Lo Que La Vida Me Robó Lunes 12/16/13 Capitulo 19
Chapter
19: The Pursuit of Love and Fortune
In
Review
Corporal
Alvarez found the calling card of the deceased steward and decided to
impersonate him upon arrival at Almonte Manor. Refugio told his
friend he was mad: The dead man was described as a widower with no
children so surely he would not be able to manage this. Corporal
Alvarez told him the deception is meant to be only long enough to
enable him to liberate Lady Monserrat. They proceeded to bury the
unfortunate Mr Olivares, as the smoke from a makeshift cremation
would attract unwanted attention.
Current
Happenings:
Lady
Monserrat's Chamber: Rosario brought her breakfast and enquired
why she was not outdoors enjoying the beautiful sunshine. Her
Ladyship thanked her, but said she preferred to stay indoors.
Rosario departed silently, but with an expression of much concern.
She encountered Lord Alejandro without, who enquired of his wife.
She told him that she appears pale, and as though she had not slept
all the night before. He thanked her and noticed that she stared
searchingly at him. She caught herself, then retired to the kitchen,
leaving him with a pensive expression.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo: Supplement: 12/13/13: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Ahoy Amguis! This evening they showed a nice synopsis of what has happened with our TN so far. I have an earworm for Y'all. It's Monse's song for Ale, You Don't Own Me.
We start this synopsis with Don Benny (Benjamin) dying and begging the Padre, Anselmo that is, to go get the notary. He knows he hasn't much time left and would like to make a will.
JL (Jose Luis) and Monse (Montserrat) are having some time on the beach, their usual meeting place, bout talking to her Papa the Admiral. JL of course hasn't the avocadoes to speak with him. He's betting he'll be rejected! Here comes Sebas (Sebastian) and sees the whole thing. She explains she loves JL, Sebas is angry and tells her to just keep the ring. She'll probably have to sell it due to her family's moola problems.
Lauro, the Admiral, and his wife Gracie (Graciela), the Mama we love to hate, are arguing about Monse of course. Lauro doesn't want to see Monse sold for pasta, ya know money. Violetta, Sebas' Mama, calls Gracie to tell her the wedding is OFF! Gracie stalks to Monse's room and slaps the crap out of her, and tells her Sebas went back to England.

Weekend Discussion: Controversial Subjects
Tuesday's
capitulo of Lo Que La Vida Me Robó provoked over 100
comments regarding the marital rape scene that echoed Gone With
the Wind in many respects [GWTW's scene is still being
debated today]. This may not have been the ideal way for the
writers to handle the wedding night of our flawed but otherwise
sympathetic protagonists, but a lot of bytes are being seriously
inconvenienced in internet postings from viewers debating all the
same hypotheses and issues we raised on Wednesday morning.
Which –
por supuesto – is always good for ratings.
Several
other series have provoked discussion in the last few years over
other highly controversial actions and interactions:

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 18 - Maria and Juventino Create Some Really Bad Karma - Friday, December 13th, 2013
Hacienda
The man and the woman are have their heads together and are
speaking in low tones as though they do not want to be overheard. ‘Uncle’, she
says, and we are a bit surprised by her address; the man is looking at the
young woman with an intensity that would seem, well, unusual, for an uncle and
a niece.
His straw hat is pushed a bit back from his forehead as he
leans into her. He suggests that by working together they can help one another.
“Maria,” he says, “This woman is a problem.” He states it flatly. After seeming
to consider the situation, Maria tells her uncle to do as he wishes. Just make
sure that ‘that woman’ never comes back.
An older woman is quietly watching this conversation,
waiting to speak. She tells Maria that Alejandro is asking for her, can she
come now? Maria tears into the older, meek seeming woman. Maria told her that
she did not want to be interrupted, for anything! The older woman looks down
and walks away.
Morelia
In another location, at a café table in a rough cobbled
plaza, two men are eating and making plans. They are in Morelia, Mexico, it
seems. Montserrat’s mother tried to throw them off and they ended up here. The
good news is that the two of them are believed to be dead! The lean and
chiseled man, who is called Jose Luis, swigs a beer and says he is sorry, he
must go back to the town of Agua Azul and investigate the whereabouts of his
beloved Montserrat. The fair-haired man, Refugio, calls his friend crazy. Jose Luis
challenges Refugio, “You said you want to help? Go see Emeralda. She has
information about Dimitrio.” Refugio vehemently protests—he does not want to
see Esmeralda! Jose Luis, clearly the alpha male is this relationship, says
that his friend needs to see Esmeralda to get information, yes, but also
because Refugio is in love with her. Now they must be on their way.

Mentir Para Vivir #48 Thu 12/12/13 Hablar para Aburrir
Oriana and Lina get settled in their room. Lina likes Fidelia, but not as much as she likes her Granny. She hopes God left Tito at Granny's house and Granny brings him with her when she comes to visit. Ricardo calls Oriana and she tells him the house is great and his aunt's super nice and even asked Lina to call her "Tía." When Lina finds out it's Ricardo on the phone, she wants Oriana to ask him if God brought Tito back already. Ricardo asks to speak directly to Lina and tells her that Padre Plaid, who's way closer to God than any of them, because God works out at Padre Plaid's Gym of Penance regularly, said it will be a few days, but there's no estimated arrival date. Lina gives the phone back to Oriana and Ricardo lets her know that Fabiola's been checking in with the vet, but he hasn't been to see Tito himself yet, since he doesn’t want to lead the investigator that JL has tailing him to the vet's office. As soon as Ricardo can take care of a few things, he'll go visit.
Cesar visits his aunt, who asks him to come home already, and convince his stubborn mother to stay, too. Cesar says he'll try, but he likes it where he's at and he really doesn't want to deal with his mother. Fabiola says she'll stay and she's told her mother already.
Smoochy mushy talk from Ricardo and Oriana. They postpone the good stuff until Lina isn't around to listen.
Nadia announces the arrival of Ricardo, so Paloma bids Cesar and Fabiola farewell. She asks Fabiola to escort her brother to the executioner…digo, to his mother's room, so he can talk her into staying.

Corazon Indomable, Cap. 155, Thur. 12-12-13 -- A Mournful Maricruz Sits Stubbornly in Her Prison Cell
Short scenes are combined in an attempt to force some sense into this report from Planet Bizarro.
`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
. . . no, that won’t do, although much jabberwocky and wacky jabber is to be found in recent episodes of CI. Let’s look for another poetic reference to set the scene for our jailbird.
It's a hangin' day in Wolf City, Wyomin'
Wolf city, Wyomin', eighteen ninety four
They're gonna drop Cat Ballou
Through the gallows floor.
She killed a man in Wolf City, Wyomin'
. . . well, that’s not exactly right, either. We know MariCruz didn’t actually kill a man, but she’s determined to claim it.
Perhaps we’ll share a few lines from that famous prison epic, The Ballad of Reading Gaol:
The moaning wind went wandering round
The weeping prison-wall:
Till like a wheel of turning-steel
We felt the minutes crawl:
. . . We’ve certainly felt some minutes crawl with MC incarcerated. Let’s see how she does in today’s episode.
Seen Previously
Ed and Tav run into each other at the airport and catch up with Tav’s miserable life. He’ll wait for MariCruz to get out of prison.
Carola is sent to isolation as punishment for the knife wound scam she pulled on Maricruz. For some reason, she’s not happy with the situation.
Maria is at Don Ale’s former mansion, talking to the maid/caretaker with the cadaverous face and messy hair. She wants to find some of the family, but none of those names are known to the maid. (She looks like she would fit in with a family named Addams.)
There’s a Ray of Hope for Maricruz, If She Would Only Recognize It
Natasha visits MC in prison. (The guards probably haven’t seen this many visitors for one prisoner in a long time.) MC recalls what a ruckus Natasha caused with her painting career in the Rancho Abuelo neighborhood and asks (bingo!) “Que haces aqui?” Natasha is interested in MC and she knows who really killed Alfonso. She wonders why MC wants to be in prison?

Mentir Para Vivir #47 Wed 12/11/13 Tito the Thespian Treats us to more Dynamic Doggie Drama
Frog Park
JL returns to the scene of the crime and has decided he's going to
look for poor Tito. Who should he bump into? Leonardo!! JL give him some
bull about losing his daughter’s dog day before yesterday but he went away
on a trip and couldn't come look for the little beast, er, pet. It all
sounds kinda fishy to Leo. JL then asks if there are any predatory
animals in the area. Nothing but squirrels (ardillas) and badgers (tejónes)
replies Leo. JL wonders about Leo's dobie but Leo assures him dogs don't
eat other dogs- maybe the dog was found by someone or maybe he wandered off. JL
gives up and leave.

Corazon Indomable #154 The cameos just keep coming
YAHOO!!! My last recrap of Corazon Indomable ☺
MC's wailings finally illicit the appearance of the Glenda the Good Guard. Glenda asks MC where she heard that Lupita was dying. Well, it was Carola and Dominga, her new BFFs. Glenda tells her they lied to her, and MC has the same look on her face she had when she was told that Lucia was lying to her. No way. Why would they lie to her, and how could she not realize it?
Juanita calls the prison to try to at least talk to MC on the phone, but the answer is still no.
One Cell aka OC aka MC, still won't believe Glenda the Good Guard aka GGG is telling the truth. So GGG gives her a 'what for' talk. She tells her not to believe anything the mean girls tell her and to come to ask GGG if they do it again to see if it's true. OC then asks and I'll quote, "Why would they do that to me?" hahaha, OC kills me, it's like she's that salvaje from yesteryears all over again. I missed her.
Juanita runs home to tell Two Cell aka Octavio that MC is in solitary confinement.

Lo que la vida me robo Cap.17 Wed Dec 11th,2013 The girl fight, it is soooo on
Oooo someone needs to bring out the cages because tonight is the start of what is poised to be one hell of a cat fight, on one corner we have Maria, a country girl with bad hair accessories, I have a feeling this girl is not above playing dirty. In the other corner we have Montserrat, a spoiled girl who has never had to fight for anything because mommy and daddy always took care of her, she might seem fragile, and she is so tiny that a strong wind might carry her off, but don't count her out of this fight, she might be tiny but the girl has spunk and fire in her belly, and I think if it came down to it she'd cut someone, and do it while looking like she just came out of a fashion magazine, girl looks good!

Por siempre mi amor #7 12/10/13: Beware of Aunts Bearing Gifts
Quick Recap for Tuesday"s episode by J Desde NYC
Sucia (Sonia) is gonna move in with Art Dad and Aranza; Dafne is not a total hater. She says, in a caring way this time, that I did believe-good on that actress-that stepmothers can be witches like in storybooks and she knows from experience. Her father remarried and her stepmother is horrible.
Aranza is not taking her mother's death well. In the garden with Lucha and Gabino, she remembers gardening with her mother and is overcome with grief. She runs from the garden to the bathroom and starts bawling incessantly crying out for her mother and says she wants to die since she has no one. Lucha tries to console her through the bathroom door which Aranza won't open. Arturo gets Aranza to open the door by reminding her that he loves her and that she's the only one he has left in the world...(This was really heartbreaking and I hope Sucia's anvil for killing this child's mother will be strong. Aranza could have legitimately killed herself in her grief and sent Arturo over the edge.)

Corazon Indomable: In The Pits And Pounding Sand
Cap 153
As the gods in Telenovelaland often say, “be careful what you ask for cuz you just might get it!” Maricruz has gotten exactly what she asked for and more and I, for one, am all out of sympathy cards.
Carola plays the innocent victim to perfection and gets back-up from the crooked guard, Dominga. The warden, who prides himself on being soooo in the know with his prison and his inmates, apparently is not when it comes to the scam these two are running. He gives Maricruz three days in solitary. (Ehhh! Viewerville is so over la Estupida de Maricruz and the burro she rode in on! It cringes every time she opens her mouth. Where in the world is majestic miracle-maker de Maria Alejandra Mendoza? HMMMMM???? Has our Mendoza totally disappeared? Why-oh-why are the telenovela gods forcing us to make do with la mentecata de Maricruz Olivarez?)

Lo qué la vida me robó, cap. 16, Tuesday, December 10, 2013 -- Let's celebrate Human Rights Day with a sympathetic look at rape!
And I hate you too!
Montserrat wipes her mouth, disgusted at Alejandro's kiss. He is troubled by her icy reaction. He is, after all, not asking her to do anything she hasn't already done. She has done a great job making him believe she cared for him -- well let her bring on the acting now!
He pushes her down on the bed. If she hates him, he'll have to make do with that. And he hates her right back. Besides, hatred is a more intense emotion than love, isn't it?
He lies down on top of her, his chest bare. He presses his mouth on hers again. She turns her face away, her expression bleak. A tear stains her cheek. She is very still.
For Esme -- no Love, just Squalor
Esmeralda can't wait to give Refugio the good news: she knows where Montserrat is! But she is dismayed to find her apartment empty. Did he leave without her?
