tells her not to worry about him.  They'll stay because she wants to.  "Don't worry about Camila either.  I'll gain her affection, acceptance, and trust little by little."  Augie wants him to read in bed, but Dio would rather read elsewhere and menacingly asks her if that's clear.  Yeah, Augie, is it at all clear what kind of jackass you married?

Camila is sad that they're stuck with Dionisio.  She tells D'Andres that Osvaldo the lawyer is also worried about Dio and wants to talk to Camila about it in person.  D'Andres tells her to remain calm until she talks to Osvaldo.  Camila wishes that Daniel would show up already so she could just hand over the ranch to him and she and D'Andres could get the hell out of there.  That's going to be difficult.  Their impending nookie is interrupted by Isadora's entrance.

Por ella soy Eva #80 11/8/12: No, My First Name Ain't Baby, It's Eva; Ms Jaramillo if You're Nasty.



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.  Eva has a proposal, and after she's done reading it she demands to know what people think.  Everyone looks uncomfortable except Adriano who continues to look rapt at Eva's every word; she blows him a kiss.  Pluto says there is no financial guarantee to back this proposal, and Eva says that the shares in the company that her beloved Antonia left her, she will put them up as backing.  Adriano thinks this is all swell.  Pluto gets up to follow up on this, and Rebeca says everybody hold on.  She has something to say that affects everyone that works at GI.  Pluto and Eva each look nervous because Rebeca has the lowdown on each of them.

Eugenia is talking to her doctor who thinks she's doing much better.  He asks if she still believes her son is alive and she tells him no, like are you crazy?

Mimi is talking to her nephew in the pension, and she vacillates between happiness at her night of love with Adriano and sadness at the fact that he wasn't making love to her.  Her nephew questions this, and she tells him that it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

Just as Rebeca is ready to tell all, Adriano interrupts to say that he and Eva will be getting married.  He thanks Rebeca for her aphrodisiac advice last night and she, looking confused, stutters "Are you saying something happened?"  Eva pretends to be embarrassed and Adriano pretends to be subtle, but both basically confirm that yes, they finally did the deed.  Everyone is shouting "Vivan los novios!" and Eva scolds them "Don't throw rice!"  Rebeca storms over to Eva, calling her Juan Carlos, ripping open her shirt, and OMG there are real breasts under there.  Eva runs from the room while Adriano yells at Rebeca for offending his honey.  Pluto gets in some digs, too.  Rebeca is fired.  But wait.  This was all Rebeca's daydream and she reconsiders that maybe spilling the beans isn't such a good idea.  So she merely congratulates the two of them on their engagement.

After the big announcement, in his office Adriano continues to try to steal kisses from Eva who pinches his lips together.  Eva tells him there will be no sex, no touching, and no kisses.  She feels impure after last night's lovemaking and calls to the heavens that "I am yours, Christ."  Adri protests that what they did was completely natural, but Eva says there will be no more of that until a priest gives them the benediction.

Amores Verdaderos #2 Thu 11/8/12 A Tale Of Two Hawt Guys and Their Problems; One Gets a Job Offer

Our two hawt guys, that would be Jose Angel and Francisco of course, are having a myriad of problems. Jose Angel's house might be going into foreclosure and Francisco is having a hard time finding a job. What went on with our hawt guys last night you ask? Read on to find out!

Hacienda Balvanera:

It is the aftermath of the attack on Victoria, she won't let Jose Angel go. She is clinging to him like a sweater with static cling, until the Nanna comes out. I am calling her the Nanna, cause later she calls Victoria, mi nina. The Nana asks if everyone is ok? I have to say here, where was she during the screaming and yelling, fighting, etc ? Must have been watching her telenovela, lol. Anyhoo, Jose Angel tells her to call the popos and an ambulance. While she goes to do that, Jose Angel gets Victoria to sit down, as she cries, and he tells her to remain calm it is better for her. He goes to leave, but she doesn't want him to go. He just wants to go check on the people that were hurt. He wants her to trust him. He goes as she watches him. Now she picks up her cell phone!!!! It was right there on the table, couldn't she have picked it up and called the popos herself? Guess not. Instead she calls Nelson and tells him a group of men got into the hacienda and tried to kill her, as she is crying like crazy. Meantime, the bad guys, with their injured team member, are making their escape in that black SUV they came in on. One of them kicks the security guy for good measure. Seeing the coast is clear Jose Angel unties the gatekeeper and tries to revive him.

Meta Imagen Internacional

Salsero, our resident bad guy, is talking to the photographer, Aldo, and they are waiting for Nelson. Nelson comes in to cancel the shoot, somethings come up. Nelson says something is up with his wife, very upset when she called, is taking his daughter and is on the way back to the hacienda. Salsero and Kendra so not happy, awww their mis planes went awry!

Amor Bravío #59 (Uni 54) Wed 11/7/12 "As the Screws Turn"


We begin our capitulo, with viewerville in  post-election hangover, in need of poll free night and a review of Monday’s scenes.  Mariano and Ana are in the hospital planning moves for both the marbles and herself, back to El Rancho Albarran.  Mariano, clearly smitten with his little Ana Angel is told to concentrate on the game or he is going to lose (Pablo tells him the same later on in regard to his unrequited love for Camila).

Flashback to a field at Malquerida and Rodolfo and Nat are strolling in a field chatting about her “business dinner and meeting” at Rancho Albarran the previous night.  Rodolfo has set her up to embellish her description of the evening and then turns the screw and asks why she is lying to him and to her mother.  Tripped up, but quick to recover, Nat tells him she owes him no explanation of her private whereabouts and whomevers.  He turns the screw tighter asking about her decision to be his novia… she declines the offer for any novio at this time… he presses onward asking if it is just him she is rejecting…. she says “Ya, basta, no novio, punto!!”  She walks off  (we people who wear wedgy shoes wonder how Nat strolls away in an uneven cowpatch cleanly and without tripping).

Amores Verdaderos #1 Wed 11/7/12 Steven Seagal called, he wants his career back


* Our newest Nicandro Díaz circus starts on a beautiful field with an aikido class for kids. While José Ángel Arriaga (Big Ed Yáñez) is channeling his inner Seagal, struggling and trying not to fall on the other master he’s practicing with, Viewerville is also struggling… with an urge to laugh. But we must admit: all men look hot in a hakama.

* In the meantime a big fashion commercial is in the making at the beautiful (though a little bit too rosy) Hacienda Balvanera. Victoria Balvanera (Erika Buenfil), the owner of the advertising agency is directing the dozens of models, cameramen, assistants and other crew members who are circulating around the swimming pool. She’s in her element but her face lights up even more when she notices the helicopter that carries her husband Nelson Brizz (Guillermo Capetillo) back from a business trip in Brazil. Victoria is delighted at the thought that their family will be together again.

Refugio Para el Amor #148 Wed 11/7/12 Rosa Rages, Lovers Kiss and Anvils Align and Prepare to Fall

Recap by Decie Girl, who makes her CarayCaray recapping debut tonight.

EL REFRITO
The assembled guests and victim are gathered together and Rosa says that the protocols have been observed as God ordered and tells Bore-us’ padre to go ahead. The man says that for many years Bore-us has been sincerely in love with Jana and asks that the Torreslandas give her hand in marriage to their son.  Jana, battling panic and after having been pulled and pushed like a slab of salt water taffy snaps and says no, I’m not going to marry Bore-us.

LO NUEVO
Jana  bravely defies Rosa and says I’m not going to marry Bore-us. The assembled guests freeze and those in the know wait for Rosa’s expected explosion.  Bore-us leaps into the silence calling Jana-- Flaquita, which annoys her so much she snaps don’t call me Flaquita. My name is Jana. Rosa tells Jana she is ridiculous and demands to know what this is all about.  Jana who has stiffened her spine tells her I don’t want what you want mama. I love you more than anyone in the world but you can’t live your life again through mine. This does not go down well and Rosa tells her if you don’t marry Bore-us, I swear you will be sorry.

Lorenzo talks on the phone to Luci. She tells him she understands so much. He is really down and she suggests he come to the pueblo, he can be with her, amah, Magda and Ariche. They can help. She knows how he feels; it is the same way with her and Rod. He wants to know if she has been able to forget even a little and she tells him no not for one second. Lorenzo tells her it is the same for him and he can’t get Jana out of his mind or his heart. Now he is going to have to learn to live without half of his heart.

Back at the engagement dinner from hell, Max tells Jana you are putting us all in an uncomfortable position. The reason for this dinner was to ask for your hand. Rod says Papa I think Bore-us and his parents should listen to what my sister has to say. Conny starts to say I’m sure it’s uncomfortable, but before she can go on Rosa snarls at her not to interfere. When and if someone asks for Melissa’s hand then she can say something. Not to be outdone Gagme pipes up that it is healthy for Jana to tell the truth before an important step like marriage because after you get married it is very difficult to discuss these things and shoots Rod a toothy smile, isn’t it my love. He just adds very difficult.

In Het Het Paz questions Luci, what happened?  Why is she so sad after talking to Lorenzo? Luci tells her she doesn’t like it that Lorenzo is suffering. Lorenzo is suffering but why, what is wrong?  Is it Jana? Luci tells her yes he is lost in love her. Paz says poor Lorenzo perhaps it's better to shed tears now rather than later what with all that the Señora Torreslanda is capable of doing.  Magda says she agrees with Paz. That Lorenzo is a good boy, a good worker and honest. He deserves someone to love and care for. Paz says he shouldn’t be looking so high. Look at the suffering he found. Luci says what she most wants is that he doesn’t suffer like me. Magda says the Torreslandas and Jacintos are like oil and water. They never mix, they always end up separated. They are never together.

At the dinner Rosa says it’s just nerves for all of us, the emotion of the moment. Bore-us’ madre agrees that it is just nerves, right princesa? Bore-us’ padre says yes it is just nerves that made you say you won’t get married. Bore-us says, you never said anything when I asked you to marry me. Jana answers that she did say yes but she wasn’t convinced. Jana goes on, indicating Bore-us and Rosa, you two decided everything for me without giving me the opportunity to make my own decisions, without knowing what I really want. Where does it stop? I don’t know what I want for the rest of my life. Rosa says a good marriage is the only thing for the rest of your life. Rod steps in and says let Jana say what she feels. Jana continues, you mama, you set the date for my wedding without asking me, you planned this dinner.  Jana tells Bore-us you decided we would get married without knowing if I wanted to be a professional and now your parents are deciding where we are going to live. Everything is prepared for a wedding I do not want.

Jana isn't finished yet and yells at her mother, this dress you bought me is the same as yours. Why?  Because you liked it. You’re living again through me.  She ends her tirade telling her mother my feelings aren’t important. Señora Bore-us says she has had enough of this but Bore-us says not me, mama. He asks Jana once and for all do you want to marry me. Obviously nothing short of a load of bricks falling on him gets through to this dope.  Jana tells him point blank, no, I don’t want to marry you.  Oscar and Conny exchange discrete smiles, Max and Rod keep theirs under control while Gala smirks.

Por ella soy Eva #79 11/7/12: What a Woman!!!!!!!!

Wednesday, November 7th- Por Ella

I’m back!!!
Thank you all for your well wishes and warm thoughts.  I spent 7 days without electricity and heat.  I am thankful to have my utilities back but my heart goes out to everyone who is still in the dark and/or lost everything.  We are currently in the midst of a nor’easter and I pray that the lights stay on.  I have missed everyone and will spend this weekend catching up on my reading of the blogs.

We begin at the impromptu party staged by Eva as a diversion at the restaurant with Rebeca, Renato, Lucia, Santi and Angelica.
An inebriated Adriano and Eva leave the restaurant.  Eva leads Adriano down the stairs, who copes a feel on her derriere,
Helena is worried about Lalo who is missing a male figure in his life.  Silvia says that he is confused; he has grandpa, JC who died, his father who left, etc.  Helene wants to be cautious and doesn’t want to let Lalo down. Silvia asks is it Lalo or she who is cautious.
Rebeca looks for Eva and Adriano.  The attendant tells her that they left in his car.
At Adriano’s house- he falls on top of Eva.  She is ready to fight and Adriano is looking for love.  She will be his.
At Ferni’s they are eating dinner with Daniel and Marsela asks Danny about his mother and if she cooks.   Danny’s mom spends time at home and cooks and Marsela defends working moms. (Fernando has no table manners)
Eva defends her honor, she is a respectable woman and Adriano is begging.  He falls asleep.  Mimi calls and Eva lets her know that Adriano is begging and wants proof of her love.  Mimi is going to come over.
Rebeca calls Eva and lets her/him know that the jig is up.
Eva shrugs her off and tells her to get a life.
Adriano is getting desperate.
Back at the restaurant-Renato is asking questions about Eva and Angelica starts singing loudly.  The other patrons are looking.  Santi is embarrassed.
Adriano keeps on begging for a whiff and falling out on the couch.

Danny asks Jennifer for a little kiss for the road.  Danny has a plan, lets go to my parents place in Ixtalpa and spend the weekend?  Jennifer says that her parents will not go for that.  Danny has plans for Jennifer that are not honorable.  He is dangerous.
Eva puts Adriano to bed and Mimi is waiting outside of his house.
Pluto calls Helena- he wants Helena to recuperate and return to work, he misses her.  He is still forcing the issue.
Eva explains to Mimi what is going on.  They peek in on a sleeping Adriano.  Mimi adores him.  Mimi undresses him.  He beckons Eva to the bed. (So the girls are going to play bait and switch).  Mimi tells Eva that this is the opportunity to prove that she is an upright woman and relieve Rebeca from her suspicions.  Mimi is going to rock Adriano’s world and make him believe that it’s Eva.  What a friend!!  Mimi returns to the bedroom and turns off the lights and tiptoes into bed with Adriano who is calling for Eva.
A drunken Adriano makes love to who he thinks is Eva Maria.  Mimi is having the time of her life.  (For someone so drunk, Adriano, sure has a lot of energy!!!)

Back at the restaurant- Angelica and Renato are having a marvelously loud time.  Santi is a little uncomfortable with the whole scene.  Lucia asks Santi if everything is okay with his marriage, she doesn’t want to be a buttinski.  Santi lies- Angelica is the woman of my dreams.  He teases Lucia about she and Renato.  He was hoping that he could change her (angelica) as she laughs aloud.
Juan is thinking about Helena and remembering when he told her to wait, while Helena is thinking about him and will never love anyone the way that she loves him.  She asks Juan to leave her alone, get out of her head.  At the same time Juan Carlos is thinking about his one and only love, Helena.
Santi is trying to convince Angelica to study something other than dancing; Angelica tells him she is not a boring wife like his ex, Patti. (That’s for sure, nor does she have any class)   While Santi and Angelica are arguing, Renato and Lucia leave.  Angelica tells Santi that if he misses Patti, go back to her.  The waiter brings the HUGE check; Santi’s face loses color.
Renato leaves Lucia at the curb and drives off.  Really???

The next morning, a very satisfied Adriano is complimenting (Mimi) Eva and asks her to marry him.  That was some session!!!  Mimi sadly agrees.

Mimi slips out of the room and tells JC that there is no doubt that Eva is the woman, thanks to her!!!  Mimi tells JC that Adriano proposed to her and she said yes.  Que, que, what!!!!!
Eva left a note- “Spent a marveloussssss night.  See you later in the office, Eva.”
At Ferni’s Jennifer is complimenting her mother on working, running the house and being super woman.  Kevin is looking for his birthday gift.  Ooops, they forgot! Marsela wants to give him a harp while Ferni wants to give him a motorcycle.  Kevin prefers the motorcycle.
Marsela feels bad that she forgot Kevin’s 15th birthday.  Ferni and Marsela are arguing about spending money for the harp or the motorcycle while an exuberant Adriano greets them, (the married couple) looking for Eva.  Rebeca bursts into Eva’s office.  Eva tells Rebeca that she is boring her and fed up with her suspicions.  Adriano floats into Eva’s office and thanks her for the aphrodisiac, it worked well.  Rebeca is impactada.  Her mouth drops to the ground.  Rebeca asks if they…? Adriano is a gentleman so he doesn’t want to give details.  Rebeca, her animal print top and tight skirt, leave the office in disbelief.  Adriano is still relishing in the night of nights that they spent together.  Eva brings up the hiring the women that were fired and batters her eyebrows and Adriano melts.
Helena wishes Lalo goodbye and to have a good day at school. Silvia notices that Helena did not sleep well.  Helena was thinking and doing a little work.
Helena calls Pluto and he is a happy camper.  She feels fortunate to be with him and he is so marvelous, Yuck, Rebeca barges into Pluto’s office.  He lets her know that he is very happy being at Helena’s side.  Rebeca has a big surprise for him.
Santi lets Rebeca know that she left him with the check last night. Rebeca says that Santi is a dummy and not a macho man who knows how to handle his woman like Ferni.  Ferni agrees.  What a waste>
Cindy summons the three stooges into a board meeting.  Rebeca is going to uncover something spectacular.  She says that Juan Carlos is not dead and is closer than they think.  Santi and Ferni have a good laugh.  She heard it from Juan Carlos’ mother Eugenia Mistrial.

At the board meeting- Renato announces that Eva is going to announce the restructuring of the company.  Eva is going to show her proposal to rehire the 100 women who were fired.  Pluto is none too happy.  Adriano can’t stop smiling.
The doctor visits Eugenia and asks about when her magazine article is going to come out. She said that it was nothing but a deception.   She also doesn’t believe that her son is alive either.  The doctor is elated.  Pluto is none too happy with the risky plan.
Pluto needs an economical guarantee.  Eva offers her shares that Antonia left her. Adriano is in total agreement with the proposal.
Rebeca calls Pluto back; she had something to share that is very serious with everyone who works at Grupo Imperio.

Coming attractions:
Pluto marrying Helena??  Rebeca exposes Eva at the board meeting. (I wonder if Mimi is dressed as Eva?)

Abismo de pasión #161 Gran Final 11/5/12: POR FIN!!

Prologue (by Sylvia): If anyone watched the “Rumbo”, which aired an hour before the Final, they would have been pleased to witness another heavenly visit by Guadalupe in glowing white and positioned next to the cenote, warning us: “Passion is like the wind. Able to put everything in motion. And human passions are not in plain sight. They need the warmth and locked darkness, like the bottom of an abyss, an abyss of passion.”

A bit later we get the shirtless arm wrestling at last! More or less. With the voiceover: “In a hot country like this, the sun makes your blood boil, moisture penetrates the skin, the air stifles night senses and awakens instincts. There is no respite for lovers who fall into an abyss of passion.” (But that last part about lovers, the camera had left our boys and traveled to Carmina and Rosendo. In case you were worried.)

And if you think those explanations can make up for all the craziness that Fluffy and Co. have inflicted upon us you can think again. The only thing that helps out is a rowdy happy hour out on The Patio of Lowered Expectations, watching this nonsense with a group of crazy, like-minded friends, nerfazos in hand, drinks on the table, and habanero poppers on the way. As they say at the Drive-In: And now, on with the show...

Amorcito Corazón Discussion #144-148 Nov. 5-9

I hope everyone is well.  Today's show seemed to have the baddies acting out a lot.  Hopefully the rest of the week will get better.

Moncho saunters into the gym after Willy finishes teaching and the ladies approve of his new look.

Mr. C. has lunch w/F5 and his blonde amante.  She compliments Mr. C which makes the lying adulterer jealous.

Amor Bravío #58 (Uni 53) Mon 11/5/12



Capitulo 58:  Those Who Observe


Lo del Pasado

Camila tells Andres she loves the ranch, but it isn't hers.  That she has him is enough.  Alonssso reminds Leoncerdo (who must have been thrown in the shower, hosed down, and forcibly dressed in clean clothes by Omar for the occasion; Omar should demand combat pay for that) that he wouldn't be in El Diablo's house if not for him. He tells him to make Andres regret he was ever born. This is something Leoncerdo will be too happy to do. Alonssso tells him that he had better not screw up this time and he is to tell no one of these orders. He promises not to.

Lo de Nuevo

Cabaña:   Andres asks Camila what would happen if Daniel isn't the person she hoped for, if he's done thing he isn't proud of. She doesn't understand the question, saying she wants to believe that Daniel is the good person Rafael says he is. They embrace, Andres with a pensive expression.

Does anyone know what happens to "Por ella soy Eva" tonight?

I know that passion pit (I chuckle to myself every time I think of that clever translation) has a big finale tonight. TV guide says Abismo for 7 to 9, but there's a big gray block between 9 and 10.

Anyone know if Eva is on tonight?

Thanks!

Por ella soy Eva #78 11/2/12: An Intervention For... Rebeca??

Mimi reluctantly verifies to Eugenia that Juan is, indeed, alive and posing as Eva. Genie's hurt that he didn't confide in her, and he's caused her a lot of problems. But Mimi says Juan needs her help. Please, if she doesn't want to see him, at least talk to him on the phone.

Juan (who's taking this call in his own voice while wearing full Eva garb out in broad daylight on a busy street) apologizes but also says this has been really tough for him. Genie says it's been no picnic for her either - half the world thinks she's crazy for saying that he's alive. (Well, if everyone thinks he's dead, perhaps it's crazy to insist otherwise before finding out what's up. Seriously, what did she expect people to think, the way she was talking?)

Juan apologizes some more and explains about his mission to clear his name. He needs her help - but above all, she mustn't tell anyone that he's Eva! But Genie says it's too late - an alleged reporter, she can't remember her name but no doubt she was one of his ex-girlfriends, came by and overheard everything!

Amor Bravío #57 (Uni 52) Fri 11/2/12 Hissadora Ties Up Loose Ends While Devilish Dionisio Gives Gussie’s Girls The News He’s Just Tied the Knot With Mama




Cap. #57

D’Andres was getting the crap beaten out of him by the petty, pusillanimous pissant, Alonso, when last we left Hacienda La Malquerida which is, ironically, a ranchota that’s anything but what its moniker would suggest.  (A cry goes up in Viewerville to Dan’l: ‘You aren’t gonna let a wimp like that get the best of you, are you?????’)  D’Andres is ready for the next punch; he blocks with his left, jabs with his right, and then knocks the little chimp on his back, jumps on his chest (auff!) and starts choking the prostrated nebbish till Rodolfo and Eleutario manage to drag him off.  (I’d have made mincemeat out of this milquetoast some--like Xi--call a man if it were me; but the telenovela gods thought to let the little weasel loose to make trouble for all concerned another day.  That’s why they get the big bucks I know.)
