Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 5 (Mar 21, 2016)
The Three Hombres and The Women Who Love Them
Luis Montero--The man with a plan
Read more »
Luis Montero--The man with a plan
- Amelia Altamirano del Alamo de Perez, younger daughter of rich rancher, Fernando Altamirano. She fell in love with Luis (older, but contemporary in age), sometime after finishing her prepa 19 years ago. They had at least one encounter al aire fresco and she ended up pregnant. He left her in the lurch, saying neither she nor the bebe were in his plans for the future. She pined for him for the next 19 years while married to Pedro, the Altamirano estate gardener (whom she had treated as an older brother to have fun with), who saved her from the disgrace of having a bastard child. Although always his favorite, her father kicked them out of the house anyway.
- Mariana Altamirano del Alamo de Sotomayor, older daughter of Fernando. She's Amelia's envious sister, primarily because she was not the favored child. She fell in love with Luis, probably from seeing him with Amelia. He never showed any interest in her. Her father later forced her into a convenient, but loveless marriage to a rich (but ambitious) widower, Hernan. He has a daughter, Camila, from his first marriage. Mariana doesn't like her around. The couple is childless. Her interest in and immediate obsession with Luis is rekindled by a visit to his law offices with her father. She claims she's been in love with him for over 19 years. He is not interested in her amorous advances, but makes nice because she has information on Amelia he wants.
- Marissa Gomez Ruiz de Montero, widowed rich bank president, considerably older than Luis. She seduced him into marriage 19 years ago by offering him a trip to Europe with her and her then 10-year old son, Carlos, to live and study to become a lawyer. He accepts without hesitation--it was his plan. She is now cognizant of her age and is afraid to lose him to a younger woman. She's still in love with this jerk. He has cooled to Marissa's bedroom advances. (P.S. Her son, Carlos, hates him.)
- Andrea, leggy, young, blonde assistant to Isabela, the owner of a beauty/spa academy. Where she met Luis is not clear, but she fell in love with him and is blind as to what he is really like. He, on the other hand, knowing where his pocket change comes from, uses her for some afternoon delight and either thanks her or argues with her on the way out of the bedroom. She has decided that getting pregnant would be the ideal way to get him to leave his wife. So far, we've only been privy to one jealous temper tantrum from her when she caught him in his office with Mariana hanging all over him and looking like a kiss was happening.

El Hotel de los Secretos #38, 3/18/16: One bad night and one good night coming up
Sorry for the length, I just couldn't shorten it and not take anything out that wasn't pertinent to the story.
We open with the boys from the hotel who helped with the mining explosion returning home, all dirty and tired. They are met by Benjamin who informs them that they have to make up their time absent from their jobs. What as ass.
Diego awakes to the cold reality of his new marriage, alone in the marital bed, while Isabel is checking on the baby and Sofia. Sofia just wants to be left alone, Isabel just wants to help her. Perhaps her milk ducts are clogged, she gives her advice for that. Teresa comes in and sees the fussing baby, she said she’s going for Belen, the nodriza, wet nurse, which is a surprise to Isabel.
Julio is bringing coffee to the newest guest sitting in the lawn. Cecilia turns to see him and Julio has the shock of his life.

Pasión y Poder Capitulo #107 Friday, March 18th 2016 Hmm.. last weeks, you say, then why are the bad guys still winning and scheming??
At GLA, Eladio and Julia are about to sign the divorce papers that will bring an end to their marriage. They both struggle to get their signature on the papers, but end up dong so. In fact, Eladio does this funny thing where he takes out his pen to sign the papers, but then decides to use the pen that Julia used instead, and really struggles internally to bring himself to sign the papers. Julia is taken aback when Rueda explains that she and Eladio will be divorced in TWO DAYS. "So soon?!", she says in a disappointed tone. (Well, that's why it's called an "express divorce", my dear!)

At Casa Montenegro, the Montenegro kids prove that they are still five years old. Daniela joins Regina, Erick, and Nina in the garden, and asks that Regina not set foot inside the living room, because David is there, and Daniela wouldn't want for poor little David to have a bad time at Casa Montenegro. Nina and Erick get upset when they find out that Regina and Jorge have been doubling dating with Miguel and Consuelo. That's when things get really heated between the three Montenegro children and they all start yelling and screeching at each other like five year olds who are fighting over who gets the last chocolate chip cookie. Nina finally shuts them up and puts them on time out and calls Regina and Daniela out on what they are doing wrong, but she fails to call out Erick on what he is doing wrong, because for Nina, her Chimp, can do NO WRONG. #NotCool #BadMother #MamasBoy
Rueda says that the divorce can come out sooner since he's both Julia and Eladio's lawyer. He tells them that he'll keep them informed and leaves. Now alone, the two talk about their love, and Eladio says that "circumstances" separated them (Uh, no, it was the fact that you bedded another woman, knocked her up with your spawn, made her raise that spawn, lied about it, etc). When Julia tells Eladio how bad she feels about all this, he tells her "not as much as I do". Eladio then starts going on and on about his love for her. It's real and eternal and he laments that they couldn't find a solution to this "marriage crisis". He has realized that they won't be together in this life, but his tattoo says that they'll be together in another life. *rolls eyes* Julia has tears in her eyes and is so touched with his words that she embraces him.

We pick up right where we left off. Adrián had just sought asylum at Esperanza’s house. Apparently, the altruistic teacher now takes in stray teenagers with alcohol problems and bottled-up daddy issues. Luca arrives, makes up with his little brother and promises to accompany him to therapy.

El Hotel de los Secretos #37, 3/17/16: Matilde is a "G"
Sorry for the late and short recap, I spent all morning trying to score Radiohead tickets!
Here is your recap:
Here is your recap:
- Diego is not happy that his wife is spending so much time at the hospital, Isabel reminds him that the work she is doing is not a hobby or something that was meant to keep her entertained while she waited for them to get married, Ayala over hears the conversation and is told by Diego that he simply wants his wife to go home and rest.
- The good doctor lays into Isa as well and tells her to go home and assume her responsibilities as an adult- for every hour she spends at her her husband will allow her to spend 3 in the hospital- Isa objects and tells him he is asking her to sell herself, the doctor disagrees and tells her that she can't act like a child, always demanding more, more and more but never giving anything up.

Sueño de amor episode #8 March, Thursday 17, 2016- Joy never leaves the Alegría family
I'm posting this for Pablo, everybody welcome and thank him for joining the team!
Everybody loves Richard
While Esperanza and Ricardo argue over the unbelievable coincidence that is having him as a neighbor, and he saying that he did it on purpose, after the bitter incident of the bumper collision, we see a sinister walking figure with a lion like mane and tigress eyes, springing out of the mover's truck, and overhearing his love promises approaches them. It's Kracy!
-Hi, I am Kracy, am his wife (squeezing his arm) and we love each other! Right Richerd? You must be Esperanza, right? MY HUSBAND has told me soooo little about you!

Pasión y Poder Jueves 3/17/16 #106
Chapter
106: Fallen Angels
So
many people trust the wrong people in their lives. Betrayal is no
respector of gender, relationship status, education, looks, or any
other human quality. It can happen to the rich or the poor. It's not
always about money, but when it is it's bigger than the owners of the
money because it often has its roots in things beyond greed. It also
has lingering effects into other areas of life. The next stop for
some of these people will not be the Twilight Zone that Rod Serling
wrote about, but it will be something equally unknown to them. I won't feel any pity when that happens. –
D.D.

El Hotel de los Secretos #36, 3/16/16: Life Lessons
Diego has a serious case of wedding night sexual
frustration, but holds it together long enough to approve Isabel heading off
with Doc Vic and Matilde to attend to the wounded men in the exploded mine. As
soon as he’s back in the honeymoon suite, however, he starts swigging wine
straight from the bottle, and tosses flower-filled vases across the room. He
cuts himself on a vase shard, and goes looking for first aid in the bathroom
medicine cabinet. Instead, he finds Isabel’s bottle of fake virgin’s blood, and
seems to know exactly what it’s for. Uh oh!

In another wing, another baby is having a fit, but this one’s actually a real baby. Belen’s Baby #1, or Alfredo Jr., is crying inconsolably,
and Elisa’s nerves are frayed listening to him. She complains to Victoria. “It’s
not normal for a baby to cry with that kind of desperation. When have you ever
seen a woman take a siesta right after giving birth? What mother prefers to
rest instead of taking their child in their arms… That baby is trying to tell
us something. We just need to listen… I may lack many things, but I’m
overflowing with maternal instinct.” She vows to find out what’s really going
on, so she sends Victoria to Sofia’s room to snoop. Teresa catches her
listening outside Sofia’s door and sends a message back to Elisa that one
grandmother is more than enough, and they don’t need her to turn Jr. into
another weak, mama’s boy Fredito. She goes inside, and yells at drugged and unconscious
Sofia to wake up and attend to her son!

Sueño de amor #7 3/16/16
Esperanza does her best to make Pedro comfy on the floor since he seems to be passing out and cannot see. She calls for help on her cell.
At Ricardo's house in L.A. the news is that wifey Tracy is not going to let the kids go to Mexico unless it is done her way since they are all in danger because of Ricardo's job and "that maniac" that is stalking them. She brings up Rodrigo's nightmares. Turns out Rodrigo has been having nightmares and Tracy has never ever really given them much importance until now. Ricardo thinks she is bringing up the nightmares now just to blackmail him. We get to see Rodrigo's nightmare where the La Sombra comes into his room through an open window, grabs Rodrigo, covers his mouth and threatens revenge. Finally, Rodrigo gets his mouth free and yells for his dad and mom. Ricardo And Tracy rush in to comfort Rodrigo who has awakened. All Rodrigo can do is mutter "La Sombra" and cry as Ricardo calms him down and Tracy looks like she has had it. Ricardo promises that they will be catching La Sombra real soon. (Makes me wonder what the backstory is on this plot line.)
At the De la Colina house, since Viviana got the news about Pato and Luca being novios, Viviana just sort of wheezes and cannot talk to say what she wants. She finally can write on a tablet that she disagrees with it and it will be over her dead body. Ernesto is more than happy to talk up the novio relationship and rub it in Viviana's face. He tells her "over her dead body" would be perfect and a big favor to everybody.

El Hotel de los Secretos #35, 3/15/16 Tuesday: A Night For Fireworks Yes, But For Diego, No
First part of who knows how many.....
Read more »
As we JIP this episodio:
· Trouble has joined his big bro’, Double, and Julio does the unexpected honors. Julio has heeded Belen’s warning that Dona Teresa already tried killing her once tonight by locking her in to have her bleed to death; thus, he moved her into his and Andres’s room for safekeeping. Belen has told mini-T that Andres is really the son of old, dead Romulo Alarcon and therefore they’ll be protected from harm. No one will touch them once he’s awake and they’re married……(Well, as Viewerville knows, it won’t be for lack of somebody’s constantly tryin’!) That’s assuming Andres does marry her in the end, ¡por supuesto!
· The local boys who work the mines head down to do another day’s work for another day’s pay--unos cuentos centavos-- as Los Ricos enjoy Isabel Alarcon’s wedding reception and one of the major events of the year.
· Julio is forced to endure Isa’s pointed snubs and that degenerate dog, Diego’s, slobbering over her during the reception. (After his cruel torturing of the beleaguered, birthing Belen, I am certain he fathered not a few bastard Natzi SS officers somewhere along the line.) Don Benjamin sees to it that Julio ministers to the recién casados whatever their need. Right now, it is serving Isabel and Diego the cake cutter. (OMG!!!)
· Mr. Silver-tongued Snake implores his new bride to let them/him begin from scratch with their new lives. They’ll forget the past mistakes. All before this has been a rehearsal, alright? She smiles innocently back at him. And Julio observes as the band plays on….. Isa glances up towards the balcony and notices Julio fighting back his tears.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #6. Tuesday March 15, 2016. Esperanza Rejects Ricardo Again, PatoLuca Are Officially Novios And Pedro Goes Blind!
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a discussion page until a valiant volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
The scene of Pato and Luca dining on the roof of a building in construction... Qué the hell was that? I watched it again tonight and I am rendered speechless. The only words going through my head in a maddening loop are: "What the fudge did I just watch?" And what does that SK plastered on Luca's Halloween costume stand for? Stupid Klutz? With the exception of this unfortunate-in-every-imaginable-sense scene, I found that this episode was pretty enjoyable. Esperanza and Ricardo have great chemistry. Kristel and Erasmo are lovely, in spite of the annoying banda song that starts blaring everytime they are together. Kristel and Pedro hanging out and talking made me hope we can see a real friendship blossom between them (telenovelas could use more platonic relationships).

El Hotel de los Secretos #34, 3/14/16 Monday: Two mothers, two babies, no waiting!
Rerun: The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the hospital. Diego gives a speech: blah blah blah, reinvesting in the community that does so much for the Alarcons and the hotel, yadda yadda, he cuts the ribbon, and there's an engagement ring on the ribbon. Isabel, will you marry me?
There's a long pause as Isabel's gaze meets Julio's. For the record, I never hear her say yes, but apparently she says it. Julio finishes his letter to his mother: "I'm happy, Mom."
AUTUMN 1908
It's the night before the wedding. Mati is trying to get Isabel to cancel. (Mati, do you call this a bachelorette party?) Isabel says she'd rather work in the hospital than continue chasing a lofty dream. And having Diego as a companion is better than nothing.
And now we're at the wedding. Dr. Vicario walks Isabel up the aisle. (The church looks to be half-empty. Where is everyone?) We're spared the long ceremony; people are already throwing rice. Elisa is there. Felipe is there in his robes, making me wonder how much Teresa has been paying to keep him at the monastery.
At the reception, Teresa is beaming, wearing an amazing silver gown. Sofia frets: she's afraid people are looking at her, and will know her secret. And Alfredo's coming home soon, she says. The doctor tells her to act happy. She'll be a mother soon. Teresa offers her some soothing wine with the doctor's blessing.
Elisa is still planning to take Alfredo home when he gets out of jail. (She notices that Victoria is wearing red lipstick.)
Felipe tells Mrs. Limantur he's trying to be like St. Augustine. He's not sure if he's ready to come back to the "world" yet. She teases him, saying he should test himself with a little temptation: drink, dancing... Felipe hopefully asks one of the brothers his opinion. The brother says NO.
It's time for the champagne toast. Benjamin tells Julio that he should act in Andres' place to serve the champagne to the novios. Julio complies with great reluctance.

Pasion y Poder #104 20160314 Seriously! Everyone in the TN is Stupid!
We return to the nursery where Gina is shooting daggers at Dani. Gina doesn't approve of how Erick gained custody of the EJ (Erick Jr.). Erick assures his sister that Connie is fine with him ripping her heart out of her a$$ by taking her baby. He's given Connie permission to enjoy her daily supervised visits with his mother.
Gaby comes out of the bathroom. No baby again. Franco tells her that he is not in a hurry to knock her up until Eladio gives him the Gomez-Luna name. Gaby wants to go to the gyno (geez, I got the willies just thinking about that! I hate the gynecologist because it's just like going to the gynecologist!) Franco says that Eladio won't give him the surname until he divorces Julia. The thought of the divorce makes Franco frisky. He pushes Gaby back down on the bed.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #5. Monday March 14, 2016. Ricardo Is Moving to Mexico And The Guerreros Have New Battles to Wage.
At a glance
-- Esperanza tells Ricardo she no longer loves him.
-- Esperanza tells Ricardo she no longer loves him.
-- Pato and Luca are so sickly sweet, my tummy hurts.
-- Ernesto can't find any information on Ricardo.
-- Tracy offers to stay with the kids while Ricardo travels to Mexico for work. She refuses to grant Ricardo a divorce.
-- Silvana succeeds in getting Pato's scholarship revoked.
-- Ricardo applies for a job at Instituto Palacios. He needs to infiltrate the school to find La Sombra's kid.
A closer look
Ricardo is on the phone to Esperanza, talking about how much he loves her and how seeing her revived his old feelings, yada yada yada. He hopes they can pick up right where they left off. He is certain that Esperanza feels the same about him; he can’t be imagining things. Esperanza can’t contain her tears but she stays firm: She tells Ricardo that she is no longer in love with him and asks him to stop contacting her. She hangs up without raising the question that puzzled viewers for days: "Where in poo-perfect hell were you for the last 20 years?". For two decades, Ricardo didn’t use any of the means of communications known to Man to contact Esperanza. What’s up with that? Not a single letter, phone call, telegram, carrier pigeon, smoke signal or three-eyed raven! Nada! Then Mr. Hot Stuff shows up at Esperanza’s door, tells her he’s married, drops the “I love you” bomb and expects her to fall into his arms. Sorry, Ric, but “Operation Get A Load Of Me” is a resounding failure. Oh, and you’re a creep!

Un Camino Hacia El Destino-Week 4 (Mar 14, 2016)
A plea from the editorial desk: could anyone step up to post a few short overviews this week? I will be unable to take up the reins again until Week 5.
Lots happened last week. Pedro lost control and started to assault Amelia sexually; Luis can't be sure who is being truthful about Old Fer's granddaughter's existence; Marissa is beginning to doubt her allure for her husband, but our "May-December" pairing is still heating up, despite Amelia, Camila, Felipe and Isabela's efforts to break up Luisa Fernanda and Dr. Carlos Gomez Ruiz. Is this a love that is going to last a lifetime? Tune in to see.
Did you know that Luisa Fernanda is the name of a famous Spanish zarzuela by F. Moreno Torroba? It debuted at Madrid's Teatro Calderon on March 26, 1932. In many ways it was the last great romantic zarzuela. To quote, "Torroba's music certainly offers colorful Spanish charm, as well as fair helpings of graceful Viennese musical comedy and Italian operatic verismo....[his] melodies are consistently memorable and his theatrical instinct never falters."
Here is Placido Domingo in an aria from Luisa Fernanda--"Ay Mi Morena" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19-GI2LzOtc
