Tres Veces Ana #97: Mariano Does A Double Take And Ana MiMi Plays A Double Fake
Parte 1~
The next morning Ana Lucia brings Remedios her morning coffee out onto the veranda. “—This coffee has a purpose doesn’t it?” Yep. Ana Lucha wants Remedios to tell her all about Santiago’s wife. At the same time, Ana Leticia is up in Rodrigo’s suite of rooms asking him about his and her abuela’s relationship. She tells him she’s certain there was more there than a simple friendship, but that’s all she’s gonna get outta that sly old fox. (Word up, Ana MiMi. This dude didn’t make his millions by giving away the farm.) If the guy’s sparse with his pesos, he’s twice that with conversation. It seems he’s got Ana MiMi’s number, especially since she must take after Ernestina’s scheming daddy….
At the same time, Ana Laura is tearfully telling Ernie the painful truth about how the car accident happened. Ana Letmeeeee was sitting next to the car window and arguing with Ana Lucia. "--Daddy scolded her. She moved over easy. She pulled at the steering wheel of the car, pulling Daddy’s arm away. He put on the brakes. I still remember the squealing of the tires [rechinar/rechinado = grinding, creaking, squeaking, squealing, rasping]. He lost control. I lost consciousness. I woke up in the clinic. They had cut off my leg. Ana Leticia remembers a lot more of this. She dreamt a lot about this and has had nightmares ever since we were children.” Ernie starts to comment about A MiMi having blamed A Laura all this time. A Lora says she knows this, and how she says he lost control, but no, Grams…..and now you know the truth.
In the lobby of the Grand Rodrigo, Don Isidro sees A MiMi and mistakes her for Ana Lucia. She’s a pure vision of loveliness and diamond-studded sensuality – one which even The Material Girl would be proud, considering A MiMi’s choice of lacy black bustier today. Don Isidro’s tongue drops down, slaps onto the floor, does a triple roll and then snaps back into his mouth. “—Ana Lucia, I finally found you!” Ana Leticia is WTF impactada, but recovers instantaneously.

A que no me dejas Episode 5 (9.16.16) Lying is never the answer... Wait, what was the question?
Amor en silencio
We start this episode with Paulina and Adrián sealing their pact to have a "silent love" (wink!) secret from everybody who is against it. Yes. From all the options they had, probably lying is the best. Ay ajá!
According to them, if lying is the only way to keep everybody happy (including themselves), well, let's lie away! And enjoy while the truth comes to light!
Since Adrián is being offered a job in "Playa linda" (pretty beach) by his brother in law's cousins, they could take this opportunity and go live over there, far from Julieta, Mr Gonzalo and everybody else.
-We have to be very good actors to pretend in front of them that we have broken up- says Paulina-, because since we haven't, it will be pretty difficult to show a sad face...
Silent hate
In the Murat mansion, Nuria finds out her parents are adopting little Mauricio (otherwise known as Anito el huerfanito) and totally disagrees, because she sees that as a threat to her status in the family. It is already hard to compete with a sister and now they wanna add another member?
Anyway. Both Inés and Gonzalo are already decided because Edgar (Gonzalo's distant cousin) doesn't love the kid and is always mistreating him due to his hearing impairment.

Thursday 9/15/16 A Que No Me Dejas #4 (Full Recap) Twisted Sisters
We serve the refitos of crazy Julieta
calling Paulina and telling her how much she hates Paulina and her family. She chugs her Clorox cocktail before telling
Pau that It’s all on her when Julieta bleaches herself out.
Ines scolds
Edgar for abusing Mau as a frightened Chelo looks on. Ed says he was
instructing the boy, but Ines says this isn’t instruction it’s abuse.

Sneaky's recap posted below.
Ok so the action (if
we can call it that) happens mostly at the pedida de mano party. They do
actually do the ceremonial asking for her hand thing, with lots of
teary smiles all around,
except Ramiro’s dad who scowls, but before that a few interesting things do happen:
Abue introduces
Remedios to everybody and everybody is polite except Facundo who tries
to kill her with his eyes but she stays standing.
BadAna keeps up the
goodie good act w/Santiago and Remedios– she’s cool w/Remedios being
there as long as she doesn’t blab about Analu, and she tries to convince
Remedios to tell her where her little sister
is because she just misses her sooooooo much and has totes forgiven her
for stealing her husband, although that hurts, and would like to see
her, if only from a distance. Remedios tells BadAna that Analu doesn’t
know anything about her sisters and just then
Ramiro rescues Remedios from BadAna’s clutches and warns her not to
trust her nice act, she’s pure poison.

A Que No Me Dejas #3 - Karen the Residential Badass Aka. Episode 3 MVP!
- Julieta keeps choking the life out of Paulina as Nuria watches on like it’s a boxing match. Karen grabs Julieta and pulls her off Paulina. As Chelo helps Paulina, Karen and Michaela kick Julieta (out instead of restraining her and calling the police) and go see if Paulina is okay. Paulina wants no one to know about the attack, as it will only add fuel to the fire. (The fire’s already been lit though, might as well stroke it when it matters).
- Gonzalo tells Ines that Monica wanted a recommendation letter and Ines says he should rehire her (Oh Ines, if you only knew). Gonzalo doesn’t think it’s a good idea (I wonder if that’s why he let her go in the first place).
- Elisa, Monica’s mom, wants Monica to tell everyone the truth. Monica thinks it’s a dumb idea since she’d be outed as a mistress and she’d lose Gonzalo. Monica, who has her head in the clouds, wants Gonzalo to leave his wife out of love for her but Elisa warns her not to end up like her (another juicy secret). Monica tells her she just wants Gonzalo, not his money.
- Alfonso shows Camilo his new office in the financial department. He tells him he’ll introduce him to his co-worker, Leonel later as he’s out taking a class. (Fresh out of college and already the boss of someone who has been there for years? Camilo that spells trouble). They also talk about how him and Paulina graduated with honors and now they’ll be working together in adjacent offices, he can romance her again.
- Karen, badass as she is, says they should call the cops if they see Julieta again. Everyone agrees and her and Paulina go to cover up the handprints on Paulina’s neck with makeup. (Side note: Paulina is too cute with Mauricio). In her bedroom, Paulina still wants to cover up the attacks but Karen suggests she at least tell Adrian because Julieta is a cuckoo clock (thank you!)

Tres Veces Ana - # 95 - Donde esta Remedios?
We are back with the master of truth Ramiro as he is
uncovering all of the TioM’s secrets. It suddenly dawns on him how unfair it
was for TioM to go against him during the Ana Let’s crusade to spoil his
reputation. Mariano thinks these are totally different things and, besides,
they are men you see and there is another part of the body they sometimes must
think with and Ramiro is welcome to debate this from his righteous stand, but
Mariano really has no other insight to offer. Except to say that he is not totally
and alone at fault for Gina’s death.
In a shocking to all of us twist of events, Maribel has
found Ana Lu finally and is trying to take her back to the store to show Ana Lu
that girl who looks so much like her. We are starting to place bets on the
number of coincidences that will fall into place to prevent the reunion. Kudos
to Maribel though.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) US #127 (MEX #131). Wednesday September 14, 2016. GRAN FINAL, PARTE 2: Esperanza Loses Her Stomach, Her Hair, Her “Galán” and Her Dignity While Ricardolt Gets to Rub His Happiness In Her Face!
 |
| Congratulations, Blondie! You think getting Ricardolt was a prize? Ha-ha! He’s your anvil, darling! Enjoy! |
At a glance
-- You first tuned in thinking you were going to watch a sappy romantic comedy called “Dream Of Love” but it turned into a Frankenturkey horror show that ought to have been titled: “Move Over, Toots, I Found Your Replacement!”
-- No telenovela female protagonist has been humiliated, disrespected and demeaned like Betty Monroe. She was branded ugly, fat and a bad actress. She was blamed for Osorio’s failure as a seasoned circus producer and a budding writer of “original” stories. She was bullied into losing weight and shaving her head on national TV. She was forced to endure the introduction of another protagonist actress halfway into the novela’s run. She was made to wear zombie makeup and an unflattering wardrobe for most of the show, while Marjorie de Sousa sashayed around in impeccable hair, makeup and clothes. To top it all off, her character demeans herself to the jerk Osorio calls a galán, only to be strung along for a while then get rejected by him! But wait, it doesn’t end here! Esperanza is made to attend Ricardolt’s wedding and share in his happiness and baby news with a smile on her face! But wait, that’s not all! Esperanza has to endure Ricardolt’s presence at the inauguration of her dream school, accompanied by his pregnant wife and his perfect little recomposed family!
-- Friends don’t let friends watch Osorio’s novelas. If someone you care about expresses an interest in checking out one of those hideous mounds of mutant manure that Osorio produces, please stage an intervention!

Sueño de amor, GRAN FINAL part 1 of 2 - Ep. 126 usa/131 mex (9.13.16) ...and we ended up with 7 weddings (2 failed) and 8 funerals!! How's that for original?
The "dream of love" also known as "the worst nightmare" has reached its end.
We finally woke up!
That's good and bad, because we might be happy, but there will be more monkeys people in the unemployment list (starting with Osorio) looking for a chance, any chance, to do ANYTHING. ¡Dios nos agarre confesados!
Anyway. With this recap I say goodbye to SUEÑO DE AMOR and I sincerely thank all the carayitas who filled the patio with their laughter and precise comments. Let's start:
As you can see, I am lucky not to cover the whole kidnap.
No. We didn't hear a shot. I thought it was Baxter storming in with the SWAT team but no. Probably something else.
Ricardo almost lost both hands getting free from the plastic strap fasteners but finally got it, being able to tackle Ernesto down, hold his hand and with his own gun kill two of his achichincles. After Ernesto was neutralized, Ricardo flew to untie Cristina Vález Valderrama, firewoman of education and therapist, leaving poor stomachless Esperanza to fend by herself.
No. She could not believe it either. With eyes big as plates she stared at Ricardo who was holding CVV tight completely oblivious to her. She took the gun and ran to try to kill Ernesto!

At a glance
-- Paulina Murat and Adrián Olmedo are madly in love but a whole lotta crazy stands in the way of their happiness.

-- The Murat, Olmedo, Fonseca, Córdova and Almonte families are interlinked in one intricate web of passion, hatred, jealousy, obsession, secrets, lies and intrigues that will get unraveled as Paulina and Adrián struggle to protect their love.
A closer look
A few years ago, on an idyllic deserted beach in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, Paulina Murat and Adrián Olmedo profess their undying love for each other. Adrián gives her a starfish medallion necklace and recounts how the starfish came to exist. A poor fisherman fell in love with a princess, but her affections vacillated between him and a wealthy man who offered to lay his entire fortune at her feet. The fisherman asked Poseidon, the God of the Sea, for help. Poseidon reached for the stars in the sky, gathered them all and deposited them at the bottom of the sea, so that the fisherman can offer them to his beloved. “And since then, the starfish have protected and perpetuated true love.” concludes Adrián. “True love like ours!” adds Paulina. From a short distance, beautiful green eyes, green with ugly envy, glare daggers at the smooching couple. They belong to Paulina’s older sister, Nuria Murat.

Sueño de amor # 125 (MEX 130) Mon. 9/12/16 Ernesto Reminds Esperanza Twice: She Has No Stomach
Well, this is my last recap for this novela and I would like to thank my fellow recappers Adriana, Nandicta and Pablo for making this a fun experience as well as all of the commenters on our tiny patio who also made this worthwhile and fun.
ACT ONE: Kidnappings
We start out where we left off with poor, pathetic, crying and conniving Ernesto begging Esperanza to let him in to talk. He is not there to hurt her. Against her better judgment (and because she has a bad habit of giving in), she eventually caves. As soon as he is in and she goes to get him some water, she knows she is in trouble. She comes back out to talk to Ernesto and has an incredulous look on her face the whole time he raves on and on. Ernesto is supposedly upset that Esperanza could believe what Tracy said about him on the recording after all they have been through together. He loves her. Esperanza mentions the photo. Not him! Ricardo is turning her against him. How can she doubt him and his love. He does not have to take days to decide. He wants her. He knows Ricardo is going to choose Cristina. His reason is when she got sick it took Ricardo no time at all to hook up with Cristina. Esperanza defends Ricardo by saying she told him she did not love him. Ernesto thinks that Ricardo should have investigated what was really going on. Ricardo's love is divided. Now he has a younger, attractive fertile woman in front of him with a child the same age as his children and Esperanza can no longer have children and as much as he hates to say it: she does not have a STOMACH!!!! She is also the woman who lied to him, deceived him. Ricardo will never ever forgive her completely. The long and the short of it is since Ricardo will choose Cristina and since Esperanza's children are no longer living with her, he can offer her his unconditional love. They can leave. Esperanza wants to know where. Paris, Rome, wherever she wants. He knows they can be happy together. Esperanza tells Ricardo that she does not love him. Ernesto tells her that that could change. She has affection for him. Esperanza reiterates that she loves Ricardo. She does not trust Ernesto and she prefers to wait for Ricardo's decision. She is declining Ernesto's offer but that is not the end. Crafty Ernesto has one final request: will Esperanza go out to breakfast with him one last time as great friends so he can say goodbye to her? He promises her that after today he will not bother her anymore and he will accept Ricardo's decision whatever it might be. He begs her like a dog. She does not think that it would be convenient but Ernesto does not give up and lays the "how could she deny him a dying man who gave her his whole life just see her happy and alive?" guilt trip on her until she gives in again.

Tres Veces Ana, #93, Monday Sept 12, 2016: Claws for Concern
Nerina tells AnaLu thank you very much for the offer to speak to my son, but no. Or, she'll think about it, but at any rate she'd like to be alone for now. After AnaLu leaves, Nerina has a mini-meltdown, knowing that Clawdia recognized AnaLu.
AnaLet waits impatiently for Iñaki to finish showing a property. Outside, Orlando picks his teeth and bounces the business end of a ballpoint pen off of his face, then sucks on it. (I don't know why this greasy lad isn't a chick magnet.) Finally Iñaki is done, and AnaLet offers to let him cheer her up. They go someplace (I don't know where they are, I think it's a hotel) and she tears his clothes off and slaps him. He grabs her by the throat, and then they get freaky.
I don't know what to tell you. It looks like love to me.

Tres Veces Ana #93??: Pandora's Box Begins To Open
Parte 1
Inside Ernestina’s manse, Ramiro’s best backdoor efforts to avoid Ana Laura’s performance with Valentin to raise funds for The Foundation, by talking Rodrigo into footing the bill for the next year’s entire budget, so that she and TinTin won’t have to spend time alone rehearsing together, all come to nothing. A Llora wont’ disappoint TinTin or the others involved by cancelling it. Tough nuts—no if’s, and’s or but’s.
Outside in the garden, Nerina tries her best to get on her son, TinTin’s, best side after so many years on the outs. She blames their separation on that trollup, Gina—a big mistake—who clouded his otherwise (?) good judgment. TinTin tells her never to speak like that of the love of his life. He sneers at her sudden upsurge in “maternal love” now that she’s learned he’s a paralytic, calls her a crappy mother, and gripes that Ramiro has stolen another woman from him and marrying her, like he did with Gina. Bottom line: Nerina strikes out Big Time with TinTin of the tiresome temper tantrums.

New Telenovela: A Que No Me Dejas, Starts Monday, September 12, 2pm/1c. Synopsis And Cast
Looneyvision has finally deigned to air “A Que No Me Dejas” (“I Dare You To Leave Me”), the 2015 novela acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
“A Que No Me Dejas” was the biggest winner at Premios TVyNovelas 2016. It scooped up best script and/or adaption, best direction, best cinematography, best musical theme, best veteran actress and actor for Leticia Calderón and Arturo Peniche respectively, best female antagonist for Laura Carmine and, dare I say, it should have received the best male protagonist prize too, because Osvaldo Benavides deserved it heaps more than any other nominee in that category. The same producer, Carlos Moreno Laguillo, and the same writing duo, Martha Carrillo and Cristina García, that gave us such gems as “Amor Bravío”, “Quiero Amarte” and “En Nombre del Amor”, now bring us this remake of Carla Estrada’s “Amor en Silencio” (1988).

Sueño de amor, Ep. 124 usa/129 mex (9.9.16) Chinese (weevils) philosophy: Big crisis bring bigger opportunities
Or "la que tiene más saliva, traga más pinole"
True love has deadlines
Cristina Vélez Valderrama, firewoman of education and mind reader, surely knew what I was thinking, and her reaction to the second time Esperanza nalga pronta made herself affordable with yet another basket of "homemade" cookies this time with chocolate chips that can be shared with the kids at school, was to snap them out of Esperanza's hands. Cookie fight!
I am sorry you spent all night baking cookies, Esperanza, but this is not Sesame Street and Oscar (the cookie monster) is not here! Last time you said Ricardo's favorite cookies were oatmeal, now there's chocolate chips, what's next? Key lime meringue cookies? Mexican wedding cookies (hint, hint)?
Esperanza's response to the dismiss of her whole night spent baking was to slap CVV and run. (And here I had to laugh out loud, very loud)
But CVV, who has tackled Ernesto and Kracy even when they both had guns (and Kracy had mental issues), thinks this is a piece of cake and she runs after Esperanza so they can both engage in some pulling and yelling with Ricardo in the middle.
Ricardo, who has to come after them, remind them that they are both professionals and ADULTS and shouldn't be behaving like this in public (or in private).

sad when he says Analu is unique. She interrupts him and tells him he's a
better kisser than Marcelo. (One more thing
for Marcelo to be mad at her for)
Orlando is in trouble at work and at work following trouble/BadAna.
Nerina sees the kiss and confronts Santiago about it, mostly she
just thinks he should stop giving Analu false hope. Abue comes in and
introduces Santiago and Nerina to each other, awkward.
Analu calls Santiago's cell to cry to him about how she loves him
and find out the woman she talked to was not his wife but his sister in
law
Bad Ana goes to talk to Llora about why she's not dripping snot and
tears all over the place after hearing their sis is fer sure dead. -
'do you know something I dont?' Llora doesn't want her to get mad but
she doesn't believe Analu is dead. BadAna wants
her to accept "reality" but Llora won't give up hope. Now they girl
talk about how hard it is for BadAna to be living w/2 men at the same
time. Llora knows about double personality Marcelo, she's met Santiago.
BadAna confesses its actually not a hardship its
really super fun and she sometimes doesn't want Marcelo back at all as
she kinda likes Santiago better. (you and me both sister) Llora counsels
that Santi isn't real and Bad Ana teases her about being a psychology
nerd and instead of crying Llora gives a shy
grin and a 'ya que?' (whatcha gonna do?) and a shrug. Bad Ana goes on
for a while about how much nicer Santi is than Marcelo and how weird it
is to cheat on her husband w/her husband. Llora is just happy she's
happy and thinks this could be a second chance
for them both. BadAna looks like she would really like a second chance
and to change. (we'll see how long that lasts)

Sueno de amor, #123 (Mexico #128), Thursday RIP Tracy. RIP PatoLuca's honeymoon. RIP Esperanza's cookies.
I am going to keep the recap very short, because I have run out of patience with this telenovela. Luckily, this is my last episode to retell, so thanks God this is FINALLY over.
Here goes...
At the hospital, Esperanza offers to stay with Ricardo, as he waits to talk to Tracy (who's not dead, yet). Cristina takes Selena and Rodrigo home. They are heartbroken over their mom’s
possible death, especially Rodrigo, but Cristina has the right words to calm him a bit. He wishes she were his mom. Point for Cristina, I guess.
Viviana and Adrian are worried because
Ernesto won’t agree to the transplant. Vivi wants to divorce Mario. Luca screams at Mario for the way he's treating his mother.
PatoLuca play house. Pato is a good cook,
but her food kind of makes her nauseous (Oh, boy, already?).
Regino tries to kill Tracy, but he can’t do
it because she's with Ricardo and he’s discovered by the doctor outside her room.
Labels: sda
Sueño de amor #122 ( MEX #127) Wed. 9/7/16 Finally!
Comments in parentheses are mine.
So, we are starting where we left off with Esperanza never having gotten the lesson about calling before you go to somebody's home and getting an eyeful of Cristina answering Ricardo's door in her pj's and barefoot to boot. Seems that Esperanza has one of "those" excuses: she was just bringing Ricardo some of the oatmeal cookies he likes. Yup, and he also likes blueberry crepes answers Cristina. She babbles on about him usually not sleeping this late but that he had a lot of things he had to do last night. Esperanza gives her a look up and down and says she can only imagine. Esperanza decides it is better that she go and hands the "homey" basket of cookies to Cristina. Esperanza leaves with Cristina holding the cookies and taking a look at them. (She should try them and if they are any good, eat them all or give them to the kids for just having to put up with Esperanza as Ricardo slept.)
Back at Esperanza's, Anya and Pedro are setting the table for breakfast and talking about how they hope Esperanza's little delivery went well especially after yesterday's kiss. They agree that she deserves to be happy. Anya reminds him that the greatest miracle of all is Esperanza overcoming cancer. What she would not give to have her dad there with them now. They kiss. Esperanza walks in upset and asks them to guess who answered Ricardo's door. She tells them: Cristina in pajamas and starts to cry thinking that Cristina spent the night with Ricardo.

Tres Veces Ana - # 90 - The morning that will never end or Where is that scalpel when you need one?
Nerina is chatting with Rem. She feels guilty that her handicapped
Tin had to go through all that hardship alone. She must get him back and make him
believe that she never forgot him.
Back at Clawdia’s (you guys must remind me who came up with
this nickname, because I cannot remember right now to give credit, but it is
awesome!), Claw and Tin (with no visible signs of burning ears) are discussing
mommy dearest. Clawdia tells him all about the tiny little room in the pension
Nerina is renting. Tin thinks that makes sense, what with her being a singer.
So you know? – Claw is surprised. And if you do know, how come mom was so
incredulous that you were in a wheelchair? Tin can’t believe Claw told her
everything. How did she react? You know, put a whole dramatic scene on, cried,
how was I supposed to know it’s a secret – responds Tin’s loving sister. We are
half expecting a demonic laugh out of her to go along with that happy smile as
she recounts making her mother cry. Tin
is much less amused at this cruelty. Claw wants to know if Tin has any desire
to meet with Nerina – she promised her she’d check. Never! They are both dead
to each other, says Tin. Fine, Clawdia is bored with the conversation anyway
and is off to call our dream beau Mariano.
Meanwhile at Tio’s Ana Le has evicted Viridiana off the couch
to the chair, , handing Viri her things, and took her rightful place as an arm
candy wanna-be next to TioM. Ana Le thinks they should all either go to dinner
or else she will whip something up in the kitchen. (Viri better think quick of
an excuse, we have a feeling her plate will have a special portion of something
in it.)
Tio’s phone rings and he is off to answer. Ana Le quickly
says it must be a woman – the pattern is familiar: phone rings, and he excuses
himself to answer. Actually, it must be Clawdia. You don’t say Ana Le, but hey,
how was that seamstress I sent you? – Viri wants to know. Just terrible – if Viri
counted the number of needle prick wounds poor AnaLetMeeee has, she may as well
be a pin cushion. Viri is surprised. The only reason Ana Le kept this dress was
because her loving Tio paid a fortune for it. Viri helpfully adds – a fortune
you bid on it. Ana Le doesn’t see what Viri’s point here might be. Besides, she
thinks she should fire her seamstress -
she was sobbing and crying. Well, Viri has an alternative suggestion – why doesn’t
Ana Le come to the boutique to either repair or replace her dress? Ana Le tells
Viri not to worry about it with scorn in her voice. Tio comes back and is
shocked when Viri asks him about Clawdia’s health. He stares at Ana Le, who is
practicing her innocent lamb expression.

Tres Veces Ana - Character List and Plot Redux (on steroids)
Ok this isn't done, but I thought you guys could use
something to read while I finish the remaining character list. I wanted to give
a refresher/redux version of everything we know so far, for those who are just
tuning in ….or have tuned out and gotten lost along the way (ya thanks a lot,
writers). I tried doing a summary of the past 80+ recaps and it took way too
long. I might finish it, but it seems pointless since by the time I'm done, the
series will be nearly ended. Like seriously, my butt is chafing and I figured
this is mejor que nada. So enjoy the read, and let me know if I missed an
important detalle. Acuerdo? Deal!

Sueño de Amor (SdA) US #121 (MEX #126). Tuesday September 6, 2016. El Perro De Las Dos Tontas
At a glance
-- PatoLuca partay, Esperardo esnog and Cristina cries.
-- Ricardolt is still confused. Poor Señorito Confundido!
A closer look
The millionaire construction heir and his bride arrive to their wedding reception. The setting and the buffet do not reflect the wealth of the De la Colina family but rather the stinginess of our beloved producer, Juan Osorio. He invited members of the public to attend the PatoLuca wedding and asked them to bring their own fancy clothes, thus saving himself a bundle on extras and wardrobe. It appears that the same penny-pinching attitude affected the PatoLuca wedding catering, which consisted of the following measly offerings: One minuscule plate of surimi vol-au-vents, four small plates of unidentifiable bites on sticks, half a cantaloupe with tiny cheese and crudités skewers sticking out of it, two puny platters of his and hers shortbread cookies, one styrofoam wedding cake, one single-tier medium-sized cake stand of styrofoam white cupcakes.

Yago #65. Monday September 5, 2016. GRAN FINAL: Destiny Doesn't Believe in Second Chances
 |
| This is about the happiest thing you are going to find in this recap. |
At a glance
-- A very unhappy ending.
A closer look
Flashback. Years ago. Sara and Omar are at the fair. Sara reveals that, sometimes, she feels she was born to lose because she has never managed to win any of these games before. She tries a game and loses the first shot. Omar offers to help her out. They make the shot together and end up winning the game. Omar believes that, together, the two of them can achieve anything. The booth operator tells Sara she can pick any of the plush toys as her prize. However, she shyly confesses that her prize was having met Omar. The lovers kiss tenderly as Sara narrates: “There are loves that make everything appear possible. There are loves that manage to make time disappear and everything gets suspended for one perfect moment.”

Narcos August 5th 2016 Episode 10: Discussion page
Tonight is the final tenth episode. I planned to post a recap for it but the new semester did not allow much time to do one much less to start recapping other show despite my other wishes. You can freely discuss the finale here. Season 2 began airing on September 2nd. It is unknown when the show will air at Uni-vision as there are plenty of new and older shows such as A Que no me Dejas&El Color De la Pasion to occupy it's place.

Tres Veces Ana, #89, Monday Sept 5, 2016: Tick, tick, tick
AnaLet comes home and is unhappy to hear that her husband's still out and Leonor doesn't know where he is.
Iñaki opens the door to go out, just as Santiago is showing up on his doorstep. Iñaki is surprised, expecting threats from Marcelo, but then realizes this is the other guy. Oh wait, there's someone else at Iñaki's door. How does such a jerk get to be so popular? Oh right, it's Ghoulieta. All he had to do to get popular with her was to kill his brother! Iñaki has the awkward experience of introducing SantiMarc to the mother of the man his wife cheated on him with. (Not in so many words, of course.) Even more awkwardly, Santi apologizes to her for what happened Daniel. Iñaki tries to explain it away as memory loss, but Santi insists on "confessing" that he put Daniel in the hospital. Iñaki tries to keep Ghoulieta from killing Santi, and tries to get Santi to leave, while Ghoulieta screams and threatens and Santi promises to pay for what he thinks he's done.
AnaLu tells Soledad to start talking, lady. Soledad is all like, "no no, not this way." She wants to know what Marcelo told her first. AnaLu is not going to play it that way. Soledad refuses to explain, so AnaLu tells her not to cross her path or speak to her again until she's ready to tell the truth. Despite the screaming, I think it hurts AnaLu more than it hurts Soledad.

Tres Veces Ana #88/89: Divine Justice Shows Its Hand OR All In The Family Gets A New Twist
Parte 1~~
In Midtown, at Remedios’s Rooming-house, Santiago is inside confounding Ana Lucia even more by telling her that once she learns what he’s had to hide from her all this time she’ll come to hate him. Yes, and it has to do with his wife--but what, dios mio? So, the best thing is to forget him and all they meant to each other and never seek him out again. She’s determined to teach him, to show him that it just won’t be like that! “--¡Adiós, my love!” Santi’s convinced otherwise. He races off like the confused and cowardly lion he is—again. Ana Lucha is as perplexed as ever.
Outside, Chana goads Ramiro about wanting to be The Great Avenger, and not caring whose hearts he breaks in the meantime, even though he feels a great injustice has been committed all these years. It’s not that she disagrees with the intent, but caution is called for here. The truth can be a double-edged sword [un arma de dos filos]. Santiago appears and is impactado to see the soothsayer. She tells him his past has caught up with him and it’s only just begun to hit the fan. Remedios races after him to beg him to come back inside and put the rest behind him, not to run away from poor Ana Lucha and her. He’s sick at heart, he’s broken Ana Lucha’s heart-not Marcelo--, but that’s the way it’s got to be. Ram and he head out and Chana warns Rem that the storm’s approaching.
Uptown at Miranda’s manse, dinner’s just about to be served and Ernestina finally gives Rodrigo a chance to explain after 40+ years, about his supposed betrayal with another woman—and how dare he leave without a single word of explication. Rod says she closed herself to him. He tried; when he came, her parents refused to let him near her—and she’d agreed to do as her parents wanted, to marry the man they felt best for her and her station in life. He tried getting a message to her through Leonora, but she’d refused to have anything more to do with him. Ernestina defends her husband as a good and decent man for whom she held great affection. Rod points out that she never truly loved the guy and the difference between her and himself is that, in the past 4 decades, he’s never again loved another woman.
Valentin and Ana Laura are having lunch at Valeria’s. They give her the news that they’re doing a piano and oboe duet to raise funds to keep The Foundation afloat during the time that it takes to find the embezzler’s trail. Ana Llora and TinTin give her their vote of confidence and assure her Ramiro’s on her side as well, looking into what might have happened.
Rod continues that he left the country for foreign lands a broken-hearted man. Well, it was a good move [acierto], says Erni. Look at all you amassed by it. Sure, financially. However, there’s more. He went looking for the pregnant girl who claimed Rod had knocked her up; he challenged her and got her to admit that it was Erni’s papi that knocked her up, threatened her, and had her lie about it to Erni. However, he cannot prove it because when he confronted Erni’s papa about it, the guy denied everything. Erni has a mental flashback to Chana’s words that afternoon. Rod only remembers the woman’s name, nothing more. It was Margarita. (Dun-dun-dunnnnnn!!!) Miranda is now as much a broken heart mender as her hubby. All four go in to dinner as friends and lovers, “just like old times.”
At the same time, Evaristo and Soledad are discussing how her mother, Margarita, was the love of his life. When she died, he apparently took Soledad in as his own. Sole had a miserable time of it. Ev’s wife and kids despised her and treated her like dirt. She was his lover’s daughter, after all, though not his blood. He had taken her in. They had hated him and her for it. He hopes to make it up to Sole somehow. Sole gets up and delivers an emotional blow to the old bastard when she tells him that once Ana Lucha and she are finally safe and sound and away from all of this, then she’ll consider possibly thanking him for it all and thinking of him as a stepfather, but not until. All the bitterness of her childhood prevents that right now.
Meanwhile, Mariano and Samuel discuss Ana Leticia’s tantrums and odd, unnatural jealousy where the other women in his life are concerned. Marcelo’s return really hasn’t done much towards putting a halt to that kind of behavior either. Sam chalks it up to Mo’s having been like a father to her and that daughters are always jealous of their daddies. However, speaking of Marcelo, Sam’s not convinced that Marcelo had really lost his memory. The last meeting they had he was sharp as a tack and as cunning as ever. He knows all of Mo’s dark past and secrets and could really ruin him. Mo could lose it all. Mo agrees he has to find a way to control him. Threats will do little where Marcelo is concerned.
End parte 1~
==================
Parte 2~
Evaristo has a sitdown with Orlando once Sole has left the coffee shop. Now that Nieto Numero Uno is dead and mouldering in the ground, Orly’s being “promoted.” He gets his own set of binoculars and a car to boot! Wow! And, he gets an eyeful of Ana Lucia on Steroids—yep. It’s her sister Ana Leticia and he’s not to let her out of his sight. (Orly begins salivating as badly as any bully bulldog. More, in fact, the slime!) He’s to watch her every move and write it all down in his very own notepad.
What he is watching, is Ana MiMi and Claudia declaring war. Claudia has A MiMi all figured out and it won’t be so easy getting rid of her as A MiMi might think. Claudia will go head to head with her and she’ll have Ana Leticia tied so tight she won’t be able to even twitch [parpardear = blink. twitch, ]. If she plays nice and helps Claudia to get close again to Mo and she will say only nice things about his adored niece. So make a choice. What’s it going to be.
Evaristo warns Orly that while Ana Lucha is all sweetness and light with a heart of gold, her sister is exactly the opposite: “she has no soul, nor a conscience, either.” Ev explains that A MiMi is bound and determined that her family never finds Ana Lucia and that Ana Lucia never has the opportunity to inherit any of the family fortune. She’ll do absolutely anything to avoid that possibility.
Mo learns that Sam has the hots for Viridiana.
Valeria informs TinTin and Ana Llora that the only two people who had access to her computer is she and Edmundo Fuentes. (Is that a hint of worry passing over TinTin’s face? Could he and Eddie be partners in crime here?) Ana Llora says there’s no reason to mistrust Eddie Boy since he’s been her granny’s CPA for decades and not a peso has ever gone missing. (Yep, TinTin is definitely finding it hard to stop twitching while sipping that tea.)
Maribel confides in Ana Lucky that she has the hots for Ram (who has a real job and an actual savings account). Nobody’s ever fought for her before and it was S.E.X.Y. Compared to him, Javier is just a kid.
Santi, at the same time, tells Ramiro that he’s not sure he should continue living at the manse. Ram says that Marcelo and his wife have managed to hide their distaste for each other well enough in front of the family. Santi brings up Valentin’s name and was incredulous to learn the guy was in a wheelchair. He doesn’t know why, but he wanted to kill him!
TinTin and Ana Llora are now having coffee and cake at a restaurant somewhere. TinTin tells her he’s not certain that Ram has enough experience to really track down the embezzlement. Ana Llora has total confidence in him. Talk turns to Marcelo and that he’s living at the manse with the family again now. TinTin tells her he’s glad to get the chance to know him better now that they’ll be rehearsing there all the time.
Ram and Santi discuss TinTin’s possibly being in that wheelchair do to Marcelo’s evil deeds, among them Gina’s death. Ram explains how he was Gina’s ex and blamed Ram also for her death. Santi is adamant that when Marcelo appears again, Ram will ask him whether he was the one that killed Gina or not. Ram finds out that Santi and Ana Lucha have broken up for good. Santi is tired of pretending…..
At Rem’s again, Chana has a chat with Ana Lucha. She is in tears because Santi is also lying to her. Everyone is lying to her. Well, not everybody. Chana hasn’t been. (Ruh-roh!)
Santi admits to Ram that he chickened out when it came to giving Ana Lucha the truth about her past. He could only drop the hint about Sofia Hernandez and then backed off.
When Sole returns from work that evening, Rem is waiting for her. She warns Sole that Santi was there earlier and spoke to Ana Lucha, but she doesn’t know what they discussed, only that she’s now in a bad way because of it. Rem says she simply cannot put up with this anymore. She’s going to tell Ana Lucia all of it! Soledad screams she can’t!
Santi and Ram continue discussing the pro’s and con’s of Marcelo’s cruel behavior in dropping hints about Ana Lucia’s past and daring to kiss her in front of his wife. Ram says he’s laid the cards out on the table for both Ana Leticia and Ana Lucia so she can get ready to accept the truth. “—This is the only way the issue can begin to resolve itself. We ought to learn from him.”
Sole begins a chat with Ana Lucha who admits she’s been doing lots of working out because it’s either that or lying in bed all day and crying her eyes out. She refuses to do that. She won’t do it. He came today, and they talked about all the lies Sole’s told her. But that’s over. She wants the truth. It’s now or never. Sole better fess up now or who knows what may happen between them afterward. Ana Lucha wants the whole truth and she wants it now!!
In Midtown, at Remedios’s Rooming-house, Santiago is inside confounding Ana Lucia even more by telling her that once she learns what he’s had to hide from her all this time she’ll come to hate him. Yes, and it has to do with his wife--but what, dios mio? So, the best thing is to forget him and all they meant to each other and never seek him out again.

However, speaking of Marcelo, Sam’s not convinced that Marcelo had really lost his memory. The last meeting they had he was sharp as a tack and as cunning as ever. He knows all of Mo’s dark past and secrets and could really ruin him. Mo could lose it all. Mo agrees he has to find a way to control him. Threats will do little where Marcelo is concerned.
End parte 1~
==================
Parte 2~
Evaristo has a sitdown with Orlando once Sole has left the coffee shop. Now that Nieto Numero Uno is dead and mouldering in the ground, Orly’s being “promoted.” He gets his own set of binoculars and a car to boot! Wow! And, he gets an eyeful of Ana Lucia on Steroids—yep. It’s her sister Ana Leticia and he’s not to let her out of his sight. (Orly begins salivating as badly as any bully bulldog. More, in fact, the slime!) He’s to watch her every move and write it all down in his very own notepad.
What he is watching, is Ana MiMi and Claudia declaring war. Claudia has A MiMi all figured out and it won’t be so easy getting rid of her as A MiMi might think. Claudia will go head to head with her and she’ll have Ana Leticia tied so tight she won’t be able to even twitch [parpardear = blink. twitch, ]. If she plays nice and helps Claudia to get close again to Mo and she will say only nice things about his adored niece. So make a choice. What’s it going to be.
Evaristo warns Orly that while Ana Lucha is all sweetness and light with a heart of gold, her sister is exactly the opposite: “she has no soul, nor a conscience, either.” Ev explains that A MiMi is bound and determined that her family never finds Ana Lucia and that Ana Lucia never has the opportunity to inherit any of the family fortune. She’ll do absolutely anything to avoid that possibility.
Mo learns that Sam has the hots for Viridiana.
Valeria informs TinTin and Ana Llora that the only two people who had access to her computer is she and Edmundo Fuentes. (Is that a hint of worry passing over TinTin’s face? Could he and Eddie be partners in crime here?) Ana Llora says there’s no reason to mistrust Eddie Boy since he’s been her granny’s CPA for decades and not a peso has ever gone missing. (Yep, TinTin is definitely finding it hard to stop twitching while sipping that tea.)
Maribel confides in Ana Lucky that she has the hots for Ram (who has a real job and an actual savings account). Nobody’s ever fought for her before and it was S.E.X.Y. Compared to him, Javier is just a kid.
Santi, at the same time, tells Ramiro that he’s not sure he should continue living at the manse. Ram says that Marcelo and his wife have managed to hide their distaste for each other well enough in front of the family. Santi brings up Valentin’s name and was incredulous to learn the guy was in a wheelchair. He doesn’t know why, but he wanted to kill him!
TinTin and Ana Llora are now having coffee and cake at a restaurant somewhere. TinTin tells her he’s not certain that Ram has enough experience to really track down the embezzlement. Ana Llora has total confidence in him. Talk turns to Marcelo and that he’s living at the manse with the family again now. TinTin tells her he’s glad to get the chance to know him better now that they’ll be rehearsing there all the time.
Ram and Santi discuss TinTin’s possibly being in that wheelchair do to Marcelo’s evil deeds, among them Gina’s death. Ram explains how he was Gina’s ex and blamed Ram also for her death. Santi is adamant that when Marcelo appears again, Ram will ask him whether he was the one that killed Gina or not. Ram finds out that Santi and Ana Lucha have broken up for good. Santi is tired of pretending…..
At Rem’s again, Chana has a chat with Ana Lucha. She is in tears because Santi is also lying to her. Everyone is lying to her. Well, not everybody. Chana hasn’t been. (Ruh-roh!)
Santi admits to Ram that he chickened out when it came to giving Ana Lucha the truth about her past. He could only drop the hint about Sofia Hernandez and then backed off.
When Sole returns from work that evening, Rem is waiting for her. She warns Sole that Santi was there earlier and spoke to Ana Lucha, but she doesn’t know what they discussed, only that she’s now in a bad way because of it. Rem says she simply cannot put up with this anymore. She’s going to tell Ana Lucia all of it! Soledad screams she can’t!
Santi and Ram continue discussing the pro’s and con’s of Marcelo’s cruel behavior in dropping hints about Ana Lucia’s past and daring to kiss her in front of his wife. Ram says he’s laid the cards out on the table for both Ana Leticia and Ana Lucia so she can get ready to accept the truth. “—This is the only way the issue can begin to resolve itself. We ought to learn from him.”
Sole begins a chat with Ana Lucha who admits she’s been doing lots of working out because it’s either that or lying in bed all day and crying her eyes out. She refuses to do that. She won’t do it. He came today, and they talked about all the lies Sole’s told her. But that’s over. She wants the truth. It’s now or never. Sole better fess up now or who knows what may happen between them afterward. Ana Lucha wants the whole truth and she wants it now!!

Sueño de Amor (SdA) US #120 (MEX #125). Friday September 2, 2016. The Step Siblings Tie The Knot And Paulo Rey Kicks The Bucket
 |
| Giving your daughter away at her wedding with your son is priceless... For everything else, there’s Mastercard. |
At a glance
-- Bodaaa! Comaaa!
A closer look
At Casa Conde-Kuri, soon-to-be Casa Conde only, without the hyphen, Viviana supervises the after-bachelor party cleanup by a non-Eufro housekeeper. Paulo Rey picks Salma up for the “picnic”. He greets Viviana politely and promises to bring Salma back early so she can attend the wedding of the millennium. Mere seconds later, Adrián takes his leave as well, to supposedly go see an exhibition but we know he’s off to play Nancy Drew. He too promises he’ll be back in time for the bodabulous, bodatastic, bodawesome, and positively superbodafragilisticexpialidocious boda of his eldest brother, Saint Luca Superhero De La Colina. And here comes the bridegroom! Proud momma Viviana tells him she can’t believe he won’t be living at home anymore. At what point in time did he grow up to be so big and handsome?

Yago #64. Thursday September 1, 2016. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Lucio Scorned
 |
| Bésame mucho. Tickle me with your beard mucho. |
At a glance
-- Just read on. I don’t have the heart to tell you here.
A closer look
The episode opens up with a replay of Yago’s grand declaration to his tainted love, Sara. If Dusty Springfield sang “Wishin’ and Hopin’” with this pair in mind, it would go something like this: “All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and frame him and jail him, just do it and after you do, you will be his!”

Tres Veces Ana # 87
Discussion page with Sneaky's recap coming up
Sneaky's recap below:

Sneaky's recap below:
Bad Ana is pissed
that Inaki played her and supposedly doesn’t know anything about Analu,
he thinks its funny that after all the times she strung him along he
finally got one over on her. She’s not amused
and its ruined her night. She’s disappointed in him as an info source
and as a man *scornful look* Inaki’s rock hard ego (and everything else,
whew how many gym horas went into making that?) won’t take that, he
knows she didn’t fake her O cause he knows *eyebrow
wiggle* Anyway he’s not entirely useless, he can always find out info
about Analu and feed it to her by dribs and drabs, being nicely
compensated all along the way. We-el ok then but she still doesn’t feel
like necking.

We both deserve an Oscar! I already have two golden globes!!
