De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #41- Fri 5/5

De que eres un monstruo, eres un monstruo!

Andres offers to leave, since Diego's there acting like a jerk, and he does leave, effectively stranding Natalia.  Who turns on Diego, asking him where the hell he gets off doubting her or assuming that SHE needs someone else to console herself with while he deals with his WIFE.  And here she is being so understanding and this is how he behaves?  His excuse is that he loves her so much that he gets jealous and he promises never to do it again.  Natalia tells him not to promise, but she's ready to brush off his little bout of cavemanitis.  They go up to his office for the papers the needed.

Alonso is wondering if Irene even read his email…or cares.  He turns down Karina when she calls, then gets annoyed with himself for waiting for Irene to call.  He leaves his apartment just as Irene does call, and she tells herself it's better that way.

Chato is continuing to try to charm Lupita by reading The Three Little Pigs, but he gets sad that she's not listening and starts changing to story, talking about how the wolf was his mother's least favorite and was adopted by a band of hyenas.  Lupita knows that's not how it goes and takes over storytelling duties, with Chato providing sound effects.  As the dramatic music swells, Carmen looks in and the Post-it of Doom tells us Chato has completed Task #2.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #108 (Mex #147) 5/5/14 Dr. Skankenstein is BSC, Dafne is Busted and fArt *Finally* Gets a Clue

Well here we are in the final week of this TN and still so much to resolve! Will the writers be able to bring this to a satisfying conclusion? We'll know on Friday. For now I want to say Thank You to all of you who have been with us on this very frustrating journey. Thanks to my fellow recappers: Corazon Salvaje, Tablet Jefe, J Desde NYC and Sara who have done a great job! Thanks also the commenters who have responded to our work and given us much humor and great insights into the characters. (Tofie your lists have been da bomb!) Many times I have enjoyed the conversations in the comments more than this novela which Univision did its best to sabotage. This was my first time recapping and I enjoyed it. I learned so much and I hope to do it again sometime in the fall. My final picture for Por Siempre Mi Amor is this:
 

We finally know why Arturo is sooo stupid.
On to the recap!
 
As Isabel runs toward the house she sees Marcela (aka Dr. Skankenstein) coming down the stairs. Isabel leaps toward Dr. Skankenstein and lands a stinging slap to her face. Isabel never should have trusted her. She can't believe her lies, that she's after her husband. Marcela calls Isabel loca. Isabel yells, "The crazy one is you, Marcela!"  Marcela says Arturo hates Isabel now. "You're dead to him! You don't exist!" Isabel tries to get past Marcela to the house. They scuffle. Marcela hits Isabel with her medical case. The thump is so loud I have to wonder if she's carrying bricks in there. Isabel falls to the ground unconscious. Marcela takes a syringe and a vial from her bag and shoots Isabel with a sedative. This is daylight and out in the open in front of a house full of people. Why doesn't anyone hear the screaming or see what's happening here?

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/5/14 (#85): Taste and the Tasteless

Ana Sofia (AS) gets to her friend Chabelita's hacienda (it looks VERY familiar) and tells the loan shark to wait outside. This does not discourage him in the least.

At home, after school, Lupe introduces Emiliano to his father. Alejo (Ahole) puts on an impressive display. Emiliano maintains a poker face. Lupita's face is moist.

Ahole has a gift for Emiliano. He hugs the overwhelmed boy and pressures Lupe about the name change. While the grownups step outside to talk, Emil looks really pleased with his gift but I don't think we see what it is. Or maybe he's just happy that he thinks he won't have to sneak around any more.

Lupe warns Ahole not to take advantage of Emiliano. She'll be watching him, and he'd better be careful.

At the Cafe Popular, Mini comments on Miguel Angelo (MA)'s non-designer clothing. Mini says she's found no evidence to help him yet, but she happens to know that Ahole has a son! Mini is personally offended that he went and had a kid with someone behind her back. The tramp's name is Menchaca, she says. MA doesn't try very hard to look surprised. She tries to find out who he's been seeing. He tells her they'd better not keep meeting if she's hoping to get back with him. He especially doesn't want her to make Ahole suspicious. Most of all, he really values their new "friendship"!

Lo Que la Vida Me Robó Lunes 5/5/14 #124



Chapter 124: Return From the Ashes

Pedro Medina's Office: Governor Medina spoke in very clipped tones with Carlos Torres, the man who had snapped the photo of Nadia at the concert. He was staring at the picture while demanding every piece of information available on the woman in the photo. Almost anyone could tell he was a pressure cooker with a loose lid.


Monserrat Mendoza's Home: Monserrat allowed José Luis to introduce himself to young Lauro. She had never talked about him with her son, only of Angélica. She had told her son that Angélica was watching him from Heaven along with his father and grandfather. She watched as José Luis told the boy he was his godfather, husband to his deceased godmother, Angélica. The boy had a problem with his toy cars and José Luis handled the situation like a pro, as though he had children of his own. Something life had stolen from him until that moment. Over the next few days he played with Lauro under the watchful eyes of the boy's mother and grandmother at the beach, in the garden, in front of the TV, other places. Rosario (who still missed her own son) was concerned at first, but soon saw that José Luis was in fact becoming the father figure her grandson had missed since before he even knew he needed one. When he carried the sleeping child into the house and helped put him to bed he could not help thinking about what he wanted this to mean. He was so sincere that one morning Rosario said to her daughter-in-law that she should move on with her life. She would help because she wanted to see her happy. They embraced, each hoping she was making the right decision.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo # 123: 5/2/14: Memories and Premonitions!

Ahoy, Mi Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend and am now recovering. If I miss anything or need a correction please let me know. We still have the same distubrance in the force, namely Peddy of course, but there is a sliver of hope on the horizon and well, you'll see what I mean. I am starting with the usual earworm for you to enjoy as you read this recap. This one is dedicated to Monse and JL. Try To Love Again

Shall we begin? I am briefly going over that last scene where Monse feels Ale is gone now for the last seven years and Rosy isn't accepting it, pobrecita! After all the poor woman's finace, the love of her life was brutally murdered by Don Benny, she went to the prison for 30 years for a that crime which she didn't commit and had just come to know her son, she has lost so much. Monse understands this grief and hands her the cell phone for her to look at the last words of her son Ale, Monse says she will talk to her manana and gives her a kiss and hug goodnight. Rosy watches the video and cries and kisses that cell phone.

Dimi and Monica have spent the night together, and he actually looks happy having done this, but maybe a mite guilty? Monica stirs and smiles. What does Dimi do? He covers her and goes! It's not nice to do this Dimi, jus' sayin'! Monica wakes to find Dimi gone. She gets up and finds a piece of chocolate the Ferrara Roche wrapped in gold type, her car keys and a note. What does the note say? Far as I could tell he told her he was sorry he had to go, he did bring her car for her, it's outside so she can get back to her place and he'll see her Lunes at work. Hmmmmmm.....

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #40- Fri 5/2

De que no confío en el, no confío en el

Irene, Vicente, and Lala all come running into Diana's room.  No one got shot, but they see the gun on the ground and Diana laughing maliciously.

Alonso and Alberto talk chicks.  Alberto doesn't know where things are going with Brigitte.  Alonso says there's no one for him and he'd rather be alone right now.  He gets the call from Irene that Diana shot at Diego, but he wasn't hit.  They just don't know what to do, so she asks him to come over.  Los dos Als hit the road.

Paolo fills out his job application, where for some reason it's asking for the names of both his parents.  He jokes with Abdul…"Should I say my dad is Eleazar Medina or Chato Reynoso?"  He puts down Fonda Los 6 Garcia as his work experience and Abdul as his previous boss since, as Abdul says, Carmen is the owner, but he's the General Manager.  Paolo gets worried when it asks about his criminal record, but Abdul tells him the thing with the truck doesn't count and if they need proof, they can ask Eleazar for a letter.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #84, 02 May 2014... Ahole arrives unannounced at Fonda (yikes!). Salomon gets 'fresco' and receives a slapfest from AS. Emi 'meets' his dad.

Ahole gets call from Lupita. call ok will meet but we will see later about the surname, Ahole knows Isela and Mini are at table so he talks to Lupita with a lot of charm, as if she is his current girlfriend, and tells her his whole life are Emiliano and her. Ahole walks away after hanging up and Isela and Mini act offended, how dare he talk like that in front of US!. They start trying to remember the name of the boy’s mother… is it Mechaca, Muchaca, Isela even says Chewbacca, and Mini says no, that’s the hairy one!(these 2 really work well off each other in comedy)

Vilma comes out to living room, Adolfo has fixed her desayuno, she is shocked, no one cooked for her before. He notes every man should. When she sits down, she gets a call from Ahole summoning her to get there NOW!! She has to run out, won’t even take bread and butter on the go, poor Adolfo was stood up.

Lupe drops off Emiliano at school. Reminds him she will arrange the meeting to meet his dad. She tells him some things will change, like he will get his dad’s surname. He is glad now he will also have both his dad’s surname and his mom’s surname.

Carm and Lupe talk on phone, they realize Gwendy is again hearing from the other line, Carm comes in the bedroom and reprimands Gwendy. Lupe feels more pitiful for Gwendy, she is sad about Nepo not giving her even the time of day.

Lupe delivers chilaquiles at Mercado, apparently MA followed her to that stand from Nepo’s stand, Lupe and MA chat that Nepo already knows she is with an Angel RP. It was Gwendy who told him, she is incapable of holding a secret, so be very careful what you tell Gwendy. With this MA wants her to confirm she cares about him. He insists he can’t live without her and wants to tell everyone about their relationship. They are about to kiss but stop just short, realizing where they are. She leaves and again he is dancing for joy.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #107 (Mexico #146)- Run, Isa! Run!

Ay Ay Ay! I couldn't take notes fast enough, and half of it was crap I didn't care about!

Right to the new
Borlas tells Sonia that despite her rejection, he is proud of who he is. Borlas asks who is dad is. Sonia says it's better he doesn't know and that Borlas shouldn't go looking for answers.

The Doctor in charge of Isa's care (Dr. Santa) continues his online research of Casa Arte. It's the second time Isa was telling the truth!

Bruno and Gabriela (Gabi) are both at the restaurant. Bruno tells Gabi that Ally asked him to meet her there because she had something important to tell him. He tries to call her, but she doesn't pick up. Gabi thinks it was all planned.

Dafne (The Duck) tells Lucha to pack a bigger bag since she's still undecided about what she'll wear. Esteban can carry it. NEXT!

Nadia goes to earn some cheese while everyone else drinks wine: lo que la Vida me Robo Epi 122 05/1/2014

I over slept this morning but the recap is finally done, enjoy!

Refugio, you are an epic punk

We start tonight's show in Agua Azul, Refugio and Esmeralda are waiting  for Montse and Jose Luis to join them for diner, Esme looks better but sadly she's stuck with her dreadful husband who can't even be bothered to listen to her while she speaks, he gives her a lame excuse about being worried about work and we know that Esmeralda is not buying it, finally Montse and Jose Luis arrive and thank god they did because watching the interaction between Esme and Refugio was painful! Oh but things don't get any better, Montse tries to break the ice and says that she believes that there's a lot of truth behind people saying that pregnant women are always stunning and beautiful and that Esmeralda  looks great, Jose Luis agrees and things get mighty uncomfortable when all Refugio can say about his wife is "yeah she looks pretty." Someone call a divorce lawyer.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #39- Thu 5/1

"Pues…de que prende, prende!"

Eleazar plays along, saying of course he's not in love with Carmen…as if!  He doesn't join in on Luz's hysterical laughter.  He's not thrilled to hear that Luz encouraged Chato to have Carmen make an honest man out of him.

Paolo, Abdul, and Lupita are ready to head out for the day.  Carmen has an exciting day of cleaning planned, so she doesn't go with them.

Natalia visits Angela at the Good Vibes kiosk. She fills her in about the baby being Diego's, then runs off to meet him elsewhere in the mall.  He brought her a stuffed bear. Which is cute.  But it would be cuter if he wasn't married with a kid on the way.

Carmen got stuck taking an unintentional cold shower.  As she shivers and shuffles out to the living room in a towel, someone knocks on the door.  She answers it, thinking it's the kids, but unfortunately, it's Chato.  She goes to get dressed and trips on the towel.  Chato's response: "Oh, please, hit me!  With both hands, so the towel falls again!"  When Carmen finally re-emerges, fully dressed, I ignore all his incoherent quasi-romantic babbling.  And then he asks her to marry him.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos: 5/1/14: Talk To The Hand!

Hola, Amiguis! I have been under the weather since last weekend but I am feeling a bit better.This recap will be short and bulleted so to speak. If I miss something, please add/correct. I have an earworm for you and it's especially for MA and Lupe, What About Love? Shall we begin?

Agt Jen Gomez (Agent Jennifer Gomez) is wanting to talk to Ahole (Alejo) she has some questions for him as both Ahole and Vilma sweat. Ahole is blaming everything on MA of course. Oh, and he went to Italia have they contacted Interpol into his whereabouts? Agt Jen thinks that the familia is living in a hotel in Italia. She'll get right on that, takes candy from Ahole's desk and ends up spilling most of it on his desk.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #106 (Mexico #145) 5/1/14- Marriage is For Obligation Not Love, Sonia, You Are Borlas' Mother and Dr. Santa is Reading His List Over Twice and It Doesn't Add Up!

Happy May Day!  I tried to combine the scenes as much as I could.

The past
The witch doctor slithered in Art's bedroom to remember the old times,  suck face and do the horizontal mambo. 
The present
Her dress came off with one movement and they sucked face some more.  Stupid Art is completely under the witch doctor's spell.
GIl lets Cuca know that Borlas is Sucia's son.  How ironic.  Dan wants to have a family dinner with Mari and Dan to let them know about Borlas.
Dan asks Borlas about the test, he thinks that he passed thanks to Ileane.  He shares that he is in love with Ileana while she thought bubbles about almost kissing him.  She doesnt want to be too confident and think that they are more than friends.  Borlas is not confident enough to ask Ileana if she feels the same.  She is high class and he has a "little thug in him" and he's from the hood. Some girls like a bad boy, oops, I digress)

Qué Pobres Tan Ricos April 30: your blog mom gets her feet wet dipping back into the delicious waters of the surreal landscape of the telenovela world.

Hello friends, it's been what, two years since I watched a single episode of one of our shows? I got my son to show me how to record Que Pobres (because I can't stay up that late for recapping) and I'm going to try to come on board as your Wednesday recapper. I haven't watched a single episode of this show before but I think there was a lot of refrito in this episode so it was a good one to start with. Or (it just occurs to me) did somebody recap this yesterday? Oh well, here it is anyway.

Nepo is good at convincing Wendy, with a combination of bluster and puppy dog eyes, that she should tell him who Lupita's new admirer is. He thinks it is Don Alejo. She confidently swears it's not, but he realizes she knows the identity of the actual pretender to the throne. Not a very good prevaricator, she names an "Angeles Palacios." He wants to call the RP editorial offices but doesn't. "Get a gypsy to read the cards and tell you what you want to know." They take this discussion to the street. She reminds him he could find somebody else (perhaps herself) who would love him even though he's such a brute. Also PSA: the fact he loves Lupita does not give him any rights over her.

Alejo meets his son at school. I think he won't tell Maxi his name. The kid asks "Why did you never look for me before?" "Your mother never told me, she was jealous, it wasn't my fault. But now, you have to trust me. Here's your new cellphone, I am #1 on the speed dial, #1 is me, PAPA. Don't tell your mother."

When the money starts to run out your friends might consider pulling the plug: Lo Que la Vida me Robo Epi 121. 04/30/14

Hello fellow Caray Caray mates, tonight you will get a quick recap from me but I hope to be able to cover everything you need to know, here we go:

Puppy Lake is calling....

We are transported to Argentina, where we see a cute little girl named Victoria getting juice for her parents-Nadia and Victor, both survived the plane crash and although Victor seems fine we realize that poor Nadia lost her sight in the accident-which is a small price to pay in order to be away from her bat shit crazy husband. Victoria wakes her parents up at six am in the morning, and friends I think that any child that wakes anyone up at that hour of the day is just asking to be put up for adoption. The happy family gets ready to start the day and Victor tells Nadia that he is going to the hospital to see Alejandro and asks if she would like to join him-Nadia says she will tag along and they make plans to go after Victoria is in school.

Once they arrive in the hospital Alejandro's doctor approaches them and tells them that they have a serious problem that needs to be discussed. We later learn that the money that has been paying for Alejandro's treatment has started to run out-the hospital is requesting that they pay three months worth of treatment up front and neither Victor nor Nadia have any idea how they will come up with the cash. Victor is making only enough money to pay for their rent and for Victoria's school tuition, even with the little that Nadia brings in from teaching music classes things are tight, one day of treatment would cost them a month's wages, the only solution they can come up with is for Victor to ask for a loan at his job.

Qué Pobres, Weds 4/30/14 (#82): Daddy Issues. The Big Book. Blind Man's Bluff.

Miguel Angelo (MA) and Saul and Tomás
MA meets with Saul at their new hangout, the Popular Café. Saul has the paperwork for the house, as well as the "proof" Mini found earlier on Ahole. MA explains that he's giving the house to the Menchacas because it was his mother who stole the 300 thousand pesos. (He didn't tell Saul that before?)

MA tells Saul he's sure that Bambi hasn't incriminated him. Bambi wasn't even sure who he was. Ah, here comes Tomás. Saul is miffed to have been replaced by what he assumes is a backward, inexperienced youngster and tries to intimidate him: not all of these documents are in Spanish, so you won't understand them. Some of the files are encrypted. Etc. Tom says that's no problem. He's got resources, all kinds of people to help him, including a really good hacker. Ha!

Saul warns MA that once the Menchacas get the deed to the house, they'll kick the rest of the RPs out.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #38- Mon 4/30

De que se emborrachó, se emborrachó 


Yep, it's true…Karina is, in fact, working at the Coffee Shop Company.  And not getting fired, at least for now.  She offers Alonso a freebie with his coffee and he accepts a "cuernito" (horn…either a croissant or a horn-shaped pan dulce with lots of sugar on it).


Diego swears to Natalia that he really hasn't been with Diana since he realized Natalia was the love of his life.  Natalia believes him, but she's still worried about the baby.  They both agree they want to spend the rest of their lives together and smooch on it.


Diana's clothes don't fit and she blames the baby.  She summons Hilda and asks her to get bandages.  She refuses to buy maternity clothes and swears she'll hide her belly until she gives birth.  "But what if it's bad for the baby?"  Hilda asks.  As if Diana would care about that.
