Damian talks to Mercedes on the phone. She is happy to hear that he is recuperating. Damian promises soon he will be fishing again. Mercedes just wants him to get well. As soon as she finishes up her business obligations, she will be down to see him. Damian says perhaps when you return, I will give you some good news. Marina wants to know what good news he's going to give Mercedes when she returns. Do you really want to know asks Damian smiling that sexy smile. That you and I are going to get married. I know it may be a little soon to talk about, but after everything that has happened; I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. They kiss.

Beatriz can't believe that Hernan wants her to lie to her daughter. He thinks this is the only way that they can separate Marina from Damian. We can't allow them to be together. You're the only one that can break them apart otherwise this will end in matrimony. Beatriz says she would be upset if Marina ended up with someone that didn't deserve her. She is sentencing herself to unhappiness. Beatriz decides to listen to Hernan and help break up Marina and Damian.

PEAM #130-9/9/13: Daddy Jesus Ruins His Beloved Daughter's Birthday Party!

I am sure Cheryl is having a lot of fun in Italy, so we will have our fun too!
Welcome to my first Monday recap subbing for Cheryl. Fasten your seatbelts, this will be a bumpy ride!
 
Recap By Pablo
How often do these people switch intros back and forth? I am getting dizzy!!

Interest has feet (el interés tiene pies)

Elías brings sweet bread to Chatita's house for breakfast but she has tamales of gallaga or guava or guayaba, I didn't understand, besides her selective amnesia, she has some kind of speech impairment. Later she said she has a lot of eggs, what in mexican slang means she is very courageous. The bigger the eggs, the bigger the courage!
Elías didn't actually want to have breakfast, but asks Chatita about Patricia and her feelings for him.
Chatita has found out Elías suffers the syndrome of ''Knight in shining armor'' rescuing damsels in distress.
Verónica is neurotic, Marisela is not happy with who she is, Marta is crazy, Patricia is a mess, do you really want to keep that pattern?

Qué Bonito Amor #105 (Mex 143) Monday 9/9/13 Love Among the Ruins



Lo del Pasado

Santos thinks of Maria and the head shots, Maria and Susanito talk about his problem.   Concho talks about Susanito [fortunately he doesn't know about this problem] and his forthcoming medical problem.  Maria writes another letter.  The guard talks to the warden.  Mike goes to see Santos in his cell and they argue (see Friday's entry). He's losing his perspective in accusing Santos of caring only about Maria and not about Justo and Wendy.


Lo de Nuevo

Deserted Street: Justo pulls up in his car to suspenseful music as Giuliano lines up a shot with another hunting rifle.

Mexico City, Street: Oscar takes a walk with Angelica. They're eating ice cream as he talks and points out his Mariachera, the car, and invites her for a ride. We see that she is wearing platform wedgies [so the actress doesn't look too short next to Pablo Montero, who still needs a shave].

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS - week of September 9

Here is your post, commenters. Sorry it's a little late.

SANTA viewers: I saw this on a Spanish news site today:


  Se forma la tormenta tropical “Humberto”
La tormenta tropical “Humberto” se formó hoy cerca de las costas africanas de Cabo Verde y podría transformarse en huracán...

My translation:  Tropical Storm "Humberto"Forms
Tropical Storm "Humberto" formed today near Cabo Verde on the African coast and could become a hurricane...

Substitute "Marrero" for Cabo Verde and you pretty much have what is going on on SANTA.

Enjoy!!!

Corazon Indomable #85, 9/9/13: Lupita’s Mommy and Daddy Continue to Pimp Themselves; Let’s Hope She Doesn’t Follow in the Family Business

The Old: Tav tries to break up with Doris; she refuses to be broken up with. Mari treats us to a Venganza Monologue (thanks Adriana) about how Rancho Narvaez will be “MIO!”

The New: The next day (new outfit indicates this), Maria Alejandra is enjoying a quiet moment, doing work in her office and surprisingly NOT giving us a Venganza Monologue, when all of a sudden La Hija del Gobernador bursts in, packing heat. Doris, dressed very fashionably and tastefully for murder, in a grey and black chiffon dress, points her handgun at Mari, steadying it with her left hand, and says, “You are NOT going to marry my father, and you certainly aren’t going to end up with my boyfriend!”

All of this makes Ester, La Loca, look very sane as she continues to dig for water with a garden trowel in Realengo. Her blind neighbor girl, Lina, passes by and Ester lures her over with some bread. Lina especially likes sweet bread and mentions that her dad brings her bread, sometimes. Ester can’t contain her enchantment with the little girl and kisses her hand, which both surprises and pleases Lina. She asks if Ester isn’t evil (as is being said about her). Ester explains that she’s just a bit undone/frayed (deshilachada/o) at the moment, which happens sometimes when something bad or sad has happened in someone’s life. She offers to tell Lina a fairytale. We see the beginnings of a beautiful friendship.

Back to the real Locas, on the Island…Mari tells Doris to pull the trigger, “Do it!” Doris wonders if Mari doesn’t think she’s capable of doing it. Mari does, but she’s not scared of her.
D: Your life is at risk if you keep provoking me.
M: What do you mean by that? That if I don’t provoke you, you’re not capable of firing? Poor deluded girl (ilusa).  I’m going to marry your father when I damn well feel like it! And your boyfriend, even if I stop being his wife, I have him so much in my hands that if I asked him to, he wouldn’t marry you!

Mari lunges for Doris reaching for the gun, they struggle over it, Doris’s arm is wrapped around Mari’s neck, but Mari manages to bite Doris’s hand, making her drop the gun. Mari grabs the gun and points it at Doris.
D: You damn ferocious beast (fiera)!
M: Call me Savage! That’s what everyone calls me! Go ahead! Now, get the hell out of here!
Doris refuses to leave, so Mari calls security to have her dragged out.

Qué Bonito Amor #104 (Mex 142) Friday 9/6/13 While Maria Aims High, Santos Is Still Feeling Lower Than Low and Justo Has A Bull's Eye Painted On The Middle of His Chest



Cap 142

Nando nurses feverish Santos in the punishment cell; Irasema cries to her MIL, Mancia, about Susanito’s reasons for sending her back to her old apartment cuz he has a low sperm count and that’s why they had problems trying to have kids. (Ok. So, is she camping out with the Blue Haired Babes or what?)  Mirna now has set her sights on Son Of Concho.

PEAM #129-9/6/13: What Time Is It? Time For The Debut Of The Monterrey Tattler, Oh, And Film At Eleven!





Hola PEAM Peeps. I am running so late this whole weekend. I was going to craft a witty recap involving a gossip column. I will try my best. Oh, and this recap of course will not be in any order ; )

The Monterrey Tattler:

We are a new gossip rag here in Monterrey, Renato is one of our photogs when he isn't trying to get money in neferious ways from other people. Hey, he's gotta make a living, we don't pay much after all! Here are the happenings in Monterrey.

The Old Gossip:

Pato is a goalie, gets kerfuzzled, calls Elias to rescue her, he does, they kiss.

Moronica tells her lawyer Cyn she wants to get the goods on Royer and then bleed him dry. What else is new?

Cantu and Rogue have new mis planes to get rid of Discua.

Ferny is trying his best to not think about Discua, good luck with that.

Chucho finds Augusta in his office and immediately has a distressed stomach. Could it possibly be stress?

Corazon Indomable #84: The Plight of Esther & Doris Makes Little Steps Towards Crazyville


Rehashed
We start with MA adamantly denying her interest in Octavio. She tells him he is the father of her child so she should feel a little worried but nothing more is going on. El Governor gives her a skeptical “who are you kidding” look (as he should) and wonders if she is really sure of her feelings.

New
Octavio ponders that MA/MC does not care about him since she has not been to the hospital to visit him (aww boo-hoo…not!). He then flips the switch and gets angry saying he will speak to his lawyer so that he can see his daughter. Eduardo and Aracely interrupt his solo conversation with a visit. Ed tells him that leg of his must be bi-ionic (viewerville nods in agreement). Aracely informs Octavio that Ed was part of a rescue team to look for him. Oblivio asks him why (umm, he is your friend right?). Ed gets uncomfortable and tells him not to ask so many questions. Oblivio was hoping that MC organized the whole thing. Ed tells him that of course MC fretted over his disappearance but Oblivio believes what he wants to believe.

Doris and Co. are in what appears to be a club/discoteca (have they run out of money again because this looks like someone’s house with seizure lights flashing in the background).  Doris is thinking of staying for a while to see the boyfriend in the day and then take advantage of the D.F nightlife. She also wants to make sure he is divorced so she can have dibs and marry her pilito!

La Tempestad 30, Friday September 6, 2013 Trot Out the Tropes



A Patio of Lowered Expectations Discussion

“Dear Friends” – EJ taps on her glass to get the attention of the folks on the Patio, “We begin tonight’s recap with a quote from Sylvia’s Thursday night recap:
‘Ernesto’s pretend son loves Bea’s adopted daughter who doesn’t know she’s Merce’s real kid who loves the son of the man her real mom loved, who is hated by the man who secretly loves her mom, and a shark dines tonight’. (Wry appreciative laughter on Patio.)
“Sylvia’s hilarious summation of La Tempestad episode 28 compels me to ruminate a bit on the use of the trope in storytelling. The Oxford American Dictionary defines trope as:
“A significant or recurrent theme; a motif”. In common parlance the word is often used to describe an idea or theme that is too often recurrent, thus rendering many ‘tropes’ trite. Several years ago, recapper Julia came up with a definitive list of trite tropes that are used in telenovelas*. Julia identified dozens of such themes and created TN Bingo, which we played online for quite a while.
Tonight’s exercise will be to follow the happenings in La Nuestra Señora del Mar through the device of just a few telenovela tropes as applied to our La Tempestad characters, rather than reporting sequentially, as we frequently do.”

Telenovela Trope number 1: Confused Identities

In Ernesto’s Palace of Shame, a group of female slaves are paraded before His Evilness. He is particularly attracted to the stunning and silent woman. Macario tells Ernesto that she has not spoken since the storm and for this reason he has given her a special name, Hada, or ‘Fairy’. Of course we know Hada as Estercita, saved from the boat explosion, la tormenta, and the aftermath by the unkindness of strangers. They found her, saw she was pretty and decided she would fetch a good price on the slave market.  As Hada is introduced to Ernesto, he says, “Very well, Hada. You will have a good time with me.” And, although a loud chorus is heard from the Patio, encouraging Ester/Pester/Hada to run for her life, the little Fairy does not hear us as she allows Ernesto to kiss her hand.

La Tempestad, Cap. 29, Thursday, Sept 5: Esthercita joins the family business.


Valdivia removes DamFab's oxygen mask and presses a pillow over his preternaturally beautiful face (Dam's, not Valdivia's).  "Die, my captain!"  Lara watches the show through the window, wishing he had brought some Jujubes.

Marina's two mommies stroll down the hospital hallway thinking they are on the way to becoming besties.  They join Rebeca and hunky José in the waiting area and learn that Marina has stepped out for a moment with Hernán.  Since that means Eusebia is alone with DamFab, Mercedes decides to check on her and see if she needs anything.

Lara spots Merce heading towards the ICU and he quickly taps on the glass to alert Valdivia who is still pressing on the Dam pillow.  Lara runs away and Valdivia ducks under Dam's bed.  Out in the hallway, Merce comes upon Eusebia sprawled on the floor, unconscious.  There are no doves hovering. This could be serious.

Qué Bonito Amor #103 (Mex 141) Thursday 9/5/13 Que Preocupantes Desplomos


As he's being escorted back to his cell, another inmate playing Celia Cruz's "La Vida Es Un Carnaval" makes him recall better (?) times back at Ay Jalisco with Lalo and Pichi…pues, being Lalo and Pichi-esque.

With her fingers crossed behind her back, Elvira swears she had nothing to do with Maria losing her baby.

Mirna gets evicted.

Fernando gets slapped by Ana for kissing her…then he does it again and gets shoved…so he gives up and leaves before she can chuck a pillow at him.

Maria gives Elvira permission to come back to the bar until Concho recovers.  But she still doesn't trust that immoral skank.  She just wanted to see how far Elvira would go.

Santos got mail in prison from Maria, but he doesn't want to accept it.  He borrows the guard's pen to write something on the envelope and tells him to send it back.  He actually had a pencil in his pocket, which he now proposes to use to draw Maria's face.

CI Cap. 83, 9/5/13 The Suspense Is Unbearable. Will Octavio Survive?



Previously, more or less
          Octavio is stretched out in the plowed corn field—umm, let’s make that the desolate reaches of the uninhabited island where the plane crashed. He can’t feel his leg anymore and he’s sure this will be his grave. (You won’t need a grave, guapo, ‘cuz the animals are going to eat you.)

          In that alternate reality known as Isla Dorada, Karim, Ed, and MariAle are holding a strategy session. MA’s mission statement—to be the first to find our fallen pilot. She loves him and will pay any price to save him.  (What happened to Don Ale’s private plane?  MA could have used it, with Ed as pilot.) They’ll leave in the morning and hope for luck.

          Miguel and Lucia are entitled to chime in on a brother’s fate, so they do. Is the search a part of MA’s revenge on them or due to love for her estranged hubby?

New action, more or less
          Lucia calls the doc to confirm MiniMigi’s surgery arrangements. He should be there by 8 am for tests before the operation. (We could compare this to actual pre-surgery protocols, but we won’t take the time since we have a search and rescue operation underway.)

Qué Bonito Amor #102 (Mex 140) Wednesday 9/4/13 We were just looking at buildings for fun. That's what prisoners do.

Que Bonito Amor Cap 140, 9-4-13: We were just looking at buildings for fun. That's what prisoners do. 

Hola everyone! It appears I will be subbing again! This is a last minute thing, so keep your expectations low!

SCENES ARE CONDENSED AND NOT ALWAYS IN ORDER. PLEASE READ COMMENTS FOR OTHER RELEVANT DETAILS THAT I'LL PROBABLY MISS!

We have a refrito of yesterday, starting with the college teacher trying to convince Maria to get her degree pronto with sweetheart workshop/test deal (two weeks and she's got her diploma). Maria wants to blow it off to see JAntos; Wendy and her mom try to talk her out of it. JAntos and Michael meet up with a forgetful old prisoner geezer who is undoubtedly Fernando's dad, and JAntos and Michael are busted in the warden's office while looking for the prison blueprints online. (Don't even get me started on this.)

When confronted by the guards, Michael, who apparently is a Golden Boy among the guards and warden, is able to explain away their presence there by saying they're looking up buildings 'for fun'. (Note JAntos's extremely shifty expression here.) The guards are skeptical but let them go. 

Amalia is having pains in her shoulder due to her illness. Wendy wants Amalia to tell Maria; Amalia doesn't want to worry Maria at this time. She asks Wendy to keep it a secret.

He is all alone in the wilderness and now the animals will eat him! CI Wed Sept. 4th

Hi  patio peeps, I'm finally back, although the virus still seems to be giving me issues, at any rate I hope you enjoy the recap. Eli

 Tonight we are all going to learn what not do in the event of a plane crash.

 At the crash site Octavio and his passengers and crew all manage to make it out alive, he shouts to everyone to keep calm, everything will be okay. I don't know why he did this because everyone seems calm enough, actually they all seem way too calm for people that just survived a plane crash, but I'm not going to over think this. Anyhoo, Octavio goes off in search for help with an injured leg, no water, and no compass to show him the way. Folks, I think  one of the brain cells was injured during the crash and poor Octavio is down to one brain cell. Pray for him.

La Tempestad Cap #28 Wed, 9/4/13- Ernesto’s pretend son loves Bea’s adopted daughter who doesn’t know she’s Merce’s real kid who loves the son of the man her real mom loved, who is hated by the man who secretly loves her mom, and a shark dines tonight.

 


OK folks. I’m sitting here with my needle and thread in case I have to stitch together 5 episodes like our stalwart Mauricio did. I’m also feeling  very short of breath. Help! Jose! Pick me up and carry me somewhere! (Wasn’t he awesome last night when he hoisted Bea so effortlessly?) I’m also looking forward to Delfina pitching another fit, calling Fulgencio an asesino five times, and then flinging herself onto the fainting sofa. She did that scene like three times last night, didn’t she? I envy her energy.


Redux: Hunky Jose arrives with the news that the boat explosion was deliberate. It was planned. Oh goodie, we get a review of Delfina’s final and bestest tirade from last night. Blame! Freaky eyes! (Police guy sneaks out.) Asesino x 7! Later, Fulgencio punches Hernan, wheeeee! Mercedes, the future replacement mother, comforts Marina and says “her mother” will never abandon her. She would be creepy if we didn’t know she was good.



New stuff: Hernan asks Fully what would he gain by exploding Pestercita?  We are partners! Fully swears he’s going to get the guy who caused Pestercita’s death. Hernan, blood dripping from mouth, (Yes Cynderella, there be vampires) swears that if Fully lays a hand on him again he’s going to kill him. Fulgencio looks somewhat amused at this revelation.

PEAM #127-9/4/13: The Wedding We All Were Waiting For, Well, Not Really....Just Discua!


Recap by Pablo




May you dream with the little angels

Elías and Patricia talk about changes and sports. Every time she says something that she should be doing but she is not, Elías bring it up and she gets that she is failing that. 2 against 0 in the argument department. Elías is right, some women just talk because they have an opening in the middle of their  face they call a mouth.

In the other side of the city, Vero lifts the tortilla basket and Royer won't sleep with her tonight. Sex diet is the worse a man can try to do, specially when it is against his will. 

In Xóchitl's house we hear a -wink- and we see her hiding Discua from Fernando. Yes! You heard it right! Discua is now advertising the Discua-tronic, so if you can not have her, you can have her body, or at least try, because hers is not a body exercise can shape... wink! Did I hear false advertisement?

In the poor area of the city, Alma and Jesús are naked in bed. Looks like they already had ''a special night'', or maybe it was '' a special 5 minutes''? Juárever, while oozing honey from all the right places, we see Fireworks popping like poppies 
and saying something like love, commitment, trust, faithfulness, respect, western union, safe sex, and so on...

SIGH (yes, only 55 episodes left)

Xóchitl, to justify the reason she has disconnected the TV set so Fernando couldn't hear Discua's ad, has concocted a lie that later she will have to cover with another one and many more until they fall down like an avalanche. Finally she offers sex and that's the end of it, since no man in his right mind will never reject that, ever!! Looks like Alejandra is teaching her the right things.
After less than 5 minutes, when everything is over, she leaps from the bed and runs to ask Jesús if he can walk her down the Church's isle on her wedding day. Alma, who always wants to know more than she should, wants to buy her the wedding dress so they can talk on the way to the Boutique Esencia Española.

La Tempestad Capitulo 27. September 3 2013. DamFab Is MIA; PesterEster Is MIA; And Some Scenes Are MIA As Well

Greetings Everyone! Unfortunately, Uni decided to butcher Caps 28-30 into one whole episode. This is really frustrating since it made the whole episode so hard to follow. The least Uni could do was butcher it in a way that would make sense. I'm going to try my best and recap this poorly edited episode.

We begin with Hernan apologizing to Marina for having confessed his feelings in such a savage way. Marina apologies to him. She tells him that it was not her intention to hurt him or offend him. Hernan tells Marina that he is a different man. He has changed thanks to her. Haven't you noticed? he asks. Marina tells Hernan that she still sees him as being the same as before. Oh no she didn't! What do you mean? Do you mean that I am still that stupid boy who had no self-esteem? Marina says that what she meant is that he has become a successful man. Hernan tells Marina that he'll never been sucessful without her love. I don't feel like a complete man if I'm not with you. I am a different man thanks to you. I was able to get out of the dark where I lived because you taught me to not be afraid to feel or love. I am the man that I am because of you. Ok, if this had just been said by someone who hadn't just blown up his rival then maybe I would be touched by his sweet words to Marina. Marina rolls her eyes and tells Hernan that he gives her too much credit. You are a good friend, a generous man, and I didn't teach you that. Since we found each other you have offered your help, says Marina. Hernan says yeah and I'll finally be able to offer you all that help that will be a lot. He has had the contract written out that will pass on some shares of the packing plant to him. He hands Marina the contract and tells him that this is his proposal. He tells her that she just has to read it over and then sign it to close the deal. Marina begins to read. Hernan thoughtbubbles and admires Marina's beauty. He thoughtbubbles that now that DamFab is gone Marina will find protection in his not so DamManlyMusucular arms. Dream on, buddy!

PEAM, Tuesday 9/3/13 (#126): Day of the Bucket


Rewind: Rogue calls Pancho, Pancho Lopez to brag about Avon's victory over Orion in the Big Concurso (just in case Pancho hadn't heard... or watched it on TV). Rogue takes full credit. When Pancho asks about Alma, Rogue says sure, she helped a little - but that's what he hired her for.

Xochi has a meltdown over Discua's infomercial and feels that she must marry Fernando immediately. Jessica hasn't cancelled her wedding reservations yet, so Xochi can get married that day instead!

Rai gives Valentina a bottle of heat-activated ink.

Upset that his newfound daddy is sending him to school in LA for free, Melquiades picks a fight with Chucho outside. (The immediate vicinity is suspiciously vacant.) Chucho drops his crutches and jabs at Melkie's face. This easy love-tap knocks Melkie to the ground with a nosebleed. Melkie runs away but forgets his jacket. Chucho passes the jacket to him on the tip of a crutch.
