Amores Verdaderos #35 Thu 12/27/12 Polita's dream date and jealousy cocktail poured all over Balbanera castle
Refrito:
Spoiled brat girl is still throwing silly excuses at Enabl-ina, Cristina trying to excuse herself with Sperm Donor, tries to encourage him to get his daughter and mistress together to get to know each other, he could care less about getting married at his age, Said mistress calls his cell but he won’t answer, Paula-loser nags all by herself in her apt. Remembers Cristina’s speech about true love and confronting SD. She shreds a cigar she had in a box…
Angel with Hugs fixing the flat tire, but silly little painter gets out of the car and her dress rips when Angel closes the car door. He screams at the vision in front of his eyes, she just freezes.
Lo nuevo:
LP and BAwH do a weird dance of ‘cover up – go round and round - get in car’, she yells at him not to look at her… and to hurry up… he swears he did not see anything (then why did he scream??).. she says she is cold…
Sleeping Ugly Useless Hubby wakes up at Ken-Drat’s apt, yells at KD for letting him sleep knowing he had the commitment with Little Painter, and also for turning off his cel phone. Leaves. Salsero and KD are giggling at the scene…
Back to car… Little painter now is yelling of feeling embarrassed that her throw is not enough to cover her sweet spots… Angel with Hugs offers her his shirt… say what?... well, that is all we have handy here… She keeps nagging at him that she feels embarrassed and her dress is ruined. She won’t be able to go to the convention dressed like this… she says how important the event was, but they end up lauging it off ‘I tell you ma’am, working for you is a true adventure every day’.
Enabl-ina is still talking to spoiled brat girl, she really wants to know if Robo-Hot-Hunk is married, she wants to know everything about everyone that works for her (did she ever investigate if Elabl-ina ever married?...) and about the family economics (Say what??!!) Enabl-ina does not agree that SBG should be poking for RHH’s private life… ‘I have matured, besides, everything we have gone through recently has shown me that there are folks out there trying to hurt us and I don’t like that RHH has hidden the fact that he is married. ‘
Mabila (?) runs in faking total cluelessness as to where SBG was. SBG does not give details, offers her chocolates instead. No, it gives me pimples and makes me fat… SBG eats the chocs all herself.
Polita-pink princess is ready for her date. Jean Marie gives her last minute advice. RHH gets a glimpse of her before she goes away with JM. Enabl-ina comes to give him another 101 on Asian calendar, careful, when dragons with some monkey mix up with goats, that turns in catastrophe. RHH says I don’t get it. Enabl-ina reminds him ‘you are here to protect SBG, so keep your distance’. Out goes Enabl-ina and in comes Mabila. She hangs herself on him as if she were a dress and he is a wire hanger. He figures out she was the one that locked them up. Is it funny to you? What do you want? .. you!, I want You!’ Just in time out come JM with PPP to save RHH from the jaws of drat. (I have to say PPP looks adorable in that neon pink blouse and hair pulled back).
Mabila: You are going to go out with THAT THING?
RHH: Her name is Polita (aka PPP) and yes, I have a date with her.. excuse me.
(funny, PPP gives her a ‘there! Eat THAT!’ glimpse, and when RHH and PPP are gone, Mabila is having a tantrum and looks at JM, JM gives her a ‘don’t look at me, I am not available either’ look and wraps it off with a 'you poor loser' nod)
In living room, SD is with Jealous Cris, who is nagging that her husband is not back yet. SD thinks he must get her on his side so she won’t tattle-tell about Pau-Loser. In come Little painter and Angel with Hugs laughing off what happened out there. Cris throws her tantrum no. 433, asking Little Painter what she is doing with my husband’s shirt… LP and AwH look at her with confused faces. LP gives her the explanation of their flat tired. JC won’t buy it. AwH tells JC she has no reason to talk to them like that. LP repeats the story about the dress ripping for flat tire. SD jumps in to the rescue of the almost-UFC-championship bout. LP explains to SD that what she is worried about is she could not make it to the convention, SD adds that the one that must be collecting on that fact is Odette, Wicked Old Hag Witch. They are a bit relieved to think ugly useless hubby did make it to the convention…
Said Not-sleeping-anymore UUH walks in, turns out he also had a flat tire. In jumps JC to spit her nagging ‘well, it was definitely the day of the flat tires! Real bad luck all around!’ BAwH pulls reigns her back. UUH reigns his wife, questions her about wearing AwH shirt. He asks how could that happen? We also had a flat tire.’ Dances with Sunglasses is enjoying the whole show.
Wicked Old Hag Witch is talking to KenDrat on cel… KenDrat tells her about the issues on the arriaga and Balbanera marriages… WOHW shares a plan she just came up with KenDrat. KD says it is genius plan. WOHW will provide the other players in the prank for KenDrat. Perfect. Trust me, I know what I want, I am a winner, just like you.
JC has another jealousy rage scene with BAwH, he insists there is nothing between him and LP. Jean Marie tries to smooth the scene but to no avail. BAwH asks JC what would she have done. You have to believe me. How do you want me to show you? I will swear for our daughter, the most important one in our lives. I swear in her name, that I am telling you the truth.
UUH tries to pitch his side to SD.. SD won’t have any… now WOHW will expand her clients list. Stop explaining yourself. Go make amends with my daughter. SD goes away. UUH tries to get DwS to support his side. DwS asks him if he is doubting his wife. UUH is confused, but will settle it right now! (runs to talk to LP, DwS calls KenDrat. Gives her the news of the nuclear crisis at Balbanera, she tells him she has a plan to bank on the marriage blues of those. She tells him to make sure none of the marriages reconcile. DwS says feeding UUH jealousy rages is easy, the problem is BAwH. He has the night out and is going out with his wife. KenDrat says make it so that won’t happen.
Back in kitchen, BAwH is giving the final touches to a reconciliation with JC, even though JC insists the situation is hard, LP is pretty, smart, does important things, and I am a nobody. BAwH says yeah she might have all that, but you are my wife, I chose you for my life, I love you very much. JC hugs him and swears she will try to change (YEAH RIGHT!!) I love you so much, am afraid you will grow tired of me… you don’t go through all those adventures with me. I want us to be like when we were just married… like the other night when we made love. Lets go out tonight… kissy kissy… in comes DwS, faking being happy they reconciled. BAwH says LP let him go out earlier, DwS says let me check with her that you can go. The Arriagas keep on kissy kissy. JC looks very happy with anticipation of the evening/night ahead. (poor thing)
In LP bedroom, she is the one mad at him for not trusting her.. she is sick of his distrust, you are educated and smart enough to not go through all these jealous rages. You turned your cel off! Then come with the story of the flat tired, and now you don’t trust me!! I will take a bath to try to get over the anger at you.
Again the writers have a field day with the creepy ‘could have done without’ daydream sequences, this time it is UUH thinking of LP and BAwH making out in the car… he talks himself out of believing LP would betray him. DwS knocks, walks in. and feeds him some more jealousy on LP and BAwH. He says BAwH reconciled with his wife and are kissy kissy while he has his fight with LP. BAwH wants to make sure it is ok that he leave a bit early for his off day. Then DwS picks up BA’s shirt to twist the knife some more on UUH. UUH is angry again, asks DwS to spoil BA’s night off as he spoiled mine!..
Spoiled Brat girl is still with Mabila, they are playing backgammon. SBG is still angry that RHH went out with PPP. Mabila reveals to SBG that she is the one that locked them up. SBG tells her you try and try and still he won’t sleep with you!... now it is Mabila’s turn to be angry, leaves in a huff. SBG talks to herself that RHH has such bad taste, only an ordinary loser like you could notice such a nobody like Policarpia Lopez.
At the karaoke bar, RHH and PPP are having a great time listening to someone else sing… She is in la-la land. And he is enjoying seeing her so happy. He has ordered her a non-alcoholic cocktail… she tells him Jean Marie’s advice (careful what you drink, careful what you say and mostly careful what you do). RHH finds that funny. He insists tonight she is his guest of honor. She is sooooo in la-la land.
Back at Balbanera, BAwH and JC are saying goodbye to SD, SD tells JC to remember that they talked. This triggers BA’s interest in the subject matter, but no info is shared. DwS says he needs to talk to BA for one minute. … they leave. SD gets confirmation from JC she has not spoiled any beans yet, but she says she is in a pickle, she believes in sharing all info, and omitting info is like lying to her.
In kitchen, DwS puts on a play for BAwH that they just called him from hospital that his mother is very ill, dying. And he needs BAwH to cover for him tonight. BA buys it hook, line and sinker, swallows hard, but nods a yes.
In Bedroom, LP comes out of bathroom apologizing for getting so angry. UUH tells her about DwS personal issue and that BAwH will cover for him. She says she had already given BA the night off, UUH gets irritated and does not want her to trump over his orders. What is more urgent, that your escort gets his day off or that Salsero is allowed to go see his dying mother? LP gives in.
SD is still talking to JC, convinces her that omitting info is not lying. Look what just happened, you got into a jealous rage when they arrived, you and he talked and reconciled, and you are calm now. JC buys it hook, line and sinker… JC feels embarrassed about her reaction to LP. SD says yeah you did go overboard, but you should trust LP. The most important thing to her is her family. JC comments that he sounds like a father giving advice to his daughter (BINGO!!!). JC leaves. SD talks to himself that he is sure he just got JC standing for his side again.
At Karaoke bar, it is PPP’s turn to sing… RHH is happy for her. She tells the host she is there, will sing ‘el proximo viernes’ (next Friday), and dedicates her to her friend, more than a friend, he has helped her believe in herself and gives her butterflies in her stomach. She walks over to RHH, she apologizes for what happened ‘but I love you, I love you very much’. (RHH is a bit taken aback but laughs it off, she adds ‘hey, don’t go out with anyone else, please!’… he looks away trying to not take any of it seriously, still keeps his happy stance, actually this girl can sing pretty decently. She puts all her voice, soul and body language into the song, RHH is amused, seems intrigued by the lyrics too, which are very expressive, graphic, really smiles, claps and cheers her when she is done, when she gets back to the table she says ‘for you!’, he laughs it off)
Meanwhile SBG is in her bed with headphones, remembering her kiss with RHH in bathroom. LP walks in and puts a blanket on her, SBG gets a bit startled. Asks LP how long had it been since you didn’t do this. LP admits a long time ago. SBG asks ‘do you remember you used to rub my head so I would go to sleep? ‘ ‘Yeah, dear, and I would tell you that if you did not go to sleep I would bite you! ‘ (fakes biting her leg)… they both enjoy the moment. SBG asks LP if she knew that RHH was married. This takes LP by surprise… LP says don’t remember RHH saying that he had a wife, I can check his employee record at the office on Monday. SBG is in a hurry to find out, even suggests she go to the office herself to find out. LP asks wouldn’t it be easier that you ask him he ad on?... or is it that you are interested… SBG writes off any chance of being interested… but… asks LP if she would consider a bodyguard…
Previews:
LP reluctantly says she is married, does not really want to admit she would consider a bodyguard.
We watch another dog fight between BAwH and JC (this woman won’t learn)
We see KenDrat with a black bob wig at the office, on cel phone with DwS, he asks her for details of the plan to try to get UUH to ask LP for divorce, KenDrat just insists it is genious.

Jennifer assures her they will say nothing and thanks her for telling them the truth.
The employees comment that not only have they returned to work, but also programs have been implemented to help single mothers and to train older people. Helena

Amores Verdaderos #34 Wed 12/26/12 Kiss On My List and a Whopper of a Wardrobe Malfunction
Before I start this epi, I would like to talk about friendship. Isn't it nice to see a friendship develop between a man and a woman, with no strings attached? Men and women can be friends without being friends with benefits. It's nice to see this friendship develop between Angel and Ms Vikki. They are becoming BFF's for realz and can discuss anything under the sun. Jealousy, their marriages, children, you name it. I really hope they stay friends. First part of the title of this recap courtesy of Hall and Oates.
I also want to address a comment made by Anon 11:39PM last night on Elvira's recap. Anon, I want you to know we do not EVER disparage actors on this blog, only CHARACTERS and their storylines. We do not gossip on this blog , about any actor. This blog is dedicated to the fine acting of all the actors on these TNs we recap, whether the TN is good or bad, storyline wise. In the words of Chris Ferro, a recapper here on Caray Caray "We love to mock here, don't mistake it for real hate". We are talking about the CHARACTER of Nelson, not the actor Guillermo Capetillo. Also Anon 11:39PM please give yourself a name, it doesn't have to be a real name, like maybe Marmaduke, Dr. Spock, we don't care, it is easier to answer questions this way, cause we have a lot of Anons on this blog. Thank you for your comment and please come back and comment again, whether good or bad. Now on to the recap.
We start this epi with Cris getting her make-over to be muy sexy for her Angel and the hand to hand combat training of Nikki.
So after Guzmancito has Nikki in that clinch and looks like he is about to kiss her, Zambrano intervenes and tells Guzmancito to just let her go already. He gets off of Nikki and intends to spend the rest of his day off enjoying himself. He goes and here comes Nabila the Nymphette (Thanks Anita) wanting to talk with Nikki. Nikki tells Zambrano she wants some alone time with her little friend and he goes. Guess why Nabila the Nymphette wants to talk to Nikki? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count. It's about Guzmancito and he's a MARRIED MAN, doncha know!!!! Nikki isn't buying it, no way, no how.

Por ella soy Eva #112 12/26/12: More Lies, Rumble at the Sports Bar, Is There a Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde in our Midst?
Happy Holidays to all
At Grupo Imperio- Gi- the vulture Pluti is in Helena’s office and Helena is telling Pluti that we can be married forever or that stuff happens. Nothing is for sure. Look at her parents after 30 years of marriage they are going to divorce. Pluti wasn’t in the loop for this and he loves her parents like they were his own family. (Eye rolling time!) Helena apologizes for not telling him about her parent’s private lives. Pluti throws a little tantrum, Eva knew about this, then him. Why is he not in loop for these type of things. Anything going on with her interests him and she is the most important thing in his life. (Eye rolling time again)
Eva tells Fernando that he needs to clarify with Marsela the real reason that he got fired and she needs to know Rebeca’s true involvement. Stupid Fernando says that has a good recommendation and secured a good job. Eva breaks it down slowly to him-you don’t know how to lie. Fernando continues to babble about his job and Eva has had enough. Marsela is aware of the fact that you don’t have a job and you are lying about doing the housework. Eva warns Fernando that when Marsela gets home tonight she is going to call him on the lies and he better fess up.
News Flash- Sorry Pluti- but you are not the most important person in Helena’s world. (Time to raise my eyebrows) Lalito trumps everyone! Oh well, Pluti loves him like a son and when they become a family Lalito will have siblings. Helena looked very uncomfortable at the mention of more children (or the fact that she would have to have sex with Pluti) She said that they hadn’t even spoken about children and they are not married yet, Pluti apologizes for speaking out of turn, and it won’t happen again. (As if!!!!)
Stupid Fernando wants to know why is Eva telling him this because she is Marsela’s friend. Eva never thought about Fernando (and why would she?) Fernando tries to sell himself as a passionate man and asks Eva for a kiss (I can’t wait for the day when everyone finds out who Eva really is. All of these male chauvinists will turn 50 shades of red) Eva snatches him up. Eva wants to be friends with Fernando. Fernando apologizes for insulting Eva. Eva asks Fernando for a hug, they hug and then Fernando asks her for a tongue kiss- ewww! He is a brut, but Eva likes him. (He is a likeable fool!)
Avon commercial- Mimi gives nephew Cristian some products to deliver. Fernando explains that he is not justifying what he did, but he was jealous of Marsela’s success. He is a sincere brut! They share a beer. Fernando tries to prove a point about men being the head of the family, it’s tiring. Women are victims of machismo. Fernando- men have to protect women. The doorbell rings and it’s an idiot party!! Santi arrives (Who is at work???)
Renato is happy because he can leave early from work today. (The only working person) Since he is getting off early, he and Lucia can hang out at her house. She will cook dinner and they can watch movies. She makes a sad puppy face and Renato caves in but only as a friend.
Santi tells Eva his tales of divorce woes with Angelica. Santi and Fernando are going to a sports bar to watch the Pumas soccer team. Eva chugs down her beer and says her heart is blue and her skin is golden. Fernando says that it’s not a place for women. They all head out to the game. At the sports bar (I’m not sure how anyone can see the game with that gigantic Puma flag) The Pumas score!!!! Ferni and Santi can’t believe how much Eva knows about soccer. A man (heckler) asks Eva to sit down; he can see the screens and proceeds to call the Pumas- loser. (Those are fighting words!!)
Eugenia is discussing the new possible (Claudia scam) part with her agent, Mr. Becker. The agent knows nothing about the production. Mean Claudia listens and gloats.
At the sports bar- the heckler tells Eva not to sing victory just yet and then says he doesn’t know why they let older women like her into this bar. Ferni asks if he wants to fix the problem, and with whom? He throws Santi and his jester hat (repping the Pumas) under the bus) Eva can take care of herself. Eva says- What they shouldn’t allow in the bar are misogynistic man who take advantage of weaknesses of fragile women like herself. She is poking him as she is speaking to him. Eva continues to lead the bar in a P-U-M-A cheer.
At Helena’s=Helena lets Silvia know that tomorrow the lawyer will begin the divorce proceedings. Silvia thanks Helena for her support. Silvia is very upbeat and asks Helena about the progress of her wedding. Helena confesses that Pluti makes her restless, he scares her a little. He looks at her as if she was his object. (Well Hello!) Silvia remembers that when Helena and Lalito went to Playa Mayagua and didn’t tell Pluti, he flew into a rage. Helena wanted to now if he disrespected Silvia but he didn’t. That discussion left Helena wide-eyed impactada.
Eva thanks them for inviting her and that she loves soccer and goes to the ladies room. She is stopped by the heckler- who calls her a lesbian, she doesn’t belong there, insults her about being a lady of high society and Eva tells him that she is not going to waste time explaining anything to him because it would take at least 2 centuries. She is a beautiful woman and he is a misogynist. The heckler calls her a fool and all of the Puma fans are fools. Santi and Ferni get up and the heckler says- oh you have to have one of your flunkies to defend you. Fern stands up to him. Eva tells him to never mind. He calls Santi a pollon and the punches fly. The heckler tries to leave and Ferni punches him- no one punches my friend. Everyone is fighting.
Helena is very worried about what her mother is telling her. She always sees him (Pluti) is so loving, but Silvia wants to alert Helena to the fact that he can be a Dr Jekyll. / Mr. Hyde. Helena tires to convince herself that Pluti is a good man.
Back at the rumble- the owner says that no one leaves until they pay for the damage. The police arrive, the fighting stops. Eva says that the heckler started and the heckler says that Eva started. Eva is a beautiful woman and the heckler disagrees. She acts like a man (why is he the only one to notice?) The owner shouts again that no one leaves- Eva tells him to calm down and stop shouting, everyone pays up.
Rebeca is frustrating herself by looking at the emails on the cd. She figures that there must be another email account. She doesn’t recognize any of the names, they are all business related. Again she bothers the Virgencita to help her find the email account.
Marsela comes home and finds Kevin and Jennifer texting and without dinner. A beer can is left open and Fernando is not at home. No one has seen him. An annoyed Marsela prepares a quick dinner and the kids have to help. Marsela is fuming.
Santi and Fernando are happy that Eva came. They had a good time but they miss Juan Carlos.
Eva brings Fernando home after the soccer game and explains all to Marsela, who is still steaming. They just went to see a friendly, educated game of soccer. Eva is willing to take the blame.
Renato doesn’t like romantic movies. Lucia has an idea to add to their romance theater- let’s add some romantic photos to our Face book page.
Eva left and Fernando looked like a little boy that was going to be scolded by Marsela. Fernando again lies about his involvement with Rebeca, he used her, took advantage of her, and of course Marsela doesn’t believe his cock and bull story. Rebeca did it to involve him. He needs to use his head, think. Marsela has more important things to discuss. Why are you taking me for a fool with this badge?
Lucia thinks that she can change Renato from gay to straight. Renato realizes that she in love with him but he is still gay.
Fernando tells Marsela about Dona Eva and the fun that they had.
Marsela wants to know why is Fernando lying and shows him his “work” badge.
Lucia admits that she is in love with Renato.
Juan Carlos misses being with his friends. He realizes that Fernando is an imbecile even though he is his friend. Juan can’t imagine Helena having relations with the vulture, Pluti.
Fernando admits that he lied because what man cleans his house. It’s not masculine. He did id for Kevin’s sake. Marsela says that she has been doing it for years and she does it with love. He has two weeks to find a job, whatever it may be or he has to hit the road and forget about Marsela and the kids.
Renato and Lucia are crying over her feelings. Renato apologizes to Lucia for leading her on. He loves her as a friend and not a friend with benefits. They won’t hang out with each other anymore.
Kevin and Jennifer discuss the fact that their parents are arguing over their dad losing his job but they don’t understand why he lost his job. Neither of the kids understand exactly what is going on. Kevin blames Marsela and Jennifer says that they shouldn’t argue about it.
Juan Carlos feels that he is a fool if he thinks that Helena loves him while sleeping with Pluti. (If he only knew) Mimi- tells him that it may hurt but she is engaged to someone else and he has to respect it. Juan Carlos feels that when he sees Helena that she still loves him. Whatever it costs, he is going to reconquer her.
Juan is going to check on Rebeca and the cd and then give Helena some information that has some proof about Juan Carlos’ innocence.
Mimi reminisces how Juan Carlos can put on his own make up and get dressed by himself. He has come a long way.
Kevin asks Fernando what happened at Grupo Imperio he doesn’t understand. Ferni blames it on the executives and starts talking about a first girlfriend.
Kevin and Jennifer are waiting outside of Gi and Rebeca accosts them. Kevin asks Rebeca why was his father fired. Rebeca says that it’s private. The kids beg her to tell them and she says because he was a thief.
Coming attractions: Everyone is cheering Eva at the office and Helena tells Eva that she has become her teacher
Juan Carlos tells Helena- Pluti can never love you the way that I love you
See you next year!!!

Amores Verdaderos #33 Tue 12/25/12 Lots of confrontations end up being at kissing distance
Amores - CHRISTMAS 2012 (December 25, 2012) - Cap 33—Lots of confrontations end up being at kissing distance
Hey! It was Christmas day! So I'm late! This is going to be a very brief off-the-cuff recounting of this episode from memory. Will fill in blanks later. No screencaps yet. Maybe no HD screencaps at all. Too lazy. Too full of Christmas goodies.
BRIEF-ISH SUMMARY IN INCOHERENT STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS WRITING STYLE. Events may not be listed in order. They may have occurred in the previous episode. They may not have happened at all. Hey! It was CHRISTMAS!
* Vicki tells our puppy-dog eyed Angel that he's sacked. She's blubbering and in tears. She tries to make it as clear as possible that it is not his fault, but she can't explain it was because she painted this lovingly hottie (well, it would be if it weren't so atrociously done) painting of him. *gulp* He thinks it's because he overstepped in some way. "Just tell me what it was and I'll never do it again!" She keeps on saying that's not it. "I'll never see you again but I'll never forget you." They're both all getting verklempt. At one point Big Angel gets up nose-to-nose to Vicki (kissing close) but of course nothing happens.

Por ella soy Eva #111 & 110 12/24/12 & 12/25/12: Highlights of Both Epi's
I am putting up this discussion post for both epi's. If Ezra or Melinama puts up a full recap I will take
this one down. I only saw parts of both these epi's and will put down what I remember. This will not be in order.
Pluti and Rebe, the snakes, are done with their entwining, Rebe trying to get Pluti back thru this deed, but nah, not so much. Pluti basically tells her not only no, but hell no. He also threatens her to not ever say anything about this or any of his other secrets.
Angie is trying to soak Santi for everything he's got. His parents are rich after all. What she doesn't understand is, his parents hate her and would never give Santi the money to support her. She tells Santi she will be a famous model one day and he can eat his hat, take that Santi! Well, he goes to Lucia for advice and she says something to him about Angie can't do this in Mexico, he was married in Mexico, right???right????, he has to confess he got married in Vegas, so what happened in Vegas is about to flood him in Mexico, Lucia can't beleive he was so dumb. Later, Eva talks to Santi and she says you were drunk right, when you got married? He says yeah, and he misses his friend JC. Eva wants him to spill his problems to her, but he won't. After he walks away, Eva in her true JC voice, says he misses his brother too.

succeeds and Ximena and Alonso’s car heads over the cliff landing in a ball of
fire. Hissadora looks over the edge,
“Adiós, hijito. Oh well, you’re worth
more to me dead than alive. You had gone
beyond my grasp and became my enemy and that I could not abide. And now, thanks to you, I will become
immensely wealthy.” She blows him a kiss
and walks back to her car.

Amores Verdaderos #32 Mon 12/24/12 Drama Is In the Air
* Oookay tells Guzmáncito in a sickeningly sweet way that she heard about his little problem last night. Blondie wants to know what she put in his orange juice and he doesn’t believe her when she denies everything. Anyway, he has no proof so he can’t run to Victoria to tell her a juicy story (pun intended).
* Here we have another product placement scene: at Meta Imagen Vicky and her colleagues are praising the Haggies Diapers. Was it replaced with a Baileys scene in the US?
* Bea calls mommy Paula and tells her she got a job at Meta Imagen. Pau-Whiner is impactada (because that what she does in 90% of her scenes).

Amor Bravío #90 (Uni 85) Mon 12/24/12
Capitulo
90: Two Malditos, Two Final Exits
Lo
del pasado
El Diablo voices suspicions, Alonssso calls Daniel about the meeting place. Ximeana texts Bruno, who puts the phone near Camila. Osvaldo
persuades Daniel to take a pistol with him; Augustina enters with one
from Don Daniel's collection, Daniel exits. Hissadora pretends to
be shocked at Alonssso's behavior; Viviana is not fooled. Bruno
picks up the unconscious Camila and carries her out, leaving a
burning candle and the syringe behind, near a haystack.
Lo de
nuevo
La
Malquerida; Courtyard: Hissadora and Ximeana come out.
Hissadora realizes that Daniel and his friends suspect her and may be watching her. Ximeana
asks how she benefits from Alonssso owning the ranch and Hissadora
explains that since Alonssso is mentally ill he will end up in a
psych ward and she will manage his finances. Which means she will
sell the ranch and the two bad girls can live high off the hog on the
money. Ximeana is concerned about people getting hurt because she
doesn't want any deaths on her conscience [We marvel at the news
that she even has one]. Mama Dragon tells her not to worry about
that [which we all know means that she intends to off Ximeana as
soon as she becomes a burden]. We leave them talking over their
next move in the courtyard.

Amores Verdaderos – The Christmas Special (picspam and videos)
First of all, Feliz Navidad a todos!
Televisa created a new video for Christmas that you can watch on youtube: Gracias por estar juntos un año más 2012 (Thank you for being together for one more year)
Actually, the same song was already used two years ago: Por estar juntos 2010
I think both videos are cute, but the second one is my favourite. Oh dear, Sebastián with long hair at 1:10… *fangirl squee* And the wonderful Julio Alemán was still alive.
And do you want to see the 2011 video? Here you are.

Amor Bravío #89 (Uni 84) Fri 12/21/12 In Which The Land Deal's A Steal and Leads To The Not So Big Big Reveal; Dio Can't Believe D'Andres Is DDA For Real; Yago Proves He's Still A Heel; Bruno Cops a Feel; Everyone's Still Convinced Alonso's El Gran Schlemiel
Cap #89
Part 1~~~
Part 1~~~
As the title suggests, with a few naive no puede ser
denials, a few arrogant callate’s, a couple of virgencita mia’s and a big “who
shot JR”-style surprise, you’ve got the night in spades. However, Viewerville, I must first admit celebrating
the demise of Mayan mystics and un-deserving Yucatan deities with a somewhat
liberal period of libation and besotted babbling along with munching Xmas
goodies towards midnight. Jingling of
bells will not be permitted for the next few hours.
Lo Del Pasado:
Alonso-Kimodo-Dodo and HIssadora have a major blow out in
which she threatens to blow his brains out if he doesn’t call Daniel and
threaten to blow the kidnapped Camila’s brains out in exchange for the deed to
La Malquerida and pronto and how! Of
course Boozer-Loser Lon gets a large charge by revealing his own secret to Mami
Dearest: I know you are not my baby mami
and life with you was a living Hell; and you undoubtedly killed my doddering,
decrepit, tho’ doting daddy who was old enough to have been our great-granddaddy--cuz even tho’ he could still shoot bulls-eyes, it was all in
vain cuz you, Mami, were “esteril”! Oh yes, a barren b!tch in current vernacular. He knows what he knows and won't tell how he knows (at least till she threatens to blow his brains out over that, too).
Al has fallen for Cami’s love charm like all the other goofy guys at the M.Q. (Viewerville notes with our resident medico, Carlos, that Al’s still got his h-h-h-hot tamale de Ximena. So, Al’s a real celluloid pendejo cuz his “accesorio” no longer pumps or jumps for any impending humps while in traitorous Ximeana’s presence.) It’s like go figure, Mami, while I have another temper tantrum at 39 and holding, cuz it’s all only been to save Camila from your vexing, venomous, vixendom as my murderous mother. (Viewerville notes that to a sociopath like Hisssadora, one more tantrum from the Kimodo-Dodo is like water off a duck’s back. He’s all she’s got, tho' we agree with her that more’s the pity.)

(Viewerville notes that to a sociopath like Hisssadora, one more tantrum from the Kimodo-Dodo is like water off a duck’s back. He’s all she’s got, tho' we agree with her that more’s the pity.)
Meanwhile, Dionisio’s henchmen come up empty and so do the
M.Q.’s cowhands. Xi points the finger at
Al per the plan and Francisco points another fickle finger at Isadora as the
second kidnapper to politely plant the tiniest seed of doubt now that he’s wise
to Dio and Isssa’s sexual con-exion.
Lo Del Nuevo:
The Scoobie-doo’s and Mariano are out the door.
The house help are praying to the virgencita for a miracle.
Back in the kitchen, Luzma lets
loose with the Alonso, DDA, Camila frijoles.
It’s not like everybody thinks: Sra. Camila isn’t the real owner. DDA is
the real owner and “--Don Daniel left the rancho to him to protect her from Don
Alonso who married her for her money, [interés= lit. money matters/self-interest, which amounted to her supposed
inheritance of La Malquerida].” Who is
this guy, DDa? Does the sra. know this
guy and all this? Shouldn’t she tell people what she knows so someone in
authority could do something about it or whatever??? “Yes, Sra. Cami does know
all this. But they both asked me to keep
it a secret. Sorry.” --Thanks a lot,
Luzma! (Luzma just broke telenovela
rule#100 something which demands that if you tell a secret you can only tell
half of it and must leave the rest to mischievous conjecture.) Please don’t tell anybody that you know
this.” Frustrated frowns attach
themselves on faces all around the kitchen.
Mariano catches up with the Scoobies and reveals he knows
who DDA really is, courtesy of Camila.
Can’t he come with them and join the gang? For Camila’s sake you see. By Anteing up a crass comment regarding Al’s
likely criminal intent towards Cam, he’s accepted as a new/joint member of the
gang. They jump in and race off.
Meanwhile, dastardly Bruno, still in his black ninja
stocking cap and leathers, finds the bound, passed out female lying at his
feet, “more beautiful than even her sister Ximeana”, is too much of a temptation
for him. Butt-head decides to go with
the rush in blood flow. He starts
rubbing his hands over her limp body.
In town at Vivi’s place, Licenciado Osvaldo Becerra, arrives
since he’s been summoned by Daniel. Dan
explains he has heard from Alocolonso who claims he’s got Camila (and thus him
by the shorts) and that he’ll only return her for Dan’s ceding ownership legally
of La Malquerida to Al. Dan’s
the Man and agrees to anything in the way of The Unlucky at Love de Lying Lonnie’s devilish
demands. Praise be and pass the peas! Dan agrees!! Os is all “por supuesto no puede ser”. He may never get the rancho back
legally once he crosses this Rubicon rivero.
Dan doesn’t care because Camila being back safe and sound is all that
matters to him!
The M.Q. doesn’t matter a whit to Dan’l. (Cam and some of Viewerville might want him
to think this through with the others first, and let cooler heads prevail with
a real plan like the Mission Quite
Possible Gang’s done up to now.) Aaron mentions
wisely that Aloco can’t be trusted cuz everybody knows he’s got more than a few
screws loose and not just in his caboose.
Dan says he realizes this now but hasn’t a choice in the matter. Only Camila alive and well does so he’s gonna
give the geek what he wants! Dios knows best
and agrees is Padre Anselmo’s two centavos’ worth and he accentuates the
positive with a skyward-pointing pointer finger. Os doesn’t have a choice either, says Dan, so
Os says fine, it’ll be ready in his office in half an hour for Dan to
sign. (If Os doesn’t have a legal trick
or two up his “manga” [sleeve], half of Viewerville’s going to be doing a
midnight shuffle on his grave!)
Across the way at La Buenaventura, Yago heads for bed after
Daddy Cayetano complains about people feeling impotent when it comes to being
kidnapped. Rocio walks in and gripes at
the time of night it is. He’s become
distant towards her and not at all supportive. This just proves it. Blah, blah, blah…..Cayetano tells her he’s
not been distant and is the same as always; he’s been gone longer than usual
because Camila has disappeared and nobody found a trace of her anywhere. So before she starts in on a rant, learn what’s
what first. Good night!
In Yago’s bedroom, he’s got Natalia calling him to reveal
the news about Daddy dearest being really alive but also a really real
meanie. Yago would like to give her a
hug and be supportive, but because of the search for the missing Cami, he’s
bushed, he lies, while busily looking at his photos of the beautiful blond Vivi, his supposed next conquest, whom I now (correctly?) assume he imagines in a come hither request.
==========
==========
Part 2~~
Downstairs at Amanda’s B&B meanwhile, dear and newly abused Amanda
remembers Dio sneaking in and pulling her hair nearly out of her scalp and
yelling in her face while threatening to off both her and Natalia should she
try to run away with their daughter again!
Yes, he’s got her watched 24-7, along with Natalia, but she’s got to
just find a way to take Nat with her again without Dionisio Ferrer being any
the wiser. Uhhhhh…..Os and Dan will
certainly give her a hand with absconding. "--Dan is from Chile and can give me a few heads ups about it. Tomorrow I’ll head over there to talk it over
with him."
Back across town at Viviana’s place, Rafael and Vivi walk through
the door with Mariano right behind them.
They all stop talking and stare. What’s he doing there? Mariano reveals that he’s known for a while,
courtesy of Camila, about the real DDA and only wants to help them find
her. That’s good enough for Padre A
since he and Mar are BFF’s from the old days.
He tells the three of them that Al kidnapped Cam. Aaron adds that in exchange for Daniel’s
signing over ownership of La Malquerida he will give them back Camila in one
piece, safe and sound. Aaron adds that Al took advantage of Dan’s feelings for
Camila just so he could get his own way [salir con la suya.] So, Dan’s decided to sign it all over and has
a scream fest with Rafa about that. He loves
her and he won’t risk her life for that piece of land. Mariano fingers the locket in his pocket and realizes
that Dan and Cam are back together again. He asks if they’re back together just to make
sure. Yes they’re back together again,
says Dan and they’ve got a relationship going.
Back at the M.Q., Dio, Xi, Frankie, and Agustina sit and wait for
word. Nada. Bupkes. Dio is disgusted. Camila is very important to
him…er…being Gussies’ little girl and all.
His men haven’t found a thing, either.
Gussie gushes at Dio’s er…fatherly preoccupation for her daughter and
remarks how unbearable the situation would really be if he weren’t there at her
side. Whaddaman! Featherbrained Frank chokes back a sly laugh at
that and fakes a cough. Gussie flashes “the
look” and notes her distaste forthwith. Dio
frowns, too frustrated to give a crap, I guess.
In town, Mariano offers money to back a proposition to Al to take
the money, pay his penalty, stay out of jail and leave them La Malquerida. Dan says okay and leaves a message on Al’s
voice-mail to call him back. Will he return the call or not? They don’t know. Much nail biting
ensues. Vivi hands over the medallion she
found and tells Dan she knew Cam wore it today and asks him to hang on to it
for when she comes back. He looks at the
medallion with the virgencita on it and he says a prayer to her to lend a hand
in Cami’s return. Anselmo prays along which makes it o-fficial.
That night at the dining room table nobody has any appetite. That’s when Isadora walks in too cheerfully. Dio jumps up and demands to know where she’s
been all this time. Why looking for a
house in Metepec like she told them she would be. They tell her Allocolonso’s kidnapped Cam cuz
she’s gone missing and everything points to him as the culprit. Ok. So what’s that got to do
with her she so innocently asks. “--You call him right now and tell him to hand
her over without a scratch right now or he’ll be dealing with me!” “--Okayokayokay! Cool your jets. I don’t’ think he did it, but okay.” Gussie whines that her daughter’s in danger
and she is begging her to help do something for her.
Xi is pacing in her bedroom praying for help out of whatever jam
she’s gotten herself into. (I don’t
think that’s the purview of this particular deity. Try a few floors lower down.)
Dan and Rafa are in Os’s office to sign the papers. Os and Rafa ask if Dan’s sure of this. Ay! He’s definitely the handsomest man on the
rancho, but he is also now the stoooooopidest as well, according to Rafa and Os,
when he signs his name on the dotted line.
A bit later, Muy Guapo Stoooopid Man returns to his room at the rancho and
finds A-locked’n loaded loco de lonso. "--Sorry." KABLOOIE! Dan flies
through the air with a shotgun blast to the stomach and lands dead as a
door nail. Bwajajajajajja! Then Camila wakes up from her drug-induced dream and enters into a
living nightmare of memories of Louis’s death.
========
========
P3~~
As Butt-head de Bruno starts pawing
her with major intent Cami fights back vomit and offers him money in exchange
for letting her go. He’s not interested
this time in the cold hard… cash. “Try
it; you may like it and stick around for good.”
(Not in this lifetime, Butthead Buster!)
At the M.Q. D’Andres races in with his signed documents
and demands to know where Alonso is hiding??!!!
He’s gone. He left a couple of
days ago, answers Gussie aghast. Why and how dare you demand to know after
toying with my daughter’s affections and then abandoning her? He’s come with the documents that he demanded
in exchange for Camila’s safe return alive—the deed to La Malquerida!! What?????
Dio watches as D’Aaron, Viv and Rafa line up behind Daniel. “—Daniel?”
No, says D’Aaron. I’m not
Daniel.” He dares because HE is the real
DDA! Finally D’Andres tells the
remaining five on the stairwell that he’s the real DDA! Oy vey.
Gussie is confused worse than Viewerville
now and Dio is a close second this time.
Shock and disgust from Dio. Dio
walks down the stairs with both hands firmly on the stair rail. “—You can’t
be! You tricked me!” Os pops up next. (Where the hell’d he come
from, the little bugger?) “—He’s the only and one true heir and owner of La
Malquerida and I can prove it!” “—Pahleese!!
and it’s what all of you deserve for going to Chile and trying to kill me so I
couldn’t get here to accept my inheritance.”
Gussie reverts to stooopid b!tchdom and calls him a bastard and a
murderer, tells him he used and abused her daughter, had her fall in love [and
into bed with him] by pretending to be somebody else. “--What a creep!” No, says Vivi, in Cami’s defense, she knew
all about Daniel.
So does Alonso, adds Becerra. That’s why he wants the ranch in exchange for letting her go. Gussie’s still stuck on bedding her daughter with her first cousin, but Dan assures her he did the DNA test and they are not related in any way. (Ok. Ok, except by marriage of her Mom to his Daddy, I suppose, which is just too icky by half for me to want to consider right now.) “--Then why bequeath the ranch to you instead of my daughter, his only family who he idolized?” “—Or why did you lie to me, your real father?” Dan sniffs. Really? Really? “--You may be blood, but don’t come at me with that sob story. You never worried about me! The only thing that ever mattered to you was money!” Xi points out that then he’s her brother and not the other guy. Dan ignores her and asks Isadora where Alonso is. She lies that she hasn’t a clue. “--Then locate him, he says, cause he’s not answering his cell and tell him I’ve got what he’s asked me for. But I won’t hand it over till I know that Camila is alive and well.”

She lies that she hasn’t a clue. “--Then locate him, he says, cause he’s not answering his cell and tell him I’ve got what he’s asked me for. But I won’t hand it over till I know that Camila is alive and well.”
Dorotea walks in and tells the
kitchen crew that the real DDA just arrived and revealed himself to the others,
but he’s not who they thought.
Nope. It’s Andres!! He’s the heir but not the son. Why?
“--To protect her from Alonso.”
“--Not very good at it since she’s been kidnapped and all, huh?” (He’s got a point there, I must admit.) That’s why she’s been kidnapped and unless he
gives him the ranch, he’ll kill Sra. Camila!!”
Issa tells Xi to go out and make
a call to the imbecile of a son of hers and make sure he surfaces with the
instructions. Xi slips away unseen while
DDA threatens Dio that it doesn’t end here and Isadora won’t get her way. Dio objects and insists it’s Al who’s doing
the blackmail, not them. Os pipes up
again that they conspired to kill Daniel to keep him from arriving to claim his
inheritance. Isssa tells Os to shut it
and avoid the libel and slander. Gussie
asks why he’s accusing Isadora and her hubby of such crimes. Because, Madame, your husband is part of a
tourist development, and together with Alonso, he gave this property as a
guarantee for the project. Dio asks how
he could give the property as a guarantee if he didn’t own it. Rafa explains they know that he thought Cam
would inherit it and they would easily get rid of her and take possession of
it. That’s why Don Daniel left the
rancho to Daniel. Vivi explains further
(for Gussie’s sake) to protect Cami from them.
Gussie asks Dio to swear to her that it’s all a lie. Of course he lies to her and tells her none
of it is true.
Daniel calls Dio a liar and a
coward. The wolf huffs and puffs and
demands he watch what he says about him or he’ll make him eat his words. OK.
Dan plays his information card.
“—Oh, so are you going to deny that you ordered me to kill DDA when you
thought he was Aaron? Or did you forget
you sent me to shooting lessons so that I could kill him?” “—The only thing I did was to want to protect
Camila and my wife from a fugitive of the law accused of murdering his
wife!” “—You could have called the
police. That was sufficient. You didn’t need to kill anybody!” “—For everyone in this house you were a
criminal and I wasn’t going to risk their lives.” Issa jumps in and warns Dan that unless and
until he has proof of what he’s accusing them of to keep his little trap
shut. Dan is left with the urge to shut her big trap
but simply smiles and crosses those beefcake arms of his.
Xi begs Al to call Dan and do
what she asks cuz she’s no murderer either and she doesn’t want this to go any
farther than it has to. Her sister is
involved and Isadora will kill her for sure if Al doesn’t do exactly what she
wants. Al gives in and calls.
In the kitchen Luzma gripes that
Piedad is always calling attention to her pregnancy. She can’t stand the thought of having this
baby because he isn’t normal and his life won’t be a normal one either. She races out and heads to her room where she
prays to the virgencita for forgiveness and tells the baby it’s not his fault
or hers. What has she got planned?
At La Buenaventura Ana finds
Roman’s note that says he’s run away again.
She tells Nana.
Pablo and Mariano have a chat
about the news at the M.Q. Pablo learns
that Cam and Dan are on again and Mariano is too much of a gentleman to follow
his own advice. Pablo talks him into it,
though. Ana comes in and tells Mariano
about Roman. Mariano promises that he’s
going to find Roman. FF>>
Back at the M.Q., Dio wants to
know if Nat was knowingly involved in the cover up. Nope.
Dan says he planted the picture where she found it online. Rafa reminds Dio that Dan’s a computer
engineer and can do just about anything with computers. (Is that an implied big “Duh” from Rafa to Dio
I heard?) Alonso calls. Dan answers and in front of everyone gets the
directions he’s been instructed by Mami Dearest to give Daniel. Dan reminds Al that he’s not handing over a
thing till he is certain that Camila’s alive.
He demands to talk to Camila now to be sure that she’s still alive. Bruno gets a text from Xi and a few minutes
later he dials Dan and puts Cami on the phone.
Dan thinks it’s real strange how
quickly Al got his message and called him back.
Isa says it wasn’t her doing.
Vivi remembers that Xi is gone.
Xi comes back and says she went to the can. “—Is that a crime now?”
Cami tells Daniel that it was
Alonso who did this to her. He says he
knows and is signing over La Malquerida which is all he cares about. She screams not to fall for his
blackmail. Bruno knocks her down, and
then clicks off. Yes, she seems to be
okay. He’s going to go meet Alonso now, alone, just
like he demanded. Rafa and Aaron object
cuz he can’t trust the guy. Rafa can’t
come along or follow. He won’t risk Cam’s
life that way. Dio says at least take a pistol. Os says yeah, to show him he means
business. Gussie gets one of Don Dan’s
old guns. (Hope it’s been cleaned
recently and reloaded cuz she didn’t give him any cartridges that I saw.) Gussie begs him to bring her daughter home
alive to her. Dan exits stage left (?)
and Isa fakes shortness of breath due to Alonzo’s crazy antics. “—My son’s lost his mind! Kidnapping Camila is unimaginable. I’ve got to get a breath of air. I feel I can’t breathe.” Everyone else is caught up with Gussie and beautiful,
concerned Vivi.
For Bruno, the fun stuff’s over
since there’s obviously no more time for
the perverted pr!ck (to pretend) to put the moves on Cami. He hoists her drugged-out dead weight over
his shoulder and leaves the hidy hole. To be continued Christmas Eve……..per the “avances”.

Amores Verdaderos #31 Fri 12/21/12 Out Of Touch or Private Eyes Are Watching You They See Your Every Move
I love Daryl Hall and John Oates, and for those of you that like them, Daryl Hall has a channel on Youtube called Live at Daryl's House. It is fantastic and he does all of his hits with other artists and also with John Oates. Fantastic channel and look it up sometime if you like them. The titles for this recap are of course ,courtesy of Daryl Hall and John Oates, Out of Touch and Private Eyes. Now on to this recap.
We start this epi with Chris' jealous streak and her telling the Angel to just go back to work. He has a cuddle with his daughter, who thinks she caused the whole thing, but they promise not to mention these things in front of Chris again so it doesn't set off her jealousy. Lili also tells her Papa that of course Chris isn't likin' Ms Vikki. But her Papa Angel tells her we owe so much to Ms Vikki and she saved my life, doncha know.
So Nabila still has poor Guzmancito in her clutches and wants to dance with him, but Guzmancito sure ain't feelin' it or that well either. He's just a clutchin' his tummy and the world is spinning round and round, what goes around comes around, I'll tell you why, round and round, courtesy of Rat, big hair band of the eighties, anyhoo, he's still lookin' for Nikki as he is seeing double and grabs the wrong girl. He is clutching that tummy..

He is really laying it on thick, she doesn't seem to be caving, and is about to go in, when he stops her and begs her once again. She thinks what he did was not nice at all. Yay, she didn't cave and he is pithed. She goes in her house.

Weekend Discussion: Novela Violence; Has it been escalating?
Tonight's perverted torture of Camila in Amor Bravio has driven me to initiate this discussion.
In the nearly two decades I've been watching telenovelas I have noticed that the sexual content has increased, which I have no problem with. Has the violence also increased overall or is it just Televisa's programs?
Rape appears to be more explicit in most novelas I've seen in the last few years that have this plot element and now we have physical and psychological torture which is just as evil. The narcotrafficante sub-genre is more violent by its very nature, but are other countries' more traditional novelas getting more violent? If so, why do you think this is happening?

Amores Verdaderos #30 Thu 12/20/12 The little painter that could float… Mother-GooseEggs still unbearably jealous, Dances is locked up, Robo-Hunk sees the world go round and round
* Big Angel with Hugs is hugging Little painter that didn’t know she COULD float in the water as he teaches her to float in the water at her house pool. She is freaking out and several times makes him almost drown… but he always recovers in time to save her from drowning herself… Dances with Sunglasses sees from the window and wonders ‘what in the hayride is going on here?!?’ … Little orchid solecito also sees them and concludes her mother is right in her jealous rages after all. Handy-Sina comes out a while later, after little painter realizes she COULD float in water, and little painter tells her how good a swim teacher Big Angel with Hugs turned out to be… Of course Little painter and Handy-Sina leave and Little orchid solecito comes to pool side and confronts her dad in what she interpreted happened in the pool… (nothing we have not seen before in this novella and thousands others)… he says have enough with your mom’s rages. You don’t know what I go through here, that I can’t wait for the weekend to be with you and jealous mother goose…(wasn’t there a rock song in 80’s ‘everybody’s waiting for the weekend’?) Little orchid apologizes and swears she won’t tell mother goose… Dances with sunglasses without sunglasses admires Arriaga’s ability to woo the Senora, ‘or is it the Senora who is getting enthused with Arriaga? We will have to find out’...
* Cristina, a.k.a. mother goose, is busy socializing with Pau-Whiner, admiring her piano playing skills (?)… Pau-Whiner admits she does not socialize much at all… Mother goose, still babbling admiration, opens the door and is face to face with her sperm donor…
* Little painter goes to her studio, is babbling about her new swim teacher with Handy-Sina, she trusts him so much she can’t get over herself. Smiles ear to ear. Handy-Sina reminds Little painter that Odette Longoria, a.k.a. the wicked witch of the west … is still waiting on phone. Little painter refuses to answer the call, Handy-Sina hangs up on WWOW off with some silly excuse as to why LP can’t come to phone.
* Sperm donor tells Pau-Whiner how nice Mother goose is… Pau-Whiner is irate, she wants to know if he likes MG so much, why didn’t he tell her he and Pau-Whiner have been an item for 20 yrs. (Does this woman know of any other way to talk to SD than to change his mood from totally happy to totally annoyed?) he says because she is Big Angel with Hugs’ wife, Little painter’s bodyguard, and don’t want that to get to little painter’s ears who you really are. Pau-Whiner argues that is just excuse no. 543 of why he won’t recognize Pau-Whiner in front of Little Painter et al. SD says that was the deal from the get go. There were no promises from me. It is as it is. Pau-Whiner whines she is so lonely and she can’t share anything of her life with the man she loves, her feelings, her troubles,… she is tired of living a fake life.
SD asks… ok, what is this REALLY all about? You should take a tranquilizer… Pau-Whiner shouts that it is over, she wants to live ALONE!!!... alone? Replies SD, you want me to leave my own place?... yeah, that is what I said! (of course she gets even more upset when he quietly walks out the door, she walks to her bookcase and gets a picture, apparently of Guzmancito at about 13 yrs old, yeah its him)… she hugs the picture ‘my son!..’
* At some disco somewhere, jumping Nicky is trying to get some reaction from Guzmancito…to no avail. He claims he is fine. She says if that is fine, I wonder how is it when you are tense/stressed. Nicky’s friends arrive, notices she is with her ‘guero’ bodyguard, even though he looks stiff… They join Nicky, she says she is having fun with ‘Robocop’ (ok I will take that nick for today, well, how about Robo-Hunk). They laugh when he insists he only will drink water. Ok, orange juice.. (ouch, that is an easy beverage they can ‘kick up a notch’ with alcohol, and so they do… they even tell Nicky she will see an ‘guzmancito de impacto’, a shocking Guzmancito)
* At the arriaga(leased) guest house, Bea is thanking her good fortune she has a job thanks to Little painter. Mother goose tells her she is trying to play matchmaker with Sperm Donor and Pau-Whiner. (Bea walks away, I haven’t watched last week so not sure if Bea knows who Pau-Whiner’s new potential match is really).
* Mother goose follows Bea to living room, tells MG the truth, my mom is alive, but for Robo-Hunk, it is as if she were dead, she abandoned us to go with a lover, it was very painful. I forgave her, but Robo-Hunk never did, and never will.
* Back at karaoke club, Nicky sings some song that says ‘I want you to leave…’ while Robo-Hunk begins to see the whole world go round and round around him… how many Nickys do you see, Robo-Hunk?
* In her painting studio, Little painter has made lots of progress with her painting… Handy-Sina asks how is it going with the picture of the Latin Bruce Lee? .. almost done, … Handy-Sina leaves her alone again to get inspiration. Little painter gets a phone call, it is Nicky from the club… She puts her mom at ease saying Robo-Hunk is there with her. Then she insists to her friends that Robo-Hunk does not turn her on… her friends are not in agreement. She insists she would never look twice to anyone like him, but she does not like it when a girl is slurping on his cheek since he can’t really do anything but laugh it off. She gets annoyed and goes to dance, but is still not liking it when one of her friends is dancing with Robo-Hunk…
* Big Angel with Hugs is at the apartment having merienda with family, Bea and son. They are telling Pepito jokes at table. Little orchid takes him to bed, she will tell him a story she was told when she was a kid.
* Big angel asks Bea how she is treated here. Very good. Bea tells Big Angel that she got a job at Meta Imagen as personal assistant of (?) Angel asks how did you end up there? Mother goose admits she was heading there to apologize for the last jealous scene she caused. Big Angel is fine with it. Tells Bea go ahead and take the job, I will talk to Robo-Hunk so that he won’t be angry about it.
* Sperm Donor is with Little painter at the house, TestosHubby arrives, he has no problem with SD staying. They bring up the police investigation of the last kidnapping...they all get very excited about facing the guy that was caught. Little painter wants to insult him face to face. TestosHubby wants to know how they are doing to get to the intellectual authors of the crimes. SD says they are working on it.
* Dances with S enters the painting studio… Walks around, sees the covered painting and uncovers it. Is intrigued and observes it for a good while.
* GamblerDad shows up at Paula-Whiner’s house. She argues with him about showing up whenever he wants but she has a hard time connecting to her children… She begs GD to talk to their children on her behalf. He gets angry. How come our children believe me more, me who am nothing more than an irresponsible gambler than in you, who are… your guilt complex must be very heavy… You gave it all up for nothing! (She won’t hear any more truth sermons.) He feels pity for her, but he admits they both are responsible for their current fate.
* Back at the karaoke disco, some guy named Oscar approaches Nicky-tweety. She asks about Robo-Hunk and calls him a ‘gorila de quinta’ (no good ape). She walks away to look for him, finds him kissing off with her friend Nab-ila and doesn’t like the movie one bit.
* In the kitchen, Jean Marie and Polita are having the blues… Handy-Sina wonders what is up with them. Little painter comes over and tells her Sperm Donor is coming to stay, seems he broke up with his boo… Handy-Sina is surprised that they broke off after 20 yrs… that is a bad omen.
* Back at disco, Nicky is talking to her friends about the jerk Robo-Hunk. She whispers through teeth that she hates him and leaves in a huff. Her friends conclude she either does not like him or she is head over heels for him.
* Back in painting studio, Dances concludes Little painter likes her bodyguard. This is very juicy gossip… VERY valuable. I have to see how I can benefit from it. At that moment Little painter arrives to room and Dances hides. She notices the painting is uncovered and thinks she herself left it uncovered. She whispers with a smile ‘the paint artist will decide when the world will see her work’. She locks the room behind her… Dances breathes relief.. ‘that was close’. Then realizes he is locked in… (rats! Now how do I get outahere?)
* Ken-Drat is taking a bath, thinking aloud that with the rescue of Nicky, she has TestosHubby eating out of her hand, it is just a matter of time before she is his Goddess… for now I am getting VERY well paid … ay Kendra, you are genius!!’ But I don’t need Dances anymore… from now on I will not roll again with him. Espanto calls her cell. She gets mad. He blames Jonas (the young thug) for the spoiled kidnapping. She won’t buy any, but he has been caught, is at pol station and is getting offered tons of moolah to reveal who hired him. Ken-Drat warns him he can’t mention her, or he will die, you worm. He tells her along with the money he was offered a good lawyer to minimize the sentence. She swears they can improve on the offer he got. He says you better, or I will sing like a canary. Then hangs up on her. Next call on her cell is Dances. She needs to talk to him ASAP. HE says shut up, my issue is even MORE ASAP… she asks ‘you need me to do WHAT??!!?’
* Back at Arriaga leased apt, another family gathering at the table… (when was the last time the Balvanera family had a dinner like that?) Little Orchid brings up a joke about a drowning… (seems she wants to bring up the little painter/Big Angel scene at the pool as a funny story)… Big Angel tells Mother Goose that Little painter does not know how to swim. Little orchid ads that when little painter was a kid, she almost drowned. Big Angel saved Little painter from drowning, he had to grab her by waist from below so she would come up to surface… No matter how funny they made it sound, Mother Goose is mad as heck… she was in a swimsuit, right? No, she had a full Marie Antoinette outfit, which helped her float (eh… more like drown)… Mother Goose is angry as heck and comments with sarcasm ‘now I realize how DANGEROUS your job is!!’ Big Angel tries to soften the moment up… he is sad that every time he gets to come home, she brings a jealousy rage scene. Don’t be silly childish. No, the childish one is you!, who can’t help but carry your ‘Senora’ in and out of the water!
* Back at disco, poor Robo-Hunk is still wavering with everything and everyone around him going round and round. This Oscar guy takes Nicky right out of his hands and takes her away. Robo-Hunk finally succumbs totally to his intoxication.
Previews: Dances and Ken-Drat comment that they have to let TestosHubby find out about Little painter’s infatuation with Big Angel with Hugs.
Mother Goose whines/begs God please no! please no!
Dances asks TestosHubby, you have never gone in your wife’s paint study, have you? No. If I were you I would go in there and find out what it is she does in private.

Amor Bravío #88 (Uni 83) Thu 12/20/12 Amor Desesperado
Buenas noches on the
last night of the world! Or the last
night of this age, anyway :) I've got a
cold beverage and some nachos on the way, so let's get this party started!
Camila gets
chloroformed and dragged away, leaving Daniel's necklace and la pobre de Maja
behind.
Snotty Bitch wants
to leave ASAP…she can't stand seeing Pablo with Luzma. Cayetano won't back her play. If she wants to go home, she'll go alone. Snotty Bitch makes her apologies to Agustina,
who offers her a pill for her headache, but she declines it and leaves. Cayetano moves over to sit near Yago. Agustina notices Dionisio staring at Isadora
and asks him why the hell he keeps staring at her. Dio gets pissed and says if he did like Isa,
he would have married her instead of Augie.
He asks if someone's putting ideas into her head, but Augie denies it
and glares at Francisco.
Alonso, like me, is
getting his drink on. But his is pure
liquor and mine is something fruity with maraschino cherries. And I'm in a much better mood than he is. It's probably the cherries.

Amor Bravío #87 (Uni 82) Wed 12/19/12 "Camila is Kidnapped"
Old news in town:
Dio and Isa have just been caught making out in the wine
cellar by Ximena. Dio frets about what
Ximena will do with this news. Isa tells
him not to worry, Ximena isn’t going to be a problem. Isa has her under control. Dio is not so sure. They carelessly kiss
goodbye; this time they are seen by Father Franky who puts that card up his
sleeve.
The gang is all up at the balcony overlooking the bull
corral admiring El Duende - Camila, Mariano, the kidlets and Yago. Pablo and Luzma wave to them from across the
way. Adorable Ana ask, “Is that the
novia that grandma doesn’t like?” when she hears the name Luzma. Embarrassed
laughter ensues and the gang changes the subject to congratulate the happy
couple.
Dio is in the rancho office thought bubbling to himself. Hmm, he realizes that, indeed, the
Buenaventura is worth more than El Malquerida.
Isa’s idea to seduce it out of Cayetano’s, er, hands may not be such a
bad plan. He worries about Ximena
keeping quiet about seeing him kissing Isa in the wine cellar. After all, she’s a bold one (atrevida), that
Ximena. Imagine if Dio’s secret fantasy
girl Camila were to find out. Que
horror! No, Dio decides he must do
something bold to keep Ximena under control

Amores Verdaderos #29 Wed 12/19/12 My Eyes Adored You; The Friendship Cake; The Late Night Swim
I am taking a break from baking Christmas cookies to write this recap. I have been making a traditional German Christmas cookie called Lebkuchen with a touch of the Italian (one side dipped in dark chocolate) and of course Snickerdoodles. I only mention this cause Chrissie gives Ms Vikki something in the baked good department. What you ask? Please read on. Title of this recap courtesy of Frankie Valli.
We start this epi with Nikki down for the count. We also have a meeting with Ms Vikki and Chrissie in Ms Vikki's office.
In the outer office, Gilda has taken a delivery of a package. She reads the card that comes with it and of course it is, wait for it, a package from Odette Longoria containing a product she represents and she wants the employees of Meta Imagen (henceforth known as M.I.) for them to enjoy. The nerve of her, Gilda says to Lucinda, who is lookin' mighty verklempt! Gilda calls for the Angel, who has come back with those copies. She is trying to stop him from going into the office where Ms Vikki and the Angel's wifey pooh are. She gives him what looks like two binders to make more copies to keep him busy. Three copies of one, four of the other. The Angel is like, hey wait a minute, I am Ms Vikki's bodyguard and I should be watching over her. Well, there seems to be noone else to do this, so the Angel has gotta do it. So Angel is gonna go, but notices the box of stuff Odette sent. Gilda opens the box and it's another La Vaca product just like the cheese, but this time it is drinkable yogurt. Gilda wants to toss it before Ms Vikki sees it, but the Angel manages to get a bottle of it to try, and tells Gilda all about that wonderful cheese he tried from the same company. Gilda warns him not to let Ms Vikki see this or else he'll be in trouble. No worries he says, hides the bottle in his suit jacket and goes. Gilda has put the box back under the desk.
