WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/23/20: The Producers and Their Works
PRODUCERS TELENOVELOGRAPHIES
What do you think of the executive producers and their
works? Have they gotten better as their body of work grew? Have they faded or
taken an easier route (remakes) to the screen? What do you think of the Winners of the Best
Telenovelas for different years? Do you agree? I offered my own opinion in some
cases. Are the "less than best" attributed to them, the writers, directors or cast? There is no test next week, it’s for enjoyment only. You can skim
through your favorite and not so favorite executive producers to get a taste of
their taste in selecting stories to bring to the small pantalla. Maybe there is
a pattern to their choices, maybe not.
The listings are not purported to be exhaustive, or to name
every single producer who has ever made a telenovela we have enjoyed. For the purposes of this list, most of the producers
made telenovelas for Televisa and were shown on prime-time on Univision or made for Telemundo and recapped on CarayCaray. The Turkish offerings on Telemundo are
not covered here, although some were recapped on CarayCaray.
If anyone wants to add a producer, title, date, main stars,
please do so in your comments and I will gladly add them.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/9/20: Where Have All The Padres Gone?
It has been somewhat noticeable in the last few years—and dozens
of telenovelas— that the importance of religious guides as dispensers of spiritual
wisdom, salve and balm have largely disappeared from telenovela stories. If
they appear at all, they are rarely seen and often in lighter, shorter roles,
like presiding over a wedding. What could this mean?
Where is a Padre Hottie (Diego Olivera-pictured above) in Triumfo del Amor (2010) when we want to
fantasize about forbidden love? He seems to have been replaced by sterile consulting
offices and clinics administered by serious sounding practitioners of medicine
and mental health. They are the new dispensers of wisdom and offer a cure-all for
what ails the seeker. Currently, Te Doy
La Vida (2020) gives us a perfect example. Who now remembers that Nelson
consulted a padre to rid himself of those “impure” thoughts he had been having
about Ester? I don’t think we’ve seen any of the Villaseñor family members
consult a religious figure, but instead we get doctors and psychologists to
minister to Elena and Nico’s troubles. Granted, Nico did have a serious medical
problem that no padre could have cured with prayer alone.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 7/2/20: Telenovela Kitchens and Food
How important are kitchens and food in Caray’s favorite
Mexican telenovelas?
Are they really reflective of the current cuisine, or only
in the eyes of the writers and producers?
COCHINITA PIBIL WITH RED ONIONS
What about
telenovelas de época? Did anyone cook and serve meals in Amor Real, Pasion or Alborada? Ah, but then there is El Hotel de los Secretos, the Mexican
version of Upstairs/Downstairs, so of course the kitchen had to have a central
role, which included chopping onions, burning bloody clothes and poisoning tea.
Has street food played any importance? Think Un Refugio Para el Amor and Lorenzo’s bicycle Taco business, prepared in Estela’s kitchen; think Amores Verdaderos and Nikki eating an Elote from a street vendor for the first time.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/25/20: "My amor, por favor" - the language of telenovelas
Hello, my lovely Caray mates!
In a previous Weekend Discussion, many of you mentioned as the main reason for starting to watch novelas the need to learn Spanish. For me it was the other way around, I only learned Spanish because I started watching novelas, as a ten year old.
I never really needed to use the language until a year or so ago, when I changed jobs. Working in a hotel you're in contact with all types of nationalities, but my hotel has A LOT of Spanish speaking clients.
One night I was tending to four lovely Mexican ladies, who had been taking a trip to Paris for the last couple of weeks. They were celebrating one of the ladies 60th birthday and I started chatting with them in my so and so Spanish. They thought I spoke rather well (they were being nice) and I explained the source of my Spanish skills. At one point I offered to bring them a bottle of wine and since they were reluctant to accept, I added: "solo un poquitito" (just a tiny bit). They started laughing and said/ "This is such a telenovela expression."
Because REAL PEOPLE DON'T NECESSARILY SPEAK LIKE TELENOVELA PEOPLE apparently!

Roxana re-emerges and sets herself up buying and selling diamonds. At some point, she spends time in prison.
Season 2 picks up two years after the events of Season 1. Alejandro has discovered that his missing sister and his worst enemy, "The Professor," are the same person.

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/18/20: Evils and Anvils…Too Much? Too Little?
 |
| Picture provided by Doris! |
In 70 BC, when writing about law and crime, Marcus Tullius Cicero opined, “Let the punishment be proportionate to the offenses.” And how many times has that happened (or not) in Telenovelalandia?
We can identify villains from the inception of the TNs and OH! how we tend to grit our teeth and throw nerfazos at them; though we know that their evil ways and crimes will only get worse as the story evolves. They plot, they lie, they prey on their victims mercilessly…and we hope that karmageddon comes sooner than later (sometimes to no avail).
For this week, we want you to delve into the villians of the past (or present) and the karmageddon which befell them. Who got what was coming to them and what did they get? Was it too much, too little, too quick?
If you need a refresher about some of the villains and their karmageddon, take a look at the index posted early last week of Karmageddon pages posted by Urban Anthropologist (thank you, Urban!!).

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 6/3/20: The Toddlers, Tots, Tweens & Teens of Telenovelalandia
(Sorry for the alliterative title. Blame coffee... ☕
And I hope I've posted this correctly.
Disclaimer: Patio team captains, please go in and change whatever needs to be changed, or let me know, so I can do it.)
While some telenovelas have children as the main trope/plot propeller of the series, other telenovelas have children as secondary
characters. Some of them stick in my
head for-ever. Some are great little
actors, some are a bit … wooden, some are as annoying as chigger bites, and some don’t do much at all except act as a
set prop or plot propeller by their sheer existence.
So this week, please share with us the telenovela kids & kidlets that you
remember fondly. Or not-so-fondly. 👼👿
Below are some I can think of , and there are probably more
that I have blotted out of my memory for the sake of sanity.
My picks, off the top of my head:

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 5/28/20: Best and Most UnBelievable BEANIE Moments
 |
| Beanie - compliments of Doris |
There always comes a time (or many times) in
a telenovela that some things are just hard to believe and even harder to
swallow. Someone conveniently finds a clue to a murder, a crime, infidelity or
any other type of wrong-doing; or someone is at the right place at the right
time…so many other “convenient" things happen! I’m not sure who, when or how the
concept of “beanies” came to be, but they have been quite popular…and
necessary!

Me Declaro Culpable #63, 5/18/20: Post-Mortem Etc.
Since the comments just keep coming in, days after the final chapter, we decided to open an additional heading, just so our friendly Patio could keep in touch during this time of social isolation. Some of us are still grinding our teeth about the inconsistencies and writing flubs of this telenovela that seemed so promising at first. Others of us are just checking in while sequestered at home and sanitizing every box and bag of groceries that arrive on our doorstep. A few of you, too young to have seen Tea and Sympathy the first time around, may have watched it this weekend. It related a bit to one of our side stories. At any rate, Nina once described this Patio as the friendliest, kindest group of people ever, so feel free to stay in touch, right here at CarayCaray where "everybody knows your name," or at least your internet moniker.

Me Declaro Culpable #62 5/13/2020 - EL GRAN POR FIN!
This is it, MDCers, the end of our crazy roller coaster ride
full of crazy characters and lame storylines. It was another
day of mental pinball with the scenes, so some scenes have been combined, for
the sake of organization and sanity. I know our little Patio will understand.
FRANQUILO
We open with Franquilo (kudos to 💗susanlynn for this one!)
holding his newborn granddaughter. Upon
Natalia telling him she will name the baby Alba, Franco remembers
EVERYTHING. TODO! And he doesn’t even get an aneurysm, so,
yay!
Outside the Labor & Delivery room, Franco tells Julián
that his memory returned and to scram.
The marriage will be annulled.
There is some antler bashing, Juls leaves, and Franco goes to tell a
waiting Paolo that his child has been born.

Me Declaro Culpable #61, 5/12/20: Penultimate Perils
A Game of Keep-Away
Gael attempts to negotiate with Paolo over the baby that nobody but Natalia actually wants. He basically concedes that the kid probably would be better off somewhere other than jail, even if it's with Katia and Paolo, but it would be more like a loan -- when Nat gets out of prison, they'd have to give it back. Paolo says no deal -- they're going to trial, and he'll win.
Gael tries to give him a flavor of the questions he'll be asked: Do you have a job? No? Any income at all? How do you plan to provide for this infant? Katia thrusts out her little chin and says she's paying the bills, and Gael starkly points out that the legal question here is can Paolo support a CHILD, not can he find someone to support HIM.
Best line goes to Gael: "So far you've known me as a friend. You don't want to know me as a lawyer."
Who Let the Blonde Out?
Alba brings coffee to The Tiz, who wonders aloud why he's getting personal service. Is he suddenly "mas sexi" because he's married now? Alba gives him the guacala face and says she just stopped by to tell him to put a leash on Roberta, because she's jumped the fence and gotten into somebody else's yard.
Tizzy bursts into Franco's office and asks him point-blank, "Are you sleeping with my wife?"
Best line goes to Franco: "Yes."

Me Declaro Culpable #60 5/11/2020 Roberta's Sweet Dream is Slip Slip Slippin' Away
Quite a bit happened in this one, sweet Patio. Alba and Roberta tussled like fish-wives over Franco; Katia was pressured by Emanuel to tell Paolo they were an "item", Tizzy locked Bertie in the laundry room which sent her right back to Crazy Town, Julián (always there, never wanted) proposed to Nati as a way to keep Paolo from taking her baby, and Ingrid has morphed into a sweetie pie who's now Alba's best friend. If it all seems nuts to you, don't worry. We're in ultimos capitulos where anything goes, and the writers are having fun driving us as looney as poor Roberta. On top of that, the scene changes were every few seconds or so. I'll consolidate a bit for my own mental health.
We begin in the drab jail where Katia is waving Tizzy like a red flag in front of Natalia's eyes. Castolo is our lawyer now and taking your baby away from you is a done deal. Nat promises to fight with every fiber of her being. Meanwhile SoggyPaolo looks guilty and conflicted, but at least he doesn't cry.

Me Declaro Culpable #59, 5/8/20: For a Dead Man, Franco Sure Looks Good (Especially in a Rented Tux)
Subtitle: This was an Ingrid-, Gabe- and Javier-free
episode. Enjoy.
HOSPITAL CAFETERIA SCENE
Gael excitedly learns from Mauro that Franco is not all
dead, only partly, the memory part—and not all memory has been wiped out, only
the last year. Gael and Gramps chew the fat over coffee in the cafeteria, while
Franco is back in his hospital room catching up on the latest doings among the
social set. He sees a huge photo (above the fold AND below) of Bertie and
Tostito (thanks PJJ) joined at the hip. Gulp. He’s stunned to learn they are
husband and wife.
OFFICE SCENE
Julian gets a visit and a barrage of invective from Pao.
Julian spews garbage at Pao and it smells like it, too. He tells Pao he’s just
an idiot to have believed Julian’s lie bout being the father of Nat’s baby. Nat
could care less if he believes her or not. After the way Pao treated her, she’s
not interested in having a father like him for the baby. He taunts him, a cripple, on
becoming an unbecoming father. His legs don’t work. How is he going to kick a ball, walk to school together, etc. etc. Julian says he and Nat
will do it, the four legs between them ought to do it perfectly. Pao objects to
the future scenario.

Me Declaro Culpable #58, 05/07/2020: The one that made me wonder what I did to deserve this torture
Here is the recap. I made it out alive. This is almost as bad as "La Gata". I'm not sure what I did to deserve this.
Let's get to it: Franco has been missing for four months, Roberta and Tostito paid someone to leave the country using Franco's passport to make everyone believe that he went to Spain. Wait, Im assuming it was them but it could also have been Mauro. I was not paying attention.

Me Declaro Culpable #57 May 6, 2020 --- Franco’s wedding ring is finally gone!
Some scenes are combined.
Some stuff omitted (I’ll probably pay for that later). And some translations might earn a C+. No snark, just some frustrated recapper comments. I’m so ready for this show to be over and to get these people out of my life. Never thought I would say this,
but I miss Hijas. (Ack!) I WANT
A COMEDY NEXT!
GABRIÉL
When Gabe and Mia (a/k/a lollipop girl) overhear the police
are looking for them, they take off running.
Mia is really weak and cannot keep up with Gabe. He finally realizes this when he looks
behind him and she’s not there.
Oops. He lost her a mile
back. He finds her, she is running a
fever, and she tells him she cannot take the pain anymore and begs him to help stop her pain Gabe ponders that this is what his dad said,
too, when he asked Alba to end his life. (nothing
like insight, eh?)
Gabe takes off running back to the bus station, screaming “Help!”
all the way. By the time he returns to
Mia with the police, she has passed away.

Me Declaro Culpable #55, 5/4/2020: Time To Wrap This Mess Up!
We're nearing the finish line, Patio. Still a lot of loose ends dangling, and they may still be after the gran finale, but at least some of our side stories are winding up. So let's just hunker down and get this one over with.
We start with a reminder of Tizzy and Bertie's latest murderous pact. Roberta eggs him on by promising to be a passionate, committed lover once he takes care of Alba's assassination in jail. And together they happily propose a toast to that grisly prospect. Our gruesome twosome are well matched, don't you think?

Me Declaro Culpable #54, 5/1/20: May Day—May Day, Save the Women and Children First
There are four in play that need saving STAT--Gabe, Nat,
Nat’s baby and Alba (and maybe Franco later) First things first—a petit revue from yesterday, hooked onto
today’s episode.
Bertie pays a call to
Alba (first of many prison visits this episode)
Bertie is gloating as she tells Alba about her questionable
parentage. Her cruddy old powerful lawyer daddy thinks it’s so, so he must have
had some proof, like DNA test results. The result is that Gabe is now living
with Papi and not only has had custody transferred from Ingrid to Mau, but he’s
also now Gabe’s legal guardian. (I guess that’s good news for now.) Alba is all
cara de impactada that she is Mau and Maria Luisa’s bastarda illegitimate
child. She asks Alba to say hi to Nat and that she loves and misses her. Alba
says to tell her herself. Bertie can’t stand the idea of seeing her daughter
from behind Bullet Proof Plexiglas, but promises to give Gabe some hugs for
her. Alba recoils in anger. Bertie enjoys her verbal conquest with a witches' laugh saying that when the end comes for him, she’ll be there to pull his plug—an
act of love, no?
If Pao had been an
oyster, he’d be a dead one
Julian drills down through Pao’s thin shell of
self-confidence in the most emasculating way. Julian claims to be Nat’s baby’s
daddy calling into question Pao’s manhood. He tells Pao how Nat would seek him
out, left unsatisfied by Pao’s prowess en la cama.

Me Declaro Culpable #53, 4/30/20: Just another day on the crazy train!
Our Thursday recapper has had life get in the way, so we are all jumping in to get something up on the board. Please add to this, if only in the comments. I'm working from memory, since I watched and deleted hours ago.
- Mauro goes to the Turquoise House of Horrors and Skankiness and tells Gabe he is invited to come live with him. Bianca is in the background, shaking her head a big ole YES! Gabe hasn't had enough chemo to have the dreaded "chemo brain" , so he totally agrees to do that. He does not trust Ingy. Ingrid tried to guilt trip him on staying, Mauro called her on that, and I had to mute the TV to shut her up.
- Alba's day in court. First, did I miss something? She and Franco are acting like they have kissed and made up. Seriously, did I miss something? But I digress. Gael is there, too, and he has done his homework. He has Javier's attending nurse on the witness stand, with a timeline. Alba checked in at 11:43 to see Javier. Shortly after, she ran down to the nurse's station all freaking out, because she had unplugged Javi and plugged him back in. Expert witness said the alarms did not sound because the equipment had been unplugged for thirty seconds, not long enough for alarms to ring.

Me Declaro Culpable #52, 4/29/2020 -- "Luke, I am your father."
Okay, it wasn’t quite like in Star Wars, but today Mauro
tells Gabe, “Gabriel, soy tu abuelo”. But first we must suffer….. Many scenes have been clumped together because today’s
episode was like being the silver ball in a pin ball machine on a Saturday night. During Happy Hour. My head hurts from all the bouncing back and
forth between story lines. Hopefully I
did not leave out anything crucial.
ALBA
The police are trying to haul Alba to jail while she is
screaming (of course) and calling Franco names, chastising him, same-old
same-old.
Later on, there is a near cat-fight in the
prison when some of the other inmates are harassing Natalia. Alba defends her and has one in a very fake-looking
choke move. That’s enough to get Alba
taken away to solitary confinement. THAT cell looks like a dungeon with water running down the walls. Ew.

Me Declaro Culpable #51, 4/28/20: Meanwhile, Back at the...Other Place Where Everybody's Screaming
The Victims
We open where we closed yesterday, with Alba scuttling around in the middle of the post-traumatic street like a particularly shrill windup toy, but soon enough we find ourselves back at Aqua House for the world's worst soiree. Both women are completely verklempt, but Alba has the marginally cooler date: while Franco burps out empty promises and "tranquilates," Mauro just hulks on the couch like a superannuated garden gnome.
Ding-dong! If you haven't watched yet, be sure to be looking right at Franco when Julieta arrives and Alba announces, "This is the woman my son loves!" High point of the entire season, I promise.
The Perps
Gabe, trussed up and blindfolded on a nasty mattress, is the only resident of Alternate Mexico City to wonder why anyone would want to kidnap him.
Gabe: There must be a mistake! We don't have any money!
Thug 1: No kidding. You're dressed worse than us.
Gabe explains the side-effects of chemotherapy, goes green around the gills and threatens to vomit, causing Thug 1 to run away in a panic. He signed up for kidnapping and false imprisonment, not a yorking teenybopper with a fatal disease. Guess he shoulda read the fine print.

Me Declaro Culpable #50, 4/27/20: Just About Everybody Has a No Good, Very Bad Day
Well Petite Patio, it hit the fan hot and heavy today. Lic. Tiziano may still be flying high, but everyone else was brought low. And even though young Gabriel and Julieta got their rocks off, it's fair to assume neither one was very happy by days end. But let's delay the cascade of calamities and spoon feed the episode to you bit by miserable bit. Sounds fun, doesn't it? And if some of you choose to fast-forward through the whole dang thing, well...I've done my best.
Paolo's Really Really Sad Apartment
We begin with our depressing duo: Natalia and Paolo. She's still waxing poetic about how much she loves him, and he's all minor chords as in "Yeah you changed my life too. FOR WORSE! First you broke my body. And then you broke my heart!" This earns him a string of perdonames, and when that doesn't fly, she calls the police station, confesses to her crime and turns herself in. In no time at all, the cops are there, handcuff her and haul her off, while Soggy Paolo cries some more. All I can think of is--if these two ever get back together again and their kids one day ask "Hey Dad, how did you and Mom ever meet?" Do you suppose they'll get the real story?

WEEKEND DISCUSSION 4/25/20: Karmageddon for the guilty in Me Declaro Culpable
It's
that time again, amigos!. There is a lot of guilt to go around in
this cuna de locos.* Too much to resolve in the last dozen
episodes. Not to mention that anything with a title like this will
have lots of consequences for its denizens' actions.
As
usual, this will be a two-part question:
- What fate do you think they deserve?
- What do you think the writers will do to these perverse creatures?

Me Declaro Culpable #49, 4/24/20: It All Starts to Unravel
Subtext: Your dogged Caray reporter sunk her teeth into this
episode, but came up with nary a funny bone.
Sub Subtext: Confessions are not good for the soul in telenovelas, especially when there’s no padre, except for weddings with
comatose grooms.
Sub Sub Subtext: Thank goodness we’re past the apex of this MDC-Virus
and heading for El Por Fin.
Lawyer, Employer,
Father-in-Law (To Be or Not To Be, Depending on the Ending)
Paolo has been in Franco’s office since the last episode
wanting to know about the latest developments in his case, as he heard there were some leads.
Franco looks uncomfortable. He admits there are some new developments but
mumbles an excuse to put it off for a few days yet. He knows he promised Pao to
put the guilty one in front of him and he’ll do it. Next Pao wants to know if
he can come back to work at the bufete. Franco says anytime, the doors are
open. That aside, Pao starts to wax poetic about his love for Nat, etc., etc.,
while Franco is trying to keep his bowels in check. He tells Franco that he
wants to ask for Nat’s hand in marriage. Franco looks at him studiously and
starts his own waxing poetic on what a good guy Pao is. Pao is waiting for a
but. Franco doesn’t add any. Pao suspects he’s saying it because he
feels sorry for him. Franco says no,
never think that. Pao asks him to keep him informed on the case. Franco
desperately wants to head for the bathroom a meeting and says he will.
Pao then delivers the coup de grâce: next to Natalia, Franco is the one
he believes in the most. Franco can’t move.

Me Declaro Culpable #48, 4/23/20: La Neni comes clean
Oh man, what an underwhelming episode. I could probably recap this episode in like half a paragraph, I might actually do it.
So in todays episode Natalia finally gathers the courage to come clean and tell Franco that she is the one responsible for Paolo's accident, unfortunately it takes her forever and I day to spill the beans and before she's able to tell her father the unfortunate truth he gets an edited video of Alba and Julian discussing the accident, the video makes it seem like Alba is trying to keep Franco in the dark about what Natalia did, this deeply upsets Franco and he later breaks up with her.
