La Que La Vida Me Robo, capitulo 184. 07/29/14.
Pedro has the gun pointed at himself as EZ and I are yelling for him to shoot himself. Hurry up before the navy rushes in and arrest you. Now shoot! It looks like Pedro is about to pull the trigger but instead points the gun at a surprised EZ. You are here because I have decided it this way says Pedro. I wanted the pleasure to end your miserable pathetic life. Pedro pulls the trigger but unfortunately there are no bullets. EZ laughs and says you fell in my game. The plan is to turn you in alive so the navy can find Rosario and you can rot in prison for the rest of your life you miserable swine! Pedro rushes EZ and throws him up against the wall, throws insults at him and pistol whips him. The navy rush in but Pedro is long gone. The boys ask EZ were Pedro is and if he said anything about Rosario. Nothing replies EZ.
Outside a badly wigged Maria is waiting in a car and in hops Pedro. They speed off.
Amelia and Virginia sit down for a heart to heart chat. Amelia is angry that Virginia keeps questioning her decision to marry Pedro and send her away. Virginia believes Amelia sent her away to enjoy her marriage to Pedro and keep her from pestering them. Amelia admits the only reason she married Pedro was to find proof of his bad dealings. He never touched her or shared a bed with her. Virginia isn't buying her story. Amelia grows more frustrated and says there is just no talking to her. Virginia says she really needed her. She lost her father, sister and then her. Amelia says she did it all to protect her. She loves, missed and needs her. They are together now and nothing will separate them again. She wants her to find someone to love and form a family. She wants grand kids. Virginia says she met a man at Esme's house. His name is Eric. I don't think he is interested in Esme since he's a younger. I believe I caught his eye.

Que pobres tan ricos Tuesday: as anvils fall, the tarantulas gloat
Refritos: the fresas hate Tizoc's microbus song. and his manager threatens to kill him. I agree with them that he is an imbecil. Listening at home, Chuy reminds Carm that success is easy come easy go and he doesn't think Tizoc is managing very well.
So! At the editorial, Mati is welcomed into the room and embraced by los Ruizpalacios. "Quiet everybody. I am completely recovered and the doctor is here to confirm it. So we are not naming a new president just now." Mike sort of sticks out his tongue at Alejo, "so there."

Que Pobres tan Ricos #144 28 July 2014 Tizoc wakes up and confronts managers from hell, A-hole is drooling over his victory, but his victory is short lived
Lupe calls A-hole. He tells her she has to show up to the office with him to finish baking the donuts (signing the papers). Lupe agrees, but reluctantly, she was not counting on having to show her face.
The nurse is brought to the police bldg… Top Cop asks her where is Mati. Nurse looks down.
At Tomas’ Dr Miranda gives Mati the green light, he can certify she is fully recouped… Mati so glad. She needed his opinion… He suggests she rest another few days. And if you can spend that time with family, even better. Mati says she is already with family. Regarding the RP she will meet up with them later.
At club, AS is turning it on Beba, she wants them to bet some of their jewelry… The ladies take their quick exit, don’t want to play strip poker… AS throws kisses to the wind as the ladies take off… She also fans her newly won cash (was this donation from Beba and Chabela to AS' charities?)…
Chuy and Mati celebrate that she is ready for coming back to the wrestling ring… Mati says even though she feels guilty of keeping her grandkids, especially MA, in the dark about where she is, she wants to wait a few days more. Mati wants to make sure she is really really REALLY 100% ready to face the music.
Top Cop tells MA and Saul that the nurse testified that she blames the staff at the geriatric clinic. She is trying to wash her hands… The nurse says that since Mati was in the other geriatric, she also escaped a few times… so Top Cop has to let her go.
Chuy tells Mati that when MA took her out of the geriatric clinic and took her to the fonda, she did not look as wide awake and healthy as she is now. Chuy felt bad when she would call for Aureliano since he could not come to help her. Mati says that with Chuy’s family around, she felt like she had Aureliano’s presence by her. Chuy says that is how he lost his Marcelita. Mati says that life has taught her that sooner or later our loved ones that have gone still are with us thanks to the great memories they left us. We have to let them go and live the best we can in their honor. (Boy Mati looks grrrrrrrrrreat!!)
Vilma calls A-hole. He is trying to avoid coming to see her… Again she insists she needs to see him in person. HE promises he will come tomorrow, too busy today. When he hangs up he says ‘and you better wait another 30 years for me’.
At Fonda, the Menchacas are eating… Lupe sends Emi to bed. Perla tells them Tizoc will have another show tomorrow night. Tizoc does not look anywhere as excited about the new gig. Perla says we don’t want to see you, we want to see the other artists that will be there. She is excited about her newly found fame (as makeup artist??) Carm can barely contain her excitement… Chuy looks at her weird, thinking it is about Mati. She is super happy about Wendy’s upcoming wedding. Everyone talks about weddings, Perla mentions couples that were expected to end up married and in the end… NOT, like MA and Lupe.. She ends up making Lupe cry…
MA tells AS and Frida that he still can’t find Mati. AS is making a comment that Mati is in heaven surrounded by angels. Maybe the nurse that they found could tell us the truth. Maybe we could buy her to tell us. AS thinks they can ‘buy’ anyone to do anything now that we have money again… The rest of the family protest in unison.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #143 - Mon 7/28
Rodrigo gets Big Al's ghost to go away and takes a call from the shady doctor who's going to help him get Grumps declared mentally incompetent. Does this actor always play shady guys?
Morales hasn't tracked down the account where Rodrigo is depositing all the money. It's not enough to accuse him of embezzlement, since he can just claim he took the money for something business-related.
Brigitte scolds the Mushroom Man for not taking advantage of her drunk mother. He's pretty much resigned to going back to France, but, hey, he and Brig can be Facebook friends.
Alonso and Diego make plans to go visit Tiburcio and start his new drug regimen.
Carmen visits Eleazar and tries to use her feminine wiles on him, but he's too pissed about Carmen "kissing" the Mushroom Man. She tries to tell him how things really went, but he won't listen and throws her out, saying it's OVER. Carmen goes, but she says she hopes he won't be sorry later. Eleazar grouses about knowing what he saw. Carmen stands outside his door and calls the Mushroom Man to set up a meeting tomorrow morning at the fonda.

At bar named La Amargura (sorrow), Gwendy and Saul are wrapped in each other’s arms… Gwendy seems to be half drunk, seems to be ready to take Saul home for some pow-wow.
At studio, Perla talks to the models she helped out with the make-up. The girls say she is AWESOME. Modeling is a very hard career, besides being very short, you end up rejected after only a few years. Tizoc comes to them… takes Perla away. The models are a bit sickened by Tizoc coming by(?)
Gwendy and Saul keep it going at the bar, he finally gets the check. Her cell phone rings. It is Lupe. Lupe tells her about Nepo’s visit. Gwendy afraid she returned with Nepo again… on the contrary, he came to tell her he doesn’t love her. That he has the hots for a girl from the barrio. Gwendy guesses who it could be. (carror hair?? LOL!) Lupe says nope, it is some girl named Gwendys! He finally realized you are the girl of his life!! Gwendy says ‘men are like the two legged cockroach, until they see her with another, they don’t realize how much they care. ‘ Lupe tells her don’t reject Nepo just for too much pride. Gwendy says no, she is now interested in someone else. Gwendy hangs up on Lupe and says ‘sorry but Nepo already lost me’. She goes back to Saul and kisses him… He is ready to go to her place… but she has changed her mind… he wonders if he did something inappropriate… you did, and I liked it, but the issue is not that… then what? … she ends up leaving him sitting there… without a real reason. ‘quedo de ti muy atentamente, lic Saul Ballesteros…’

Tomas finds Perla's diet pills and asks her about them. He tells Tizoc who has a chat with her. She feels she needs them she tells him, as the top models are all thin as rails. He assures her she doesn't need them, she is beautiful the way she is. Later. she goes with him to his video shoot, for that stupid celullar song, and fixes the model's makeup. They love it up the actual makeup artist is not happy.
Ahole, while talking to Emi, tells him Mama and I are married. Que Padre! Ahole assures him that soon, very soon they will all be together. Oh, and keep it a secret!

Weekend Discussion: Novela Genres; What is your preference?
Some people seem to be bailing out on Lo Que la Vida Me Robo because of the turn the story has taken. As long as Televisa (and other production companies) are in cost-cutting mode we can expect story extensions that do things like this one. I certainly will agree that doing this to a series that begins as a comedy without an advance set-up (such as we are probably getting in Mi Corazon es Tuyo) is completely wrong, but when novelas depend on suspense, we need to deal. I'd much rather have this than filler scenes that just attempt to inflate the original story.
Personally, I'd like to see more mystery-oriented novelas if we're looking for more male or younger viewers. The gratuitous violence and gore in narco stories is something I find as unappealing as the glorification of their lifestyles.
I mourn the absence of a good novela de epoca, but I guess the networks think they're too expensive a risk against the bleeding of younger and male viewers. Que lastima.
Be verbose, my friends.

Luz Lights the Way To Ana’s Return
Cap 4
Ana and Jennifer have wormed their way into Don Fernando's Veep’s office under the false pretense of being potential investors. The veep gets a painful crick in his back while getting up out of his chair and Ana’s trying a variety of personal remedies. Don Fernando Lascurain arrives at the office where all is chaos. DonFer opens the door and Ana has lots of ‘splainin’ to do.
She’s there unannounced per Bruno’s well-meaning instructions to beg forgiveness and ask for her job back since she’s heard that the kids like her and want her back. DonFer says they do but that he’s not sure he does. She’s broken his rules which were to be followed to the letter, and he especially didn’t like her walking out the door without saying a word. Personal problems or whatever, it better not happen again! He hands her a trial contract for one week’s more as a trial nanny. Ana promises he won’t have another bit of worry over her and goes to shake his hand.

Breaking News! We now know who has been helping Pedro Medina! Lo que la vida me robo #!80 07/23/2014
When we left off last night Maria was paying a visit to our always beautiful Alejandro, who was sitting in jail for assaulting a police officer, she was dressed as Alejandro's wife but while that was disturbing enough things got worse-way worse when Maria started to pretend to be Montserrat, Alejandro stood in the tiny jail cell- the look on his face said it all, he finally seemed to understand that Maria, his childhood friend and companion had lost her sh*t.
Maria continued with her crazy rant (still pretending to be Montserrat): "I love you so much Alejandro but you have to understand me, Jose Luis is very important to me..."- Alejandro begged her to stop, but like the Energizer Bunny she just kept going and going- "No, I know this is all my fault for loving two men, sometimes I think you would have been happier with Maria, she never shared her heart with anyone and to her you were the only thing that mattered, you were the only thing she lived for. That's why I understand the things she does to hurt me, I took away your love from her, I don't blame her for the things she does, really I don't, like what she did to my truck...I deserved it for being a slut", 'You did that?!" exclaims Alejandro as he calls for the guard- "No, Maria did it!", Alejandro continues to call for help but no one shows up, "anyway I just came to tell you that I love you and I'll be sure to give the kids a kiss when I get home". Alejandro tells her to stay away from his kids as she walks away-the guards never came.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo #3, July 23, 2014... Ana wins over most of the kids, Fanny discovers her secret and Ana leaves... But the resignation is short lived
She takes a deep breath to restrain herself from hurting Fanny. Ana leaves, the kids join hands.
Ana deals with the mouse in her shower. Very bravely she grabs it by tail and tosses it out the window.
Kids are trying to listen out the door but Ana doesn’t come out. Fanny has another prank in her list.
Ana showers all the paint off… ‘why does this happen to me???’
Fanny closes the hot water down in the basement. Ana starts shaking because the water gets cold.
Bruno catches the kids down in the basement. Cecilia comes up with the story that Sebastian needs a shower for his body odor. Bruno sends everyone upstairs.
Ana comes out of the shower. She confronts the kids in the halway ‘why? I did not do anything to you! / we promised we would make your time here miserable! / know something? He who gets angry loses… (Ana goes back in the bedroom) … I am strong!! Yes I can!! (Si se puede!!) … Jennifer calls Ana… ‘these kids are… a bit difficult… they covered me in green paint… /are they beasts? / … one notch higher… I will make these kids pay… even if it’s the last thing I do.
Fanny asks Ana why she has not left… (Ana is dressed back in her black sleeveless zippered dress. ) ‘Not all of us were lucky to be born in a palace… I might not be the most educated, but I am capable and persistent… and I will stay here for a long time!...’
All kids look at each other… Seems Nando and Luz are the ones least in agreement with the pranks.
Lo Nuevo:
Next prank, seems they are putting some kind of powder in Ana’s bed… with remote controls?... ah, there is a camera on the car…
Ana is sleeping, starts scratching like crazy… the twin boys are laughing. Ana runs out of her room and spots the twins… the car is recording her in the halway. Ana runs after the boys. Ana trips on the car and stumbles down the stairs. She ends up unconscious so the boys get scared, run down, and scream that she is dead… Bruno comes out. Bruno checks and is relieved that she is breathing… Nando comes down mad, asks the twins ‘what did you do to her??’ the boys reply ‘It was an accident!!’

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #140 - Wednesday 7/23
Tonight’s theme is actually borrowed from our wonderful recapper Sara. The writers continue to vex me but I’m trying to keep things positive. So, I’m chanting how I hate them throughout the recap. Forgive me from the outset if this vexes you but it did make me feel a bit better based on the wrong choices these scribes keep making.
Carmen has to comfort Brat, who is depressed because her father didn’t visit her and has left the country. Since she’s more upset about her potential meal ticket than actual interaction with her father, its hard to have sympathy for her. Carmen allows Brat to miss her brother’s wedding.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/21/14 (#139): I Wasn't Expecting the Spanish Inquisition
AS and MA sit at opposite ends of a very long dinner table. Leo is sitting somewhere in the middle (symbolism much?). Despite the fact that they never used to eat meals together in the before-time, AS is annoyed that Frida is very late. In fact, Frida finally comes home, says it was a long day planning a protest against some kind of genetic engineering or something, and is going straight to bed. Leo decides to take his dinner to his room, too. That leaves MA and AS alone to chat with one another, or so you'd think.
Emi has apparently eaten all he's going to eat tonight, so Lupe sends him to bed. (He has to be reminded to take his plate.) Actually this is more about getting him out of the room so that Lupe and Chuy can confront Tizoc about the positive pregnancy test that wasn't Lupe's or Perla's. Tizoc is very defensive: "What is this, the Inquisition?"
Vilma calls Ahole and demands to see him tomorrow. He doesn't want to go, but she insists. He makes a big deal of having to rearrange his schedule to accommodate her, and jokes that her own schedule is so open lately.

She happily tells Luz about Abdul's upcoming wedding and they joke that she really needs to change the name of a certain crab dish on the fonda's menu.

At Salomon’s, AS and Leo are there. She wants all her stuff back. She will pay him every cent. Salomon asks if this is the ‘dia de los inocentes’ (april fools day?) he will find boxes and newspapers to wrap her ‘trickets’ in LOL! Leo wants to excuse himself, but she won’t let him go. She says you will have time to say goodbye to your cheeky friend. (Cacheton) AS says Leo should go back to school in NY.
Saul and MA at fonda. MA tells Saul he will continue pursuing the juices business, but he will NEVER go back to the Editorial business. Leo comes in. wants MA to go get Frida, she is crying in bathroom, according to Leo she will be missing La Nopalera. She is in bathroom checking her pregnancy test. (was that positive? I missed it.)
At kitchen, AS, as a grateful gesture, wants to leave Carm and Lupe her culinary recipes book/scrapbook. Beef Stroganoff, minestrone, tortellinis (love the way Carm pronounced it as ‘y’). AS recommends they use cognac to elevate the taste of dishes. Use the best ingredients always. Chuy thanks her for all the advice. Lupe also thanks her. AS repeats that it is an act of charity now that she is leaving. AS says later will send someone to pick up their belongings.
It is Lupe’s turn to lock herself in bathroom to use a pregnancy test.
At fonda, Chuy is saying farewell to AS and Leo. Leo says thank you very much, good luck and ‘todo cool’. Perla is happy to see them go. MA says even through all we got through, all these months have been the best part of his life. MA says will be watching for them. Chuy says thanks but better keep your distance. MA wants them to know they can count on him for ANYTHING. One last ‘sunshine’ sharing embrace. MA whispers to Carm that he is leaving, thank you for all the support. She will not stop trying to vow for him with Lupita. AS has waited enough, urges MA to wrap it up. Finally will say goodbye to La Nopalera. Arrivederci!!

WARNING: Tonight's episode was a masterpiece of apropos of nothing. It was all over the place and I find those kinds of episodes difficult to focus on.
The First Hour
Was really, really slow.
- Rodrigo tried to make a transfer to his Cayman Island account. He gets the blue screen of death mid transaction. He confirms with the bank that the transaction was completed and takes the laptop to the IT guy.
- A drugged Eleazar sings and tells Carmen he wants to make a baby with her. She calls the doctor. When Eleazar wakes up from the injection the doctor gave him, he tells Carmen he and Kimberly are kaput. Carmen tells him to come see her and act just like he did while on drugs. We are subjected to time wasting scenes in which Alonso tries to hypnotize El so he can remember what he did under the influence.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó #176, 7/16/14: Adolfo proposes; Pedro disposes--or at least tries a few things to exact vengeance.
Red Sky at Morning, Melodrama Warning! |
For us in Viewerville it's been mere 24 hours since the events of Capitulo 175, but for our friends in that anomaly of space-time that is Agua Azul, México, a whole year has passed since just last night! During that year, some of them seem to have been given a reprieve from the drama and had a much-deserved spate of fairly ordinary life off-screen; others have continued on their various downward spirals. But it looks like the storm clouds of crazy are gathering and our Aguazuleños are now worthy of filming again. Let's check in on as many of them as we can:
In Her Beautiful House by the Sea
Still beautiful Montserrat is sitting in the living room with her adorable and well-behaved children, Laurito and Romina. We learn that Romina has just begun to walk and that if Laurito were a US citizen he would be a firm supporter of Title IX as he is impatient to be able to play fútbol with her. The doorbell rings. In bursts José-Luis still sporting his sport coat and bright T-shirt look, eager to see his little girl. It's worth noting that she begins crying as soon as he takes her from Montserrat.
Very savvy toddler who knows a Galán B when she sees one |

Lo Que la Vida me Robo 175 07/15/2014: Look at what I can do with this gun ma'
A new baby has been born, sadly her daddy is a nut job:
At the hacienda everyone rejoices at the birth of a new baby, both baby and mother are healthy and plans are made for both to make a trip back to Agua Azul for a check up. Alejandro Almonte, who is beautiful-but sadly not very bright, tries to reassure his wife by telling her that he will accept the baby as if she were his own, heck, he even says that although it is not possible he would love for the baby to be named Alejandra.
Jose Luis, the baby daddy just happens to walk in right at the moment and he is not a happy camper, he goes off on Alejandro and Montserrat asking them what's wrong with them, how dare they try and name the baby without his input? She is his daughter and he will name her! I kinda want to suggest that they toss a coin and whoever wins gets to name her, problem solved!

Que Pobres tan Ricos Tuesday July 15: Tizoc and Emiliano are insufferable.
- Carmela told Mike she'd try to talk Lupita around, and she's good to her word...
... but first Lupita has to faint, then tell everybody she's fine and she'll get checked out later. Chuy is worried. Perla says thoughtfully, "and she isn't even taking anything... uh, vitamins I mean" ...

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #132/133- Tuesday 7/15
The following recap has been composed under extreme emotional distress. It will be out of order and in my usual squirrely way.
I still think they are editing the parts where everyone drops acid or smokes crack or otherwise suffers some psychotic break. I have no other explanation for the absolutely out-of-chartacter actions I witnessed tonight.
The Investigation
The writers have decided we need a dose of realism. Morales is doing the investigation thing and questioning Hilda. Tiburcio sits in the background and makes moaning sounds. Hilda lets Morales search the garden. Vicente receives a call from his friend Rodolfo the procurador. Morales is *thisclose* to finding the wrench when Vicente throws him off the property for searching without a warrant.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #130/131- Mon 7/14
Brigitte is relieved to hear from Alonso that Alberto visited Rodrigo, but things didn't seem to "get very far" between them. She wants him to call Al's parents, but Alonso doesn't want to worry them if he doesn't need to. Brigitte decides she doesn't want to wait alone and calls Carmen, but Carmen is busy waiting for Natalia to come home. "Natalia, Natalia, Natalia!" whines Brigitte yet again. Hey, there you are, Brat…wondered where you'd gotten to! Carmen says Natalia's had a rough day, what with finding out who her "real" parents are. Brigitte and Lupita are both surprised to hear this.
Lupita goes to tell Paolo and drags him out to the living room so they can interrogate Carmen.
Carmen tells Brigitte who Natalia's parents are. Brigitte says "Why's she upset, then? This is like winning the lottery!" Carmen gets tired of Brat's attitude, so Brat gives her some more, saying of course she's having a worse day that Nat. Lupita wonders how Tad is Nat's father if he didn't, um, have anything to do with Carmen. Carmen gives them the deets. Paolo figures Tad and Irene must be thrilled to have found her.
Padre Juancho finishes giving her the story and apologizes on behalf of…pretty much everybody who knew…for not being able to find the right time to tell her. PJ suggests she be thankful for having 3 awesome parents and just treat Irene with the same affection she always has.
Carmen keeps telling Paolo and Lupita about the great Telling Nat debacle. Irene shows up and Paolo and Lupita welcome Irene to the family. PJ calls Carmen and tells her Nat listened to his explanations and seemed calmer.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of July 14, 2014
Even though a lot of people are watching and commenting, no one, as yet, has volunteered to recap on a regular basis. Mauricio and Sara stepped up to help in the first week, and I did a couple of minicaps too. For week two, I've agreed to write a brief summary of Monday's episode; Sara has volunteered to recap Wednesday and Friday.
Is anyone interested in writing a brief recap of Tuesday's or Thursday's episode this week?
Is anyone interested in recapping this one regularly?
Folks, if no one volunteers, we'll just have comments. It's up to you!
Have a wonderful week!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of July 14, 2014
While it was kind of nice to have our conversations crossing each other and for us to read over each other's shoulders on one page, at a certain point it becomes unwieldy. It began to feel as if Cielos and En Otra Piel were being drowned out.
So this is the new page for Cielos, En Otra Piel and any other Telemundo or Unimás show you feel like discussing.
Reina de Corazones comments and mini-recaps will be on a separate page.
Have a great week!

Que Pobres tan Ricos #134 A-hole sues Chuy about the Menchaca house. Emiliano continues to act A-holish. Saul tries to get MA to retake his old richy rich life... Chuy's mystery is revealed!! MAAAATIII!! MAAAATIII!!!
Lupe tells A-hole she’s not afraid of him. He asks if she will bring a wrestler to fight him. Lupe says she is enough on her own to fight with nails and teeth for her son. A-hole changes strategy and gets pleading, asks her to come be a family with him and Emiliano. Lupe is confused at his change of statement. A-hole tries to convince her that she is and will always be the most important for Emiliano. You have nothing to lose.
MA yelling at the staff at the senior center. The manager says he was given paperwork for the woman as Matilde widow of RP… MA is still outraged.
Saul is more calm and asks them who brought Mati in. Was it ARP? Nurse says ARP sent Mati, but the one that brought her was a nurse that used to work for us(the senior home) but quit recently.
Now A-hole is trying to make Lupe believe that she is unstable temper-wise… A-hole reminds Lupe that the school director is witness to Lupe losing her cool in front of Emiliano. (come on Lupe! Wake up and smell the rat!!) Emiliano comes over and is all lovey-dovey with A-hole. Lupe is just frozen there… she even lets Emiliano go alone with A-hole.(she is THAT shocked... about how well these two get together?).
At Fonda, AS is still whinning with herself about having come back to live in the 'cuchitril'. Leo and Frida outside the penthouse door are coaching each other to calm down before they walk in. Leo gives AS two options… we either 1) stay here or 2) we go to the shelter of the indigents(basically homeless shelter).
AS wants booze. Leo and Frida won’t give her any. Leo takes DaVinci on his arm and asks AS to breathe. AS takes DaVinci back and tells DaVinci that he is the only one that understands her. (I missed the detail that Leo told DaVinci that he needed to raise his hand/leg to speak LOL! thanks forum friends!)
MA and Saul out on the street, MA is really ansi, he has to find out NOW where abuela is.
At Fonda, Chuy does not like seeing Lupe so down in spirits. Lupe says lets talk about the finances… we have a lot of expenses and have to figure out where to get more moolah. She tells Tizoc he needs to go get a job and help out. Tizoc says he is only good for ‘the cantata’. Emiliano comes down. Lupe asks him what is up. Emiliano says ‘I am fed up with eating the same thing every day. Can’t we eat something different?’ Lupe is not liking at all seeing Emiliano talk like this, so asks him 'what do you prefer? To eat or not to eat?'

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 172 - 10 July, 2014 - Stuck On Replay: Another Of Maria’s Plots Bites The Dust
It Looks Like Jose Luis Will Allow Montserrat To Leave—Maybe
Jose Luis wants to know if Montserrat would forgive a betrayal from Alejandro. Whatever happens, he will be there waiting. Montserrat goes to pack her bags. Tomorrow she will leave the house.
I’ll Just Take The Houses and Lands; Thanks
Over at the judge’s chambers, Father Anselmo, the judge and Alejandro meet. The judge tells Padre that he trusts him completely but his declaration is too late. Father Anselmo emphatically retorts that it is never late to correct an injustice. But the judge clarifies that the tests run on the document prove forever and anon that Alejandro is the only true heir of Benjamin Almonte. Padre’s declaration does not clear Alejandro because he is already proven to be the rightful Almonte heir. As of this moment he has recovered his name, Alejandro Almonte Dominguez and all that goes with it. Congratulations!
Father Anselmo praises God for being very just. Despite all that has happened nothing has dimmed his faith. Padre encourages Alejandro and hopes he has learned from his previous errors.
Alejandro tells the Father that he is very fortunate. Not only is he recovering his name, but he is also recovering his family.
The Judge tells them that his decision is absolutely irrevocable but that it might take a while for Alejandro to recover everything. But Alejandro is way ahead of everyone else. He says that Fabiola has transferred ALL of the money to another person. He doesn’t want a penny of the money anyway. Anselmo is appalled by yet another miscarriage of justice, and he asks,
“Who ended up with the money?”
“Graciela Mendoza,” answers Alejandro.
The Judge recognizes her name as the woman who formerly perjured herself in the matter of Don Benjamin’s will. Padre Anselmo wants to know – How did that happen?

Qué Pobres, Jueves 7/10/14 (#133): Carrots and Sticks
So MA makes his triumphant return to the fonda, and Lupita greets him with a punch in the face. MA has no idea why, but he tries to apologize anyway, and he even mentions the letter (that he doesn't know Lupita never got) but Lupe is too angry to think about it.
MA says he apologized to Mini too, and she took it a lot better than Lupe is, "and then something weird happened." Again, Lupe is too angry to focus on the "something weird" and thinks "apology" is a strange way to describe being naked in bed with Minerva. (Perla and Carmelita are listening at the door, by the way.)
MA doesn't know what Lupe is talking about and says "wow, after all this time I would have thought you'd know me better than that" and Lupe replies sarcastically "you're right about that!" She gives back his swanky hand-crafted upcycled PVC engagement ring, but don't worry! Her finger won't be naked very long!

The return Lo que LA Vida me robo 171 07/09/2014
Dude,our mom is a scumbag:
Fabiola, our resident drunk is now behind bars, how she has managed to survive without her wine is anyone's guess, she tells her new found siblings that Graciela is a big fake, everything about her is a lie, including her name. She explains that Amalia told her the truth about Graciela, she was born in poverty to a seamstress and her real name is Gaudencia! She also explains that she got tricked into transferring all her money to one of her mothers accounts only to be ditched. Alejandro and Montserrat feel for her-and Alejandro offers to get her a lawyer to help reduce the time she spends in prison but he makes it clear that he can not forgive her and he tells her that she needs to pay for the fraud she committed and for stealing seven years of his life.

Pobres, Wednesday: World-cup shunting claims another victim
I couldn't find recordings of the episode in the usual places online, so I'll just do what I can with what i've got!
Lupita is confused - where's her boyfriend? The family attempts to comfort her. Leo also wonders where he is, wants to call the policuqui, but Saul says they gotta wait 24 hours.
HAHAHA Mini, her mom, and Ahole struggling to heave Mike into the bed. Ahole wants the discovery to seem natural and insults the ladies (he calls them plásticas).
Emiliano continues to be a little twerp. Lupe's mom wants her to chill out and drink her tea.
Don Chuy is caught on a mysterious mission (is he going to get booze for AS or something)?
At the hospital (AS got put there for drinking), Leo says bye to Diego who has been there with him all night for Leo (what a mensch, she's always been so awful to him). Diego leaves to go teach futbol.
Ahole shows up to try to drive Lupita and Emiliano, presumably to take the kid to school and then just "happen" to discover Mike w/ Mini.
Saul has clearly sold himself out, and he goes whole-hog into a product placement for cellphones so noxious I couldn't even make out what the pretense was. They even play that tinkly commercial music in the background. Uniphone?
Here's the worst thing I saw tonight... Ana Sofia tells her son that she'll only consider getting better and going to AA if he breaks up with the futbolista. SO bad. Yuk yuk yuk.
Anybody who stuck with the show till the end (it must have been midnight or later), please fill us in with what else happened. Thanks!!!!!!!

Mi Corazón es Tuyo (My Heart is Yours) - Main Characters
Ana (Silvia Navarro)
is in a job she despises, and she has just lost the home she struggled to own… she knows she has to “start over”…
On account of some clerical error at an employment agency, Ana finds herself applying for the job of “nanny” to a wealthy widower, Fernando Lascuraín, with seven difficult children. Somehow, without credentials and/or a cultured background, Ana manages to charm the children and make them show signs of beginning to recover from the loss of their mother.
Meanwhile, Fernando, their father pursues a woman with a suitable pedigree, but it becomes increasingly obvious that he smitten with Ana, and Ana is smitten with him!
Fernando Lascurain (Jorge Salinas)
appreciates order and discipline. He is father of seven kids and has been a widower for a year now. He doesn't drink, smoke, or otherwise enjoy the finer things in life..... As a businessman, he is widely respected, especially since he heads a finance company. He's totally buried himself in his work, thinking to provide his kids with the very best in life, but has actually neglected giving them what they need most: his love and his affection. Ana's arrival will have a great impact on him as it will awaken his passion for life, now gone since the death of his wife.
Isabela Vázquez de Castro (Mayrín Villanueva)
is the object of Fernando's affections, but his kids don't want her around. She's a sophisticated executive with a number of Masters' Degrees from numerous universities around the world. She's extremely beautiful and knows it. Her gain, everybody else's loss..... The woman is calculating and manipulative and could care less who she steps on to get what she wants--and she wants Fernando.....along with the status and life of unbounded luxury that being Sra. Lascurain offers. However, his kids care for Ana more.
Diego Lascurain (Pablo Montero) is Fernando's brother and polar opposite. He lacks commitment, has lots of charm and loves to party.
Bruno (René Casados) is the loyal majordomo of the Lascurain manse.
Jennifer (Fabiola Campomanes) is Ana's crass best friend and a waitress at Club Chicago.
Yolanda (Carmen Salinas)
Johnny (Adrián Uribe) is Ana's current, loser boyfriend and her manager.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #124/125- Wed 7/9
Hola, amigas/os. Again I want to thank Kat for taking my place this past month. I just got in from being out this evening but wanted to leave a space for you all to chat among yourselves while I cook up this recap.
The Brat yells at Natalia for “rescuing” her from a really shady doc. (Earlier a poor young woman tells the doctor her bleeding hasn’t stopped and he says its normal. That wasn’t a big enough sign for Brat but often clueless Karina was horrified.) She forbids Nat to tell anyone about this and guess who drives up? Of course, its Diego.

Que pobres tan ricos July 8: Some cry and drink, one dances, one goes to jail in pink pajamas, and one has a bottle of chloroform and knows how to use it...
Don Chuy and Ana Sofia are getting so drunk. She tells him: My father was an important Italian businessman, he seduced one of his maids and I was born. He gave me his name and took me to live with him. It wasn't a bad childhood, but I was always ashamed of my past, of the mother I never knew and didn't want to know. Please don't judge me harshly, and promise on what you hold most sacred to keep my secret."

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #120/121- Mon 7/7
I must have been ignoring Kimberly on Friday, because I remembered her showing up at lunch, but I did not remember her telling the Boss that she would be marrying El soon, nor the Boss inviting himself to be their witness for the wedding. Awkward. But that's where the refrito starts in, followed by Brat ignoring Rod's calls and trying to talk herself out of being pregnant; Carmen telling Paolo and Angela that Big Abdul was going to free Abdul from his sex-induced stupidity; Mally's dine-and-dash; and Brat sobbing over luxury apartments she'll never have.
On to today…
Irene, Diego, and Natalia arrive at Casa Tad for dinner. Elena happily announces that Tad's in his studio…painting! Irene goes to check on him, but he won't show her what it's working on. She giddily announces that Nat is THEIRS, as confirmed by the DNA test results. On a less-happy note, she confronted Vicente already and he denied any wrongdoing, as usual. Tad vows to make him pay, but he's got a tight deadline to accomplish that. Irene calms him down, but she still wants to take her sweet time telling Natalia that she's their daughter. Tad agrees to put his dreams of seeing Vicente behind bars on hold for the sake of Nat's delicate sensibilities.
Mara's mom is a crappy patient. Even the nurse tells Mami Dearest to back the hell off and let her tired daughter get five minutes of rest. Mami Dearest accuses Mara of abandoning her.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 7/7/14 (#130): The TAY* of the Hurricane
It's the pause in the middle of the storm that makes you think everything's back to normal and it's safe to go outside. Then the wind whips up again and you get zapped by a loose power line.
Here is the condensed version. Discuss:
- Even though Lupita claims to be disappointed in MA, Carmelita notices she hasn't taken off her ring yet. Lupita gives her blessing to Carmelita's relationship with Chuy.
- Gwendy figures out that Nepo is embarrassed to be seen with her in public, especially around the Menchacas, because he doesn't think she's as classy as Lupita. She fights with him for being a coward and goes home in tears.
- Chuy picks up Carmelita for their date, but they are so awkward and nervous that it's almost a relief when Gwendy shows up distraught before they can leave Carm's place. Chuy goes home alone, and Carmelita tries to comfort Gwendy.
- We catch a glimpse of Mini's father in a large portrait on the wall. I'm sure there's a joke there. Is this an actor we should recognize? A relative of one of the actors? The director?
