La Gata #14- Thu 9/18 - La Mentira

Lorenza doesn't believe that Gata and Pablo got married.  She tears up the marriage certificate and says she doesn't believe a word.  Her precious son would never stoop so low, and no way is she having his baby.  She tells Gata to forget about Pablo, because he's going to marry Monica.  After more griping she dismisses Gata and storms back inside to scream at the nosy maid to never open the door to Gata ever again.  She wants her out of their lives…"Fueraaaaaaaaaa!" (out!).

Jarocha finds Gata on a hill of trash.  Gata tells her it's over, but at least she has her baby.  Fela joins them as Gata's saying she won't leave her baby with someone like Rita.  Gata tells Fela she'll probably go crazy like her soon.  Won't that be fun.  Fela thinks their two babies will be like siblings.  Jarocha drags Gata off, telling her to chill.

Gata cries in Jarocha's shack about how badly they treated her and how she'll never forgive them.  She says the baby is her only joy, a baby that's entirely hers, and someone who will call her "mom" and always be with her.  It's all she'll ever had in her life and no one will be able to take this baby away from her.  Um…talk to Fela about that sometime.

La Malquerida #18: 9/17/14: The Vows Were Paused, Were They Restarted? Enquiring Minds Want to Know!

Hola Amiguis! I was laying on my chaise, taking notes and got to the part where the wedding photos are being taken, and the shame of it is I fell asleep. I am so sorry amiguis! If one of Y'all would fill in what I missed I will add it to the recap. Lo siento, and I will make sure to stay awake for tonight's episode. Here is an earworm.I've Got My Mind Set On You

Shall we begin?

Everyone is gathered at the Church. Cris arrives on the arm of Juan Carlos. Este isn't there yet.

German and Ale arrive and German introduces her to the priest, as his novia, and oh, noes, this is the same priest she asked for Santuary, and both are quite surprised. He won't say anything.

Perls and Swine, and unfortunately Swine is now awake. Perls tells him to close his eyes and when he looks he has a cow. Perls is in a red dress with fake Perls and she looks way tacky. Oh, the horror. Perls thought she looked fab and now she is a bit peeved. Swine makes her look in the mirror to get a look at herself and she cries and goes.

Cris is very worried about Este not being there, because he could have had an accident on the way to the wedding. Este finally comes and they smile at each other.

Juan Carlos walks Cris up the aisle. Carmen and Andres have also arrived and gone into the Church. The ceremony begins , the priest starts the vows and Este is staring at Acacia. When the priest asks Este does he take this woman to be his wife, not. a. word! The priest has to repeat himself and Cris tries to get his attention. Everyone just stares at him and he finally comes to himself and he acceptos! Wew, for a moment there it was getting mighty tense. They are pronounced man and wife, besos and go out of the Church. They are gentley pelted with flower petals and everyone calls for besos. Acacia has one strange look on her face.




Now it's time for photos and that's all I saw. 


Here is the rest of the recap, provided by our Vivi:

La Gata #13 - Wed 9/17 - La Novia

Of course, Augie doesn't believe for a second that his fine, upstanding son knocked up that piece of gutter trash.  Clearly, all the riff-raff have conspired against him!  Damian beats the snot out of Augie for daring to suggest that Esmeralda has been anything but a victim in this.  No, seriously, Damian's fists made violent contact with Augie's face and other parts.  Repeatedly.  I feel conflicted, 'cause Augie is evil, but he's still an older dude.  And also, Damian was going for a law degree, so he can probably kiss that goodbye.

Lorenza is sending Virginia to Italy with "Tia" Eugenia (Monica's mom).

Centavito tells Esme (who's holding Principe!  Drink!) that he heard from Virginia that Pablo's missing her something awful.  Centavito says Pablo's parents have been trying to keep them apart.  As he asks about her illness, Mariano arrives.

Suddenly, Augie has guards…and they come in and hold Damian while Augie punches him and then points a gun at him.  Damian calls his bluff and tells him to go ahead, call the cops, 'cause he's got plenty to say.  Augie threatens to have him thrown in prison and calls the cops to tell them to send someone over.  Damnit.  There goes his law degree.

Mi Corazón es Tuyo #43, Wednesday September 17, The Hit Parade.


I guess there are two helpings of recap tonight...and you didn't even have to bellow for the mesero to bring them!

Picking up where we left off ish, Diego of course forgives Ana for yelling at him. He understands why she doesn’t want him meddling. Huggy hugs. Strangly hugs.

Meanwhile, over at the garage, Jennys is familiarizing herself with the workings of a car whilst Johnny is familiarizing his hormones with Jen’s face. She cottons just in time to spare herself any familiarity with his saliva. QTH?! They are just friends! But she said he should find another chava, he says. She meant someone ELSE!

Mi corazon es tuyo #43... the slap heard 'round the world... and Leon finally 'suelta la sopa' to Fanny... and we get the typical reaction from Fanny and her rigid dad... (act before thinking)

I am not sure if Julia will do a recap. if she does i can erase this one...
Refrito:


Fernando with the 5 younger kids… group hug…

Lo Nuevo: Ana apologizing to Diego, with excuse she is a ‘poquis’ (tiny bit) stressed with the debt… he admits there are things he should not intervene on… will do (not). Diego takes a bit payback in the end of the scene by hugging her … HARD.

At mechanic shop, Johnny and Jenn are in a car, he gets a bit eye-googly at her, even calls her a ‘taco’. He tells her it was not until now he sees her as a woman. She is like ‘my space… your space’. He claims she was the one that told him to look at other women. She says ‘but I did not mean ME!!’

At mansion, Ana and Luz choose a picture (can Ana make a dress by just looking at a picture? That is usually a skill only expert seamstresses can have) and begin working on the dress for Alicia.

Leon calls Fanny, she hesitates a lot but in the end agrees to see him somewhere not at his house. It is really important. He is really pensive, probably anticipating the break-up.

At club, Johnny again leans on Jen, she repeats she did not mean herself when she asked him to look at others… then Dana comes by and Jenn says ‘just look around you’. He turns around and Dana is right beside him.

Manuela confesses to Bruno that she followed him, he is very entertained by her saying the guy he was with looked like a thug. She admits she worries about him… again he is very happy/entertained by all of it. Manuela says Ana told her that Bruno might have to pay someone… Bruno says ‘curiosity killed the cat. Would you believe that I, Bruno, would do something fishy? Don’t you trust me?’

At her bedroom, Isa is running out of patience. YoMama, the voice of her reason this time, says you better get a fuse longer than 3 days…

Fernando still helping Sebas and talks to him about Pi being a decimal that never ends… as infinite as the love I feel for you. (Ana has heard this and is very happy to see them so good together). Fernando goes on to explain decimals to Sebas. Sebas seems to be very grateful and loving as well.

Isa runs into Ana in hallway and provokes her saying she is an incompetent ‘na-ka’… don’t understand why he keeps you … ‘I wonder why’ replies Ana… Isa insists demanding Ana to look up to her. When Ana tries to walk away Isa grabs her arm hard and keeps on provoking Ana until Ana swings a ‘tronada’ slap on Isa’s cheek. Isa freezes, so does Ana.

Ana tries to apologize, isa just tells her ‘you just committed the worst mistake of your life’. After Isa leaves, Fanny comes over to a very anxious Ana who thinks now she will be fired for sure. Fanny agrees with her that slapping Isa went over the line. Ana gets Fanny to swing her arms with ‘cancel! Cancel! Cancel!’ and praying for her sake. Ana tells Fanny Fernando is helping Sebas with homework. Fanny happy her dad is fulfilling his promises he made to her. Fanny wants to talk to her dad about Leon. Ana wants to know what Fanny knows. Fanny is afraid what Leon has to tell her is really bad. Otherwise, why the secrecy?

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #23

Greta is on the phone with Dani's principal and is wigging out as usual. Fausto comes in and consoles her as she laments about Patricio and her current woes.

Sofia asks why Chava hasn't gotten married and he says something but is interrupted by Pato who is now on the phone with Sofia and he appears to be genuinely considerate until Sofia mentions Chava is with her and the harp that was his heart is ripped at the strings. (It's funny that Chava is in the background cleaning while she is talking.)

Pato is being an ass and Silvie tells him to cool his jets; she thought was better than this.

Chava has set up the fireplace and he says he thinks it's weird seeing Sofia in the kitchen cleaning and not in the Ripollery giving orders. Sofia says she knows more than giving orders they bond some more. He thinks he is distracting her but he isn't; she sits him down and they drink a te de francia.

Silvie notes Greta is a woman who knows what she's doing; Paot better watch out. He admits Silvie is right and he must be pro-active. Silvie says it's good he hasn't lost Sofia. Pato and her plot some more when he says he is ready to fake it up and win Greta the bad ol' way.

Ripoll

Alexa helps to defile the impeccable reputation her family by striking suggestive poses on every surface of the chocolate factory. 

Sophia is sobbing in her office and asks Chava to take her far away from there.  He offers to take her to the end of the world.  Well, she doesn’t want to go that far away.  She simply wants to go to her family’s country house on the outskirts of town.    Sophia sends Chava for the car and his apron.  He stops at the door to watch her cry.  Her engagement ring sparkles in the office lights.  I hate her

La Gata # 12 – Tue. 9-16-14 – Augie and Rita: a Partnership Specializing in Making Bad Situations Worse

[ed note: tonight's recap comes to us courtesy of La Paloma!]

Next Time, Try Hiring Professionals

The paid thugs break into Rita’s shack and wrestle La Gata, bragging “We’re getting paid a lot!” She begs to know who sent them and continues fighting.  A quick flash of Augustin shows him smugly claiming no sacrifice is too great for your child.  The kidnappers push the Gata blanket-burrito into their car, but find Damian standing in their way.

As the getaway cars weaves through the dump, Damian whistles for his buddies. They jump into the cart and cut the car off at the pass.  The camera cuts away again, this time picturing our pure Pablo strolling the campus, talking to buddy Henry and two attractive co-eds.  They think it’s time for a little fun.  Back at the dump, the trash warriors take a stand in front of the car. They open the trunk, lifting out Esme, removing her gag, and telling her to calm down while the thugs escape.

Augustin reams out his hirelings for their failure.  Lorenza overhears and asks Augustin what he ordered? Better for it to stay unknown, he replies.  Damian, Carlos, and the gang share their pride in being a family and protecting one another.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #42 16 Sep 2014... Fernando finds his parent cap but is still missing his spine and 'co$)#*$&es'

Refrito:


Jenn and Johnny, she suggests he finally get over Ana (she is now seized by Don Fernando’s brother, and he is good eye candy, besides very nice and polite to her) and find a gal who will make him happy.

At club:

Diego goes to the Chicago and asks Ino-Doro how much Ana owes him. Ino-Doro learns Diego is Fernando’s brother. Ino-Doro says Ana is my golden egg hen, when she dances the Chicago gets packed full, and I ain’t letting her go. Diego realizes and tells Ino-Doro in his face that he is exploiting Ana. Ino-Doro just calls on his guys to get a bit closer into Diego’s space. Diego says better call them off me… Ino-Doro warns Diego to behave … for Ana’s sake. (ouch!)

Jenn tells Johnny he is not ugly (Feo)… he is just … different. Jenny jokes to Johnny about seemingly having issues with Ana having told him he can stay there. Jen says she will interview for a job at a car shop later, a guy friend of Nico’s. Johnny says no way. Jen says thanks to all you taught me. Maybe he can hire you too. Jen would convince Nico to put in a good word for him…. Paid with kisses, of course.

And we finally get Enrique Basurto on screen. He calls Fanny ‘little girl’. She is a bit abnoxious to him, to tell you the truth. Turns out Enrique and Betty know each other and she seems to have a crush on him. He is also glad to see her again. Fanny tells Fernando on phone that EB is there, she tells EB Fer is ready for him. EB walks in. Fanny tells Betty EB is ‘super –what comes after W… meaning X’.

At the mansion, Ana receives a very nice arrangement of roses (orange, fuscia and pink, with small lilies). Of course they are from Diego. The delivery guy tries to make a pass at Ana and she basically shuts the door on his rear end.

‘I could say you are the most beautiful woman… but I would have to skip over all the rest of your qualities… great personality, generosity, patience and smarts… so many virtues would not fit in this card. All my love, Diego.’

She smiles staring at them once she puts them on top of the piano.

At Costena offices, Fernando (btw, he is the President) is yelling at someone doing a report for him. He has to apologize to EB as EB walked in. Fer says Isa was working at the VP role and she recommended him. His resume is excellent and fits the needs of this business. Fer says he demands commitment to the job. EB makes the mistake to say the receptionist, Fanny, is not really efficient. EB says the girl is also a bit inexperienced and insolent/petulant. Fer laughs it off and then says ‘she is my daughter!’ we hear EB grumble to himself ‘swallow me, ground’ (tragame tierra is a very common phrase in Spanish to mean they would like to be transported anywhere BUT there… sort of the ‘wanna get away?’ slang). Betty tells Fanny she does not want Fernando to know she knows EB, so she sends Fanny with the coffees.

At Leon’s apt, Tamara finds a copy of their marriage certificate. She asks herself ‘what face will Fanny put when she sees our marriage certificate?’

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.

                                                        Isn't he just too lovable?

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.

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.

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.

Fernando and Isabela leave in the limo and are smooching in the back.

Fanny explains "honeymoon" to younger kids.

Yolanda shows up demanding to know where her room will be. Bruno shows her a vacant room and she is not impressed and goes back to her house to say goodbye to Isabela before she goes on her honeymoon.

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.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #17 20140909 Their Opinions Remain the Same, It's Their Positions that are Constantly Changing


 
Depravity and twisted filth continue in Patrick’s den of 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!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE — El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of September 8, 2014

Both these shows are in their final weeks, soon to be replaced by Señora Acero and Los Miserables.  Even if you’re not watching the novelas, it’s worth stopping by to read the remarkable recaps of Novelera, Jean and Kelly (En Otra Piel) and Hombre de Misterio (El Señor de los Cielos, II).

Have a great week!

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #15: 9/5/14: Pato's Master Plan is Revealed

Hola Amiguis! We get an inkling of Pato's Plan, Greta is pithed, Irkme has had it, and Chava and Sofia get closer. Do you want to know more? Read on to get the rest of the story and here is a little earworm Wives and Lovers especially for Irkme.

Shall we begin?

In Bangkok, Thailand, Perlata is playing golf and is talking to Pato back in Mexico. He is under the impression that Pato has gotten rid of Coria the Maestro, and without a Maestro, Ripoll will fold. No more new recipes and that land will soon be in his hands, Bwhhhaaaaa! Peralta tells Pato, he will soon have his Distric Mangnus. Yeah, okay lets go with that or look at this picture. It's Perlata and Pato.



                                                      Peralta and Pato, si!

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.

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
  • 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.

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. Well Ripoll is being taken over by Pinky and the Brain, jus' sayin'.

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.

Diego's Deep Secret

[Eli's computer won't be up till later this week so this is bare bones.  If someone has extra "meat" for the episodio I'll be happy to paste your post with it when I return this evening. --ed.]

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.

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.”
