Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #94 1-7-16 Roxy's Worst Day Ever!
Recap by Sneaky Two Shoes! Mille Grazie!!
Elo asks Fi not to tell
anyone about Roxi’s parentage and Fed waltzes in and asks about the
monthly deposits ACorp is making to the mystery account.
Elo notices and fingers her huge seafoam green bracelet and calls
her Imelda as she tells her, ask Pietro I don’t know about business
stuff. They go back and forth for a while over whether Fedrica is in
fact Imelda Marcos or not (in case anybody didn’t
know Imelda Marcos was a politician’s wife who spent scandalous amounts
of govmt $ on clothes and especially shoes, she had like a bajillion
pair)
Pietro goes to Rey and Adela’s place where Roxi trying to get rid of him pretends, badly, to be a sister of Adela. Pietro falls for it till Beni blows her cover, calling her by name. Too late to shut Pietro out though, Rox has already let him in and he won’t leave till he talks to her.
Fi has a wonderful idea that Roxi is just gonna
hate; let Rox come back to the ranch, but she has tolive w/Quina
in the employee quarters. Elo goes for it and wants to take it a step
farther and put Roxi to work, Ha!

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 121, 1/7/2016: What. The. Hell. MD has learned NOTHING!!!
Refrito:
MD thinks back on all the few lovely moments she and Max have gotten to share
during the course of this crazy story while reading vows. As she sits with the
head braced on her knees, an unknown prisoner with a shiv sneaks up on her…
Meanwhile, Dan gives the order to his prison
buddy: kill Max! Our blindfolded and bound galan has no idea that the kidnapper
is pointing a gun to his head…

Antes Muerta que Lichita #74 Thursday 1/7/16: Details are so 2015!
Happy New Years Patio! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and is having a good new year thus far. My brief but awesome vacation in Columbia has caused me to miss 2 weeks worth of episodes but thanks to the wonderful recaps (you guys are amazing!) from the rest of the team I am all caught up. Lets jump right in and see what mischief the gang has construed while I've been away.
We begin with Sandra forcefully opening Bea eyes to her husband's philandering ways and linking Alicia in that picture. At first, Bea thinks Sandra is a little crazy for preposterous proposition but Sandra fueled with anger, jealousy and hypocrisy will not leave without destroying everyone's happiness. She begins to spin a lovely but gossipy tale of the Alicia, the "Trepadora", a woman who stops at nothing to climb to the position she seeks. Alicia started with her son Alex and has now moved her sights to Bea's hubby. How do you think she returned to Iconika after the wedding fiasco? Furthermore guess who is heading up the Iconika USA branch and who do you believe is there with her at this very moment?? Bea seems to believe the dirt Sandra is dishing and is devastated. She cannot believe that Alicia will do such a thing after she opened up the doors of her home to her (she seems to leave out the part where she was constantly judging her and her family but lets not get caught up in details. Bea wonders why Sandra is telling her all of this...what does she have to gain? Sandra feel that it is her duty as a woman to convey what is going on. She felt it was Bea's right to know (being half owner and all) even though it was a hard decision for her whether or not to spill the beans. Sandra relays that she will be on a short vacation since she has been fired. She asks for Bea's discretion to not reveal who give the dirt on Don Augusto's side chicks. With her mission accomplished of infecting her poison, Sandra departs leaving Bea to cry over a picture of her and Don Augusto looking not so happy. I wondered during this whole encounter when Sandra will out her 10 YEAR relationship with Don Augusto and her willingness to run away to the US with him herself but who cares about details these days.
Point 1: When tattle telling on others it is okay to gloss over your own crimes in the affair.

Pasión y Poder, Episodio 44, jueves, 7 de enero, 2016: Eladio Shapes the Narrative (And Erick Runs Away!)
Who would have imagined that one dead Ratt would stir up so much trouble? Tonight, the gaming and blaming continue...
Bloodsucker
Gisela, determined to turn a profit on her blood connection to Franco, lurks outside the Gómez-Luna mansion. She accosts her grandson – whose face, the Patio is delighted to observe, still looks like raw hamburger kept a day too long in the fridge – and tells him THE TRUTH: his parents are not dead. His mother is a woman named Caridad Herrera, she says. And reaching into her waistband (ewww!), she hands him a photo of her daughter – and Franco's mother. Franco studies it for a moment. Does he feel the llamado de la sangre? Or of the cheekbones? Hard to say. But he says he'll need proof if he is to believe Gisela's contention. She will provide that proof – for a price. Franco scowls, but he pays up. Then he leaves her. As he limps up the stairs to the house, he takes a call from Eladio on his cellphone.
Gisela scuttles off, but not quite fast enough. Callao has seen her and now he wants to know why she is there.

Blog mom is considering deleting Caray, Caray entirely. Thoughts welcome.
Hello, friends, trolls, spammers, complainers, etc.,
Behind the scenes there has a been a lot of trouble over the past year or two. Against my instincts I let this project get too big. We used to just blog the three shows on Univision prime time. Now our net is cast across all of Telenovela Land.
We have had almost 18,000,000 visits to our site. Perhaps this is what has made us a target of ugly behavior. We have lost a lot of recappers due to nasty commenters. We have had to delete 1,000s of spam comments from witch doctors and spell casters and plumbing supply houses. We have had to scour the comments for spoilers and malicious mayhem.
Over the last year or more Diva del desierto (5 foot Latina) and her computer whiz husband have made a number of very complicated improvements under the hood. These improvements have answered some of your multiple complaints but the Diva has had it. She wants to throw in the towel. I cannot take on the work she's been doing.
So that's why I'm thinking about folding up the tent (to switch metaphors). People who complain and attack each other and post spoilers etc. have finally worn us down.
Most things online are eventually ruined by spam and porno. One could say about the whole internet: "This is why I can't have nice things."
Have you noticed that everybody who works on this site does it for free?
Another possibility would be to cut back to just three shows and dump the rest of this. I think I could keep my eye on three shows.
I am taking suggestions and comments below.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #120, 1/6/2016: Would They Really Kill BOTH Our Protagonists?
The Old: Ursula
talks to the kidnappers and tells them Max has to be in his five senses before
he speaks to MD. They wake him with a tequila shower. Leo tells Clara, Doris
and Chelito that Claudio is dealing with trying to track down the kidnappers
and Max. The doctor tells them Esperanza had a heart attack, and had no trace
of any of the medicines she was supposed to be taking to avoid it (too
expensive). Now, any stress could cause the big one. Ursula tells Josefa that
they will soon be rid of Max AND Claud, but Jo thinks death is too easy for
Claud. She wants him alive and suffering for Marta’s death—she wants ALL of
them to suffer. Ursula points out that Claud and Marcelo were responsible for
putting Marta in jail, but La Abuela was responsible for her death. But not to
worry. First they’ll get Abuela to get rid of their MD problem, and then they’ll
get rid of her. Marcelo tells Claud he wants a guarantee that his name will be
cleared of ALL suspicion before he helps him save Max and MD.

The New:
Ursula tries to calm Dan down after the big reveal that MD
and Max are married. She assures him they just did it so that Max can try to
get custody of the baby. Then she tells him how Max threatened to charge Ivana
with abetting (encubrimiento) if she doesn’t testify. But without an accused
(MD) or a defender (Max), then none of that matters. Dan’s ears perk up, and he
demands that Ursula NOT kill MD. Ursula backtracks and says it was just a
manner of speaking. They’ll just make sure MD stays in jail by having Ivana
testify that she was hit and fainted and didn’t really see what happened. They
both eye each other warily, neither trusting the other as far as they could
throw them.

Antes muerta que Lichita #73 Wednesday 1/6/16 " Augusto in Action!"
Here we go: I left out the Brisa and Braulio nonsense when they were not connected to the main plot. Let us just say they are still lovey dovey. Now on to the important stuff. We left off yesterday with Sandra telling Fátima that Augusto is going to stand her up in Europe for some reason she does not know yet and Detective Carmona telling Roberto that as far as he can tell Sheila is in the US. He does not know if Mateo is with her. He can only say what he knows. Roberto asks if he will investigate to see if she has Mateo with him. Carmona says sure like he has nothing better to do than sit at his desk scratching his belly and looking for his son and his son's mother in the US. Carmona gives Roberto a report about where Sheila was last seen in the US. That is all he can do for him at the moment. Roberto tells detective Carmona that he will get the definitive dirt on Augusto on a silver platter so Carmona will continue to help him find Mateo.
Magos returns to the café from her errand and runs into the bill collector from the bank whom Elsa has pressed into service having him wait on tables. After the usual Magos nonsense, he gets Magos to sign a paper stating that she knows that she has a debt to the bank. It looks like she thought she was signing for a package that was being delivered at the same time. She is not a happy camper that now she has acknowledged legally her debt with the bank. She tells him she will not pay anyway. He assures her she will be paying. He leaves the café.
Sandra is still talking with Fátima who tells her to go on her vacation because she deserves it. Maybe this time Augusto will still actually meet her in Europe. Since the snack "Mis saboritos" presentation is Alicia's she will be in charge of there is a problem. Sandra should just go.

Muchacha Italiana Viene A Casarse #93 Wed 1/6/16 (Mex 129-130) Maximo, you're a jerk.
The big questions for tonight:
-Will Papi Chulo reveal his true Papi-hood to Gael?
-Will we find out what Fi's plan is?
-Will Roxi accept her enabling mama?
On the first score, there is too much yelling for Alina's taste and she opts to kick Gael out of her office so she can talk to Papi Chulo alone. "So…you're his dad, huh?" I guess she did see the resemblance. She wants to make sure this is managed properly, since Gael is a recovering addict.

Lichita 1/5
Alicia busts one of the heels on her ridiculous shoes on her way into the Ikonica US office and limps around the place with two employees. They apologize that the place is such a mess, and they're waiting for the new boss to come and arrange everything. She also discovers that those two are currently the only employees. They don't let her get a word in edgewise, even as they go on and on about the executive who will surely arrive soon. They eventually find a magazine that has a picture of Alicia on the cover, and Alicia really enjoys their moment of shock and surprise when they realize that she's the new boss. For, like, half a second, she breaks that glazed and impassive generic-novela-bimbo affect that's shrouded her since they dressed her up, and looks genuinely fun and playful for a bit.

I've
been up and down mean streets long enough I thought I'd seen
everything. I was wrong. Tonight I witnessed something so
disgusting it would make Sam Spade cry. Danny-Boy and his Mama Bear
need to burn in hell. I'd send them there myself if there were no
risk of being caught. Hell can't be that much worse than the prisons
here.
I'm
off for a good stiff drink. Maybe that will help.

was called to testify for the prosecution, but refused.
“Because
I will not testify to help anyone who is trying to sully my son's
reputation. He never was Maria Dolores' lover. He was good and
honest, values I taught him. Since he died my grief made me forget
those values.” She looked at Hosefa briefly and cried as she
finished. Max may have felt some relief and Esperanza, too, but it
wouldn't have been much. Hosefa looked nervous.

Chapter
42: Dead Woman Walking
Ah, what
amusement: A masked ball! I've always loved those things. They're
showy, easy to crash in most places, and full of pretentious fools
whose primary need is to draw attention to themselves. Their choice
of costume or mask often tells us more about them than it hides.
Here is where the powerless can appear powerful, the weak can appear
strong, or the evil can appear to be good and moral.
Or
wishes can be expressed. And granted. Be careful what you wish for.
– D.D.
Erick
Montenegro was showing his worst hubris at this party. He arrived in
the black boots, clothes, cape, and hat of El Zorro, the Robin Hood
of Mexico. His real persona would never think of helping the poor;
if he robbed from the evil he would keep any spoils in his own
coffers. Nor did he look at women as fair ladies with honor,
integrity, or intelligence. He bought favors from Monserrat Moret
and felt daring in doing so. He lacked the power of observation to
realize that his money – or more likely his father's money – was
of more interest to her than he was.
Also the
power of more physical observation because he failed to notice that
Callao, the trusted henchman of Eladio Gómez Luna, was standing at
the curb just beyond the building's entrance.

Antes muerta que Lichita January 4: Lichita is going to Los Angeles.
Happy New Year, friends. First, I'd like to say I'm not happy with Alicia descending into the "generic bimbo" category. She looks like the receptionists now, only in red...
... and having just now learned of the existence of Spanx I can no longer look at these bimbos in their skin-tight dresses without imagining the industrial strength spandex (sometimes in multiple layers) that obliterates any humanity of form. Pobrecitas, I wonder if they have to cut themselves out of those undergarments with scissors when they get home. Anyway...
...the subtitles were functioning very poorly so feel free to elaborate if you got more than I did.
Master murderer and hypocrite Don Augusto consoles his daughter Luciana over the death of her purported father and says the best thing she can do is get knocked up and forget about it.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #91 Monday 1-4-15 (Mex 126-127) After The Dog and Pony Show Fail, It's off to the Paris Hilton! Yikes!
Ciao, i miei amici! Andiamo!
Dante takes Eloisa her drops to the dining room. She invites him to sit down and tells him somebody is trying to kill her. She plays coy and at first and says he is the one trying to kill her with his incompetence as her Chief of Security and he needs to be more vigilant of her person and property. He presses her about who she suspects and Eloisa finally says Freddie and he should keep an eye on her.
Roxi is off to school and seems to be getting a final inspection by Adela and Rey. The two disagree as to whether Roxi's skirt is too short. As per usual, they get into a yelling match. Roxi noisily dismisses them and leaves just as Vitto is arriving. In a funny little crack at Vitto, Roxi tells him to stop looking at her: if Fiorella couldn't even stand him, she certainly can't. She flounces away with her nose in the air, probably holding her breath, too.

We continue with our lineup of: Celia, Bajo el Mismo Cielo, Señora Acero (one week to go), and Fatmagul.
Keep those comments coming! Just remember to identify which show you are discussing at the beginning of your comment, and don't forget to give us a "handle". It can be anything, just please not the default "anonymous". It makes for a better conversation.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #118 The Trial Begins
We’re back at the prison yard, where Max is looking mighty fine in his suit and tie, (when doesn’t he look mighty fine though). And after an uncomfortably long kiss while everyone shuffles their feet waiting for it to end, he introduces them to a judge he brought along and asks MD if she will marry him right there, right now.
She hesitates for only a minute because she’s worried that if she gets a guilty sentence that she will not want Max tied down to being with someone in prison, but he tells her that he will always love her and he wants to have custodial power for Almita. Swoon!!! What a galan. So she says yes and they get hitched.
After the congratulations from Esperanza and Nayeli, Max hands her an envelop that he says she will need for the hearing that they are going to now.
