Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (June 13, 2016) 2nd Half
#FREEFERNANDA
Who holds the key to Fernanda’s freedom? Will it be Ignacio, Camila, Carlos, Don Fernando, Amelia, Pedro, Felipe or…wait for it, Javier? Yes, Javier will no doubt come back into the picture. He was only supposed to be gone a short time. Pedro is living in his house, for heaven’s sakes. It would be hard to believe Javier didn’t leave a way to contact him while he’s been away. Pedro can’t be so stupid or blind not to let him know what happened to Fer. Indeed, Pedro had the hopes that Fernanda would turn her eyes on Javier, a wholesome, successful and acceptable mate, even though Javier himself saw it was a hopeless situation.

Yago, #21, Wednesday 6/15/16: Yago Strikes Again
We meet Camilo at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of a tall building. (He's the ribbon-cutter.) He tells us that playing God is addictive. One way to keep power is to use people's fear against them. Power is like a muscle: you have to keep using it in order to stay strong. If you don't use your power, it weakens.
Camilo meets his goons (including Tomas Vargas, the loan shark) on the roof of the building. He asks who let the kid get away. As the guilty party begs for his life, Camilo orders one of his other goons, a man called El Chino, shoot him in the head. Chino protests weakly, but complies. Then Camilo orders Chino to jump off the roof. Chino protests a little more strongly. Camilo holds up a photo of Chino's wife, Jesusa. Camilo says that if Chino doesn't fall off the roof, they'll rape and torture his wife to death. Chino jumps off the roof.

Sueño de amor #68 Wed. 6/15/16
It seems soooo long ago but we left with Cristina deciding to accept the job at the Instituto Palacios and asking Mr. Snoop Ricardo to leave.
At the family court office, Ricardo hands over a psychological evaluation that was done on him about six months ago to the judge. She says she will look it over. She asks if he has the "proof" he has told her about. He does not have those videos yet. He will be sending them to her and they will prove he never touched Tracy. He thanks her for the time and consideration she has given him. His case is interesting to her because she wants to protect his children and she can see that his children do love him which is the opposite of Tracy's claims. She wants all of the information as clear as possible.
Margarita and Kristel go to visit Silvana at the jail. Surprise! Surprise! Silvana's demeanor is totally changed as part of the "true revenge" plan as suggested by La Tuerta (Ole One Eye). Silvana is crying and asking for their forgivenes. She even kisses their hands and lets them "pet" her head like a dog but nothing has changed. She has successfully deceived them with her "pity me" and "mea culpa" act. In reality, Silvana thinks they are just as stupid as ever.

Un Camino Hacia el Destino-Week 17 (Jun 13, 2016) 1st Half
NOTICE: No Camino on Monday, June 13
We will have to wait until Tuesday to see how Fernanda’s trial goes. With Felipe defending her instead of Ordoñez, anything can happen. Can anything save her from prison? If Camila goes along with Mariana and Hernán, she will lose Fernanda as a friend forever, but gain her father’s approval (temporarily, probably). If she doesn't and backs Fernanda, her father's wrath comes down on her and Mariana reverts to her venomous reptilian persona. Since Camila hurt Fer at the end of Friday's episode telling her Carlos won't show up because he took his mother to Houston and he's with Ickzzy--his only real love, this does not bode well for the friendship.
Don Fernando is a lost cause to testify in favor of Fernanda. He's too befuddled. As Delilah pointed out, he doesn't even look good in his clothes.
Things look bleak before the trial even gets under way.
While we wait, let’s speculate—why, when Fernanda is faced with serious prison time, won’t Pedro or Amelia just let loose with their not so very dirty secret to Luis….and Fernanda. (Thank you, Diana, for the idea.)

Tres Veces Ana #19: The Facade de Bondad Starts Cracking
Three Facades de la Bondad
Ana Laura's answer to Ana Leticia's declaration that Uncle Mariano is hers and can never be Jennifer's is met with a plea for Lemmee to get professional help. (Yeah, like when has she ever listened to anybody but herself, ever?)
Meanwhile, Ramiro's credit and cards are blocked and locked. (Does it make sense staying in a high class hotel then, when he knows ol' Papi-cock has cut him off? Dude deserves what he gets. He ain't smart enough to live long, but we know he will.) He goes to The Realty Place to at least give Uncle Mo the 411 on Ana Lucia. Unfortunately for him, Lemmee sees and latches onto him first; she taunts him and then when Mo enters the area, slaps the shit outta Rami and calls him fresh. Info is all a no go, and Mo gives him the heave ho.......Damn! Is Ramiro slow!

Yago, #20, Friday 6/10/16: Congratulations! It's a Boy!
Flashback: Sara is looking at the positive result on her pregnancy test and thinking that she isn’t cut out to be a mother. She never played with dolls or played house as a child and didn’t grow up with a mother’s love. She doesn't think she can be a better parent than her father was to her. Now Mati is paying for her sins.
She goes to prison to tell Omar he’s going to become a father, but then changes her mind and leaves.
She goes to Chela, her old landlady, to take her to the abortion clinic. She doesn’t feel anything for this child and doesn’t want to have it. Chela urges Sara to take a few days to think about it, but Sara wants to get it over with.
Before the procedure can begin, the technician does an ultrasound. When Sara hears the baby’s heartbeat, she changes her mind... and brings the ultrasound picture to Lucio. "We’re going to have a baby!" Lucio is over the moon.

Weekend Activity: The Televisa Remake Game (Classic Movies Edition)
In the last week I've been watching some great classic movies, so I've decided to revive something we had fun with in the past, The Televisa Remake Game. The rules:
- Pick a classic movie, any genre. Title translation optional.
- Give your dream cast for the Televisa Remake you would produce. Actors currently under contract to Telemundo are also invited to the casting call. Although most or all character names would be changed into Spanish ones, use the original character names for clarity.
- Make note of any minor changes to setting, character relationships, etc.
- Comment on any previously posted project.
- Have fun!

Sueño de Amor (SdA) #67. Friday June 10, 2016. Repetitiveness, Wretchedness, Ludicrousness And Drabness, Washed Down With A Tall Glass Of Lala Milk
 |
| Too much stoopid will give you indigestion |
At a glance
-- We got a Lala milk commercial with plenty of filler scenes.
-- Pedro breaks up with Princess Confundida. Tee hee hee.
-- Osorio keeps torturing his heroine in his bid to capture ratings at any cost.
A closer look
At Casa Guerrero, Ernesto brings Esperanza flowers and offers to take her to her oncologist’s appointment. He says he is trying to make her current situation more bearable (llevadero).

Sueño de amor, Ep. 66 (6.9.16) What hurts the most are lies, someone please get Ricardo some morphine!
We start this episode visiting the Gallos, and Estrella is complaining that Erasmo, who just got the check from Pato last night, did it a little bit too late.
-Why?- Erasmo asks
-Well, because you could have done the same BEFORE ALL THIS STARTED (and spare me to go to Tamaulipas and service old guys against my will or you and Kiko die).
Why some people trust the police and some don't is not explained here, but I am sure that if she had reported Sansón on time, he could have been watched and/or arrested. Plan B could be getting help from Ricardo in his new justice avenger mode, but he no longer works in Vasconcelos, or does he? Is that school still open? I haven't heard anything about it anymore...
Oh, well, who am I kidding?... we have to make this last until mid september, right? Lala productos are not going to sell themselves!!

Yago #19: What would you do for your own child? 08 Jun 2016
More details of Lucio’s childhood and adolescence are revealed. Mati’s kidnapping forces him to be confronted by the memories of his relationship, or lack of relationship, with his family.
“The fear, insecurity, frustration, and envy that can destroy a human being and take him to the edge are the result of a childhood without love, and I know that better than anyone.” (El miedo, la inseguridad, la frustración, y envidia que puede destruir un ser humano y llevarlo al límite, son resultado de una crianza sin un amor, y yo lo sé mejor que nada.) – Lucio

Sueño de amor #65 Wed. 6/8/16
If this has 130 capítulos, we are at the half way point, if not, we must be approaching it. Tonight the scenes could not have been any shorter or choppier but in any case story continues on . . .
At the Nueva Luz shelter, Ricardo is still at it with Cristina and they continue bickering but finally stop to collaborate on trying to find Sandra the lost girl (with revenge on her mind). Cristina is concerned about her because she has suffered so much. Sandra is not from Mexico City and is not at her home in Puebla either. Does Cristina know of some place that Cristina likes in the city where she might have gone? She does not remember so Ricardo asks her her name as a kind of distraction that might help her remember. After fighting this technique at first, Cristina introduces herself. Ricardo looks surprised as he recognizes her as the super duper expert in pedagogy that Bárbara Santillana has been trying to track down for a while now which he tells her all about. Rodrigo explains his surprise by identifying himself as a teacher at the Instituto Palacios. He also tells Cristina, not wanting to offend her, that at the Instituto Palacios she already has a reputation as a witch. Well, she is offended but Ricardo's distraction technique worked because in th she does remember Sandra's favorite place. She looks happy about that but not so happy that his technique worked.

Tres Veces Ana - Episodes 17 - Jails, card readings and still no memory
Before you had time to recover from yesterday's episode that featured 44 minutes of Santi and Evaristo deeply staring in each other's eyes in the dark forest, Televisa brings you one where Santiago spends 44 minutes in jail waiting to be interrogated.
Let's start with important plot points we learned today to help us in deciphering what everyone's end game is.
In crazy oboe musician's memory, he is crying over Gina's coffin. Suddenly Marcelo and Mariano walk in. Cue angry stares, no doubt signaling we are about to witness Mexican standoff. Before we can though, memory cuts off.
Ramiro is remembering getting to the hospital after Gina's death. He sees Marcelo, asks him if he could see Gina. Ana Le helpfully volunteers that she saw Gina with a bottle of pills the other night. Isn't it how she died, darling? No, says Marcelo - Gina dies in her apartment from asphyxiation. She left a note. Side-comment: interesting suicide tactic. Judging from the rest of the episode, which you'll read about below, perhaps, indeed, Ana Le's plan of handing Gina pills did backfire, and in reality...could it be that Gina was killed by her own grandfather?? If so, why?
In any case, this was the exciting part, onward to the other 43 minutes then...

Tres Veces Ana - Episode 16 - Where it's all about Santi's memories and sad Ana Leticia
Hi everyone,
Sneaky is unable to watch/recap for us today, so I am putting up this short summary and we'll discuss away in the comments.
Since it worked so well last time, I will use the Game of Thrones character format (for those who read books), since that worked well last time. And - if anybody is watching current GOT season - it is moving just as slowly...

Yago #18, 6/6/16: Children Taken, Children Lost
Fidel lines up the kill shot to Julia Michel’s heart. She
has no idea her young life is about to end, as she enjoys street-side tacos
with her old friend Ambar and Ambar’s handsome new beau Yago. Fidel, fortified
by his memories of how Camilo Michel killed his three children in cold blood,
prepares to take the life of Camilo’s lone child without remorse. Suddenly,
another redhead appears in his sightline. Selma, his love, his mujer, stands
defiantly in front of clueless Julia, blocking Fidel’s shot. He calls Selma’s
cell phone and demands that she get out of the way. Selma tells him he’ll have
to shoot her too, if he wants to shoot Julia! Yago notices Selma’s presence,
and possibly notices the sniper on the roof across the street. He’s clearly
relieved when Julia’s bodyguards arrive and escort her safely away. Fidel
curses in frustration.
