Alejandro Almonte Returns Lo Que La Vida Me Robo Episode 141 05/28/2014
Hi patio peeps! I'm going to just cover our major story lines because I have to be up in a few hours for my sisters graduation, with some luck I'll get three hours of sleep, I hope you enjoy the recap and feel free to fill in anything that I may have missed/skipped.
Alejandro Returns:
Last night Alejandro was outside of Montse's house, the plan was for him to reveal that he had survived the plane crash, little Laurito however put an end to those plans when he saw Alejandro outside of his house, Alejandro did not want his child to find out that he was still alive until he had been prepared by his mother for the news so he ran away and together with his mother came up with plan B which was to lure Montse away from the house and take her to a safe location where Alejandro could show himself without fear of Jose Luis showing up.
Rosario lies to Montse and tells her they have a social engagement to attend, she tells Montse to dress up because it is a formal affair, when Montse suggests calling her husband so that he can meet up with them Rosario discourages her and tells her that the gathering is for women only, they leave the house and later arrive outside the church. Rosario tells Montse that her aunt Carlota would be meeting them there, she then asks her daughter-in law to go in and see if her aunt is already there, she will remain outside just in case Carlota is not inside the church.
Montse goes into the church and a minute later hears for the first time in seven years the voice of the husband she thought had died. Her face registers relief, confusion and happiness, but also anger. After a quick reunion the questions come fast, Montse wants to know why he abandoned her and their child. Where was he for the last seven years? What was he doing? How could he have left without them? Alejandro sits in silence while his wife continues to accuse him of abandonment. He finally tries to explain what happened, but only gets to say "please forgive me" before Montse leads him outside to the place where her father's remains rest, she then shows him an empty grave site with his name on it (dude, they took his last name!)- she explains that she had the grave stone placed so their child could have somewhere to visit his father on special occasions, she says her heart broke when she saw her child talking to an empty grave.
Montse continues her speech and tells Alejandro that she would have rather taken her son to visit him in jail every Sunday than to have had to endure the suffering of the past seven years-she tells him that he has returned to their lives far too late and then turns to walk away, finally Alejandro tells her that he has been in a coma for seven years. She returns and sits by his side, he tells her that the accident happened very quickly, the last thing he remembers is using Victor's phone and speaking to Graciela who told him that Montse had died, when he woke up from his coma he believed her dead and only wanted to return to Agua Azul to find Rosario and his son.
He explains that he arrived in Agua Azul on her wedding day and that he saw her and Jose Luis leave the church together with Laurito calling Jose Luis "daddy", and then he asks why she married Jose Luis. She explains that she remarried because everyone told her it was time to rebuild her life, but mainly because she felt a great amount of gratitude towards JL- after all Jose Luis spent years in jail for a crime that he did not commit and he sacrificed much in order for Montse and Alejandro to be happy. Alejandro asks if she loves Jose Luis and she tells him "no", then he asks if she still loves him and she says that she does, he is her one true love and then they kiss.
Josefina and Adolfo-he really is a giant marsh-mellow
Josefina and Victor discuss the possibility of Adolfo helping Vic stay in contact with Nadia, Vic is unsure of Adolfo and he reminds Fina that Adolfo and Dimitrio once used her in the worst way and she says she remembers but that she knows how to handle Adolfo and that she will do whatever is needed to help Victor and Nadia be together again.
We see Adolfo receive a phone call from Josefina and they agree to meet up. The place that Josefina picked for their meeting is also the same place where they shared their first kiss. Adolfo starts off by telling Josefina that he cares for her, when he sees her he sees the man he was before she left. Josefina gives him a hard time and tells him that he is a good liar, but Adolfo does not give up, he tells her he is being honest with her, he loves her and he is not after her money or anything else. She ribs him some more and says that once he gets her into bed he will dump her, he says that he does want to get her into bed but only because he wants to wake up to her every morning for the rest of their lives, until they are old and wrinkled. He continues and says he wants everything with her, a wedding, a little house with a garden and all the children god can give them. She agrees to give him the benefit of the doubt and they kiss, then she explains that there are two people who need his help and that she needs for him to help them without asking for anything in return.
Adolfo guesses that it's Victor and she tells him he is right, she takes him to her house so that he can meet with Victor.
Fabiola is scared:
In Fabiola's living room she has a little meeting with Pedro and Sandho, she is scared that Alejandro might not be dead and Pedro tells her not to worry, Alejandro is dead and he is not going to get up from his grave in order to seek revenge-and he is right, the dead don't come back to life but people in comas ALWAYS wake up and seek revenge, especially if they are in a telenovela produced by Televisa.
Later that day Sandho meets with Graciela, he tells her Fabiola is freaking out about the possibility of Alejandro still being alive, and that the way to get to her is to try and find her long lost family. Graciela tells him to leave things alone and excuses herself. At the end of the episode she shows up at Fabiola's house and tells her that they need to talk.
In other news, Dimitrio is starting to pack in order to move in to his new crib and I'm starting to think he is really over Josefina! Also, Maria gets her job back on the pole and Jose Luis finds out first hand what it feels like to have people play you for a fool. Karma is a b*tch.
Come back tomorrow for what's bound to be an hour of must see TV!

Que Pobres, 5/28: POBRESUQUI!
So here we have the final segment of the disastrous wedding!
But before we get to that, we have a little blowback from Emiliano's little romp with his dad. Lupe wants to punish her son for scaring her. Mike first tries to console her, then goes for a heart-to-heart with the kid. He makes a speech about how the kid should respect and live with his mom for everything she's done for him. But the kid would rather play the video game Alejo bought him.
Consolation and hugs with Lupe.
Now on to the fun: The guests are rumbling and furious about the thefts. The king of sumatra (I can't remember his name) comes out with his chef hat and tries to distract them with talk of dessert. It doesn't fly. That woman in black (chief of Ana Sofia's frenemies) says it must have been the servants who stole the stuff: "all of us here are so rich and good."That's a disturbing development, but people are mostly just mad at the Ruiz-Palacios. They begin taking back the gifts! The ringleader of the frenemies continues to accuse the Menchacas and says "enough with this 'honorable poor' crap," poor people will always steal."
The detective arrives and asks if all of the guests are still present. Somehow nobody has noticed that the parents of the bride are missing.
Vilma brings Alejo a document (pertaining to custody of the kid, I think) and wants to go with him to talk to Lupe. She wants to be an intimidating presence at the meeting.
Mike suspects Alejo might be merely taking advantage of the kid.
Back at the wedding, Ana Sofia gets more and more sour. The ringleader of frenemies pronounces that the Ruiz-Palacios are broken. Leo mentions that this is going worse than a greek tragedy! The guests want the RP to pay for the stolen stuff. They're going to be pobresuiquis!
Saul the lawyer suspects Minerva may have some info to prove Mike's innocence and suggests Mike use his famed seduction skills to get the info out of her. Mike balks, and Saul is confused why he would have any hangups. "Sure, Lupe's a nice and cute girl, but Minerva is... Minerva." I think Saul has a thing for her.
At the wedding again, the detective reveals that Maca is no royalty. The shit hits the fan. AS comes down on Maca with a shaking fury, the girl admits that her "parents" were merely unemployed actors. AS is crushed and deflated and Leo yelps about not being a count.
Vilma reveals that Alejo may have some property rights over the Menchaca house through the grandma. Will he try to use it as leverage to get Lupe to marry him? Anyway, he asks her to stay behind as he goes in to talk to Lupe. He shows her the custody form and suggests it would be so much easier if they just all lived together. She isn't even remotely convinced.
Ana Sofia is in catastrophe. The ringleader notices that her dress is made of the same fabric as the curtains. This is the humiliation of her life. She begs Jesus for help. King of Sumatra hands her a bottle of booze (yikes! she's an alcoholic! does he think he's helping?). She says "thank you, don jesus."
Maca offers Leo a solution: why don't we just run off and live off of your family's fortune. Uhhhh that's a non-starter. They start to let loose on each other. Leo: "we don't have any money. You're a witch and I'll never be a count!
The Prince of Bananas! He's moping in his room over Leo (god knows why he likes the guy). His dad comes in, assumes it's about a girl, and gives him a speech. See, women are like bees. They give you honey and then sting you. Prince says the venom is worse than bee - it's a scorpion. Later, when Guendy comes in and yaks about the wedding disaster, the prince is horrified to hear the wedding went through and maybe encouraged that such a disaster might mean the marriage is short.
Mike makes a date with a fawning Minerva.
The newlyweds are basically moving in with the Menchacas. The king of Sumatra comes in on the arguing pair and snarkily asks how the royalty is doing. At first they bark at him that "we're doing fine, our marriage will last forever," but they quickly get to fighting furiously. She outs him as gay and tromps off. Once she's gone, an unphased Leo says "I'm not gay, I'm metrosexual." An utterly ruined and drunk Ana Sofia gives a "salud por el metro."
And that's basically it!
Julia - I also liked the sailor-knot crack!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #70/71 5/28/14
De que ella vuelve a él otra vez, otra vez
Rod and the Brat make plans for the evening.
Nat explains Rod’s bad behavior to Irene and Alonso. He lost it over the fabric provider. Irene promises Nat she won’t have to interact with Diego so Nat goes back to her job AGAIN. I think it was Vivi who mentioned that we should keep of tally of how many times she quits Caprico and/or breaks up w/Diego. Irene hopes they will make up and Diego gets rid of his demons. Help me here friends, when did Diego have demons? I know, I know, I’m thinking too hard and my poor tn beanie may burst. Irene also says perhaps he will apologize and propose and Nat says if he did so, I’d be dubious. Ah but would you really Nat?

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulo 140. 05/27/14.
Sorry folks. Something happened to the channel and 3/4 of the show was pink screen. I tried looking online for it and nothing. Think Televisa has been cleaning house. So I will re-cap what I could see. Please fill in what was missed in the comments section if you were able to see it (I have DISH).
Ok, so today is not my day. I wrote an kick-a$$ re-cap (well a short one anyway) and POOF! gone!!!! I don't know what button I pressed or if it is somewhere around here, but I am doing another one. This unforuntately will be short. Enjoy.

Wow, tonight we got to see the mighty deception begin to crumble - the cracks are widening and water is spurting through, but the dam will break tomorrow!

De que volvió a renunciar, volvió a renunciar.
Morales follows Irene and pulls her over. At the station, El asks Alonso if he's sure he wants to continue with whatever they've cooked up. Al is sure.
Brigitte and Karina continue to plot against Irene and Alonso.
Morales claims that a car matching Irene's has been reported as stolen. He inspects the car and calls it in. He wants to see the car's registration, but they aren't in the car. More comps show up. They keep talking about a 1028 and won't answer Irene's questions. They ask her to come to the station
Rod yells at Rosa and then calls a sketchy guy. Apparently Diego fired this guy for fraud, but Rod wants to hire him back. They will meet later.
Grumps comes looking for Irene. Nat covers for Irene. Bri realizes she's covering for Irene and Nat lets it slip that Irene is with Al. Bri decides to be proactive for Karina's sake.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #66/67- Mon 5/26
De que lo que temíamos no pasó, no pasó
Randy Rod and his hot rod volunteer to find a romantic place to have his way with Natalia.
Irene is in a hideous mood and takes it out on Natalia, who shows up late. Brigitte is loving that Natalia's the one getting yelled at today.
Randy Rod makes a hotel reservation for tonight. He fakes his way through greeting Irene and asking about…um…er…Tad…whoever that is. He then sends her to Vicente's office ahead of him to buy himself time to look for the paperwork alone.
Nurse Irma pumps Rod's doctor for info so she can keep Diego coma-ing on. He thinks she's hitting on him and invites her to dinner. It's so rare to find a woman who's interested in talking about coma drugs.
Vicente has been scouting and selecting fabric suppliers for Eskenda. Irene's feeling blindsided by that and concerned about the quality of the fabric, since she assumes Vicente will be most interested in price. Randy Rod asks for Eskenda to have control of, and funding for, its own budget and Vicente, surprisingly, agrees. Of course, we all know he's doing it to bilk the company, but Vicente probably sees it as a way to keep the entire company from getting dragged down by Eskenda.

Qué Pobres, Lunes 5/26/14 (#100): A Sea of Porca Miseria
Wowie wow wow. Hold onto your sombreros!
Ana Sofia takes one look at the decorations (balloons) for the wedding and complains that they are a monument to poor taste. (It takes one to know one!) That and more verbal abuse from AS induces Lupe to quit "Until you apologize."
Miguel Angel happens by and tries to get his mother to apologize. Even Leo, unsure as he is about this wedding, begs her to make nice. AS says it is humiliating, but she will do it for her children: she averts her eyes, gazes skyward, and utters a feeble "Sorry."
Over MA's protests ("Apologize to Lupe, not to the birds, air, and trees!"), Lupe accepts the weak gesture of contrition but reminds AS to respect the rest of the Menchacas as well.
Carmela leaves Emiliano at Paco's house and tells Paco's mother that Lupe will come for him this evening.
Mini and Isela prepare to crash the wedding.
AS tries to get Perla to lose the flower in her hair, but Lupe intervenes. The flower can stay! Perla offers to get one for AS. (Declined!) Later, AS bad-mouths the indoor decorations with Leo when the Menchacas approach... she quickly changes her tune, says everything looks great, and even thanks them. (Briefly.)
Confidentially, Leo asks the Menchacas of the decorations: "I have just one question: Why the Styrofoam?"

Mendoza
Mansion: In her endless attempt at defrauding anyone out of the
most money she could, Gracie asked Pedro Medina for help.
“Help
me destroy Fabiola Guillen.”

you're looking to destroy could be the daughter you had with Benjamín

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: La Impostora, week of May 26, 2014
As you probably know, La Impostora isn't on tonight, Monday. Telemundo is trying to get you all excited about El Señor de los Cielos 2, which premieres on Tuesday (and which will be discussed on The Front Page).
Sorry folks. You'll have to wait until Tuesday for a new episode of this one.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of May 26, 2014
Tonight Telemundo is dedicating its primetime slot to getting everyone hyped up about the Tuesday premiere of El Señor de los Cielos 2, which replaces Camelia. That means fans of En Otra Piel (and La Impostora) will have to wait until Tuesday for their next novela fix. (Not that these shows are addictive or anything...)

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 138, Fri., 5/23/14: The Honeymoon is Over, and the Dirty Secrets are Busting Out All Over
Eating With The Enemy
In a dinner table scene they have surely played many times before, Graciela needles EZ about his dirty money, he reminds her she is free to leave any time, and she reminds him of their deal (Does she mean that she gets to live in the Mendoza-Basurto house until she dies?) He acknowledges the final point with a good-natured smile. (Maybe he has reason to believe that endpoint will arrive sooner rather than later.)
A Soul in Pain
After her barbed exchange with Ezequiel, Graciela retreats to her bedroom. She is startled by Alejandro's sudden emergence from the shadows, though she rapidly recovers her imperious bearing. How dare he just materialize out of nowhere like that, like a specter! (como si fueras un alma en pena: as if you were a ghost/a lost soul).
Alejandro has come to say he is leaving Aguazul. He has, however, one condition: she is not to tell anyone -- not the police and especially not Pedro Medina -- that she has seen him. They snarl and circle and show their excellent teeth: he has some nerve making demands on her; she'll be sorry if she opens her mouth. In the end, she says she'll keep quiet about him, but only because it's in her own interest to do so.

Que pobres tan Ricos #99 May 23, 2014... pre-wedding jitters... One nervous groom, one proud mama, one miffed bride, two fake in-law thieves and two suspicous siblings, stir it all together, pour in baking pan and bake until Monday
We get some pretty good sight-seeing seconds (are they near Guadalajara?, that is west coast about center of mex... near Guanajuato and Puerto Vallarta, right?)…
School playground, Emi spots A-hole and runs to him. A-hole fakes happy to see him. Says Emi’s new shoes are ugly. Offers to buy him whatever tennis shoes he wants. Lupe not amused. That’s not how it is. A-hole argues his case. What’s the problem? Lupe says won’t allow him to buy expensive shoes for Emi. She lets Emi walk away with A-hole. A-hole takes jacket off to play with him. He is obviously not enjoying himself when Lupe is not looking.
Hacienda: AS, Leo and Frida arrive, the employee leads them around. MA arrives. Leo is eager to introduce MA to his new in-laws. AS and DaVinci are still wearing the matching gray outfits. AS criticizes MA’s outfit, even though he looks good. He says he has not much money, he bought the best he found at a second hand store. Frida says it might not look the best but they might not notice it. AS says our future depends on it. It is the end of one ‘world’ and the beginning of another.
Lupe says we gotta go. Emi asks A-hole when will see him again. A-hole says don’t get your mommy mad at you. Whenever you need you can call me. Emi says Lupe took his phone away. A-hole gives him a card to use to call him. Emi and A-hole walk back to Lupe. A-hole has a last gift for Emi. It is a playstation Vita.
At hacienda, the condes have arrived, AS says it is ‘our’ hacienda ‘our house is your house’. Maca introduces the ‘parents’ the ‘condes’. AS introduces her family. The bowing is significantly overdone by MA who almost puts his head on his knees. The ‘countess’ clarifies they should keep referring to them as ‘the countess’ . The count is not so demanding. Salomon interferes and gives the condes his business card ‘for whatever you might need’. They all go inside except AS and Salomon.

School playground, Emi spots A-hole and runs to him. A-hole fakes happy to see him. Says Emi’s new shoes are ugly. Offers to buy him whatever tennis shoes he wants. Lupe not amused. That’s not how it is. A-hole argues his case. What’s the problem? Lupe says won’t allow him to buy expensive shoes for Emi. She lets Emi walk away with A-hole. A-hole takes jacket off to play with him. He is obviously not enjoying himself when Lupe is not looking.
Hacienda: AS, Leo and Frida arrive, the employee leads them around. MA arrives. Leo is eager to introduce MA to his new in-laws. AS and DaVinci are still wearing the matching gray outfits. AS criticizes MA’s outfit, even though he looks good. He says he has not much money, he bought the best he found at a second hand store. Frida says it might not look the best but they might not notice it. AS says our future depends on it. It is the end of one ‘world’ and the beginning of another.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero 5/23/14 Episodes #64 and 65
De que se despertó el diablo, se despertó el diablo.
I didn't take any notes and I didn't pay close attention. I'll get up early tomorrow and write a recap for realz. Oh, and Diana was an angel compared to the new crop of demons.

- Eleazar is going to invest his life savings in helping Carmen out. They are going to become business partners. They throw in some smoochies for good measure...but don't think they are officially off the ground yet. Be sure to see the scene where Abdul interrupts Eleazar's profession of love. Cynthia and Marcelo are masterful. Holy crap I love watching these two consummate actors.
- Rodrigo is awake and despite a few flubs, he's passing himself off as Diego (albeit a Diego that is behaving oddly.) And he's going to be wreaking havoc. He plans to empty Diego's bank accounts and take Natalia's virginity. While he waits for Nat, he'll be getting his nookie from Brigitte and Irma.
- Speaking of Irma, she warns Rod that there are grave consequences to keeping Diego in a coma too long. One of which is permanent amnesia. Rod doesn't give hoot. He figures that will even things up after losing two years of his life. Irma has to give Diego an extra dose since the drug doesn't seem to keep Diego in a very deep coma. Rod wants her to do something and he'll pay her well for it. He tells her to open and account so he can make the transfer. This is the second time a character has had to open an account. Chato took Lupita to a bank. I bet a bank is the product placement.
- "Diego" tries to convince Vicente to pull the plug on "Rodrigo." Vicente doesn't want to. Thank heaven.

Weekend Discussion: TVyNovela Award Shows
By CorazonSalvaje:
Ignacio Sada Madero has a
Simplemente Maria remake in the works (He is one who is capable of
writing good novelas which are often overlooked but honestly mentioned
with affection. La Intrusa comes to mind and I think the ONLY reason(s)
Bajo Las Riendas del Amor was rebuffed at the Premios TVyNovelas is
because Mejia was associated with it. That and Destilando Amor robbing
everything cough-Pasion-cough. I think the only awards I agreed with
that year were the ones going to Lola Erase Una Vez and Pasion albeit 2
each. I think-
TBLMOE or Ed. Santamarina deserved best homme lead (but let's be real, all three leads were worthy of the prize. The only other lead was Gabriel Soto whom I can't stand.)
Angelica Rivera or Adriana Fonseca deserved best femme lead (Tie please!)
Adamariz Lopez deserved best femme fatale (but Daniela Castro was worthy as well. Keep in mind I include Bajo Las Riendas since it WAS a Carla Estrada refrito which was harassed by Mejia. So in a way, she has 2 things for her LOL)
Bouffy or Alexis Ayala deserved best homme fatale)
Ana Martin deserved her award but I'm a sucker for Silvia Mariscal.
Marisol and German from Pasion deserved their awards.
Direccion de Camaras- Lola Erase Una Vez just because.
Escenas-Destilando Amor (was there a love scene in a barn? I remember one that was hot. Either that or Pasion because of Bouffy's decapitation scene.)
The revelation award does deserve to go to Eiza but her nominee Ariadne deserved it as well. Maybe a tie (in 2012, there was a tie for it with Laura Carmine and Alejandra Garcia.)
Best kid role went to Octavio Ocana which I agree with just because I wanted Lola Erase Una Vez to win in all it's 3 nominations LOL. (Danna Paola could have begged for a tie however.)
What is your opinion on these shows?
Hey I wanted to make a Weekend Discussion. Since you guys are
always saying the TVyNovelas Award Shows are rigged, we can discuss to
whom we'd give the prizes to.
(I'll start it like this.)
So I noticed you guys make remarks about the TVyNovelas
Award Shows which I have come to agree with. I feel as well that these
shows are unfair at times but the fairest I think I've seen are 1999 (El
Privilego de Amar taking them all is perfectly fine.) and 2014 (Amores
Verdaderos taking a majority is OK as well.)
TBLMOE or Ed. Santamarina deserved best homme lead (but let's be real, all three leads were worthy of the prize. The only other lead was Gabriel Soto whom I can't stand.)
Angelica Rivera or Adriana Fonseca deserved best femme lead (Tie please!)
Adamariz Lopez deserved best femme fatale (but Daniela Castro was worthy as well. Keep in mind I include Bajo Las Riendas since it WAS a Carla Estrada refrito which was harassed by Mejia. So in a way, she has 2 things for her LOL)

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 137 - Alejandro Reunites With His Mother - 22 May 2014
There were several interwoven themes in tonight's show:
• Josefina facilitates the mother and child reunion between Alejandro and Rosario.
• The two have a tender meeting. Bring at least two handkerchiefs.
• Josefina tells Rosario that Dimitrio will never forgive her for the way she ended their marriage. She does not blame him for being angry with her. She does not mention that she would have a GREAT deal to forgive Dimitrio in order for the two of them to build a new relationship.
• Monica dumps Dimitrio because she does not perceive that he is ready for an adult relationship.
• Refugio confesses to Dimitrio that there are times that the last place he would like to be is home.
• Amalia visits Esmeralda and offer to throw her a baby shower. Esme tells her that the baby will be named "Angel" in honor of Angelica.
• Dimitrio confesses to Refu that he wants a wife, a home and a family.
• Nadia meets with Adolfo and he swears to protect her and his niece, Victoria.
• Nadia receives a antique cart full of flowers and she recognizes it as a signal that Victor is alive and will fight for she and Victoria.
• Susana confirms to Nadia that she spoke with Victor and that he is alive.
• Susana takes the flowers away in order to not trigger Pedro's suspicions about Victor.
• Rosario tells Alejandro that Montserrat, Jose Luis and Laurito will be away on their honeymoon for two weeks.
• Alejandro vows to recover his prize possessions—Montserrat and Laurito. He makes his mother swear to tell no one that he is back in Aguazul.
• Alejandro needs to clear his name and prove his innocence before he can make a PUBLIC return to Aguazul.
• Sadly, Pedro sees the cart of flowers and is tweaked. Victor is a romantic fool.
• Pedro calls Adolfo and demands to know the content of his conversation with Nadia.
• Pedro orders Adolfo to look for Victor, and, if he finds him, to kill Victor on the spot.
• Pedro continues to verbally abuse Nadia and demands that Victoria learn to meet him after a long hard day with a smile on her face.
• When Graciela gets mouthy with EZ Basurto and Carlota about the source of EZ's fortune, EZ reminds her that the food on her plate and the bed she sleeps in are there because of his money. If she thinks the money was made in an illicit manner the front door behind her is wide and it is open. She can leave anytime she wants.
• We do not see hide nor hair of the newlyweds or Laurito.
Please discuss and enjoy!

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #62 and #63 5/22/14
De que estamos dando vueltas el desagüe, el desagüe
Hola amigas/os. The quick and dirty is the first hour was fun and laughs and the second hour sets us up for future gloom and doom. To keep things fun, I’ve decided to enter certain of the more obnoxious characters into what I call the Audacity Olympics. Perhaps the Uni cuts got to me but the boldness of some of our more wretched characters saying incredibly, insensitive things really got to me this evening.
Old Stuff – Chato opening the limo door and his children all coming out along with their mothers. They hand him a pic of Carmen alone at the altar and say, Carmen’s says you are even now. Chato screams.

De Que Te Quiero Te Quiero #60 and #61 5/21/14
De que están incluso, son aún
Quick notes though these are episodes 60 and 61 based on titles and Uni's edits it looks like we saw episodes 61, 62, and 63. I continue to hate Uni!!
Rod and Irma discuss his options for faking out his impending tests. She says to induce a coma, I say YES! Rod doesn’t look to happy.
Diego chats with the Doc and inadvertently get Irma in trouble (she should not have asked him about the tests). Rod seems to be an anomaly b/c of the weight gain and return of color. They go to see Rod and he says nasty things under silently (Diego – give me a sign you are alive; Rod – if I punch you will you never touch me again). Still pulling for the coma and his not returning though I know that’s pretty much a fantasy like me seeing El getting any action any time soon.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #136, 5-21-2014: No Te Queda Nada Más, Alejandro! Our Poor Galán Lives Out the Grim Promise of this TN's Theme Song
Lo refrito: Graciela screams at Rosario to shut up already with the gratuitous advice about the way Gracie treats her children when Rosario knows nothing about Gracie's situation or past. Gracie adds in some bitter recriminations about the fact that Rosario has alienated Graciela from her own children while simultaneously gloating in the knowledge that Rosario had to pay the price of losing her own beloved son, Alejandro.
Lordy, that's some impressive combo of bitterness and spitefulness!
