Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey's Notes (Pt. IIB) – September 6, 2017

PART IIB – TELENOVELAS IN THE NEAR FUTURE
Here we go with the rest of the telenovelas that are now in production.

PRODUCTION #6 – ME DECLARO CULPABLE   PRODUCER: ANGELLI NESMA MEDINA
**No broadcast date for Mexico announced yet, but in production.**
I'm excited about THIS story!! The name 'Univision' is already being associated with this production (i.e. a 'Televisa/Univision' production). You guys might be surprised to hear there is one country that isn't Brazil (or, of course, Mexico) that has produced some really terrific novelas, most especially in the new millennium. Indeed the number of productions that have been produced in Mexico that were actually remakes of Argentinian originals is really quite staggering, including some that I think a lot of people would consider so intrinsically Mexican so as to be a part of the culture and country (Simplemente Maria is the one that comes most immediately to mind), as well as some very prominent or popular novelas from closer to our time (such as Amores Verdaderos, Alma de Hierro, Rebelde, Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse, Una Familia con Suerte, Un Gancho al Corazon, and I could go on).  This decade, especially, I don't know how or why, but Argentina has come out with telenovelas that are absolutely Awesome (you'll please note that's capital “A'' awesome), and a true credit to the genre. Giselle Gonzalez's next project is a remake of a recent Argentinian telenovela and so is this one of Angelli Nesma Medina.

Enamorandome De Ramon, 9/6/17 Chapter 20: Hortensia the Horrible Hatches new plan to get rid of Ramon


Repeated scene: Luisa and Juana are talking about the trouble it would bring to them if the witch AKA Hortensia found out that Juana and Fabi were dating, if they were dating. Nosy Dalia is listening when she hears Juana say that if it was between Fabi and Dalia she would prefer Dalia (fewer problems). Dalia thanks her lucky stars.


 New Scenes: Dalia does not hear when Juana says if she had no choice Dalia would be it, but the best would be for Juan to find someone completely different. She says that if Dalia and Juan got together and they had problems their friendship (Luisa and Juana’s) would suffer. They agree to try to avoid having problems in that case.

La Candidata Martes 9/5/17 Chapter 59: Confrontation


Chapter 59: Confrontation

Confrontation is something many people fear and avoid. Usually it accomplishes more than it destroys but there are many who are destroyed not by what they discover about others but about what they discover about themselves. This is what many people in power truly fear because there is often no worse exposure than the one to oneself.

Mauro called for an ambulance and an emergency medical team. He was almost in a state of panic.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey's Notes (Pt. IIA) – September 5, 2017

PART IIA – UPCOMING TELENOVELAS NEARLY HERE (OR ALREADY HERE)
Let's hope for the best for the future of our telenovela world. Without further ado, let's let Stevey get to the productions themselves! Now, again, these are all TELEVISA productions. Which of these will actually get broadcast in the U.S. or when, is anybody's guess, but if he has ANY further information as to “yea” or “nay,” he will make sure to note it in his summaries. Here he goes!  :-)
 
PRODUCTION #1 – MI MARIDO TIENE FAMILIA   PRODUCER: JUAN OSORIO
**Mexican debut was on June 5, 2017.** Currently broadcasting on Univision, but I had this written before it started airing, so please indulge me, okay?
First off, I have to confess that I can't stand Juan Osorio. I think he's a megalomaniacal idiot living off of his past successes, who patronizes his viewing audience more than he does anything else by not offering anything of any depth or real quality, just his dancing spawn Emilio (the product of his liaison with the BSC Niurka Marcos, a woman who had her own talk show where she interviewed her guests in a hot tub, and whose general classlessness is almost impressive in its absoluteness—and who appeared as herself in Mi Corazon es Tuyo), ad nauseam (you'll have to forgive me here as I deplore nepotism). In talks about his next production, the currently airing Mi Marido Tiene Familia, Osorio went off on this screed about the genre and the deplorable direction that telenovelas were going. He decried productions in the vein of La Piloto and, well, pretty much anything that Telemundo is airing, really, for being all about drugs, violence, random killings, and generally speaking, not-nice things, CERTAINLY NOT what should be on television during “family hour.” He said HIS production was designed to take the genre back to where he (being all-knowing, life-giving, all-powerful, and all that stuff) feels it should belong, and away from things like gratuitous S&M scenes and torture (as was depicted recently in Sueño de Amor, produced by…uh…oh…wait for it…YOU, Sr. Osorio…hypocrite much?).

Mi marido tiene familia Monday 9/4/17 Capítulo 10: Too Much Tequila


The bar: Blanca and her sisters Belén and Linda continue their tequila shots. They are all tipsy at this point especially Blanca. Blanca is is telling the story of what happened at the marketplace so many years ago. The pain was so bad that she didn't know when she left her little boy go. She kept calling for him as strangers took her to the hospital. She accepts that what happened was her and her son's destiny. Yes, destiny can be that cruel. Blanca thinks back again to the hospital how after her baby was born she was still asking for her son. She struggled to leave her hospital room to go looking for her Juan Pablo or at least to find a phone but the nurses held her back. After all this time, Blanca still feels so responsible even though her sisters remind her that she fainted in the middle of it all. Her sisters say she was not guilty of anything. Blanca is now sobbing. Amalia thinks it is time to ask for the check. Belén orders another bottle instead and yes! she will pay for it. Belén asks Blanca about maybe having a symbolic type of funeral with a gravesite at the cemetery so she could visit Juan Pablo. That just starts a drunk Blanca sobbing again but then she agrees slurringly that at least she would have a place to go and cry. After making another toast Blanca decides they should all sing. She needs to sing and smile but then she starts sobbing. She imitates her dance instructor laughs, sobs and has another shot. The sisters start to sing.

Imelda's house--Imelda is on the phone with Ana who stopped by to see her earlier but she wasn't in. Ana tells her that Tulio her son is at home. Does Imelda want to talk to him? Imelda insists on going over to Ana's to see Tulio. She wants Ana to send her driver for her and not tell her son she is coming. She wants to see if he will even remember who she is. Ana asks if she is sure. Imelda says she can always take a taxi. Ana looks upset.

Enamorándome de Ramón, #19, Sept. 4, 2017: The Kiss That Almost Was

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

Some scenes combined for continuity

[Previously: As Ramón approaches, Fabiola runs to him and gives him a big hug, but he stands firm with a serious look. Fabiola’s mood turns somber when Ramón confides that he has come to resign from his job.] Despite Fabiola’s efforts to convince him that he needs to stay because she already lost Juana and doesn’t want to lose him too, Ramón is adamant that he must leave his job for fear of causing more problems…and his mother asked him to. There have been too many problems and they know Hortensia won’t let up. Fabiola fears that Juana won’t see her either and thinks it unfair. She is disappointed that they’re giving up. Even though Fabiola asks him not to leave if he cares for her, Ramón is still apprehensive about the possibility that Hortensia will show up at the shop and have him sent to jail. When Fabiola sees that Ramón is not budging, she pleads with him to stay because they will be down a mechanic and he will be hard to replace. This makes Ramón wonder if it’s Fabiola or the “owner” who is asking him to stay, but Fabiola assures him it is both; nevertheless, Ramón says “no” to both and walks off to go talk to Antonio. Refusing to be defeated, Fabiola quickly texts Antonio warning him that Ramón wants to leave and asks him to please not let Ramón go.

La Candidata 9.4.17 Chapter 58: Who Will Survive and What Will Become of Them?

Hey all! This is my final recap for this novela and I wanted to say a few words to those who were with us every step of the way.

First, I’d like to thank my fellow recappers, Sandie, Cynthia, Anita, Jarifa, and our leader, Urban. You are all amazing and talented people and our team was stronger for it. We battled some crazy scheduling (I couldn’t have remained sane without your help) but we came out stronger on the other side.

To our faithful commentors, SpanProf, Lynette, Loriloo, Steve, and many others, I thank you for taking the time to leave behind words of encouragement for now and the future about this twisty tale. It’s you guys we do this for and it’s a gift to have found so many kind people to share it with.

Please know that this patio was very special to me and I hope to see all of your again very soon (hopefully another Giselle Gonzalez production) 

_________________________________________________________________________________
Regina now knows that Noemi was telling the truth and Cecelia is, in fact, her sister but Cecelia tells her that Noemi barely knows 10% of the truth. Gerardo tells Regina that he came to tell her this but Cecelia stops him because only she can tell Regina the truth. Cecelia confesses that she has known Regina is her sister, her whole life, and she feels relieved because she finally told her the truth. Regina reminds her that she slept with Alonso and Emiliano, whilst knowing she was her sister, but Cecelia explains that she was able to do it because she hates her. In fact, she reminds herself how much she hates Regina and that has given her the strength to do what she has done and she can do a lot more. Regina asks her to leave but Cecelia refuses and tells Regina that she is not better than her because they are sisters and that means they are the same, no matter how much she denies it. Gerardo tries to get Cecelia to leave and screams for Daniela to call a doctor, as Cecelia doesn’t look well, but Cecelia announces that she’s good and they aren’t calling anyone. She stands in front of the door and blocks their way.

Upcoming Telenovelas: Stevey Weighs In (Pt.I) - September 3, 2017

This Post comes from our beloved commentator Stevey, observer of all things telenovela, which fits right into all things CarayCaray. His discourse will be posted in three parts over several days: Part I—Behind the Scenes at Televisa (a must read, in my opinion); Part II—Upcoming Telenovelas (some sooner than you think); Part III—Telenovelas Farther Off in the Future (or never). Be advised the opinions expressed in this post are entirely Stevey’s and not necessarily those of the CarayCaray blog.
 
Note of caution: some of the narrative in Part II especially, contains information that could be considered spoilers, so use caution if you don’t want to read too far ahead (Anita has marked tell-tale storylines with a à.)

PART I - BEHIND THE SCENES AT TELEVISA
 
Hi everybody! First off, I'm SO sorry that this has been so unconscionably late in getting to you all (Stupid life! Slow DOWN a bit now and then, will ya??), but I really never DID forget about you, and I've actually been working on this for quite some time now (as you will, undoubtedly see), both as a result of my own loquaciousness (read: long-windedness, not knowing when to stop or shut up, etc.), as well as the fact that these situations are always constantly evolving, or at least changing. I also always want to make sure as much as I can, that anything I put out there for you guys is actually a verified FACT (no 'Fake News' here!), HOPEFULLY by contacts within the network, but if not, through viable sources, and this sometimes isn't always that easy to come by. There's actually been all kinds of network drama going on over at Televisa in regards to telenovelas, an inordinate amount, really…lots of unhappy actors, and a lot of producers gnashing their teeth and clutching their 'stress balls' more tightly than usual.  But I hope you'll enjoy what I've got for you all.

 

(Note: For anyone not interested in these things, wait for Part II – Upcoming Telenovelas, where I actually talk about the upcoming telenovelas.)

La candidata Friday 9/1/17 Capítulo 57: Mario Asks Cecilia for Help--OR-- El Cuervo Has a Good Laugh--OR--El Chulo Is Not Just Another Pretty Face

A deserted alley--El Chulo asks if Alonso wants it all to end like this. He doesn't understand why Alonso thinks he is betraying him. Alonso makes money from his businesses. Alonso is angry that Gerardo is about to get out of jail. Somebody, and he doesn't know who, made a move. El Chulo swears it wasn't him. So, who did? El Chulo doesn't know and doesn't want to know. He is interested in making money and not politics. He tells Alonso that he can ask Escalante to verify that fact. Alonso asks what Escalante has to do with this. El Chulo smirks and states that Escalante is behind the finances and reminds him that Escalante is the public face of his money laundering business. Alonso concludes that Escalante is behind it all. El Chulo says he always has been. El Chulo quickly pulls his pistol and asks if they are going to get back to business or what. Alonso gives the sign and all the weapons are lowered and put away. The stand-off is over. El Chulo is still smirking.

Gerardo's Jail Cell--El Cuervo is giving Gerardo his money's worth filling him in on Mario and his prostitution/extortion business. Mario has an associate: Isela owns a cabaret where the girls come from. El Cuervo worked for them. Gerardo adds that Mrs. Barcenas discovered that he was selling protection to them. Yes, but he didn't end up with much money because it is an organization and the money ended up getting divided up just like here in the jail. El Cuervo has something to confess. Before killing Pacheco, he had information that if sold to him was going to make him a millionaire. The information was about Mario's dirty businesses with the most important fact being that Mario was Cecilia's father and Isela her mother.

La Candidata, Thursday 8/31/17 Chapter 56: Regina Learns She Has a Sister and Who She Is

Repasando lo de ayer
In his office, Alonso learns from Magda of Omar’s accident. She promises to call the hospital for an update. Marcia runs in, breathless, to tell Al she knows exactly what happened to Don Omar. Magda leaves them. Mario arrives at the government offices and also wants to see Alonso, but Mauro stops him since he is busy with one of Mario’s “girls.” Mario is startled that Mauro knows about his prostitution ring. They start a game of one-upmanship daring each to reveal the other’s secrets to Alonso—especially the one about Cecelia being Mario’s daughter and the other about Mauro’s sexual preference. Mario backs down as Mauro urges them to go tell Alonso right then and there.
 
At the prison hospital, a hand passes money to a guard and some prisoner passes in to stand by a sleeping Gerardo. It’s El Cuervo, the dirty policeman who shot Pacheco (who later died).
 
Noemi is ready to tell Regina the truth about her father’s other family, one he’s had for a long time. Regina chalks it up to her being soused.
 
Recontando lo de hoy
Alonso’s Office – Marcia declares that Natalia pushed Omar down the stairs. Alonso doesn’t buy her story. He says right to her face that just because they had a couple of rolls in the hay she’s to be believed? How could she be that stupid, she’s nothing but trash. He tells her to disappear. She claims she was only trying to help Omar through the betrayal by Alonso’s mother. Al’s ire rises at the mention of his mother and would probably have strangled Marcia if Cecelia hadn’t interrupted. Al tells Cece to get her out of there and maybe get her a job at their mother’s cabaret. Marcia screams in defiance, but Cece drags her out.

Enamorandome de Ramon #18 8.31.17: Restraining Orders and Third Wheels

Memories are in italics. 

Hortensia chides Juana for even comparing Ricardo with Ramon, especially because Ricardo will never come back, but Juana reminds her that taking away her son will not bring back hers. Either way, she’s done trying to reason with her. Hortensia thinks it’s good she has learned her lesson and hopes Juana stops being so stubborn in the future. Juana hopes she never needs compassion from anyone in the future and leaves. Once they’ve closed the door, Margarita chides Hortensia for her actions and tells her, while she may not be lying, she has been trying to destroy Juana for some time and now Ramon will pay the price. Hortensia tells her that Juana needs to know who’s boss and Margarita congratulates her because Juana will go back to Fabiola and Andrea and tell her the “kind and human” person she is. She hopes Hortensia doesn’t regret her actions but she better not be surprised if her granddaughters see her on the street, in need of help, and don’t even bother looking her way.

Enamorandome de Ramon #17 8.30.17: False Testimonies and Love Confessions

Hortensia vows to put Ramon in jail and hopes Julio will help her out. Julio suggests she call Margarita, since she’s a lawyer, but Hortensia knows Margarita would not help; she hopes someone at the police station will help her out. Fabiola comes and chides her for reporting Ramon, who could spend up to 3 years in jail, but she doesn’t care. A policeman comes and escorts Hortensia to a room to make her statement. Fabiola asks Julio what is wrong with Hortensia that she’s being so cruel to Ramon.

Porfirio goes to dinner with Margarita, who is chugging down a glass of wine. He orders another round and she comments on how drunk they will be if they keep drinking. Porfirio doesn’t mind as he’s in the mood to celebrate, especially now that they have rid themselves of Hortensia, who has decided to get another lawyer to represent her. Porfirio gets serious and asks Margarita about their relationship. He wants to know if there are more than friends and asks if she’s ever thought about them as a couple. Margarita thinks they make a great couple at work and grabs his arm. Porfirio smiles and tells her she’s the best partner at work and goes in to kiss her but Margarita turns away. She begs him not to ruin their friendship over a night of heavy drinking. Porfirio smiles, sadly.

Chapter 54: The Arrest

Throughout history many careers have begun well and ended badly. For one to end because of a lie is a more common evil than we know An arrest is difficult but prison is a gladiator hell.

At the office, Cecelia and Magda gloated over this, knowing that Alonso was determined to destroy Gerardo. Magda became upset about Mauro. Magda said that Mauro had been behaving strangely, not like the man she knew for so many years. She had difficulty believing that Mauro would betray Alonso. Cecelia tried to get her to explain this.

Enamorándome de Ramón, #15, Aug. 28, 2017: A Dream, a Score, and a Truce…Just between Friends

Here is the recap, courtesy of RGVChick:

[Previously: Juana and Jorge are in the waiting room while Andrea is in with the doctor. Juana tells Jorge about the appointment that has been set for 5:00 p.m. When Andrea comes out from her session, Jorge worries that she has been crying. The doctor reports that Andrea seemed to remember something, but when she came to, she couldn’t remember (does this doctor not practice confidentiality?). The doctor asks to talk to either Juana or Jorge, so Juana goes in.

Julio is in his office when he gets a call from Noe Manujar who reminds him about his deadline to pay up. Julio is agitated that the man called and tells him it was not necessary. He hangs up and lets his anger out on the phone.

Back at the doctor’s office, the doctor tells Juana that he was surprised how quickly Andrea was able to relax enough to be hypnotized. After asking her some questions about her parents, he wrote down some words (book, ya que?, architecture, Paris) that Andrea mouthed when she was under and asks Juana if they have any significance. The only ones Juana commented on were architecture and Paris. The doctor sees no relationship between the words, so he tells Juana that it’s like a puzzle…it’ll take time (ya think?).
