Por siempre mi amor #16 12/25/2013: Art and Isa Heat Up; Sucia is Still a Lying Liar
Recap by J Desde NYC
Lo Refrito: Art asks Isa out on a date.
Lo Nuevo
Depa Isa
Totally unprofessional and should be fired Gema wakes up out of her drunken stupor in her boss's bed after defiling it with Dante. She has enough sense to check the safe to see if it's open and seeing it closed exclaims "At least nothing happened" (menos mal). Of course, she doesn't realize el ladron de Dante already robbed the safe while she was sleeping. Dante shows up and shows his romantic side as he brings in breakfast to spoil (consentir) his princesa--chilaques and juice to raise the dead. How sweet...NOT! Gema gets enough sense in between bites to tell Dante they shouldn't be fornicating in her boss's bed or drinking her boss's good liquor. Dante is all "while the cat's away the mice will play" and suggests that Gema even wear one of Isa's formal gowns since he's gonna take her out to dinner at a fancy place. And this is where I go "Have you learned nothing from Isa, Gema?" because this sounds like Dante is doing a Fernando where he robs a woman blind and then wines and dines her on the proceeds and makes out like a bandit. Gema thinks this is crazy but Dante distracts her by continuing to spoonfeed her.

Mentir Para Vivir #56 Wed 12/25/13 Feliz Navidad! There is no comfort and joy for Paloma’s family tonight.
No Hay Noche de Paz en la
Casa de Paloma
Fabi announces she plans to marry Piero. Matilde quickly
asks about his family connections. Paloma sarcastically says he's from
the Windsor family and Matilde doesn't pick up on the joke. When it's
made clear to her, she's angry with Paloma for making a joke at a time like
this. (I don't like Maddie but I have to agree with her here). She
insists on knowing about his family and what type of person he is (again, I
agree). Cesar stands up for Piero but she still asks how is she to know
he isn’t just after the money Paloma will eventually leave Fabi. (good
point) She's her mother and has a right to know. Paloma is angry,
saying what she's doing isn't just to find out information, she's just wasting
time (enchinchar) and besides didn't
she say she'd rather see her marry the first guy who crosses the street than to
see her as an single mother? Maddie defends her actions, insisting that
was just a figure of speech (first guy
who crosses the street). Of course she wouldn’t want just anyone to marry her daughter, much less
an opportunist (vividor).
Paloma defends Piero, saying she's known him a long time and he's a good
guy. Well, if he's such a good guy, asks Maddie, why doesn't he come himself to
speak to her? She insists they call him, now. Mariano (sans plaid shirt) suggests that Fabi and Piero have a
discussion and decide what to do. Ruben butts in too, saying that as the
head of this family he should be the one speaking with Piero. Maddie
scoffs at him--saying he's nobody. Paloma tells her to shut it and
consider what she's done to her family. Her husband and son have left the
home because they can't stand her and now Fabi is prepared to marry the first
guy who proposes just so she doesn't have to marry that ne'er do well, Seba!
Maddie insists this has to do with her
family. Mariano reminds her that a family doesn't consist of just one
person. A family involves a father, mother, and children. Even if
Maddies doesn't like it, Fabi has the final say in this case. Whoa, now
Maddie calls her own daughter a floosie (cualquiera).
Ruben jumps in to defend his daughter. There's no reason for Maddie to insult
their daughter in front of everyone. Maddie insists she has every right,
"I'm her mother!" "And I'm her father" shouts Ruben.
M--"A father who ran out to go live with a whore (ramera)! And I want a
divorce!"R--"Suits me just fine!" Paloma steps in,"Fine,
get a divorce, but stop arguing in front of everyone." Mariano
quietly suggests they each speak with Fabi and Piero separately. Maddie insists
she'll be the one talking to them. Alina chooses the wrong moment to come
in and say she and Tito are bored waiting in the bedroom. Maddie
shouts at her for interrupting. Oriana defends her daughter, telling
Maddie this will be the last time she raises her voice to Alina, clear?
Maddie doesn't' respond but has a smug look on her face. Ori takes
Alina to the other room. Paloma asks Cesar, Fabi, Ruben, and Mariano to
join her in her bedroom. She tells Matilde she can just to hell. Maddie whines
that no one understands her -- she's the mother! The scene ends with a
close up of a Madonna-like painting of a woman with three babies. (haha,
they blurred out the bum of one of the babies)

Mentir Para Vivir #55 Tue 12/24/13 Two Hookers Own the Casa Bonita Brothel and Occupancy is Still at an All Time Low? What's Up With That?
Down by the seashore, Piero asks Fabiola if she will
consider marrying him. He’s on the
rebound and wants a sweet young thang
in his life and since she’s gotta a biscuit in the oven who needs a daddy….he
thinks that they might be able to help each other out. For her birthday, he gives her a small box
from Tiffany’s, hinting that there’s more where that came from. I’ll be your J. Howard Marshall or Howard K
Stern (whichever you prefer) and you can be my Anna Nicole Smith. He tells her that he loves her and hopes that
she might eventually come to love him too.
Piero leaves her at the beach with a lot to think about it.

Por siempre mi amor #15 12/23/13: Two Bitch Slaps, An Assault and A Robbery - or- the Baddies Step It Up
Hello everyone! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! Let's get right to it:
The Leftovers:
While Gema is passed out on the bed Dante tries to open the safe in Isabel's closet.
Osvaldo has presented Aranza with chocolates and Tita with flowers before heading to the movies. Is this guy dapper or what?
Gabi tells Nicholas and Bruno how successful she and Isabel have been with their interior design firm. They've won some international awards! You go girls!
The Main Course:
Arturo is trying to talk to Isabel. "Are you upset?"
"No. I have no reason to be upset with you. You're a free man."
"Isabel, Sonia's not supposed to be here. She thought there might something between us. But there isn't. Sonia made up everything she told you about me."
Isabel isn't buying it. "Yeah. Sure. Stop lying to me. I have enough problems of my own, I don't need to deal with yours too." Isabel turns her back on Arturo. He leaves in frustration.
At Casa Arte, Tere brings Andrea a big bouquet of flowers. She can't believe it, "For me??" Andrea opens the card and her smile turns to shock.
"What? What's wrong?"
Andrea hands the note to Tere who reads it aloud, "To my faithful wife who will never forget me." It's from that bastard Fernando. How is this even possible?"

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #24 & 25, 12/23/2013
Capitulo 24 (by Gloria)
Loreto tells Pervie Juvie that Pedro wants Ale dead. In exchange he can keep the hacienda. Pervie Juvie likes the idea and decides to keep Montse too.
Rosario comes to pay a visit to Padre A. She apologizes for the late visit but needs to talk to him. Montse sent her with a letter to give the new capataz and insisted that Ale not find out. After the capataz read the letter he became nervous and insisted that she inform Montse he had to see her. He didn't even say “Senora” or “La Patrona” but called her by her name instead. Does that mean that there is something between them? What is going on? Nothing is insists the Padre. If she tells me to do something, I must obey. Yet I know I am going against my own son. The Padre again insists there is nothing going on, but Rosario keeps insisting. I can't, it was told to me in confession.
Josefina is looking at her wedding dress and can't believe that she will be getting married tomorrow.
At the strip club, Adolfo is giving Dim a bachelor’s party paid for I’m sure from Josefina's purse. He tells the men with them to make sure they dress real nice for the part tomorrow. Where's my money asks one of the men. Adolfo says they'll get it when the job is done. Dim wants to know where the more experienced girls are? Adolfo complains to management that they are not getting the VIP treatment. The current girls are just not bringing it. Where are the more experienced ones? Management says they are currently busy and tries to walk away. Adolfo offers money, but management says that another more important client has the more experienced girls. We see the good girls dancing for drooling Pervie Juvie and Pedro. Pervie can't believe that when Loreto suggested meeting the police captain, it would be at a place like this. Loreto says this is how the captain treats his loyal employees. And you are starting to be one of them. That is of course if you do the job that Loreto brought you in for replies Pedro. Consider it done replies Pervie Juvie. Loreto tells Pervie Juvie to pick a girl. He points to Esme. Loreto says she belongs only to the captain and gets him another one. Esme is sitting on Pedro's lap drinking it up as Adolfo spies into the private room.

Manuel "Flaco" Ibanez as Don Jesus "Chuy" Menchaca as the Patriarch of the poor family.

Ingrid Martz as Minerva Fontanent Blanco. She's back! I bet she isn't so blanco don't you? She is the girlfriend of Mark Tacher above.

Mentir Para Vivir #54 Mon 12/23/13 The Fabulous Foursome interrupted by a busy body
The old:
Homero Poirot de la Garza started his investigation of the many secrets of the Aresti-Bretton
& Friends gang.
Homero: “Why
do you need all the guards?”
Fidelia: “To protect
my porcelain dolls collection. There are a lot of robberies in the area.”
Homero: “Yeah…
Do you think I’m stupid? You don’t look like a woman with a doll collection. You
look like a bad liar. Are you hiding from Francisco Castro or Jose Luis Falcon?”
(Or the narcotraficantes? They are very in
demand these days, they should be involved in every telenovela).
The new:
Paloma asks Homero to butt out; does he plan to take everything that she loves
away from her? No, he explains, that’s not what he wants, he intends to help.
But Paloma can’t take his help in her fragile state, she starts to faint, so
everyone scolds Homero for bothering her – doesn’t he know she’s a sick woman?
Leo and Ric are especially firm and Homero tries to defend
himself by saying that he wasn’t aware of how serious her condition was. (How could
he if 5 minutes after he showed up, he started using his magnifying glass in
search of detective clues?).
He thinks Ric and Leo are a par of imbeciles - pair of imbeciles (Ric’s face is priceless when
he hears this, but he takes it like a bog boy); don’t they realize they could
all be in grave danger? And things will only get worse if they don’t decide to
talk. Ric should especially consider this, since he says he loves Ines so much.
He leaves to search for a hotel room (what, Fidelia
is at full capacity?) and Leo urges Ric to tell Homero the entire story,
because Abuelo already knows a lot of bits and pieces.

Corazon Indomable, 12/22/2013: EL GRAN FINAL!!!!
Well, Amigos. This long and winding journey we have been on, called Corazon Indomable, has finally come to an end. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so I won't waste time here sharing my thoughts, but I would like to thank my fantastic group of co-recappers, and the amazing group of commenters that shared this adventure with us. This final recap is a joint effort. Cece has recapped the first half, I have done the second half, and SURPRISE!, Carlos has provided some of his signature screencaps and captions. Enjoy!

Part 1 (By Cece): Stumbling Our Way to El Gran Final CI Style
Everything has been said in the past recaps this week. I would just like to add that it has been a wonderful experience albeit my first time recapping. I appreciate all the kind words and wonderful comments. You all definitely made this TN somewhat durable ;). As to my fellow recappers, you are a talented bunch… that I aspire to write like someday. I would be the first person on the patio if you all got together and wrote a TN (I am also sure it would be better than half the stuff Televisa comes up with!). It’s been fun!!

Fri. 12/20/13 Corazón Indomable ♡ All About Elsa ♡
Well, all good things must come to an end... fortunately, so must all dreadful things as well. I present you with a recounting of of the penultimate episode of Corazón Indomable. For a brief time there it looked as though my luck had run out and I would be struggling with the final 2 hr. episode, but thanks to an emergency unexpected telethon on Univision last Friday, that episode was postponed until Sunday and fortunately for us, Vivi and CeCe will be doing the honors. The first paragraph of this recap covers a short period of time that preceded tonight's episode that was presented on Univision. It was the beginning of capitulo 160 which I discovered on line and I already had the paragraph written and hate to waste effort so I left it in. I hope you don't mind a bit of repetition.
Maricruz is sitting at the foot of Elsa's bed chatting with Elsa. Elsa, still not aware that Alfonso is dead is trying to recruit Maricruz's assistance in returning the deceased one to her. She's clearly in the wrong telenovela. She needs to be over at Mentir Para Vivir where resurrection of the dead is a rather common occurrence. Perhaps Maricruz could put in a call to Padre Plaid. Because Maricruz is a practicing idiot, she agrees to help Elsa find Alfonso. Should be easy enough but not with quite the result that Elsa is hoping for.
Here is where tonight's TV presentation actually begins.
Liz arrives at Alvaro's place in her little red car and parks it at the curb. Skankery must pay fairly well as it's a rather nice car, and her too tight, too short, maroon dress and spike heels all look to be expensive... if a bit slutty. She rings the bell at the gate and thought bubbles about a moment of vengeance against two people, especially Alvaro. She is soon admitted by a housekeeper and led to the big house. Looks like her other target is Maricruz since she seems to be glad that Maricruz is there. She tells her that she is here to visit Elsa. Maricruz says sure and lets her pass.
Wearing a tee shirt and children's pajama bottoms with little teddy bears imprinted on them (at first I thought it was Hello Kitty PJs), Elsa seems happy to have a visitor. She's busy brushing her hair and admiring her image in the mirror as Liz walks in.
"¡Hola Liz!"

Lo que la vida me robo, #23, 12/20/13: A tale of two deluded men
Lo que la vida me robo, Cap 23, 12-20-13—A tale of two deluded men
SCENES MAY BE CONDENSED TO PRESERVE MY SANITY:
We start with J-L and Ale in the stables. Ale invites his new capataz to lunch. J-L is all okay! J-L wants Juventino to take care of the horses—Juvie-dude thinks that Refugio, being J-L's "boy," can do it. J-L says, "I asked you." Sullen smirks all around. Juvie-dude sweeps dirt on Refugio's shoes.
Then we go to the middle of Padre's and Montse's conversation about J-L being the capataz. No, he won't leave! She won't go with him, but the deluded dude won't take the hint!
Rosario is fixing food for the dinner, and when Maria finds out that it's following the instructions of Monste, and they're to have pork, Maria is as nasty as possible, says that this is HER kitchen, that Montse is not the boss of anything (only Ale is the boss), scatters the food that Rosario was preparing on the ground, and yells at her to get out. What a bruja!

Mentir Para Vivir #53 Fri 12/20/13 Tito’s Grand Return Comes At A High Price
[MENTIR BEGINS AT 7 PM EASTERN TONIGHT! --ED.]
capítulo 53
Lo Del Pasado:
Homero, Leo and Ricardo have just been shot at and Grandpa Spooks lets Ric know that he’s well aware of quite a bit of what’s been going on with him and the Aresti family. It’s just a matter of fitting all the pieces correctly to put that puzzle together. Being shot at is not something Homero would consider a normal sort of familial problem, he has insisted. Therefore, since he knew Gabe, he’s told Ric if Ric needs his assistance he’s there to help out. Ric isn’t sure that he can trust the man. Viewerville isn’t either cuz El Grandpa Spooks de Homero has just put in a call to Manolo.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Manolo informs Spooks where he can find the old owners of El Descanso at the time of Gabe’s murder, namely, Lucina.
Leo tries to assure Ric on his way out of Spook Manor that his gramps is really a fair guy and that he can be counted on. Ric still refuses to let Leo come to the beach house with Tito, preferring to keep things on the Q.T. as much as possible since others are following him and obviously mean to kill him. Leo asks who, but Ric keeps mum and leaves.

Por siempre mi amor #14 12/20/13: I'm On A Boat (Ft Sonia the Pain)
"¡Caigamos en la oración!" count: 6
Lo Refrito
Read more »
Lo Refrito
- Andrea frets and prays for the safety of her children.
- Dante frets calls Gonzo looking for the combination to the safe.
- Isa frets and cries about "the kiss." Gaby pep talks.
- Fernando frets and curses Isa.
- Arturo frets and talks to Eugenia
Lo Nuevo
En la vecindad de Andrea
Andrea walks Esteban to the bus stop and warns him about talking to strangers. She instructs him to not leave school until Agata arrives. Her spaz fit does not go unnoticed by the ever astute Esteban.
El Reclusorio
F-no praises Gonzo for his work threatening Andrea and tells him to keep it up. Gonzo whines that following her around is costing him money. He tells F-no that Dante has found the safe and needs the combination. F-no wonders how he found it, so Gonzo mentions Gema. F-no smiles like a sleaze and notes that Gema is más facil que la tabla de cero (a cinch--with all credit to Kathy. ) Gonzalo agrees with that assessment. F-no goes on to say Gema is más bueno que el pan (which according to WordReference means she's kindness itself or the salt of the earth. Somehow I don't think F-no means it that way.) F-no is not going to give Gonza the combination and wants to know where Isa could be. Gonzo assumes she's on vacation. F-no figures she's already changed the combination so there's not point in giving Gonzo and Dante the combination. Gonzo figures Dante will just take advantage of his "stay" at Isa's. How do you like them apples, F-no?

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 22 - 11/19/2013 - Reveals, Obsessions, Arguments and Confessions
High Stakes Game At
the Dinner Table
Outside the dining room the woman looks up at the man, smug,
self-satisfied. She is somewhat older than the handsome man to whom she speaks,
but she tosses her head and beam at him with a look that is a parody of the
coquette she may once have been. She is more practiced than he at the social
dance that conceals fear and hatred.
He, Alejandro Almonte, is less urbane, less polished than the
woman. Still—he understands she is playing a game; a game she intends to win.
She is his mother-in-law, Graciela, but there is no love lost between these
two. That much is clear.
Graciela –“ If you tell anyone my secret you will be
responsible for killing the Admiral. Consider well, you have more to lose than
I do.”
Alejandro – “What game are you playing at? I am not going to
kill your husband.”
Graciela – “If you tell my husband this news, he will have a
heart attack. It will be your fault. Your fault. She punctuates each word with
her index finger. “You will be responsible for his death
and my daughter Montserrat will hate you even more than she does now.”
The son-in-law, Alejandro, seems almost incredulous at the
woman’s audacity. His face is still as she takes his arm and cozily leads him
into the dining room. They sit down with
the waiting others: the stunning young bride Montserrat, her Aunt Carlota and
Graciela’s husband, Admiral Lauro Mendoza.
The dinner conversation wanders down familiar paths; the
delicious meal prepared by Tia Carlota, and the Admiral’s fond hope that the
newlyweds will soon give him a grandchild. Alejandro covers his wife’s hand
with his own as he assures the family that there is nothing he would like more
than to make a family with his wife, Montserrat.
But now the conversation takes a different turn, set up by
an innocent question from the kindly Aunt. Why, she asks, did Alejandro’s
father never marry?

Corazon Indomable, # 159, Thur. 12-19-13. Move Along Folks, Nothing to See Here, Just a Minor Scrape or Two.
Gentle Readers, I take pen keyboard in hand to bid you farewell. This ends the only May-December romance in my life. I fell in love with the concept and cast of CI last May and offered to recap when CarayCaray was in dire need of CI staff. I trembled on the brink of my first attempt at this noble art. I continued to tremble as each Thursday rolled around and my family learned to leave me, the TV, and the computer strictly alone. I fear disenchantment set in once MariCruz achieved her venganza and CI hit the skids. Now we’re in December, at the end of a relationship gone sour. I loved MC and her journey; I only regret the writing/producing team had their own little venganza with us viewers. MariCruz was a bright and courageous spirit who deserved better from her creators. I gave her what I could.
Just a note to Gringo, flag bearer for the CI defenders. To me, a recapper’s duty is to provide a summary of the episode plus any extra entertainment that occurs to a creative mind. This added “wit” may not suit everyone, since tastes vary. I remember other TNs that fell apart and were sideswiped or even trashed in the commentary. One example was Corazon Salvaje 2009, which was “savagely” criticized in comparison to the 1993 version. I hadn’t seen the earlier version, so I happily followed the newer one when it moved to a midnight time slot. In contrast, I dropped out of regularly watching other TNs, such as La Fuerza del Destino, Abismo de Pasion, and even Que Bonito Amor. I’m very grateful to all CarayCaray recappers and commenters for sharing an array of opinions.
This episode follows MariCruz and Octavio on their separate journeys: Tav with Doris, MC with Alvaro’s family. Many short scenes have been combined so the channel isn’t constantly flipping back and forth.
How Were We to Know?
When life on the ranchos took a strange turn, Alvaro appeared as a suitor for MC and Natasha appeared as a general romantic interest and troublemaker. We thought they were a passing fancy, but little did we know they would be with us to the end. Alvaro’s teenage daughter and MC end up damaged by the same egotistical artist, while Natasha plays a role in freeing MC from the “peace” of her prison cell. I don’t know why this was necessary, unless we’re unwitting dupes helping to promote Goyri’s new banda release. Or, maybe he just wants to be a nice guy for a change.
