La Gata #11 - Mon 9/15 - La Correspondencia
Please don't go, Pablo! Well, he's going, and he intends to send Gata money and have her join him in New York. No worries--his dad will help. Gata suggests, since there are so many more jobs there, she can just go with him now and start working. But nooooooo, Pablo and his misguided pride need to do it on his own. What about staying and letting Gata provide for him? Pablo and his misguided pride need to do it on his own.
Carrrrlos comes looking for Virginia and thankfully, when she pulls up in front of the house, she's alone!
Gata cries in Fela's lap about Pablo leaving. Fela is sure he's never coming back, 'cause that's what dudes do. They say they'll come back, but they just leave you lonely and it drives you crazy. She flashes back to sitting with Silencioso, sans beard, in the living room of Casa Negrete, which was far less decorated than it is now, with the baby, and having Silencioso dragged out. Fela thinks it's better to be crazy and take her baby doll out for a walk. Well, sure, when reality sucks this bad…screw it!
The chauffeur is a little worried about leaving Virginia alone with Carrrrrlos, but he has more loyalty to her and Pablo than he does to Lorenza, so he has no problem leaving her for five minutes while he drives the car around the block. Carrrrrrrlos couldn't wait to see her again--harpy of a mother be damned! Virginia just beams.

Skipping the old and right into the new....
Luisa comes in asking what that man is doing in her kitchen and to her soup. Acacia and Ulises walk in wondering what all the yelling is about. Ulises introduces Arturo to Luisa and she stops her yapping. They leave and Rosa wants to know what is up with her.
Dr. Andres has invited Carmen to lunch. She wants to keep it professional but he says he's to old to be running after her. He straight up wants something more. She agrees.
Lunch is finishing and Luisa comes in to take the plates away and does it noisily and rudely. Cris goes after her and says Acacia told her she had a incident with her classmates. Next time come to her. It is her responsibility to watch out for her. You know how much I care for you and think of you as a member of the family. Please have confidence in me. Luisa doesn't want her grandmother to find out what happened. Cris tells her to have more confidence in her grandmother. Esteban walks in and says they have to go. They are going to take care of some wedding stuff. Ulises, Arturo and Acacia come in and Arturo tells Luisa goodbye. If there is anything she needs help with, to count on him. She thanks him but prefers to go at it alone. Ulises kisses Acacia goodbye. Acacia wants to know why Luisa treated Arturo rudely. Luisa realizes that in order to get ahead she can only count on herself. Except Cris paid for your schooling sweetcheeks. Just pointing that out.

Mi Corazón es Tuyo #41, Lunes 9/15/14 #41: Who Let the Dogs IN?
Lascuráin
Mansion: Fernando decided to lay down the law to Sebastián,
grabbing his arm as he told him they were going to talk in the
library. Neither he nor Sebastián nor Alicia noticed this, but
Hissabela was gloating the whole time when Fernando played through
the second act of “Wait 'till Your Father Gets Home.” The boy
was clearly intimidated and Alicia watched in near disbelief.
Hissabela finally distracted the girl by suggesting they go upstairs
to try on the dress for her quinceñera.

The She-dog Shows Her Fangs #40, 9/13/14
After overhearing Ana’s admission to Fanny that she is attracted to him, Diego sneaks off all smiles, giving himself a mental(?) high-five. Ana senses that somebody’s overheard her and Fanny’s girly chatter but is too late to catch the culprit. More slumber party activity ensues.
The next morning at breakfast, Jennifer tells Dana she’s got to get another job to help pay back the money Ana borrowed from Don Doroteo to pay for her cancer operation and therapy. She refuses to ask Don Nicolas for the cash, but accepts Dana’s suggestion to at least ask him to help her find a job. And, of course, Don Nico comes through for her. He’s got a buddy/client? that’s got a shop fixing luxury cars. He’ll get the guy to give her a job—as a mechanic???? (More likely as a receptionist, but either way, unless it’s high class hooking, dealing drugs or winning the Irish Sweepstakes, there’s no way in Hell Jens is ever gonna to pay off that kind of loan in this life or the next!)

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #20: 9/12/14: Dinners At the Ripoll House Never Go Well. Greta Tells Sofia What To Do, Or Else, Missy
Hola Amiguis! My computer has a virus, so I had to get a loaner from a friend. Here is an earworm. The Worst That Can Happen Shall we begin?
Our very wonderful Matthias is making the chocolates. He is mixing and stirring and working his tail off and the end relsult? Perfection! The poor guy is so tired he takes a seat and goes to sleep. He has a dream about winning Maestro for best chocoltier in the world. The guard comes and wakes him up and accuses him of being drunk. Matthias says shut your mouth, well, not that, but the alcohol he smells went into that wonderful chocolate bon bons he just made. He goes.
Sofia and Pato are together and she smoochies him. They are looking at those pics of Alexa. She ends up liking them and now it's on to dinner. Sofia does bring up the fact it's time to find a new Maestro. She hits on the idea that Matthias would be perfect because after all he was the Maestro's disciple. Pato isnt' so sure, and we know why dont' we? No Maestro and Ripoll goes down the tubes. He doesn't want to think about all this right now.

Labels: telenovelas, weekend
La Malquerida, capitulo 15. 09/12/14. Love and sexy time are in the air.
We start off with Cris and Esteban declaring their love for each other as they start the dance of love.
German gets onto Manuel for pushing Alejandra into the pond and to leave. German and Ulises go off for towels. Acacia understands that Ale doesn't want to show her scar but she is among friends.
Cris walks out of the bathroom happy as can be. Esteban follows. Cris is happy that their passion for each other is the same as the very first day. He tells her how much he loves to touch her and smell her perfume. He says he loves her more everyday and they start round two.
German and Ale talk about the incident. He calls his brother and idiot again. She doesn't want him to fight with Manuel over what happened. He leans in for a kiss but doesn't get to far as she pulls away. He knows she just wants to be friends but he fell in love with her.
Acacia and Ulises are cuddling in the pond. She tells him that Ale is very private and doesn't like to talk about herself. He says she's not only the best girl but also a good friend. They start smooching. She pulls away and he admits he wants to make love to her.

La Gata #10 9/12/14 La Separación
I'm going to have to make this short and sweet. My laptop was acting up earlier this week, so I pulled out my old one and now that one is acting up. I just want to get this up and hope the laptop doesn't explode while I'm at it. I'm really sorry about all the issues I seem to have.
- Not-so-Ernesto (thanks, Susanlynn!) threatens Albecinia (or whatever her name is.) If she keeps advising Esme on how to avoid his pervy attentions, he's going to send her to the archives. He thinks she's jealous of the young hotties.
- Pablo is cute, but dumb. He actually has the nerve to ask Monica to help him convince his parents to let him be with Emse. Bless his heart. Monica refuses.
- Lorenza continues to try to impose her will on Pablo and calls him a mal hijo. She tells him again it's family or Esme.
- Esme does indeed get fired after the jealous wife catches not-so-Ernesto making the moves on our feline heroine. Poor thing! She was completely innocent!
- Pablo and Virginia talk about Esme and Carlos. How did these two end up so nice???
- Emeralda wants Damian's help in registering for school.

Hasta El Fin del Mundo #19: 9/11/14: Pato's Mis Planes Continue and Lucas is One Lucky Boy!
Hola Amiguis. Due to a snafu, there was no recap for Wednesday, so I am going to briefly go over important points from that capitulo and then continue on with Thursday's recap. Here's the earworm.Aint No Sunshine.
Shall we begin?
Wednesday:
The producer of that Chica Ripoll campaign likes Armie. She wants to know if he has ever modeled, would he like to model, he is flattered but won't. He's married.
The school principal calls the Ripoll House and the maid gives the phone to Greta, who promptly blows a gasket. Dani is not in school, skipped school. Greta yells for Fausto. Seems Chava dropped Dani off, watched her go into the school and then left. So now this is Fausto's fault. He and his freewheeling method of dealing with the girls, but especially Dani. Poor Fausto looks so bereft. Greta calls Dani's cell phone and leaves a voice mail that says come home now or else. Poor Dani is outside the police station crying. When Dani gets home, Greta chews her out and she's grounded and no cell phone or computer. She is confined to her room to study. Dani has just lost all her teen lifelines.
Chava goes to the police station and pays Lucas a visit. Chava pulls out the medallion. Lucas tells him it's his. Seems that his Papa won this medal for boxing. Lucas never knew his Papa, and this is all he has. Chava says how alike they are in many ways. Chava goes to visit the Commandante and finds out that all Lucas needs to be released from the hoosegow is for Sofia to drop the charges. Chava will pass it on to Sofia.
Sofia is going over the Ripoll campaign pictures with Alexa, Pato, and Silvana. Everyone likes them but Sofia, she feels they are a bit riskee so to speak. Now on to Thursday:
Sofia isn't liking these pics.

Mi corazon es tuyo, #39, Thursday, Sept.11th The worst father in the world prize goes to Fernando Wimp Lascurain
Yesterday we left Ana and Fernando talking on the phone. She asked Diego to call his brother because she wanted to tell him about Sebastian’s problems at school. But before she could start talking about the son, they got into a fight and Ana hung up.
Today…
Fer calls back immediately and
Ana finally tells him that Sebas is failing 5 of his classes and he’s very
rude, so much that she simply can’t control him anymore. Isa overhears part of
the conversation and she is furious, of course. Fer asks to talk to Sebas, so
Diego takes the phone upstairs to the kid’s bedroom.
Sebas is listening to music on
his headphones and refuses to talk to his father. Fer orders him to pick up,
but Diego doesn’t think that would be a good idea. Fer doesn’t care about
Diego’s advice, what could Diego know about raising kids? (Apparently more than
you do, idiot!) He asks his brother to put Ana back on the phone.
In the meantime, downstairs Ana
is chatting with Nando, who came home upset because his novia, Ximena, has been
around the block. Ana tells him that her past shouldn’t matter to him, that he
should think about the future and living a beautiful present together. Then she
asks him to close his eyes and try to picture what he sees in his heart when he
thinks of Ximena. Well, all he sees is her, because he loves her so much.

La Malquerida #14: 9/11/14: Intrigue and Machinations, Oh, My!
Hola Amiguis! What is going on at the Hacienda Benavente? A ton of intrigue and Norbie is up to something with Dany. Want to know more? Please read one. Here's an earworm. I Can't Get Next To You
Shall we begin:
Listen you cowardly swine, put Ale's picture away. We are sick of seeing you holding it like it's some sort of treasure. Our eyes just can't take it anymore. I wish a rock from the Devil's Pass would fall on your skanky head. You have been warned. Next!!!!!!
Jules is still questioning Norbie from yesterday about what happened the day that Alonzo had his accident at the Devil's Pass? Jules wants the truth, and it better be good, well not that, but she wants the truth. It's about all his hankering after that Hacienda Benavente and those lands, "that should have been his" in his own words, years ago. Of course he dodges and doesnt' answer.

La Gata #9 - Thu 9/11 - La Despedida
Sure enough, the gossipy maid tells Lorenza that Virginia is following in Pablo's footsteps and the entire populace of La Barranca is going to invade. Lorenza interrupts Virginia at the piano to forbid her from seeing Centavito. (Mr. 5ft: "No problem! I can't see.")
Pablo interrupts his father at work to tell him that…kids grow up and form their own ideas…and he's in love with Esmeralda…and it doesn't matter what her current last name is, because Pablo's going to make her a Martinez Negrete. He wants to marry her ASAP since she won't take any money from him without being married to him.
Virginia, once again, overhears a nasty argument from her room upstairs and heads out to see what's going on. Even Lorenza can hear him screaming at Pablo that he chose the "right" woman… one with money…and no, he wasn't "lucky" to fall in love with her, he just chose a woman who was at his level. In the foyer, Lorenza waves the cook back to the kitchen and stands by Virginia. Mr. Lorenza refuses to help Pablo find a job and doesn't want to hear another word out of him unless it's to tell him that he's getting married to Monica or some other twit who comes from money.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #38, 10 Sep 2014... Witch Mother moves in the house and acts all entitled... Bruno and Manuela start suffering... Fer and IsaBruja are enjoying their honey-gloom...
Refrito:
At Mansion:
Diego trying to convince Ana that Nico will understand her situation and won’t cause trouble with Fer. Ana not so sure. Diego even offers to carry her and take her in his bike… she passes on the first, takes his offer on the latter. She does not want to be too late so Ino-Doro won’t cause her more trouble.
At club:
Nico arrives, Dana (Jen’s friend) greets him. Diego joins them… tells Nico ‘wait till you see THE show’. At dressing room, Ana checks on Jen and her treatments. Ana is doing ok… Jen is getting some skin discoloration. Still bringing up the subject of ‘that which has no remedy’ (her not being able to have kids)
At Cozumel (I will be there in Nov as a stop in a cruise trip) Isa is doing her best to seduce Fer… he seems to be willing and follows along, even though the one doing all the ‘love you’ talking is IsaBruja.
(CUT!!! Fer sees an image of Ana very nicely dressed, questioning his having told her 'I love you’ vs what he is doing now)
Isa tries to get him to come back to earth… he asks her for a moment… he is a bit ‘out of it’. And spits his favorite word of late… ‘perdoname’. (sorry). Then he walks away… Isa is a bit confused, a bit miffed.
At Club:
Ana talks on microphone… says her true name, instantly calling Nico’s attention. Nico is in disbelief. Diego tells Jen ‘no worries, I talked to Ana ‘bout this’. Ana confirms to Nico it is the one and only… She tells the crowd that here is a person she admires and respects… and even asks for an applause for Nico. Then she mentions that Jennis just came out of a serious illness ‘I love you sis!’ and then she tells the crowd that she twisted her ankle… but she will give the audience her best effort… welcome to Chicago!
Jen explains to Nico that she could not tell him that she and Ana have known each other a long time… Jen asks Nico for forgiveness for the little lie…’I will think about it’ (but with a wide smile on his face).
Ana does her show, this time it is Diego who does not miss a beat of it (Fer did it a while back) and she is better than ever… very high on the pole, upside down and spinning around on her legs… Even Ino-Doro is very pleased with her performance tonight.

La Gata #8 9/10/14- La Propuesta
Wednesday is supposed to be just a discussion header, but like Kat last week I can't bring myself to just post a header. Too much happened tonight!!! Unfortunately, I'm a lazy son of a gun and it's not a full recap. Just bullets (some of which I wish were real. I'd aim them right between Rita's eyes. Old hag.)
- The Meatball (El Italiano) is wrestled to the ground by Esme and Pablo. Luckily no one is shot. El Italiano leaves in a huff. He yells at Rita because he still can't have his Gata (my mind is in the gutter right now.)
- Pablo goes off somewhere and Mariano takes the opportunity to tell Esme that Pablo actually has a girlfriend already and it's Monica. Of course this upsets me..er..Esme terribly and she begins to cry (while I curse the TV.) Mariano then decides to tell her he was just kidding. He needed to see how much she really cared about his bro. So not cool.
- Later Mariano tells Lorenza that Pablo and Esme are the real deal. Lorenza confronts Pablo. It's either La Gata or his family. Pablo will choose Esme of course. That evening, Lorenza monologues. If that girl wants war, war she'll get! We'll see who wins!
- Lorenza gives Monica tips on how to win Pablo.
- Pablo misses a play date with Esmeralda. Esme is filled with doubt.

La Gata #7 9/9/14- La Amenaza
I had to attend a reception at hubby's office tonight. Luckily, we were able to make a quick appearance and get the heck out of dodge. I'm kind of beat though, so I just watched the episode and this is by no means a complete and "in order" recap. Please fill in the gaps.
La Pelea
While Esmeralda is supposed to be getting coffee for El Italiano, she catches Ines making out with El Garabato (El Doodle.) The two girls get into a huge cat fight. Esmeralda tries to warn Doña Rita that Ines is going to end up sleeping with El Doodle. Does it surprise anyone that Rita takes Ines's side? Rita throws La Gata out of the jacal. Esmeralda spends the night looking for shelter and monologue-ing to her long lost father. She is sure that he is out there somewhere and will return to take care of her. Later, Esmeralda returns and begs to be let back into the hovel. Ines makes her apologize. I seriously cannot wait for Rita's and Ines's anvils. They cannot fall fast enough. Not to mention the Italiano's glee at La Gata being out on the street. Surely this will drive her into his arms and she will be his? Bleeecchh.

limitless sin and never-ending debauchery.
Although their positions change quite often, the theme of the
conversation remains constant. It's all
about the downfall of the Sofia and the Ripoll Factory. Silvana gets Patrick to admit that his plans
are to marry Sofia so that he can bankrupt Ripoll. Somewhere during the missionary position, Silvana
declares her love for him. Patrick makes
it very clear to Silvana that she’s just a “side piece”. It’s just sex between them. She’s OK with that.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #16 9/8/14 Silvana makes her move
Hello Everyone! Before we get to the recap I thought I'd share something cute:
A couple of years ago two peacocks and a peahen showed up on my farm. We think they saw the chickens and the ducks, thought the place looked good and decided to stay. Last year the peahen hatched 5 chicks. As soon as the babies appeared the two peacocks took off and we haven't seen them since. I guess peacocks are deadbeat dads. This past June, the peahen laid 6 eggs. Since there were no males around the eggs weren't fertile. She sat on that nest of eggs for weeks and weeks! I thought she would eventually give up, but she never did. I felt sorry for her, so one day when she was off the nest eating, I slipped in three duck eggs. Even though she had already been there for weeks she stayed on the nest for another month and hatched two ducklings! Unfortunately she lost one of them but she is raising the other one and it is doing just fine. She must wonder why her baby likes to hang around the water dish and the duckling must wonder why mom roosts at night instead of laying on the ground. But they are cute together and lots of fun to watch.
On to the recap!
From Friday:
Chava talks to Sofia after Alexa's meltdown.
Irma tells Lupe' she's leaving Armando and taking Nandito with her.
Armando talks to Alexa in the car.
Silvana arrives at Pato's Playhouse. Her shirt arrives moments later.

La Gata #6 - Mon 9/8 - La Tormenta
Gata got a job selling lottery tickets. Centavito got a job washing cars at a parking lot. High fives! They joke about how Centavito showers every day and Gata showers more often since Pablo started giving her soap and shampoo, but she tries not to use a lot so she doesn't run out.
Pablo's dad gives him a lecture on how to be a proper snob. Pablo says he thinks he's starting to understand. His dad is thrilled and moves on to talking about Lorenza's desire for a Pablo-Monica union. Pablo keeps the innocently bland look on his face and his dad never notices he's being mocked.
Gata has found Principe. Crisis averted! No sign of Doña Rita, though. Too bad, so sad. La Gata and Centavito work on setting out various things to catch the rain. Centavito doesn't think Rita's on the level about begging for money. He thinks something else is going on.
Pablo's dad keeps going on until Pablo can't take it anymore and calls it illogical. Pablo says he'll make his own marriage choices, thank you very much. And Papi threatens to withdraw his financial support. Well, Pablo's heart is no whore, so that's not going to work.
Pablo worries about Gata in the rain.

La Malquerida, capitulo 11. 09/08/14. Acacia and Ulises make up; Sightings! Bare chested men.
Skipping the old and right into the new.....
Luisa is none to happy that El Rubio will be driving her to and from school. He probably asked el patron to do the honors. But if that's how he wants it, fine. She doesn't have to talk to him during the drive.
Esteban decides to forget the wedding at the church. If she were to leave now, it would destroy her mother. Cris is happy that she is finally accepting Esteban, even if just a little. Or perhaps she is pretending for her mother's sake. He thought she finally accepted him. He's hurt and starts to walk away. Acacia calls him back and says she really does accept him now. She wants to say more, but Cris interrupts. Cris wants to know if they are going riding, but Acacia begs off. She's not feeling it and suggests they go alone.
German aka big sexy is getting unfortunately dressed when Juliana walks in. Big sexy informs his mom that he got back the blanket he let Alejandra borrow and will take it to get cleaned. Juliana doesn't want it anymore and tells him to throw it away. She's concerned about his little relationship with that girl. She's not happy he returned early this morning. Big sexy says he just bought some new canvases and was painting all night. Juliana questions if he's telling the truth. Of course it's the truth says big sexy. Alejandra is a great girl. Sweet and respectable. Juliana relents and says they win. Norberto wants Alejandra at the hacienda and in the office. But she wants him to find out more about her, especially her inheritance.

Mi Corazón es Tuyo Lunes 9/8/14 #36
Prologue
Mount
Olympus: The ancient gods usually content themselves with
sitting back and watching human comedies and tragedies play out as
though they were continuous live entertainment. However, upon
occasion a truly egregious situation comes to their attention and
they feel a need for action. One great enough that two goddesses
normally at odds with each other needed to speak.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS — Reina de Corazones: week of September 8, 2014 - PAGE ONE
Reinamaniacs are still reeling from the realization that Telemundo is cutting the heart out of our favorite show. Guys, if you haven’t already done so, please let Telemundo know how you feel about this. You can email them at this address:
Te.escuchamos@telemundo.com
Or you can express your opinion on Reina’s Facebook page or on Twitter.
What can I say? I find that a battle-scarred Reina is still more enjoyable than the rest of Telemundo’s primetime lineup and definitely more fun than anything Univisión is airing right now. ¡Ánimo! And keep those Crockpot Theories™ bubbling!

Alexa is in the backseat of that Mercedes and she's staying outside in the backseat for a while. This was her refuge when she was little and she found comfort there. Alexa wants to know what Armando thinks. Well, this will campaign will be in all the TV and Magazines.And besides, Actresses are always selling perfume and shampoo, famous ones at that. This might actually help her career. Alexa finally goes into the house and Greta asks about the limp. Alexa says she is okay and goes upstairs. She is really hobbling and wincing.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #35 León's secret is revealed, will there be Bodas Interruptus?
We begin where we left off yesterday, Diego is kissing Ana on the cheek with his back turned toward an open door as Fernando walks past and glances in. He pauses, thinks about what he’s seeing, it looks like it could be a kiss on the mouth, but realizes he has to move on, and moves on.
Ana finally pushes him away, happy? no he’d be more happy with (elbow jab, elbow jab) but she tells him he’s going to be late for his trip to... to Paris, he says, the city of love, and then on to Bombay. Now called Mumbai, get it right writers! He tells her he’s going to think about her the whole time he’s gone, then he’s gone. She thinks about that. Is she pleased about that? We can’t tell by her expression.
Jenny is recovering in the hospital and crying on Nico’s shoulder, not literally. She mourns the idea that she will never have a baby. Nico does his best to console her.
As Diego is leaving, he runs into Fer who is surprised he’s leaving, but he does seem to have a smile on his face. Diego tells him he’s going for 2 weeks and tells Bruno to take care of Anita. They leave together.

Weekend Discussion: What Are Novelas Teaching Viewers?
Some recent discussions are provoking this question. What are viewers learning from novelas and what are they meant to learn instead?
La Malquerida is treading into some dangerous territory regarding misogyny and incest, La Gata is perhaps more heavily into class-consciousness than any of the others, and Mi Corazon es Tuyo shows us a large family about to explode over a marriage contracted for the wrong reasons which will have a domino effect on everyone in the entire household. Since that series is popular in Mexico we can anticipate a long period during which a wicked stepmother will reign supreme over a previously controlling (but loving) father. Nothing new, but this will be the largest-scale example to date.
What effect do you think this has and what should be instead? Sound off, amigos.

La Maquerida #10, 9/5/14: Fake Courtships, Fantasy Lovers, and Really Real Marriages
Gloria has a busy weekend, so I am filling in for her today.
Read more »
El Refrito:
Luisa tells her Abuela Rosa that she’s going to school to
become a chef, and Cristina is paying for it, as long as Luisa gets good
grades. Granny blows a gasket, yells about the shame of asking la Patrona for a
handout, and forbids it!
Cris is feeling fine and frisky and tells bare-chested
Esteban that she wants to make love until dawn. He’s up for that, leans in for
a kiss, comes up for air, and sees step-daughter Acacia standing in front of
him instead of his wife!
Lo Nuevo:
After a few beats, and looking like he’s seen a ghost, Este
is seeing Cris again, but the mood has totally been killed. He begs off, saying
he’s tired. Cris takes him to the bed and gives his very tense back a massage.
Luisa explains to Granny that it’s not that she’s ashamed of
where she comes from, she just wants to improve herself. She has that right!
Granny agrees—but only if she works for it; not having people give it to her.
Luisa explains that she will work and pay Cris back once she starts her career.
Luisa wishes her parents hadn’t died, because she knows THEY would have
supported her. Grandma has heard enough. She slaps Luisa and stalks out of the
bedroom!
Luisa is a FAR better child than I am, because instead of
being ticked off, she finds Grandma in the kitchen, crying over her tea, and
apologizes for what she said. Grandma says she misses her daughter, who was
intelligent like Luisa and gave her lots of headaches, but also brought her
much joy. She explains that her fear is that Luisa is going to school for all
the wrong reasons—those reasons being Manuel “Manolo” Palacios, aka El Joven
Palacios. Luisa admits he is one of the reasons, but she’s mainly doing it for
herself. Grandma finally agrees to give Luisa her blessing, and the two hug it
out. Luisa begs her not to cry. Grandma says her tears are all she has left,
because she knows Luisa will eventually leave her (way to lay on the guilt
trip, Granny). Luisa assures her that even if she leaves, she will never stop
caring for her or loving her.
Acacia is visiting Alejandra in her new pad. They discuss
the Ulises-Manolo situation. Acacia feels torn because she loves Manolo, but
she’s IN LOVE with Ulises. Alejandra is sorry that Ulises turned out to be a
lying, violent bastard, like ALL men. Acacia doesn’t want to talk about it anymore,
so Ale asks about how things are going with her stepdad. Acacia happily reports
that things are going well. Ale is glad because she feels that Este is good peeps.
Acacia feels she needs to make the effort to get along with Este, because he’s
the perfect man for her mother…and an ideal father.

La Gata #5 - Friday 9/5/14 La Promesa
Parte 1
El Refrito
Read more »
El Refrito
- Los madres make plans for world domination
- El director will try to get El Silencioso's pardon.
- El Pablo loves La Gata.
Lo Nuevo
La Rita tells Jarocha that she found out La Gata can read and write. Jarocha does't see how that's a problem. Well Rita didn't take the kid in to act all finolis (hoity toity), she took her in so she could help. Jarocha gives Rita heck again for making Gata and Centavo go out and beg while she and Inesita live the life. Rita says Inesita was was born to study. That girls burns the midnight oil with her studying (hilariously rendered in Spanish as quemar las pestañas--to burn one's eyelashes.) Speaking of school, Inesita is home from said institution...before the dismissal apparently. Rita asks about her early arrival and Inesita explains she can't go back until Rita talks to the director. The teachers don't like her. They failed her in 5 subjects. They don't teach anything. (Yeah, we're purposely obtuse because we don't want anyone to learn and we live for parent conferences in which we are blamed for all the woes of the child.) Rita will go down to the school and give them a piece of her mind. Read more »

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #14: 9/4/14: Who Is Really In Charge At Ripoll?
Hola Amiguis! Who is really running Ripoll Chocolates you ask? I think I know, I have a Crack Pot Theory. Read on to find out. Here is a little earworm. Maneater
Shall we begin?
Lupe is teaching Marisol how to Tango. I loved that they used an old record. You can hear the scratches as it plays.
Alexa and Pato are discussing her money problems and the La Chica Ripoll revival. Alexa is of a mind not to do it, when her phone rings. She goes to the bathroom to answer and it's that darn Alan of course. He wants that money or he'll talk to Sofia. Alexa looks sick. We'll get back to her in a tic.
We left Sofia and Chava at the restaurant discussing his life. He tells her about how racing is his thing and he tells her about the day of the sabotage. He is so into it, he does the hand motions, like he is back to that day, in that smoking car. Sofia is transfixed. Chava tells her one day he will win the Cup for a race. Chava says their lives are so different, but filled with coindencidences.
Lucas is out with the bad dude watching in a car. A bidnez man has come to his car and the tire is flat. Lucas and that bad dude watch as the bidnez man, goes to the other side of the car and changes the tire. While he is doing that, Lucas opens the drivers side door, the guy doesn't see him and jacks his wallet and Lucas goes.
Armando is down with Mattias on the factory floor. Armando has one of those get ups on. Silviana see him and likes what she sees. She also likes his attitude.
Alexa is in the bathroom and is looking mighty ill. Silvana stops there and asks if she is okay. Alexa looks like she is having a panic attack. Alexa says she's fine. It seems that Alexa might be accepting Pato's offer. She goes looking for Armando.
Pato is in his office when Silvana turns up. He says he is a genious! This idea for the revival of La Chica Ripoll. Pato says he has the Ripoll family where he wants them. Does he remind you of anyone? How about Pinky and the Brain? Pato is Pinky and Silvana is the Brain. See you know how Keebler have those little elves.

The Enemy Advances
Cap 34
Ana forces Diego to retrieve her confession letter. “—You owe me! You OWE me!” He races into Fernando’s bedroom and grabs the paper out of his brother’s hands. I don’t want you to read this! It’s a letter asking forgiveness. I apologize for that with Ana in the library.” But Ferd really wants to read the letter. Di stuffs it into his mouth and eats it. Problem solved.
Diego races back to Ana’s bedroom and tells her mission accomplished. He gave his brother some cock-n-bull story and no, he didn’t have a chance to read the letter because his innards are digesting it as they speak. He ATE the thing! They grouse about whose fault it was until she tries kicking him out of her room so she can get to bed. He tells her she should be grateful and eventually show him how grateful—a good-night kiss would do for starters. She slams the door on him and he is totally smitten. He giggles to himself. “How adorable!”

La Gata #4 - Thu 9/4 - La Poesía
Pablo has a hard time capturing the special sparkle in Esmeralda's eyes with his mere mortal drawing skills. He agrees to let her have the picture and they awkwardly get back to the planned reading lesson for the day. He even cardboard sleds with her. Such is the power of her sparkly eyes.
El Silencioso hangs out in his spacious single cell and daydreams about running around with Erika Buenfil and snuggling with a little baby. He vows revenge, for his family.
Esmeralda continues struggling to read Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" while I frown in Pablo's general direction. She's still having trouble with the actual words…wouldn't something less abstract be easier? I can't find the section she's reading…something about spring arriving and soft breath…anyone know what it is?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of September 1, 2014 - PAGE TWO
Hola Reinamaniacs, the Crockpot Theories™ are bubbling away with more than 140 comments for the first three capitulos of this week. So here is your page two. In response to Novelera's question on Page One, here is an updated list of Navier's perils to date. Enjoy the rest of this week!
The Perils of the Dragon or, It's Hard being Navier
shot twice in back on Victor's orders;
beaten by guards in prison;
knocked out when Reina was kidnapped;
shot in leg rescuing Reina w/fever complications;
shot (graze only) while in shower with Reina;
forcibly sedated on orders of Esmeeth;
knocked out by Izzy and pinned by falling beam in fire;
shot in shoulder by Fico;
poisoned by coffee laced with heart-attack flu virus;
involved in roll-over car crash (no injuries); and
shot by Reina but was wearing a bullet-proof vest - no injury
thrown out of window onto van
So the grand total of times Navier has been shot so far anyway is 5 if you count the graze in the shower! And never a scar to be seen on his lovely bod.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #13
Sofia is missing her shoe and Chava has a uh oh. He is scurrying and helping her look for it. They go to buy another pair of shoes in the interim.
Alexa and Greta have a heart to heart; Greta isn't clothes-minded. She was young once! Alexa lets it out that she is 6 months behind on her rent. Greta subtly blows a gasket and Alexa then says that is exactly why she didn't want to tell her. Alex says she has a lot to tell and it will never end; Greta can't help her. Alexa doesn't wanna face Sofia and ask for help monetarily.
Chava and Sofia talk about the call she made to him the other day; it was accident. Chava is OK with that since he was filled with glee and he is glad he met her.
Silvie was called in by Pat and she sees he has left info pertaining to the DNA test he has in store against Sofi. Silvie thinks Pat is behaving strangely when he gets a call from the mansion.
Sofi is in such a rush she opened the door herself and as she scurries off, Chava compliments her new shoes; he know he must find the missing shoe.
Over the phone, Greta is making a deal with Pat pertaining to Alexa.
Silvie is remembering that Pat and a stranger went to Maestro's house and knows something is up.
Alexa and Greta discuss their woes and such some more.
Fausto and Dani are discussing the woe of the stolen dress.
Lucas is playing the guitar when Miguelina come in and she asks about the wonderful job he said he had; you said things would be different! Miguelina has a Dona Mati and talks about how she is close to dying and he needs to be independent.
Chava drives around looking for the shoe; lo and behold, he found it? No, it's a dirty shoe he gallantly throws in the recycling bin.
Pat comes to Silvie and they discuss Alexa as the Chica Ripoll. Silvie claims she grew.
As he brings things in for her, Greta is lecturing Armie on art and she said art critics are boring. IrkMe has called him BUT he ignores it (who wouldn't?) and goes to bring more things upstairs.
Chava has successfully found the shoe!
IrkMe is angrily lamenting that Armie doesn't answer her calls. As he brings more packages, the phone rings and Greta says if he doesn't anwer the phone, someone is going to suffer an anxiety attack! He ignores it and Greta throws her 2 cents in; she says IrkMe must be demanding or jealous.
Sofi and Chava are a hoot once more.
IrkMe is leaving a message; forgive me babe.
Armie and Greta talk about how he isn't a cheater; Greta says he is a stand-up guy and Alexa is gorgeous. She can see why his wife would be jealous.
Chava lets a little white lie about how he found it; he was pricked by the heel while finding it in the car LOL.
Alexa asks Armie to take her to the Ripollery and he is skeptical at first but is reassured and happ to oblige.
Dani gets a call from Lucas and then a text; Risitas Hablamos. Fausto comes in stating dinner is ready. Would you like to eat downstairs or up? 'Niela asks Fausto for advice for a friend who is really her. Fausto recommends her "friend" help the boy and not to get mad if things don't work out because she is really trying to help him. He will bring her food up so her HomeWork groove isn't interrupted.
Lucas at work with his mobster boss.
Chava awaits outside for Sofi who is in a restaurant; she calls Chava to tell him to come in with her.
IrkMe sees Armie driving by with Alexa in the car. He helps her out and the sentimental music kicks in while Alexa walks into the Ripollery.
Matty catches Silvie and lets her know one of the machines is having difficulties when he is preempted by Alexa. Matty hits on Alexa and then he lets Silvie know about the machine for real this time and she says leave a memo; he gets a hit off of her sardonicism.
Chava is inside with Sofi since a woman and her baby didn't come in (I'm guessing Sofi is looking for a new Chica Ripoll.) He is about to leave because of the subtle discomfort when she pulls him in and tells him to stay.
Matty finds Armie and thanks him for taking him home. That's what friends are for. He lets Armie about the machine and La Chica Ripoll.
Alexa is in Pat's evil lair and they wheel and deal. I don't have a good feeling about this.
Chava and Sofi politely get their grub on and he is overwhelmed by the abundance of utensils. Sofi advises him the least used ones are for the appetizer and the most used are for the entrée. Eat calmly. Chava asks if she would like to talk about anything and Sofi says she would like to hear about his life.
Lupe is looking for a CD and exclaims to Marisol she has found it! With that CD she can make kids, adults and something I didn't catch dance! She busts a move and in a silly way gets down with Marsiol (after shaking her head back and forth.)
Pat is laying it on thick that Alexa is grown and blossomed now. She says La Chica Ripoll isn't in her anymore and receives a call; it's Alan and he is being a jerk saying if he doesn't receive the money they need, he will tell Sofi everything!
(End of Capitulo)
Avances-
Sofi and Chava talk some more and he claims they're from 2 different worlds.
Armie saves Lexi from killing herself but she twists her ankle.
Lucas tries to steal from Sofi when Chava is right there and tells him to let it go.
IrkMe yells at Armie for bringing Alexa home and curing her ankle.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, # 33 03 Sep 2014 Diego gets the truth... Ximena gets a hug... IsaBruja gets a wedding gown and a nanny voo doo doll
Repeat of Fernando with his guilts, and Ana running after Diego; Diego angry as heck, but Ana convinces him to stay; Bruno’s rule ‘to live good, you better be quiet after seeing and listening… I am here for you, go ahead and let it go, open your heart’;
Fer: we have so much hidden anger, so many years, so many memories gathered since we were kids… and that which you know about, ended splitting us for good… of course I love my brother, it is not easy to admit that he has been away so long for my fault… you know Diego was always a free spirit, something neither my dad or I could understand.. (Bruno asks if they can accept him as he is now)
Diego tells Ana his story… since kids I was always compared to Fer… my dad was not like he is now.. he was strict, stubborn, very tough on me… Fer was always the boy scout, the one with perfect grades, my parents pride and joy… I was the rebel, the one that got suspended in school frequently, and when my mom died… my Don Nic Lasc found refuge in working… (Ana: and the story repeats itself, no?).. that is right… Fer took care of educating me and caring for me… but always scrutinizing me (senalandome).. I know he was doing it for my wellbeing, but I always felt belittled… until one day… I think the happiest day of my life… the most beautiful girl in the world… noticed me.. she noticed the imperfect one… she became my girlfriend… (where is she, Diego??) … she is in heaven, Ana… that woman…. Was Fanny, my brother’s wife… (no wonder you two had been separated for so long… and you said he took what you loved most?) Yes, and although relationships are for just two people… she chose him. My brother, Fernando, ended up the winner, as always. (Ana can’t believe Fer ‘took’ Diego’s girl).. Fanny was more than that, Ana.. She was the love of my life.
Fer continues his heart spill to Bruno…
Fer: I tried… I fought to rip that love from my heart… you know how much… but I couldn’t.
Dieg: I have never loved anyone like I loved her.
Bru: Estefania married you and gave you seven wonderful kids.
Fer: Yes, and… we destroyed Diego’s life.
Ana: Then Mrs Fanny…
Dieg: I made her a promise.
Lo Nuevo:
Ana thanks Diego for his honesty. He wants their relationship to begin with the truth. She has a double take… ‘our relationship?’ Diego insists that she should do the same and spill her soul to him. He would like to know what happened between her and Fer. She repeats, it was just a couple kiss and the typical story of the employee who falls for the boss… nothing really happened.
Nico arrives, and both Ana and Diego notice he is not well. He admits he needs them and tells them Jennifer broke up with him. He tells them Jennifer met another younger guy… Ana slips ‘that is not true’ but then backtracks her… The truth is Jennifer does care a whole lot about you. Diego agrees. Nico wonders what he will do without her.

• Fanny runs into Ana in the drive and informs her that DonFernando and Isabela’s wedding will be in three weeks. Ana re-enters the house and heads upstairs suffering a mild meltdown.
• Inside, a bit later, Fanny finds Tío Diego and Abuelo Nico looking at the basket of goodies that Isabellow’s naca mama, Yolanda, had sent over and has a belly laugh and a half. Nico admits to Diego that he's worried about his girlfriend--but that it's got nothing to do with his....um...virility.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #12 20140902 Twenty Women Compete for a Kiss from a Troll...I Didn't Know that this is a Science Fiction Novela
Chava and his mother are discussing Paco’s bad
attitude. Chava defends Paco and says
that he may have reasons for his disposition that they are not aware of. Chava tells his mother that he wants to
settle down and be faithful to one woman.
They are interrupted when he gets a phone call from Ceci.
Sophia lies on the couch with her head in Patricks’s lap (I
am going to move past this sentence quickly cuz’ there are so many places that
a mind can wander with it). Patrick rubs her head. Anyways, Sophia speaks of the red Book of
Secrets that is kept in the company safe.
Each year, Maestro transferred all of his recipes to it and burned the
previous year’s book. Patrick says that
Ripoll owes the company’s success to that book. Immediately after Sophia drifts off into a drug
induced sleep, Patrick gets down to work by plucking some of her hair out by
the root and places it in a baggie. With
this hair, I will soon have evidence that your mother was a tramp, says
Patrick to himself.

La Gata #2 Tuesday 9/2/14: La Pista Falsa
Right to the new!
Mariano (Pablo's brother) is going to the movies and he tells (not asks) mom to give him money. She's loaded! Mom says she's not made of money. He wouldn't have to beg for money for taxis if his mom would let his dad get him a car. The house has a chofer. "Yeah", the little twerp says "but he's always busy with the blind one or my brother." (Dude, that's your sister!) Little girl does't put up with crap. She'd rather be blind than a bad person like him. Go, girl!! Mariano wheedles--don't be coda (cheap), mom! He's got promises to keep. He asked this girl to the movies ....mil pesos should be enough. Mom comments that he's too young for cars and dates. She knows the movies don't cost that much. He wants to get the girl some ice cream, too. Mom mutters about her kids, one is spendthrift, one is caritativa (charitable) the other thinks he's St. Francis of Assisi. Next thing she knows he'll be filling the house with the gentuza (riff raff.)
Pablo calls Esmeralda a deer (gamo) because she slides so fast, but he has to explain the word. She kind of takes offense. He asks what he did and why she's mad. She tells him about his mom and how she treated her. Esmeralda explains that mom threatened to kick her off the property by force. Pablo is a little incredulous, but he agrees his mom was probably rude. Esme thinks his mom is a vieja estirada (stuck up old broad.....from last night's vocabulary.) Esmeralda tells Pablo his mother acts like poor people don't have the right to walk on the same ground she walks on. Pablo thinks Esme shouldn't think poorly of his mom. She's not that bad. Apparently he's the one who's blind. He doesn't think it's fair that Esme is mad at him for what his mother did. He says something about Rita. Esme thinks that's different because Rita is not her real mother. Esme doesn't have a mom, but she'd rather be alone than have a mom like his.

Hasta el Fin Del Mundo #11 9/1/14 Lies, Spies and Treachery
Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! The show is starting to heat up. Before we get started I have something just for Mads:
 |
I found Pato's cat. |
Let's get to it!
Lupe' cries over a photo of her and Javier the Dirtbag in happier days. Chava sees her tears and tells her to think of Javier as if he were dead.
"But he's not dead."
Chava realizes the truth, "So it's Javier that you've been seeing!"
Pato is on the phone with the DNA doctor. Peralta's right hand man, Renzi, comes into the restaurant. He listens in on the end of Pato's call.
"Yes, I can get samples. I'll bring them in tomorrow."
Pato ends the call and they bear hug. "Did you bring what I asked for?"
Renzi pulls a gadget from his inside pocket. "No door is closed to me."
Pato says it's time to go and heads out the door. Before Renzi leaves he picks up Pato's cup and finishes his coffee. I'm really surprised he didn't pocket the leftover pastries too. Just down the sidewalk Silvana watches them from behind a signboard. They get into a gray car. Silvana hails a cab and tells the driver to follow them.

La Malquerida, #6. 09/01/14.
Ulisses gets ready for his outing and Acacia drives up. He tries to kiss her hello but she pushes him away. She says she will never go anywhere with him now that she found out he wants to destroy the town park. I assure you that I will be the first to protest this. I don't know how much money you think you will gain, but realize that your project will never happen. Have you seen my plans asks Ulisses. No, and I'm not interested in anything that you have to say replies Acacia. I hate people who lie. Ulisses tells her to first take a look at his plans before throwing accusations.
Esteban gets onto Cris for allowing Acacia to see Ulisses.
Ulisses explains his green project to Acacia who quickly asks him to forgive her. She can't believe she caused all that drama and lost her chance with him. He comments on how beautiful she is when she's mad.

La Gata #1 - Mon 9/1 - La Introducción
We start out with some shots to establish the difference between our two protagonists and their worlds. Young Esmeralda drives her cart through La Barranca (The Canyon), then hangs out with some other kids, "sledding" down a hill on cardboard. Her shoelaces are pink, so you know she's spunky. Meanwhile, rich kid Pablo watches and wishes he could go hang out with the La Barranca kids. He's all dressed up in a suit with a plaid jacket and his room is decorated with soccer cutouts. His mom gives him a blessing before having the chauffeur drive him and possibly his brother to school. On the way, Pablo gets another look at Esmeralda, who's busy hauling around a black cat and fighting with a kid in the park for daring to call her "gatita" (little cat). Pablo is totally smitten with Esmeralda. It's probably the pink shoelaces. As his car drives off, Esmeralda has a conversation with the kid about wanting to catch a bird so it can sing. Her cat is named "Principe" (prince).
Her caregiver…and I mean that in only the most minimal sense…is Doña Rita, who's currently thrilled that some Italian guy finally let her read his cards, so she's scored some cash and a sammich. She has no intentions of sharing either. Not with La Gata and not with Centavito (little cent…I don't think we've met him yet). She says the pair of "vagonetas" (wagons) will need to bring in some cash in the afternoon so she and Inesita (no clue who that is yet) will have something to eat.

Mi Corazón es Tuyo Lunes 9/1/14 #31
Capitulo
31: I Got It Bad and That Ain't Good
Lascuráin
Mansion: In the library, Ana and Fernando had it out over her
attitude at the engagement party. She reasonably asked him how he
could expect her to feel after raising her hopes only to dash them
and throw her in the garbage because he's marrying Zerobela. [Not
to mention having to watch him propose to her. What Edith Wharton
would have made of this...] This caught his attention and he
started to apologize, but she stopped him. She continued to address
him with formality. She had begun to cry but wiped away the tears,
saying that work is work and other things are another matter. She
said she is staying because she loves his children. “They need me
and I need the work so you won't have any more problems with me.”
She started to leave but he pulled her back and tried to explain his
feelings. She wasn't interested. “We have to accept that you are
marrying Isabela and having a baby with her. That's that.”

Master Disaster Engagement Dinner—Or Troth and Consequences
Master Disaster Engagement Dinner—Or Troth and Consequences
CAP 30
The guests breathlessly await Don Fernando’s proposal to Isa-bunintheoven-bela. It’s as if nobody that’s anybody there can honestly believe he’s going through with this numskull and muy but muy passé, aka archaic, idea of marrying the woman simply because she was dumb/careless/naive enough not to use birth control. (Yes, I do marvel at a 21st century Super Brainiac Bidnezwoman in her thirties, with x-number of advanced degrees, not using birth control of some sort--especially when purposely seducing a handsome, successful bidnezman--if not to trap the sorry SOB into marriage. Duh, Telerisa!) Anyway, reluctantly DonFerd does his duty. Bela blares out a repetitiously resounding “¡Sí,sí,sí!” to everyone’s dismay. (ITA with Yo mama Yolanda—“Enough already! We heard ya the first set of Sí’s!)

Skipping the old and right into the new...
Acacia, Manuel and Luisa walk up to the river and reminisce about old times. He takes off his shirt and wants to get into the water. Luisa doesn't want him to throw her in the water like when they were kids. He chases her around.
Cris asks how the kids are doing. Everything is well now that German has agreed to run the hacienda. Norberto is so happy. Cris thinks Norberto should know that German is still painting.
Esteban silently gallops up to Acacia who some weird reason decides to change her clothes in the middle of the forest for all to see. He gazes at her nude body at a way no stepfather ought to.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #9: 8/28/14: The Curious Case of Paco and the Mysterious Woman
Hola Amiguis. If Pato thinks he can ever be a detective, he's sadly mistaken. Pato couldn't get water out of a wet sponge. Here is an earworm for you while you read this recap. Watching The Detectives Shall we begin:
Everyone is at the Maestro's wake. Alexa is also there. Later, sitting next to her Mama, Sofia agrees that Alexa is fragile. Pato comes next and plops himself down next to Greta and Sofia. He starts with innuendo with Greta. Using pointedly simpering things like secret lovers, etc. and Greta gets uncomfortable and goes out for air. Pato thinks to himself he wants Greta to confess.
Pato thinks he is Hercule Poirot
Chava talks to Cuco, and Cuco wants to know since Chava has quit the racing, instead of continuing to do this chofer's job, why doesn't he do Mariachi, like his Papa Javier? Chava is really good. Chava gets irate, never, ever will he be like his Papa, a pox on the man!

Posting of Tuesday's Mi Corazón Es Tuyo# 27 by Julia and Jarifa
[Thanks to both Julia and Jarifa whose memories were near perfect in their assist to Eli!]
Isabitch got Fer to reluctantly agree to have their engagement party the next day and to give her a credit card for expenses.
Isa went to the house to try to suck up to the kids. Guille and Alex attacked her with water guns, making the non-colorfast dye from her blue blouse run all down her white pants.
Up in the playroom, Alicia, Sebas, and Luz made a drawing of a witch and put it on the dart board. It was obvious to anyone but Isa that the witch represented her, but she insisted on joining in throwing darts at it, which cracked them up.
Then Isa tried to drop in on Nando, but he was busy having a big smoochfest with Ximena in his bedroom so she let them be. I don't think Nando ever got yelled at for having his novia in his bedroom! Maybe Fer didn't know about it.
Isa spent a lot of time being snarky and rude to Ana in a thin veneer of politeness, Ana was ostentatiously overpolite back, and Isa babytalks to everyone, including Nic and Fer.
Ana had a little meltdown and cried on Fanny's shoulder. Fanny agreed to stay and not leave Ana and the kids alone with the witch.
Fanny's horrid ex-boyfriend overheard Laura and Ximena talking about how Fanny's in love with the quesadilla woman's son, and he attacked Leon when he came to the school to see Fanny.
Johnny came to the house dressed as an exterminator and visited with Manuela and claimed to Manuela that he and Ana are siblings (she wondered how they know each other). Manuela told him that the patron is marrying the tarantula, which of course makes him think Ana is available to him again. He and Ana got in a fight in the driveway and Fer arrived just in time for the rescue.
Fer took Nando with him to buy an engagement ring. The clerk had weirdly yellow hair. Nando told Fer all about his relationship with Ximena and he thinks he's in love.
Recapped part by Blogger Julia
=====================
Some points from last night:
After giving Ana the book , Isabela makes a comment about them being able to get along in a civilized manner for the good of Alejandro and the kids. As soon as she leaves the house, Isabela is calling her "la nanaca". In a later meeting with Ana, Isabela calls Ana on her dry skin, poorly conditioned hair and dark circles under her eyes and then askis if she hasn't been sleeping well. Ana says she has been having some nightmares about a really creepy crawly thing and Isabela tells her that disappointments in love cause insomnia and that the book she gave her can help her forget it and let go of the impossible. Finally she suggest a corrector for her dark circles, but then says that she realizes Ana does not have the ability to get fine cosmetics but is sure if she goes to her local store she can find a knock-off. And so it goes.
Nando ends up forgiving Ximena and so he finally has a girl friend and Fernando approves.
Jennifer is all upset and Nico does not know why. She leaves him at lunch without a word about what is wrong. Nico is desperate he does not know what is going on.
Isabela convinces Fernando she needs an engagement party like tomorrow. She will arrange it all. She needs a credit card in her name and also the most important of all: an engagement ring. Yolanda is all excited about the monetary prospects and actually claps her little hands.
Isabela tries to make peace with Fanny for the good of her dad and siblings. She actually clenches her fist when Fanny does not give her a positive reaction.
Next stop for Isabela is with the rest of the kids where Isabela tries to broker a peace and ends up getting shot with water guns full of some sort of blue liquid that stains her white outfit and joioms the kids yelling "Muera!" "Die!" at a picture of a witch not realizing they mean her. The twins later apologize about the water guns with their fingers crossed.
Next stop for Isabela is with Alicia, where of course Isabela calls attention to her zits.
Mi Corazón Es Tuyo# 27
Isabela's rage after each failed attempt is apparent.
At the end, Fernando takes Nando with him to get the ring. Turns out that even though Fernando has lost contact with his bro Diego, Nando has been facetiming. with him and knows all about what he has been up to and him coming to the wedding. Fernando makes the comment that his bro still has not forgiven him. Nando asks him whatever happened between them that they don't talk. We never hear an answer.
Earlier, Johnny shows up as an exterminator and tells Manuela that Ana is his sister. Manuela is all over him.Fernando is not with a guy like Johnny being around his house and tells Ana he does not want to see him in his house again.
Also earlier, Ana confides in Fanny what is going on and how much she loves her dad and how desperate she is. Ana gets a call from her boss at Chicago that he needs her to dance tonight and when she hesitates he reminds her of her debt.

Isabitch got Fer to reluctantly agree to have their engagement party the next day and to give her a credit card for expenses.
Isa went to the house to try to suck up to the kids. Guille and Alex attacked her with water guns, making the non-colorfast dye from her blue blouse run all down her white pants.
Up in the playroom, Alicia, Sebas, and Luz made a drawing of a witch and put it on the dart board. It was obvious to anyone but Isa that the witch represented her, but she insisted on joining in throwing darts at it, which cracked them up.
Then Isa tried to drop in on Nando, but he was busy having a big smoochfest with Ximena in his bedroom so she let them be. I don't think Nando ever got yelled at for having his novia in his bedroom! Maybe Fer didn't know about it.
Isa spent a lot of time being snarky and rude to Ana in a thin veneer of politeness, Ana was ostentatiously overpolite back, and Isa babytalks to everyone, including Nic and Fer.
Ana had a little meltdown and cried on Fanny's shoulder. Fanny agreed to stay and not leave Ana and the kids alone with the witch.
Fanny's horrid ex-boyfriend overheard Laura and Ximena talking about how Fanny's in love with the quesadilla woman's son, and he attacked Leon when he came to the school to see Fanny.
Johnny came to the house dressed as an exterminator and visited with Manuela and claimed to Manuela that he and Ana are siblings (she wondered how they know each other). Manuela told him that the patron is marrying the tarantula, which of course makes him think Ana is available to him again. He and Ana got in a fight in the driveway and Fer arrived just in time for the rescue.
Fer took Nando with him to buy an engagement ring. The clerk had weirdly yellow hair. Nando told Fer all about his relationship with Ximena and he thinks he's in love.

=====================
Some points from last night:
After giving Ana the book , Isabela makes a comment about them being able to get along in a civilized manner for the good of Alejandro and the kids. As soon as she leaves the house, Isabela is calling her "la nanaca". In a later meeting with Ana, Isabela calls Ana on her dry skin, poorly conditioned hair and dark circles under her eyes and then askis if she hasn't been sleeping well. Ana says she has been having some nightmares about a really creepy crawly thing and Isabela tells her that disappointments in love cause insomnia and that the book she gave her can help her forget it and let go of the impossible. Finally she suggest a corrector for her dark circles, but then says that she realizes Ana does not have the ability to get fine cosmetics but is sure if she goes to her local store she can find a knock-off. And so it goes.
Nando ends up forgiving Ximena and so he finally has a girl friend and Fernando approves.
Jennifer is all upset and Nico does not know why. She leaves him at lunch without a word about what is wrong. Nico is desperate he does not know what is going on.
Isabela convinces Fernando she needs an engagement party like tomorrow. She will arrange it all. She needs a credit card in her name and also the most important of all: an engagement ring. Yolanda is all excited about the monetary prospects and actually claps her little hands.
Isabela tries to make peace with Fanny for the good of her dad and siblings. She actually clenches her fist when Fanny does not give her a positive reaction.
Next stop for Isabela is with the rest of the kids where Isabela tries to broker a peace and ends up getting shot with water guns full of some sort of blue liquid that stains her white outfit and joioms the kids yelling "Muera!" "Die!" at a picture of a witch not realizing they mean her. The twins later apologize about the water guns with their fingers crossed.
Next stop for Isabela is with Alicia, where of course Isabela calls attention to her zits.
Mi Corazón Es Tuyo# 27
Isabela's rage after each failed attempt is apparent.
At the end, Fernando takes Nando with him to get the ring. Turns out that even though Fernando has lost contact with his bro Diego, Nando has been facetiming. with him and knows all about what he has been up to and him coming to the wedding. Fernando makes the comment that his bro still has not forgiven him. Nando asks him whatever happened between them that they don't talk. We never hear an answer.
Earlier, Johnny shows up as an exterminator and tells Manuela that Ana is his sister. Manuela is all over him.Fernando is not with a guy like Johnny being around his house and tells Ana he does not want to see him in his house again.
Also earlier, Ana confides in Fanny what is going on and how much she loves her dad and how desperate she is. Ana gets a call from her boss at Chicago that he needs her to dance tonight and when she hesitates he reminds her of her debt.

Mi corazon es tuyo, Capitulo 29*, Thursday – 08/28/2014 - Sushi and champagne make for a great expecting mother
(*I think that somewhere along the lines we made a mistake while adding up the episodes, because this is now episode 29 and yesterday should have been 28)

Back to last night’s ending: Nico
asks Ana to speak to Jennifer, since they did meet at the hospital, after all.
Maybe they can become friends and Ana can convince Jen to come to the party.
Ana agrees to help and gives Don Nico a hug, just as Diego walks in. He tries
to insinuate that there is something going on between the two, but Ana is quick
to set things straight. Diego doesn’t fight it, he knows that Ana has something
going on with Fer, not with his father. Again, Ana denies everything, although
Nico does mumble that something did happen between them in the past. Ana has
had it with both of them, though, so she leaves, after asking Don Nico to
keep mum. Which will be very hard, since Diego wants to know the whole truth.
Viewerville observes how Diego
might now get the chance to do onto others what others have done onto him – to
want thy brother’s woman must be a Lascurain habit.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #166, 8/28/2014
De Que Ellas Son Rehenes, Son Rehenes o De Que No Hay Pila,
No Hay Pila
Read more »
All, it’s been my great pleasure recapping for you all. I’m
glad Kat started us on this road. For the most part, it has been delightful. I
especially want to thank my fellow recappers, and this fantastic group of
commenters! Now, on to the recap!
Rod has taken both Natalia and Brigitte as his hostages
(rehenes) at gunpoint, and left El and his team unarmed and handcuffed to the
stair railings. He’s ordered that a squad car be left running for him. He
smacks Nat unconscious in the back seat, and orders Brigitte to sit next to him
in the front. Brigitte begs him to let HER go, and to think of their child. He
tells her he couldn’t care less (me importa un comino) about her and the baby.
Plus, she betrayed him! She swears she didn’t betray him. He doesn’t believe it
Nat wakes up, assesses the situation, and decides to play
hero(ine). She puts a choke hold on Rod, causing him to swerve and then stop
the car. He breaks free of her hold and threatens to pistol whip her again. He
orders them both to the floor of the back seat, and threatens to shoot them if
they cause any more trouble. They both cower on the floor, and Nat cradles
Brigitte protectively. Nat finds her cell phone and stealthily makes a call.
El and his team are free and El calls Captain Vermudez. The
captain is NOT pleased and won’t even allow El to go inform Carmen in person
that her two daughters have been taken hostage by a lunatic. El goes anyway,
and breaks the terrible news to Carmen with a hug, while Mushroom listens sadly.
Carmen is inconsolable and demands that El return her daughters to her!

La Malquerida #3: 8/27/14: A Jump In Time!
Hola Amiguis. Finally we have a leap in time! We are still in the past for the first little bit, but it gets better. I Keep Holding On here is a little ear worm for Y'all.
Shall we begin?
We left off yesterday with Esteban declaring his love for Cris and he'd like to marry her. Cris wants to marry him, but wants Acacia to accept him. For now it is enough for him to be close to Cris and Cris doesn't have to promise him anything.
Esteban attempts to get Acacia to go to work with him. Of course, she doesn't want to go with him. Cris says she'll talk to her, but Esteban tells Cris to let her be, she's a child and he goes off to work.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #165 - Wed 8/27
De que casi todos tomaron malas decisiones, tomaron malas decisiones!
In the lawyer's office, Diego explains to Nat that he's owed her the divorce for a while and hands her the papers. I believe cake is also customary…no?
Eleazar downs a glass of champagne in an effort to exorcise the ghosts of Carmen's past enamorados. Carmen declares she's alllll his and after some steamy smooches, retreats to the bathroom to get…ahem…more comfortable. Unfortunately, El is still having auditory hallucinations of the exes in question and starts checking the room for them. Carmen, in a gorgeous purple negligee set gets El back on track. They fall to the bed and I seriously hope the audible commentary from Los Ex playing in the background while the animated hearts float by was only for us and not playing in El's head.
The lawyer explains that since they were both in agreement to divorce in the first place, all they have to do is sign. Natalia refuses to sign and walks out. Hey, now, I'm SURE there's a mandatory declaration of "No te voy a dar el divorcio!" (I'm not going to give you a divorce) that's supposed to go with that.
