Mentir Para Vivir #36 Tue 11/26/13 Either Man Up or Take Some Midol, Ricky!

Alternative Title:  Pretty Ricky has an Ugly Day

Clinica Psiquiatrica de Sta Cruz:  Sebastian is desperately trying to convince his mother to say that Ricky is the only man that violated her at the infamous birthday party.  Maria says that it’s not true!  Sebastian knows, but tells her that Ricky is a very bad man.  He wants her to say that she had sex with Ricardo and no one else; she reluctantly agrees.  She makes him promise that he will get her out of there and he does.  She rubs her face against his hand.  Berniece watches the scene from across the lawn.

Trejo Bonfil Textiles/Hospital Lobby:  Oriana calls Jose Luis from the hospital.  She’s reschedules their meeting for the following day because Paloma has not been discharged yet.    After they hang up, Ruben approaches Oriana and tells her that Paloma ready to be discharged.  Oriana is concerned that Matilde will tell Paloma about the article.  Ruben says that he will kill Matilde if she does. 

The old owner of Trejo Bonfil Textiles returns his liquor to the desk drawer and stands to greet Francisco Castro.  He explains his sad history to the imposter.  His wife is ill.  Two of his children died in a crash and he ran out of money as Aresti Breton business flourished.  Francisco explains that he is part of a global investment company that made a few bad decisions; they are looking for something safe, something that will grow.  They have decided to do him a favor and sink dirty money in this company.  The man is thrilled.  He doesn’t want to see a one hundred year family enterprise go out of business.

Lo que la vida me robó, cap 6, Tues. 26 Nov. 2013: Alejandro suffers buyer's remorse, and the cash cow breaks out of the barn.

Let's start the evening with a little pop quiz to make sure you're all awake.

1.  Why do both Dim and Montse wear their hair swept forward over their brows?
2.  What does Graciela like to call her daughter privately?
3.  What does Graciela call her daughter when she is wheedling or when Lauro is present?
4.  What does Graciela call her son?

The following is a two-part essay question and is worth 20 points: 
I.  Why does Graciela have glow-in-the-dark teeth?

Mentir Para Vivir #35 Mon 11/25/13 Famoso empresario abuses retrasada mental and wears an ascot * while making love.

*a type of fancy scarf worn by rich metrosexual boys and galancetes of the telenovela variety



We start with a rehash of Friday’s conversation between Jose Luis and Oriana. She refuses to go back to him, so when Alina goes to say goodbye to her father, he asks her if she’d ever live with him without Oriana. Alina looks torn - this is a choice no kid should ever have to make.

Padre Reddish Plaid is visiting Paloma at the hospital. She’ll be let go the next day, but she’s not as happy as one would expect, because she wants to find out the truth about Ines.
Their talk goes something like this:

Paloma Cruise: “I want the truth!”
Padre Nicholson: “You can’t handle the truth!”

Padre worries that her heart might not be strong enough for this, but she insists that she has to know everything there is to know about Ines’ husband and she’s sure that he won’t lie to her, because he’s a priest.
Mariano isn’t very proud of his priesthood these days, but he does tell Paloma that Francisco Castro, the man who was interested to invest in Aresti Breton is none other than the mysterious husband. Cara de enferma impactada de Paloma (meaning she’s shocked, but her eyes are only moderately goggling upon hearing the big news).

Lo que la vida me robo, November 25, 2013. Capitulo 5


Graciela tells the police that she accompanied her son, DamDim, to take care of a debt he had with the dearly departed. DamDim confirms they were there for about 20 mins. Lauro observes all with his normally confused face or is it bored look? I can't tell. Anyway the police ask if they remember anything else to let them know.

Next they pay a visit to our resident stud, Alejandro. He tells them about the dearly departed’s bad dealings. Victor is glad that Ale didn't comment about Bruno stealing from him. The police could have interpreted it wrong. Ale saw no reason to mention it.

Gaspar asks Juventino where he's been. He lies and says he was looking into some prices on vitamins for the animals. Instead of scolding me, you should be trying to hook up Maria and Alejandro together. We could then be the owners of all this. Gaspar tells him that he is tired of hearing the same crap. And stop putting ideas into his daughters head. He has other ambitions.

Lauro is upset that DamDim owed Bruno money and wasn't even informed about it. Graciela was going to tell him but wanted to take care of it first. DamDim jokes that if he knew Bruno was going to end up dead, he wouldn't have bothered paying him. Lauro tells him to shut up. Now that DamDim will be returning to the marina, he will be getting some well earned discipline. Whether he wants it or not. He decides to go to bed. He asks if Graciela is coming. In just a moment. I want to talk to Montse first. Mommy dearest asks Montse who is Jose Luis?

Corazon Indomable #140 & 141, 11/25/13: Dopes, Doris and Drama

The recap is now all done! I came up with the title before watching the episodes, but after watching, I still think it fits perfectly.

-Vivi

--
Part 1:

MC swears to Juanita that if she and Tav were to meet today, unlike the first time they met and fell in love, things would be very different. Uh huh. MC desperately wants to see and kiss Tav.

Tav offers up Alfie as a better playmate for Doris, but tells her to be careful of his playboy ways. Doris assures him she can handle Alfie. She isn’t deterred by Tav’s lack of enthusiasm for renewing a friendship with her. Back in his hotel, Tav thinks to himself that he must tell Doris that he’s reconciled with MC and is looking for her. (Any bets on when he actually gets around to doing this?) Miguelito, meanwhile, is out late partying with friends, leaving his bed empty for the night.

Alfie asks his mommy about Doris and MC. He wants them both and wants to learn more about them both. Being that they are beautiful women, of course they are perfect targets for an “adventure.” He puts his fiancé Mercedes/Meche down. She does not please his artist’s eye.

The next morning, Clementina asks MC to go on a trip with her, once Alfie is married. Clementina is still hot to get MC hitched. MC says she has no luck in the love department. Clem guesses correctly that MC has suffered greatly for love.

Corazon Indomable - caps 138 & 139 Fri 11/22/13 She's Baaack!

Two hours we'll never get back... Two... Dos... This double episode could have taken thirty minutes and still have been wayyy too long. But some good things happened so I'll try not to be excessively bitter.

We get to see Miguel die again... almost as satisfying as the first time  though we didn't get to see Nazario pull the trigger this time around. We get only minimal sepia flashbacks of the good times with Miguel... but let's face it, there weren't all that many.

We're also treated to Nazario's surrender. He did it his way, first finishing off his beer. He swills it down, slowly stands up, and thrusts out his wrists

Killin' A Man Is Thirsty Work


"I don't regret what I did."

Yes, well wait until you get thirsty again, I'm betting... no beer for you for a very long time.

And last but not least... She's baaack! You heard right, Doris has returned and lest we forgot, reminds us that she is the governor's daughter.

But first we have a lot... and I do mean a lot... of dreary filler. So pour yourself a double of whatever, sit back, and endure.

Juanita assures Maricruz that she looks great in a cheap dress. Let's face it, Maricruz looks great in just about anything. She tells Juanita that she will get in touch with Octavio tomorrow to tell him where they are. She's anxious to see him. Lupita must be off the drugs because she seems much more animated and not so drowsy. Maybe she's joined a twelve step program.

Alfonso confirms his date for the opera with his mom. Both are very excited ... well, perhaps she's a bit more enthusiastic than he is. His new intended and her new companion lady will be going. She encourages him to dress nice.

"He Was Loved And Respected... We Expected A Few More People."

Lo Que la Vida me Robo #4- 11/22/13: Dimmy Dim Dim Did A Bad, Bad Thing!



Ahoy, Amigis! I couldn't let go of the Nautical Theme we had going on LT. We do have the Naval element here ; ) I too am having withdrawls but as Ms. NovelaMaven quoted me, that ship has indeed sailed. At least we have a couple hunks and that gorgeous beach, and who knows maybe some shirtless beach scenes ; )


The Poor Fool According To Dimi:
Monse (Monserrat) and JL (Jose Luis) are making out on the beach and Dimi sees all. He thinks so that's the poor fool Monse is hooking up with! JL sees that Monse is worried about the running away and getting married. She isn't doubting, just thinks it won't be easy, seeing as they have no moola. JL lets her know he will get some lana (money) but she has this piece of land her Tia left her, and someone is interested in it, she could sell. JL doesn't want her doing that. He'll take care of her and everything she needs cause, say it with me Y'all, Te Amo!


The Smart Sexy Man:
Ale (Alejandro) is with that dirty dealing Bruno and wants to know how he got ahold of these documents (the promissory note and the deed). Well, you see Bruno tells him, Dimmy Dim Dim (Dimitri or Triple D) has been borrowing huge amounts of money from him. Since Dimmy Dim Dim couldn't pay him back the Admiral  signed a promissory note and the deed is collateral. Ale wants to know how it is that the Mendoza family, who rumor has it, doesn't have this kind of moola laying around, do tell! Bruno tells him although they have put up a good front, the family isn't as moneyed as it used to be. They are about to lose it all! Ale will take the promissory note and the deed and Bruno asks him if he'd like an envelope with that? Yeah, and by the by, think of the voice of The Donald, Bruno is fired! Bruno doesn't look surprised.

Mentir Para Vivir #34 Fri 11/22/13 From Hearts and Glowers To Mr. Might For Spite Makes Right With Raqi

{This may take a while to get up today as I've got holiday commitments sprouting up out of nowhere. I'll try to get it up by later this evening. You have the page to comment for now. --Jardinera654 }

~~Parte 1~~


Cap. #34

Lo del Pasado:

Viewerville, fighting to view the characters through the garish glare of Party Princess Pinks and Purples, has noted that Jose Luis, aka Francisco Castro, aka Fakecisco has just thrown a damper on the party by showing up and stealing all Ricardo’s step Papi glory by bringing the best present there could be for his little daughter: a brand new garishly pink and purple bicycle complete with pink training wheels and streamers. Ric and Oriana head directly over to tell Fakecisco to take his Daddy From the Dark Side presence and the training bike with him. Guard-dog de Guerrero de Eliseo makes to pull his gun out of the back of his belt at the insult, but is stopped with a single hand gesture from JL. Padre Mariano of the windowpane plaid padre-collared shirts comes over to second the request.

Lo del Nuevo:

As Viewerville successfully fights the urge to do a color check of its tv screens, Mariano follows JL out to the street and lets him know that he knows who Fakecisco really is and hopes the man won’t sacrifice his wife’s and little girl’s futures just to get his own way. “—Don’t be so naive, Padre!!” “—And you? Don’t be so sure, Son!” JL fights the urge to argue any further and forces himself to walk away.

Corazon Indomable #137: Simona Sports A New Attitude and Miguel Is A Dead Man Walking

Capítulo 137

Alfonso (what is with all these characters being named with Al derivatives?), aka Fonzie, asks Maricruz to tell him about her life. He asks if she’s married. MC confesses that she was once, but that fate was the cause of her separation from her man. Fonzie says he doesn’t believe in fate. MC doesn’t really want to go there and he decides to leave sleeping dogs lie. He’s got an appointment with his fiancée, anyway. Yes, he admits, despite the times they are a changin’ when it comes to families choosing marital mates for their children, his wealthy parents apparently are slow adapters. The pretty little rich girl they picked out for him, he complains, is the DF poster child for Valley Girls R Us, and he’s not looking forward to getting hitched.

Mentir Para Vivir #33 Wed 11/20/13 Not in front of the children!



Lo Refrito
Oriana blindly defends her lying, cheating, criminal, husband to Mariano and 
Ricky.  They discuss their options -- Ricky can marry Oriana, but that could make JL angry and accuse Oriana of bigamy, exposing them both and therefore sending them both to jail.  And what about Alina?  What to do, what to do.  Ricky promises to stand by her no matter what.  

Ugh, we had to see a repeat of Fabi's walk of shame.  Poor little lamb.  I hate Seba.   

Piero reports that the signature on Oriana's wedding certificate and the bank docs are one and the same.  Ricky asks Piero to verify if JL had signing authority on that account. He even says he's willing to sell all his shares to JL so that he'll leave Ori alone.  Peori warns him against making such a drastic move.  He'd end up giving up his inheritance and leaving Paloma in the hands of that desgraciado.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 3-11/20/13: More Avoidance Issues for Jose Luis, More Jewelry For Juventino, More Scheming for Graciela, and a Few Yearning Looks for Monserrat From Alejandro


RECAP BY JULIA R.



Hola! I'm Julia R and will be recapping every other Wed--sharing duties with Eli. I have something very important to confess before we begin: although I've been reading and loving Caray Caray! for a while, I'm actually a little embarrassed to admit that I'm a recapping virgin! Hope you won't mind the pun, but, yes, this is my first time ever, folks. Given the expertise on my excellent recapping team, I've got a lot to live up to, but I promise to do my best--some scenes have been combined because there was so much and to keep the flow going. I hope I didn't miss anything. Let's get started!

The old and a little new: Hacienda Mendoza. A nervous but excited Monserrat in a fetching little midriff-baring number that should be the envy of step squads across America runs to the door of her casa to let in her secret novio, José-Luis, whom she is hoping on this day will finally work up the nerve to talk to her father about their relationship. She has already told her father that Cabo Álvarez wants to speak to him and J-L was supposed to be waiting outside while she prepared Papa for the chit chat. However, poor Monserrat opens the door to find not J-L at all but actually Bachelor # 2--Guzmancito! (Sorry, I meant Alejandro Almonte, but I couldn't resist one shout out to my beloved Amores Verdaderos; I miss El Capitan Fabre and the LT crew, too, but am also very happy to see Sebastián Rulli back at the 9 PM time slot!)

PEAM #181.2- 11/20/13: We All Should Obey When Love Commands. The End!


RECAP BY PABLO

Dear Caray readers, I thank you for your patience and trust allowing me to experience something new for me. I am glad I did it, but I am also sad, since this excellent experience happened with this awful Telenovela. Thanks again and see you in the comments. 
This is my last participation for the time being, and since this has not been discussed, I would like to add a couple points from yesterday (I know, it's hard to say goodbye). 

Also on Sunday...

Aunque la jaula sea de oro, no deja de ser prisión

It doesn't matter if dad is in jail or free. On Father's Day, you just have to go see him. Today, we witness Mostro hugging his kids and Patricia taking Fernandito to see Papá Rogelio. Patricia, who could be doing theater off Broadway right now but she missed the chance when she decided not to follow Elías, still rehearses in the hopes that one day she can succeed as a ventriloquist, throwing her voice so Rogelio thinks that the baby is starting to speak and that he is not missing those big moments in every father's life.

Later on, to Rogelio's surprise, Fernando brings Mr. Fernando senior, their father, but Rogelio is still very hurt to forgive... Mr Fernando, who moonshines sprinkling sugar on churros and playing maracas, didn't come to ask for anything, just to see how his sons were doing and to met his namesake and grandson. Rogelio changes his mind and thinks of all the times when he abused and hurt his brother and since now his life is changing, he is not going to perpetuate all this hate. They hug and cry.

Corazon Indomable, #136, 11/19/13 Portrait of a lady



I was dreading this episode, but I actually found it quite ok and fast paced (But keep in mind this is Corazon Indomable, so don’t expect too much).

Rehash from yesterday:

“Me rindo ante este amor!”(I surrender to this love) – MC says in a completely anticlimactic way and this line reminds me of a similar one said by Camila in Amor Bravio, during her much awaited and perfectly timed reunion with Daniel (Me rindo ante ti, me rindo ante mi, me rindo ante este amor – SWOON!) – Needless to say, when MC says it, it feels so flat to me, that I’m upset they’d use such a powerful line with this travesty couple.
MC and Tav still have a smokin’ chemistry and that’s so sad, because the direction of this scene didn’t do them any justice – their kiss has no spark, this is not a reunion kiss!

The new stuff:

MC is going to Mexico, Tav is staying behind for a while to make sure Simona is getting better (or dies once and for all); then he’ll join MC and Lupita to the city.
So, El Chulito and La Salvajita say one final farewell and then each goes their own way.

Tav tells Migreedy that he plans to go stay with Simona during her operation and after that he‘ll reunite with MC. Migreedy is pissed, when MC leaves the ranch he tries to convince her that Tav will never lover her, he can only love himself.
But, unlike the 130 episodes we’ve had to endure so far, today MC is willing to risk it all for love, open herself to the possibilities their future holds; she also wishes Migreedy to meditate on all the bad things that he’s done. Adios para siempre, she adds.
Good riddance to bad rubbish would be more likely, but MC has more class than I’d have in a similar situation.

Mentir Para Vivir #32 Tue 11/19/13 Cynderella's Interpretation

Please forgive me!  I do not have cable.  Last night I was watching Me Vida Me Robo (Or whatever) and in the last ten minutes, the show was interrupted by a soccer game.  I waited to see if it was a mistake, but Mentir didn't come on and I fell asleep.  So, I don't know if it aired or not.  Anyways, I depend on the ccs to do recaps.  I didn't get to see the aired episode or have the recaps.  I watched it on line, and the following will be my interpretation of what happened.  It's made up!  If I would have written the episode, this is what would have happened based on what I saw and the things that I could understand. 

My version will be up shortly!  In the meanwhile...talk amongst yourselves and share what you know.  See my version below.  See Vivi's version in the comments for the TRUTH!   [I've included both parts following Cynderella's summary.  Thanks to both of you since the rescheduling really screwed all of us up!  I almost missed both telenovela episodios myself last night. --Jardinera654]

Lo que la vida me robó, Capítulo 2, Tuesday, November 19, 2013: ♫ Love and marriage ♫ ... don't necessarily go together

The grief counselors have come and gone.  Now only time will complete the healing of the broken hearts of the folks on The Patio.  No more evenings with DamFab. No more crazy guys in pants of many colors.  No more Sabritas machine humming reassuringly in the background.   

["This is getting serious," whispers EJ.  "It may be time for some tough love."]

Mads rallies The Patio: "Snap out of it, y'all," she tells them. "That ship has sailed."  

[There's some uncomfortable shuffling of feet, a bit of grumbling here and there.  But at last they put down their nerfazos and settle down to watch.]

Let's see what is going on tonight in Aguazul, a lovely pueblo by the sea--  

Kitchen Chatter at Hacienda Almonte
María pouts because she chased down Alejandro to console him and he sent her away.   She is so worried. Everything is changing -- and she's afraid of losing Alejandro.  (Oh honey, we won't even go there.) 

All cats are gray in the dark
"I thought you were someone else," explains Montserrat with a smile.  
[She had hugged Alejandro, mistaking him for José Luis.  Hmm.  Is mis-hugged a word?]

PEAM, Tuesday 11/19/13 (#181): El Gran Final, pt 1 - Falling and Rising

Hold onto your hats for a finale so funny, you won't know when to START laughing, much less when to stop!

Chucho tells Demonica: you've alienated everyone who cared about you because you destroyed everyone in your path. Do the right thing for once and let me save Valentina. I'll even let you escape. You've been a good mother. I know you love Valentina. Let's save her together. OUR child. Don't you have any compassion?

"And who has compassion for ME?" Vero retorts. She holds the gun to her own head and fires, but it's too late - he's already knocking the gun out of her hand. How gallant.

Satan calls. "The kid tried to escape! She won't drink her water!" Vero beneficently tells Satan to put Vale on the phone to talk to Chucho. Vale stomps on one of Satan's giant feet with both of her tiny feet. While Chucho tells Vale to pray, Vero nails him in the shoulder with a big syringe. She tells Satan to get the kid under control. "You know what to do." She taunts Chucho while he slowly loses consciousness.

Corazon Indomable, Episode #135, Monday, November 18, 2013 Rescue, Food & Shelter – Octavio’s Recipe for Winning Back Maricruz……No Apologies Needed……WTH??!!!”



Written by LatinaInMD                                                                     

Rehash of JackAss and Simona meeting; Simona informs him that she is giving a hectare of land to HIS WIFE; in other words, not to you, Jackass.  (This is followed by a useless scene of Octavio and Migreedy – NEXT.)

As luggage is loaded into a car, a surprisingly lucid Simona bids farewell to her home and junior.  Simona makes Octavio promise never to separate from his son and to take him with him wherever he goes (as if Oblivio’s promises are worth anything).  Fortunately, Simona has the good sense to extract the same promise from Ofelia – if nothing else, Ofelia is loyal and more trustworthy than Oblivio.

JackAss visits Maricruz and informs her that Simona and Octavio are preparing to leave; Maricruz says she sincerely hopes Simona returns cured from her illness.  JackAss asks if Maricruz will see Octavio again if Simona returns cured.  Maricruz assures him that no matter what happens, she “will never see him again.”  (Mark those words, Viewerville.)  As much as we detest JackAss, we must agree when he tells her that he doesn’t believe her.

Now Simona assures Miguel that she holds him in high esteem too and asks that he too watch over her son.  (Excuse me while I laugh – the man can’t even take care of his own, nearly forgotten son, woman.)

An angry group of Realengueros stands in the way of a bulldozer preparing to raze all the little toy houses on which Maricruz blew her humongous (yeah, right) fortune.  JackAss just happens to be there, and they all want him to explain to them why “that woman” lied to them and “sold herself to those people for money”.  JackAss washes his hands of the problem, reminding them he doesn’t work there anymore.  Now the priest comes running to try to reason with the angry mob.

Maricruz starts bringing her belongings out to the ranch house’s veranda in little cardboard boxes tied with twine.  (Boxes and twine?!  Holy cow – now we know she is dead broke.)  JackAss comes running up to her and warns her that she is in grave danger.  She is incredulous and informs him (and Viewerville, of course) that she just barely received her compensation for the taken land, but it’s so little it will barely pay for her existing debts.  He warns her that the Realengo people think she betrayed them.
