La Malquerida, capitulo 56. 11/10/14

Ale is walking alone outside when Danilo walks up. In greeting she gives him a b!tchslap and he returns it. Ale doesn't care since he failed in killing German. He laughs and says he didn't fail. If I wanted to kill him, I would have. I didn't kill him because I then wouldn't have anything to control you with. First it was his capataz, next could be his brother. Or perhaps your friend, Acacia. How many more deaths do you want on your conscience?

Mystery girl covers Ulises up and runs off to hide. Memo is supporting his friend as they look to find Ulises and mystery girl. They walk past the mystery girl and she rushes over to an unconscious Ulises urging him to stay with her.

Norberto pays a visit to German. He acknowledges that he took out his anger on German whenever things were going bad for him. Such as problems with his mother. He cries and promises never to mistreat him again. Can you forgive me he begs. Of course replies German and they hug it out. You are my father replies German. Norberto acknowledges he never supported German's paintings because....but doesn't finish his thought. I wanted you to be like me says Norberto. I ask that you forgive me for ruining your paintings.

La Gata #51 11/10/2014 Never,ever, threaten to kill someone

Okay peeps, this will be quick because I have a lot of work to get to today!

Esmeralda has taken Fela outside to keep her away from Lorenza, inside the house Low demands to speak to Fernando, even after Mercedes tells her that he wont see her and that it would be best if she left. Low, will not budge and finally Fernando graces her with his presence, she explains that she is there to beg for mercy for her sick husband, he can't take away their money, they need it! Fer does not care, he tells her his wife was in need of mercy and they denied her that and he will do the same to them, Low then gets on her knees to beg but Fernando is not moved (although Mercedes looks horrified), Low finally realizes she won't get anywhere and goes home with her tail between her legs.

The Crypt Keeper:

I think at this point the Meatball understands that he wont be getting anything from Esmeralda so he pays Rita a few pesos to ensure that Esmeralda goes to see him. Rita is trash and I don't care what silly love story they give her this lady is bad news, there's a song by Pepe Aguilar that has a line "tu solo te mueves por dinero"- or "you only move for money" and that's a pretty good description of Rita, as long as she gets what she wants she will sell anyone out. Witch.

♥ Mi Corazón es Tuyo ♥ Lunes 11/10/14 # ♥ 81 ♥


Capitulo 81:  House of Cards

La Costeña: Fernando accused Linda of using the altered photo as a pretext for forcing him out of the company. She tried to get on the moral high horse of “You are a blot on the company escutcheon” and turned to the two other men present at the meeting to ask for a reason why Fernando shouldn't be ridden out on a rail. However, he stood up and told her not to bother; he was resigning.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: REINA DE CORAZONES -- PAGE ONE -- Week of November 10, 2014

Friends: NovelaMaven had already written the text below when we decided that I would do the post this week so that I can put tonight's episode for Caroline in the post instead of in the comments because I am going to do a 3-fer for what I hope is the last time. See you in the comments!!

Jean

My dear Reinamaniacs:

Hold on for dear life! Our wild ride is careening to a premature end!  We have, what, two weeks to go?  It looks as if tonight and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday) will be triple episodes and then we'll get doubles right up to the end.

We have two new crazies in the mix -- Alicia aka The Cobra and Secret Agent Number 69 aka Julio César Blanco.

We left Moto and Laz in the middle of their hastily contrived civil wedding.  What's wrong with Moto?  Is she having a panic attack?  Or is there something more nefarious going on?

We met and said goodbye to the Mysterious Emperatriz Picasso all in the course of a night or two and learned about her quasi-incestuous past with FELS-PELS-GELS.

We discovered that Big O was an impostor -- Original Recipe Big O had been locked away in a psychiatric hospital for  years!

BSC Estefanía has conquered her fear of guns and shot her way out of the manicomio!

Asunción finally knows that FELS is her long-lost son Gregorio Pérez.  Unfortunately, before she has had a chance to process this knowledge, she has been kidnapped by Crazy Agent 69, the writers' writer who can no longer draw a line between reality and fiction.

And now, the Queen of Hearts herself has fallen into Crazy 69's clutches!

Will the Dragon save the day?

Monday recap  of Capitulos 113, 114 and 115.

Mi Corazón #80: Dog Days At Mansion Lascurain; Bitch Linda’s Advantageous Power Gain

Cap. 80

Oh the horror-- chewed up shoes!!  “--¡ANA!!!” Ana and the kids try hiding Siete in the twins’ bedroom.  Nando states the obvious: Don Fernando will kill Ana for bringing home that dog.  (In unison, class.  Cancela!  Cancela! Cancela!)

DF continues sneezing and yelling at her alternately.  (Okay, so the guy is so obtuse he’s apparently never heard of allergy shots.) “—Salud!”   Siete tries taking matters into his own hands, however, and after racing out of the bedroom and down into the living room, he  stands up and begs for mercy from Don Hielo.  (Premio for El Siete!  Bravo!! Premio!  Premio!  A Puppy Premio!)  The kids and Ana are all in torment. “—But he’ll die back out on the streets, living in an alley!”  (Gr-r-r-r-r!)

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: REINA DE CORAZONES -- PAGE THREE -- week of November 3, 2014


My Dear Reinamaniacs:

Here's a new page for the weekend.  Make yourselves at home here -- laugh, wail, rant, o lo que sea -- while I try to make some sense of Friday's triple episode.  

For now, please enjoy Anita's brilliant creation that was posted on Thursday, but that some of you may have missed in the embarrassment of riches that is Page Two:

THE WISDOM OF THE DRAGON
Subtitled: I Cannot Reveal Who is Making This Up

WEEK SIXTEEN – Mon Oct 20

He who hesitates when facing a dragon, loses.

When el llamado de la sangre regarding dragona daughters is in doubt and he doesn’t believe the child’s mother, a dragon can turn to DNA; but should be skeptical about believing the results.

A Dragon trusts no one, not even science. (See prior entry).

A Dragon always greets his mother with a drawn gun.

A Dragon can survive torture, as long as he remembers all the other things that were done to him that were worse (like abandonment in a church as an infant and being raised in an orphanage).

La Malquerida, capitulo 55. 11/07/14

Recap will be up tomorrow.

Labels:


La Gata #50 Friday 11/7/14 La Visita

Here's a link to the latest entry in the La Gata soundtrack: Todo lo que soy. A duet with Alex Ubago.

On with the show:

Damian presents FDLSC with legal paperwork. The legal team wants to request that the courts freeze Augie's assets. Since they will be able to show that FDLSC is the real owner of the MN assets, a judge will most likely grant that. All they need to do is deposit some bond or fee or something (they used the word "fianza" so clearly not bail. I friggin' hate having to recap legal crap.) FDLSC tells Damian to proceed.

La Gata #49 Thursday 11-6-14 Lowrenza and Augie declare war; Pablo, Mariano and Virginia declare Independence!


We rejoin Pablo and Esme in a rare moment of intimacy, their souls joined at the lips.  She breaks the kiss complaining that his parents will never accept her and she can’t wait all her life.  She wants to marry a good man and have a normal life!   Like with El Italiano?  Pablo asks.   At least he’s done something for my daughter unlike you who hasn’t shown me any of this money you are supposedly earning!  Pablo looks incredulous, almost amused.
 
Quick cut to El Italiano and Rita in his shop.  Rita wonders when he’s going to make wedding preparations.  El Italiano says Gata will never marry him.  Lupe is glad El Italiano has come to his senses.  In bursts Pablo who is no longer looking amused.  He slugs El Italiano for letting Esme think it was his money that paid for the hospital bill.   He falls back and Lupe catches him.  Having been warned to stay out of it, Lupe flings El Italiano back and Pablo slugs him again telling him if he keeps up this lie he swears he will kill him!  [Admit it, didn’t that feel good!]
 
Now we are with Mariano and Augustin discussing strategy in the counter offensive against Fernando.   Augustine discovers he holds title to land that includes the town dump!  A light bulb goes on in Augustine’s beady eyes:  he will get back at Fernando by throwing La Gata and everyone else out of the basuerero!
 
Back to the pizza shop where El Italiano screams at Pablo that La Gata is afraid of him, that he will take the babies from her.  We are treated to Pablo yelling at him one more time, forget about the wedding and tell her the truth or I swear I’ll kill you.

Mi corazon es tuyo, #79, Thursday And Siete makes eight



Fernando tells Ana that her mom’s full name is Soledad Fuentes. Ana is happy to learn what her real name should be. (I wonder where Leal comes from, did the monjitas give it to her?) But before the news has any time to sink in, Doroteo el Feo shows up at the house, wanting to talk to Don Fernando about the money Ana owes him. Ana is freaked out, but thankfully Fanny is there and distracts Fer with some school papers that he needs to sign. This gives Ana the chance to talk to Doroteo and beg him not to say anything. Somehow the lecherous weasel agrees and goes to wait for Ana outside.
Now freed from Fanny, Fernando asks Doroteo to call next time and never show up at his house again.
In the street Doroteo tells Ana that he found out about her second job by following Jonny (apparently he has one of his teams of goons on Jonny at all times) and since her other boss doesn’t know about her job at Chicago, this seems like the best opportunity for some good old-fashioned blackmail. Ana can forget about making calculations to see how much money she still owes him, because he just decided to reinstate the full debt, no matter that Ana actually worked her butt off (literally, ahem) to pay him back.
Doroteo has her cornered and she knows it. This would be the best moment for her to TELL FERNANDO THE TRUTH!

After she gets rid of Doroteo Ana goes to Fer’s office and he tells her that he doesn’t like that man coming to his home, where his kids are (fair enough). He wants to know what that was all about and why is Ana involved with such characters and owns them money, too. Ana makes up an excuse about the money being borrowed by Jonny for them back when they were dating; and since Jonny doesn’t have a job now she feels like she needs to help him. Fer tells her that Jonny will start working for him as a handyman around the house, so he should be able to chip in, too. He also asks her if she needs a loan, but Ana refuses (because every good natured telenovela girl will always refuse money from good, respectable men, but always somehow get tricked into accepting blood money from the villains).
Getting back to Ana’s mom, Fernando tells her that his investigations also brought to light some other pieces of information – apparently Soledad was in jail for 18 years, but not for premeditated murder; there was no intent from her part, so she was convicted for involuntary manslaughter (I hope I got this right, basically Fer says that she killed a man by accident). This makes Ana feel better, but this is all the good news that Fer has for now; since Soledad has been released from prison 14 years ago, the prison has no other information about her.
Ana thanks Fer for his help and for trusting her and then Fer sneezes, because we need to be reminded that there is a dog in the house and Fer is allergic to furry ones.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap

  • Chava lays in a hospital bed and Lupe lets her emotions out; she was worried about him. Marisol says Chava really loved playing Superhero. Chavita then says he got hurt because he was defending Don Paco; their future father. Marisol asks, "What do you mean future father?" Lupe changes the subject and Chava follows suit but Lupe didn't raise a fool; Marisol demands to know what he meant by future father. He explains and she takes it that he is dizzy from the medicine. Lupe defends herself and reminds Mari that when Mari called him, the jerk of their real father Javier just hang up!




  • Ugh, speak of the devil, he's guitaring in a cantina and everyone rebuffs him; he's a nuisance to society and after pulling himself aside, proceeds to drink his beloved alcohol.





  • Armie is with Nandito and says the boy is sold enough to understand the concept of divorce. IrkMe comes and intervened so OhSoSexyInGreenArmie tells him to go watch TV while IrkTheHellOutOfMe and him have a talk. Armie is trying to let the kid know what he has to know the easy way and IrkMe takes it that he is justtrying to run off with Alexa. Armie says she has nothing to do with this situation; he is leaving IrkMe porque le falto el respeto durante ocho (8) anos! She needs to understand that she's shoved Armie away the most she possibly ever could and he is trying to hurt Nandito the least he possibly can due to their separation. IrkMe says she is going to come off as the witch (bitch) of the story and Armie says he isn't going to hurt her verbally now get off his dick! (my words, not his!)


  • Chava says out of the three of them, Guadalupe has suffered the most and she deserves some lovin' Marisol. She agrees and she likes Paco so she submits to these plans. Chava feels ready to leave but he's still dizzy.


  • Lucas and Miguelina; Luc. is telling 'Lina about having told Marisol about his past of thievery; he likes to be a stand-up guy with his friends and now he thinks Mari doesn't want to have anything to do with him! 'Lina suggests for him to wait and she is proud of him for having improved his lifestyle.


  • Renzi and Pato gloat over their evil actions.

  • Las Hermanas y Mama Ripoll have dinner;


Greta-"Hace mucho tiempo de que no cenamos sin discutir."
Alexa- "I'm Lovin' it! It's also looking like our last dinner with Sofia."
Sofia- "I'm going to visit hiffer-and-fiffer."
Alexa-"Yay!"
Daniela-"This is all a lie!"
Greta-"Daniela, what did you say? (And so it begins...)
Daniela-" The vibe is perfect, the company of us gals tonight is perfect but the food is horrible."
Alexa-"La monstrua tiene razon, eh?" (Does she call Dani Monstrua after the cartoon and fabulous doll collection Monster High?)
Daniela-"Eldest Sis, chime in when you're ready!"
Sofia-"Aurora tried/tries her best but keep in mind she isn't the cook here."
Daniela-"No one cooks better than Miguelina."
Greta-"You've just ruined everything."
Daniela-"This must run in the family; first YOU fire Miguelina and then Sofia fires Salvador!"
Alexa-"You fired Salvador?"
Sofia-"(Carita de Yo No Fui)"

  • Matias is helping Chava in with Lupe (I guess he was dispatched but remains somewhat dizzy.) Lucas has come to check on Chava and Marisol apologizes for having been a bitch to him (to quote Mamma Mia!- Just one look and I was smitten with you! Long story short, I guess all it took was a flash of his biceps and Marisol realized what the pretty packaging she was about to toss out.)
  • Back to dinner with the R4, Alexa chides Sofi and lets her know she's throwing away a really good guy! Fausto agrees. Moreover, Alexa asks Sofia for the opportunity to work at the Ripollery and access is granted (SQUEE!)
  • IrkMe has gotten a call that Paco's shop was assaulted and Chava was hurt; Armie uses this as his chance to go out running and IrkMe JUST THIS ONCE is the voice of reason in which she says, "Let me call Paco, he'll inform us more about this" but Armie's already out the door!
  • Paco and 'Celi are with Tavares and their aghasted-ness of the town being overrun with thieves and quasi-murderers is quite present!
  • Chava  is colored surprised at how Luc. is such friends with Marisol who brushes him off (He was a thief once but I doubt he ever purloined virginity malicefully) Matias thankfully lets Chava know that Luc. has been working hard to the Ripollery. Mati goes to answer the door and it's Armie who ran all the way to Chava's! He asks if Chava is OK and Chava responds maybe with another tamale. Bro-Hugs.
  • Sofi lays in bed thinking about Chava and Fausto startles her! He apologizes but he had put all together why Sofi fired Chava. She's glad he is OK though.
  • -Theme Song-
  • Luc. and Armie head out and Chava says he'll walk them out.
  • Dani calls Miguelina; She misses 'Lina and not just because Aurora cooks awful. 'Lina tells her about Lucas's schooling and she is proud and really wants to talk with him but he doesn't sadly and is at Marisol's. Daniela- "Marisol's..."
  • Chava cautions Lucas to be careful walking home at night.
  • Greta agrees with Dani that Aurora cooks awful. Fausto lets it slip that Chava was hurt at Paco's shoppe and she worries about Paco.
  • Silvie and Pato are in bed and Pato suspects that BilgeRat Paco is Sofia's father. Silvie asks where did he get that Paco is Sofi's father from? Pato (I keep almost typing Paco and that's a funny thought since Paco and Silvie were Uncle and Niece in La Tempestad) responds with. "It's elementary my dear Silvie." Silvie says it must run in the family and chortles like no one's business. (All the while she is sucking on Pato's toes literally!) Just pure PILLOW TALK throughout this scene.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #78 At this rate Ana will complete the puzzle of her mom by the time she collects social security ... Johnny gets a new job... and the mansion gets a new pet

Refritos:


Repeat of Nando giving Ana the laptop. Repeat of Reeky saying goodbye to Fernando. Repeat of part of the moving convo between Fernando and Alicia.

Lo Nuevo:

In the homework room the kids tell Fernando about an online contest they want to enter to try to win some money (1 Million pesos, about $50K) to help out Leon. Fernando agrees to let them enter the contest.

Jenny in kitchen asks Manuela to teach her how to fix healthier foods for Nico. Manuela happy to help.

The plumbing under the sink begins to leak pretty fast and furious.

Johnny is at the door. He asks Manuela to see if he can talk to Fernando to try to get a job through him. Manuela invites Johnny to eat some of her stew.

Isa at Reeky’s is nagging she has been waiting for him for hours. He shows her the photo shopped result. She is impressed. He gets a call in his cell. It is Laura. He explains who it is to Isa. Isa can’t believe he is adding another ‘little girl’ to his list. ( Meanwhile in the bus Laura is hoping that Reeky will be her ticket to continue at the University. ) Isa tells Reeky that the baby is Fernando’s, not his.

Johnny helps Bruno and Manuela out in the kitchen. (I will skip the comic choreography)

Fernando talks to Ana in her room. She is so glad he was able to talk to Alicia. She is so proud of him, very beautiful words he said. She makes him blush. He wants to hear what happened with her mom. She gets upset.. tells him Diego discovered her mom’s name is Soledad. (we see a woman polishing her nails… turns out to be Soledad, but we don’t see her face. Only hear her voice and her singing voice singing the Ana song… but with the ‘today’ voice… there is a certificate on the wall for Soledad Fuentes from Mexiquense school… praising her performance at a ‘Sing together’ campaign… seems she might have made a career as a singer… this woman has a very nice manicure set and another guitar. She looks well off, although not quite as well as the Lascurains) Ana gets real sad and after a few attempts from Fernando and some caressing of her chin and hair, she finally tells him that her mom was in jail for killing someone. Fernando gives her a great comforting hug. She says she had been looking for her mom all her life and she turns out a killer. Fernando asks ‘are you sure?’ everything will be alright. I am with you. Ana is embarrassed that he found out. He is really moved and his eyes are teary.
