Por siempre mi amor #18 12/27/13: Farmer Sonia and Farmer Minerva Sow the Seeds of Distrust and Hate
Caigamos en oración count: 11 (Though not a one was uttered tonight.)
El Refrito
Read more »
El Refrito
- Tita ruminates in an empty closet.
- Edgar and Mau accompany Andrea a la delegación to press charges agains Feo.
- Tita notes a new gleam in Bruno's eyes. He confesses he's falling in love.
- Arturo arrives at Aranza's school. He spends the rest of the episode ignoring the counselor's advice that he find professional help for his daughter.
Lo Nuevo
Some scenes are, as always, combined and condensed.
Sonia arrives at Gilberto's house. Surprisingly she does not ask for money (even Gilberto was shocked) and she forgets to ask about the lawyer for Feo. Gilberto totally has Sonia's number. He was glad that she was in the hospital for a virus and not some accident or because she had meterse en un lío (got herself in a spot of trouble.) Gilberto informs her (and Viewerville) that her brother is doing fine at boarding school (or are they step siblings? And he gets mentioned enough that I think we will eventually meet him.)
Arturo and Dafne's mamá diabla (nombre de Belinda de Quintana) leave the school. I don't like the kind of starving hungry looks she's giving Arturo. When Arturo and Aranza arrive home he tries to talk to her and she gives him the silent treatment. He asks what's going on. He knows that it's hard since her mother died, but he wants to help and for her to go back to being the good girl she once was (*cough*therapyyoudunce*cough*.) Aranza tells him she doesn't trust him and that he and everyone in the house are lying liars who lie. He went on that trip because he doesn't love her and Tita and Lucha are telling lies about Tía Sonia. Arturo is all "whoa, chica!" Sonia is the lying liar who's lying and he's not going to let her talk to him like that. She is not to forget that he is her father...and she tells him that he's the one that needs to remember he's her father (*cough*therapyyoudunce*cough*.) She flounces into the house and treats Lucha like crap. Arturo informs Lucha that Aranza is grounded. He heads to his study.

Weekend Discussion: New Stars? New Stories? Or Both?
I've been seeing posts over the last
year or so about “We need new young stars” and we've had
discussions in the past about developing new stories for our maturing
favorites. I don't see this as an either/or, but perhaps as being a
dual issue.
Televisa stopped producing stories
directed at teens due to lowered ratings a few years ago. I'd
personally love to know whether that was because of outdated story
types or declining attention spans among teens, which is a subject
that comes up all the time and is probably a worldwide problem. At the same time we've discussed how
remaking the same stories again and again is both lazy production and
evidence of risk-adversity.
There are some changes happening now,
as we see with Mentir Para Vivir and Por Siempre
Mi Amor, whose lead characters are a little more mature than
usual. They start out with spouses, children, other family members,
and more secrets than usual. Their lives are already complicated
before the curtain goes up on the opening episode. We are seeing
more teens and more children in these stories; I suspect that this is
to provide employment for the child and teen actors that would have
been in the teen and kid programs that aren't being produced. It's
one of the reasons that many series are now longer than they would have been fifteen years ago.
I'm not a kid anymore myself and it
sickens me that the entertainment industry already targets youth
often at the expense of adults who have more discretionary income to
attend movies and spend money on cars advertised on TV. We all want
to see ourselves in television characters and we want to see something that's realistic. What we don't want is a
world where someone's acting career is over because they're over 35 and
overexposed (in the sense of being hyped) young stars with minimal
experience and less talent.
Sound off, amigos.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulos 28 + 29, 12/26/13 - All Roads Lead To Hacienda Almonte
All Roads Lead To
Hacienda Almonte
Cast of characters at
or arriving at Hacienda Almonte and their current motivations
The Rich Bastard - Alejandro
Handsome and conflicted Alejandro, nouveau riche bastard
that he is, has been channeling his inner beast—again. After purchasing Montserrat by paying her family debts, he takes her to his isolated
hacienda and treats her as though she was a piece of chattel. Although he
‘loves’ Montserrat, he tends to treat her very harshly. Recently he reminded
Montserrat that she was all HIS, and that he would never give her a divorce.
The Poor Wife - Montserrat
Montserrat is a confused, very confused young woman.
Recently, after listening to her gossipy Aunt Carlota, she made a nearly
impossible cognitive leap to the idea that Alejandro has been lying to her—about
everything. He is AGAIN perceived by Montserrat to be a murderer and the person
who framed her ex-lover Jose Luis. She has a strong moral belief that lying is
WRONG. Montserrat herself is suffering from a small problem with hypocrisy—she
is lying through her teeth about the identity and role of her ex-novio Jose
Luis/Antonio on the estate.
The Ex-Novio – Jose
Luis/Antonio
JL/Antonio is on the estate under false pretenses—he is
playing at being the new Hacienda manager and his inexperience is beginning to
show. He is still trying to get Montserrat to run away with him but his
incompetence as an estate manager has attracted the attention of the evil and
beautiful housekeeper, Maria. He was also just spotted— swimming naked in the
local river—by a mysterious, young blond artiste.
The Evil Housekeeper -
Maria
Beautiful Maria is suspicious of ‘Antonio’ and his
connection with her enemy and rival for Alejandro’s affection, Montserrat. She
conspired with her evil uncle Juventino to get rid of Montserrat, but her uncle
is double crossing her. He wants to kill Alejandro, take the estate and
Montserrat for his wife.
The Navy Captain
Alejandro has invited the Navy Captain and old family friend
of the Mendoza family, Capitan Robledo, to the Hacienda for dinner. Capitan
Robledo is hunting for JL/Antonio and his companion Refugio Solares/Renato
Garcia as escaped fugitives. They are AWOL from the Navy and on the run for
murdering a Navy Lieutenant.
The Man of Business
and the Pole Dancer – Victor and Esmeralda
Alejandro has called his friend Victor, former business
manager of the Hacienda but now employed as manager of Alejandro’s ‘town’
enterprises, to complete two tasks. Bring Esmeralda the pole dancer to the
estate for the weekend for the purpose of getting her to speak to Montserrat;
and to befriend young Nadia, wife of the corrupt town Mayor Pedro Medina, to
discover why the mayor is so interested acquiring a certain piece of land from
Alejandro. Victor’s first awkward efforts to befriend Nadia ended with her
throwing a glass of wine in his face.
The Poor Wife’s Best
Friend
Nadia Medina has defied her husband to make a trip out to
Hacienda to spend some time with her best friend Montserrat. She does not
expect to meet Victor there, or to see Esmeralda, the woman she suspects of
being her husband Pedro’s lover.
Introducing a New
Family – The Archigas
Joaquin Archiga, former good friend of Alejandro’s deceased
father Don Benjamin, has returned with his wife and two daughters—Angelica
and Virginia—to the rancho neighboring Hacienda Almonte. Archiga’s older
daughter, Angelica, is the young blond artiste who caught Jl/Antonio swimming
naked in a river as she was out drawing. She also made an excellent (naked)
likeness of JL/Antonio. Angelica’s mother worries about her daughter’s health.
The Good Priest and
Rosario
Father Anselmo tries to convince everyone at Hacienda
Almonte to do the right thing. Rosario, who is secretly Alejandro’s mother, is
his friend and the ally of both Montserrat and Alejandro.
In The Campeche
Countryside at Hacienda Almonte
Alejandro is up and about with a sling on his arm and a limp
in his step after the recent failed attempt on his life. Maria is there to fuss
over him and get him seated. Montserrat watches this and walks away while Maria
imposes herself in the place of Alejandro’s wife.
Montse goes to the kitchen but Ale does not want Maria’s
company. He wants his wife and orders Maria to go fetch her. Maria finds
Montserrat and sullenly tells her that Ale wants to see her. Rosario is in the
kitchen as well, and as soon as Montserrat is out of earshot, Maria begins to
abuse the older house worker, but Rosario informs her that Dominga told her to
keep an eye on what was cooking on the stove—does Maria want to take over that
task for her? When snotty Maria answers “No,” then newly spunky Rosario tells
her to get out of her way in the kitchen! Score one for good Rosario, but Maria
mutters the general threat in Rosario’s direction, “One day…”

Mentir Para Vivir #57 Thu 12/26/13 Comer para Festejar
At the rooftop bar of Francisco's hotel, Sebastian meets with Francisco, who calls him an idiot for arguing with Leonardo in front of his godfather. Francisco still wants him to act like a decent human being, and clearly, fighting with the figurehead president's godson isn't the way to do it. As Sebastian goes to the potty and asks Antonio and Francisco to order him another drink, Francisco comments to Antonio that they've made a mistake with him. Antonio agrees, but says he now knows too much for them to be able to fire him. Antonio has the accountant on the hook, but he won't tell him what the business is really about until he's got a fat check in front of him. He doesn't think Escalona will back out, though, because he's got money problems. As for Sebastian, it would be difficult to get rid of him. Ricardo would get upset. It's Sebastian who hates Ricardo, but Ricardo doesn't feel the same way. As far as Leonardo goes, Antonio has found out relatively nothing, except that the armored car didn't come from Hermosillo. He has no idea who Leo's grandfather is and he figures only Ricardo or Inésiana could tell him.
Maria's memorial mass is being said. Everyone looks sad.
Leonardo tells Homero that Sebastian is nuts and the only reason he didn't put him in his place is that his godfather was there. He's found out that the investors are Caribbean Investments Company, but that Francisco Castro only set up the partnership--he doesn't have a position in the company. Homero says that was smart of him. As president of the company, it's Trejo Bonfil who will be going down for any shady business. He doesn't think there's anything to warn him about yet--they have no proof that CIC is going to be using the company to launder money. They'll have to wait.

Por siempre mi amor #17 12/26/13: A Romance Blossoms, Another Romance is Blooming, One More Schoolyard Brawl and Gema is Still Easy
Good evening, and Happy Holidays to all.
Ayer- Tita is not happy that Sucia picked Aranza up from school, when she has been caring for Aranza in her father’s absence. Aranza says that Sucia called Lucha but Tita let’s Aranza know that is not the way that you do things. Aranza calls Tita and Lucha liars, says that Sonia didn’t cause a ruckus at the beach, she was hospitalized, she is not crazy and has the IV marks to prove it. She was not with her father and they want to keep Sucia and Aranza apart. Tita is done and can’t believe how Aranza is speaking to her (neither can I, if I spoke like that to any adult as a child I would have found either myself or my teeth on the floor) and tells Aranza, that she doesn’t lie; if she doesn’t believe her, ask her grandfather or father, what really happened.
Art explains to Isa, his relationship with Sucia and how manipulative Sucia is. Art is appreciative of Sucia’s “love” for Aranza but he doesn’t want Aranza to be used in Sucia’s little game. Art let Sucia know that under no certain terms was he ever interested in her and she left on the first flight this morning. Isa confesses that she is a little scared becaseu they seem to be moving fast. She can’t believe that she was so in love with Feo and no she feels something stronger for him. He liked the- something stronger piece. Art says, - let’s give us a chance. They kiss and the sparklers light up the beach.

Lo que la vida me robo #26 & 27 12/25/13: A tale of misunderstandings and wasted wine
Update: I've now watched the episode and the recap is down below, I can't go into much detail with it beause it's a super long episode but I hope to cover everything so that no one is lost when watching tonight's episode, I'm going to group scenes together in order to make things faster for myself. Enjoy!
Santa, please give Montse a brain....a working brain
Okay, I know that's a lot to ask for but I had to try! Montse, after talking to Carlota and finding out that her husband went to visit her mother a few days before she and Alejandro went back to Agua Azul for a visit jumps to all sorts of crazy conclusions. She now believes that Alejandro forced her mother to make up a story about Dimibrow killing Gamboa, and that Alejandro really was behind all the bad things that happened to Jose Luis. She cries and says that she will never be able to forgive Alejandro for what he has done, she hates him.

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.

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!
