Porque el Amor Manda #94: There Are None So Blind as Those Who Collide With Statues
By Blue Lass
Typical family day at the Ice Palace: Eli is spending quality time with Valentina; Vero is spending quality time with her makeup bag. As Vero sweeps out, Vale tells her about their excellent adventure! They visited a hovel! Five minutes of friqueando and picking through Vale's hair for lice, then Vero's in the wind. Meanwhile, Marta is in the bushes. She looks like she got into Vero's makeup bag.
Vero arrives at Rogue's and finds Paty on the landing. Lest we miss the underlying drama there, special effects splits the screen and rings a boxing bell. Veronica makes snide clasista remarks down her nose, while Paty paints a word picture of Jesus and Alma in Cancun – she's figuring Chucho is “UF-RE-UF” in the sack. The mutual needling quickly turns into a nerdy little girlfight. They both make better fists than Alma, but Vero's clearly afraid to touch anything with hers. (My money would be on Patycakes if I thought anyone would actually bet against me -- but Xochi could take both of them.)
Rogue opens the door and invites both gals in. He may not have a preference, but Sanson clearly does – he lets Paty sail right up the stairs and into the bedroom, but Vero gets the special bulldog unwelcome. She says she wants to talk strategy, but she really doesn't have any new ideas. Rogue does, though – he says he knows how to serve Vero up to Jesus on a silver platter, whatever that means. The way this show is going, it could mean on an actual silver platter, surrounded by tamales. Pre-sanitized, of course.
Cut to Marta at home, talking to a child-sized doll about how much she loves her little Jimena-boots. Either the doll or the inside of Marta's head has a really creepy child-sized giggle.

Amores Verdaderos #177 Fri 7/19/13 Three Daddies and a Little Baby; Balzac (hehe) Speaks!
Hola Patio Peeps, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, okay, this epi isn't exactly a "Tale of Two Cities", but it is the tale of three daddies and a baby and an intercession. So please, grab your box of tissues, a glass of Bailey's with ice, and rotten tomatoes to throw at Anyballs and relax on the patio, if you can and savor this recap as it unfolds. Oh, and of course this recap will not be in order.
Two Daddies In Lili's Hospital Room:
Daddy Angel comes into Lili's room first and tells her good morning and gets absoultely no response as she lays there, pale and still. Angel is a mite worried and Doc Vicente comes in and Angel tells him about the no reaction as Vicente thinks to himself, this is my daughter. Doc Hottie goes over to Lili and tells Angel to wait outside so he can examine her to find out what the problem is, essentially to do his job. Angel reluctantly waits right outside the door.
Chapel:
Adri has brought little Adrian with her and she introduces little Adrian to the Virgincita and thanks her for the little miracle. While Adri is there she also asks for Cris' intercession with Dios to save Lili's life. Seems Lili needs a miracle.
Hospital:
Angel is busy pacing the halls, when Doc Hottie and his team are hurriedly trying to wheel Lili by, when Angel stops the gurney. He wants to speak to Lili but Doc Hottie is trying to discourage him, they are in a mad hurry. Angel wants to know what's wrong and Doc Hottie tells him it's urgent they get to surgery with Lili, what does Angel do? Wants to talk to Lili and he's a mite snippy, for the love of Dios man, just let her go to surgery! He tells Lili to be strong and finally Doc Hottie tells him it's really time to go. The Doc and the team wheel Lili to the O.R.

Corazón Indomable Fri. July 19 "I'd Love To Sin With You."
So Maricruz has stashed the kid (either boarding her at the Isla Dorada Infant Kennel or better perhaps, leaving her in Juanita's care), boxed up the remains of don Alejandro for shipping, and flown him back to Mexico City. She chose to save a few bucks by air freighting him back on a commercial flight rather than going to the expense of cranking up don A's private jet... it's not like he would have noticed the difference, anyway, so let's not be hating on her.We find ourselves with Maricruz, Tobías, and Octavio, who has some how managed to tag along, in the entryway of the mansion. Tobías seems genuinely affected by don A's death and sinks down to the second step of the stairway and weeps.

| Good Grief!...No, Really...Good...Grief |
"Mi amigo," he sobs.

Qué Bonito Amor #69 (Mex 103-104.1) Friday 7/19/13 Bringing Down The House!
capítulo 103 & 104 (formerly Of Tramps, Vamps and Various Criminals' Deals)
Lo Del Pasado:
And On With The Show!
The crowd this evening gets
another sort of spectacular to watch on stage.
The twenty-something, rich, politically connected punks refuse to admit
that Lead Punk propositioned Maria on stage during her serenade. (Hey, Trampira de Elvira—call your daddy’s
office! New meat! Have I got a guy for you!) JAntos continues beating the
snot out of all three snooty brats. El Coloso loves a good brawl and decides to
join the fight as soon as he learns Rich Punk Twenty-Somethings tried propositioning Maria
during the stage performance.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Snotty Punks threaten
the so-called two-bit small-time bar [el changarro] and its slutty 2-bit ranchera,
aka, La Perla Tapatia once Politically Connected Daddy gets wind of this with lawsuits. Concho races in to stop the brawl and finds
out from JA what started it. Suddenly
the police show up to stop the brawl.
At the same time, outside Concho’s office, malicious Mirna
and La Vampira de Elvira call a truce and conspire to join forces against Maria
and JA, who’re becoming too big for their britches for these two bitches. Mirna will show Vi the ropes of managing Daddy’s
bar so that she’ll supposedly be giving the orders around there in no time
flat. They also have a good time giving
Lourdes grief over her supposed illicit relationship with El Soñador. Lourdes won’t give up the goods on Soñador to
either Mirna or Vi and takes unnecessary lip from Trampira.

Weekend Discussion: Broadcast Formats
In the last few years we've had our ups and downs with double episodes, episodes and a half, and time slot changes. Putting aside our specific issues about how this affects us, how do you feel about this?
I'm just old enough to remember the days when US soaps were only half an hour. That never felt right; I always felt cheated, especially about Dark Shadows. NBC's Another World was the first soap to go to a one hour episode length in 1978 and that was the beginning of the trend for the rest. A later attempt at 90-minute episodes failed and the program went back to 60-minute episodes.
The current broadcast pattern of QBA has an episode and a half with one commercial break and a slightly earlier start time not given to the cable and satellite systems that carry Univision. It seems to work for the network or they wouldn't be doing it. Televisa scripts are written to make for a major or minor cliffhanger at the halfway mark or the end of the standard-length episode so that they can air in any 30-minute increment, which is why we usually don't feel like the broadcast is ending on the wrong note. All this requires is (usually) deleting the "in last night's episode" section at the beginning and picking up where the previous night's episode left off. No objections from me!
If you weren't blogging this series, what is your preferred episode length? Would you want the networks to repeat the episode after midnight or on a sister network just in case? Do you prefer watching them on Hulu or anything similar? How do you feel about limited commercial breaks? Trust me; if a program remains in prime time with fewer ads, those advertisers are paying more for that time.

Corazon Indomable #48 A Great Man Falls, and The Truth is Finally Out
We start with MC feeding Don Ailing in his hospital room. Am I the only one who is bothered by the way she’s treating him like a child? He’s sad that he could never feed her when she was a baby. Carola interrupts their child play and frowny faces are had by all.
In the cockpit, Octavio and Ed are told that the Governor’s daughter is on the plane. She wants to see Octavio. He doesn’t want to, but flight attendant woman convinces him that it might be in his best interest to not make the daughter of the Governor unhappy. And she’s had a few drinks too. Can’t wait to see if she’s a happy drunk or a mean drunk.
Carola wants to buy the casino for more than she offered before because she doesn’t want any partners. She offers $5 milliion. They are shocked. Can’t yet tell if the shock is because it’s too low or real high. It seems low to me, but I have no idea what casinos go for nowadays.

PEAM #93-7/17/13: Not Even Uri Could Have Spoiled Those Two Nights Of Passion!
Recap By Pablo
Read more »
Somewhere around 3:15 pm (mid afternoon coffee time), at Avon, Xóchitl was talking to Jéssica.
-Now, if you allow me to tell you... started Xóchitl while a very upset Jéssica interrupted her to start to imitate Quico while threatening to go to the night club and give Natasha a lesson in ''Only one reason why you don't steal anybody's love interests''. -I will go up on the stage and drag her down beating her to a pulp!- said the gorgeous brunette.
What Jéssica doesn't know is that Natasha has the whole Karate Kid movie collection (and too much time on her hands) and she knows how to defend herself, so, I would go very carefully near her...
Somewhere around 3:30 pm Elías went to pick up Valentina from school and saw Marta Ferrer, or Dr Loca, as we know her in the Caray community, so he immediately told the teacher not to let her get too close to the girl. The hamster in her brain doesn't spin the wheel and she is dangerous.
Somewhere around 3:45 pm, Uri gets a priceless gift. His freedom! Thanks to some maneuvers and money from Rogelio (who is always crying because he is almost broke), he is now free and he is furious! Although he swears he will never look for Jesús and/or touch him with a rose petal, much less hurt him, I am sure he will try, at least not on the face, but right there where we can not see...

Amalia and Ruben face-off
Amalia finally seems to have grown a back bone, I doubt that her new attitude will last longer than an episode or two but let us all hold hands and cherish the fact that for one glorious moment she has seen the light and is trying to stand up for Maria and Jorge. She has called Ruben to her house and he hopes that she has finally made up her mind about turning Jorge in to the police, she tells him that this is not the case, she has called him to ask that he leave her daughter alone. Ruben tells her that everything he has done has been to try and protect Maria because he loves her (oh, gag me with a spoon!), "yes, but you also loved your wife at one point and yet you abandoned her, I'm sure the love you feel for my daughter can also disappear, Jorge has proven that he loves my daughter above all else, and I ask that you respect their love and get out of our lives", she then goes to the door, tells him that the discussion is over and asks him to leave. Ruben stands outside and says that " no one, no one treats me this way and gets away with it". I guess it sucks to be you today dear Ruben.

Amores Verdaderos #175 Tue 7/16/13 We have Prince Charming and we have some jumping of the shark
Something more will be put here later. Discuss amongst yourselves. Quick overview with more planned to be added later.
 |
| Yep, he kisses her hand and says he'll be her stand-in baby daddy. *Viewerville melts.* |
It's been one of those days. I hate this. I want to do this episode more justice. I'll do that later. It might be much later today. Check back for updates. Lo siento!
For now, here's the super-short version based on a sketchy memory. Events may not be listed in order.
* Vicki tells Big Angel that if Lili survives, that she'll give up Big Angel forever, for Lili's sake. Much crying and teeth gnashing over this decision.
* Vicente is a dream come true for Adri. If that deadbeat dad Joan-Carlos doesn't want to be a daddy to Adri's baby, Vicente will! Hand kissing. Sigh.
* Roy the Boy visits Lili in the hospital, but his Prince Charming kiss doesn't awaken our Disney Princess. She dreams only of the Little Ape. (More on that later.)
* Big Angel tries to get Lili to wake up. She opens her eyes briefly. Big Angel is beside himself with grief and worry over her condition.
* Big Angel finds out that Roy the Boy is there at the hospital. Big Angel pops a cork. Roy the Boy convinces Big Angel of his sincerity. The two exchange a manly hug, united in solidarity over their love for Lili.
* Joan-Carlos is ticked off that Adriana seemed to move on so quickly. Jocelyn says, "What did you expect? You didn't want to be tied down! You snooze you lose!" Joan-Carlos says that he got to feel "love" for Adri, she's the first one that got to him feel at that level since Vicki, but I believe he still reiterated his disinterest in babies. Well you know dude, keep that thought because there's a Prince in White Scrubs that will be more than happy to step in for you, and frankly at the moment I think he's way hotter than you. (This opinion is subject to change, depending on how the plotline develops.)
* The Ho is talking to her henchman (I'll remember his name but don't ask me to give it now) about bumping off Gramps, because he's ticking her off with calling her on her B.S. and all. Henchman suggests that she can get to Gramps (Anibal) by trying to seduce him instead. She's willing to give it a shot. Gramps is a douchebag, but no dummy. He's not falling for it. (I drifted off during part of this so I could be getting some of it wrong.)
* Lili our Disney Princess dreams (literally, she sleeps and dreams) of a Disney Princess wedding to the Little Ape. Oh barf.
* Earlier Big Angel heard Lili whisper "Francisco!" when she briefly woke up, so the Little Ape goes in to visit her. She says she is slipping away, has no reason to live. Her dad Big Angel is got a baby on the way and a new woman. Lili doesn't need to stick around. She has only one dream in her life, and there's no time for it to be realized—she'd love to marry Guzmancito. Well, Guzmancito obviously can't grant her wish. Or can he?
* Guzmancito tells the awaiting crowd in the hospital waiting room that Lili has one last wish and that's to get hitched to him. Roy the Boy doesn't like the sound of it. But Nikki says that since Lili's going to check out soon, that Guzman should do this for her. The Little Ape has tears streaming down his face. (JUMPING THE SHARK, WE ARE JUMPING THE SHARK HARD.)
* Cande overhears Adri crying over Lili and (for a reason I missed, will fill in later!) realizes that she can't keep the secret of Lili's parentage a secret any longer. She pulls Adri aside and just dumps the truth on her. Doesn't give her the specifics, just that Lili is Lucia. Adri is spitting mad, incredulous, yadda yadda. Candi pleads with Adri to not let Big Angel know, because it would crush him. Adri's fondness for Big Angel and his inherent decentness doesn't take much time to kick in and she agrees that no one should know of Lili's true parentage. Poor Big Angel doesn't deserve that. She makes Candi promise that she won't say anything of this (that Adri knows the truth) to Gramps. END OF EPISODE.
AVANCES: Adri tells Vicente that Lili is "their" daughter. Adri gives birth. Joan-Carlos comes to see her. Guzmancito visits Lili and says he's willing to fulfill her dream.

PEAM, Tuesday 7/16/13 (#92): I Was Told There Would Be Pancakes.
In the avances for tonight's show, I saw Yuri stab some pancakes with a fork. I was very worried about those pancakes. I thought about them all day long. But tonight, I saw no pancakes. I watched twice.
But we don't talk about food here as if that's the only thing on our minds. We're trying to prove that we're different; we're not like those other people who show up for a recap with a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine but in the back of their minds are just thinking "chilaquiles... mole poblano... pozole..." like cavemen. Or animals. We want to distinguish ourselves as the sort of people who are above such things. Or at least the sort of people who can temporarily pretend to be above such things.
As for sex...

Here is the recap, guys! I apologize for any spelling mistakes, it's 2a.m. in my part of the world and I'm feeling so sleepy. I'll try to find them tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes.
At long last, Don Ailing finds out Maricruz is his daughter. And his crying is breaking my heart as he desperately squeezes MC to his chest.
At long last, Don Ailing finds out Maricruz is his daughter. And his crying is breaking my heart as he desperately squeezes MC to his chest.
The shock of the news makes him feel dizzy, though, so he asks MC to get
him to a doctor, since he wants to live a little bit longer. Carola watches
them – she is not amused by the touching father-daughter reunion.
Back in Mexico
City,
Solita is still in labor, but the baby is coming upside down and they don’t
know how to communicate with the poor girl. They manage to make her push and
after a lot of cringing and heavy breathing, the baby is finally out and
healthily crying. He is huge and very clean, but he is such a cutie…
Tobias is waiting for news in the hallway. The doctor comes to tell him
everything was fine, Solita had a healthy baby boy; she is still tired, but
there is hope she will recover.
Don Ailing is in the hospital, too; he seems to be in a state of shock,
as the doctor revises him and then asks to talk to MC outside the room.

PEAM # 91 - July 15,2013 - Not Sex but Plenty of Lies and at Least One Video Tape
Caballo de madera por Agustín Cruz Prudencio de San Agustín de las Juntas, Oaxaca, Mexico
After so long away, I may be somewhat confused but not any more than the characters I see. Feel free to chime in with corrections and clarifications. I can only concentrate on the well fitted shirt that Jesús is straining to its very fiber… oops… back to the plot.
After an interminable delay (how many episodes?) Jesús is about to face Alma at the door of her suite where she is pouting, planning, whimpering… in beautiful Cancun. And we get that famous "Que Hace Aquí" phrase from Alma. He confesses that Chatita, Patricia and her Papa all knew where she was so big secret!
Chatita yells for Panfilo when Mari comes in to him and is friendly with her Papa then Chatita enters handing the paper over to Panfilo who seems to be having a stroke or loss of sight with hallucinatory medical film strips. Are his eyes worse than the memory losses that Chatita is having? The perfect couple, they are at least kind with each other.
Another perfect couple, Sebastian and Susana discuss that Alma has run him out of the house so he can't remain calm without upset as Susana advises.

Corazón Indomable #46, 7/15/13: Fatherhood is a Joy for Don Ale; But Motherhood is a B*tch to Solita
Maricruz enters Carola’s office and shows her a copy of the smoking gun check. Carola claims she don’t know nuttin’ bout nuttin’. She could give Lady Gaga a run for her money with her poker face. La Mendoza claims she and El Zorillo are thick as…well, thieves, and he gave her the check. Carola accuses Mari of being the accomplice of El Zorillo, and Mari counters that Carola will never be allowed to buy the casino now. Face off!
After reading Miguel’s Debbie Downer letter about not being too keen on spawning another child with Luciafer, Octavio reads Luciafer’s version of things, where apparently it’s all Tav’s fault, and he needs to straighten out his brother. Miguel is such a sensitive soul, and his funk is NOT Luciafer’s fault, but instead the fault of Tav and that savage he brought into their lives. He better fix it! Tav is sure that his brother’s problem is remorse (remordimiento). Tav does also admit his own guilt in the whole mess.
Carola makes like Cleopatra—a queen floating on her barge down the river DeNial. She claims she already cancelled that check, so Mari has no proof. Mari claims it’s still good enough proof of her shady morals. Carola and Raiza want to know what she wants. Mari wants to make a deal (un pacto). We get repeats of the same argument we’ve heard a dozen times before. “I’m Don Ailing’s daughter.” No, you’re not. Yes I am. And I’ll prove it. “You’re cooking the books.” No, I’m not. Yes, you are. And I’ll prove it once I finally get to take a look at the real books. (At this point, I want less talk and more action from our indomitable girl.) Carola is confident that Don Ailing will sell her the casino tomorrow, to be done with all the trouble that is hastening his death. Plus, it’s not like he wants for money or even casinos, since he has so many. “It’s like plucking one hair from a cat!” “Either you proceed legally with my father, or we’ll BOTH lose the casino. It won’t belong to either you or me!”

PEAM #90- Elbow Loves and Silk Stalkings
First, a nice refrito of Jesus patting himself down thoroughly in
search of his missing phone, in just the way that I know all you girls…never
mind. Onward!
Jesus gets the skinny from the babbling Avonites about the flight
to Cancun. Time is of the essence, so naturally he proceeds to have several
conversations: engaging Doña Su for bastard-sitting and Elias for
princess-sitting, chatting with Vale, and then talking with Seb about
fatherhood and daughterhood. Good thing nothing’s on fire. Okay, now he really
has to run. He grabs a photo of Alma on the way out to use as a visual aid.
Alma lands in Cancun completely drained -- not even enough energy for one little noogiefist! She sinks into a chair at the cabstand with all the expression of a lawn ornament. (Well, I wanted her to stop acting.) Using symbolic telenovela language, she communicates that she’s really mad at the Chooch-man by taking off the ugly bracelet -- but she communicates that she’ll forgive him eventually by not throwing it away.

Jesus arrives at the airport with his purloined photo and his
tight jeans and his sincere look and gives the (female) ticket agent and the
rest of the (female) travelers in line an impassioned speech about his guardian
angel and his love for her. (Not sure why he waxes rhapsodic about Alma’s
beautiful blue eyes, when on the doll – and more important, in all the Reina y
Ayudante cartoons – she has green eyes. Beanie, beanie, who’s got the beanie?)
Anyway, his no-surprise-prize on Mexican Idol is the last seat on the last
flight out to Cancun. The ladies all clap and exhort him to run-run-run.
Vero invites herself over to Casa Rogue to talk strategy. Rogue
and Vero should swap jackets. She’d look much better in the pink job, and that
blackish floofy thing she’s wearing kind of matches his hair. Rogue wants to
know what Jesus has that he doesn’t, and Vero gives him a cataloged list: he’s
kind, generous, honest, sincere, authentic, trustworthy, and he’s got wicked
nice arms. You have to wonder why, if Veronica values all these virtues so
highly, she has made absolutely no effort to cultivate them in herself. She’s
right about the arms, though. They agree to collaborate on dirty deeds to be
named later.
Alma checks into her hotel, where she gets her very own personal
hostess, who gives her another ugly bracelet and some hand-frothed tree spinach
juice. I guess when Vero got all real & meaty, she donated her collection
of weird green drinks to the poor impoverished Mayan hotel-owners. Apparently
this particular cocktail makes you thought-bubble -- but only about bad things.
And then you want to…ACT. Someone stop her!
Jess shimmies up to Fernando and tries to talk him into a date,
but he has a previous harassment. She persuades an unhappy but susceptible
Cardenas to follow Fer to the nightclub. Poor little guy. What does he see in
her that none of the rest of us can see? I for one am getting tired of all the
flouncing and pouting. She acts like she’s two years old and someone just
turned off the Teletubbies.
Back in the dressing room, it’s gloves-on, and Julio can’t
restrain himself – he sweeps Xochi into a big ol’ backward-dipping kiss that
knocks her glasses askew. This time she doesn’t look altogether displeased. But
the show must go on – Julio introduces Natasha, and an enraptured Fer does the
beings-of-light dance to the same old song. When Desencanto hotly pursues a
giggling Xochi back to the dressing room, she tells Julio to keep him out, but
when he knocks, she invites him in! Makeover…or bipolar? You decide.
Finale: Through diligence and subterfuge, Jesus finally locates
Alma and knocks on her door. She makes the box-mouth.
In other news: Chatita gets dizzy, Don Gil just wants to get
drunk, and Sanson definitely does NOT like Veronica.

Corazon Indomable #45, 7/12/2013: Breaking News: El casino de la Isla has been robbed! (And we now get to hear about it and its aftermath from 5 different viewpoints!)
Recap by CeCe
Isla
We begin with Alejandro looking dapper in his work wear
talking on the phone to Tobias. He updates him on the latest news, a client won a lot of money on the ship. MC believes that it was a trap by Carola and Tobias
agrees with her opinion. Alejandro also tells Tobias that MC is now a mother, and he tells Solita.
Celebrations and cheers all around!!
The very same Carola is in the office with Tony and finds
out that her accomplice was robbed. Raiza is now informed and she is all “I told you
so” mode. Carola agrees and feels like she is losing this war.
MA is with the cute not named baby and the nanny. MA is mad
that she was not told about Alejandro returning to stay at the hotel. MA is about to run
off and see him when there is a ring at the door. Some admirer (Karim anyone!)
has sent her a rather interesting looking bouquet of flowers. The nanny
finds a jewelry box in the set of flowers (now we are talking) with a note.
Karim thanks her in the note and says that the jewelry is to complement the
payment. MA is very confused at Karim’s inferences, wondering if it is
some custom from his country.
The brain of the crazy plan is talking to one of Karim’s
henchman trying to justify what he did. If Karim ever found out, he will have
his head cut off!! They discuss something that I am really not paying
attention to, but my brain engages again when Mohammed states that he will talk
to Karim and if he doesn’t mind him, then he will bring the brother in (Uh-oH).
(I didn’t catch much of the convo, so please fill in if I missed something
important.)
