Weekend Discussion: Photo Gallery; Family Album, Volume 1


Don't you just love it when casting directors get it right?  I love how novela producers often match up actors who look like they could share DNA as family members.  This can't pretend to be a whole archive, but merely a first installment.

La Malquerida #81, 12/17/2014: The Greatest Danger is to Not Take Risks

Mexico Episode #87

The Old:
Ulises follows Memo from the brothel all the way to the drug farm and takes pics on his cell phone. Luisa gives Manuel back the abortion money, without telling him she didn’t have the abortion, and calls into question his manhood. Dan and Esteban reaffirm their partnership over tequila, and decide to take a road trip to Mexico (City). Dan picks up on Este’s desperation. Acacia is kind and considerate to Cris for about two minutes, before Hector arrives and she finds out he had a lot to do with Cris finally retaking her life. Acacia cops an attitude and leaves them. Cris tells Hector she needs him now more than ever, and he asks about Esteban.

The New:
Cris is silent about Esteban, and Hector backs off and says she doesn’t have to talk about it. Cris says that what she and Este once had no longer exists—it all changed. Now it’s just her, reinventing herself. Before she can have a relationship again, she needs to be well. It would be easy to go back to the way things were before, but she no longer wants that. “One’s happiness can’t depend on someone else.”  She knows that if Este came back to her, it would only be because she asked him. Hector is proud to hear the strong, brave, determined Cristina that he used to know! They hug, and he reminds her that she can count on him as always.

Acacia runs into Esteban in the living room. He tells her about his trip to Mexico City, and for a second she gets worried that he’s moving there permanently. He gives her a card and they separate down different hallways—she to go to her bedroom, he to leave—but both come back at different times to see if the other is still there. Este speaks to himself: “Whatever happens, you have to be mine, Acacia.” Acacia reads the note Este wrote. It’s an excerpt from a well-known poem. In a series of scenes, Acacia debates ripping up the letter, or putting it away in her keepsake/jewelry box. Here is the poem:

La Gata #77 - Wed 12/17 - La Vibora

In Blanca's assessment, she keeps saying Augie's her husband.  She vaguely remembers other things, like the dump and the shack/outhouse, and her roses, and that she'd like to see her daughter.

Dorila is hanging a painting on a freshly-painted wall in Augie and Lo's apartment.  Gisela shows up and Lo tells her they've had nothing but bad luck since she showed up--Augie's in jail!  He's accused of kidnapping, and Lo really doesn't know what to believe.  But she believes the worst of Gisela, and she's sure this has something to do with plotting that Augie and Gisela did together.

Esme and Fer spy on Blanca's assessment.  Doesn't anyone on this show have a sense of ethics or respect for other people's privacy?  Blanca remembers Esme, but calls her Renata.  She thought Fer had "Renata" locked up.  Blanca continues her mixed-up babbling and Esme just hugs her and doesn't say anything.  Not even "Trust me, mom, it's this guy who's your husband, not the wacko in the cell."

Mi corazon es tuyo #107 Fernando starts wooing Ana from long distance... Sarai keeps annoying everyone... Isa has a close call but does not get to see Ana at Chicago. However she begins to work a plan to hurt Ana hard.

Refritos:


Luz shows Fanny and Leon the fortune cookie message. ‘if someone leaves your life is sometimes so that their seat is free (for someone else)’.

Leon tells Luz Mau fell asleep waiting to see her.

Ana tells Fanny she has to go work at Chicago. Fanny says I will take care of Luz.

At Houston, Fernando talks to Natalia and Diego about Ana then. Fernando tells Diego have got no clue about Soledad Fuentes yet. And have not checked email since cell phone battery is dead. Fernando asks Natalia how she fell for Diego. For his values, for his gentleness.

Isa is heading to see Doroteo but sets her phone to check Fernando’s email through it.

YoMama nags about DoroTeo not contacting her recently.

Angel refers to Soledad as ‘Mama Sol’. He realizes whoever is looking for her on the web site might know where her daughter is so he responds to the request with Soledad’s location (El Oro) and her job (children’s choir director).

Isa gets the email and is jumping for joy.

Lo Nuevo:

Leon and Mau are leaving. Fanny has Luz in her arms so Leon comments they are already looking like a mom and dad. Love you. Fanny is heading to take Luz to bed when Sarai comes down the stairs with two house maids ordering around how to wash her clothes, sneezing and complaining about the dust. She can’t sleep in the girls room. Fanny says you have the living room, the couch or there is a foyer. Sarai keeps whining.

Edith has something to show Fanny… her brother… seems Edith has given Nando a makeover. He looks a bit more mature and less nurdy even if he still has glasses on. His hair is more natural and smiles widely.

At Chicago, they are introducing ‘Yolanda’ (wow! None other than YoMama!!!) DoroTeo is so shocked I am not sure when he will pick up his jaw from the floor… YoMama grabs the pole and starts swinging around it. Now it is DoroTeo who is having a nightmare… loL!

Isa calls Angel. She fakes being real happy that she found her. She asks Angel if Soledad had a daughter. Angel is suspicious so he asks what relationship does Fernando have with Soledad’s daughter.

Fernando is daydreaming about Ana while Ana, in the Chicago, is thinking she has to tell the truth to Fernando.

Angel is in disbelief. Isa tells him that Soledad’s daughter Blanca is looking for her. Angel is so elated, ‘you can’t imagine how long we have been waiting for this moment’.

La Gata #76 12/16/14 La Locura

What a frustrating episode.

I'm going to do this all out of order. There were really only two story arcs that saw any action (and believe me I am using the term "story arc" VERY loosely.)

Oh, and my notes were crap. La Gata must have sedative affects because I was drifting during the episode and as soon as the closing credits ran I hit the hay and slept hard until my alarm went off this morning.

Fela is found
But she is found more as an accident. It's not like anyone was ACTIVELY searching for her.

Augie brought Blanca pictures and news clippings of Esme and Blanca is not amused. She wants the real deal. She doesn't believe he is her husband. He says he is and can prove it. He takes her to the mansion that used to be Fer's, but was stolen by the MNs and is now back under the ownership of Fer. While she's there, Blanca has a hallucination of Fer. She freaks out and runs out the door and on to the terrace and starts screaming.

La Malquerida #80, 12/16/14: Slap Her Again, Cris!

Mexico Episode #86

Cristina has just castrated Esteban and handed him his cojones as a parting gift, by telling him his services aren’t needed in Benavente, Rubio’s in charge now, and don’t let the door hit ya on the way out. I try to muster up some sympathy for him and fail.

Ale is praying in her bedroom prison for strength and peace. Dan arrives to disturb that tiny bit of peace and demands to know what she’s doing. He snatches the sacred heart card out of her hands and mocks that she’s praying to be free of him. Ale sasses back that she’s praying for him. Always on the lookout for ways to manipulate Dan, get some freedom, and help someone else out, Ale tries to convince Dan to give Perla her store/spa. Primarily, she plays up that she and Perla hate each other and that Perla is on her case all day. She wants to get Perla out of the house more. Plus, Ale points out, Dan keeps saying that he will change for her, but by going back on his word to Perla he shows that he hasn’t. Dan only hears the first part and is excited that Ale is jealous of the attentions he shows Perla.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #85 Tuesday 12/16 : Boy loses girl again!



Casa de McDreamy
Straight to the new stuff: Irma jumps into bed with the unsuspecting Armando --- ooopsies, not so fast sister.  Armando jumps up wondering how in blazes did she get into his apartment.  Irma tries to explain that she just wants to work things out with him and apparently she still moves him, que no?  Absolutely not, he claims.  He was fast asleep.  When is she gonna get it through her thick skull that he will never, ever, ever return to her.  He doesn’t desire her and doesn’t love her.  He realizes suddenly that she’s drunk and she claims that was the only way she could muster up the nerve to come to him, as humiliating as that is.  He tells her to get dressed and get out.  He sees the concierge’s key (he that stands guard with no shelter during rain, sleet, and snow, I guess) and quickly realizes that’s how she got in.  He drags Irma to the Concierge’s desk.  Concierge has no idea how she got his keys.  Armando warns him he’d better pay closer attention and not to ever let anyone into his apartment without his authorization.  He leaves Irma there and tells the concierge to get her a taxi.

Mi Corazon es tuyo #106, Sarai gets a taste of the 'hell week', Lasc twins version. Fernando takes Diego to Houston. New kids Dr Angel happens to know Soledad so he responds to Fernie's ad, but Isa reads it first.

Refritos:


Fernando continues the listing of all the ‘characters’ in the Lasc household.

F: an adolescent that gets her braces stuck…

A: A cook who behaves like an alien… a butler who stutters… a multi-use boxer, a kitchen helper who…

F: Ana a nanny… a wonderful nanny. These weeks you have looked at me different (oh yeah?)… you have looked at me with less reserve, a bit kinder, more directly… with those spectacular green eyes (she blinks several times)… with your beautiful smile… (gets a bit close to her, or rather she gets closer to him with a big smile)

A: Thank you for the flattering compliments… and like I said, time helps to heal the wounds… (he gives her a bear hug) ah no, no, no! … don’t get so ahead of yourself (no se emocione tanto!) no, sir, it’s a long way still for the wounds to heal.

F: Yes. I’m sorry.

(he goes for the divorce papers to show her)… she says he has a toothpaste commercial smile on his face

F: I want you to see this.

A: this is… the… divorce sentence.

F: Yes. This document says Isa and I are officially divorced…

A: (jumps to hug him) Ah, blessed be God!! Blessed be God!! Don Fernando! How wonderful, sir!!

F: Finally a chapter in our lives is closed… (he gives her a bear hug, she complains she can’t breathe) … sorry. Don’t get away from me…

A: No, sir. This can’t be.

F: (they are leaning on his desk in the library/study) nothing’s easy. I know. But in this spot… in this spot began our love story… in this spot you hit my nose, remember?... and I saw your beautiful face for the first time… another day we dared to kiss… don’t get away from me anymore, Ana… let me show you how much I love you… (they are about a hair away lips to lips)

Lo Nuevo:

They are about to kiss… when suddenly a girl scream is heard… Both Ana and Fernando are willing to ignore it at first… we hear Ana say ‘it is no big deal, its no big deal’ and they both are about to kiss again but a second later Ana gives a huge sigh and pushes him away and starts shouting ‘what is the matter?? What??!!’ then they both run out.

The issue turned out to be Siete slurping the new girl (forgot her name) in front of Luz and the twins (from their face I can tell they woke up to her screams and are not happy campers for her waking them up like that). (where’s Alicia??) A minute later Ana, Fer, Fanny, Nando, Alicia are in the room as well and they all are in around her bed. Turns out the twins had put pieces of ham slice over Sarai’s face so that Siete would slurp her. The twins and Luz go fetch Sebas but as soon as he learns who is screaming he runs to her side. Nando and Fanny find it both annoying and funny that Sarai is so annoyed at Siete slurping her. Fernando eventually brings back the peace… they send Sarai to the bathroom to clean up.

La Gata #75 The one where Esmeralda joined a cult 12/15/2014

Ok, confession time, I don't watch the show. I read the recaps, and I watch the episodes I recap but I can't make myself watch without wanting to cry, last night my sister joined me in watching this and fun times were had by all. This will be a short recap because really nothing happened, there was no Mariano, no Gisela and no Lorenza.

Now to the recap:

Blanca and Agustin are hanging out at kidnap central, she wants to know when he will set her free, and he makes excuses, he kisses her and she thinks this is gross, she's only going along in order to be reunited with her daughter, Miss. Kitty. Will she be able to fake this affection for Agustin long term? She better be, cause no one is looking for her.

La Malquerida, capitulo 79.

Skipping the old....

Cris tells Rosa that Esteban wants kids and she can't give it to him. So she has decided to let him go and see if he comes back.

Acacia pulls away from Esteban's arms and starts to have regrets. Esteban, while groping her, says they have to live their love otherwise they will regret it. We can either go our separate ways or enjoy this love together. She admits she's afraid. He tells her not to think of anything else but living their love. She wants to leave but he stops her. He tells her to think it over. Do you realize what you awaken in me? They start playing tonsil hockey.

Katia tells Hector and Ulises that she found an account that belonged to Nuria but under another name. Ulises excitedly says it should contain all the money Nuria stole. He grabs the file and tries to look at the information but Hector stops him. This will take time to investigate. Allow me to do this. Ulises offers his help. Hector looks at the file and smiles.

Acacia gets a phone call but doesn't know who it's from. Esteban grabs her again and she caresses his back.

Bruno directed Alicia to go upstairs before her father lost his temper at her, which Fernando was having trouble doing because he had pulled a muscle and he also had trouble breathing.

Quiero Amarte Highlights & Discussion (Week 13-Dec 15)

Looking Back:
Vivi Wraps it Up
Wedding called off. Amaya denounced as a home-wrecker/whore. Max denounced as a cheater and liar. Connie hooked up/shacked up/loved up with Sal. Manuel and Geno have a secret love child, who doesn't even know who his father is. Manuel determined to fire Amaya. Whor confronting Amaya about her "cheating" in her hotel room. Wow!


Lila Gives us Some Good Ones
Lips Not Hips
Mauro’s Ire Re-Fires
Emma Arrives and Dives


Consensus Reached on the Patio
Constanza is Insecure—She needs a man for validation of her worth.
Sal’s accusations that Max and Amaya are lovers are LAME. His proofs would not hold up in court.
Horacio’s treatment of Valeria is inexcusable in any culture north or south of the US-Mexico border.


Looking Ahead:
Speculations Abound
Will Consta “Pull a Lu” if she finds out she’s pregnant?
Is César genuinely interested in Amaya?
Can Sal become more dangerous to Max where Consta is concerned?
What will Horacio do when he finds no one with Amaya in her hotel room? (Oh, Max, if you are downstairs, please be careful.)

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #104, Lives are saved today, Siete, Lenin, and Pablo edition

Sorry for this being so late. I didn't know until 5:30pm PST Friday that this show was being shown at 5:00pm PST instead of the usual 8:00pm PST because of the telethon. So, this recap consists of the first half hour being a synopsis of the show from Univision and the last half hour being what I was able to record, although without CC's because those weren't working last night either. What a night.

First half hour that I didn't see: (fill in more detail in the comments if you want)
Ana talks with León about his jealous behavior and it’s driving Fanny away.
Fanny and Lenin bring some of the kids from the shelter to the mobil cancer screening where the director of the shelter has gone and they suspect she has cancer.
Ana suspects something odd in Siete’s food, possibly rat poison, but not before he consumes some, and the family rushes him to the pet hospital. 
Meanwhile, Isabela is patting herself on the back for a poisoning well done.
Edith runs into Nando without all the goth makeup, I don’t know where since I missed this part, and tells him that she’s Elisa and he’s completely clueless about who she really is.
Isabela tries to hack into Fernando’s computer to do her dastardly deeds, but is unsuccessful so far.
