De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #134/135- Wednesday 7/16
In the morning over breakfast, Nat and Carmen don’t really discuss what happened the night before but do talk about alt-Angie or the character formerly known as Angela (as I won’t accept what the writers have done). Mally and Abdul join them and Carmen offers her alt-Angie’s job.
Carmen calls El and Kimmy answers, Carmen’s ticked.
Rod throws the wrench away and Big Al appears.
Nat arrives at the hospital and tells Irene she and Diego are over (but we all know its only for now).

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó #176, 7/16/14: Adolfo proposes; Pedro disposes--or at least tries a few things to exact vengeance.
Red Sky at Morning, Melodrama Warning! |
For us in Viewerville it's been mere 24 hours since the events of Capitulo 175, but for our friends in that anomaly of space-time that is Agua Azul, México, a whole year has passed since just last night! During that year, some of them seem to have been given a reprieve from the drama and had a much-deserved spate of fairly ordinary life off-screen; others have continued on their various downward spirals. But it looks like the storm clouds of crazy are gathering and our Aguazuleños are now worthy of filming again. Let's check in on as many of them as we can:
In Her Beautiful House by the Sea
Still beautiful Montserrat is sitting in the living room with her adorable and well-behaved children, Laurito and Romina. We learn that Romina has just begun to walk and that if Laurito were a US citizen he would be a firm supporter of Title IX as he is impatient to be able to play fútbol with her. The doorbell rings. In bursts José-Luis still sporting his sport coat and bright T-shirt look, eager to see his little girl. It's worth noting that she begins crying as soon as he takes her from Montserrat.
Very savvy toddler who knows a Galán B when she sees one |

Lo Que la Vida me Robo 175 07/15/2014: Look at what I can do with this gun ma'
A new baby has been born, sadly her daddy is a nut job:
At the hacienda everyone rejoices at the birth of a new baby, both baby and mother are healthy and plans are made for both to make a trip back to Agua Azul for a check up. Alejandro Almonte, who is beautiful-but sadly not very bright, tries to reassure his wife by telling her that he will accept the baby as if she were his own, heck, he even says that although it is not possible he would love for the baby to be named Alejandra.
Jose Luis, the baby daddy just happens to walk in right at the moment and he is not a happy camper, he goes off on Alejandro and Montserrat asking them what's wrong with them, how dare they try and name the baby without his input? She is his daughter and he will name her! I kinda want to suggest that they toss a coin and whoever wins gets to name her, problem solved!

Que Pobres tan Ricos Tuesday July 15: Tizoc and Emiliano are insufferable.
- Carmela told Mike she'd try to talk Lupita around, and she's good to her word...
... but first Lupita has to faint, then tell everybody she's fine and she'll get checked out later. Chuy is worried. Perla says thoughtfully, "and she isn't even taking anything... uh, vitamins I mean" ...

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #132/133- Tuesday 7/15
The following recap has been composed under extreme emotional distress. It will be out of order and in my usual squirrely way.
I still think they are editing the parts where everyone drops acid or smokes crack or otherwise suffers some psychotic break. I have no other explanation for the absolutely out-of-chartacter actions I witnessed tonight.
The Investigation
The writers have decided we need a dose of realism. Morales is doing the investigation thing and questioning Hilda. Tiburcio sits in the background and makes moaning sounds. Hilda lets Morales search the garden. Vicente receives a call from his friend Rodolfo the procurador. Morales is *thisclose* to finding the wrench when Vicente throws him off the property for searching without a warrant.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #130/131- Mon 7/14
Brigitte is relieved to hear from Alonso that Alberto visited Rodrigo, but things didn't seem to "get very far" between them. She wants him to call Al's parents, but Alonso doesn't want to worry them if he doesn't need to. Brigitte decides she doesn't want to wait alone and calls Carmen, but Carmen is busy waiting for Natalia to come home. "Natalia, Natalia, Natalia!" whines Brigitte yet again. Hey, there you are, Brat…wondered where you'd gotten to! Carmen says Natalia's had a rough day, what with finding out who her "real" parents are. Brigitte and Lupita are both surprised to hear this.
Lupita goes to tell Paolo and drags him out to the living room so they can interrogate Carmen.
Carmen tells Brigitte who Natalia's parents are. Brigitte says "Why's she upset, then? This is like winning the lottery!" Carmen gets tired of Brat's attitude, so Brat gives her some more, saying of course she's having a worse day that Nat. Lupita wonders how Tad is Nat's father if he didn't, um, have anything to do with Carmen. Carmen gives them the deets. Paolo figures Tad and Irene must be thrilled to have found her.
Padre Juancho finishes giving her the story and apologizes on behalf of…pretty much everybody who knew…for not being able to find the right time to tell her. PJ suggests she be thankful for having 3 awesome parents and just treat Irene with the same affection she always has.
Carmen keeps telling Paolo and Lupita about the great Telling Nat debacle. Irene shows up and Paolo and Lupita welcome Irene to the family. PJ calls Carmen and tells her Nat listened to his explanations and seemed calmer.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of July 14, 2014
Even though a lot of people are watching and commenting, no one, as yet, has volunteered to recap on a regular basis. Mauricio and Sara stepped up to help in the first week, and I did a couple of minicaps too. For week two, I've agreed to write a brief summary of Monday's episode; Sara has volunteered to recap Wednesday and Friday.
Is anyone interested in writing a brief recap of Tuesday's or Thursday's episode this week?
Is anyone interested in recapping this one regularly?
Folks, if no one volunteers, we'll just have comments. It's up to you!
Have a wonderful week!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE -- El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of July 14, 2014
While it was kind of nice to have our conversations crossing each other and for us to read over each other's shoulders on one page, at a certain point it becomes unwieldy. It began to feel as if Cielos and En Otra Piel were being drowned out.
So this is the new page for Cielos, En Otra Piel and any other Telemundo or Unimás show you feel like discussing.
Reina de Corazones comments and mini-recaps will be on a separate page.
Have a great week!

Que Pobres tan Ricos #134 A-hole sues Chuy about the Menchaca house. Emiliano continues to act A-holish. Saul tries to get MA to retake his old richy rich life... Chuy's mystery is revealed!! MAAAATIII!! MAAAATIII!!!
Lupe tells A-hole she’s not afraid of him. He asks if she will bring a wrestler to fight him. Lupe says she is enough on her own to fight with nails and teeth for her son. A-hole changes strategy and gets pleading, asks her to come be a family with him and Emiliano. Lupe is confused at his change of statement. A-hole tries to convince her that she is and will always be the most important for Emiliano. You have nothing to lose.
MA yelling at the staff at the senior center. The manager says he was given paperwork for the woman as Matilde widow of RP… MA is still outraged.
Saul is more calm and asks them who brought Mati in. Was it ARP? Nurse says ARP sent Mati, but the one that brought her was a nurse that used to work for us(the senior home) but quit recently.
Now A-hole is trying to make Lupe believe that she is unstable temper-wise… A-hole reminds Lupe that the school director is witness to Lupe losing her cool in front of Emiliano. (come on Lupe! Wake up and smell the rat!!) Emiliano comes over and is all lovey-dovey with A-hole. Lupe is just frozen there… she even lets Emiliano go alone with A-hole.(she is THAT shocked... about how well these two get together?).
At Fonda, AS is still whinning with herself about having come back to live in the 'cuchitril'. Leo and Frida outside the penthouse door are coaching each other to calm down before they walk in. Leo gives AS two options… we either 1) stay here or 2) we go to the shelter of the indigents(basically homeless shelter).
AS wants booze. Leo and Frida won’t give her any. Leo takes DaVinci on his arm and asks AS to breathe. AS takes DaVinci back and tells DaVinci that he is the only one that understands her. (I missed the detail that Leo told DaVinci that he needed to raise his hand/leg to speak LOL! thanks forum friends!)
MA and Saul out on the street, MA is really ansi, he has to find out NOW where abuela is.
At Fonda, Chuy does not like seeing Lupe so down in spirits. Lupe says lets talk about the finances… we have a lot of expenses and have to figure out where to get more moolah. She tells Tizoc he needs to go get a job and help out. Tizoc says he is only good for ‘the cantata’. Emiliano comes down. Lupe asks him what is up. Emiliano says ‘I am fed up with eating the same thing every day. Can’t we eat something different?’ Lupe is not liking at all seeing Emiliano talk like this, so asks him 'what do you prefer? To eat or not to eat?'

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 172 - 10 July, 2014 - Stuck On Replay: Another Of Maria’s Plots Bites The Dust
It Looks Like Jose Luis Will Allow Montserrat To Leave—Maybe
Jose Luis wants to know if Montserrat would forgive a betrayal from Alejandro. Whatever happens, he will be there waiting. Montserrat goes to pack her bags. Tomorrow she will leave the house.
I’ll Just Take The Houses and Lands; Thanks
Over at the judge’s chambers, Father Anselmo, the judge and Alejandro meet. The judge tells Padre that he trusts him completely but his declaration is too late. Father Anselmo emphatically retorts that it is never late to correct an injustice. But the judge clarifies that the tests run on the document prove forever and anon that Alejandro is the only true heir of Benjamin Almonte. Padre’s declaration does not clear Alejandro because he is already proven to be the rightful Almonte heir. As of this moment he has recovered his name, Alejandro Almonte Dominguez and all that goes with it. Congratulations!
Father Anselmo praises God for being very just. Despite all that has happened nothing has dimmed his faith. Padre encourages Alejandro and hopes he has learned from his previous errors.
Alejandro tells the Father that he is very fortunate. Not only is he recovering his name, but he is also recovering his family.
The Judge tells them that his decision is absolutely irrevocable but that it might take a while for Alejandro to recover everything. But Alejandro is way ahead of everyone else. He says that Fabiola has transferred ALL of the money to another person. He doesn’t want a penny of the money anyway. Anselmo is appalled by yet another miscarriage of justice, and he asks,
“Who ended up with the money?”
“Graciela Mendoza,” answers Alejandro.
The Judge recognizes her name as the woman who formerly perjured herself in the matter of Don Benjamin’s will. Padre Anselmo wants to know – How did that happen?

Qué Pobres, Jueves 7/10/14 (#133): Carrots and Sticks
So MA makes his triumphant return to the fonda, and Lupita greets him with a punch in the face. MA has no idea why, but he tries to apologize anyway, and he even mentions the letter (that he doesn't know Lupita never got) but Lupe is too angry to think about it.
MA says he apologized to Mini too, and she took it a lot better than Lupe is, "and then something weird happened." Again, Lupe is too angry to focus on the "something weird" and thinks "apology" is a strange way to describe being naked in bed with Minerva. (Perla and Carmelita are listening at the door, by the way.)
MA doesn't know what Lupe is talking about and says "wow, after all this time I would have thought you'd know me better than that" and Lupe replies sarcastically "you're right about that!" She gives back his swanky hand-crafted upcycled PVC engagement ring, but don't worry! Her finger won't be naked very long!

The return Lo que LA Vida me robo 171 07/09/2014
Dude,our mom is a scumbag:
Fabiola, our resident drunk is now behind bars, how she has managed to survive without her wine is anyone's guess, she tells her new found siblings that Graciela is a big fake, everything about her is a lie, including her name. She explains that Amalia told her the truth about Graciela, she was born in poverty to a seamstress and her real name is Gaudencia! She also explains that she got tricked into transferring all her money to one of her mothers accounts only to be ditched. Alejandro and Montserrat feel for her-and Alejandro offers to get her a lawyer to help reduce the time she spends in prison but he makes it clear that he can not forgive her and he tells her that she needs to pay for the fraud she committed and for stealing seven years of his life.

Pobres, Wednesday: World-cup shunting claims another victim
I couldn't find recordings of the episode in the usual places online, so I'll just do what I can with what i've got!
Lupita is confused - where's her boyfriend? The family attempts to comfort her. Leo also wonders where he is, wants to call the policuqui, but Saul says they gotta wait 24 hours.
HAHAHA Mini, her mom, and Ahole struggling to heave Mike into the bed. Ahole wants the discovery to seem natural and insults the ladies (he calls them plásticas).
Emiliano continues to be a little twerp. Lupe's mom wants her to chill out and drink her tea.
Don Chuy is caught on a mysterious mission (is he going to get booze for AS or something)?
At the hospital (AS got put there for drinking), Leo says bye to Diego who has been there with him all night for Leo (what a mensch, she's always been so awful to him). Diego leaves to go teach futbol.
Ahole shows up to try to drive Lupita and Emiliano, presumably to take the kid to school and then just "happen" to discover Mike w/ Mini.
Saul has clearly sold himself out, and he goes whole-hog into a product placement for cellphones so noxious I couldn't even make out what the pretense was. They even play that tinkly commercial music in the background. Uniphone?
Here's the worst thing I saw tonight... Ana Sofia tells her son that she'll only consider getting better and going to AA if he breaks up with the futbolista. SO bad. Yuk yuk yuk.
Anybody who stuck with the show till the end (it must have been midnight or later), please fill us in with what else happened. Thanks!!!!!!!

Mi Corazón es Tuyo (My Heart is Yours) - Main Characters
Ana (Silvia Navarro)
is in a job she despises, and she has just lost the home she struggled to own… she knows she has to “start over”…
On account of some clerical error at an employment agency, Ana finds herself applying for the job of “nanny” to a wealthy widower, Fernando Lascuraín, with seven difficult children. Somehow, without credentials and/or a cultured background, Ana manages to charm the children and make them show signs of beginning to recover from the loss of their mother.
Meanwhile, Fernando, their father pursues a woman with a suitable pedigree, but it becomes increasingly obvious that he smitten with Ana, and Ana is smitten with him!
Fernando Lascurain (Jorge Salinas)
appreciates order and discipline. He is father of seven kids and has been a widower for a year now. He doesn't drink, smoke, or otherwise enjoy the finer things in life..... As a businessman, he is widely respected, especially since he heads a finance company. He's totally buried himself in his work, thinking to provide his kids with the very best in life, but has actually neglected giving them what they need most: his love and his affection. Ana's arrival will have a great impact on him as it will awaken his passion for life, now gone since the death of his wife.
Isabela Vázquez de Castro (Mayrín Villanueva)
is the object of Fernando's affections, but his kids don't want her around. She's a sophisticated executive with a number of Masters' Degrees from numerous universities around the world. She's extremely beautiful and knows it. Her gain, everybody else's loss..... The woman is calculating and manipulative and could care less who she steps on to get what she wants--and she wants Fernando.....along with the status and life of unbounded luxury that being Sra. Lascurain offers. However, his kids care for Ana more.
Diego Lascurain (Pablo Montero) is Fernando's brother and polar opposite. He lacks commitment, has lots of charm and loves to party.
Bruno (René Casados) is the loyal majordomo of the Lascurain manse.
Jennifer (Fabiola Campomanes) is Ana's crass best friend and a waitress at Club Chicago.
Yolanda (Carmen Salinas)
Johnny (Adrián Uribe) is Ana's current, loser boyfriend and her manager.
