Que Pobres tan Ricos # 20 31 Jan 2014 Nepo looking forward to his date with Lupe, but at fonda, the sh... has hit the f..... Salvese quien pueda!! (TAKE COVER!!!)
A-hole/Mini argue about he wants a baby RIGHT NOW! And she is not anxiously anticipating that.
Emi and Grandma Mati were playing dominos, he keeps losing, ‘gambling debts are honor debts’. Tizoc calls him to go do homework. Emi leaves. Leo comes in dramatically (OMG!!! You would not believe the trauma I just went through! I got mugged!!) Tizoc undermines his experience. Leo says he was about to be bleeding to death. Then he undermines the barrio/neighborhood. Tizoc says if you know how to defend yourself nothing would happen to you around here. Leo says if you mean being a boxer or gorilla, that is far from my idea of a man. ‘my friend’. Tizoc begins rapping to him with sound effects. From now on you are my friend. Leo is nodding in rhythm… You are Leonardo el princeso!! (the prince). Leo does not appreciate the joke. And calls Tizoc naco. Grandma Mati enjoys the show. Laughs her butt off.
Back to Cabo San Lucas. She is trying to convince him to tune it down a couple notches (like Frida told her mom a while back). He reluctantly tells her about the grandpa clause. ‘el primer nieto que tenga un hijo en legitimo matrimonio’ and I plan to be the heir of the RP empire, to share with you ‘chiquita’. She says you should have told me earlier. Then she is biting her teeth as he continues reassuring her she will be pregnanty by the end of the honeymoon.

AVISO: Some scenes are combined.
Little Miguel has passed away. Isa is inconsolable.

Ara cries on Este's shoulder. Ara says Isa and her father were so excited about the baby, but now it's a nightmare.
Mari and Tassels argue about the stolen goods she was unwittingly selling. He could have gotten her in a real mess. Tassels swears it will never happen again. Mari will not trust him anymore. He betrayed her.

Weekend Discussion: Controlling Mothers, Part II
Maternal Monsters, Part II
There are way more of these than
perhaps any other female villain because they can play so many cards
in the game of control. Guilt, money, religion; even sex isn't
exempt from their repertoire in their attempts to control their teen or
adult children. I was hoping to compile another Dirty Dozen, but
some of these are so spectacularly evil it just couldn't wait.
Please provide any more details if you can.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo - Capitulo 58—Aftermath of a Funeral
“What we have got here is failure to communicate.”
Cool
Hand Luke - 1967
Editorial By Elna june
There has been much discussion in the last few days about
the nature and character of certain of our players in ‘Lo Que La Vida Me Robo’.
I say that what we have got here is a failure to communicate. And I stand by my
statement—Let me explain.
The writers in this telenovela have, by and large, done a
great job. The acting, production values and dialogue are first rate, and the
pace sometimes makes me feel like I am watching a telenovela directed by Paul
Greengrass.
What we, as faithful watchers of “Robo’ need to have communicated to us now is
character development, especially of the protagonist, Alejandro Almonte. In the
last few days, culminating with the terrible death of Lauro Mendoza, I find
that I have completely ceased to care about the anti-galan Alejandro. I am no longer angry with him, as I was at
times earlier in our story, I am, quite simply, BORED with his character.
And a bored viewer cannot be a good thing, my friends. If
the writers have taken a darker direction with this telenovela protagonist,
such as we have seen in recent American primetime dramas with Tony Soprano in
“The Sopranos” and Walter White in “Breaking Bad”, or, in more classical
theatre with Shakespeare in “Macbeth”, then we viewers can know that we are
watching, fascinated, as the proverbial train wrecks. Let Ale go to the devil and serve us up some new options for Montserrat. She can practice being a single mother—that storyline has many interesting possibilities.
The tension created by Alejandro Almonte’s cruel actions has
left us viewers in a state of cognitive dissonance that is downright uncomfortable. Why is he behaving like such a jerk? We
choose up tables, we look for hidden clues in his dialogue and personal history, we try to cling to
Alejandro’s ‘right to be angry’ as a reason for his cruel actions and words. But so far his story rings hollow and his personality unlikeable.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #19-1/30/14 : AS Has a Very Bad Hair Day and Other Follies
Hola Amiguis! This capitulo was a tough one with all the slang and speed. This recap will not be in order and please let me know what I got wrong. I am still learning Y'all as you are : )
JT and Frida are still having their little chat. He even invites her to come hear his band sometime, but I don't think she wants to venture into the neighborhood. He imitates her "fresa speak".
AS is wearing that lovely, er, hideous scarf and Granny Mati hands her a mirror so she can see how loverly she looks, Not! AS is just abhorred! Leo remarks she needs a hat (in English) then says in Spanish it is a sombrero. Lupe serves Granny Mati some chicken soup, ya know they just gently killed that chicken. MA is going to show off his waiter talents he learned in Londres. He is going to serve his family. Lupe tells AS all about the neighborhood hairdresser, ya know, Guendy, but AS doesn't trust anyone from the 'hood to be touching her curly locks.
MA serves his family, that would be AS and Leo, Frida is still off talking to JT. MA serves and says basically here ya go MiLady and MiLord, things he learned in Londres, with a towel over his arm and the tray over the same arm, think Moseley in Downton Abby. Don Chuy thinks that's a hoot. MA even says he will serve Don Chuy and it will be an honor.

Mentir Para Vivir #81 Thu 1/30/14 Acusar para Arruinar
Fidelia gives Marilu a hard time, asking if she's still drunk from last night, but Inésiana is more than willing to get down on her knees, if that's what it takes to get her daughter back. Fidelia stops her from doing it and threatens to tell the judge that Marilu is a drunk. Marilu says that she's got plenty of things to tell the judge herself. Fidelia tells Inésiana that she has no idea what happened to Marilu and wonders if someone can really go crazy from one day to the next.
Once Inésiana is gone, Fidelia calls Ric to report on Marilu. She's worried that if Marilu doesn't get what she wants, she might start to take things out on Alina. Pobre de Fidelia, first Maria, then Sebastian, and now Marilu. She thinks maybe they ought to call either Mariano or Dr. Veronese to exorcise the demon or medicate her. Or maybe both. Piero tells Ric that he saw Marilu last night in a bar drinking with some guy and that in her inebriated state, she told him that Inésiana can take the kid, but she wants to keep Ric. Piero still has the guy's card.
Our trusty Hhhhhackerrrrr has finished his work. For the low, low price of $10K, what he did was

Por siempre mi amor #40 1/29/14: The Evil Seed Is Planted
For J Desde NYC- Feel better!
Art is asking Za about deceiving Esteban will Favier. Za denies it. (She has that whiny pitch in her voice just like Sucia). Ara says that Facier made her realize that she doesn't feel anything for Esteban. He is too immature. Once again with the perdonames. Art asks Ara not to continue lying and Ara promises not to do it again. Isa was not too happy that Ara wasn't with Daphne and Ara was not too happy that Isa brought it to his attention. She's going to pay. (What else is new?)

She's going to pay. (What else is new?)
At the love nest
Sucia and Favier discuss how Ara loved the dog and Sucia marvels at how no one know that the dog was her suggestion. She asked if he had spoken to his contact at the prison and he lied and said that he was on vacation, he wants to put Fernando to in the past he doesn't want her to know the truth about Feo. Favier is calling Methusulah about getting some candidates for the chauffeur's job for Isa.
At Art and Isa's
Ara approaches Daphne about blowing her cover, and Daphe says that it couldn't be helped. She was waiting outside for her and rang the bell and Art saw her but it won't happen again. (Yeah right) then Daphne goes into her rant about how that nosey Isa is going to pay dearly. (Ara is already paying by living with you for the last 10 years)
At Andrea and Mau's
A tearful Andrea is comforted by Esteban and tells MeanMinnie about Angel finding out the truth about his sperm donor. Minnie was worried about Feo's name being called but what does it matter, he's "dead". Angel went to the movies with Mau and he is glad that Mau is his dad, he wouldn't have it any other way.
At Methusulah's Office (and why does this man even have office space?)
The Evil Duo pay Meth to hire a chauffeur for Isa, someone intelligent because they want to be kept informed of everything that is going on regarding Isa and Art. (What a powerful anvil drop that will be)
Art and Isa's
Daphe comes down to dinner and art asks for Ara. She wasn't hungry and is not feeling well. She's upset that Isa got her in trouble. Isa is taken aback , Daphne doesn't understand why she Ara doesn't like Isa and Art wants to know if Daphne's parents are aware that she is there. Since they don't she needs to give them a call and leave a message. They need to know her whereabouts. Daphne pits in her jabs about Aea is lucky to have a father and stepmother who care about her and that Ara doesn't appreciate them. Art and Isa share uncomfortable looks. Isa gets a text- Hello Beautiful. Oh no, it's from Feo and she starts having palpitations. Art feels bad for Daphne but Isa shares the text from Feo that she just received. Art is sure that it's a wrong number and he will call it. Favier is pleased that Isa reacted to his text and he plans on driving her crazy ( pushing her past her limits). He will Mae her life miserable as Feo's ghost.
At Gaby's Apartment or should I say the smack down ring
Ally shows up at Gaby's door. Gaby wasn't expecting company and Ally says that they ends to talk. Gaby says that she has nothing to say, she hasn't seen Bruno for years (Gaby, you knew that this wasn't a social call, so why did you invite Ally and furthermore why does she have a coffee cup?). Ally brings up that Gaby still has a picture of she and Bruno. She and Gaby are similar in their lifestyles how they act.She asks Bruno why did he chose her, what attracted him to her? She found out her answers when she got to know Gaby. Bruno still loves Gaby. (Why doesn't Ally have this convo with Bruno? Gaby did nothing to encourage him). Gaby doesn't believe her. Why would he get married then, Gaby defends Bruno.
She herself is an honest, forthright woman and perhaps Ally doesn't know Bruno as well,as she thinks that she does. Then we go back and forth as to know knows Bruno. Gaby let's Ally know that she broke Bruno's heart due to fear and just being plain stupid, I didn't see that I had a good thing in front of me. Ally agrees that he came to Spain very hurt. Gaby regrets it but it's useless. Bruno moved to the otherwise of the world to get over her. Gaby tells Ally that she has nothing to worry about the love story between she and Bruno is over. Hmmmmm- Gaby, viewer vile will strongly disagree with you!

OSD will handle the costs, send him the bills,oh and he was going to sue, but thanks to Sucia, she encouraged him not to. OSD feels so much better. He will send over a messaging with a check. He is not coming, he doesn't want to be seen, and he doesn't want anyone to have anything against him. He said that he is not going to sue but he can be ill advised and proceed with the lawsuit.
At Art and Isa's
Isa is very upset over the text, Art tries to calm her down and jokes that the intended person for the text will never receive it. Calm down, Isa, Feo is"dead". She has to calm down for the sake of the baby. Art and Isa share a little pillow talk. She feels safe I his arms. Goodnight.zzzzzz
At Tita's

Daphe interrupts and tells Ileana not to critique what she doesn't know and Ileana
is bothered that her friend drops a wonderful man for someone that she just met. Daphne tells Ileana how Esteban went to Ara's house and how he treated her.

Dante brings Agatha the paperwork that she needed and he rents the apartment. Gonzo tells Da te that he double crossed Feo and that if Feo sees him, Gonzo is a dead man. Dante will be a big help because Feo doesn't know him. The chauffeur's job is a better investment than robbing merchandise where he has betrayed Feo.
At a restaurant
Isa and Gaby are dining and Art and Bruno coincidentally meet them there. BTW- OSD is dining at the same restaurant with Javier. Javier is all smiles at the lunch with OSD, who thanks him for tasking care of all of the medical costs. His cell rings and he walks off to answer. Tere calls Isa and suddenly there is a flood at the house, so Osa and Art leave, leaving Gaby and Bruno together.

Isa asks if there is someone else. Yes, the person who,sent the flowers, Javier. Ara feels bad because she doesn't want to deceive Este. Isa gets it. Don't be fooled by the illusion of love, things, words, that is not love.
At the university

Mentir Para Vivir #80 Wed 1/29/14 Cupid takes one of Leo’s arrows and aims it right at his heart; Sabe meets his velvet lined anvil (?)
Las Brujas y El Zorro
Matidle and Lila meet JL at swanky restaurant. The ladies order drinks, but JL responsibly
orders mineral water, cuz well, you know why.
Casa de Paloma
Ricky and Ori discuss Marilu’s sudden change of heart (as
Ori precariously navigates the stairs).
Ricky worries that the social worker may not give a good report to the
judge who could keep Alina away from Ori.
She doesn’t want that to happen, she wants custody back now. She’s really afraid of JL. Ricky says this could mean another fight. Ori is tired of arguing and resorts to her
oft-repeated suggestion that maybe they just need to stop seeing each other –
again. Ricky tells her Mari-coo-coo
can’t keep him from visiting his madrina who happens to be the major investor. Ori worries this will put a bee in her bonnet
and then she’ll go blab to the judge that the marriage is a sham and Ricky and
Ori are having relations. Ricky tells
her to calm down and take one step at a time.
First, she must go to the judge to request custody of Alina. That’s a given. Now if JL protests, they’ll have to figure
out how to defend themselves. She is now
Ines Valdivia Egads – copy/paste
time. You know the drill: If JL admits he’s Falcon, he’s cooked and as
Francisco Castro, they never married. He
reminds her they agreed they’d be in this fight together to the bitter end and
asks her not to give up now. They’re
smooching as Ruben shows up to visit Cesar.
He doesn’t say much but they stop smooching as Ruben heads
upstairs. Ricky assures Ori everything
will turn out ok. He tells her about
Leo’s godfather’s suicide.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, # 57, 1/29/2014, Ale Hates Montse; Montse Hates Ale. Things are even, but will they ever get better?
Lo Refrito # 1: Josefina tries to explain her understanding of Alejandro's point of view to Montse.
Lo Refrito # 2: In the Living Room of Hacienda Almonte, a disbelieving Alejandro bends over the dead body of his father-in-law, Admiral Lauro Mendoza. Ale tells Marcario to call in Lauro's chauffeur but not to tell him what happened because he (Ale) needs to make a call. Ale exits the scene, leaving María behind to have some quality time with Admiral Mendoza's corpse: "Maldito Viejo," she calls him, which translates directly as Bad Old Man, though if she were speaking in English she'd probably say, "Stupid Old Fart!" María is angry at the Admiral for coming to die at the hacienda. Some nerve!
Study o' Sh*t Going Down: Alejandro, visibly shaken, is on the phone with his best friend, Victor. Victor seems excited to get Ale's call, hoping it means he's calmer about the situation with Montse and is seeing things with a fresh point of view, but Ale immediately says no, he didn't call for this. He explains what happened with the Admiral and is emotional and upset. Ale asks Victor to help him, to call and make arrangements with a funeral home to receive the body tonight. He (Ale) is coming to Agua Azul now and will pay for all the costs of the wake. Victor wants to know if Ale has spoken yet with Montse. Ale says no and that he wants to tell her in person.

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 1/29/14 (#18): The VICTIM Returns to the Scene of the Crime
Chuy asks, why so much fuss over a beat-up old brush? "Because it was Mom's." Chuy feels cheap!
The RPs retreat to their penthouse apartment to whine self-righteously. Mati scolds them: you're not living up to your pedigree.
Mati wanders around absently, looking for something that she's not sure what it is.
Chuy tells his kids not to be rude his old friend Aurelio's daughter-in-law and her family. JT protests: "But they're hiding..." Lupe interrupts him, preserving MA's big secret for just a tiny bit longer.
In the VIP skybox, the RPs continue to vent. They are full of complaints about these strangers who have been harboring them and feeding them, so far at their own expense. Frida is upset because the Menchacas are "carnivores" and after all, this is their grandfather's house. MA begs them again to just stay out of the Menchacas' way.
Saul smuggles MA onto the RP/Conceptos/Grupo Imperio/Televisa campus. MA hides in the backseat of the car while Saul stalls for time talking to the guard (who won't let him through the gate) until more cars pull up behind him. Then the guard has to let Saul through the gate so that the other cars can get through and he can turn around and get out.
MA hops out of the car and sneaks into Ahole's office. He swipes every potential piece of evidence he can find.
Back in Italy, Frida explains the family's financial situation to Mati.
Vilma shows up to work and notices that Ahole's office door is open. MA hides under the desk. Vilma takes the framed photo of Ahole and Mini from the desk, covers up Mini, and kisses Ahole's face. Ugh, sad. Then she calls one of the secretaries, Melina, and yells at her for leaving Ahole's door open. Melina sasses back: it's not her job to keep Ahole's office locked up. That's Vilma's job.

Mentir Para Vivir #79 Tue 1/28/14 The Three Faces of Sybilu
At the elementary school entrance, Ricky kneels down to
speak with Rhodalina. He promises her burgers
and fries after school. Unseen, across
the street, Jose Luis quietly observes the whimsical interaction between his
offspring and his arch nemesis, Pretty Ricky. The camera pans down to show a Volkswagen
sized beetle. Jose Luis thoroughly
crushes the bug under his size 15 leather loafer. Big feet!
Explains why Oriana put up with him for so long.

Que pobres tan ricos #17: The cannon explosion or the little flame, its a matter of degrees..... and MA and Lupe continue to communicate and look the same way
Isela/Mini in white robes, as usual Isela is asking for money … they celebrate the upcoming wedding, like winning the lottery without even buying a ticket.
At attic, Frida and Leo are cleaning up/picking up, while Jose is bugging them about the place all a mess. Leo and then Frida defend themselves… then she makes fun of Jose because he said he rehearses there with his band, about him being a loser etc etc. He claims to have his fan club. Jose turns it on Leo being a rich bum. Leo takes his exit rather than receiving more lectures. Jose tells Frida his band/group has a gig tonight. They begin whistling back and forth.
MA and Lupe, her doing numbers, we owe 307,228.60. MA is very amused staring at her and smiling. She asks if it sounds good. He says yeah, well, maybe… well, more or less. He admits he was not really listening. She claims he is doing same he did back then at the restaurant. MA says did not mean to offend, she agrees, his head is at the wedding of Mini and A-hole. MA cannot admit he was thinking about that. She repeats the number. He has to talk it over with Saul. Lupe says go ahead. Here is your mensa. I will even loan you my notebook. She swears they will pay MA peso sobre peso. She wants MA to start figuring out where he will take his family. She does not want to risk trouble with the police. He swears as soon as he fixes his problems they will leave their house… forever. (he tries to get up by sliding the chair back, but he almost stumbles to floor with chair and all, but is very respectful ‘excuse me’ once he finally manages to stand up.
At some chinese restaurant, MA and Saul talk. MA is obviously affected by the wedding stuff. They order ‘whatever is in this picture’… Saul and MA talk about the magazine article. MA repeats the text from the article. Although Saul doubts it, MA tells him Lupe told him they have been seing each other for many years. Saul wants to bring the subject back to the corporate finances.
Carme and Lupe at kitchen… Carme teases Lupe about MA. ‘lo que se ve no se oculta’ (whatever can be seen with the naked eye is hard to hide)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 56, Tues., 1/28/14: Alejandro, you are dead to me!
Aguazul, 28 de enero de 2014
Estimada Sra. NovelaMaven:
I have only recently learned of the precipitous fall of my Q score on The Patio. As you are surely aware, I am the VICTIM of a cruel hoax. I am a man -- A MAN -- who has been made to LOOK RIDICULOUS. I come to you in hopes that you can rehabilitate my image and explain my behavior to your colleagues. And I beg you to remind them that whatever I may do or say, whomever I may install at my table or my bed, I am and will continue to be the most beautiful boy in Campeche.
Atentamente,
Alejandro Almonte

Lo Que La Vida Mi Robo, Capitulo 55. 01/27/14.
Montse tells Padre Anselmo that Ale accused her of kicking it
with JL under his nose. But you know
that's not true. I know that replies
Padre. As soon as Macario told me what happened
I ran to talk to him. I tried, but
unfortunately he is refused to listen to reason. Montse says he can think whatever he
wants. I don't care. I know that's not true replies Padre. Who knows if I can ever forgive him for not
acknowledging his child says Montse. It
hurts me to admit it, but a lot of this is my fault. I have to accept that I lost Ale
forever. Padre tries to console her and
spills the frijoles that Maria is back at the hacienda. Are they together asks Montse. Yes, confirms Padre. She will poison him against you.
Maria shouts for Dominga.
When Dominga asks her what the heck she wants Maria starts insulting
her. She says to watch her tone. That is no way to talk to the lady of the
house. (What lady?) Dominga gets a jab in and says she will treat
Maria like the lady of the house when she actually becomes one. (Score for Dominga). Maria asks if it bothers her to know that she
was wrong about her and Ale. Dominga
reminds her it's one thing to have Ale bring her there to console him and
another for him to be hers. Even though
he may divorce Montse, I highly doubt that he would marry you. (Score another for Dominga). Maria reminds Dominga that she always find a
way to get what she wants. Ale comes in
asking if she's ready. Maria turns to
Dominga and says he's taking her out to go shopping. Make sure you make something scrumptious for
dinner. Maria gives Dominga a dirty look
as they leave.

Por siempre mi amor #38 1/27/14: No Puede Ser! Time for the Tin Foil Hats!!
Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying warm. We have had very nice weather here in the Northwest for the last couple of weeks, but alas, the rain has come back.
This episode was not the same as the one I watched online that was broadcast in Mexico. Some scenes were cut out and others were added at the end. Usually I watch the episode I'm recapping at least three times but because of the changes I only saw some scenes once. Hopefully I got everything right. If not, please feel free to correct in the comments.
This was kind of a downer episode, so snark is in short supply. But I did think that this is the episode where we officially enter the "TN Beanie" phase. So choose your style:

I apologize for the delay, this turned out to be a pretty good episode.
Alina is with the school psychologist, talking about
her father. She is scared of him because he stopped laughing and playing with her as he used to do before, now he’s serious
all the time. The doctor asks her to draw a picture of her family, Tito
included, but Alina says that if she draws her dad, too, it would have to be
while he’s kicking Tito in the behind. Such a great memory should be immortalized,
so, go for it!
Mariano and Oriana are on the phone, talking about the
religious service they should prepare for Homero, even if he’s not truly dead.
Mariano feels that something is wrong with her and invites her to have a cheap
lunch together the next day. She’s happy to share her worries with him. After
he hangs up Mariano remembers that he totally loved her back when he was a
member of the Plaid Brotherhood of Hermosillo.He hopes his hormones won't get the best of him when they meet.
Alina goes to see Oriana at Paloma’s after school. She
shows her the picture she drew of their family (with JL included); she’s still afraid of
her dad, though.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #16-1/27/14: The Beatles Addition
Hola Amguis! Little bebe steps happening between the Menchacas and the Ruiz Palacios. Skipping the refried and getting right to the meat of this episode. Recap will not be in order for better flow of the recap. Shall we begin?
Come Together, Right Now, Over Granny:
Having made their Great Escape with Granny Mati, MA and Saul bring her to the Menchacas and MA asks if she can also stay with the Ruiz Palacio's here. At first Don Chuy is like what, que??? Another mouth to feed, por favor this isn't a hotel. Granny Mati however, seems to be Don Chuy's biggest fan. She remembers all his bouts as "Hijo de Sumatra" and reminces with Don Chuy about going to his bouts with her dearly departed hubby. Don Chuy is really liking Grandma Mati.
The Fool On The Hill:
That's Ahole on the hill, er office, sitting almost on top of his computer when Vilma comes in. She wants to know if he's come up with something for this money situation. He's trying to get in touch with Adolfo, who isn't answering his calls. Just then the phone rings and Ahole thinks it's Adolfo, but in fact it is Dinora, the nurse that Ahole paid to medicate Granny Mati. He eagerly asks Dinora is she dead yet? Thanks Paula! She informs him of Granny's escape and how they have looked all over the home for her and can't seem to find her. Ahole tells her don't worry, he'll get his people on that. Ahole tells Vilma he doesn't care if Granny wanders around out of her mind and destitute and Dinora better not be blackmailing him. He wants Dinora to be discrete, cause this will land squarely on her head y punto!
