El Hotel de los Secretos #23, 2/25/16 Thursday: Lupe Gets His Mojo Back; Angela Gets Some of Her Own
Since Lupe was the best part of the show, let's start with him. Lupe is still moping around the kitchen after he's put himself out for a gala dinner to impress epicurean gourmand Don Javier Congora (Alfie's uncle, in case we've forgotten). Angela observes. She asks what's wrong? Lupe answers, nothing, or rather, he says, "What is happening is that nothing happens. (Que pasa es que nada pasa--ISBIS) She makes him follow her up to the dining room. She shows him the empty plates. What does he see? Dirty dishes, he answers. No, she replies, they are empty plates. She rattles off all the entrees he prepared. [I'll give you a list of them tomorrow.] Where is the food? She continues, it is gone-eaten-finished. You should be proud. He gives her a quick kiss on the cheek (thanks, Vivi). Then she lets him go. She stays behind reflecting on his triumph.
The next day he's still moping in the kitchen when Angela comes rushing in to tell him Don Javier is on his way down to see him. Don J is gushing and effusive. He'd like to stay longer and discuss recipes but he has to rush to catch his train. He hands Lupe his card and says we'll communicate later. He would like Lupe's advice on menus for some of his grand affairs. Lupe is left speechless, except for a "Gracias," prodded out of him by Angela. She's beaming as he turns toward her and she promptly invades his personal space and busses him on the cheek. Surprised by her own initiative, she turns and leaves. Lupe indicates to the kitchen maid watching she is to forget what she saw.
Next time Angela passes by the kitchen, she sees him engaged, full of energy, sniffing the fresh fish and giving instructions to all the kitchen staff.

Dream of Love tells the story of Esperanza and Ricardo and their desire to find each other again twenty years after living the intensity of first love. But today their lives are very different ...
Esperanza is a single mother and teacher in two different schools: in the exclusive Institute Palacios and also in the simple College Vasconcelos. She struggles every day to get ahead.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles Ricardo is married to Tracy, a woman who puts puts her profession ahead of their children, Rodrigo and Selena. For this reason Ricardo is practically a "single" parent who must combine parenthood with his work as an agent of Interpol.
Life reunites them when Ricardo arrives, as an undercover agent, at Institute Palacios; he is following the trail of the terrible criminal "La Sombra".
Betty Monroe -- Esperanza Guerrero: a friendly, patient, fair and brave teacher. She is the mother and father at the same time and gives unreservedly to her family. She has dreams: to have her family improve its station in life, to build a school for poor children, and above all to see Richard, the love of her life, again.
Cristián de La Fuente -- Ricardo Alegría: the man who fought for the American dream and got it. He's an Interpol agent and the father of two wonderful children. But living with his wife Tracy has become untenable. Ricardo will have the good fortune to reunite with the love of his life. With patience and a lot of affection, they will establish a "reconstructed family" with all their children.
Carmen Salinas -- Margarita Manzanares: bold, cheerful and witty. She's a lively granny who understands technology. She always gives the right advice and wants to help her family find happiness. There is conflict with her daughter Silvana, director of the pompous Institute Palacios bombastic while Margarita runs the simple College Vasconcelos.
La sombra: a very dangerous international criminal, an art and jewel thief and jewels willing to do anything to get what he wants. He's been a nightmare not only for police but also for Ricardo and his family. He can even abandon his identity so nobody can catch him.
Sabine Moussier -- Tracy Kidman: Ricardo's capricious, impatient and selfish wife. For her the job comes first, she neglects her marriage and children. But as soon as she realizes Ricardo and his family can find happiness, she'll do what she can to become their nightmare. She is American and has little command of Spanish.
El Chapo de Sinaloa -- Jerónimo Durán: a very cheerful and hardworking bricklayer whose talent for singing may turn him into the builder of his own dream.

Pasión y Poder Martes 2/23/16 #91
Labels: poder
Un camino hacia el destino - synopsis in English
Setting: the hacienda of the Altamirano family. Fernando Altamirano (Red Gustavo), head of the family, is a widower and the father of Amelia (Lisette Morelos), the eldest daughter, and Mariana (Ana Patricia Rojo), the apple of his eyes.
Pedro Perez (Jorge Aravena) is gardener on the estate. He has secretly loved Amelia forever. But she's in love with Luis Montero (René Strickler), an ambitious young law student.
At the age of 18 Amelia gives herself to Luis and becomes pregnant. But Luis rejects her in order to marry Marissa Gomez Ruiz (Eugenia Cauduro), a widow millionaire banker. Somehow Don Fernando comes to believe the child Amelia is expecting is Pedro's - he throws both of them out of the house.
Pedro marries Amelia and for love of her assumes paternity of the child whom Amelia christens Luisa Fernanda (Paulina Goto). (Luisa for the real dad and Fernanda for the grandfather).
Luis and Marissa's wedding takes place quickly because she has to go to Spain for bank business. She ends up paying for Luis to study law in Spain.
Marissa has a son, Carlos Gomez Ruiz (Horacio Pancheri), who despite his young age is not deceived. He's always known Luis is a playboy who married his mother for money. This makes for an awful relationship between Luis and Carlos.
Years pass ... Luisa Fernanda is a beautiful young lady of 18, who is finishing high school and has two passions in life: she plays the violin beautifully though she's never studied it, and she loves gardening, which she learned from her father Peter.
A meeting led by fate makes Luis run over Fernanda, ending at the hospital where Carlos works ...

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #124 Monday, 2-22-16 The Grand Finale!!!!
We are welcomed into the finale with the vintage clip from the original novela which morphs into the present day opening and the absolutely beautiful Pedro and Fiorella's theme, Adonde va Nuestro Amor.
We are flung immediately into the gasoline-soaked foyer where the prostrate Fidel lies, still unconscious. Suddenly we see Pedro wrestling Freddie for the lighter and he seems to be having a hard time subduing her. There is an awkward edit or either I blinked for a long time but instantaneously Freddie has been apprehended by several dudes. She curses the family as she is dragged out. Everyone is there holding their noses and complaining about how the place reeks of gasoline. There is light chatter about how Freddie should have been in prison and a freshly showered Fidel is briefly scolded about the lax security. He apologizes and offers the excuse of the family emergency. Pedro excuses him. Pilar frets that Freddie will come back. The scene is rounded out as the family announces they're all going back to bed and P-yew! it smells in there. Simoneta gets to clean the whole mess up as they scurry away.
The next morning, the whole family gathers in the spic and span foyer to bid Fiorella, Pedro and Sergio arrivederci as they head off to Maretea, Italy!

El Hotel de los Secretos #19, 2/19/16 Friday: A Big Secret is Revealed
He teases her, reminding her about the 40 centimeter rule, the distance they are supposed to keep apart, she says she’s never felt so close to anyone before. (insert heavy breathing here). But what about your family, he asks. She replies that if they don’t have the capacity to see his good heart and bravery, and how strong he is, and if they can’t see that his mere presence makes her a better person, then they aren’t her family.
He said he was taken by her the first time he laid eyes on her, she’s like a drink of water after being lost in the desert. Their happiness is overwhelming. She asks of Cristina, he tells her that there are still missing pieces he needs to find, but if she is with him he can continue on with more strength to handle them. She tells him she loves every piece of him, ooohhh she said it, and she would never ask him to stop because that would be asking him to stop being himself. Awwww. They kiss again to seal the deal. (I know I’m oohing and awwing a lot, but it was so nice).
