Corazon Indomable, #5 Friday, 05/17/13 A wedding, a wedding reception, a wedding night…But where is the diamond?



Yesterday Octavio and Maricruz became novios and kissed in front of the village gossips (que escandalo!); Octavio asked Abuelo for Mari’s hand in matrimony; Lucia found out she is pregnant, but the poor baby needs to fight for its life because mom is on the verge of a stroke when she finds out who her SIL will be…

Today…
Outside the hut Solita is helping Maricruz wash her hands as Abuelo notices that a while ago Mari didn’t care that much about being clean. Then he asks her what she’s planning to wear for her wedding. With Moctavio on her shoulders (yey!), Maricruz says that she’ll borrow a neighbor’s daughter quinceanera dress. Abuelo is a little worried because tradition says the father of the bride has to buy the dress, but Maricruz reassures him that Octavio won’t mind, since he knows they don’t have money.

Porque el Amor Manda #50: A Bumpy Ride on the Love Train


Decoration Station

Chatita chides Alma and Jesús: Hey, are we workin' or flirtin'? Your butterflies look like turkeys and bats! Hijinks ensue as they dash around painting little cartoons on each other's smocks. This appears to be the home improvement version of the Food Fight -- you know how the couple isn't really in love until they've made a big mess someone else has to clean up. There isn't usually an Alzheimer's patient involved, but hey, modern times.

Lamentation Station

Xoch is crying a river in her apartment, and so is her Mom -- over a telenovela. She tells her real daughter to keep quiet; she can't hear her imaginary friends. After a fraught phone call, Marisela whisks her friend off to  Ricardo's apartment, where the Avon gang has gathered for a sympathy intervention. Even the three sillies are moderately inoffensive, and Julio (of the orange tie and swiveling hips) is absolutely effusive. It seems as if he could have made a play for Xochi any time, but apparently the runny nose and blotchy skin have rendered her particularly attractive. There's a lot of all for one and one for all talk. Xochi wails.

Weekend Discussion: Las Mascotas; Animals in Telenovelas

We don't get enough animals in telenovelas that are characters.  We saw many prize bulls [Salud!] in Amor Bravio, horses in others, but rarely do these animals have names or enough screen time.  Animals are such big parts of many of our lives it's hard to believe that more novela characters don't have pets.  The mascotas in novelas, though, are often amusing and endearing.

In El Cuerpo del Deseo, the hero had a dog who was smart enough to spot his master after his spirit changed bodies (Dog may actually be star Mario Cimarro's dog):


Cuando Me Enamoro had a beautiful horse named Gitana that was much beloved by the heroine:

Qué Bonito Amor #24 (Mex 35.2-36) Thursday 5/16/13 Que Bonita Fiesta…not!

JAntos taunts Colosso from upstairs about the upended water bucket and tosses his hat down to him.  Ponytail mariachi ribs him a bit, then asks Doña Mancia what's up with Susanito--he never showed up for work yesterday.  Mancia's worried since he came home saying he'd been to "heaven" and he had quite a look on his face this afternoon.

Redheaded mean girl calls Ay Jalisco and talks to Mirna to set up the serenate ambush for the evening.   It's gonna be pricey, but Elvira's willing to pay the price.  Mr. 5ft walked through when the Mean Girls were squealing and jumping up and down.  He asked if they won Justin Bieber tickets.  Yes, dear, because women only get that excited at the prospect of Justin Bieber, clearance sales, and revenge.  Aw, crap, ladies, he may have a point.  Tomorrow, when we balance our checkbooks and there's still money left over after paying all the bills on time (crossing my fingers on that one) let's all jump up and down and squeal, ok?

Maria cleans JAntos up a bit and tells him he'd better choose between his love of fighting with Oscar and his love of her, cause one more fight and it is OVER.   I don't think we believe that any more than he does.  Amalia comes in and asks QTH is going on--she heard from Mancia they were fighting outside.  JAntos avoids answering the question by asking if she's able to see again.  Amalia says it's thanks to him…and don't change the subject!  JAntos starts to justify the fight, but Amalia won't tolerate him and Oscar causing scenes. JAntos apologizes and promises it won't happen again.  Amalia says if it does, he won't be welcome in the house.  Maria backs him up on that.  Then she says that's guys for you, they just don't get it.  On behalf of guys,...hey!  Just cause these two are acting like a couple of idiots doesn't mean all guys are like that!

Corazon Indomable, Capitulo 4, Thursday 5-16-13: Fate Places the Pieces on the Board--Let the Game Begin


Recap by La Paloma

(There were many short scenes flipping back and forth.  Some of these may be combined in the recap. I'm going to learn how to make this shorter.)

Gloom and worry
            Don Alejandro hears his doctor's advice to slow down and stay away from work for six months, but isn't happy at the prospect.  His heart condition is a sword over his head and he wishes his daughter were at his side.
           
            At the river and multi-purpose watering hole, Maricruz is rising from her plunge into the depths, meeting the worried Solita mid-stream for a happy reunion.  Up at the hacienda's big house, Miguel rushes in, angrily telling Lucia that Octavio learned about the mortgage on the lands.  Opinions are exposed:  Octavio determined that Miguel will pay for this treachery, Lucia telling Miguel "Don't let him win," Miguel saying he will take consequences and begging Lucia to have faith and she'll still have it all.

            Octavio enters to ask Lucia if the room is ready for his future wife, which leads to cross-accusations of lying and scheming from both parties. Lucia, with fake smiles, tries to learn more about the wife's social standing and disposition.  Octavio claims he just might marry him one of them lower-class gals, while Lucia smirks about Miguel's love for her and how Octavio's bride needs this kind of love.

            Back at the Hut of Humility, Abuelo and Solita are comforting a weeping Maricruz, who confesses her sorrow is due to the news of Octavio's impending marriage.  Abuelo warns her that Octavio might be just foolin' around and she'd better stay away from the ranch.  Sad eyes from MC.

PEAM #49- 5/17/13- Vero Who Loves Jesus Who Loves Alma Who loves Jesus Who Doesn't Love Xochy.

We begin at the cafeteria with Susana inquiring about what is going on between Jessica and Rogue because Ferny didn’t move a finger for her but Susana sees Jessica going into Rogue’s office on several occasions but before she can lie we are interrupted by Xochy screeching about Marsela’s father needing an amputation.  Rogue wants the money ($50,000 for the  “wedding”) from storage and Fern who has seen the light will have no parts of it. He thought bubbles to the last time when he tried to get the “dirty” money and ended up on the garbage truck.  Rogue yells at his brother and then has the nerve to say do it, it’s an order and don’t act childish.
The secretarial cartel wants to go to the hospital to support their buddy.  Marisela leaves with Chatita.  Chatita lets Marisela know that her friends love you and you lie and deceive them.  Your lies will catch up to you one day.  Chatita has a convenient memory lapse.

Rogue is overheard by his FIL making plans with Patty, Alma’s best friend. Rogue lies and says that it’s a collaborator.  He is going to Toluca to see the President of Avon and is on his way to the airport.  Sebastian warns Rogue to be careful, he almost lost his life over a woman who wasn’t his wife and lost his money, it also broke up his relationship with his daughter, Alma.  He lets Rogue know that Alma won’t tolerant unfaithfulness. He won’t judge him but his priority is his daughter and he better no let her suffer. Paty is waiting for Rogue with tablets. (Are they blue??)

Corazon Indomable #3 Wed. 5/15

An almost kiss, an almost marriage proposal, an almost end of life, and no monkey sightings


Eusebio and Octavio are still having their argument about helping Maricruz and her family. Octav warns him to leave her alone and don’t mess with her. Eusebio doesn’t like this order.

Nuevo: Back at the shack at night, while the girls are sitting by a fire, Gramps is pulling out a box that was hidden under a mattress. Inside are a bunch of letters, and he pulls out a piece of paper with the address of Maricruz’s father. Commenters here were certain Grandpa knew where Daddy resided. Gramps has a flashback to his daughter (who looks uncannily, no, exactly, like Maricruz. She could be her twin) who is on her deathbed pleading to a younger, dark colored wig wearing Gramps to not tell Maricruz where her father is. So he talks himself into keeping quiet. But he does reveal that the dad does care about his daughter and has written many times to come see them over the years.

Amores Verdaderos #131 Wed 5/15/13 The course of true love never did run smooth … but come on, this is ridiculous!


Note: Balzac (heh heh) and the Snails have the night off.

Some of our characters are settling cozily into their misery.  Some are plotting revenge.  And at least one is prepared to fight for his happiness.  Not a night for champagne on the Patio, perhaps, but no reason not to set out some pitchers of beer and munch on a handful of Tostachos …

José Ángel brings Guzmán up to speed
The señora Victoria knows everything and now the Ferretti is out on her … er … ear.  And there's something else Guzmancito needs to know: Kendra poisoned Nikki against him.  JA details the dirty tricks, including GigoloGate.  Now Frankie understands.

PEAM #48- 5/15/13: How To Teach a Bobblehead Doll To Dance Without Tipping Over

Dec 12th or juárever day Osorio decides it is. Juárever!

Discua is home so she won't be able to enjoy the ''active pause'' which is a fancy way to say that you will spend more time in the changing room than doing yoga. That's  supposed to improve work efficiency, but if I were Alma, I'd better let them gossip and have their way with the carrot cake, since that is something they already manage to do well....
Tomorrow, Dec. 13th. or 21st. for that matter, someone will have to tell her so she is prepared with her sporty outfit ;-)
Jesús, who besides being a ''Licenciado'',  a pizza delivery guy, a chef, a pet sitter, a party planner, campaign designer and mole vendor outside movie theaters on Sundays, still have time to teach yoga!!

Don't do good things that look like bad things, used to say Jesús grandmother but he has forgotten all advice, lost in Alma's green eyes. During the waste of, I mean, the active pause, there was plenty of people she could have chosen to ''do the yoga with'' but she chose Jesús, and him, with that bad judgement (remember that last night he spent the night at Verónica's when he could have easily declined that offer without damaging  his relationship with Valentina -juárever). Jessica takes the chance to tell XTL how slow she was not grabbing him before Alma did, and Ricardo uses his Unefón to snap a close up picture (that later changes to a completely different shot) to post it both via closed circuit and printed in manila envelopes! Ain't nobody got time fo' dat!!
Well, thanks to the ''active pauses'' now the staff is energized and well rested to do all this and their usual workload too!!! Hahahaha! Allow me to laugh here! Will it be love? Reads the caption on the picture and Jesús is making a very huge fuss about it, when in the beginning, he didn't mind. Holding, pulling, pushing,  breathing, and gets lost in Alma's green eyes when THE WHOLE OFFICE STAFF INCLUDING ROGELIO AND FERNANDO WERE WATCHING!!! Echate esa! Can you imagine this in real life?

CI: Love Among The Wretched Blooms





Capítulo 2 


Eusabio is pretty damned slow about following Ocatavio’s orders to fetch Maricruz’s ration of milk and food for that day.  His lips say sí, but his body language says “No, not if I have anything to say about it!” He doesn’t, but his mouthy, jealous girlfriend, Ofelia, does.  Mari will have to wait till Ofelia and Useless get it on in the storeroom first. 


Meanwhile, Octavio gives Mari a broad hint that her personal hygiene could use a boost.  If she’d bathe and put on a clean dress afterwards and maybe a pair of shoes then she’d look a whole lot prettier, he says.  Useless finally comes back with the milk and foodstuffs but gives them both grief saying Lucia is going to have a fit.  Tav says get over it, that he’ll explain and handle things, not to worry all ready.  Mari takes the stuff and Tav learns that her pet monkey was named after him.  Apparently that makes Tav feel special and he smiles a sparkling smile that should send shivers down to Mari’s tippy toes.


Mari is so keen on pleasing Octavio that she bathes with soap, washes and combs her hair, puts on a clean dress and even the old pair of shoes she has, even though they’re too small for her.  She heads over immediately afterwards to show her “new look” to him.

PEAM, Tuesday 5/14/13 (#47): Woof!

Chucho finishes the latest installment of the fairy tale with Valentina: The queen is going to marry the bad guy, and her helper is invited to the wedding! Val recognizes that the helper will be sad, and suggests that he should try to get the queen to marry him instead. Oh, you crazy kids, with your hi-fi record players and newfangled ideas!

Paty tells Rogue her price for not sending Alma that video of him and Jessica: He has to take her to the ranch this weekend. (He's getting married the weekend after that!) From now on, he has to treat her the way she deserves. (He replies sarcastically.) And he can't fool around with that trollop (Jessica) any more. Also, he must beg Paty's forgiveness, and say it like he means it. Louder! And on his knees! No, she's just kidding about the knees - but he will have to apologize again, in bed, right now!

Valentina begs Chucho to stay overnight. Vero agrees to let him spend the night in another room. He really doesn't want to, and says he can't because he didn't bring any pajamas. Vero says that's no problem: he can wear some of Eli's. He doesn't want to do that. Then Val says it's only fair: she stayed at his place, so now he can stay at her place! She pelts him with porfas until he relents. She asks for another episode of the fairy tale, so he tells her about the wedding gown. Now it's time for bed. She says a prayer of thanks for letting her daddy stay overnight.

Speaking of daddies, Alma's dad calls Rogue to let him know that Alma's looking for him, to thank him for the creepy bunny with the tulips. (Why isn't she trying his phone? Duh??) Patymelt distracts Rogue; Sebastian can tell something's up. Sorry, poor choice of words. "Are you with someone?" he asks. Rogue says that's just his dog! He whispers at her to bark like a dog. She obliges with enthusiasm.

Qué Bonito Amor #22 (Mex 32.2-33) Tuesday 5/14/13 Que Día Tan Bonito or Love in a Time of Thunderstorms


This episode could have titled this El Episodio de No’s, Not’s, Don’ts and Won’ts.
Recapper doesn’t think there was any Lo de Ayer
Lo de Hoy
Some scenes have been combined to prevent eyeball-whiplash.

·                  JAntos pays a visit to Irasema, his long-legged (and slightly long in the tooth) night-owl neighbor.  No, not for himself (but he might need her services before the night is over…). He’s there to ask a favor for a friend in need.  The friend, of course, is none other than Sweet Sue.  JAntos tells him to get dressed up real guapo, go to this address “for a good time.”  He just needs to relax.  And, No, he can’t let his mother know where he’s off to.

·                  Maria and Gloria have left Oscar’s place and stopped for a cafecito and a heart-to-heart chat.  Gloria had no idea Oscar was interested in Maria—after Oscar’s performance earlier.  Maria swears she never led him on, was never Coloso’s novia, mujer, whatever, never interested in him, isn’t and No, never will be.  Gloria believes her.  She’s always loved him. (Stay tuned, we learn a little more of Gloria and Oscar’s backstory later on.)

·                  Coloso is banging on Fernando’s apt. door.  Fer is still hurting from the beat-down he got, but opens it for Coloso.  El Rey is pretty steamed about something.  Fernando guesses it’s about Vargas and he doesn’t want to talk about Vargas.  No, answers Coloso, this time it’s about ME!  Fernando gets a kick out of the story (from Coloso’s point of view, of course) and is delighted to hear he has a “little nephew.”  Oscar isn’t in the mood and No, he’s not going to do anything about him—after all the time gone by and Gloria never told him.  He’s darn sure the chamaco isn’t his.

·                  Said chamaco is working on his Spanish lessons at Maria’s apartment with Paloma tutoring.  Isa is trying Not to do her math homework, it’s too hard.  Roddy offers to help.  Things are getting out of hand for Paloma.  No, back to Spanish for Roddy and math for Isa.
There’s a knock at the door and Paloma answers. It’s an ordinary looking guy in a loud ghastly green plaid work shirt. Oh my heavens, it’s Jorge Alfredo looking for Maria. [Note to JS--please tell wardrobe this is just not your color or design.]  Paloma tells him she went to Coloso’s place (a potentially serious error of omission here).  When he asks why, Isa pipes up and says, duh, he’s her novio.  JAntos puts on an act like a wounded bull and calls Isa a torero who’s wounded him in the heart.  Amalia hears him from the other room (where she was hiding out from Gloria and Roddy).  She stops him from leaving because she wants to talk to him.  She shoos the kids down to the patio.  Amalia is really pithed at Jorge Alfredo.  She’s sure he’s the cause of Maria not taking the job at Don Ruben’s office—one that would surely have brought her a bigger salary, experience and advancement.  Of course, she won’t let him get a word in edgewise.

Fortunately for JA, Ruben arrives and JA opens the door.  He tells Ruben that Maria isn’t home.  Amalia overhears his reason for coming.  He wants to apologize for the humiliation his wife put Maria through at the serenata.  He also came to pay them (I didn’t see JA actually take the check, although it was urged on him so he could have something to start paying back Amalia’s hospital care). The two men shoot eye daggers at each other.  Amalia realizes she jumped to a hasty conclusion and has to eat, chew and swallow her words.  Then JA tells Amalia the real reason for his visit. He’s been to see Don Tonio and shares what he learned about Pedro Mendoza—that he was never unfaithful, etc. etc.  Amalia sputters that Concho told her he was and she believed it.  Jorge Alfredo assumes he lied out of jealousy or some rivalry. Amalia is all torn up that she blamed Pedro for eight years for something he never did.  The three girls return. (I guess Rodrigo went home with Gloria.) Maria greets JAntos with a sweet kiss on the cheek and realizes something is wrong with her mother.  Amalia assures her it is nothing and asks to be helped back to her room. Maria goes with her.  She starts out by telling Maria that now she knows why she didn’t take the job with Don Rube and is behind her all the way.  One must always put dignity first.  Now, GO, there’s a decent young man waiting for you out there. GO.  Maria would rather stay with her, Not leave her alone, but Amalia insists.

·                  Up in Los Angeles, CA, Justo is on the phone with the Mexican Minister of State.  He understands there is nothing they can do without risking their international reputation by getting embroiled in the investigation, but he appreciates their concern. At least they've let him keep his post as consul.  Altagracia is whimpering at his elbow, not to give up on their son.  She’s certain he’s innocent.  Justo, it seems is now 100% on board and will work to clear his son and bring the perpetrators to justice (way to go, Justo or your name isn’t Justo).

Comm. Derecho is trying to get out of his office but Curtis is blocking his way.  He’s going to turn in his resignation because of his failure with the Santos case.  She’s visibly upset (and that’s a mild description for what’s going on).  There’s a little FF BB SS RR FF BB SS RR (that’s a new dance step—two steps forward, two backward, two sideways, two round and round and repeat randomly). Derecho finally orders her aside; she salutes and gets the door in her face.  Derecho’s superior Won’t take the resignation. He rips it up. Derecho protests his right to resign. Super says ok, but if you go, Curtis goes out the door right behind you.  Derecho won’t let that happen, so he agrees to a reassignment to the archives until his retirement.

Amores Verdaderos #129 Mon 5/13/13 The Damme's blindfold comes off, and she transforms from quiet kitten to raging lioness in 0 to 60(Thanks Diana!), The young Damme's blindfold comes off and she wants to turn back time

Recap in progress... oh boy what an episode!!

Refritis:

2nd half of confrontation at base of stairs… KenDrat is desperate crying asking Nil-Brains to tell the truth, that her baby girl is his. Angel grabs Nil-Brains to try to shake the truth out of him. Dances steps in the middle and separates them, tells Angel ‘Don’t compromise yourself!’ KenDrat insists to Nil-Brains that she could not keep quiet about having his child.

Lo Nuevo:

Nil-Brains has the nerve to try to ‘swear’ to Vicky that… Vicky won’t even let him speak. ‘Don’t say any more please!! How could you deceive us like this?? How could you do this to your daughter?? Deceive me??!! [which one?? Lol] Both of you make me sick! What shame!! Now you will have to explain this all to Nikki!! Because I couldn’t!! How??... How could I explain so much filth!! SO much betrayal!! And of course, I don’t have to ask of you… no, DEMAND of you that both of you leave this house!! GET OUTA DODGE!!! ‘ (I have to give it to Vicky, she stood up strong despite such a terrible moment she was living)

Vicky runs out to bedrooms, Nil-Brains follows her shouting requests for her to listen to him, while Angel has a facial expression like he is sick to his stomach and Dances just stands back there and KenDrat continues to cry.

Nil-Brains turns his anger at KenDrat ‘Pick up your things and get out of this house right now!! Dissappear!! I will never marry you!! I want nothing to do with you ever again!! You broke my marriage!!’ KenDrat shouts several times ‘it was already sunk!!’ and runs out crying.

Nil-Brains walks away to door and Dances and Angel are far enough that Dances asks Angel quietly if this was what he wanted. Angel says no, this is not what I wanted. I just did not want to keep this secret on Miss Vicky any longer.

Nil-Brains walks back and turns to Angel this time trying to put the blame on Angel, but Angel won’t have any of it, saying the only one to blame is Nil-Brains for not being faithful to his wife. Nil-Brains swings his arm but Dances steps in the middle again and separates them. Nil-Brains says it is not worth it to get his hands filthy (more than he has them now? Angel just looks at them like saying DITTO!!) Asks Dances to get KenDrat and her things out of this house yesterday.

Before he heads upstairs, and showing we should still give him some hairline hope for surviving the end, Dances asks Angel ‘are we alright?’ (as in ‘are you ok?’)

Nil-Brains is not done, turns around again and tells Angel that he doesn’t know how much it will cost him for what he did. Angel responds ‘I only do what is my duty, to protect Miss Vicky.’ Nil-Brains sarcastically says ‘so she will protect you. Nice trade. But it won’t be a good deal for you, I will see to that.’ (Angel just gives him a ‘you trash, I wish I could put my hands on you’ stare)

Qué Bonito Amor #21 (Mex 31-32.1) Monday 5/13/13





Capitulo 31: Qué Complicado Amor

Lo del pasado

El Bartono and Fernando talk about the refusal of the money, which he thinks to be false pride.  Lourdes complains about her miserable life to a friend.  Oscar brings Elvira to his place.  They are separatin Maria from El Pochito [¡Salud!]  Booty call.  Jorge Alfredo continues playing Romeo to Maria's Juliet and they swear undying love [Por dios, that ladder looks dangerous].

Lo de nuevo

Balcony: Maria tells Jorge Alfredo she will not accept the job Ruben offered. He tells her that he feels lost without her. Mas besos, then Jorge Alfredo slowly rides away on the pretty white horse. [Ladies in Viewerville are now really wondering about those kisses.]

Mendoza Apartment: Amalia is singing the same old song about how Jorge Alfredo – like all the other mariachis – will break Maria's heart. She goes on about them being the most unfaithful. [We understand that her blindness is making her more anxious, but Maria is an adult.] Paloma wakes up at this one and asks her mother what she means by this.

Corazón Indomable Cap. 1, 5/13/13: Our Galan is an Unemployed Bum, Who Just Proposed to Someone Else for Money, But He Sure is Lindo and Chulo


We start our tale with a flourish of accordions, trumpets and strings and zoom in on a beautiful river where two dark-haired lovelies are swimming and frolicking. They are our heroine Maricruz Olivares and her little sister Soledad, aka Solita. But very soon the music turns sinister, and a dark horse comes galloping to the shore with a menacing looking rider. He ogles the two young girls and talks to himself about how the two sisters are like wild animals, especially Maricruz. But Solita, the deaf-mute (sordomuda), is just like how he likes his women. One day she’ll be his! Eeewwww!!!!

Next we are transported to a lovely hacienda, where our galan Octavio Narváez has just driven up to the front door. Inside, his brother Miguel and sister-in-law Lucia argue about how much longer he and his brother will be at odds over what to do with the lands. Miguel seems to think he’ll be able to put off his little brother as easily as always. Lucia wonders why he doesn’t just sell the land already, and give his brother his part. Miguel doesn’t know what he’d do with his life without the land. And little brother Octavio would just burn through the cash quickly anyways, like he always does.
