Corazon Indomable, Episode #90, Monday, 9/16/2013 – Boy, Oblivio Really Is No Good!!!
Recap by LatinaInMD
Boy, Oblivio Really Is No Good!!!
The Short: When I
was enjoying this show, I liked recapping every little detail. But now that I’m somewhat bored (sorry,
gringo), I came up with this short Haiku version of Oblivio’s “accomplishments”
in this episode:
Flee Shut Up Doris,
Lean on Simona for Dough,
Bye, Bye, Baby Girl!!!
Oh, ok, I guess a little detail is still in order, given this is
such a “pivotal” episode.
The Long:
I’m still giving you all more or less a bullet-point recap because that’s pretty much what we got from the editors with this seriously chopped-up episode. Was it just my impression, or were most scenes just seconds long?

Previously: Lucia
is on the phone with Ofelia, telling her they have sold the ranch and must pack
up their belongings. Octavio bemoans to
Ed the loss of his parents’ beloved ranch, as if he didn’t spend the better
part of his adult immature playboy life trying to get rid of it.

Qué Bonito Amor #109 (Mex 147) Friday 9/13/13 Face To Face Once More, But Cheek to Cheek?
Capítulo 147
While bustiered Wanda’s intriguing Coloso and Don Rigo with her eighth and
ninth wonders of the world, those two fall for the oldest bar scam in the books and get stuck with a 20 thousand peso bill for their two bottles of champagne. Colosso
ends up having to sing to cover the cost.

Porque el Amor Manda #134: Patricia la Recepcionista, Part II
In the "work" place:
Rogelio shambles out of the elevator and is greeted by the happy trill of the new receptionist -- our Patymelt, looking scrumptious in Avon pink. The security guards are thrilled with the view. He storms back to his office and calls Alma, who giggles through the entire conversation. Tough toenails, Rog; the paperwork's done and the contract's signed! He tells her he hates her. Que lastima! I like her a lot better when she gets her snark on.
Rogue calls Paty into his office and tries to boss her around, but of course she's been around long enough to know he ain't the boss. She gives a very nice speech: she can live without him, she's starting her life over, and she has important work to do -- so next time he buzzes her, he'll hear one word: WHATEVER.
Back at the front desk, Vero shows up in the diamond dog-collar and is surprised to see the Alpha Female herself. Vero taunts her for having a tacky little job, which seems oddly snobbish for someone who makes her living on her back. Paty replies that gosh yes, she is wildly jealous; she would MUCH rather live with a man who sends flowers and jewelry to other women. Uh-oh! GIRL FIGHT! The guards have a jolly time physically separating them.
Neurotica marches into Rogue's office, throws the necklace in his face, and demands that he fire Paty immediately. After she's gone, he talks to himself in his iPad mirror app. If he can get good enough at calling himself "Rrrrroger," he won't need her anymore.
In other news:
* Jess can't hit the sheets with Ollie because she has some terrible secret that will ruin everything if it comes out before the wedding. She can't possibly be a virgin -- although that would certainly be quite a secret -- so what is it?
* In a complete departure from telenovela law, Alejandra witnesses not only the attempt but also the failure of Discua's seduction, and still feels the need to march into Avon to discuss the "almost-kiss" with both Fernie and Xochi. QTH? Doesn't Fern get any brownie points at all???
* Vero confesses to Cinthia that hating Chucho is the only way she can be near him -- at least if they're fighting, they still have a relationship. Well, at least she's self-aware.
* Val tells Eli that Paty's a good egg and advises him to put on his big-boy pants and ask her to be his novia.
* The gremio is plotting some super-hot makeover for Xochi, but with all the running around talking to everyone but Fernando about Fernando she won't sit still long enough for them to do anything.
* Augusta begs Jesus to come back to work. She needs him! She can't manage on her own!
* Alma and Val have secrets, too. Maybe there IS more super-glue.

Porque el Amor Manda #134: Patricia la Recepcionista, Part I
On the other side of death's door:
Jesus has thought of a way to keep Alma next to him for everz and everz. He gets a coquettish smile. It's probably just something lame like asking her to marry him and not something cool and original like letting Valentina attach them to each other with super-glue, but anyway, he won't tell, even if she blandishes him with big besos. She tries anyway.
Delia arrives in mid-blandishment to announce that Marta is going to be spending the rest of her life in the manicomio. Ha. We'll see about THAT.She also gives Jesus a book that may or may not be about after-death experiences, and oh, by the way, tells him that he is free to return home as long as he stays away from Valentina. Wasn't that kind of the big news? Shouldn't that have been the opener, or was she trying to warm him up with reading matter?
Just then Valentina comes rocketing in like a Chucho-seeking missile, followed by balloons, Paty, Elias and Chatita, in that order. Delia allows that the defendant is not at fault if he's bedridden and someone launches a child at him. What a grown-up. No wonder she doesn't get many lines. Chucho gathers his motley family around and gives a pretty speech thanking his tocayo for all the lurrrrrrves. Group hug + manly fist bump.
Out in the middle of the street, frightening the horses:
Discua accosts Fernando in front of his apartment building. She never defrauded anyone! She's innocent! He looks skeptically at her fancy car. Hey, I worked (out) hard for that! She homes in on his lips several times, but he stands firm. Alejandra eavesdrops with pretty mouth agape.
At Big Bra Central:
Chatita is hanging up laundry when someone raps insistently at the door. Surprise! It's Discua's cleavage! Chatita tries to give her the bra -- after all, they're practically twins. (Discua and Chatita, that is. Get your minds out of the gutter.) Discua says that Chatita probably doesn't remember her, but she needs some advice. Chatita says she doesn't remember anybody; why should that slow down the therapy train? How about a drink? Discua replies that Beings of Light don't drink. Then she confesses that she's in love with a married man. Chatita gets the rompope.

room as the phone rings. Mariana answers and mouths to Doris, who's busy filing
her nails,
"It's him!"
Him is a desperate and confused Octavio who's furiously
seeking answers about recent events. but he's not gonna get them here... Doris
wants nothing to do with him.

| She's Describing It For Me As We Speak. |
He picks up the phone and calls Maricruz. He tells her that he is calling to congratulate her and say goodbye. Say what? She thought that he's about to marry the governor's daughter. Nopis. No wedding, and worse, he's been accused of horrible crimes. Maricruz looks confused.
Still busy with her nails, Doris explains to Mariana that
Octavio has decided not to marry her so she had him expelled from the island.
I wonder what they were talking about before he called if
she's just now telling Mariana about it.
"Then you don't
love him?"
"I may love him but my pride and dignity are much more
important than that..."
She will enjoy watching him suffer.

Weekend Discussion: Most Annoying Characters
Many
novelas have characters that just annoy us whether they were meant to
or not. This could be because of poor acting, the character's bad
timing, character stupidity, or just plain being out of place in the
story. This character can be any age and of either sex. These are characters we would never write into the story or wouldn't write the way they are appearing to us.
I'll start
by nominating Almira of Qué Bonito Amor. Her
inconsistent behavior in supporting and then slamming Maria's choices
would be gaslighting behavior in a villana, but she never quite comes
off as being intelligent enough to use this as a control tactic. That made all of us want to slap her flat.

La Tempestad, Cap. 34, Thursday, September 12: Madrina said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this, Madrina said.
In the magical cave
DamFab and Marina lie together on the carpet of rose petals. She kisses his bare, chiseled chest, looks adoringly into his Bambi eyes and says:
En tus brazos me he hecho mujer. Eres el primer hombre en mi vida.
(In your arms, I became a woman. You are the first man in my life.)
Quiero ser el último también.
(I want to be the last one as well.)
Hernán can hardly believe his luck in stumbling upon Esthercita, known in these parts as "Hada." He'll have to see what he can do to jolly her memory along on the sly.

Qué Bonito Amor #108 (Mex 146) Thursday 9/12/13 Que Largo Camino
Paloma isn't in the mood to go to PE. She gets Roddy reminiscing about his mom and he rightly points out that her mom at least has a chance to recover, while his mom is dead. Paloma responds to his "put your big girl pants" pep talk on. A classmate nags them to get to PE. Since the budget can no longer accommodate the actress who plays the teacher.
Susanito goes looking for Irasema, who's packing at her old apartment. He apologizes for being an idiot, but he doesn't realize yet he's apologizing for the wrong thing.
Amalia is a pessimist. I know, I know, what a shock. Justo tells her there's always a tomorrow. Good thought, Justo. Give her the hope of living for another day to complain about something different. Amalia says she misses Pedro. Just also misses Altagracia. He didn't expect for her to be gone from his life before the kids were. Justo says he and Amalia can share their solitude.
Santos caresses the wall and tells Don Nando and Michael that he'll get out, damnit!
Maria uses Colosso's cell to call Justo.
Who's busy asking Amalia why she never remarried. "You're still a hot babe. Trust me. I'm a guy. We know these things." Justo answers his phone and leaves the room without letting Amalia know who called.

C I, Cap. 88, 9/12/13 – Vengeance Is Mine! Says MariCruz. And Mine! Says Doris.
It’s a casserole episode here: some chunks of meaty action layered with lots
of rehash and other filler, just in case you forgot or never knew what happened
waaay back. Short scenes may be combined.
Warmed Over from
Yesterday
Simona, with her upgraded image, reminds Octavio she always loved him, wanted to marry him. He knows they’ve been BFF, but she’s all gorgeous now. (No explanation on how the mole was removed so quickly.) She knows he loves MariCruz and doesn’t love Doris, but she can offer a third option. She’ll settle for being his wife and living at his side.

Tav Starts the
Next Round of Angry Spouses
Raiza and MariAle see Tav enter the casino with a new lady on his arm. Simona is amazed at how sophisticated and elegant MA appears. (Simona’s in a lavender and lace gown, MA in dark blue with silver trim and long sleeves. It has near total coverage in the front and a completely bare back except for a few silver strips.) MA should remember her, but is doubtful until Tav says Simona’s full name.

Cautious courtesy follows between the two ladies, while Tav
and MA start some verbal sparring, based on her past and his taste in
women. She claims she’s still somewhat
bruta (coarse), but she’s going to marry the Gov and become a society lady. MA
tells Simona this is her best chance to marry Octavio. He praises Doris’ fine
qualities, and MA says that’s good, they’ll all get along living in the same
house. MA breaks off the useless arguing and sweeps Simona into the casino for
a tour.

PEAM #133- Easter, Thursday, September 12, 2013
The past:
In the ladies bathroom- Alma tells Virus to stay away from
Jesus.
At Avon, Xochy is whining about Rogue, Ferny, Discua and how
Rogue lied about Discua to keep them apart and the gossip league assures her that
Ferny loves her. Susana warns her
that if she keeps acting stupid she will lose Ferny.
Back to the ladies room, Virus tries to insult Paty but Paty
is not having it. Destroying a
child’s life, skank, Paty gives Virus back any insults that are thrown to her
including the one about being a mother and shoves Virus out of the bathroom by
using her for your foul revenge. Augusta
is singing Jesus’ praises to Alma including how good he looks, how smart he is
and that he did make the sales target but Alma lets Augusta know that Jesus is
hers and that he was healthy before he started working at Orion. The constant
pressures have stressed him out and advanced his ulcer.

Corazon Indomable, #87 Forget the Monkey, Where's the Mole?
I’m sitting at the patio of low expectations with the crowd to watch tonight’s episode. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. I will be giving bullet points as I am busy having a good time with all my Caray amigos.
We open with Mariana rushing to Doris’s bedroom after the maid tells her that Doris was screaming that she wanted to kill herself, and the patio shouting ‘Do it’.
Simona sits in the beauty salon with Jackie giving the hairdresser instructions to make her beautiful. Simona has her doubts.
Miguel is kinda sorta happy about selling the ranch, but on the other hand feels guilty that he’s letting his father down because his father loved it so much. Octavio, not so much.

*Apologies to Morris Day for paraphrasing and shuffling his “Jungle Love”
Last night we left our happy couple kissing passionately all over the beach, in the limpid sea, on a conveniently place blanket, and with that damned theme song crashing all around them. And yes, poor Dam DOES have sunburned shoulders.
Tonight our hero’s romantic inclinations become a bit more urgent, but Marina says she’s not quite ready for this yet. DamPatient laughs a little, says they’re not in a hurry and have all the time in the world. He asks if Marina is hungry. (Because he sure as heck is, so to speak.) Let’s eat!

PEAM #132- 9/11/13: He Has Risen! Oh Well....I Am Sure He Will!!!
Recap By Pablo
I wanna be an actor. In this episode Jesús spent the whole time laying down ''unconscious'' and still gets paid.
Due to the many problems that Verónica has brought into his life Jesús is now dead.
Read more »
Well, almost. His pulse is very weak, his chronic gastric ulcer has caused him an internal hemorrage and he has lost 90% of his blood. To make matters worse, his blood type is AB negative, a very rare, very, very rare type... Oh, telenovela Gods, please make someone in Monterrey have his same type, please!! Jesús still has 50 episodes left, a daughter to take care of and a huge pile of overdue work at Orión!
Not everything is milk and honey.. Now that Fernando has married Xóchitl, according to Murphy's law, Discua is back, and she wants him!! She is under the Universe's microscope and she thinks she deserves him!

La Tempestad Cap #32. September 10th 2013. The return of the WET WHITE PANTS! Alternative Title: Too Much Happiness Can't Be Good In A TN That Isn't About To End!
Boy, what an episode! Ok, let's skip the rehash and get to the new stuff....
Mayuya, the venomous snake, can't keep her venom inside any longer. She marches on over to where Familia Reverte, Jose, and Hernan are sitting at and yells at Marina that she's a hypocrite! Marina, our lovely heroine, isn't about to take crap from a venomous snake like Mayuya. She gets up and and yells at Mayuya "What did you just call me?". Mayuya lunges at Marina (and is very subtly held back by a smitten and dare I say it a very foolish Lolo) and calls Marina a hypocrite again. Padre whose sermon was interrupted walks on over to where the all commotion is happening and tells Mayuya to show more respect for God's house. "But this whore (fulana) showed no respect for Esthercita's feelings. Let everyone in town know that this woman is to blame for Esthercita's death. She killed her. She killed Esthercita" yells Mayuya. Reactions all around!

DamFab is a just a few blocks away from church. He stops to thoughtbubble what a blessing it is to be alive although what happened to Esthercita hurts him. He then continues on his way to church.

Qué Bonito Amor #106 (Mex 144) Tuesday 9/10/13 One Feared Dead in Daring Escape Attempt from L.A. Prison
Quote from I was the Black Hat by Chuck Klosterman.
“In all telenovela situations, the villain is the person who
thinks he knows the most but only cares about himself….and usually has an
appropriate punishment meted out as justice for the victims at the very end.”
Quote made up by Anita, applying telenovela law, as we close in toward the end of
QBA with some villains still on the loose.
Good evening, amigos, Anita here, reporting live from outside the
El-Lay Prision Estatal. This could be a United States Penitentiary, a maximum
security facility. There are three in
California—Atwater, Lompoc and Victorville.
But, it could also be a Federal Correctional Institution, for low or
medium security prisoners. There are six in California—Dublin (for women),
Herlong, Lompoc, Mendota, Terminal Island and Victorville (for women). Or, it could even be a facility for holding
pre-trial offenders. They are the Metropolitan Correctional Center in San Diego
and the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles. These are all operated by the Federal Bureau
of Prisons, a subsidiary of the U.S. Department of Justice.
Detention and Processing Centers run by ICE, a subdivision
of the Department of Homeland Security are vastly different. Currently, ICE detains immigrants in fifteen
detention centers nationwide (including privatized facilities), in state and
local jails, in juvenile detention centers, and in shelters. [Thank you
Wikipedia]
Your intrepid reporter for the El Lay Tiempos is here, early
Wednesday morning, on the grounds of the El Lay Prision Estatal waiting for a
spokesperson to emerge to give us details on this late-breaking news story of a
prison break by several extremely dangerous prisoners. We’ve heard rumors that
one is dead, maybe more, but at least one has been recaptured. Meanwhile we’ll fill you in with background
stories from the last couple of days of those involved.
If you want to go directly to the story of the break-out, it’s
on page A-15 (The Prison Break).
Although this takes place in El-Lay, it is a Dumb and
Dumber-free episode. We assume they are
on their honeymoon.

Or, "Where's a Bucket When You Need One?"
They always say to accentuate the positive. If I do that with tonight's recap, it will be very, very short and Morónica will be the only character in it.
Here goes: Vero has Chucho arrested for visiting his daughter on her birthday, and then she keeps the necklace that Paty sent back to Rogelio and wears it in front of him and then makes him wear it and drives him crazy wondering how she got it.
That's it! Good night!

Corazon Indomable, #86, 9/10/13 Miguel can read a newspaper, Simona visits the isla just in time for her makeover and Doris likes to fake it
Hello, Patio People, it’s been a while since my last recap, so I feel a little rusty. But, here goes...
Pretty in pink Maricruz is in her office, wondering about whether
Octavio knows that Doris tried to kill her or not. Oh well, here is a
nice little project for MC to take care of. She picks up the phone and dials
her adorable tormento, who is still
in the hospital.
Octavio is happy to hear her, but he hides his feelings quickly, using
his usual mask of mockery and condescension (this is a word, right?). They Señor/ Señora each other while MC tells
him that something muy grave
happened, and no, it definitely has nothing to do with their daughter (like
