Weekend Discussion: Feliz dia de las Brujas!
I realize that Halloween doesn't quite mean the same thing in Mexico, but what if Televisa and Telemundo would make some horror movies based on the favorites TCM and other movie channels show this time of year? Whom would you like to see as Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the werewolf, the Mummy? I'm sure many of the guys out there would love to see Ninel Conde and other Jessica Rabbit-types as Dracula's wives in those sheer shrouds right out of Hammer's costume vault.
Who else is partying for Halloween? I'm at parties tomorrow and Saturday and invited for a third one next Wednesday.

La Tempestad – Capitulo 64 – Thursday, October 24, 2013 - How Many La Tempestad Sailors Will Fit Into A Vintage Volkswagen Beetle?
“I am Elna June Sonoma and this is Morning Report.
Buenos Dias. Today we begin with an abbreviated report on the telenovela La
Tempestad.
By The Sea, Veracruz
(Screen image: Damian and Marina in the sand dunes by the
sea).
Reporter:
“This morning in Veracruz our cameras caught Marina Reverte
and Damian Fabre in a rare happy moment. Ms Reverte was heard promising El Capitan Fabre
that she will never allow him to be separated from his son (Baby Michel).
Damian expressed gratitude that Marina loves his son, but as they were talking,
their brief idyll was interrupted by a telephone call from Becky. Reverte’s
mother, Doña Beatriz Reverte had been taken to the hospital.
Veracruz State:
(Screen Image. Beatriz, Becky and Marina, smiling. All have
excellent hair.)
Reporter:
“In Nuestra Señora del Mar, Sra. Beatriz Reverte has suffered
another health crisis. The waiting room at General Hospital was filled with
tension as Becky, Jose and Marina waited for news of Beatriz’ health. While at
first it appeared that Bea might not make it through the night, the doctor
delivered news that Bea was still living but she could not walk or talk. Much
later the doctor returned with the news that Beatriz was stable but was still
unable to walk or talk. She was allowed visitors and Marina was heard assuring
her Mother of her undying fidelity and love. Our in-room microphone overheard
Marina talking to her Mother. She will always take care of her Mom as Bea took
care of her when she was a child. Bea is glad of her daughter’s continued love
and devotion.

Mentir Para Vivir #14 Thu 10/24/13 Seguir Mintiendo para que la Abuela Vive
Ricardo insists that they need to get back to Hermosillo ASAP and refuses to discuss it. He threatens Inés with calling the cops and says if anything happens to his godmother, it's on her.
Crap. Paloma wakes up in the middle of the night and sees the envelope Inés pushed under her door. In the letter, Inés says she doesn't deserve the place Paloma has given her in the family and she's leaving with her daughter. She says she can't keep pretending to be someone she's not.
Ricardo thinks they're racing against the clock to get to that letter before Paloma sees it in the morning.
Paloma knocks the phone off the hook, but manages to push the call button for the maid, who comes in and sees her on the floor, but doesn't seem to have a clue what to do about it…so she goes to get Matilde. That seems like a bad idea. Matilde gets a move on, once she's awake enough.
Inés makes faces at Ricardo and Padre Plaid from the back seat of the car.
Matilde also has no clue what to do, but Ruben gets the phone and Matilde tells him to call for an ambulance. Aw, crap. Matilde sees the letter and sends the maid off to have Jorge open the gate. She stashes the letter before Ruben comes back.

PEAM# 163- 10/24/13- Alma Learns That A Hyena is Not A Laughing Animal
From yesterday-
We begin with Jesus and Astudillo discussing the fact that
Jesus completely believes Alma is innocent. Astudillo begs to differ because Alma’s bracelet was found
at the scene of the crime along with the security tape showing Alma’s SUV at
the warehouse along with the gun in the vehicle. Jesus says that Alma is too smart for that and that Killeronica
has implicated Alma somehow. If
Astudillo believes Jesus, then he has to explain how did the murdered woman
write Alma’s name in blood. Jesus
has an answer for that too. It could have been written by someone else. Astudillo doesn’t believe that
Killeronica can be so macabre. Killeronica
hates Alma and Jesus and wants to separate them. She is capable of
anything. They have to do something. Talk to that witch and get the truth
out of her.
Astudillo wants to discuss it from a legal perspective with
Killeronica. Good luck.

CI, # 118, Thur., Oct. 24, 2013. Octavio Is Easily Moved, while Padre Julian Stands His Ground
Previously,
more or less
Padre Julian visits Tav and Simona. She wants to talk baptism for the baby, while Padre and Tav are concerned for the po’ folks and their needs. When a riled Tav exits the room, Simona tells the Padre she has to keep Tav on a tight leash. (So—her casa is his casa, but only to a limited extent?)

MC and Santa

Neighborhood
Chit Chat, Slander and Stuff
Santa gives MC marriage advice—don’t
do it unless you have love. You must have love for marriage to work. MC agrees
that marital duties are only pleasant if love is involved. (So how does Tav stack up here? He’s MC’ only
experience.) Later, MC plays with Lupita on the bed, blowing lips and making
funny noises (maybe their best interaction so far). Her mind is elsewhere,
pondering a possible marriage.
Migreedy and Simona gossip in the
parlor, with Mig gleefully saying MC has a boyfriend and her time here is
almost up. Simona’s equally gleeful at hearing the news. Later, Simona asks Migreedy
to tell her the truth about her illness. He still insists it’s nerves, all
nerves, and nothing but nerves.
Clorinda visits Ester, who’s holding
her baby, and learns that JA and Ester are moving to Rancho Simona. Clo says
that won’t last long, since everyone knows Simona is dying. Ester is muy
impactada. Adding details, Clo says it’s
a brain tumor and Simona is getting what she deserves. She was stingy, indifferent and refused to
give alms. (The medical facts on this are skimpy.)

Things I learned this week...when stuck in a loveless marriage, drink! CI Wed October 24.2013
Dear Caray mates, I have to apologize for this recap, as some of you know I've had issues with my internet connection at home. I have called my provider more than once and they were to send a tech weeks ago to fix the issue, but he never showed up. Yesterday evening my internet connection went "boom", I called Time Warner and they sent out a tech, who turned out to be the jerk of the week, he came in, looked at the equipment and declared "yeah, this is not my problem or something I can fix", he was so rude that we asked him to leave, which left me with no internet connection at all, so the best I can do for you today is bullet points, and hopefully I can finish before I have to see clients. My apologies!

La Tempestad Capitulo 63, Wed 10/23/13 - To Bea or Not to Bea
The Uni snippers really did a number tonight. They left in way too much of Bea and Marina and kind of mixed up some of the other scenes. I hope this recap makes sense. Scenes left on the cutting room floor will be in BLUE.
¡Vamos!
Marina (who has been told Bea is sick in bed) sits with Bea who says she has something difficult to tell Marina. A secret she has held for many years. Something very important she has never told Marina but today she wants to tell her so she doesn’t take this secret to her tomb. Bea tells her daughter that she has always loved her and Marina has been everything to her. “Marina, you must know the truth about your provenance from my own mouth. I am your mother but not the woman who brought you into this world. You were put into my arms shortly after birth, but your real mother is another woman.” Marina says, now wait for it, “No puede ser!”

Mentir Para Vivir #13 Wed 10/23/13 Tito Goes on an Adventure!!!
Casa de Paloma
Lila and Oriana share a little Mommy and Me time before
bedtime. Lina's had a dream about Papa –
she misses him. Oriana reminds her
Papa's no longer with us and says her dream may be Papa trying to tell her to
be a good little girl. During her prayers, Lina gives thanks for all they have
and asks God to tell her Papito he was the best Papi in the whole world and
they both miss him very much. Before
leaving her, Oriana takes Jose Luis' picture and places it between the pages of
a coloring book with the blue dolphin on the cover. (file that away, everyone, I'm sure it will
come up again)
Bar Bolo
Piero and Antonio discuss the subject of Sebastian over some
drinks. Piero is convinced Sebas is not
Ricky's son. He feels bad every time
Ricky speaks of Maria. Besides, Ricky
was so drunk there was no way he could have done the Dirty Deed. Scum Bag Antonio thinks otherwise. Maria was certainly no virgin and she seemed
to have plenty of “flight hours” (horas
de vuelo) – scum. How do they know
she hadn't slept with someone else the day before? He's sick and tired with Piero constantly
bringing it up (sacar a colación). Piero repeats he's bothered that Ricky's been
stuck with this problem. He brings up
the possibility of an ADN test! Antonio
wants to pass on that but Piero insists.
This would put their minds at ease.
Antonio wants nothing to do with that and wonder why, all of a sudden,
is Piero so bothered by this. Piero
explains it's because the sh!t has hit the ol' fan and he”s never seen Ricky so
bad off. “Well he'll just have to get
over it,” says Antonio. “It's a bit late
in the game for you to be all hot and bothered over it and try to put all the
pieces in place. If, as you say, it was
so difficult for the boy to find out about his true father, imagine how much
harder still it would be if you arrive with yet another story. What do you want? You want him to go crazy? cut open his veins? Shoot himself? What?
You need to chill and leave the past in the past. Drink your beer and relax.”

PEAM #162-10/23/13: My Name Is Alma Montemayor Mejia and I Am a Murderer!
Recap by Pablo
Alma is sent to jail
Read more »
Turns out Marta's cold body was found in a warehouse. Everything incriminates Alma, so the police go to her house and take her using excess force and brutality, she, who has no breast milk because Verónica scared the milk away and left only chicharrón seco, is so surprised that she offers no resistance. Chatita ,who cries and pulls to avoid it, to no avail. Oh, what am I going to say to Valentina now? Oh, I remember, the queen went away to another kingdom and now the hero must go and fight the dragon to save her! She'll believe that!!
Note to Juan Osorio: Please let Carmen Salinas retire before it is too late and we end up hating her more than we already do. She could be doing production or anything behind the cameras.
Alma is suspect #1
Police takes fingerprints from the body and from the crime scene. It takes like a whole day for them to compare and discover whose body this is. Jesús, who is smarter than any generic policeman, went first thing in the morning to the House of laughter and unveiled the whole truth even for the doctor, who was, alongside with cheated men, the last to know. When the police finally find out the dead one is not Marcia but her twin sister Marta, go to the clinic to notify the real Marcia, who finally gets someone to believe what she has been saying since episode 103. I am not me! I am my twin sister! No wonder they thought she was the crazy one!!

Corazon Indomable, #116, 10/22/13 Solita’s sorrows
Beware, gang, this will be the shortest recap in history, but there is not much to say about this episode except:
Solita decided to
starve to death because Perico Perro dumped her.
Mari waited for Alvaro
to bail her out of her stupidity.
Tav got the brainy
idea to give Mari back the money she paid for the Narvaez Ranch.
Simona agreed to have
Esther and JA move at her ranch.
New characters showed
up.
That’s it, that’s all
that happened. Now you can all go about your day, drink your morning coffee,
concentrate on work, enjoy your lunch break...
No? You say you want
more? There really isn’t much more to add, but if you insist….
(All the scenes are
severely reorganized, so you can make some sense out of what actually happened).

PEAM, Tuesday 10/22/13 (#161): Life's a Joke. Death's the Punchline.
Vero goes to Alma's place, supposedly to pick up Valentina for an impromptu and unauthorized visitation, but actually to provoke a fight with Alma. First, however, she has an altercation with Marta, who proudly admits to being La Loca and warns Vero not to mess with her. Chatita hears the scuffle outside the door, but by the time she gets there, Marta is gone. Vero is still gasping, but claims to be merely out of breath after talking on the phone. Vero asks Chatita what she thinks of Marcia. Chatita says she gets a bad vibe from her.
Once she's in the apartment, Vero overhears something about Vale's "novio" and chooses this as the topic of her fight with Alma. She claims to be there for visitation, but of course Alma doesn't let her take Vale. Vero hurls every insult she can think of at Alma, who stands her ground and doesn't lose her temper. They do threaten one another, however. (Actually, the real highlight of this scene is when Vero admits that she made a mistake. She's wrong about what the mistake was - she thinks she never should have let Chucho meet Valentina - but at least she admits to being fallible. Too bad Eli couldn't hear her say that. And Marta too, for that matter. They both told Vero that she should admit when she's wrong.)
Anyway, Vero tells Valentina "OK, I'm leaving now." Some visit. Valentina says, "I love you, Mommy." Vero replies, "Me too." I'm so touched, I dab at my eyes with a lace hanky.

Rats, you mean I have to take my dying wife home?!
Hello my favorite peeps, I'm doing tonight's recap because the lovely and talented Vivi is out of town so this week you get two recaps from me, yay?
The old stuff: We get a repeat of MC saying that all she needs to be happy is Octavio, she could live in poverty with Lupita an one cell 'Tavio and be in heaven (oh gag me with a spoon!), she will always belong to Octavio, ALWAYS-remember this for later folks.
On to the new stuff, at Simona's ranch Octavio and GreedyMig- this is my new name for sleazy, wormy, scum of the earth Miguel Narvaez, GreedyMig and Octavio discuss Simonas ill health and Octavio informs GreedyMig that he is leaving the cash cow, eh I meant to say his wife in order to go back to Maricruz, GreedyMig does not agree with this, think of themoney Simona!
Greedy then tells Octavio that he is lucky, hell when his wife dies he will be rich, rich I tell ya! I used to think that GM (greedy Miguel) was with Lucia because he had no spine but the more I see him in action the more I come t realize that he was with her because they both lacked morals and did not care if others suffered as long as they got what they wanted. I hope this dude gets a giant anvil!

Mentir Para Vivir #11 Mon 10/21/13 Is she a prostitute? Is she a killer? Either way, Ricardo wants some of that…
At church, Orines is talking with Padre Plaid - he’s saying that Ricardo suspects her true identity, but still, he has feelings for her. Oh my Gosh, Orines feels the same way, but she can’t tell Ricardo the truth about her, he thinks she killed his dad. Also, she doesn’t know if her husband is still alive or how she could prove her innocence in Colombia.
Ricardo comes to visit
Mariano, too, but he meets Jorge outside the church and when he hears Ines is
with Padrecito, he pouts and leaves… Ines stole his best friend/ confessor.
Arriving back at the
house, Orines meets Raquel, who gloats about the 3 million pesos she managed to
squeeze out of Paloma. Orines is upset that Raquel went so far, they go back
and forth about who has more to lose if the big secret comes out. And,
obviously, Raquel warns Orines to stay away from Ricardo.
At the textile plant,
Ricardo and Piero talk about the remote possibility of a little girl firing a
.44 caliber. Piero has many thoughts on the matter, all very accurate.
(Short brake just to say that I find it surprising how this telenovela has never used misunderstandings or people jumping to the wrong conclusions just as a way to forward the plot - it almost seems to good to be true... I hope I don't jinx it.)
Anyway, back to Peiro, he says:
- he thinks a woman could shoot a .44 caliber, but she’d need to have some
experience with handling guns, especially since the shot was in the heart; also,
she’d have to be very coldhearted to shoot a man in front of her small daughter.
- he doesn’t think Oriana had anything to do with her husband’s wrong
dealings.
- isn’t Ricardo
obsessing too much about this whole story?
- the shot could have been coming from
another part, maybe Oriana just got scared and ran with her daughter.
- the
inspector said the little girl found the gun on the beach, maybe the owners of
the villa hid it.
- was there anyone else interested in killing Gabriel
– like maybe Lila and her brother?
And Piero rests his case.
No way can Sebastonto be the son of this smart man, not while he wears those yellow pants that surely come from the same factory where Hernan from La Tempestad gets his trousers. But more on this later.

La Tempestad, October 21, 2013. Capitulo 61.
Estercita tells Hernan that DamFab wants to take her son away from her and get a divorce. He has given her 2 days. Hernan forbids Estercita to give DamFab a divorce. Do what you have to do to stall it. Estercita complains that she has no money. Where's the money for the kidnapping of my son? I haven’t seen a penny yet (this woman wins mom of the year. NOT!). Hernan tells her that she will not have to worry about money since she is the heir of Ernesto's fortune. He will take care of getting it to her. She promises to give him a big bonus if he gets it quickly. He tells her he will keep her informed. After he hangs up, he calls her stupid. To think that I will let you see one penny of Ernesto's money. I am going to stay with it all.
Ursullied is lying on Hernan's bed with the twins. (I’m not taking about babies here). Hernan tells her to get to ready to head back home. Estercita is managing things badly. She complains that he hasn't spent any time with her, not even taken her out for dinner. Hernan tells her to listen to him. She refuses to do his bidding and they start fighting and he pushes her on the bed. You listen to me replies Hernan.
DamFab and Marina are on the phone talking. She can't believe that Estercita didn't put up a fight regarding the divorce that DamFab asked for. He assures her that he will fix things quickly so that they can be together. She needs to stay calm. Soon they will be together and no one will bother them. (only if you get rid of crazy Hernan, sweetcheeks). Every time he thinks of her his heart beats crazily like a “Tempestad”. She asks about Padre Tomas. He is getting better and better. She asks him to tell Padre hello for her. He asks her how she's doing. Fine replies Marina. She tells him that she will be dining tonight with.....but DamFab's phone loses power and she can't tell him who's she's dining with. Becky enters Marina's room to inform her that Hernan has arrived to take her to dinner. Marina tells Becky that she doesn't want to go, but she'll do it anyway.

PEAM #160, Oct. 21, 2013 - Oh Say Can You See…the Pie Carts Up That Hill Aimed at Baby Sellers and Baby Thieves
Here is an experiment:
Aida tells Jesica who is down stairs waiting for her. She says oh no he will kill him (Cardy I presume) just then Cardy takes a flying lesson Jesús assumes another rescue role that of working wonders of conciliation between madman Bernabe and red-faced Cardy. The girls ooh and aah and Jesica takes a flower vase in hand to face the musinc. Bernabe swings her around but lets her back to admire her physique as we all always do.
Xochi and Fernando take the new car for a spin. Apparently she has never driven before so this won't go well as she ruins some poor slubs knees who has the good judgement to run for his life. Xochi is more worried about damage to the new MiniCooper than to the involuntary manslaughter charges that might await her future driving attempts.
Jesica assures Cardy that she will handle Bernabe. Then she assures Bernabe that even though she is totally in lurve with Cardy he is so wonderful to her. They hug and dance in the coffee room moving the dance out into the open office. Bernabe waxes between ecstatic dancer and wild man ready to defend his old girlfriend if Cardy ever does anything bad to her.

Recapper stars in her own telenovela!
¿Qué es Common Core?
Carlos and Belinda are a young couple with children in the Mesa Public Schools. As MPS implements the new Common Core standards, Miss Millie helps Carlos and Belinda understand the changes. But a secret from Carlos' past threatens the safety of the entire family.
This was just too good not to share with the whole community! I shot this video series back in May and the Spanish version is out now. There was an English version shot at the same time, but it doesn't look like that's out yet. The idea is to introduce parents to the Common Core Standards and get them interested in what's going on in MPS by using the familiar telenovela format, as well as poking fun at a lot of the telenovela tropes (all that stuff we check off on the imaginary BINGO cards). I even got to say "No puede ser!" It's not meant to be a stand-alone, but is/has been presented to parents during meetings where they have an opportunity to ask questions and get more detailed information.

CI, # 114 -- Fri. 10/18/13 -- Don’t Know Where the Vengeance Went, but Now It’s All About Luurve
CeCe is on
leave for tonight’s recap due to exams, so La Paloma is reporting instead. Many
scenes are compressed and combined by topic, so they may be out of order.
It’s another
night of back-and-forth emotions for Tav and MC. Their attempts to find new
partners leave them back at square one, feeling the old feelings. Details of
this mess follow.
Previously
Tav protests to Miguel that MC isn’t just playing around with a new boyfriend, she has to think of a stepfather for Lupi. Mig thinks the engineer has a good salary, but Tav says MC won’t lack for anything as long as he’s around. It’s seems like a lie—MC’ love for Tav won’t allow her to date anyone new. (That’s some sublime self-satisfaction for our galan.)

MC and Alvaro
are out riding. He cheers her up and she trusts him, but does wonder why he is
helping her. Shortly, the new couple is at her table, drinking coffee, chatting
and laughing. Tav rings the doorbell, Santa answers and tells him to wait. Tav
sees the happy couple and knows Miguel wasn’t lying about MC’ new boyfriend.
Nevertheless, he’ll protect his daughter.
In a moment,
MC welcomes Tav and introduces Alvaro. The men grip each other’s hand in a
contest of manly power. (Sergio Goyri
seems to have more focus when he’s menacing someone as a bad guy. He’s sort of
a cardboard cutout here.)
Tav Rides
By to See Whose Truck Is Parked at MariCruz’ Hacienda
Tav claims he came to see Lupita. MC gestures him upstairs on his own, while she and Alvaro sit on the couch for more cozy conversation. Tav eavesdrops from the upstairs bridge. When the engineer leaves, MC lets him kiss her hand. She rips Tav for coming unannounced and with a rotten attitude.
