Weekend Discussion: Novelas en Ingles?
Is this a viable idea?
There were two unsuccessful attempts a few years ago to do English-language novelas by two of the smaller networks. They failed for two reasons:
1. Poor acting, possibly due to poor writing
2. Not ready for prime time in terms of gringo viewing habits

Que pobres tan ricos #69 Some revelations... Some direct accusations... Nepo's new associate... and Lupe's biggest secret might not be a secret anymore...
At penthouse MA sees the news report of Bambi on the tv and goes beserk when he makes the connection of Bambi on TV with the Bambi picture at Dona Queta’s stand. He starts moving crazy telling his family about Bambi. They don’t really understand what he is saying.
Lupita argues with Chuy, he won’t admit that Carm leaving was his fault, she did not respect AS & fam. Lupe rants at him that his asking Carm to stay behind and care for the RP was not right at all. Lupe won’t let Carmelita leave because of THAT WOMAN (AS).
MA and Saul in car, MA hopes police will catch Bambi soon, tells Saul about Bambi being Queta’s nephew. MA tells Saul he is thinking of using Bambi to take down A-hole. Saul says you are crazy if you trust Bambi, it would be like playing Russian roulette with a gun FULL of bullets. MA tells Saul he felt like being in a spy movie at his last meeting with Mini, even had to escape out the back door! If it wasn’t for Lupe… Saul asks MA what’s up with Lupita. Did you do the deed with her?? ‘Home-run at la Nopalera!!’ MA nags at him to not mock Lupe. Having no money does not mean MA can use Lupe. MA admits he is in love with Lupe. Have never felt before what he feels for her. Saul is in disbelief. MA calls him ‘insensible’. MA leave. Saul tells self ‘thanks for asking about MY issues! You worry about me so much!’
At her house, Dona Queta argues with Bambi about the news report she saw. Is he still doing #$)#$*?? Bambi denies still being involved in that stuff. She does not want to be dirtied in his pig pen lifestyle.
At market, MA arrives, asks Nepo AGAIN for his job back. Nepo AGAIN gives it back to him with not much resistance.
A-hole keeps looking at the photos of Lupita.. ‘more beautiful than ever’. Vilma comes in, she gets miffed at A-hole paying so much attention to Mrs Menchaaaaca. Vilma says she will find where Lupe is. A-hole says don’t bother.. I am soooo much smarter than you… all you have to do is investigate the licence tags of the motorbike. Vilma offers to go find out. A-hole says no, I will do it myself. Vilma insists in doing it only to get shoo-ed again by A-hole.
Now Tizoc is helping Lupe at Fonda. AS comes downstairs. Lupe immediately confronts her about Carm leaving. AS acts all the entitled ‘victim’. Carm, the ‘employee’, had an issue with her, not the other way around. Lupe says Carm is NO employee. They continue arguing about who knows the true meaning of ‘respect’.
At market, MA questions Trofeo about Dona Queta. Dona Queta comes in and gets to her stand and hides the framed photo of Bambi. Trofeo tells MA that in the news they are saying that the police is after Bambi because of money laundering. MA looks to Dona Queta’s spot, and is worried/concerned.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #25- Fri 4/11
De que lo atraparon, lo atraparon
The next morning, Alonso wakes up on the couch. Irene starts picking up some of the stuff she'd knocked around. She says she's feeling better, but she's sorry she wrecked his place. More hugs. She's apologetic, but Alonso says he's happy because she got through it. He agrees to let her clean up, since she says she's going to feel bad until she does.
Diego calls Natalia to tell her that Vicente is in the hospital and he won't be coming in to the office today. Diego gives her instructions about a folder that needs to go to the plant. Diana brings Diego a coffee and asks about Irene. Diego isn't sure she should be there, or what condition she's in. The doctor comes out to say the angioplasty is a go and takes Diego back to see Vicente.
Natalia worries about how Diego is doing and hopes Vicente gets better. As Karina walks in, Natalia tells her that Vicente is in the hospital. Karina calls Diana to see how she's doing.
Tiburcio goes to confession. He tells the padre someone's in the hospital and it's his fault. He backs up and tells the story about Irene and the baby…he was supposed to take the baby and give it away, but the girl figured it out and ran away….
Diego begs his unconscious Grumps not to leave him behind. "You're all I've got. Don't leave me!" Vicente mumbles behind his oxygen mask and passes out again.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #92-The Hypocritical Oath
I will do my best with this. I took some notes, but I'm still adjusting to the new DVR and remote and I accidentally deleted TONIGHT'S episode, so I can't go back and double check stuff. *sigh*
Read more »
First off...
I looked up and perused both the Old Hippocratic Oath and the Modern Version. Then I even looked it up in Spanish. I'm pretty sure Dr. Dementa knows nothing about this oath. How does one graduate from medical school without knowing about this? I'm pretty sure that backstabbing counts as using a knife (see Old Oath.)
Let's see...how to put in words the things I saw tonight....
Isa is busted. Art is pithed. Marcela is outta there.
Feo destroys the tape recorder with his ugly clod-hopper shoes.
Marcela calls Art and wants to meet with him about some information she has. She shows the video to Art and Bruno. She throws a whole forest's worth of shade on Isa. Bruno really has his doubts. He can't imagine Gaby would be part of something like this. Art thinks the video doesn't lie. Art proceeds to get drunk. That's the way to problem solve, buddy.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 107 - April 10, 2014 - Josefina Chooses Herself and Angelica Says Goodnight
Prologue
Read more »
How is it that we can become
so emotionally attached to a character in a television story that when the
character dies we are moved to actual tears?
I think it is because the component parts of our personal experiences—birth, joy, sorrow and loss, couplings, ceremonies and beginnings,
suffering, fear, triumph, divorce and heartbreak, sexuality, illness, old age
and death—are common to all human beings, regardless of culture. Together these experiences constitute our shared humanity. As we lose ourselves in a good story, the tale of a human life well lived, the
line between the stories we tell ourselves and those others relate to us becomes blurred. We feel loss at the death
of a beloved character in a television drama because we all know loss. It is terribly sad that everything is impermanent.
Josefina Chooses Herself
Dimitrio Mendoza, not-yet-reformed
scoundrel, stands high in the middle of Aguazul’s Plaza Mayor. Dramatically, he
declares his love for his wife.
“Josefina Valverde! Te amo!”
Dimitrio cries out in front
of the whole town. He loves Josefina in a way he never thought he could. He
begs her not to go but to stay, to be happy with him! He will love her forever.
Dimitrio jumps off his
precarious perch, runs to Josefina. He tenderly takes her face in his hands and
prepares to kiss her, but she stops him.
He wants to know does she
believe him? He loves her!
Josefina says, yes, she
believes that he loves her, but there is still something missing. Now, she
understands.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #68: 4/10/14: Amor de Microbus!
Hola, Mis Peeps! I'm doing an on the fly recap again. Not too many details. I had some trouble with the convo between Frida and Mau and also some with Tizoc and his band. Please feel free to let me know what it is that I missed. I learn so much from Y'all : ) I am skipping the refried and getting right to the new.
Shall we begin with an earworm? I have selected one for Lupe from her past so to speak with Ahole, Love On A Two Way Street!
Vilma asks Ahole if maybe there wasn't a past ahem, woman he could have had a child with. I think he insults these women as low class and wouldn't want a child of theirs. He thinks about it for a hawt second and then decides, impossible, absurd! He is and I quote 100% sure that no such child exists.
Tizoc and Don Chuy are just about done cleaning up the kitchen from that fire. Don Chuy feels like a little man for the way he reacted to Carmelita. He looks like he's crying, but he tells Tizoc he's got something in his eye, yeah, right!
AS is at some salon complaining about the quality of their lotions, not like the ones in France or whereva when her former friends show up. They want to know why she is still in Mexico and not in Italia. AS claims it's for the wedding and the stuff she bought has to do with it, when they ask her of course. When is the wedding? Don't know yet, cause it depends on the Count and Countess, but will be sure to invite them.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #24- Thurs 4/10
De que no murió, no murió
CarLouse and The Shrimp hang out in front of the fonda while Louse reminisces about how Carmen's cooking was so awesome. If only he hadn't tried to use her as a drug mule and she hadn't gotten caught. The promise of empanadas is just too tempting for Shrimp and he tries to go in and get some…but he's stopped by the sight of Carmen in there with Eleazar and blames CarLouse for getting them caught in the first place. I have no idea what happened, but either Shrimp shoots his gun off by accident or Louse shoves him off their shared motorcycle on purpose. Shrimp ends up in the street and gets picked up by Eleazar and Morales. Looks like the gun did go off, as Louse ends up around the corner with a shot in his side.
Drunk!Irene goes over to Alonso's. And I'm glad it's Alonso's and not another hotel room with some creep. She decides now is the time to come on to him. Yeah, that's not awkward at all.
Carmen and Co. are worried about what it means that Louse and Shrimp were in the 'hood, but Eleazar says they should be safe and he won't rest until Carmen is cleared.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #91- April 10, 2014- Dear Diary, My Name Is Isabel and I Have a Plan
Dear Diary,
My name is Isabel De La Riva and I am married to Arturo De
La Riva, a so, so looking guy who is extremely jealous and not too bright. He was a widower with a young spoiled
daughter, named Aranza but I am not going discuss her too much at this time.
Art is an architect who works with his close friend, Bruno who secretly still
loves my pregnant best friend, Gaby, even though he is married to nice lady
from Spain, named Almudena. His mother Tita thinks that Bruno and Gaby passed some type of test but... They
just adopted a little boy, Uriel. Uriel lived with four other children in the hood with
Marianela, a simple pretty girl and a guy named Borlas. Bruno’s mom, Tita befriended Marianela,
Borlas and the kids while they were selling stuff on the street. Tit would feed the kids and eventually took
them in to live with her. She
built them an orphanage and all of the kids except for Uriel, live there and
are waiting to be adopted, perhaps by Almudena. Thanks to Tita, Marianela is
getting a good education at Tita’s alma mater. The uppity girls at the school tease Marianela and in order
to defend herself she slaps them around.
She always gets into trouble, its funny the uppity girls don’t. It’s probably because their uppity
Principal defends them. Well thank goodness; Don Gilberto came to his senses,
thanks to his new girlfriend, Agatha.
Don Gil went to visit Mari at school, it’s funny, the uppity Principal
said that a woman had come to the school to visit Mari. She lived abroad and didn’t have time
to stay and see her. Hmmm? Gil stayed and defended Mari. He even told the uppity Principal that
he was her grandfather and would make a donation to the school if Mari was not expelled. He was
able to talk to Mari and apologize for being so pigheaded and arrogant with her
in the past. She accepted his
apology.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/9/14 (#67): After the Fire
- Nepo tells Gwendy that it's best if they don't see one another for a while. She bravely pretends to agree, but goes home distraught. Carmelita says that if Nepo needs to stay away from Gwendy, it's because he has feelings for her.
- Macarena calls. AS suggests moving up the wedding another month (or having it in a month) and asks Mac to have her parents send them the money to set it up. Mac says her parents are still in Siberia and won't have access to their bank accounts. AS agrees to go ahead and plan the wedding now and wait for Mac's parents to pay her back. Leo is nervous about this, but AS is sure she knows what's she's doing.

Put A Ring On It, Alfie!
Lo refrito # 2: Adolfo and Basurto are feeling the aftershocks of the murder of Padre Anselmo. Basurto is really angry about what happened, threatening to kill Adolfo with his own hands for creating such a problem and being such an imbecile. He can't believe Adolfo went rogue and didn't tell him about Pedro's plans to kill the Padre and then also maligned and implicated Basurto himself. Basurto claims he would have arranged things differently if he'd known, but it was too late. He wants to know what happened to Padre Anselmo's ring? They need it as proof to show Pedro.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #23
De que pierde la dignidad, pierde la dignidad
(Alt title: De que perdió la lucha, perdió la lucha)
It's gonna be wham, bam, thank you ma'am and haphazard. Sorry I just couldn't seem to take notes fast enough tonight. :-(
Alonso advises Diego to postpone the divorce for now. He also tells Diego it's important for her to get help. She needs therapy. And in true novela form he also cautions Diego not to do anything that might upset the delicate flower that is Diana. Dr arrives and says Diana can leave that afternoon.
Nat tells GVB how grateful she is to Diego. She wants to do something for him. GVB thinks a nice gift from her stall.
Alonso arranges for his friend Alvaro (another Al?) to be Diana's therapist. Grumps doesn't think Diana needs therapy. He thinks she needs Diego to be a better husband. He blames Diego and says none of this would have happened if he had been a good husband. Diego says they'll will do what they can for Diana to get better, but he's getting a divorce. He tells Grumps he's postponing the divorce but come hell or high water "De que me divorcio, me divorcio."

Tuesday 4/8/2014---- Por Siempre Mi Amor Recap #89---- I have no idea anymore!
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
-Oso is in bed with a grindguard and hilarity ensues. Tita must really not like that snoring but who would LOL.
-Zenaida (you know, she looks like Marianela, are you sure she isn't Mari's momma?) and Balthazar are like a slightly saturated version of Tita and Oso and she lays her charm on while Balto (never too late for nicknames) lays it off. Someone's a knockin' at the door and they both go to answer it. (Balto takes his job too seriously.)
-BonBon is heading to his colorful car (has it always been green? I thought it was yellow when he got the newspaper about Fernando's "death") and his stalker/predator is on the move watching him and filming him. Coincidentally, FeVer s headed to see 'Za who is sitting at a table alone and he asks her out to lunch. She declines because she is going to go see Tita's Casa Hogar. He then says he will accompany her to it!
-Balto and 'Naida escort the inspector to see Tita and she talks with her.
-Tita is up in happy flames because the casa hogar has passed inspection and the grand opening is soon to come!
-Illeana and DanHairyChest are in the vecindad when Mari is talking with Agatha about heartbreak and she denies any and Borlas comes. Mari leaves with Borlas and after asking, Agatha lets him know what he did wrong and he looks as if he regrets being the sacrificial lamb.
-Isa is talking with Gaby about how happy she is for Tita and that her dream finally came true! Some talk later and Isa mentions going on a trip and that FeVer and Marcela are coming to catch FeVer in the act. Gabs says she doesn't trust Marcela one bit. (This plan can only go so well...)
-BonBon's being stalked some more.
-The inspector is with the gang at La Casa Hogar and Dena tells her it's named Casa Hogar Adalberto. Everyone is giddy with glee!
-Illeana and Daniel are in the car and she says if it's a casa hogar he can see the kids whenever he wants! Danny then agrees and disagrees. (I just have to say this; Illeana isn't bad for liking Daniel. The only real fault is that no one wanted to tell Bronce Mari the ugly truth or that Daniel wouldn't listen to Soni when she was clearing up stuff at the wedding. So in a way, it's Danny's fault for not listening and almost everyone's fault for not telling her. The truth hurts but only as much as a booboo unlike a lie or hidden truth which is like a scar on the chest. Illeana only liked Danny and spared her feelings until it was no longer necessary. At least she isn't like Daffne who flaunts her good around town like a horny scoutmaster!)
-Tita comissions Borlas to work at La Casa Hogar but he can't abandon studies!
-Cuca is talking with Gil about how he feels for Agatha (her nickname shall be 'Tha and just for fun, should Cuca be 'Ca?)
-The Narvaez/Guttierrez clan is having breakfast and are happy about Tita's casa hogar.
-Gil goes to see 'Tha and she says she isn't ready (Well get ready Cinderella 'cause Gil Charming's takin' you out tonight!)
-'Za and FeVer are walking and he lets her know he is going on a trip and she asks to come. He says she will be bored (I'm pretty sure she will be ANYTHING but bored if it's the trip I'm thinking of.) Bottomline, she isn't going.
-Danny, 'Tha, Gil and Ill(eana) are eating out and happy together.
-At the Casa Hogar grand opening, everyone is in ot their own thing and happy. However in this novela euphoria doesn't last long and FeVer and Isa pull telepathically pull each other aside to exchange the address of the trip (Venue) The gears in Art Dad's head turn as he sees those two ealk off and wonders what's up.
-Oso is in bed with a grindguard and hilarity ensues. Tita must really not like that snoring but who would LOL.

Avances- About FeVer and Isa, Arturo ponders and over
the road of redemption Marcela wanders. (and FeVer's lips on Isa's head
wander as well LOL)
Author's Notes- I apologize for it being the second half of the
episode only but in a way it compensates for the other time I only had
the first half and my witty remarks make up maybe?Labels: siempre

Que pobres tan ricos #66, 08 April 2014... Fire at the Fonda!! at Chalma, MA and Lupe get hot and steamy too
Emi by pool asks MA if he would like to have wife and kids… MA says it would be really nice, but have to fix some issues of mine first.
At Fonda, Trofeo and Chilaquiles ask Frida what is there to eat. Leo is freaked out, says customers are bottomless barrels… AS says fix them some tortillas… Frida and Leo convince AS to cook something. She goes to kitchen but not leaving her bottle behind.
Lupe asks Emi to go back to room. MA and Lupe are by poolside. They have another cute argument. He says she has not given him a chance to admire her looks(she is in swimsuit). MA wants to invite her to eat some tacos.
Back at fonda, AS is drinking her martini while cutting potatoes (for Spanish tortilla?) Frida keeps waiting on customers. Leo comes in, says customers want to eat something heavier like panzita. AS is wabbling… she throws stuff on pot… they will love this delicious dish! (LOL!) Mati says see? When you make up your mind, you actually can do something productive. AS says she could care less about her comments, like a fly flew by. Leo says can’t help AS because it is super-complicated. AS says use your head. If anyone poor can use it, you, who have traveled so much should too.
At Chalma room, Chuy tells Nepo about his ‘beatings’ when he was a wrestler. This is nothing, compared to that. Nepo is thankful to them for their hospitality. Nepo lets Chuy use the truck to go back home to get some things.
At Fonda, Leo is having trouble lighting the stove. The room is filling with gas. Then he lites a match… drops it, lites another one and the whole stove goes up in flames… he tries to blow (LOL!) he calls for his mami… AS shouts ‘ay santa maddona!!’ Mati is not much help either blowing from where she is sitting.

Lupe asks Emi to go back to room. MA and Lupe are by poolside. They have another cute argument. He says she has not given him a chance to admire her looks(she is in swimsuit). MA wants to invite her to eat some tacos.
Back at fonda, AS is drinking her martini while cutting potatoes (for Spanish tortilla?) Frida keeps waiting on customers. Leo comes in, says customers want to eat something heavier like panzita. AS is wabbling… she throws stuff on pot… they will love this delicious dish! (LOL!) Mati says see? When you make up your mind, you actually can do something productive. AS says she could care less about her comments, like a fly flew by. Leo says can’t help AS because it is super-complicated. AS says use your head. If anyone poor can use it, you, who have traveled so much should too.
At Chalma room, Chuy tells Nepo about his ‘beatings’ when he was a wrestler. This is nothing, compared to that. Nepo is thankful to them for their hospitality. Nepo lets Chuy use the truck to go back home to get some things.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #22- Tue 4/8
De que lo está manipulando, lo está manipulando
Alonso encourages Irene to back away from the booze. I assume she does, since next thing we know….
It's the next day. Vicente is calling Karina to give her instructions to follow while he's out of the office, including bringing him a bunch of files to review. He's saying it in this annoyingly patronizing tone and griping at Karina for not saying anything more than "yes, sir." He hangs up before she even finishes telling him she'll get it done. In the middle of carrying out his orders, she calls Diana to apologize and see if they can hook up when she goes by the house. Diana tells her to bring some sleeping pills if she ever wants to be besties again.
The judge changed Carmen's charges and she can now get out on bail, once Diego pays it.
Karina calls Alonso to pretend she has insomnia and needs a prescription for sleeping pills. He says he'll leave a prescription for her with his secretary. Oh nooooooo!

Por Siempre Mi Amor #88 US 4/7/14 Yes, He Thinks He's Sexxxy
And yet again we have been subjected to Uni's scissors. This episode was a combination of episodes 126 and 127 from Mexico. I watched the first episode online, but did not watch the second, so this recap will contain deleted scenes from the first episode. Deleted scenes are in italics... again.
Leftovers:
Arturo picks up Isabel's phone and reads the text. Where? When? He asks her, "Who sent this text? What does it mean?"
New stuff:
Isabel lies that the text is from her client in Monterrey who is very, well, direct. She assures Arturo he has nothing to be jealous of since the client is old, chubby and has a wart on his nose. And yes, that description fits Javier. She hugs and kisses and whispers sweet nothings to Arturo. He forgets the text and they head upstairs. Meanwhile at the penthouse Javier gets no answer and gets mad. Ha. Ha. The joke's on you old chubby warty nose!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó . Lunes . 4/7/14 #104
Chapter
104: Blatant Lies and Dangerous Truths
Pedro
Medina's Office: The not so lordly mayor reminded the good
Father Anselmo he is the only person alive who knows of the suicide
note left by Lord Joaquin. The good priest acknowledged this with
some degree of discomfort and gave his apologies for having to
depart, as he had important matters to attend to in his parish. As
he was about to take his leave the unlordly mayor attempted to stop
him by saying he needed to remain in Aguazul for clarification of an
essential point. The good father said he would be leaving in the
morning, then accepted that his presence would be requested again.
