Enjoy!

La Malquerida #13: 9/10/14: Too Close For Comfort

Hola Amiguis. This will be a brief just the facts M'am type of recap. Love Hurts.

Shall we begin?

Manuel and Cris have a talk about school.

Esteban and Acacia talk about the central commercial center project and he may have a way to help Ulises. Just wait and see what Eseteban does.

German and Ale do lunch, he's going to give her a credit card, manana. German loves seeing her smile.

Acacia still feels responible for what happened to Ulises and the project. Ulises tells her not to worry, he will find a way.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #38, 10 Sep 2014... Witch Mother moves in the house and acts all entitled... Bruno and Manuela start suffering... Fer and IsaBruja are enjoying their honey-gloom...

Refrito:


At Mansion:

Diego trying to convince Ana that Nico will understand her situation and won’t cause trouble with Fer. Ana not so sure. Diego even offers to carry her and take her in his bike… she passes on the first, takes his offer on the latter. She does not want to be too late so Ino-Doro won’t cause her more trouble.

At club:

Nico arrives, Dana (Jen’s friend) greets him. Diego joins them… tells Nico ‘wait till you see THE show’. At dressing room, Ana checks on Jen and her treatments. Ana is doing ok… Jen is getting some skin discoloration. Still bringing up the subject of ‘that which has no remedy’ (her not being able to have kids)

At Cozumel (I will be there in Nov as a stop in a cruise trip) Isa is doing her best to seduce Fer… he seems to be willing and follows along, even though the one doing all the ‘love you’ talking is IsaBruja.

(CUT!!!  Fer sees an image of Ana very nicely dressed, questioning his having told her 'I love you’ vs what he is doing now)

Isa tries to get him to come back to earth… he asks her for a moment… he is a bit ‘out of it’. And spits his favorite word of late… ‘perdoname’. (sorry). Then he walks away… Isa is a bit confused, a bit miffed.

At Club:

Ana talks on microphone… says her true name, instantly calling Nico’s attention. Nico is in disbelief. Diego tells Jen ‘no worries, I talked to Ana ‘bout this’. Ana confirms to Nico it is the one and only… She tells the crowd that here is a person she admires and respects… and even asks for an applause for Nico. Then she mentions that Jennis just came out of a serious illness ‘I love you sis!’ and then she tells the crowd that she twisted her ankle… but she will give the audience her best effort… welcome to Chicago!

Jen explains to Nico that she could not tell him that she and Ana have known each other a long time… Jen asks Nico for forgiveness for the little lie…’I will think about it’ (but with a wide smile on his face).

Ana does her show, this time it is Diego who does not miss a beat of it (Fer did it a while back) and she is better than ever… very high on the pole, upside down and spinning around on her legs… Even Ino-Doro is very pleased with her performance tonight.

La Gata #8 9/10/14- La Propuesta

Wednesday is supposed to be just a discussion header, but like Kat last week I can't bring myself to just post a header. Too much happened tonight!!! Unfortunately, I'm a lazy son of a gun and it's not a full recap. Just bullets (some of which I wish were real. I'd aim them right between Rita's eyes. Old hag.)
  • The Meatball (El Italiano) is wrestled to the ground by Esme and Pablo. Luckily no one is shot. El Italiano leaves in a huff. He yells at Rita because he still can't have his Gata (my mind is in the gutter right now.)
  • Pablo goes off somewhere and Mariano takes the opportunity to tell Esme that Pablo actually has a girlfriend already and it's Monica. Of course this upsets me..er..Esme terribly and she begins to cry (while I curse the TV.) Mariano then decides to tell her he was just kidding. He needed to see how much she really cared about his bro. So not cool.
  • Later Mariano tells Lorenza that Pablo and Esme are the real deal. Lorenza confronts Pablo. It's either La Gata or his family. Pablo will choose Esme of course. That evening, Lorenza monologues. If that girl wants war, war she'll get! We'll see who wins!
  • Lorenza gives Monica tips on how to win Pablo.
  • Pablo misses a play date with Esmeralda. Esme is filled with doubt.

Mi Corazón Cap #37 Highlights

[Highlights from Jarifa and Martivett --Thanks a million to both of you!!]


Fernando with a "deer in the headlights" look and after being brought back to reality by Isabela finally says "I do". It is very surreal for him.

At that point, Ana cannot take any more and trips on her way out of the church and interrupts the ceremony. Diego follows her. She goes to the emergency room and has a sprain. They leave and go to have some street food. He tells her of his international adventures.

Fernando and Isabela leave in the limo and are smooching in the back.

Fanny explains "honeymoon" to younger kids.

Yolanda shows up demanding to know where her room will be. Bruno shows her a vacant room and she is not impressed and goes back to her house to say goodbye to Isabela before she goes on her honeymoon.

La Gata #7 9/9/14- La Amenaza

I had to attend a reception at hubby's office tonight. Luckily, we were able to make a quick appearance and get the heck out of dodge. I'm kind of beat though, so I just watched the episode and this is by no means a complete and "in order" recap. Please fill in the gaps.

La Pelea
While Esmeralda is supposed to be getting coffee for El Italiano, she catches Ines making out with El Garabato (El Doodle.) The two girls get into a huge cat fight. Esmeralda tries to warn Doña Rita that Ines is going to end up sleeping with El Doodle. Does it surprise anyone that Rita takes Ines's side? Rita throws La Gata out of the jacal. Esmeralda spends the night looking for shelter and monologue-ing to her long lost father. She is sure that he is out there somewhere and will return to take care of her. Later, Esmeralda returns and begs to be let back into the hovel. Ines makes her apologize. I seriously cannot wait for Rita's and Ines's anvils. They cannot fall fast enough. Not to mention the Italiano's glee at La Gata being out on the street. Surely this will drive her into his arms and she will be his? Bleeecchh.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #17 20140909 Their Opinions Remain the Same, It's Their Positions that are Constantly Changing


 
Depravity and twisted filth continue in Patrick’s den of limitless sin and never-ending debauchery.   Although their positions change quite often, the theme of the conversation remains constant.  It's all about the downfall of the Sofia and the Ripoll Factory.  Silvana gets Patrick to admit that his plans are to marry Sofia so that he can bankrupt Ripoll.  Somewhere during the missionary position, Silvana declares her love for him.  Patrick makes it very clear to Silvana that she’s just a “side piece”.  It’s just sex between them.  She’s OK with that. 

Please enjoy the video Side Pieces:  Duet by Drake and Brian McKnight

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #16 9/8/14 Silvana makes her move


Hello Everyone! Before we get to the recap I thought I'd share something cute:
 
A couple of years ago two peacocks and a peahen showed up on my farm. We think they saw the chickens and the ducks, thought the place looked good and decided to stay. Last year the peahen hatched 5 chicks. As soon as the babies appeared the two peacocks took off and we haven't seen them since. I guess peacocks are deadbeat dads. This past June, the peahen laid 6 eggs. Since there were no males around the eggs weren't fertile. She sat on that nest of eggs for weeks and weeks! I thought she would eventually give up, but she never did. I felt sorry for her, so one day when she was off the nest eating, I slipped in three duck eggs. Even though she had already been there for weeks she stayed on the nest for another month and hatched two ducklings! Unfortunately she lost one of them but she is raising the other one and it is doing just fine. She must wonder why her baby likes to hang around the water dish and the duckling must wonder why mom roosts at night instead of laying on the ground. But they are cute together and lots of fun to watch.
 
 
 
On to the recap!
 
From Friday:
Chava talks to Sofia after Alexa's meltdown.
Irma tells Lupe' she's leaving Armando and taking Nandito with her.
Armando talks to Alexa in the car.
Silvana arrives at Pato's Playhouse. Her shirt arrives moments later.

La Gata #6 - Mon 9/8 - La Tormenta

Gata got a job selling lottery tickets.  Centavito got a job washing cars at a parking lot.  High fives!  They joke about how Centavito showers every day and Gata showers more often since Pablo started giving her soap and shampoo, but she tries not to use a lot so she doesn't run out.

Pablo's dad gives him a lecture on how to be a proper snob.  Pablo says he thinks he's starting to understand.  His dad is thrilled and moves on to talking about Lorenza's desire for a Pablo-Monica union.  Pablo keeps the innocently bland look on his face and his dad never notices he's being mocked.

Gata has found Principe.  Crisis averted!  No sign of Doña Rita, though.  Too bad, so sad.  La Gata and Centavito work on setting out various things to catch the rain.  Centavito doesn't think Rita's on the level about begging for money.  He thinks something else is going on.

Pablo's dad keeps going on until Pablo can't take it anymore and calls it illogical.  Pablo says he'll make his own marriage choices, thank you very much.  And Papi threatens to withdraw his financial support.  Well, Pablo's heart is no whore, so that's not going to work.

Pablo worries about Gata in the rain.

La Malquerida, capitulo 11. 09/08/14. Acacia and Ulises make up; Sightings! Bare chested men.

Skipping the old and right into the new.....

Luisa is none to happy that El Rubio will be driving her to and from school. He probably asked el patron to do the honors. But if that's how he wants it, fine. She doesn't have to talk to him during the drive.

Esteban decides to forget the wedding at the church. If she were to leave now, it would destroy her mother. Cris is happy that she is finally accepting Esteban, even if just a little. Or perhaps she is pretending for her mother's sake. He thought she finally accepted him. He's hurt and starts to walk away. Acacia calls him back and says she really does accept him now. She wants to say more, but Cris interrupts. Cris wants to know if they are going riding, but Acacia begs off. She's not feeling it and suggests they go alone.

German aka big sexy is getting unfortunately dressed when Juliana walks in. Big sexy informs his mom that he got back the blanket he let Alejandra borrow and will take it to get cleaned. Juliana doesn't want it anymore and tells him to throw it away. She's concerned about his little relationship with that girl. She's not happy he returned early this morning. Big sexy says he just bought some new canvases and was painting all night. Juliana questions if he's telling the truth. Of course it's the truth says big sexy. Alejandra is a great girl. Sweet and respectable. Juliana relents and says they win. Norberto wants Alejandra at the hacienda and in the office. But she wants him to find out more about her, especially her inheritance.

Mi Corazón es Tuyo Lunes 9/8/14 #36


Prologue

Mount Olympus: The ancient gods usually content themselves with sitting back and watching human comedies and tragedies play out as though they were continuous live entertainment. However, upon occasion a truly egregious situation comes to their attention and they feel a need for action. One great enough that two goddesses normally at odds with each other needed to speak.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS — Reina de Corazones: week of September 8, 2014 - PAGE ONE


Reinamaniacs are still reeling from the realization that Telemundo is cutting the heart out of our favorite show.  Guys, if you haven’t already done so, please let Telemundo know how you feel about this.  You can email them at this address:

Te.escuchamos@telemundo.com

Or you can express your opinion on Reina’s Facebook page or on Twitter.

What can I say?  I find that a battle-scarred Reina is still more enjoyable than the rest of Telemundo’s primetime lineup and definitely more fun than anything Univisión is airing right now.  ¡Ánimo! And keep those Crockpot Theories™ bubbling!

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: THE FRONT PAGE — El Señor de los Cielos II, En Otra Piel, et cetera, week of September 8, 2014

Both these shows are in their final weeks, soon to be replaced by Señora Acero and Los Miserables.  Even if you’re not watching the novelas, it’s worth stopping by to read the remarkable recaps of Novelera, Jean and Kelly (En Otra Piel) and Hombre de Misterio (El Señor de los Cielos, II).

Have a great week!

It's Perlata and Pato.



                                                      Peralta and Pato, si!

Alexa is in the backseat of that Mercedes and she's staying outside in the backseat for a while. This was her refuge when she was little and she found comfort there. Alexa wants to know what Armando thinks. Well, this will campaign will be in all the TV and Magazines.And besides, Actresses are always selling perfume and shampoo, famous ones at that. This might actually help her career. Alexa finally goes into the house and Greta asks about the limp. Alexa says she is okay and goes upstairs. She is really hobbling and wincing.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #35 León's secret is revealed, will there be Bodas Interruptus?


We begin where we left off yesterday, Diego is kissing Ana on the cheek with his back turned toward an open door as Fernando walks past and glances in. He pauses, thinks about what he’s seeing, it looks like it could be a kiss on the mouth, but realizes he has to move on, and moves on.

Ana finally pushes him away, happy? no he’d be more happy with (elbow jab, elbow jab) but she tells him he’s going to be late for his trip to... to Paris, he says, the city of love, and then on to Bombay. Now called Mumbai, get it right writers! He tells her he’s going to think about her the whole time he’s gone, then he’s gone. She thinks about that. Is she pleased about that? We can’t tell by her expression.

Jenny is recovering in the hospital and crying on Nico’s shoulder, not literally. She mourns the idea that she will never have a baby. Nico does his best to console her.

As Diego is leaving, he runs into Fer who is surprised he’s leaving, but he does seem to have a smile on his face. Diego tells him he’s going for 2 weeks and tells Bruno to take care of Anita. They leave together.

Weekend Discussion: What Are Novelas Teaching Viewers?

Some recent discussions are provoking this question.  What are viewers learning from novelas and what are they meant to learn instead?

La Malquerida is treading into some dangerous territory regarding misogyny and incest, La Gata is perhaps more heavily into class-consciousness than any of the others, and Mi Corazon es Tuyo shows us a large family about to explode over a marriage contracted for the wrong reasons which will have a domino effect on everyone in the entire household.  Since that series is popular in Mexico we can anticipate a long period during which a wicked stepmother will reign supreme over a previously controlling (but loving) father.  Nothing new, but this will be the largest-scale example to date.

What effect do you think this has and what should be instead?  Sound off, amigos.

La Maquerida #10, 9/5/14: Fake Courtships, Fantasy Lovers, and Really Real Marriages

Gloria has a busy weekend, so I am filling in for her today.

El Refrito:
Luisa tells her Abuela Rosa that she’s going to school to become a chef, and Cristina is paying for it, as long as Luisa gets good grades. Granny blows a gasket, yells about the shame of asking la Patrona for a handout, and forbids it!

Cris is feeling fine and frisky and tells bare-chested Esteban that she wants to make love until dawn. He’s up for that, leans in for a kiss, comes up for air, and sees step-daughter Acacia standing in front of him instead of his wife!

Lo Nuevo:
After a few beats, and looking like he’s seen a ghost, Este is seeing Cris again, but the mood has totally been killed. He begs off, saying he’s tired. Cris takes him to the bed and gives his very tense back a massage.

Luisa explains to Granny that it’s not that she’s ashamed of where she comes from, she just wants to improve herself. She has that right! Granny agrees—but only if she works for it; not having people give it to her. Luisa explains that she will work and pay Cris back once she starts her career. Luisa wishes her parents hadn’t died, because she knows THEY would have supported her. Grandma has heard enough. She slaps Luisa and stalks out of the bedroom!

Luisa is a FAR better child than I am, because instead of being ticked off, she finds Grandma in the kitchen, crying over her tea, and apologizes for what she said. Grandma says she misses her daughter, who was intelligent like Luisa and gave her lots of headaches, but also brought her much joy. She explains that her fear is that Luisa is going to school for all the wrong reasons—those reasons being Manuel “Manolo” Palacios, aka El Joven Palacios. Luisa admits he is one of the reasons, but she’s mainly doing it for herself. Grandma finally agrees to give Luisa her blessing, and the two hug it out. Luisa begs her not to cry. Grandma says her tears are all she has left, because she knows Luisa will eventually leave her (way to lay on the guilt trip, Granny). Luisa assures her that even if she leaves, she will never stop caring for her or loving her.

Acacia is visiting Alejandra in her new pad. They discuss the Ulises-Manolo situation. Acacia feels torn because she loves Manolo, but she’s IN LOVE with Ulises. Alejandra is sorry that Ulises turned out to be a lying, violent bastard, like ALL men. Acacia doesn’t want to talk about it anymore, so Ale asks about how things are going with her stepdad. Acacia happily reports that things are going well. Ale is glad because she feels that Este is good peeps. Acacia feels she needs to make the effort to get along with Este, because he’s the perfect man for her mother…and an ideal father.
