La Tempestad, Capítulo 70, Friday, November 1, 2013: If you love me, kill her.
First we have a special treat in honor of Él día de los muertos:
People on the Patio chats with Becky and José
NovelaMaven: Tonight we get to spend some time with two of our favorite characters and find out how they feel about the shabby way Univisión has treated them.
Tía Becky, many of us still recall your arrival in Nuestra Señora del Mar, all that flirty energy you brought to the scene with just a skoosh of… do forgive me…vulgarity. You gave a triple espresso jolt to that rather dull household where Marina and Beatriz had settled in like two prissy spinsters. And when you and Marina shared a scene, Marina seemed…I don't know…animated.
Tía Becky: It's true. At first, Marina was a little stiff. We'd have to loosen her up before filming by doing tequila shots together (the good stuff, not the paint thinner Candy sells in La Guac).
[TB turns, lifts an elegantly manicured finger to beckon a waiter: Un whiskey doble, por favor]
NM: I'm glad that you bring that up, Becky. Let's talk about your drinking…

Weekend Discussion: Remakes (Again? Por Supuesto....)
While I am looking forward to Lo Que La Vida Me Robó I have to wonder just how long it should take to do a remake of anything, especially by the same network. I never saw the 1983 original (Bodas de Odio), so I don't have a basis for comparison to Amor Real. Updating the story to the present should change a few plot points and character traits, especially for the female protagonist.
There are many novelas remade multiple times by Televisa and for different reasons. I end up wondering why they try remaking something that's already perfect and whether anyone will ever stop to think that Enough is Enough and let's do something new for a change.

La Tempestad – 10/31/13 On Halloween, A Tale of Curses Fallen
The witches curse from:
Third Charm from Masque of Queens
The owl is abroad, the bat, and the toad,
And so is the cat-a-mountain,
The ant and the mole sit both in a hole,
And the frog peeps out o' the fountain;
The dogs they do bay, and the timbrels play,
The spindle is now a turning;
The moon it is red, and the stars are fled,
But all the sky is a-burning:
The ditch is made,
and our nails the spade,
With pictures full,
of wax and of wool;
Their livers I stick,
with needles quick;
There lacks but the blood,
to make up the flood.
Quickly, Dame, then bring your part in,
Spur, spur upon little Martin,
Merrily, merrily, make him fail,
A worm in his mouth, and a thorn in his tail,
Fire above, and fire below,
With a whip in your hand,
to make him go.
Mexico
City
It
is hard to say if anything but
The
curse of rogue witches could cause such woe.
Mercedes
is poised to speak the truth with what
Courage
she has, to Marina she must go.
Who
receive the news, so hard to believe?
El
Capitan and Claudio give ear
Good
luck says Claudio, thinking naïve
Mercedes’
fond hope. May her daughter hear!

Mentir Para Vivir #19 Thu 10/31/13 Instalar para (Intentar) Manejar
Paloma is glad that they've found Maria again. She's worried that Fidelia won't be able to handle her. Ricardo tells her about what happened when Fidelia tried to call Paloma and got Matilde instead. Inés thinks Fidelia will get the hang of dealing with Maria. Ricardo takes his leave and Paloma and Inés discuss the possibility of Ricardo marrying Maria. Paloma thinks that's ridiculous. Ricardo has done the best he can. Clearly Ricardo is in love with Inés and Paloma is glad to see him so happy. Paloma figures Maria will be fine as long as she's taken care of. She wants Inés to take care of herself and not consider the possibility of Ricardo being stuck in a marriage he doesn't want. Inés verifies with Paloma that Matilde doesn't know anything about her "past."
Ricardo fills Mariano in on the latest developments. He's also tormented with the idea that he "should have" married Maria. He wants to marry Oriana, though, but she brought up the same question--who would he be marrying? Oriana or Inés? Mariano tells him that the church wouldn't obligate him to marry someone who's not in her right mind, so there's no concern on that score. They both ponder the change in Sebastian's attitude.
Raquel runs into Inés in the courtyard and talks to her about the work on the new hotel, Berto being their first guest, and the guy who bought El Descanso asking about Oriana. The name Eliseo Martinez doesn't ring a bell with Inés, but Raquel passes on the theory that the mystery man is Oriana's husband.

CI Capítulo 123 – Thur., 10-31-13. -- Maricruz and Octavio Face Off in the Battle for Lupita: Round 1 Concludes, Alliances Emerge, and Simona Suffers Collateral Damage.
Battlefield bulletins and reports
are included in this recap. Many scenes are combined to reduce whiplash and/or ennui.
Feel free to add more detail in comments.
If we missed the previous episode,
Ester lets Padre Julian (and viewerville) know that Octavio kidnapped Lupita
from her home with Maricruz. We also see
Ester crying and praying that MC will get her child back. After all, MC helped
save Ester and her son during his birth; now Ester repents of any evil deeds
she committed against MC.
Bulletin #1 Aggrieved mother MC, accompanied by local official
Morales, enters Simona’s and Tav’s home to demand the return of her daughter.
Stalled by their refusal, MC pulls out her big ammo—Simona will pay for this
dastardly deed and it won’t be long: she’s a dying woman! MC will Reveal All to Simona, including Tav’s
planned desertion, if they don’t return Lupita. Mig buckles and tells Tav to
return the child, so a teary Tav brings a droopy Lupi downstairs and delivers
her to MC’s eager arms.
Bulletin #2 Simona is suffering flak injuries from MC’ broadside. She insists Tav
explain things—why didn’t he let MC talk? Tav says MC was just making up stuff
and Simona should “trust him.” (We’ve heard that one before.) Tav thinks MC is playing dirty by trying to
blackmail him. He later assures Mig that he’s over the MC sickness and he’ll take
back his daughter.

Corazon Indomable #122 Galan #6 to the rescue! Where is Galan#7 when MC needs him?
This episode is so crazy and all over the place that I'm not sure I can keep up. The back and forth is hurting my brain and I think it's going to explode. Here is the best I can do.
Santa doesn't put up much of a fight when Octavio takes little Lupita from the only family and house she knows. But she doesn't cry or put up a fuss, so I guess she's ok with it. MC and Juanita come back from shopping and find out that Lupita has been kidnapped. Wondering where Octavio could have gone with Lupita, Santa says that he probably took her to his home and MC is surprised by this. Simona's house? He took her to Simona's house? Santa: Yes, he lives there. (Actual conversation). But MC stands her ground. No one knows what she's capable of!!!! He won't get away with this!!!

La Tempestad Capitulo 68 , Wed 10/30/13 - Lots of pining, too much whining, and too little reclining
Otra vez with the crazy cuts. Some scenes are out of order but hopefully it all makes sense. They cut out some key stuff again. Cut scenes are in PURPLE.
We start where we left off, with DamWistful and Marina separated in body but together in thought:
"Ay Marina." "Ay Damian." Our lovers pine for each other.
Hernan and Ursula have lunch. He thinks Fully is behind the telephone hijinks. Ernie is dead so it must be Fully. Ursula’s not so sure.
Meanwhile Fully fumes about running for Mayor. He’s also pithed because Hernan is trying to shoehorn him out of the mob. He won’t permit it because he wants to be the boss of everyone! He has someone who can look into Ernie’s will. Furthermore, if he (Fully) loses control then he won’t be able to defend Mercedes against those who are attacking her. Interesting.

Mentir Para Vivir #18 Wed 10/30/13 How do you solve a problem like Maria?
La Feria
Maria tries to get on a ride, but she's
run out of tickets --- and the buitres
(vultures) are circling, offering to take her to find her father. Later, Maria
walks through the nearly empty fairgrounds, followed closely by those
predators. She goes on and on about how she'd love to have a carousel in her
home, but it's too small. But her husband, Ricky's house is plenty big enough
for a carousel! Wait, what? You say your husband has a big house?
The she-predator tries to get the full name of said husband. They
convince her it's getting late and why don't they go home now, to their house,
and they can go find Ricky in the morning. They promise they have lots of
dolls and a tele. Maria goes merrily along
Caretaker Elvira arrives at the fair looking for Maria but isn’t
able to find a trace of her.

PEAM #167- 10/30/13: Attention! Flashbacks Now Include Oiled Chest Rubbing! Guess Whose?
Recap By Pablo
Octavio and the lemming team sure have a sick idea of what fun is.
Someone has a red neck
Verónica is licking her lips because her plan came out perfect.
-Not so perfect- says Roger while grabbing her arm and pulling her -you're doing a lot of harm-
-Stop it! Between you and Jesús are going to tear my arms off!!
-Ok, ok, keep your arms, I am going to choke you!, here, take this!
-Mmmhhgggg, mmmghhhffff!!
Domitila shows up walking like she doesn't want to pop balloons on the floor, just in time to stop another murder, and Roger lets Verónica go...
-Damn! Now I owe my life to the help!
I am not a serial killer, so I don't understand why most of them have to post all the pictures of the people they want to kill, on a wall and cross them out with huge red ''exes''. Couldn't they just make a list in their minds and not have this physical proof that incriminates them once anybody sees it? I mean, what is the purpose? Keeping track? Isn't there an app for that? Why not make a list and keep it in the shirt pocket? Juárever, Verónica has a cork board on the wall with all the pictures and she goes and hits it with a knife every time she is upset, which is most of the time. That board has more holes than a strainer...
But knowing that Roger has found out about that wall has sealed Cynthia's fate, because she was the one who told Roger and knowing how gossipy everybody here is, Roger probably already told Jesús and now I am sure all Avon knows it... do you know what this means? First she has to go to Cynthia's Facebook page and download her picture for the wall, and then... After Cynthia, Roger is next!

He took Lupita! God help him! CI 10/29/13
Hi everyone-
We had a minor snafu and there won't be a full recap today, maybe tonight I can do something to fill everyone in on what happened last night. I did not watch the whole episode but did catch the last few minutes, I can tell you that Octavio thought it was a good idea to take Lupita from Santa by force. I have a feeling that he is going to regret that cause sh*t just got real.
In the mean time feel free to discuss last night's episode :)

thoughts on the Jesse Jackson Baby Scandal.
If This Car’s A

Outside of the Bolo Bar, in full view of the other patrons, Raquel
conquers Cesar while riding astride him in his tiny chariot.
Unfortunately panting with
Pretty Ricky rather than painting the
walls of the garish blue bungalow is foremost on Oriana’s mind. At his bedroom's threshold, she tells him that she doesn’t want to get
preggers. Ricky guarantees that he won’t knock
her up until after he marries her. They
go in the bedroom and get busy.
Later, in the driveway, outside of Paloma’s mansion, Ricky
continues feasting on Oriana’s lips like she’s his last meal and the chef just
bought a gravy bowl to the table. They
pause only when Raquel knocks on the car window and makes hand signals to
Oriana, indicating that she is watching her.
Oriana spots Cesar and asks Ricky if he thinks that Cesar and Raquel are
an item. Ricky could care less. He says that he wants to formalize their
engagement and rams his tongue down her throat.

PEAM, Tuesday 10/29/13 (#166): Bloodshed and Anemia
Chucho isn't impressed with the voicemail message that was found on Alma's phone. Delia calls in some favors and gets a few police officers to help Chucho go around the neighborhood with photos of potential witnesses from the security camera. Chucho finds out that one particular guy who may have gotten a good look at the shooter's face is a vagrant named Cristobal.
Remember I joked a while back that Vero needs lots of sleep to keep up her busy schedule of bitchery? Today she visits Alma in prison to gloat. There's a minimum 30 year sentence for murder, she taunts. Despite feeling crummy, Alma musters up enough bile to counter-taunt. "Jesus is MINE and he will NEVER be yours! You'll lose your child and then you will rot from the inside. You will die of hatred."
Chucho is waiting in his car at the murder warehouse in hopes that Cristobal will come around. Rog comes out to see him and talk about Vero and Alma. Chucho brings him up to date on the investigation and shows him Cynthia's foto of Vero's Gallery of Grief or Wall of Woe or Mural de Muertos.
Chucho notes that Rogelio really is changing. Abashed, Rog says he still has lots of secrets. He wants to free himself of all his past misdeeds and hints that a big punishment awaits.

La Tempestad, October 28, 2013. Capitulo 66.
This was actually 2 episodes. The unseen parts are in red.
DamFab recalls Marina telling him
he's going to be a father again. Marina rubs her belly and tells the unborn baby
that they will all be happy together.
Ursullied tells
Estercita that the necklace she is wearing was given to her by Hernan and she
came to show Fully. Estercita says it's pretty, but not the same quality as her
jewelry. Ursullied wants to know who gave her her nice jewels. Estercita says
she will tell her another time, but right now wants to talk to her dad alone.
She tells Fully that DamFab gave her divorce papers. She needs his help. If
things keep going this way, he will lose his grandson.
Hernan in the hot red pants is
kissing some hoochie. He reminds her that he doesn't like surprises.
Fully yells at Estercita for naming
the baby after Michel Fabre. Estercita tells Fully
that his grandson really is Ernesto's and not DamFab's. (I thought he already
knew?).
Macario visits
Ernesto. Ernesto thinks in all the years Macario has worked for him, he thought
he knew him. But ever since Macario started working for Hernan he has become a
traitor. Macario denies the whereabouts of Estercita and son. Ernesto says stop
lying. Macario finally admits he knows but won't tell him. You took my family
away from me and now you will not be able to find yours. I want you to suffer the
way I did all these years. You will never, never see your son again!
Fully says he knew it!
How could you register my grandson with that name? He is Ernesto's! All this
for that man. Estercita promises to compensate him. Fully agrees to help but
only because his grandson is Ernesto's.

Mentir Para Vivir #16 Mon 10/28/13 A lovers’ first quarrel, a mysterious figure that slowly approaches and …Raquel making the rounds.
Yesterday:
Oriana was invited to
have dinner at Ricardo’s blue bungalow; when he offered to take her home, she tried a some of her seductive powers on him – worked like a charm.
They broke some
glasses, stumbled around for a bit and ended up in the bedroom.
(I’m not sure how much
of the love scene each of us got to see, so
in the name of full disclosure – no pun intended – I’ll try my best to give all the important
details, you know, for better clarity.)
Today:
Ricardo loses his
jacket and shirt before even getting to the bedroom, and once they are near his
bed, Oriana’s dress comes off, too.
So, five minutes into
the episode, we have both of them down to the underwear and the music changes
its tune to something more sensual.
A lot (I mean A LOT) of
kissing and some real nakedness ensues, but thankfully those strategically
placed sheets do their job just fine.
Once the did is over, Ricardo
is holding a hand over Oriana’s very naked chest, dozing off at the same time,
and she’s lazily caressing his arm – now, that’s what I call acting, I’m not
sure I could be that comfortable being naked with a stranger, not even if he
were one of my telenovios (and Zepeda is not in the selected club, anyway).
Before the
scene is over, Ricardo opens his eyes ever so briefly and his gaze rests on
Oriana’s hand, with her wedding rings as bright as ever on her finger – you
can’t tell me this is the first time he notices them, I’ve been screaming about
this since they first met.

PEAM #165-10/28/13: Chucho Is On the Case; Xochi Has Big News, The Return of Rico Suave!
Hola PEAM Peeps! I am subbing for our wonderful Ms Cheryl who is in Oxaca for a couple of weeks. This recap will be short and sweet, maybe ; ) and mostly in order. I am skipping the old and going straight to the new.
Luisa is much better. Chatita and Sebas make a good team in watching her as Chucho is going to have a muy busy day.
Alma in the jail is being formally charged with Marta's murder. No bail for poor Alma. She will stay incarcerated. Astudillo later calls Chucho and tells him the same.
Pato, Rog and little Ferny are all sleeping, but Ruh Roh, little Ferny wakes up and cries, and Pato tries to wake Rog, who is very slow to wake up. Pato gets up and tends to the bebe, Rog rubs his eyes and they talk about Alma being in la carcel, they are both worried about her, and Rog asks Pato to marry him sooner rather than later!
Chucho has a new job! He is becoming like M. Hercule Poirot, like a dog that won't let go of a bone, in other words, like a detective and Delia is going to have that device tested for substances. Chucho's theory is that it was full of some type of drug that knocked Alma out when she turned on the air conditioner. Chucho is also going to check around the pharmacy where Alma went, to see if anyone saw anything.

Corazon Indomable #120, 10/28/2013: Otra Vez, el Burro al Trigo!
The Old: Migreedy
convinces JackAss to write a letter implying that he (JA) had a sexual
relationship with Maricruz, when she was married to Tav, and get it post-dated.
Tav threatens MC with taking away Lupita, if she’s raising their daughter in an
unfit/immoral environment, while Engineer Moustache (aka Alvaro) listens unnoticed.
The New:
Tav continues to fight for the title of Worst Galan Ever by
telling MC that due to her reduced circumstances she’s likely going to
prostitute herself (not his exact words, but the spirit of them), and won’t be
able to provide adequately for their daughter even doing that. Lupita will just
be a burden and impediment to her, so MC should just give Lupita to him. (Alvaro slips out unnoticed.) MC insists
she’s not living an immoral life, and WILL marry Engineer Alvaro, who has been
nothing but supportive. Plus, she’s a free woman! They go back and forth for a
while with many of the same arguments they used 60 episodes ago, when the odd
man out was the Love Gov (e.g. Lupita is MY daughter, mine alone/I won’t let
you raise my daughter in an unfit environment). At the end, MC basically tells him over her
dead body will she be separated from her daughter, and if he tries to take her
away, she’ll kill him like the dog he is! (Please do!)
