Careful who you kiss!
Hi patio peeps,I'm going to give you a short recap because (A) not much happened in tonight's episode and (B) I'm feeling a little bit under the weather, so here we go!
Parts 1 & 2 are up
He kissed her, god help us all:
In the good old pueblo Octavio, his half a brain cell and Simona are chilling out, it turns out that our dear Octavio has been feeling a little depressed (waaah waaah look at how our hearts bleed for you, NOT!), Simona says that's understandable given all that he has been through, he agrees, even the sale of the ranch has given him the blues, but maybe some day he and Simona can afford to buy it back.
Simona jumps all over that and asks him if he would like to have the ranch back, she would buy it for him if he wanted her to. Eh, someone needs to tell her to calm the heck down, the only time you can buy love is when you go to the pound and buy a cat or a dog. Octavio, who just a few seconds ago suggested buying the ranch now tells her that no, he would not like that-we need to put him on some medication, his lack of short term memory worries me.

La Tempestad Cap #38 Wed, 9/18/13 - More crying and noble idiocy *
* - Vita (Thanks for your comment, it made a perfect title.)
Redux: Delfina is pretty nice when she’s not hanging around with the toxic Esteryuya. She knows Dam’s no murderer. He tells her Madre E said Estercita is alive. QUE QUE QUE??? Ursula blackmails Esteryuya. Candy lets Lolo escort her to the jail to see Dam.
Lo Nuevo: DamHelplessInJail hears the mob of townspeople whip themselves into a frenzy against Frankenstein’s monster. No wait. Wrong story, ...whip themselves into a frenzy against Marina Reverte! DamHelpless thought bubbles that Marina shouldn’t have to pay the price for loving him.
Mayuya and Ursula walk up to the crowd and gleefully observe their wrath. Fully drags Delfina away from the crowd and she tells him to “Suelteme!” She is bummed to see Mayuya looking like Mayuya instead of Esteryuya but she can’t stick around for self-analysis or chit-chat. She’s got something important to do. Alone. (Before we continue I must say I am amazed at these ladies’ very high heels. But I can tell you from my recent experience in Mexico that uneven pavements and cobblestones will not deter the fashionable ladies from wearing these impractical shoes.)
Ick Alert!! Macario escorts EsterHada into a classy mall or store to do some shopping. He keeps a tight grip on her. Ick I say!! He says treat Don E right and she’ll be treated like a queen.
Back at R-Lay-Dee the beyotch cheerleading squad is leading the student body in a pep rally. Ursula sees Marina rushing up with Jose and Maycucu tells her Marina is the one who caused Estercita’s death. Jose gathers those papers from Candy (testimonials?) and goes into the jail with Candy and Lolo. Lolo gets sidetracked by Mayuya and comments that she looks better dressed as herself. She calls him panzón (tubby or fatty). He gives her the nyaa nyaa and says he thinks she likes him. A little.

Qué Bonito Amor #112 (Mex 150) Wednesday 9/18/13 A Night of Filler Flashbacks
Dr. Kill-dare aka OJ aka El Padrino aka Giuliani – replay of
him being pithed off to learn Maria's in El Lay. He refuses to allow Santos to be happy with
his love – absolutely not, capice?
Replay of Maria singing at the fence as lightning bolts
streak across the sky and as we discussed yesterday, Santos inexplicably can
hear her and responds. The two lovebirds
sing in harmony despite the distance between them.......yeah, ok whatever.
“I love you!” “I love you more!”

PEAM #137-9/18/13: What Is Big, Ugly and Permanent? Besides Jessica's Hair Of Course!
Recap by Pablo
Jesús surprises Alma twice. First, because he apologizes for not sending more flowers, it is the middle of the week and he has not got his salary yet, and second because these three rose bouquets are ginourmous!! They come with instructions and everything like an Ikea bookcase!
Read more »
Roses are red, violets are blue, I am so in love and so are you, I guess!
The red roses mean passion, love and her beauty.
The pink ones mean admiration and thankfulness
The white ones mean that their pure and endless love will live on through the future for generations to come (In their will they have stated that their heads should be in jars next to each other)
The only thing missing was the insulin shot.
When the rest of the girls at Avon see that, their sighs can be heard from the moon!
Besides all that honey dripping love, Avon's personnel are being eaten alive with all the guessing for Jéssica's secret.

CI Capítulo 91: Taking The Easy Way Out....Again!
Capítulo 91
[Parte 1]
Lo del Pasado:
While Simona 2.0 tells
Esther she has a problem recognizing her new and improved self in the mirror,
Octavio and his guilt-ridden conscience don’t do much better with Ghost of
Eusebio, his identical twin brother (as in spittin’ image of) who’s also apparently
got it in for Los Narvaez. (And we thought Ewwwie and his raspy voice were
one of a kind! Who knew?)
Lo del Nuevo:
Twin Brother Of
Eusebio asks for a job cuz he’s hurtin’ for money. Tav says sorry, my ranch has been sold so I
can’t offer you anything. Maybe the new
owner will have something for you. (Uh, aren’t you the new ranch manager for
the one next door, Bozo? It's just like I thought! You don’t know
nothin’ ‘bout runnin’ no ranchos! Just like I thought: just gonna be Simone’s
toy-boy.) Tav wanders back
the way he came, telling TBOE that he heard wrong. No work here.
El TBOE gripes to himself that now he won’t have a chance to get back at
his bro’s murderer.

La Tempestad Capitulo 37. September 17th 2013. Oh she's badddddddd alright!! No doubt about that!!!!!
She's alive! She's alive!
Eusebia tells Marina, Rebeca, and Jose that Esthercita is alive. Reactions all around.
No puede ser!
Delfina prays. Esteryuya comes running in with the news that DamFab has been arrested. Esteryuya tells Delfina that Fulgencio accused DamFab of having put the explosives in the sailboat where Esthercita was killed. No puede ser! says Delfina. Esteryuya tells Delfina about the crowd that has gathered outside the police station. Delfina wants to go and speak with DamFab. Esteryuya doesn't think it is a good idea - there is an angry mob there, she says. Delfina doesn't care. She wants to go and speak with DamFab and she wants Esteryuya to come with her. She drags Esteryuya off to the police station.
Mexico City
At the hospital, Magdis is being taken into the emergency room. Mercedes attempts to go inside the emergency room too. Doc Gonzales (aka The Only Doc In Mexico City) doesn't let her and he ends up having to get security to hold Mercedes back. Mercedes is held back and she ends up falling on her knees and prays to God to not take Magdis from her.

Qué Bonito Amor #111 (Mex 149) Tuesday 9/17/13 Hot Prison Love is the Best Love
Que Bonito Amor, QBA, 9-17-13, Cap 149—Hot Prison Love is the Best Love
Hola everyone, I'm filling in tonight. RECAP IS DONE!!
(I always seem to recap the love scenes! LOL!)
BRIEF SUMMARY with screencaps.
We have a refrito with JAntos telling Maria to get lost, live her life, yadda yadda. She talks him out of that and says that no matter where they are, their love is "magic." They get busy with their conjugal visit, which I suspect has been edited by Univision (por supuesto).

| Gratuitous Jorge Salinas shot. I make no apologies. |

| They seem so desolate. He won't relent. She reminds him of the good times and has brought her dad's sombrero. She accuses him of being Santos instead of Jorge Alfredo. That seems to break him down. |

PEAM, Tuesday 9/17/13 (#136): REDFINGER
Xochi asks: who am I to get in the way of true love?
Wait, is this a riddle? Can I answer? Xochi, you're Fernando's wife and you're truly in love with him and your true love is just as good as Díscua's if not better. Plus, there was that wedding and everything.
At the manicomio, Marta and her long-lost identical twin Marcia throw creepy looks over one another's shoulders as they embrace. (When people get too much Botox, I can't read their facial expressions. When TWINS get too much Botox, it's twice as bad!)
Rogue is soaking his finger in a glass of water. (Suddenly I have to go to the bathroom.) He tells Cantú that he's breaking up with Verónica TODAY! Careful, dude... she does NOT take rejection well. Rogue is annoyed that Nick expects him to be at his beck and call. I'm sick of looking at Rogue's cold, wet, red finger.
Vero, the virulent moron, the 100-pound malignant tumor in Chucho's life, sets up the voice recorder on her phone and pays Nick Donovan a visit at his hotel. The room is filled with smoke, making Nick look even more cartoony than ever. She says she's here on Rogue's behalf. Nick gallantly puffs cigar smoke in her face. Vero tries not to look scared.
Alma brings Chucho home for a surprise party, because if there's anything a convalescing stomach patient needs, it's excitement and fancy food. His is greeted by his entire extended family.

La Tempestad, September 16, 2013. Capitulo 36.
Fully gets onto Nereo for mistreating the girls. The customers are complaining that the girls are being delivered bruised and unhappy. (Really? Perhaps their unhappy because they are being SOLD as slaves you idiot) Anyway, Fully says he better treat them well or else. Hernan makes his grand entrance and tells Nereo that he lives in a pigsty. Nereo tells him to pay him better and the conditions will improve. Who invited you to come over anyway? Hernan ignores him and asks Fully what he wants. Fully tells Hernan that Nereo is mistreating the girls and the customers are refusing the deliveries. All this is going on as Robles is listening in via hidden camera. Hernan tells Nereo that he is giving them to many problems. Whatever says Nereo. Like you could find someone else to take care of the girls. Hernan laughs his wicked laugh and informs Nereo that both he and Fully appreciate him, but the girls are like delicate fruit. Would you buy the bruised ones? Or the fresh ones? Nereo understands but still gripes. Hernan laughs again and tells Nereo not to make fun of them and calls him an idiot. We have someone who could easily take your place. Who asks Nereo. Lazaro replies Hernan. Nereo laughs and Fully is not a happy camper. Hernan says you can leave, but you will be burying yourself. (meaning he can only leave dead) Nereo looks worried and Fully tells him to stop arguing and obey orders. Nereo says fine, but who is my boss? Fully and Hernan both say they are. Knock on the door and it's Robles. He wants to know what the major of the town and the local millionaire have to do with a shady character like Nereo?
DamFine and Marina are taking a stroll in the woods. DamFine tells Marina that he had a talk with Maya-loca and told her to quit messing with her and her family. I told my boys that we are going to keep watch over you and your family for awhile. Marina is grateful and DamFine will do anything just to see her smile. She says his manly muscular arms make her feel safe and secure. He's happy that Bea decided to stay. She kisses him and says this is for taking such good care of my mom and the people of this town. What are you talking about asks DamCurious. She tells him a little birdy told her that he buys gifts and takes the kids in town around. He denies it, but she doesn't believe him. She is so proud of him and is going to shout it to the world. The run around the woods and fall to the ground. He tells her that he just does what his heart tells him to do.
Fully wants to know what Robles is doing there? Robles says that's the same question I want to ask you. I already said how strange it is for you all to be together. Hernan laughs and asks what's so strange about 3 men having a visit? Robles says you guys have nothing in common unless you are in the same business with Nereo. Nereo denies he has any business. Robles says he thinks that Nereo is involved in the trafficking of women. Hernan asks if he has any proof? Not yet, but I will soon replies Robles. Fully tells Robles that the investigation business is between him and Nereo. They are only here for... Suddenly Jaz comes out of her room. Nereo wants to know what she wants. Jaz wants to talk to Robles. Nereo tells her that Robles doesn't have time for her but Robles takes her aside and asks her to talk. Fully and Hernan look worried. Jaz looks like she's about to spill the beans and in runs Lazaro.

Hola PEAM Peeps. This was a kind of light episode and especially loved the little soft shoe, so hence the title, courtesy of HeatWave! I am also skipping the refried and starting with the new. I am subbing for Cheryl, who is visiting Venice and France, but she'll be back next week!
Chatita, and Alma are paying Chucho a bit of a visit at the hospital. Chucho wants Alma to go home and get some rest, she has hardly left his side since all this happened and Chatita is hurrying her along. So after many Ti Amo's and smoochies, Alma finally goes. Now Chucho and Chatita are alone and he tells her about wanting to propose to Alma and he wants it to be fantastic, any great ideas? Chatita doesn't get what he wants, ya know you get the ring, you propose and your done! No, no, he says something spectacular! They put their heads together. Chatita has some wild idea about a proposal she saw in a novela, leave it to Chatita! Chucho doesn't like the idea, it has something to do with water. Father Domingo wouldn't go for that! He warns Chatita to say nothing to Alma, this will be a big surprise. Hey Chucho, remember Chatita has trouble rememebering things, hmmmmm......Is it catching????

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?

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.
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?

| 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.
