El Hotel do los Secretos #57, 4/15/16: Let's make a deal, A hotel for the baby
Before I begin, I want to point out something that’s been bugging me since Thursday’s episode. Andres asked Julio and Isabel if they already knew that he was Romulo’s son, and both replied that they did, and that made him mad because they kept that secret from him. But Belen also knew, and for a much longer time than they did, since way back when Cristina died, and then she wanted to marry him, but she gets a pass about knowing and not telling him. Hmmmm.
Ok, here we begin. Andres and Belen get married in the church, while Ayala is investigating where the arsenic came from. But the druggist’s brother, who we suspect is a bit of a psycho, has tied Ayala and Dagoberto up and is holding them at gunpoint, angry that they are asking questions. But the gunman’s brother shows up and demands that he put his pistol down, and is very sorry when he learns that they are detectives.

A closer look
A pair of grown-up dumbos sit an innocent blond cub down and decide to gratuitously break his wee generous heart: Your dead daddy is a lying motherfella! He lied to separate me from my old flame! He destroyed my sueño de amor! Pedro doesn’t know how to react to this revelation or what to tell the two morons who made it. All he knows is that he can’t judge his father, a father who passed away before his birth. Esperanza says that she decided to tell Pedro because she doesn’t like to hide things from her kids. #EpicFail. If anything qualifies as hide-able, it’s this! Esperanza believes that her health scare taught her not to cling to the past (aferrarse al pasado), that’s why she decided to traumatize her teenage son and fall for the fibs of the man who abandoned her 20 years ago. She adds, as an afterthought, that if things hadn't happened the way they did, Esperanza wouldn’t have had her most cherished treasures, her children, Pedro and Pato. And Tricky Ricky wouldn’t have had his Rodrigo and Selena, he chimes in. If this is the case and you’re grateful for the kids that the “lie” of Pedro Papá gave you, then what was the point of organizing this awkward chat? What did you gain from tarnishing the image of this boy’s deceased father? Moving on.

El Hotel de los Secretos #56, 4/14/16: Some people are just bad eggs
Oh my cheesus, what an episode! Enjoy the recap patio peeps!
Andres shocks everyone by telling them that he is an Alarcon, the whole scene is awesome with Teresa coming *this close* to fainting, Andres makes his exit after telling everyone to keep their miserable lives, and making it clear he wants nothing from them. Teresa tries to cover everything up by telling the guests that Andres is a disgruntled employee and in order to apologize for the scene he caused she gives all the guests free booze and for those that stay the night a free breakfast in the morning. Then she takes her leave.
Once in her room the doctor tells her that her blood pressure is too low but before he can treat her her beloved (hahahah, no) brother in law comes in and throws it down. It seems that years ago he had a plot to take over the hotel (and sell the land?), Teresa discovered this and told her husband because in her own words she really could not keep a secret so big from her own husband, her hateful BIL comes back with "oh yes, because Romulo never kept any secrets from you"- this guy is an ass and I don't like him at ALL, not because I like Teresa but because this jackass is using Andres's love for Belen to try and steal the hotel. I hope they all get scurvy and die!

Pasión y poder, Episode 125, Thursday, April 14, 2016: Dani's LOST! Wait – Dani's FOUND! And Art? Too busy plotting with Humberto to notice.
Agustín and Gabriela do lunch.
How can Agustín make Gabriela see THE TRUTH about Franco? Or at least as much of the truth as he himself is privy to? He knows about Franco's financial double-dealings, but he hasn't yet learned about the Mouth Breather and child. (And the chilling contempt Franco feels for his wife? Is anyone but Gabriela blind to this?)
Gaby continues to make excuses for Franco's heartless behavior. She knows that he went behind her back to sell her father's shoe factory, all she had left of her late parents. But he still struggles with daddy issues, poor thing. Now he has apologized and given her the proceeds of the sale, and she has decided to give him another chance. After all, he is her husband, and in the end, he was acting on her behalf: the factory was bankrupt.
Agustín looks at Gaby with a mixture of pity and exasperation. "Ay, Gabriela, maybe you should listen to something else of his," he says, holding up the USB drive Arturo gave him earlier. "This is a recording of his attempt to blackmail Arturo." [We know it also captures Franco saying he will sell Gómez Luna secrets to Grupo Montenegro for a price.]
A Surprising Alliance
As the Grupo Montenegro board meeting comes to a close, Miguel tells his father that he will make sure Eladio doesn't use Nina's proposal to harm the company. [The camera angle widens and we see Nina at the head of the table, looking pleased. Erick, of course, is scowling.] Miguel uses the occasion to make another announcement: from now on, he'll be taking an active role in the corporation. He'll use his power as a share-holder to ensure that his decisions and ideas are taken into account.
"You see, Dad," mutters Erick. "That's what you get for putting company shares in that one's name and not in mine." Nina and Arturo stare at one another. Neither one blinks.

Sueño de amor, Ep. 27 (4.14.2016) Faith is the food of dreams (Hope and charity are just appetizer and dessert)
Aka The only shadow Ricardo is after, is Esperanza's
Once upon a time, there was a dear foolish woman called Dopey Hopey.
One morning, as she was riding the bus to work, suddenly she felt pains in her tummy.
-Oh, dear me, my va-jay-jay is paining! I need to tell Tricky Ricky and Sweety Petey and Flato Pato and Horney Erney and away she ran down the road only to end up being eaten by Crazy Tracy. Y colorín colorado, este cuento se ha acabado.
Esperanza es ahora Dolores Guerrero
Dopey Hopey doesn't feel well and is surrounded by her family including Tricky Ricky, who moved in to save on rent to spend it on plane tickets to see his kids, now living in Elei with their mother.
Kracy never fried them an egg, so now, when he prepares Esperanza's breakfast, Ricardo reminisces about his kids enjoying his -bleep- rancherous and offers the love of his life room service. Hope, who right now could be ''Dolores'' instead, suffers sharp pains in the left fallopian tube and she is afraid it could be cancer. Pato, who reminds her how well she took care of her when she suffered typhoid fever, a broken leg and a crack'd skull, brings a hot water bag. Just in case. It doesn't even it out, but who cares right now? Esperanza hasn't seen her gynecologist since Patricia's birth, so who knows? There may be cobwebs down there...

El Hotel de los Secretos #55, 4/13/16: Get A Dose Of Belén Back At Full Tilt; She's Killer-Diller When She's Dressed To The Hilt
At a glance
-- Belén returns with a bang to the Gran Hotel. She is accompanied by Rómulo Alarcón's estranged brother and nephew. She reveals the whole truth to Andrés.
-- La Nena tells Ayala that, the day before Rómulo's death, she heard him argue with his brother over the will.
-- The creepy fake priest makes a move on Sofía.
-- Felipe is disconcerted by the feelings that his physical closeness to Jorge provokes.
A closer look
When we last left the Gran Manicomio, there were three titillating performances underway, offered by a trio of grand divas, each a reference in her field. Mimí was chirruping away about the miraculous invention of telephones, Cecilia was volunteering as a receptacle for the pent-up sexual frustration of yet another Isabel rejectee and Belén was marking her surprise reappearance in company of two dashing aristocrats.
Julio abandons Cecilia post-congress to go serve dinner. He drops his harmonica in her room.

Sueño de amor #26 Wednesday 4/13/16
A note on "La Virgen de la Paz": After a little research, I discovered that "La Virgen de La Paz" (Our Lady of Medjugorje) has such a prominent role in this novela because producer Juan Osorio has a particular devotion to her.
Now back to the story . . . a little choppy and disjointed on my part. . .
Erasmo and Estrella visit with Kiko in the hospital where he will be recuperating from his surgery. He will need two weeks of rest. Ernesto calls looking for Adrián. Estrella tells Erasmo to tell Ernesto that Adrián is with Salma. Kiko is told that he has to recover from this incident before he can have his surgery to enable him to walk again. In the middle of the night, Kiko tells Erasmo he can leave but Erasmo insists on staying and talks about how much he loves Kristel.
Nacho and Begoña are out having dinner. He tells her that he was able to get his wedding ring back after he had pawned it to get money to set up the sandwich stand and that he also broke off his friendship with the other two stooges. Begoña is not impressed and tells him there will be nothing between them until he is working.

Chapter
123: Paterfamilias Redux
Divorce
sometimes sounds like an easy solution to a complex problem. The sad
fact is that while it solves some problems it creates others. Rich
or poor, this is never more true than when the divorced individuals
are parents and when they try to compensate for past wrongs.
Unfortunately, some become worse instead of better and for others it is too late. – D.D.
David
brought Regina a cup of coffee as they waited for news from the
doctor. He remembered how she preferred it. Arturo arrived in
answer to their call. Before he could ask any questions, much to
everyone's discomfort, Eladio and Nina arrived together.
“Where
is Daniela?” asked Nina.
“Why
did you come here with Eladio?” Arturo asked her.
“Why
are you together?” asked David. Eladio held up his hand to halt
further questions.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #25. Tuesday April 12, 2016. The Queue To Smack Rickety Ric Upside The Head Forms Here!
Hello Patio Pals! We’ll have to make do with a quick summary until a volunteer takes over this recapping spot.
Silvana resents her mother for divorcing her rich father and plunging them into a life of "poverty". Margarita feels that she did the best she could given the circumstances. Her husband was an abusive man and she had no choice but to leave him. She provided the ungrateful daughter with a roof over her head, food, clothing and a decent education. It’s a shame Margarita didn’t also provide Silvana with a few chanclazos to straighten her out. For those unfamiliar with it, a "chancla" is a flip-flop or slipper that, in addition to its primary function as footwear, was used as a boomerang that mothers and grandmothers sent flying across the room to set straight their unruly children and grandchildren. Chanclazos were an accepted child-rearing technique in my family and it proved effective in keeping us out of trouble, most of the time, anyway. It is worth noting that, growing up, my brothers, cousins and I were fearless savages. Little devils would be too cute a sobriquet for the veritable terrors we were. Sorry for the long parenthesis. Back to the show.

Over a meal, Julia told
Humberto that she gave her wedding ring back to Eladio. Humberto is
pleased. Maybe Eladio will finally get a hint that Julia is over
him.
Over the phone, Nina
told Eladio that she is ready to sell her shares. She will stop by his
house tomorrow and they will continue on to the notary. Eladio
avoided temptation and asked Julia to meet him at the notary office
instead.
Gabriela told Augustin
that Franco sold her family's shoe factory behind her back. Augustin
called Franco a dirty rat bastard thief who do anything for cash.
Augustin informed Gaby that Franco blackmailed Art. Gaby's all like
Franco is an innocent angel and he would never do anything like that. I
got proof, says Augustin. He takes Gaby back to the day that Julia
was hospitalized for falling down the stairs. Franco saw Art sneak into
Julia's room. The next day, Franco approached Art and asked him for hush
money. Like and idiot, Franco personally showed up at the Montenegro
offices to negotiate the payment. He didn't realize that he was being
recorded. Gaby is shocked. She believed that she had convinced
Franco not to tell Eladio. Franco agreed not to bust Julia out because he
loved her.

El Hotel de los Secretos #53, 4/11/16: You've Got to Hide Your Love Away
Benjamin is listening at the door as Lupe tells Ayala he heard Angela and Romulo arguing, not long before Romulo's death. "I'm not going to let you do this! Over my dead body, or over yours," Lupe remembers hearing Angela declare.
Lupe recalls hearing Angela say she wouldn't let Romulo destroy their (her and Andres) life. Romulo said he was going to use "that document" and that his lawyer has a copy: "Andres is my son."
Angela was incredulous: Sure, TWENTY YEARS LATER the guy wants to recognize his son. Right. "You should have thought of that before," she told him. She vowed to do "anything" to protect Andres.
Lupe is devastated to have incriminated Angela in this manner. Later, Angela sees Ayala march Lupe past her office, and nearly hyperventilates.
Benjamin approaches Angela to warn her. He's known her for thirty years, and Lupe has betrayed her. Angela stiffens; she doesn't want to hear about Lupe's and Benjamin's "primate war." "But Lupe was talking about you and Romulo," Benjamin says.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #24. Monday April 11, 2016. Pains That Can Swim And People That Can't Think
At a glance
A closer look
The opening scene is a replay of Kiko’s disturbing and gratuitous stabbing. Sheesh, Osorio! I wanted the kid to dance off camera, I didn’t want him to be offed! Esperanza’s cab pulls up. She rushes to check on the poor kid who’s collapsed on the floor, writhing in pain from his very visible stab wound and, get a load of this, she asks him: “¿Qué tienes? What’s wrong with you?” I don’t know, lady, care to take a guess? Kiko is in the habit of lying down in a pool of milk, blood and possibly urine, in that very spot, every single day! Just give him another 5 minutes and he’ll be on his merry way! Esperanza wastes precious minutes calling out the non-stabbed Gallo siblings and asking the Virgencita for help. If that Virgencita medallion necklace you’re wearing could move, it would strangle you, Esperanza! The taxi driver acts like a colossal jerk: he refuses to help, grabs his fare from Esperanza’s purse and takes off. At long last, the super maestra remembers the miraculous invention called cellphones! She whips up hers and dials the Mexican 911 for an ambulance. However, seconds later, when Erasmo and Estrella turn up, the ambulance is forgotten and Kiko is taken to the hospital in a taxi.
-- Esperanza gives her unconditional support to the Gallos after Kiko's accident.
-- Ricardo is in LA, doing his best to put out fires of the personal and professional varieties.
-- The Kuris are trying to adapt to their descent from [borrowed] riches to rags.
-- Pato gets sucked into the Aranza-Pedro-Kristel dramedy.
-- Adrián is hitting the bottle again.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 8 (Apr 11, 2016)
Well, it had to happen, but it all happened for Fernanda and Carlos at the end of Week 7. Couldn't they have extended their happiness one more week?
Misunderstandings, misinterpretations, lies of commission, lies of omission, fury, rejection, deception, sorrow, hurt, jealousy--it happened to just about all the persons integral to the story.
The person who hurts the most right now is Fernanda, the innocent schoolgirl who is in love for the first time with someone who seems to have been two-timing her with a former Miss Universe.
Pedro is a close second as he watches his one-sided marriage fall apart in front of his daughter's eyes. His anger at Amelia is somewhat justified for Fernanda's biological father is back in the picture and Amelia seems to be amenable to having him know his child. Pedro risks Fernanda's disappointment in learning he is not her "real" father, although he has been her real father for 19 years. In not wanting to tell Fernanda about her paternity, he underestimates the powerful bond they have if he believes Fernanda will reject him outright to begin a relationship with Luis.
One glimmer of hope for Carlos, the besotted novio, to rescue his relationship with Fernanda is that he learns from a reliable source that one of the proofs Isabela had for verifying her pregnancy is false. What will Isabela have to say when he confronts her with the news, as he surely will.
One glimmer of hope for Pedro is that he doesn't know Luis and Fernanda know each other already because they are embroiled in a bitter lawsuit which didn't go Luis' way. How will Luis react to the news that it is the same Fernanda Perez who is his biological child.

Pasión y Poder Capitulo #121 Friday, April 8th 2016 Hey, Guess What? My BF (Who is your ex) is a better lover than my ex (Who is now your BF). Hehehehe.
 |
| My BF is accompanying my ex and me to Monterrey. Darn. |
Yamila tells Regina that she'll need more construction workers over in Monterrey. As luck would have it, Regina's BF is also her contractor, so Jorge will be tagging along to Monterrey with Regina and her ex-boyfriend, David. Regina, is uh, not too thrilled with the idea, and her face says more than a thousand words. But does Turtle Boy realize it? Nah.
Over at GLA.. Eladio has admitted to having done the deed with Nina. And Julia.. well she's NOT taking the news so well. She can't believe that Eladio has shamelessly admitted to it. Eladio reminds Julia that she's his EX and he did promise her that he'd tell no more lies. He then accuses her of having fooled around with Arturo (while still married to him) when she and Arturo saw each other over at the beach. She denies it, but he's not buying that story. He turns to head to his chair, and she grabs him by the arm, and wants to know why he got involved with Nina. Was it to get back at Arturo?! Was it to bother her?! He replies that he doesn't get what her problem is, they are divorced and each can do as they please. She turns around from him, and can't believe that he's being sooo stupid! (Honestly, I can't either, this little game of spiting your ex, is sooo high school, sheesh!) She then accuses him of doing this to get back at her for something she didn't do. We see as Eladio wants to reach out to gently put his arms on her shoulders, but he fights the urge to do so, and instead tells her that he's discovering what a marvelous woman Nina is. Oh, boy! Now Julia, who has been wearing her wedding bands, takes them off, and returns them to him, telling him that this was the last thing that was left of their marriage. She tells him that he can go ahead and stay with The Marvelous Nina and leaves the office. Now alone, Eladio talks to himself, saying that Julia hasn't realized that no woman as a marvelous as Julia is. He then professes his love for Julia. A love that he will always feel.

El Hotel de los Secretos #51, 4/7/16 and #52, 4/8/16: Death by poisoning
Since we are missing Thursday's recap, I took the time to do some bulletpoints from the show.
Highlights from Thursday’s episode:
*Despite Teresa’s objection, Isabel goes through with the exhumation of Romulo’s cadaver.
*Sofia is at an abby that treats people with mental illnesses.
*Genaro is fighting with Ayala in front of all the prostitutes about the testing of the women for venereal diseases. He thinks it’s unnecessary, he attacks Cecilia, but she is defended by Jorge, which is amazing since we now know she’s a woman, and her name is Manuela.
*Alfredo comes back to the hotel.
*Genaro is ailing, most likely he has venereal disease.
*Romulo’s remains are being examined by Ayala and Matilde. Surprised that they buried him naked since there doesn’t seem to be any clothing on his bones, lol.

Sueno de Amor, #23 Friday, 04/08/16 Too disturbing for words
Good morning everyone. I hope you all enjoy your weekend. I sure know I started mine on the wrong foot, after having watched this very disturbing episode. I won't get into too much detail when it comes to most of the show, because, honestly, it wasn't very interesting, but there were a couple of scenes that left me speechless (especially one in particular).
More on that later.
For now, we start with Ric arriving at Esperanza’s house for the tenth time that day to tell her that Tracy is going to take the kids and go to LA. Slow motion sadness all around.

He
reminds Esperanza and the viewers all the suffering he’s had to endure in his
life : the desert, jail, war, training to become an incompetent SuperSpy
and a lousy boss. But nothing prepared him for the pain of losing his children.
He will go to LA and appeal the temporary custody sentence. Tracy is using the
children, which is too low even for her.
Espe
encourages him to fight for the most valuable thing in his life : his biceps children’s
happiness. They get touchy with one another and glance longingly, but this is
as far as they go… for now.
Mario
and Felicia are still having coffee, when he says that he has to leave. He is
so clumsy in his infatuation, that he is barely able to stumble outside.
Felicia loves what she’s seeing.
Until
I get an explanation about her bitchiness with Pato a while ago, I won’t be
able to get behind this couple.
