TELEMUNDO WEEKEND EDITION (continuación)

Here's Page 2 for the week. The current telenovelas are as follows (all times are Eastern Daylight Time):

10 - 11PM - El Conde: Amor y Honor

This week, the long-awaited telenovela with Fernando Colunga has finally begun! Entitled El Conde: Amor y Honor, it stars Fernando Colunga and Ana Brenda Contreras and is based somewhat on Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. More information can be found on Telemundo's web site.

This Sunday (July 7), Telemundo will repeat all of the first five episodes! In the Pacific Time Zone (where I am), the episodes will be shown from 1 to 6 PM, PDT. My guess is that in the Eastern Time Zone they will be shown 1 to 6 PM EDT, but that's just a guess. Check with your local Telemundo station's Guia de Programmación to be sure..

Everyone is welcome to join in the conversation. Since discussions of all the novelas share the same page, please remember to put the name of the telenovela you're referring to at the top of your post, so readers can easily find the conversations they're looking for.

By common agreement, this group DOES NOT discuss previews, trailers, or any other plot information not found in a current or past episode of the current production. Spoilers WILL be removed by the admin. This includes reference to earlier productions of the story, and even the original novel. Thanks for your cooperation!

Hello, hello everyone!

Our blog's going strong with all the amazing recaps by our spectacular recappers!

(Recappers mentioned in alphabetical order for each telenovela:)

On the Telemundo page, dondi and Steve just finished providing us with fantastic recaps for El Señor de los Cielos 9! Novelera has started incredible recaps for El Conde: Amor y Honor!

On the Primetime page, there's some discussion on Golpe de Suerte, but no recaps yet. Double episodes can't have made the situation better.

Meanwhile, splendid recaps are written by the El Amor no Tiene Receta gang, which includes Adriana, Blue Lass, Urban and Weirdo (me) in standalone pages!

Last but definitely not least, we have Vivir de Amor getting marvellous recaps by Diana on the Daytime page, who has the MONSTROUS task of recapping a novela with 125 episodes alone!

So, what's next? What's coming? What are our brave recappers going to face next? If you're wondering, you've come to the right page.

We first get a repeat of the last scene of the previous episode, from the "I killed Berenice" part.

Sam is sad for Gin. Paz doesn't exactly explain why Gin was taken in prison ("she did some bad things"), but then again Sam is 7. We need a psychologist for this poor child. Sam asks her if it could be a mistake like Paz's, but from Paz's face it's an obvio no. They talk about the special connection they have ever since the day they met. When Sam asks her why does she think they connected immediately, Paz says "Because I'm your-" but Esteban enters and unwillingly ruins the opportunity. They talk about Kenzo and Sam asks them what happened. Esteban says that Kenzo had a little accident, but he's getting better, it's nothing. Sam comments that they're both acting weirdly. Btw, can she see her mom? Paz and Esteban exchange some looks.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Receta will only air on Monday and Friday next week. On Tuesday and Wednesday it'll be preempted by Copa de Americas and on Thursday by the presidencial debate.

We get 7 minutes of Mir and Mau talking. Mau says he didn't want to hurt her, Mir says he did, but then says things like "I can see you as much more than a monster" and leaves open some opportunities for them to be an item. Mauro gets suspicious and says he won't fall in the trap, but kisses her anyway. I hope he hasn't ordered his yoga mat yet, because I refuse to recap a yoga scene with these two.

It's that time again! Karmageddon arrives to deal itself to the evil ones we have discussed and analyzed to a degree that Freud and Jung would applaud. Evil is escalating every day as all the Deadly Sins (Pride, Greed, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth) are committed. The usual questions apply:

• What do you think the writers will do to them?

• What do you think they deserve?

If I have forgotten anything in the following, please advise so I can revise. This should include all data through episode 77.

Ginebra Nicoliti / Altair Jarabo

Full Rap Sheet Not Disclosed

Guilty of at least 12 first-degree murders, mostly outside Mexico. Also guilty of unknown counts of tax evasion, financial fraud, money laundering, arson, child abduction and trafficking, child abuse, torture of an unknown number of adults, blackmail, creating false evidence of a crime (the murder of Berenice), bribery, and an unknown number of attempted murders.

Guilty also of using her sexuality to lure victims.

Kenzo is venting histrionically to Esteban. All of this -- his ex, his kid, his not-kid, the money laundering -- is too much. He can't handle it! He feels nauseous! He wants to vomit! He must have missed the panic attack class last week and had to do a make-up lab. Esteban reminds him to breathe and assures him that they'll get through this together. After all, he's doing such a great job of managing his own household, why not take over Kenzo's, too?

Fobo continues to school Elvira in all the ways Gin is suspicious. She resists his arguments, but he points out that as her bodyguard, his first and only job is to guard her body (jeje -- he doesn't actually phrase it that way, but we're all thinking it.) He finally convinces her to "test" Gin by taking her out of the will and seeing how she reacts. Dude, are you nuts??? He better be glued to her side every second from here to the  lawyer's office, because that French Shooter is still out there.

Gin rounds the corner of Casa Roble just as Esteban and Paz are disentangling from one of their shmoopy goodbyes. How did she know to go there? Did she come straight from the railyard? Oh, who cares. I only peek out from under my beanie to take notes.
