Weekend Discussion: The Televisa Remake Game; Classic Movies, Second Edition
We had a good time with this before, so here we go again playing Televisa casting director to remake our favorite classic movies! The rules:
- Pick a classic movie, any genre. Title translation optional.
- Give your dream cast for the Televisa Remake you would produce. Actors currently under contract to Telemundo are also invited to the casting call. Although most or all character names would be changed into Spanish ones, use the original character names for clarity.
- Make note of any minor changes to setting, character relationships, etc.
- Comment on any previously posted project.
- New projects should occur at least every third post, but more frequently is good, too!
Considering today's weather and its
effect on me (sluggish with brain working at half-speed) and
Televisa's track record of doing remakes of remakes, my first entry
in this discussion is the a truly great film noir remake (or reboot) – Body
Heat:
Ned Racine............ Sergio Sendel
Maddy Walker........ Silvia Navarro
Peter Lowenstein....... Jorge Salinas
Oscar Grace............. Ricardo Vera
Edmund Walker......... Marcelo Buquet
Stella......................... Laura Carmine
Miles Harden............. Alejandro Camacho

Amores Verdaderos #162 Thu 6/27/13 Loving You Doesn't Stop Me From Boinking Your Sister
Balzac Demands a Review of His Contract
Luckily for Balzac, none of his Pug buddies are Amores
Verdaderos fans or read Caray Caray recaps.
In this scene, Polita is holding Balzac (a Juliard trained pubsbian), who has been humiliatingly stuffed into a tiny red night-shirt with a fur-lined
collar. Polita begins to discuss her
employers’ private foyer business such as:
Lilly’s newfound Ballsvanera
status and Arriaga’s raunchy activities with Vicky. She stops herself when she recalls Tomi’s
words about loose lips. Jean Marie
doesn’t seem to push the conversation.
He takes Balzac from Polita and says it’s Balzac’s bedtime.
The Kitten Fight
Back in the Body Guarding Room, the princesses continue to
argue. Disney Princess Lilly tells exiled
Princess Nicky that she might be a short hillbilly, but like Nicky, she is a Ballsvanera
and has all the rights associated with that name. Hoping to start a new fashion trend by wearing green Spanx on the
outside of a purple skirt, Nicky tells Lilly that Candy’s not the only sweet treat
Anibal has sampled. Disney Princess Lilly promptly loses her entire mind! There’s so much hair flying, it’s like Saturday
night at a Head Bangers Ball! Guzman observes one of his greatest fantasies coming
alive right before his eyes. The only
way this could have turned out better is if the cousins were wearing bikinis
and wrestling in jello. Guzman
reluctantly steps between them and carries Nicky (kicking and screaming) out
the room.

Qué Bonito Amor #54 (Mex 80.2-81) Thursday 6/27/13 Que Triste Despedida
Jantos finally gets to see his ailing mama. Justo has stopped blaming Jantos for the crimes he didn't commit and has now decided to blame him for being an idealistic trusting fool.
Fabiano has called Victoriano to report that Ruben's neglecting bidness in favor of chasing a skirt. Fabian's under orders to get Ruben's house in order.
Wendy asks Jantos' forgiveness for not believing in his innocence. "I have nothing to forgive you for. I know what it's like now to be in love…." Come on, man! Don't go so easy on her! He's too busy being dazzled by the miracle of new life. He has a little chat with the fetus, introducing himself as the uncle.
LA cops visit Orange Giuliano to inform him they're investigating Bruno's and Arnold's deaths. OG plays it cool.
Jantos calls Maria's house and demands that Colosso let him talk to Mario. The jackass tells Jantos that Maria can't talk to him and hangs up the phone. Maria demands to know who was on the phone and Colosso actually admits it. Jantos hits redial as Maria's telling Colosso to step the hell off! He passes her the phone this time and we're treated to a Mi Amor symphony with an encore of Te Amo. "I miss you." "I miss you more." "No, I miss you more!" Wendy overhears Jantos' end of the conversation. Maria reminds Colosso for the millionth time that she loves Jantos and he needs to quit trying to separate them. Colosso blames his heart and Maria refuses to forgive him this time.

Corazon Indomable Cap. 34 6-27-13 -- Carola’s Skunked, Lucia’s Punked, and Octavio’s in a Funk
There
were lots of little backstory bits
tucked into this episode, to help those viewers catch up who didn’t watch from
the beginning. It just now hit me, Teobaldo has two outfits—navy shirt /white pants and
white shirt/navy pants. He must never
take a day off, because he’s never out of uniform.
Some
scenes are combined and may be out of sequence.
Isla Dorada Progress Report
MariAle phones Don Ale. He’s feeling better. Things with her are going well, she has money from Emir Karim, a $5,000 client tip. DA warns her to be careful with him, he could be dangerous. Should she put the money in DA’s account or save it? He says it’s her money, keep it.

She
feels that she’s the owner of the world and of her fate. When she arrived at
his house, she was dirty mess of a girl, now, thanks to his training and
counsels, she’s a complete woman who will pay him back as a true daughter
would.
DA asks
how much longer is she staying on the island?
She’s staying a while longer, is thinking of renting a little tourist
place instead of the hotel. He thinks a
good idea, let him know when she moves. How is Solita? She misses her sister
and MA says she’ll bring Soli to the island.

PEAM # 79- 6/27/13-Una Familia Con Suerte Names A New Northern Regional Director At An Unusual Board Meeting
Pancho begins by telling everyone that tonight is the big
event. Jesus is trying to find
out, what event and Alma sidetracks him by saying that it is a surprise for
Jesus. Pancho’s phone rings, he
excuses himself and tells Alma and Jesus not to miss him. Hahaha!! Jesus and Alma share- “Que the heck”
glances. Alma is a little nervous
but Jesus feels that they are good people and that there is nothing to worry
about. Jesus helps Alma to take
off her lined coat??? (Why is she wearing that?) They are alone and Alma thinks that it’s a bad idea that
they traveled alone. Jesus asks if
she is scared??? (Wink, wink) They
look at each other as if they are ready to jump on the table in front of
them. We get some scenic photos of
Nuevo Leon and then back to Avon.
Enter Dr, Loca- I mean Dr. Marta heading straight towards Marisela’s
desk. She wants to talk to her for
5 minutes. (Note to Marisela- you may need some mace for this chat) Marisela agrees and Xochy and Susanna
note the strange behavior of the psychiatrist who herself needs therapy. Xochy asks Susanna about Don
Sebastian. They are taking it
slow. Susanna shares that in
Acapulco she and Sebastian had a good time. Paty the Back Stabber brings Rogue the memory stick. (I hope that he had more than one) Rogue wants to know if she slept with
him. Why no, Rogue are you
jealous??? Paty the back stabber
hugs Rogue.
Alma feels weird, but not because of Rogue. She doesn’t want to be there for the
complicated reasons. Alma asks
about Jesus and Vero. She wants
him to be happy and Jesus reminds Alma that his happiness is not with Vero. Jesus asks Alma why did she ask about
Vero at Rogue’s house? Did she
know something?? Then they share long, loving glances at each other. She doesn’t know what he is talking
about and gently takes her hand.
We can all feel the sexual tension. Candelaria aka Candy comes in and announces that the meeting
will begin soon, inappropriately hits Jesus with her butt and gives out the
folders, throwing Alma’s folder to her and gently handing Jesus his folder. Alma throws daggers at this person.
Dr. Marta tells Marisela that she is owes her an apology about
sending the photos of Elias. It
was childish! Que the hell?? Did she have a lobotomy?? She was
nervous and depressed and didn’t know what was she was thinking. If they are going to fight for Elias,
then it should be civilized. This
time Marisela acts like the fool.
Dr. Marta puts out her hand to shake and asks if they can be friends??? Marisela doesn’t buy it and tells the
good doctor that she is super, super crazy. The good doctor responds that she is a super, super little
stupid girl. (I guess that she
didn’t get the lobotomy.)
Elias is having coffee with his lawyer and concedes that he
has lost Vero. The lawyer says
that he is an honest lawyer (is that an oxymoron???) He should quit while he is ahead. Start a new life.
Alma is not pleased with the provocative attention that Candy
is giving Jesus. Ahem!!! Alma
scolds Jesus for encouraging the behavior with his smile. Which smile?? The smile makes me all
warm and tingly, Jesus. Alma zips
her lips for a change. Jesus asks
about the reason for the meeting and Alma says that it’s about Rogue’s case and
that Rogue is innocent until proven guilty. Jesus is a giddy but bothered by Rogue being referred to as
Alma’s husband. He also knows that
Alma knows something about Vero that she won’t tell him. Come on Alma, tell me, we’re
friends. Jesus as a married woman,
I don’t have the right to say anything about your wedding with Vero.

The Old Stuff
Maria Alejandra comes home after a long day out, she takes off her shoes (her feet must be so happy!) and when she looks up she finds that she has an unwanted visitor, Karim!
She's just not into you (or your billions)
Majandra (Maria+Alejandra) is not a happy camper, she demands to know how he got into her room and he says that "For Karim closed doors don't exist", to which Majandra replies "and neither do manners", she tells him that her doors are closed to him and he explains that with his influence he managed to get the hotel staff to let him into her room. Majandra is not amused and tells him that he came into her room like a thief and she is going to complain to the administration, she might even sue them! (ha, can you imagine Judge Judy's take on this?!)
Karim, is really calm through Majandras verbal assault and tells her that he tried to call and she was not answering the phone- ah, yes, when someone does not answer the phone instead of leaving a voice mail feel free to break into their home, that way the next time you call they will answer! I will also suggest that Majandra get a Twitter, that way her stalker can always reach her, her Twitter handle should be @Ihateeveryone, sorry, I get distracted! He also explains that he paid a lot of money to get into her room and would she like to have lunch? Yes, what every girl wants, lunch with a guy that has no understanding of the word "no".
Majandra tells him that she has no desire to have lunch with him and he asks why, "never ask a woman her reasons", Karim though really, really, really wants to know why she won't give him the time of day and she informs him that it is because she is not interested in him, he wants to know if there's a chance that she will change her mind and she says "yeah sure, when hell freezes over"- I made that last part up but she does tell him that she won’t change her mind, he suggests that even steel melts when under a strong fire and she says that the feelings of a woman scorned can't be changed. He tells her he can give her jewels, and money, make her super rich but she is not having it! She tells him to stop being such a spoiled brat, and he says that he wants her and won’t give up! Majandra finally tells him that if he does not leave she will, he takes the hint and agrees to go, but not before saying that he has never had a woman reject him, Majandra says that there's a first time for everything.
The clueless Pilots:
Eduardo is complaining to Octavio about being rooster blocked by Maricruz numero 3. She ruined his attempt at getting Aracely to run off to Mexico with him for a few days because she got him to admit that he was not going to marry her, he does not like Majandra because she's a busybody. Skip to a few scenes later and Eduardo and Octavio are discussing women again (don't these guys ever talk about sports or something?) anyhoo, the conversation eventually moves back to Maricruz3 and to Octavio’s interest in her, Ed suggests that Octavio is falling for Majandra and Octavio says nope, he could never fall for the snob! Maybe he's just attracted to her because she looks like Maricruz, Ed says that if he loved Maricruz he would have stayed with her in the ranch, Octavio shuts down this conversation real fast, I guess he hates talking about how he abandoned his poor wife and left without saying good bye, yep, that's something I would want to forget too.
Teobaldo, Aracely-Can this relationship be any more creepy?
Aracely is sitting around the house crying, she's sad because she had to give up her job and because Eduardo has said he does not want to marry her, she wants to go visit her family and Teobaldo reminds her that they agreed she would go to school, she says she doesn’t want to do anything! Eventually the conversation turns to her would be suitor, she loves Ed and Teo is scaring him away, Teo tells her that if Ed is really interested in her he should come and speak to him about his intentions (why? You’re not even a family member, this girl needs to get a job and run away in the middle of the night), and what if Ed does not want to meet with Teo? Well, in that case he will have to pay for all the tears Aracely sheds, okay, that’s not creepy, that’s not creepy at ALL.
End of Part 1-

PEAM #78-6/26/13: Whoever Marries Without Love, Pays The Price With Tears!
Pato, Rogelio is home!
-Good!
Read more »
-Good!
-Well, not so good, we have to sleep in separate beds!
-That's bad!
-Not so bad, he kicks and he wouldn't let me sleep!
-I know! I mean, that's good!
When Patricia arrives to Rogelio's home, the doctor is still there giving the last instructions. Then Rogelio starts to argue with Alma about the twin beds they need to sleep in tonight. Of course, Patricia is careless and mocks the reason why that happened, going to the extreme to make sexual jokes regarding the ''little problem''. Rogelio is devastated, he is being hit from all fronts. Alma, who should be staying in her penthouse at least until Rogelio gets better, decides to spend the night. The Unefón rings, and Alma tells them that Pancho López, from the main offices in Toluca, wants to see her immediately, so tomorrow, she will be traveling once again (would they belong to the high mile club?). Patricia, whose list includes sowing seeds of doubt in Alma's soul, makes fun of both until she gets what she wants, and tells Alma to find out who Rogelio really is.
Tomorrow will be a big day, so without a good night kiss, Rogelio and Alma go to bed and turn off the lights.

Qué Bonito Amor #52 (Mex 77.2-78) Tuesday 6/25/13
To live and die in El Lay
by Ellie
I missed the first 11 minutes of tonights episode becuase I was watching Catfish on MTV and forgot to set my DVR to record QBA, if I missed anything let me know
Oh boy this a dark episode and no one was having a good day.
Maria and the other vecindad folks learn that their slumlord Braulio wants them all out, and to that they say "hell no we won't go!" Maria stands up to Braulio and tells him that he will not be able to kick them out of their home, at least not without a legal battle. I missed whatever happened here but next thing I know Braulio, in full on sleazy mode comes to visit Amalia and tries to get all up in her business (I'd like to see women in these shows get rape whistles and pepper spray), she tries to get away from him but he is like white on rice and tries to kiss her, while telling her that she is poor by choice, if she gave him the time of day she would be set! While trying to escape his clutches she falls and bumps her head, Braulio runs away from the scene and offers no help.

CI: The Prince and the Pauper Pilots
capítulo 32
Carola doesn’t waste time in asking Alejandro what the true relationship between him and Maria Alejandra is. Don Ale tells her unequivocally that it’s not what she thinks; MariAle’s not his lover. Carola continues her deferential ministrations, toadying to Alejandro while professing total trustworthiness and scrupulous management of the casino and its accounts, but also continuing to question his intentions in sending this irreverent parvenu to scrutinize her every move and to oversee her bookkeeping. He tells Caro the girl’s a brilliant talent—well not for the casino biz, advises Carola. She’s flunked public relations by snubbing their big whale, Emir Karim. Papijandro gets a belly laugh and a half out of that little tidbit, putting a couple more kinks into a Caro’s sphincter. She poses the 64,000 peso question: does he still trust her?

Amores Verdaderos #160 Tue 6/25/13 Evil wears very red lipstick
Amores Verdaderos Cap 160 6-25-13—Evil wears very red lipstick
A quick overview, more coming later:
EVENTS NOT LISTED IN ORDER, MAY NOT BE ENTIRELY ACCURATE
* Nikki and Guzmancito discuss their grim financial circumstances. Nikki is resolved to tough it out. She looks through the help wanted ads; some promising positions (dead-end jobs) but each has something wrong with it. At least she's willing to consider dead-end jobs, though. Good for you, Nikki!
* The Furry Fornicator is going to seal the deal on a new house for Kendra-the-Ho. She's crowing in triumph. She's also got the FF to sign over insurance papers in hers and Mia's name, leaving Nikki out of the equation entirely.
* Paula wonders to herself how long she can keep her illness a secret. Makeup covers up the bags under her eyes and her pale complexion for now, but how much longer?
* At the grand opening of Lili's garden goes well—at first. Roy the Boy is becoming more and more likable as he embraces his garden assistant job under his "pretty boss," Lili. Drama plays out amidst the plants, however. Paula attends because Lili asked. Vicki and she bury the hatchet. Also Vicki buries the hatchet with Cande, now that she knows that Cande wasn't the ho that was off globetrotting with Anyballs when Vicki's mom was on her deathbed.
* Adriana confronts Cande now that she knows that she's Lili's "aunt." Why didn't Cande say anything? She and Anyballs are peas in a pod! Cande is so full of guilt that she's about to spill the beans ("She's more than your niece, she's your . . . !") but she chickens out at the last minute and just says that Lili regards Adri as a "second mother" and Cande urges Adri to make the most of that, as Lili really needs a mother-figure right now.
* Lili gives a tearful thank you speech to all the visitors, ending it with a heartfelt thanks to her mom, Christina.
* Kendra-the-Ho goes to visit Nikki and cause trouble. Nikki really isn't in the mood for it and keeps on telling Kendra to get the hell out. Kendra, of course, won't. She cries crocodile tears and pretends that she's "sorry" for all she's done. Nikki doesn't believe. Before the Ho leaves, she tells Nikki that Lili's big Grand Opening is today, and that Lili is the one taking advantage of Anyball's generosity, now that Nikki is on the outs with Anyballs.
* Nikki shows up at the Grand Opening to bum everyone out. She makes a jealous scene and bitches about Gramps and Lili. Lili says that Nikki is jealous (too true!). Nikki is ushered off and Gramps tries to smooth things over for the guests. Nikki tells a concerned Vicki that Gramps is closing doors for her and the Little Ape. Vicki seems surprised by this. (What? You think he wouldn't do that, after what he did to Carlos all those years ago?)
* Vicki approaches Anyballs about him blackballing Nikki and Guzmancito. Gramps says he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone. Vicki says she's an exception. He defends his douchebaggery by saying he doesn't approve of Guzmancito. This is all unacceptable for Vicki. She wants to help Guzmancito, as she later tells Big Angel. Big Angel understands, but advises her to be careful when offering help, as Guzmancito is like he is—poor, but proud.
* Vicki and Big Angel are discussing in a private corner of the garden, the bad blood between Nikki and Lili. They don't know what to do. Big Angel doesn't approve of the way Nikki talked to Lili. Lili has wandered by and overhears this. She stays to hear Vicki and Big Angel talk about "their relationship" and so the truth is out. She is all teary and unhappy and about to confront them when Roy the Boy pulls her away to tell her that they've got a big client! And there will be more where that comes from!
* On the way back home, Nikki passes by a restaurant with a "waitress wanted" sign. She goes in and asks for a job. Turns out the waitress they just hired hasn't shown up, so Nikki is going to get a chance! She is thrilled and gloats that regardless of Anyball's interference, she and Guzmancito will succeed, and the hell with Lili! Her little garden will fail, mwahahaha! Admiration and sympathy points for Nikki are all erased as she gloats at the thought of Lili's failure.
* The Ho is gloating with Espanto about her latest triumphs with the Furry Fornicator. He's getting them a house! She hints to Espanto that both the FF and her little sickly niña Mia are getting to be a drag. Espanto gets the message—he balks and says he's killed before, but killing a BABY?!?!? Even he won't sink that low! The Ho tells him that for the proper amount of cash, he'll manage. (Is this THE most evil character ever? I wonder!) Meanwhile, the FF has an upset—he isn't going to get the money to pay for the house after all. He's in a snit. When he tells the Ho the news, she has a shrieking fit. He hangs up on her—he doesn't need this crap right now! (Salsa-Dude is listening to this and chuckling to himself because he knows how furious the Ho will be.) The Ho complains to Espanto about this latest upset, but talks about the FF has more funds (his stock in the new account UltraBelle) which will be coming soon. She'll be swimming in money! Espanto leers greedily behind her.
END OF EPISODE!

PEAM, Tuesday 6/25/13 (#77): Relocations and Dislocations
Briefly:
Cardenas proudly shows off his no-longer-mysterious tube TV/telenovela collection to Chatita.
At home, Eli is despondent that Vero moved out. Minerva tries to cheer him up, saying there's always hope. But she sounds like she's quoting a fortune cookie. Meanwhile, Marisela is coming up the walk and thinking that this palatial estate is just the place for her.
The boner specialist says that not only will Alma and Rogue have to wait before they can have relations, but Alma will have to sleep in another bed. Otherwise, you know, she might thrash around in her sleep and knock that thing clean off of him by mistake. (Yes. We'll just say it was a mistake.) Patymelt pretends to be amazed that Alma isn't just climbing the walls in frustration to be with her new husband. She gloats openly in front of Rogue and imagines laying a passionate kiss on him in front of Alma.
Chucho comes home to Vero's surprise dinner. He is very, very slow to understand that she intends to live with him; but when he finally understands, he refuses. Emphatically. Sort of. But she is so pathetic: she has nowhere to go. She has no money. Eli cut off all her bank cards and whatnot, and she spent all the rest on groceries for this dinner. (Note for Vero next time: you don't need to buy two cows to feed three people for one meal.)
Fernando actually gets a warmer welcome from his cellmate than Vero got from Chucho. By bedtime, they have bonded sufficiently for Fernando to confide that he had nothing to do with Rogue's crime; he never made a dime off of it; he's loyal to Rogue because Rogue cared for Fernando like a father; and their father was never around when they were growing up.
One more thing...
Alma tells Rogue that she's been summoned to Avon's Maximum Wrinkle-Stopping Ultimate Mosquito-Repelling Supreme Control Center Anti-Aging Home Office Anti-Smudge Mega-Headquarters in Toluca. She has to go tomorrow. Rogue suspects this won't turn out well for him.

Porque el Amor Manda #76, Monday 24 June. What happens when you call a girl a princess and put her on a pedestal.
So Val's gone walkabout from the office, and everyone is friqueando. They look "everywhere", meaning mostly in their own area. The guards say she hasn't left the building, so Chucho runs down the fire stairs, and then back up again, to show off his fitness. Then he searches the conference room and men's room back in the admin area. No luck. He runs down to the garage, and Alma follows. Val isn't there, but our Trepid Heroes have time for some Significant Looks and a leisurely chat about having faith before they take up the search once more...back in the admin office.
Meanwhile, down in the bodega, row upon row of boxes is neatly stacked on racks. Val finds one of only three wooden crates in the whole place, half full of packing peanuts, decides this is her princess carriage, and climbs in and closes it. See, this is what happens when you keep telling little girls they are princesses. So here come our warehouse dudes, who of course need to lift that almost-empty wooden crate way up to the top of a high and precarious stack of cardboard boxes, which are not on racks, with the forklift. Their only task for the day done, they leave. Val is friqueando and screaming for Daddy.

anvil approaches.
Jorge

doesn't want to accept Oscar as his father. He tries to convince the
boy that rancor eats up the soul and it isn't good to hold onto it.
Roddy looks like he might listen.

Amores Verdaderos #159 Mon 6/24/13 Who needs Paul Revere when you have Felipe Guzman, Adriana Balbanera and Frankie Guzman to travel lightning fast and deliver the headlines??
Have to edit for accuracy in the morning but here is the draft.
Anyballs meets with Roy, tells him he will support his relationship with Lilli (WHOA THERE!! is the facial expression of Roy).. Roy asks why. Anyballs gives him crap tte of 'i know Lilli has feelings for you' But we know better, Anyballs says to himself that Nikki might have left with the useless lastname Frankie, but he will make sure Lilli joins a man with a decent surname!! (GRRRR!!!)
niki surprised guzmi ripped check form nilbrains, he says we will make it... she is happy with that.
she is heading to another job prospect. and then will check with lawyer on status of her divorce.
Felipe forces his way through into Paula's place. He is irate, the man who broke us up turns out to have been precisely Anyballs Barbie!! She can't calm him down... If Frankie had known you were his bosse's lover he would never have been at that house... and now my son is in love with that man's granddaughter!! and our daughter also works for that guy!! all our lives depend on that man!! our children must know that!! (he heads out but she stops him)
Vicky puts Adri up to speed with ANyballs and Paula's discovery. Adri reminds Vicky that apparently there is a curse on broken relationships... Maybe we should not judge Paula, she fell in the claws of that man. Vicky not so sold. But Adri insists and Vicky remembers when he was in hospital for his heart attack, he mentioned having another daughter, could it be Bea? no, not a chance. THen who?? with what lover??
Felipe visits Frankie, will give him terrible news that will hurt him. You have right to know.

Corazon Indomable, #31, Monday, June 24, 2013 –“Woman of Steel” MariAle Teaches Casino Skanks a Few Lessons in the Art of Seduction…..Without Trying!!!
Recap by LatinaInMD
I went to see “Man of Steel” this weekend. Then I returned home to watch MariAle’s odyssey on Episode 31 of C.I. and realized that both characters have much more in common than “Clark Kent Syndrome”: (i) both have powers/skills beyond human comprehension; (ii) he can kill with his piercing blue eyes; she could kill with her piercing green eyes; (iii) both deal with dimwits who fail to grasp their own inferiority; (iv) both see fighting evil and doing justice as their life’s destiny; and (v) last but not least, both begin life as simple country folk and end up in the city looking like supermodels. (Feel free to add to the list.)

Note: some scenes are combined.
We begin with Octavio losing his shirt…..figuratively.
(Sorry ladies, no dice. We are still waiting for THAT big
reveal!!!!) He and MariAle lock eyes. (If her looks could kill!!!)
She tells him she has the feeling that he is a gambling addict, otherwise she
can’t explain to herself what he just did. He tells her he did it on
purpose, “for her”, to be able to “approach her” (“abordarla” – a bit of a
double entendre, as it also means “to climb aboard”). “You don’t say,”
she replies with a slight laugh, but continuing to glare at him. “I’m
very drawn by your presence. I want to observe you at all times…..until I
convince myself.” “Convince yourself of what?” “That you
are Maricruz.” She replies quickly and firmly: “My name is
Maria Alejandra.” “Oh, so you ARE Maria Alejandra?” “Yes
sir!! When have I denied it?” He tells her he saw her at Toluca
airport and called her by her name, but she did not respond. She says
maybe she didn’t hear him, but he doesn’t believe that. Well, she says,
its also not enjoyable having a total stranger screaming to get your
attention. “Because that is what you are to me, a total stranger.” She
reminds him he knows her name, but she doesn’t know his. “My name is
Octavio….Octavio Narvaez.” A slight hint of the tell-tale dimples
appears on MariAle’s face, but she remains cool as a cucumber as she continues
to stare him down. “That name doesn’t tell you anything?”
She takes a deep breath, smiles broadly, and responds: “Nothing.”

Amores Verdaderos EXTRA – El Clamor Publico No. 3 – 6/24/13
El Clamor Publico
This 3d issue of El Clamor Publico© features another Patio Chatter, Re-Quotable Quotes, re-running
NovelaMaven’s Feb. 27, 2013, Advice Column for Characters Experiencing Non-Cognitive
Dissonance in their Roles and The
Collected Wisdom of Diana appears in this issue. Ed. Note: Most portions of the content have appeared in other
publications.
WEEKEND EDITION HEADLINES
Anibal Balvanera, scion of the Balvanera Fortune 1500 empire and
controlling partner, is nominated to the Below Par Daddies List for 2013. When
asked if he is pleased, he exclaimed of course, he always shoots Under Par.
Nicole Brizz, young socialite matron spends the day shopping for a
job. Claims it's hard on the feet.
Piano for sale, but not just yet. Can only play Chopin and
Liszt on rainy soggy days.
Guillo’s gives away his mother’s hand, while still attached.
Help No Longer Wanted at the new nursery-greenhouse to be
opening soon.
Ex-model Kendra Ferretti was recently observed at a spa,
getting herself back into shape three days after a C-Section. Assures paparazzi
that her new daughter is being well taken care of.
Re-Quotable Quotes
Would it be tacky to
hope she [Cris] gets run over by a bus? Soon? [Doris—her prediction came
true-except for the bus part-and she is abjectly remorseful for planting the
idea in the writers’ minds and promises to stay out of the prediction business.
That’s Opalina’s department.]
Can Spirits join us on
the Patio? I'm sure she'll have a great time skewering Kendra from the great
beyond when she finds out what she was up to. [Anita]
…we did bring back the
departed to the Patio one day when we were in the Pits and all the beloved
characters were dropping like flies. It was an oddly comforting exercise, as I
recall. [NovelaMaven answers]
So glad The Patio
doesn't discriminate against the spirit world. It'll be nice to see Cris there.
If Leo goes, though, how do we keep him out? [Anita responds]

Hello Patio Peeps, this recap will not be in order. I have combined some scenes to make the recap flow better. I also missed some things, so please feel free to correct/add in the comments. thanks Y'all!
We start this epi with Salsa Dude in the FF's office thinking that that Zorra (Ho) Kendho, has gotten everything she wants and that she probably killed Nabila and Cris. What to do, what to do?????
Frankie's Job Hunt Continues:
Poor Frankie is hitting the streets looking for a job. He fills out multiple applications at different agencies and of course noone hires him, pobrecito!
Nikki Looks For a Job, Who Knew?
Nikki is in one of those exclusive boutiques, when a sales lady asks if she needs some help? Nah, really does she need help? Well, she is looking for work! The lady tells her to go to personnel and good luck. Nikki is just well, Nikki. She looks at a dress hanging in that boutique and I bet she is thinking, I used to come in here and buy all kinds of things at the drop of a hat, but now, meh not so much.
