Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #82 Friday 12-18-15 (Mex 114) I Love You and I Want to Shout it to the Four. . . . walls. . .
Aitana and Assvaldo continue their illicit face-sucking in the study as Pedro heads toward them when he is stopped by Sergio who grabs him up in a bear hug and tells him how glad he is he has returned. Sergio tells him he must see his Abuela. Pedro agrees and is headed to the door once again. Aitana tears Assvaldo's lips from her own, whispering loudly that Pedro is there. Assvaldo doesn't seem to care. Sergio now wants to know what happened. . .is Pedro starting to have panic attacks as well? Pedro finally pulls away and is about to enter the study when Aitana steps out of the study and confronts him while Assvaldo stands just behind the study door. Of course she wants to know why he humiliated her by leaving her at the altar. Pedro's gaze is cold and piercing as he listens to her repeat the question five different ways. Sergio comes behind Pedro's shoulder and quietly tries to suggest that Pedro ask to be pardoned. Pedro is silent but his glare full of contempt and I can almost hear him calling her a lying, cynical, thieving, %^&*(! "Oh, you're not going to say anything? Well, you and I are going to have a serious talk, right now!" and she grabs Pedro's arm and he wrenches it away forcefully and vehemently: "Don't touch me! I'm going to talk to my Abuela." He looks around the corner, but not fully and so misses the ass behind the door. Pedro turns on his heels and heads hurriedly toward the stairs with Sergio right behind him. Aitana stares after them with a look of surprise and recognition that Pedro has changed. Assvaldo steps out and gloats that she saved them. Aitana declares that Pedro, however, will NOT be saved!

Antes muerta que LIchita #62 Friday 12/18/15... Out with the old and in with the new Alicia!! And the reactions don't take long to surface!!
Not sure how much I missed or how
we got here… haven’t been able to see much this week…
But here we go for Friday’s ep…
Alicia arrives in a high end
sports car at Iconika’s curb… the press are all over her instantly… and so is
Luciana who does not waste time to throw her venom and typical surnames of her
for Lichita…
Augustus tells the press that the
details of how she got fired and then reinstated (now saying she is
indispensable for the company) with a better title are internal business of
Iconika.
The press want to know who’s
mistake or mishap was it that caused Alicia to get fired… Augustus repeats that
the details don’t matter but Iconika has one of its best assets back.
Roberto had not seen Alicia and
he is smitten with her change (brows, long lighter color hair, good makeup,
very sexy cleavage tight dress, etc).
Daphne is again on her blog… Bea
comes in to innocently ask if she watched Alicia’s interview on tv. Daphne says won’t give her opinion, better
Bea watch it on her own and make her own assessment. Bea asks her if she (by any chance) has it
available.
Back to the curbside… Alicia
tells the press she is very grateful to Augustus… Luciana still is grinding her
teeth with Roberto and repeating her choice surnames for Alicia loudly so the
press will hear.
Rafael and Bea are talking. He is
admiring how Alicia did not fall for the pressure from the press (amarillismo)… Bea asks him to try to get some help from Augustus. She assures him Augustus won’t refuse to help
him. (sorry, not sure what this one is about).
At office Augustus is telling
Drago that Alicia looks spectacular and she deserved that change... and I did
too! (is he suddenly interested in Alicia himself?)
At the office reception desk Alicia
causes quite an impression with Nestor, Braulio, et al everyone else at the
office.
In conference room Augustus is
officially letting everyone know that Alicia is back and higher than ever. Shushette and Nestor are of course kissing
A___ again to the one in the lead (now Alicia) … Luciana again tries to talk
trash about Alicia… In comes Sandra and
she is loudly insulted that Alicia is back. (I can’t believe such outrage
[descaro]!!)
At café shop, Elsa is concerned
about Alicia being back in Iconika… Nacho is not so concerned, he believes
Alicia deserves the position. Magos
always with her own agenda, is glad Alicia is back in her job so she can take
over the payments of the house and school again.
In Augustus office, Sandra rants
at Augustus (you knew Alex was gay!!, the marriage with Gutierrez was
arranged!) she swings her fan fast and
Augustus gets really fed up with her ranting AND with her fan, which ends up
shredded on the floor… Augustus tells
Sandra that she herself had stated that Luciana was not qualified to be the Director. So if Alicia is useful she will stay! And whoever
is not…. (snap snap fingers) is gone!!
Alicia is meeting with all the
staff… She is leading again… the only one who is not either honestly or fakedly
supporting her is of course Luciana who continues to try to undermine Alicia. Luciana won’t give up her office and that is
FINAL!! Then Luciana tries to pull out the card of her last name… Alicia says
last names here are not determining, hard work is… She sends everyone to work… Brisa and Brau
stay behind… they say they are not recognizing Alicia, she had never been that intense
(or … ‘tan asi’ as Braulio states it)… Alicia says she has to get everyone to
respect her, and is nothing against them… now the three of us are a team and
that’s what matters.

Antes muerta que Lichita #61 Thursday 12/17/15
Update: Clearly, it is not a good idea to watch and write a recap while you are traveling. I was not able to recap due to airport delays and crappy internet. Below is the only thing I have which is not much. Please fill in what I missed in the comments. Sorry :(
We begin with Alicia catching up with all those who have been snoozing during these episodes. Alicia finds out about Beto's lies and she refuses to listen to him further. Beto gets married to Luci but prior to Alex and Alicia's vows Kenny runs in to stop the wedding. Alex walks hand in hand with Kenny towards the light leaving a grateful Alicia to deal with the nasty aftermath. In short she loses her job, the press hounds her and she ends up
threatening negotiating with Don Augusto for her old job.

Pasión y Poder, Episode 31, Thursday, December 17, 2015: In which Gaby finally puts on her big-girl pants. And so does Julia.
Pasi
Before we get into tonight's story, let's take a moment to give thanks for the absence of the exceedingly unpleasant Joshua, whose invisible parents had the grace to send him to some equally invisible location, thus rendering him, in effect, invisible. And now, on with the show!
Outside Julia's room in the ICU
David is pleading with Arturo – if he feels any love for Julia, he'll leave before Eladio gets there. It looks as if Arturo finally gets it. He tells David to call on him if there's anything he can do. This offer seems to make David drop his guard. "My mom's going to be okay..." he says, his voice almost breaking, turning the statement into a question or a prayer. Arturo pats him on the shoulder and, touching his cheek in a tender, paternal gesture – which, had Eladio witnessed it, would have trumped any DNA test known to science – assures him that yes, she's going to be fine.
In the Montenegro home, Regina and Miguel compare notes.
They realize that Julia wasn't just an old flame of Arturo's – she was the love of his life, the love he gave up when he married Miguel's mother. Miguel says it's sad to think that he's the cause of his father's unhappiness, though Regina is quick to tell him that is not the case. The siblings muse on what might have been, and then return to reality: Arturo is married to that insufferable... um... to Regina's mother and Julia to David's father. Miguel just hopes the past romance doesn't affect Regina and David's love. So does Regina.

Weekend Discussion: Yo No Creo en los Hombres -- Karmageddon!
Karmageddon
comes to DF this time for the devil's own in Yo No Creo en los
Hombres. We've had a very interesting collection of villains

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo #110 Thursday 12/17/15: A Child Is Born (...in a world of monsters)
Rewind: Doris shares her fears and annoyances about the other women
in Orlando’s life with Nanis. In the prison, the warden sends her flunkies off
of get a spare key before the Abuela kills MD rather than let her give birth to
her baby. The Bitter, Crazy Grief twins storm past an overwhelmed maid to get
into the Bustamante house. Max and Leo ask them to leave because their sick
mother doesn’t need more crap. “I know she’s kicking the bucket, but so are we
– dead in life, two mothers without children!” (We’re barely two minutes in and
the rage that wells up in me at this demonstration of Josefa’s selfishness
almost chokes me.) Claudio asks Hon how they can help her and she responds that
she just wants justice for Julian, which won’t happen if he keeps using his influence
to push MD’s hearing back. Cara de horrified “WTH?!” from Max.The Abuela proves
to be the absolute worst labor coach in history. It’s not her fault; she’s just
confused the “hee hee hoo hoo” chant with “it’s better that your baby die…it’ll
me a monster like its father…it’s better that it die now, before it sees and
feels…” She keeps up this stream of chatter while poking at MD, thinking that
she’s taken the miscarriage pill. When MD reveals that she hasn’t, the Abuela
starts smacking and pulling at her, enraged.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #81 Thu 12/17/15 (Mex 112-113) Honeymoon Interruptus
Diana breaks it to her mom that they've got a new roomie. And there he is at the door, right on cue.
Aitana and Os wander over to the love cabin, defiling it with their presence.
To the accompaniment of the overenthusiastic synth player, the singer belts out the theme song. I object to the excess of bass. Fi and Pedro are already snogging before the JP can even finish pronouncing them man and wife. Lol, one of her flowers even came partly dislodged in their enthusiasm.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #80 Wed 12/16/15 (Mex 111) Talk about putting the cart before the horse!
Gianna is begging to be let out of the sauna, but Aitana keeps demanding answers. She sticks to her story…good girl! Gael comes along and hears her shouting. Aitana and Os threaten her to keep quiet and tell Gael that Gianna's trapped in the sauna, the thermostat is busted, and the door got locked accidentally. Aitana opens the door and Gianna is whisked away by Gael, who doesn't look like he believed their story one bit. The Os/Aitana foreplay continues.
Eloisa's doctor says the results are conclusive--she has anemia. Fed's relieved. Mostly she needs to change her diet to get more iron…and stop drinking coffee. "To hell with that!" says El. Also, her BP is high, so she needs her meds upped for that. That's apparently the purpose of the magic drops. And if she doesn't take care of herself, she'll end up having a stroke. El kicks everyone out of her room. Hey, that's a great way to lower her blood pressure instantly!

They shake hands.

Antes muerta que Lichita #60 Wednesday 12/16/15
Well, what an episode! So let's get right to it . . .
We pick up with Augusto and Alicia still in each other's face just outside of Icónika on a balcony. Augusto will not be swayed even after hearing Alicia's threat about telling Beatriz about Sandra and the affair. It is what he expected to hear from a wretch like her. No mediocre "little lady" like Alicia is going to blackmail him. Alicia clarifies that this is not blackmail; it is rather a negotiation. What does she have to negotiate with? He has his prestige to back him up. She has nothing. People are just going to think she is a poor bride who got jilted at the altar.
At Icónika, Braulio is chit chatting in the hall with Brisas. It sounds like the same old same old with Braulio talking about his "yolo" (you only live once) and them being roomies. Brisas says she is not too comfortable with the arrangement. Braulio understands: sleeping on a sofa all this time wouldn't be very comfortable. Brisas tells Braulio that that is not what she means. The reason is she is in love with him. Braulio looks very uncomfortable. He says he is late for a meeting. Inspired by a running and cheering shape on the wall, he runs and cheers on to the supposed meeting. Brisas is left confused.
Back on the balcony and still in each other's face, Alicia is telling Augusto how hard she is going to laugh when the API board members hear all she has to say about him. If he wants to shut her up, all he has to do is return her to her position of "General Creative Director." Augusto cannot stop laughing. She won't even be getting a gum selling stand from him. Does not she realize that nobody in the advertising world is going to hire her? Yes, she does. She tried it already and the Madelén Agency was the only one willing to hire her provided she brought along all of her accounts. Getting right up to her nose, Augusto tells not to even dare try to do that. Alicia tells him that she would never do that because of her sense of ethics. Augusto mocks her "ethics?". What kind of ethics would allow a woman to accept getting married when she was fooling around with somebody else? She insists that she is simply seeking justice after the years of hard work that she put in.
At the orphanage, Roberto and Gumaro having been denied entrance see that Marta and Ángel Vidal are being let in. The long and the short of it is that they have come to the orphanage for another reason and not to visit Mateo. Roberto does not believe them. Marta tells him he must be happy because because of him they have suspended judgement on Mateo's custody indefinitely. Of course Roberto says he didn't do anything. Ángel says they don't know what happened but they will wait until the court has a decision.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #109, Wednesday 12/16/15: Claudio is Outed (Again)
Thanks Tofie, Victoria, GoBlueFan, Anon207, and Urban!
Between all of you, we have a really great mini-recap of this episode. I can’t
wait to see it!
Max files a petition to have a doctor see MD. The warden
calls Ursula, telling her she will comply, but the doctor can be someone of
Ursula's choosing. Ursula wants a doctor to say there are complications at
birth, so that she’ll be able to take the child.
At Julian’s graveside, Jenny resolves that though she wasn't
the love of Julian's life, she was the first woman he danced with and kissed,
and she will have his child. He will live on through this child for her, and it
will give Honoria a reason to live. Later, as a doctor describes the artificial
insemination procedure to Jenny and Fermin, there is concern on Jenny's face as
the required condition of her reproductive organs is discussed.
Josefa and Honoria go to Ursula to find out what is taking
so long, after they both provided information to assist Ursula. Honoria wants
to know why MD's trial hadn't begun- she wants justice for Julian and wants
Maria Dolores convicted of the crime. Josefa wants info on Marta's death. Ursula
shares that Romina, a friend and coworker of Marta's, told a different version
of the story. Marta wanted to get away from Josefa, and she was in a consensual
relationship with Monterubio, who was married. However, his family would never
allow Monterubio to marry Marta, just like Claudio would never marry Isela, and
she would never allow Daniel to marry Maria Dolores. Monterubio and his family
framed Marta for the robbery, and his friend Claudio helped send her to prison
with the maximum sentence.

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #59 Tuesday 12/15/15
At the hospital with Beto, Alicia gives them Luci's number and tells them to call her instead.
Luciana gets the call but is relatively unconcerned and wishes people would stop telling her she should be more concerned.
Sandra and Augusto are snuggling in bed. She reminds him that he cancelled their last romantic vacation, and he groans "what's the point of having lovers if they just complain like my wife?"
Later, with his other lover Chuchette: She's showing off her new lingerie, but he would rather hear gossip. But she starts talking about how gentlemanly his brother (Rafael) is. What a Toledo y Mondragón! Augusto is pissed and sits on her while he reminds her that Rafael is broke and he's a millionaire. He then reminds her that her role is simply to entertain him.

Chapter

Eladio
charged into the master bedroom shouting his wife's name. Julia had
been in this position too many times in the past to not know what to
expect from him. He demanded to know how many times she had seen
Arturo, but would not allow her to answer or explain. She finally
told him that she saw Arturo about the DNA test that would disprove
Eladio's accusation. However, that answer not only did not satisfy
him, it fueled his anger once again.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #79 Tue 12/15/15 (Mex 109-110) Honeymoonin'
Fi and Pedro are curled up post-coital in the pre-matrimonial bed. She calls Vittorio's name, but not the way he would have wanted! She had a nightmare that she was at the wedding with Vitto and she tried to say she didn't want to, but her voice just wouldn't come out. Pedro says that was just a nightmare, and THIS is reality…this meaning nekkid smoochies.
Aitana is STILL at the Rancho, fussing over how she's SURE Pedro's with Fi. Os doesn't think Pedro and Luca would have plotted together. Aitana basically calls him stupid. Os suggests they have Gianna watched. Aitana changes her tune…and gets a little handsy with Os. WTF does anybody see in that guy? Sonia comes in and looks like she's ready to start a fight over him. Yuck! Aitana departs and Os fills her in on the convo.

Antes muerta que Lichita #58 Monday 12/14/15: having pneumonia is better than having a honeymoon.
One of the great things about this show is that no matter what happens to Lichita, she is not destroyed. She tolerates Sandra yelling at her and Augusto YELLING at her. She tries standing up for herself but she's outweighed, especially when he reveals that he's known along it was she kissing Beto in Luciana's cellphone video.
Roberto is very ill in the honeymoon suite. Luciana urges him to tell his secrets but as he tries he gets sicker and hoarser and can't really get anything out. Even though he told her Mateo was his son, and that he himself was an orphan, she thinks he's hallucinating and discounts it all.

GOMEZ LUNA
Casa de Gomez

Julia has just told her father to shut the fudge up! She falls to her knees and begs him to help her and believe her. She is not now boinking Artie, nor did she boink him a few days before her wedding day. Humberto's not buyin' it. He has no reason to believe that Julia is not a two-timing tramp. She's bought all these problems on herself. Eladio is a great man; he's been like a son to Humberto. He feeds Humberto and makes sure that his Depends are changed frequently by the nurse. Julia tells her dad that she wants Art to take a David'sNotArt's kid test, that's all. Living with Eladio for all these years has been a big b*tch because he doesn't believe that David is his. Humberto tells Julia that information will be very embarrassing for Eladio if it every gets out. Eladio right and Julia is wrong. The end. Julia must obey her husband. They are interrupted by Gaby, who could pass as the adult version of the Wednesday Adams character if need be. Humberto immediately notices Gaby's lack of clothing and loses his laser focus on Julia. He can't believe that Julia can't afford to buy his grandchild modest clothing that will cover her a$$. In his opinion, Gaby is rebellious, like Julia. Gaby's dressed like a tramp. He can't look at her, so he's going to bed.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #78 Monday 12-14-15 (Mex 108) A Time for Us!
Ciao, Muchacha Patio Peeps! Let's find out what has happened since Pedro and Fiorella escaped from the scene of the two
bodas of doom! Gianna bids Fiorella and Pedro a warm adieu while Vittorio stalks out of the church, his family and guests surrounding him. Now it's his turn to shout Fiorella's name. Gianna comes around the corner and feigns surprise as she asks Vitto what has happened and then exclaims that she saw Fiorella and Gianluca running "that a way" and she points in the opposite direction of their escape. The guests head off in that direction while Vitto calls her name over and over while Diana grins in the background.
Eloisa, Sergio, Julieta and Freddie have arrived back at El Rancho. Sergio helps her in, her steps are heavy and she regrets having left the church: Pedro could come back there. Sergio thinks Pedro wouldn't return to the church as the paparazi were arriving and they couldn't just hang around looking like fools. Not them, quips Freddie, but Aitana sure could. Freddie is clearly amusing herself. Sergio, Julieta and Eloisa ask her to chill. Dante announces that there is no trace of Pedro at the hospital or in the police station. Julieta thinks he ran away with Fiorella, Sergio says it's impossible as she was marrying Vittorio at the time.
Aitana is a blur of agitation and frustration as she runs frantically around Pedro's room rifling through his bureau drawers, under his bed, everywhere looking for clues of what could have happened. Her parents, Celeste and Benigno, are there. Celeste rejects the running away with Italian girl theory and tries to keep Aitana grounded with the practical matter of changing out of the wedding gown. Aitana thinks her dad's failed wedding dress shredding scheme has brought her this bad luck! Benigno thinks something bad has happened to Pedro and sites his missing motorcycle as evidence: those things are dangerous!
