Qué Bonito Amor #70 (Mex 104.2-105) Monday 7/22/13
Capitulo
104.2: Estos Celos Tienan Consecuencias.
Behind
the Curtain: Susanito stops the fight, Maria slaps the flowers
back into Oscar's hands. She makes the faux pas of telling Jorge
Alfredo that they are separated which pleases Oscar. She leaves the
stage, angry with both of them. Oscar further insults Jorge Alfredo
by giving them to him as a “consolation prize.” This almost
kicks-starts another fight as the curtain comes back up. They
quickly separate and face the audience. Fernando becomes annoyed with Oscar. The other guys leave the
stage and Oscar sensibly starts throwing individual flowers to the
female patrons.
Office: A nervous Siete Mares enters the office to find an annoyed Mirna, then
leaves when he doesn't know what to say.

Val's friend feels bad that he couldn't stop Marta but Chatita feeds him bread and swabs his head booboos.
Elias and Vero fight over their stuff, marriage, stuff, daughter, yaddah yaddah and Elias finally reveals that he is not so sure he still loves Vero. She is cosmetic bag gobsmacked!

La Tempestad: cast of characters
William Levy is Damián Fabré: Captain and owner of the fishing boat La Tempestad in the town called Nuestra Señora del Mar. He's sexy, strong, brave; he encounters problems, constantly being interrupted by pirate attacks, which in reality are "interventions" by a mafia dedicated to traffic in women. He gets bugged by Esthercita, the mayor's daughter, who plans to compromise and marry him. Nevertheless, he finds his true love in Marina.
Ximena Navarrete is Marina Reverte; a professional woman who has succeeded in the world of business and tourism. A beautiful woman, secure in herself, but her career is cut short by her act of justice and courage. She sees a chance to start again in the town of Nuestra Señora del Mar and there meets the love of her life, Damián Fabré.
Iván Sánchez is Hernán Saldaña: an old school chum of Marina's who was much bullied in his adolescence; now he's a powerful impresario.

Years later life put him face to face with Marina, who was brave enough to denounce him to the police for trying to rape an employee.

"La Tempestad" (The Tempest) - synopsis in English
Here's the new William Levy vehicle! And we have three open slots for recappers. If you'd like to take a day (or an every-other-week day) contact me (caray@mappamundi.com) - thanks.
The Tempest tells of the love of Marina (Ximena Navarrete) y Damián (William Levy). Marina Reverte managed a hotel until she was fired when she denounced the "important impresario" Ernesto Contreras (Manuel Ojeda) for attempted sexual abuse of an employee. He swears to wreak vengeance.
As if this were not enough, Marina gets the sad news that her mother, Beatriz Reverte (María Sorté), has a life-threatening illness and requires constant rest; she must move to a quiet place.
At the same time, in the town of Nuestra Señora del Mar, Damián Fabré (William Levy), a young captain and owner of a fishing boat called "La Tempestad" supplies merchandise to a canned food manufacturing company, "Neptuno."
Esthercita (Laura Carmine), daughter of the town's mayor, is obsessed with Damian; initially he does not respond to her flirtations, but finally he yields and she 'gets him to seduce her' [editorial indignation - poor William Levy.]
Mercedes Artigas (Daniela Romo), an elegant and mysterious woman, offers Marina the economic and financial management of Neptune, an opportunity she accepts since she doesn't have work and her mother needs to live in a tranquil location. This is how Marina comes to the village of Nuestra Señora del Mar, where she meets Damian.
Mercedes is actually Marina's biological mother [editorial indignation - not again!!??] Poor in her youth, she became pregnant by Ernesto and had twin girls [NOOOOO!!!!] - Ernesto grabbed the other twin, Magdalena (Ximena Navarrete).
Mercedes mad a fortune with which she acquired the respect of those around her, and the power to confront her enemies. She has dedicated her life to recovering her daughters and for that reason has involved herself with people of the underworld who deal in white slavery. She becomes "The Queen of the Night" and has been able to save many young victims.
In the past I've been criticized for printing too much of the sinopsis and as we have a NO SPOILERS policy here, I think this is enough.

Porque el Amor Manda #94: There Are None So Blind as Those Who Collide With Statues
By Blue Lass
Typical family day at the Ice Palace: Eli is spending quality time with Valentina; Vero is spending quality time with her makeup bag. As Vero sweeps out, Vale tells her about their excellent adventure! They visited a hovel! Five minutes of friqueando and picking through Vale's hair for lice, then Vero's in the wind. Meanwhile, Marta is in the bushes. She looks like she got into Vero's makeup bag.
Vero arrives at Rogue's and finds Paty on the landing. Lest we miss the underlying drama there, special effects splits the screen and rings a boxing bell. Veronica makes snide clasista remarks down her nose, while Paty paints a word picture of Jesus and Alma in Cancun – she's figuring Chucho is “UF-RE-UF” in the sack. The mutual needling quickly turns into a nerdy little girlfight. They both make better fists than Alma, but Vero's clearly afraid to touch anything with hers. (My money would be on Patycakes if I thought anyone would actually bet against me -- but Xochi could take both of them.)
Rogue opens the door and invites both gals in. He may not have a preference, but Sanson clearly does – he lets Paty sail right up the stairs and into the bedroom, but Vero gets the special bulldog unwelcome. She says she wants to talk strategy, but she really doesn't have any new ideas. Rogue does, though – he says he knows how to serve Vero up to Jesus on a silver platter, whatever that means. The way this show is going, it could mean on an actual silver platter, surrounded by tamales. Pre-sanitized, of course.
Cut to Marta at home, talking to a child-sized doll about how much she loves her little Jimena-boots. Either the doll or the inside of Marta's head has a really creepy child-sized giggle.

Amores Verdaderos #177 Fri 7/19/13 Three Daddies and a Little Baby; Balzac (hehe) Speaks!
Hola Patio Peeps, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times, okay, this epi isn't exactly a "Tale of Two Cities", but it is the tale of three daddies and a baby and an intercession. So please, grab your box of tissues, a glass of Bailey's with ice, and rotten tomatoes to throw at Anyballs and relax on the patio, if you can and savor this recap as it unfolds. Oh, and of course this recap will not be in order.
Two Daddies In Lili's Hospital Room:
Daddy Angel comes into Lili's room first and tells her good morning and gets absoultely no response as she lays there, pale and still. Angel is a mite worried and Doc Vicente comes in and Angel tells him about the no reaction as Vicente thinks to himself, this is my daughter. Doc Hottie goes over to Lili and tells Angel to wait outside so he can examine her to find out what the problem is, essentially to do his job. Angel reluctantly waits right outside the door.
Chapel:
Adri has brought little Adrian with her and she introduces little Adrian to the Virgincita and thanks her for the little miracle. While Adri is there she also asks for Cris' intercession with Dios to save Lili's life. Seems Lili needs a miracle.
Hospital:
Angel is busy pacing the halls, when Doc Hottie and his team are hurriedly trying to wheel Lili by, when Angel stops the gurney. He wants to speak to Lili but Doc Hottie is trying to discourage him, they are in a mad hurry. Angel wants to know what's wrong and Doc Hottie tells him it's urgent they get to surgery with Lili, what does Angel do? Wants to talk to Lili and he's a mite snippy, for the love of Dios man, just let her go to surgery! He tells Lili to be strong and finally Doc Hottie tells him it's really time to go. The Doc and the team wheel Lili to the O.R.

Corazón Indomable Fri. July 19 "I'd Love To Sin With You."
So Maricruz has stashed the kid (either boarding her at the Isla Dorada Infant Kennel or better perhaps, leaving her in Juanita's care), boxed up the remains of don Alejandro for shipping, and flown him back to Mexico City. She chose to save a few bucks by air freighting him back on a commercial flight rather than going to the expense of cranking up don A's private jet... it's not like he would have noticed the difference, anyway, so let's not be hating on her.We find ourselves with Maricruz, Tobías, and Octavio, who has some how managed to tag along, in the entryway of the mansion. Tobías seems genuinely affected by don A's death and sinks down to the second step of the stairway and weeps.

| Good Grief!...No, Really...Good...Grief |
"Mi amigo," he sobs.

Qué Bonito Amor #69 (Mex 103-104.1) Friday 7/19/13 Bringing Down The House!
capítulo 103 & 104 (formerly Of Tramps, Vamps and Various Criminals' Deals)
Lo Del Pasado:
And On With The Show!
The crowd this evening gets
another sort of spectacular to watch on stage.
The twenty-something, rich, politically connected punks refuse to admit
that Lead Punk propositioned Maria on stage during her serenade. (Hey, Trampira de Elvira—call your daddy’s
office! New meat! Have I got a guy for you!) JAntos continues beating the
snot out of all three snooty brats. El Coloso loves a good brawl and decides to
join the fight as soon as he learns Rich Punk Twenty-Somethings tried propositioning Maria
during the stage performance.
Lo Del Nuevo:
Snotty Punks threaten
the so-called two-bit small-time bar [el changarro] and its slutty 2-bit ranchera,
aka, La Perla Tapatia once Politically Connected Daddy gets wind of this with lawsuits. Concho races in to stop the brawl and finds
out from JA what started it. Suddenly
the police show up to stop the brawl.
At the same time, outside Concho’s office, malicious Mirna
and La Vampira de Elvira call a truce and conspire to join forces against Maria
and JA, who’re becoming too big for their britches for these two bitches. Mirna will show Vi the ropes of managing Daddy’s
bar so that she’ll supposedly be giving the orders around there in no time
flat. They also have a good time giving
Lourdes grief over her supposed illicit relationship with El Soñador. Lourdes won’t give up the goods on Soñador to
either Mirna or Vi and takes unnecessary lip from Trampira.

Weekend Discussion: Broadcast Formats
In the last few years we've had our ups and downs with double episodes, episodes and a half, and time slot changes. Putting aside our specific issues about how this affects us, how do you feel about this?
I'm just old enough to remember the days when US soaps were only half an hour. That never felt right; I always felt cheated, especially about Dark Shadows. NBC's Another World was the first soap to go to a one hour episode length in 1978 and that was the beginning of the trend for the rest. A later attempt at 90-minute episodes failed and the program went back to 60-minute episodes.
The current broadcast pattern of QBA has an episode and a half with one commercial break and a slightly earlier start time not given to the cable and satellite systems that carry Univision. It seems to work for the network or they wouldn't be doing it. Televisa scripts are written to make for a major or minor cliffhanger at the halfway mark or the end of the standard-length episode so that they can air in any 30-minute increment, which is why we usually don't feel like the broadcast is ending on the wrong note. All this requires is (usually) deleting the "in last night's episode" section at the beginning and picking up where the previous night's episode left off. No objections from me!
If you weren't blogging this series, what is your preferred episode length? Would you want the networks to repeat the episode after midnight or on a sister network just in case? Do you prefer watching them on Hulu or anything similar? How do you feel about limited commercial breaks? Trust me; if a program remains in prime time with fewer ads, those advertisers are paying more for that time.

Corazon Indomable #48 A Great Man Falls, and The Truth is Finally Out
We start with MC feeding Don Ailing in his hospital room. Am I the only one who is bothered by the way she’s treating him like a child? He’s sad that he could never feed her when she was a baby. Carola interrupts their child play and frowny faces are had by all.
In the cockpit, Octavio and Ed are told that the Governor’s daughter is on the plane. She wants to see Octavio. He doesn’t want to, but flight attendant woman convinces him that it might be in his best interest to not make the daughter of the Governor unhappy. And she’s had a few drinks too. Can’t wait to see if she’s a happy drunk or a mean drunk.
Carola wants to buy the casino for more than she offered before because she doesn’t want any partners. She offers $5 milliion. They are shocked. Can’t yet tell if the shock is because it’s too low or real high. It seems low to me, but I have no idea what casinos go for nowadays.

PEAM #93-7/17/13: Not Even Uri Could Have Spoiled Those Two Nights Of Passion!
Recap By Pablo
Read more »
Somewhere around 3:15 pm (mid afternoon coffee time), at Avon, Xóchitl was talking to Jéssica.
-Now, if you allow me to tell you... started Xóchitl while a very upset Jéssica interrupted her to start to imitate Quico while threatening to go to the night club and give Natasha a lesson in ''Only one reason why you don't steal anybody's love interests''. -I will go up on the stage and drag her down beating her to a pulp!- said the gorgeous brunette.
What Jéssica doesn't know is that Natasha has the whole Karate Kid movie collection (and too much time on her hands) and she knows how to defend herself, so, I would go very carefully near her...
Somewhere around 3:30 pm Elías went to pick up Valentina from school and saw Marta Ferrer, or Dr Loca, as we know her in the Caray community, so he immediately told the teacher not to let her get too close to the girl. The hamster in her brain doesn't spin the wheel and she is dangerous.
Somewhere around 3:45 pm, Uri gets a priceless gift. His freedom! Thanks to some maneuvers and money from Rogelio (who is always crying because he is almost broke), he is now free and he is furious! Although he swears he will never look for Jesús and/or touch him with a rose petal, much less hurt him, I am sure he will try, at least not on the face, but right there where we can not see...

Amalia and Ruben face-off
Amalia finally seems to have grown a back bone, I doubt that her new attitude will last longer than an episode or two but let us all hold hands and cherish the fact that for one glorious moment she has seen the light and is trying to stand up for Maria and Jorge. She has called Ruben to her house and he hopes that she has finally made up her mind about turning Jorge in to the police, she tells him that this is not the case, she has called him to ask that he leave her daughter alone. Ruben tells her that everything he has done has been to try and protect Maria because he loves her (oh, gag me with a spoon!), "yes, but you also loved your wife at one point and yet you abandoned her, I'm sure the love you feel for my daughter can also disappear, Jorge has proven that he loves my daughter above all else, and I ask that you respect their love and get out of our lives", she then goes to the door, tells him that the discussion is over and asks him to leave. Ruben stands outside and says that " no one, no one treats me this way and gets away with it". I guess it sucks to be you today dear Ruben.

Amores Verdaderos #175 Tue 7/16/13 We have Prince Charming and we have some jumping of the shark
Something more will be put here later. Discuss amongst yourselves. Quick overview with more planned to be added later.
 |
| Yep, he kisses her hand and says he'll be her stand-in baby daddy. *Viewerville melts.* |
It's been one of those days. I hate this. I want to do this episode more justice. I'll do that later. It might be much later today. Check back for updates. Lo siento!
For now, here's the super-short version based on a sketchy memory. Events may not be listed in order.
* Vicki tells Big Angel that if Lili survives, that she'll give up Big Angel forever, for Lili's sake. Much crying and teeth gnashing over this decision.
* Vicente is a dream come true for Adri. If that deadbeat dad Joan-Carlos doesn't want to be a daddy to Adri's baby, Vicente will! Hand kissing. Sigh.
* Roy the Boy visits Lili in the hospital, but his Prince Charming kiss doesn't awaken our Disney Princess. She dreams only of the Little Ape. (More on that later.)
* Big Angel tries to get Lili to wake up. She opens her eyes briefly. Big Angel is beside himself with grief and worry over her condition.
* Big Angel finds out that Roy the Boy is there at the hospital. Big Angel pops a cork. Roy the Boy convinces Big Angel of his sincerity. The two exchange a manly hug, united in solidarity over their love for Lili.
* Joan-Carlos is ticked off that Adriana seemed to move on so quickly. Jocelyn says, "What did you expect? You didn't want to be tied down! You snooze you lose!" Joan-Carlos says that he got to feel "love" for Adri, she's the first one that got to him feel at that level since Vicki, but I believe he still reiterated his disinterest in babies. Well you know dude, keep that thought because there's a Prince in White Scrubs that will be more than happy to step in for you, and frankly at the moment I think he's way hotter than you. (This opinion is subject to change, depending on how the plotline develops.)
* The Ho is talking to her henchman (I'll remember his name but don't ask me to give it now) about bumping off Gramps, because he's ticking her off with calling her on her B.S. and all. Henchman suggests that she can get to Gramps (Anibal) by trying to seduce him instead. She's willing to give it a shot. Gramps is a douchebag, but no dummy. He's not falling for it. (I drifted off during part of this so I could be getting some of it wrong.)
* Lili our Disney Princess dreams (literally, she sleeps and dreams) of a Disney Princess wedding to the Little Ape. Oh barf.
* Earlier Big Angel heard Lili whisper "Francisco!" when she briefly woke up, so the Little Ape goes in to visit her. She says she is slipping away, has no reason to live. Her dad Big Angel is got a baby on the way and a new woman. Lili doesn't need to stick around. She has only one dream in her life, and there's no time for it to be realized—she'd love to marry Guzmancito. Well, Guzmancito obviously can't grant her wish. Or can he?
* Guzmancito tells the awaiting crowd in the hospital waiting room that Lili has one last wish and that's to get hitched to him. Roy the Boy doesn't like the sound of it. But Nikki says that since Lili's going to check out soon, that Guzman should do this for her. The Little Ape has tears streaming down his face. (JUMPING THE SHARK, WE ARE JUMPING THE SHARK HARD.)
* Cande overhears Adri crying over Lili and (for a reason I missed, will fill in later!) realizes that she can't keep the secret of Lili's parentage a secret any longer. She pulls Adri aside and just dumps the truth on her. Doesn't give her the specifics, just that Lili is Lucia. Adri is spitting mad, incredulous, yadda yadda. Candi pleads with Adri to not let Big Angel know, because it would crush him. Adri's fondness for Big Angel and his inherent decentness doesn't take much time to kick in and she agrees that no one should know of Lili's true parentage. Poor Big Angel doesn't deserve that. She makes Candi promise that she won't say anything of this (that Adri knows the truth) to Gramps. END OF EPISODE.
AVANCES: Adri tells Vicente that Lili is "their" daughter. Adri gives birth. Joan-Carlos comes to see her. Guzmancito visits Lili and says he's willing to fulfill her dream.

PEAM, Tuesday 7/16/13 (#92): I Was Told There Would Be Pancakes.
In the avances for tonight's show, I saw Yuri stab some pancakes with a fork. I was very worried about those pancakes. I thought about them all day long. But tonight, I saw no pancakes. I watched twice.
But we don't talk about food here as if that's the only thing on our minds. We're trying to prove that we're different; we're not like those other people who show up for a recap with a bunch of flowers or a bottle of wine but in the back of their minds are just thinking "chilaquiles... mole poblano... pozole..." like cavemen. Or animals. We want to distinguish ourselves as the sort of people who are above such things. Or at least the sort of people who can temporarily pretend to be above such things.

Here is the recap, guys! I apologize for any spelling mistakes, it's 2a.m. in my part of the world and I'm feeling so sleepy. I'll try to find them tomorrow with a fresh set of eyes.
At long last, Don Ailing finds out Maricruz is his daughter. And his crying is breaking my heart as he desperately squeezes MC to his chest.
At long last, Don Ailing finds out Maricruz is his daughter. And his crying is breaking my heart as he desperately squeezes MC to his chest.
The shock of the news makes him feel dizzy, though, so he asks MC to get

them – she is not amused by the touching father-daughter reunion.

know how to communicate with the poor girl. They manage to make her push and
after a lot of cringing and heavy breathing, the baby is finally out and
healthily crying. He is huge and very clean, but he is such a cutie…
Tobias is waiting for news in the hallway. The doctor comes to tell him
everything was fine, Solita had a healthy baby boy; she is still tired, but
there is hope she will recover.
Don Ailing is in the hospital, too; he seems to be in a state of shock,
as the doctor revises him and then asks to talk to MC outside the room.
