La Tempestad, September 30, 2013. Capitulo 46.
Jose asks Rebecca if she's okay. She says she can only tell him, if they go back to the way things were. He finally agrees. She says that DamFab only broke up with Marina to protect her. Jose says he knew it! She wonders if she can tell Marina, but Jose says it's not her secret to tell. She must respect DamFab's decision. He is the only one that can tell Marina.
Hernan and Marina walk to work. (How the heck can she walk in those heels and on that sidewalk? Gorgeous, yes. Impractical, yes). She tells him that she was up all night thinking about him wanting to seek revenge against the murderer that killed his parents. She thinks he needs to seek justice instead. He agrees but tells himself revenge will be better instead.
Hada/Estercita is getting ready for her wedding. She tells herself that Hernan was right. They need to meet outside of the house so that no one can see them. Ernesto comes in to take her to the ceremony.
Madrina was worried about DamFab after “feeling” that he was hurt. He asks her not to tell anyone what happened to him.

Mentir Para Vivir! (Synopsis)
[This one takes the place of QBA in the 10 PM Eastern time slot and starts on 10/7. Anybody interested in recapping or subbing, let Melinama know.]
Oriana will be forced to take another identity in order to protect her daughter. She will have to confront many obstacles and schemes that will make her Lie In Order To Live!
Oriana Caligaris (Mayrin Villanueva—Eduardo Santamarina’s wife) and Jose Luis Falcon (Diego Olivera) are a Mexican married couple who, for some years now, live in Columbia and today have a six year old daughter named Alina (Ana Paula Martinez).
Jose Luis works in the Columbian Customs Office. One day he confesses to Oriana that he did some contraband transactions and he deposited the earnings from those in an account under her name without her consent. Therefore, she is involved/implicated and the police are now looking for the two of them. Disillusioned and disappointed, Oriana flees to Mexico with her daughter, Alina, in order to look for a very dear friend, Raquel (Altair Jarabo) who, together with Lucina (Cecilia Gabriela), is owner of Hotel El Descanso in San Carlos, in the state of Sonora.
Among the guests at the hotel is Don Gabriel Sanchez (Alejandro Tommasi), an old friend of Lucina’s, business partner of an important textile manufacturer located in Hermosillo, Senora. After being a widower, he is now remarried. His wife (Lourdes Munguia) is an ambitious woman twenty years his junior, and whose brother, Berto (Ferdinando Valencia) is a gigolo/opportunistic playboy. Gabriel is father of Ricardo (David Zepeda), a successful engineer and of a rebellious adolescent, Sebastian (Alejandro Speitzer).
One day while Don Gabriel is with Alina, a gunshot is heard and he falls down dead. Oriana runs in and finds her daughter with a pistol in her hand. Alarmed, she fears that Alina shot the gun. At this point, Lucina takes control of the situation, deciding to send the two to Guaymas, Sonora to protect them.
When Ricardo arrives at San Carlos to pick up his dead father’s body and to start an investigation, he’s informed that the principal suspect of the crime is a young woman who’s traveling together with her little daughter.
At that same time, Ines Valdivia (Laisha Wilkins), a strange reclusive young woman, takes up lodging at the hotel and dies unexpectedly. Always the clever one, Lucina takes advantage of the situation to ensure Oriana assumes Ines’s identity, using false documents, thus placing her safely away from the contraband investigation as well as that of Don Gabriel’s murder. Oriana has her misgivings, but she has no other option than to (duhn-duhn-duhn-duhhhhhhh!!!!) Lie In Order To Live!!!!!

Corazón Indomable cap 99 9/27/13 I'm Natasha, But You May Call Me Señorita Nasty
We join Maricruz and Octavio in Lupita's nursery as he kneels and gazes adoringly upon his precious little daughter as she quietly sleeps... protected by two angels that are perched unseen and silent at either end of her crib. Invisible butterflies flutter about her pretty head. For a moment Maricruz is stirred by this tender tableau presented by the two most important people in her young life and moves in, reaches out and touches his shoulder. He rises and quietly turns to face her. Their eyes lock and they embrace and indulge in a sensual sensuous kiss briefly savoring each others lips...
Suddenly the needle scritches across the vinyl grooves and we are shaken back into our present reality. Maricruz pulls away,
"You came to see your daughter?"
"Yes."
"Well pay attention... there she is."
They exchange a couple of gentle insults but I don't think either of them has the heart for a battle at this moment.
As we exit the room we get a closeup of the kid. She smiles sweetly as if to reassure us that after 60 or so more episodes of this nonsense, things are gonna be alright between her mommy and daddy... or maybe one of those butterflies tickled her nose...
Next!

Well, It's clear that Matlock and Mason they ain't. Lawless and disorderly is more likely, but never having been in a courtroom myself, let alone having witnessed a federal criminal trial proceeding--such as this telenovela version claims to be--what do I know?

Weekend Discussion: Classic Movie Remakes by Televisa, Third Edition
Since we have a
remake novela ending next week, it's time once again for the Televisa
Remake Game.
- 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!
Last weekend I
was watching one of the best movie mysteries ever made which had it
all: Great sets, period costumes, dialogue, music, and an all-star
cast. I amused myself by imagining the following Televisa cast for
Murder on the Orient Express:

La Tempestad 44 – Thursday, 26 September 2013 – The Education of Damian Fabre or the Count of Mexi-Cristo
Gaol, The Classroom
Damian Fabre, who is reminding me a lot of Edmond Dantes,
has just finished his first reading assignment. Claudio is pacing the cell like
a good professor and Damian sits on the lower bunk in his cell, like a good
student. Damian tells Claudio that the book, Romeo and Juliet,
transported him back to those old times and that some things have not changed.
Couples still continue separating because of hatred and misunderstanding.
Claudio, who might be an Abbe Feria lookalike to Damian’s Edmond, hobbles over
to the bunk and sits down. Apparently he has a bad leg. He asks Damian, “Is
this your situation, Sailor?”
Damian says that the comparison between himself and Romeo is
not exact but has similarities. He thanks Claudio for having him read the book.
Claudio asks Damian if the book cause him to sail away and then, when Damian
smiles in assent Claudio waxes poetic about this being the first of many books
Damian can read. “Good wind and better seas,” Claudio pronounces the blessing
with a chuckle. He now offers to begin the Education of Damian and he will pick
the books. Claudio notes that he and Damian share a profound depression or melancholy,
and the way to treat the depression is to come to know oneself. Damian will
learn much from his studies.
The Kiss – Rebeca and
Jose
The hot kiss between Rebeca and Jose is shown again.
Whooeee. Jose parrots Rebeca’s words back to her, “A kiss is just a kiss.” They
part but Rebeca looks all shook up.
Marina is Sad
Marina is crying on the steps of the house. She wishes she
had gone after Damian and at least talked to him. Beatriz, whom I find very
hard to like, tells her that love never really goes away. She knows that after
all these years she still loves Marina’s father. But Marina has to accept that
Damian has hurt her in a very cruel way. Bea opines that Damian’s love was not
as grand as he claimed. Marina cannot understand; one minute Damian loved her
and the next he didn’t. She needs to understand and to have some peace. Only
Damian can take the thorn from her heart by telling her the truth.

Qué Bonito Amor #118 (Mex 156) Thursday 9/26/13 Que Inútil Día de Investigaciones
Paloma lets herself get talked into a frappé. I can understand that. I'm a fan of the frozen beverage. Frappuccino. Smoothie. Margarita.
Milamores is called on to testify to Santos' good character. The prosecutor calls him on the lack of proof, which is apparently only required of the defense and not the prosecution. Milamores brings up the incarceration of his father for over 30 years without trial as proof of the US's crappy justice system. Of course, the prosecutor objects to this. Milamores calls for the immediate release of his father and Santos, both. The judge tells everyone to STFU, go home, cool off, and be prepared to behave like adults when they start the trial back up again or he'll kick everyone out.
OG is hanging out in Maria's new place. Gross! Don't touch the traje! You'll stain it with your grossness! He takes video of himself sniffing the traje as he taunts Santos that he's in Maria's room and if Santos doesn't declare himself guilty, OG will rape Maria. Not in so many words, but we all know that's what he means. He reminds Santos that he's being watched, so he'd better not do anything stupid.
Mirna is shocked to find out Ruben is planning to close down the bar as his revenge. He wants the mariachis out on the street. Not Mirna, though, he'll find a job for her. Mirna asks for compensation, from losing her job at the bar, I presume. Elvira walks in on them getting a little frisky and demands to know QTH is going on.

CI Capítulo 98 9-26-13 There’s a New Real Estate Development in the Works: Rancho Realengo
Recapper La Paloma weeps softly. She already
attended a morning meeting with 300 retired government workers and made a quick
afternoon trip out of town for business. Returning home, she had hopes of recapping
a thrilling episode. Alas, an endless series of dull conversations fill the
screen in a mind-numbing rotation of all talk, no action. Only a little hot canoodling
at the end and the introduction of a new character repay the time spent by Viewerville
this evening.
What We Saw
Before
One great moment was MariCruz saying “I think I’m going crazy!” We heard a ripple of reaction from Viewerville here, but no united agreement. She wants to see Simona’s face reacting to the land giveaway.
We also see Simona telling Octavio the news of the upcoming baby. Things will be different with this baby, compared to the baby that She Who Must Not Be Named won’t allow him to see.
JA tells Ester that they’ll all go to live at MC’s ranch. Hasn’t she heard the news of the relocation of the Realengo folk? Maybe not, since she doesn’t hang out with the neighbors so much.

A Long String of
Conversations in Short Summaries
- · Mig and Tav—Tav couldn’t say no to group expectations and MC pressure when she announced he’d match her donation of 5 hectares of land. Mig is angry MC is trashing their old ranch and he tells Tav not to let Simona find out. The bros will never forgive MC for her cavalier attitude toward their family land.
- · Ester wonders what will happen when Simona finds out about all this.
- · JA warns MC she’ll find out how bad the Realengo scum are. (His attitude is incomprehensible, but that fits with this TN.) She doesn’t know why she got carried away and thinks she needs to talk to Padre Julian.
- · Simona tells Miguel that Ofelia will testify in his behalf concerning Eusebio’s killing.
- · Navario (twinsebio) is telling Lina’s drunk daddy that his letter to the rich lady didn’t work, so maybe he’ll contact Miguel Narvaez directly. He has a bottle in his hand.

Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here!!
The past-
Jesus snatches up DeMonica (Vero) and asks her where is
Alma??? DeMonica denies knowing anything.
Officer Delia calls Jesus and tells him that Alma s on her way to the
hospital and she is alive.
DeMonica starts arguing with Rogue for giving Jesus the idea
that she had something to do with Alma’s disappearance. Rogue says that her plan is stupid but
DeMonica lets him know that if she sinks he goes down with her.

Corazon Indomable # 98 The Magic Dimples Work Like Magic
Miguel tells Octavio he wants to turn himself in now because he only has a son to live for, and I guess that’s not enough. Miguelito sure got in the wrong line when they were handing out parents. Octavio tries to convince him to let him help. Miguel agrees that the reason he’s in trouble to begin with is because Octavio brought that woman to their home. What Octavio should have said was; just because I brought her to our home, it didn’t give you the right to mistreat her like you did. She was my wife and your wife was terrible with her, and you continually backed Lucia up when I defended her. No one deserved to be treated that way, and you both deserve what’s coming to you now. But instead, Octavio really said; you’re right, it is my fault so that’s why I want to help you now.

La Tempestad, September 25, 2012. Capitulo 43.
Guess my DVR didn't record
right, so I think I missed the first
minute or so...
Mercedes and friends are
driving down the streets looking for Magdalena.
Marina tells Hernan that she
doesn't understand what he's trying to say.
Hernan will clarify for her. He
knows she was deeply affected with everything that happened with DamFab. He admires her courage and regrets getting in
the way of her and DamFab's love, but the love that he feels for her is too
strong (umm, it's more like an obsession really).
DamFab is led to his cell
where he encounters his new cellmate, Claudio (Rene Casados). Claudio puts on his tough guy face and says
so your by new roommate? Well, let me
tell you there are rules here. DamFab
says there is no need for that. I am not
looking for trouble. Just tell me where
my bed is. Claudio says the top is
mine. Suddenly some troublemakers come
in and Claudio reminds them that he is not going to give them anything. He doesn't need any protection. The leader (who I will call UglyTatFace until
I find out his name) reminds him that everyone needs protection. DamFab tells UglyTatFace that he doesn't want
any trouble.

PEAM #142-9/25/13: Another Wedding Ruined By A Pearl Necklace (and a Little Help From Veronica) Wink!!!
Recap By Pablo
My wink-o-meter was spinning like crazy!! Like me, covering all the weddings!!
I got good news and bad news!
Discua got out of jail. And well... one could think that being in the path of light and under the microscope of the Universe, subject of its protection, nothing harmful would come our way, right? Wrong! That is not true. See? Discua has cancer, and no reiki or spheric meditations visualizing the tantric triangle had helped her in any way...maybe she is going through a faithless phase. The solution? Go and die, I mean, meditate at the top of a mountain in Tibet with the Buddhists. Maybe her xylophonic winking won't bother them. Or maybe they will think there is a singing bowl!! In her butt!
It's a mad, mad world
Ricardo is now her brother of light, and Remigio one of the security guards. Where did he learn how to run after suspects? Well... Melchor couldn't run to save his life either! He could roll, though. This proves that ANYBODY, anybody can work at Avon, experience not required.
The key word is reciprocation
How can I describe América and 3bal Monterrey at Valentina's party with one word? Annoying!
How can I describe Alma's huuuge cleavage with one word? Impossible, I need two! And big ones! Mmm, like a double breast chicken! That Queen's outfit was from another queen a little smaller!
And just to make sure this party was doomed like the first one, thanks to her, even when she blames Jesús, Verónica came to see Valentina and to make everyone uncomfortable . I wish Jesús could have called the police on her but he said he didn't want to ruin Vale's party and he did from tripe heart (Hizo de tripas corazón)
