Mentir Para Vivir, #89, HIGHLIGHTS A photo is worth a thousand words
Yesterday I recapped by mistake Tuesday's episode (that's why you got that butchered version of Monday, but I hope I made it up to you all with that crazy hot video).
Cynderella already posted her snarktastic recap, so I won't go through all the details again; I just want to share some of the highlights, since this is an episode I quite enjoyed.

There is a new kid on the block
Ric and Mariano are in a bar, talking about the same old, same old. Ric is married, Ines is married and sick of men as of late; Ric is afraid Ines will accept the ex (who is actually still the current as far as I know) to make Alina happy; Mariano tries to cheer him up, but it’s obvious he’s just as annoyed as Viewerville is. Berenice shows up and Ric asks her if she ever talks to Alina about her father. Well, here is a bit of information worthy of a 1.01 Psychology class: when asked to draw pictures of her family, Alina either paints herself with Tito, mom and dad, or Tito, mom and Abuela Paloma – never Abuela and dad in the same drawing. How about that for some psycho-analysis?

Jacqui just happens to be in the same place and she trips and falls in
front of the bar where the guys are chatting. They jump to her rescue and offer
to take her to a clinic that is not too far away.
From all the bars and all the streets in all of
Hermosillo she just happens to injure her ankle in front of the very people she
has to stay hidden from. Funny how that always happens in telenovelas. Labels: mentir
Mentir Para Vivir #89 Tue 2/11/14 Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold by a Little Girl Wearing Pony Tails
Diner: Mariano and Ricky are having high tea as they
briefly discuss the Breton marriage dissolution problem. Ricky is upset that Oriana hasn’t been paying
attention to him. Job’s counselor, aka
Mariano suggests that Oriana may not be into Ricky anymore. Maybe after being with you, she’s turned
lesbian. He also suggests that Oriana
may not want to wait ten months or longer for Ricky’s divorce to be final. They are interrupted by Bereniece. Ricky asks Bereniece if she has spoken with
Rhodalina about visiting her father. Yes,
she did. She’s shares that Rhodalina has
been drawing pictures of a her father, mother, Tito and herself lately. BUT, if she draws a picture with Paloma in it,
the father is not included. Ricky asks
what that mean. Bereniece doesn’t know,
but she is going to discuss it with the shrink.
After the nurse leaves, Mariano is left alone to talk Ricky down from
the roof. They are interrupted by the
sight of Joaquina and her clown car hair falling on the sidewalk outside of the
restaurant. They rush out to assist her
up and escort her to Mariano’s free clinic so that he can examine her
ankle.

Que pobres tan ricos #27 Tues Feb 11, 2014 . Lupe stops Nepo and MA from trying to get to her soft spot through Emiliano. Adolfo gets home(MA and Saul see him with A-hole), Saul confronts him and he calls A-hole in panic. Mini has good news for A-hole.
Not sure where Monday ended up, I was out for the count sick on a couch and missed most of it.
MA, Lupe and Chuy have some argument about the house and the remaining balance... again! but MA won't spill the beans about how much the house is worth according to the last document.
Chuy swears to MA they will pay him the 300,000 pesos and that's it!!
Lupe and Chuy leave the room and MA starts nagging with himself about him having had the finances education and they don't know sh.... (oops! they were still just around the door and they heard him, and now they exchange the hand gesture of the number 3 ... funny it was... and MA's face of a puppy caught in the pantry was priceless)...
At Nepo's stand/store, Nepo again is using Gwendy as a relationship counselor... he keeps pessimistic about Lupe not giving him much attention and spending much time with MA. Gwendy says dont give up. MEanwhile the guy that works for Nepo is telling Nepo about some melons they had ordered that arrived. And Nepo is laughing because they turn the joke on Gwendy(relating the melons and her bust size)... seems Nepo is trying to hook these two together... Gwendy not amused by the commentary/joking around.
Back at Fonda, Chuy very excited about the posters he had made for the lucha libre event at the Fonda grand opening. In comes Tizoc with the flyers he had made about the band concert at the fonda Grand opening. Chuy begins pulling out the cards that he maintained the family with the wrestling and the wrestling 'holds' (llaves) feeding them all along. They can’t agree so they call Lupita to decide for them. She puts her foot down, since neither of you got me any certainty/assurance for your events, either you two get to an agreement or the fonda opening will have neither wrestling or music. Tizoc and Chuy keep putting pressure on Lupita, but she gets irritated and tells them ‘you two settle it!! don’t count on me!’ and leaves in a huff.
MA scares Saul again when he gets to his car. Anyway, after another anxiety attack from MA where he showed more from his AS genes than his grandpa genes talking down of the Menchaaaacas, he asks Saul if they can stop by Adolfo’s house again. This time they are lucky to catch Adolfo arriving home… and to top it off, A-hole also gets out of the car and they realize A-hole and Adolfo are far from ‘can’t stand each other’ status. (if they only occurred to pull out their phone camera… stupid duo). Instead of getting some evidence, they argue about what they have to do as next step…

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo, Capitulo 65. 02/10/14.
Joaquin spills the frijoles on JL's whereabouts. His poor baby girl is dying and once she
passes JL will inherit a grand fortune.
JL and Montse will then be able to enjoy all that money. Ale puts 2 and 2 together and comes up with 586
and concludes that this is the reason Montse sent him the divorce papers. Joaquin informs Ale that the law is no longer
looking for JL. Angelica's godmother is
the sister of the Captain of the marina and she was able to get all the charges
cleared. JL was re-instated in the
marina.
JL finds out from Angelica that Montse and Ale are no longer
together. Once Ale found out about him,
he threw her out. He no longer wants
anything to do with her. JL calls Ale an
idiot. He can't believe that Montse lied
to him. What do you mean she lied to you
questions Angelica. JL says Montse lied
that Ale found out about him and said that he forgave her. Angelica wonders when he spoke with
Montse. Months ago before we got married
lies JL. JL keeps going on and on about
Ale's behavior. He asks if Ale is going
to recognize his own son. Angelica says
Montse doubts he will. JL walks away and
mutters to himself if he only knew this all before. Angelica, one of the smart ones in the bunch,
finishes JL's thoughts and says you would have married her and taken care of
her and her son. JL apologizes. You have no idea how much it hurts me to know
that Montse is suffering. Why did she
marry him? You still love her a lot
replies Angelica. Perhaps it's best not
to answer that. I don't want you to
lie. Anyways I have always known you
love her. I'm just grateful that you
married me in spite of the love you have for her. JL says what he feels for her is different,
but just as intense.

Hello Everyone! Time for some Tuesday funnies:

Mentir Para Vivir #88 Mon 2/10/14 Marilooney gives it her all and ... fails
It has come to my attention that I recapped the wrong episode last night. Because I didn't watch Friday's show and have no clue about what is happening in this tn anymore, I didn't even realize I had skipped one episode. The Friday episode is numbered 88, so that's why I made the confusion.
Here is a brief recap of what has happeend (many thanks to Vivi, who added her piece of work, too)
And, in the meantime, enjoy this video some more. Seriously, EVERYONE stop what you're doing and WATCH THIS! (Televisa galans wish you a Happy Valentine's Day). This is what wet dreams are made of.
Ha, I guess I can write a long Preview for tonight's episode, but I've spoiled you enough already!
Again, I'm very sorry for the mix-up.
Here is a brief recap of what has happeend (many thanks to Vivi, who added her piece of work, too)
- Ric and Oriana break up again, because she is not willing to wait on his divorce - regardless of that, she will still be married
- Joaquin's daughter, Jacqui, finds out about her father's affairs from her mom, Rosa; she is shocked and upset, she wants to go to Mexico to set things straight, see what really happened; her mother warns her to be careful with Uncle Sam
- Rosa agrees to free JL from his position, especially since he still has the CD; Sam doesn't agree with this, he wants to kill 'hem all
- Maddy offends Cesar one more time, when he refuses to work for the real estate company; later with Ric and Piero, Cesar expresses his worry about his parents being involved in said business
- Homero is wondering what will Joaquin's widow and his eldest daughter will do now that he's dead; will they continue the family business? also, he's thinking about asking Ruben to snoop for him
- Ruben thinks Cesar should find out if Raquel's child is his and Cesar agrees
- Marilu sneaks into Rick's room while he's sleeping and dreaming about getting it on with Ori. She gets a few sleepy kisses out of him, until he wakes up, kicks her out, and runs to the shower to wash her cooties off. While he does that, she rips apart his desk and bookshelves and finds Ricky's gun. She fondled it, looking crazy, and takes it with her. (Vivi)
- Sam asks the bodyguard to kill JL; the bodyguard tells everything to JL and asks for his protection, but JL couldn't care less - he fires the guy
- Tony and some guy, Feliciano, talk about the way the real estate business will work: fake invoices, poor quality materials
- Maddy doesn't want to hire Seb, she screams at Tony, putting him in his place
- Fabi isn't feeling too great; Seb apologizes once again and asks her to marry him; she says no
- Oriana and JL meet; she tells him he can see Alina twice a day, but first they have to convince the girl that he's not evil (Good luck with that!)
And, in the meantime, enjoy this video some more. Seriously, EVERYONE stop what you're doing and WATCH THIS! (Televisa galans wish you a Happy Valentine's Day). This is what wet dreams are made of.
Ha, I guess I can write a long Preview for tonight's episode, but I've spoiled you enough already!
Again, I'm very sorry for the mix-up.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #26- 2/10/14: What Will MA Do? Nepo and Guendy Have a Chisme Fest!
Hola Amiguis! This capitulo was very fast this evening including the dialogue. I did this recap mainly from memory so if I got something wrong please let me know.
It is Day 22 of MA being in the same suit. I took off a couple days because in the beginning he changed his suit quite often, before he went on the run that is. So I think it is Day 22 of the same suit.
MA and Saul are talking about the million dollars set aside for the Menchacas. MA really wants the Menchanca's house now. Saul tries to talk him down. Look what Don Chuy has done, not only for MA but his whole family. Saul says by trying to take this house away from them, by some nefarious means, and chucking them out in the street who's to say they won't turn around and turn him into the cops? Has he thought of that. Even Lupita, what about her? She's been so kind, along with her Papa! All MA can think about is getting back everything that was taken from him, his life in Londres, etc. Saul is the voice of reason, and MA clearly is not listening. Saul even asks MA if he is willing to sell the Menchaca down the river for his own benefit? Saul also mentioned that MA would be the villian of the piece. He wants things his own way. Talk about entitled!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo #64- 2/7/14: You've Abandonded Me, Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Ahoy Amguis! I've been thinking about those of us sitting in that bunker of lowered expectations. We have made a nice accomodation for Ms Judy and Ms Fatima. They are sitting on a nice sofa with soft cushions with loosely locked arms, softly singing, Kumbaya and drinking chamomile to help themselves through this tumultous part of our TN. Ms Gloria is contemplating her recap for Monday, Ms Urban is working on her awesome prose, Ms NovelaMaven and Ms Elna June are having deep thoughts about these characters and thinking of a new collaboration, Ms Julia is putting her feet up and contemplating, Ms Eli is thinking of nonviolent ways to deal with Ale, Ms Elvira is thinking of the douchbaggery of Ale and how she'll deal with him next week, and me? I'm doing this recap on the fly. I have a new song for our star crossed lovers, that would be Ale and Monse, it fits their situation right now. Any subtitles you see in blue, please click on them and listen as you read the recap. Here is the second earworm for you Love Don't Live Here Anymore.
I am skipping the old and getting right to the new. Nadia gets tons of applause and a dozen roses and Pedro tells her to smile Stupid! I'd like to shut his stupid with a cast iron skillet. Addie comes up on the stage to tell Nadia that Monse has gone into labor.
Oh, my eyes, my eyes! Dimwit is sticking his tongue down Ginny's throat, although she doesn't seem to mind. He gets a call on his celly, it's his wifey pooh Fina, but he could care less and does more tongue calisthetics with Ginny.

Mentir Para Vivir #87 Fri 2/7/14 Everybody’s Back To Square One Or, Redux Sucks...Er Almost!
Lo Del Pasado:
Samuel and Wife of Joquin, aka Sra. Barragan, sit through the reading of the will. All associates/employees of The Firm, including Jose Luis, and the widowed Missus, aka the Widda Barragan, drink a toast to the Ho King's memory (and an eternity in Hell beating bongos.) Foxy Francisco, aka JL, knowing that Ho King's daughter is now running the bidnez, explains the “agreement” he had with her daddy and fears Uncle Sam won't honor it, but then realizes she's ignorant of her dead daddy's dealings and makes a breakfast date for the morning to discuss it further. Meanwhile Sammy tells The Missus not to trust Foxy Franky around her daughter.
Lo Del Nuevo:
2nes asks Paloma to nix the extra security for Alina. Dr. Varonese calls to let her know that JL won back his visitation rights. He suggests allowing Berenice to have chat sessions with Lina to help her over her trauma re: her daddy. She says she'll tell JL.
In Santo Domingo, JL expresses his sincerest sympathies to The Widda, introduces himself to her, and, in between rude outbursts from Big Mouth Sammy, asks if she or her daughter will be running the bidnez from now on. Sammy tries an unsuccessful blocking maneuver by telling The Widda that JL's a useless meddler who's lost money on the last two ventures he's been in charge of. JL calls him on it. “--If that were the case why did you authorize me to go ahead with the real estate venture? You even sent the funds to me personally.” “--Because Joaquin told me to.” JL looks over to The Missus. “--No, he didn't want any part of it.” Sammy accuses him of lying. (Viewerville gets the sense that she doesn't care for Sammy anymore than her hubby did.) Sammy accuses JL of lying. The Missus sizes up JL like, hey, if Sammy doesn't like this Jose Luis guy, he should be pretty ok in my book. She tells them this isn't the place or the time to discuss it. JL excuses himself and walks away. Sammy keeps giving Foxy the evil eye.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #24- 2/6/14: The Baby News, The Assessment and Everybody Needs a Boost Every Once In A While!
Hola Amguis! Tonight's capitulo was full of slangy stuff I didn't get. If I missed something please feel free to fill in. This recap of course will not be in any order, scenes have been combined for better flow, I will start with the new.
MA is eating at a seperate table, sampling a taco, and still in his smelly suit. He must reek! Nepo and Emil are at another table when Nepo invites "My Name is Mike" (MA) to his table, but MA declines. Nepo goes back to work.
Mini is so happy after her Doc's visit, cause now no pregnancy will ruin that figure of hers, she's just a goddess! Isela reminds her that Ahole could get a divorce from her for failure to produce the heir, never mind a spare! So Mini herself comes up with a plan, as some of you surmised all week, Mini will fake a pregnancy and get a bebe from somewhere like in steal one. Isela will help with faking the pregnancy results, as in the pee stick, get ultrasounds, and a Doctor in the Pocket so to speak, in other words, one that will cooperate. Onwards and upwards. Mini and Isela go to Ahole's office to see him. They are outside the office and Mini decides she will tell Ahole she had a great checkup, all systems are go, but to take some time getting preggers, cause Mini is sick to death of Ahole's prowress if you get my drift, in other words she wants a break. She'll tell Ahole that it's slow and steady that wins the race.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 63 - 6 February, 2013 - Maria Plots Murder
Maria Plots
Murder
“There
are glances of hatred that stab, and raise no cry of murder.”
George Eliot
Maria’s Perspective
I have been reading a lot, especially on the topics of
war, planning and strategy, psychology, and Mexican oil production. No, of course
I am not planning an act of domestic terrorism—do not be concerned or report me
to the authorities! I mean merely to make the point that I have a good
parochial school education to grade 12, and I am not stupid. I am well spoken.
I can read. I can think. I can plan.
Alejandro got me an iPad when we went on our trip and
I had a lot of time to myself. Ale wasn’t feeling quite himself on our travels,
so, with my new credit cards—Bless you, Alej!—I downloaded a bunch of books
from Amazon and sat by the pool and studied. I asked him for suggestions on the
topics I mentioned earlier and he absent-mindedly suggested Sun-Tzu’s “The Art
of War”, Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’, and
some books on psychology. I found my own books on the history of the Pemex
pipelines.
I am not worried about Ale’s grouchiness. To tell the
truth, he has always been a moody man. But, he is MY moody man, and I have
always been able to cheer him out of his sulks in the past—I can do it again.
Nothing has really changed. I just have to continue to be patient. And to plan.
I am not crazy, you know. I have not lost touch with reality. I know
that Alejandro had his reasons for marrying that vaca rubia Montserrat. But
they were stupid reasons. I TOLD him he was not going to fit in with the rich
idiots in Aguazul by marrying one of their princesses. His life was meant to be
on the Hacienda, with me. Believe me, I reminded him of that many times on our
long trip!
I will admit, at first, I acted impulsively and
perhaps unwisely when La Rubia came to Hacienda Almonte. When Tio Juventino
said that La Rubia was a problem. I agreed. When he suggested that she be
removed from the scene, I thought that this made sense. What, should I just
watch while I see a rattlesnake make a den in the home of my mate? Por supuesto
que no! I grew up on the rancho and I have common sense. On the Hacienda when
you see a rattlesnake, you kill it on the spot.

I'm betting he's not going to try to use it to get some nookie, either.
Inés is happy but worrying about what's going on with Lina.
Doc Veronese checks Lina out, not even in an exam room, but in the waiting room of Hermosillo's Only Clinic. She's fine, she just needs a sandwich and to go home to Paloma's.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #52 and 53- 2/6/14- If Looks Could Kill
Isa is worried that Sucia will fill Ara’s
head with all kinds of misinformation Art is fuming that Ara has lied to him
and has been communicating with Sucia behind his back and he didn't have a
clue. Isa tells Art to calm down because at this point they don't know the
frequency of the visits they have to get proof. She just saw them at the
restaurant; it could have been a coincidence. Isa tells

Waaah waaaah waaah, Alejandro makes the patio ask "does baby want a bottle, a big dirt bottle?" Lo Que La Vida me Robo Cap.62, Wed. 02/05/2014
Some scenes have been combined and might be out of order, I'm doing this to try and get a recap up quickly, I have a doctors visit in the morning and have had a long week, so tonight I can't stay up until 3:00 am to do my recap, I do hope you enjoy and that I've covered everything!
Refugio, oh he disappoints me so:
Refugio is a dummy, he falls into Ez's trap and agrees to have Ez pull some strings to get Esmeralda fired from the job she loves. I say he let's her dance, dancing half naked never hurt no one! Anyhoo, he later tells Jose Luis what he did and explains that the thought of Esmeralda dancing in front of other men drives him crazy, Jose Luis tells him that getting Esmeralda fired is a bad bad idea and indeed it is because Esmeralda soon finds out that Ezequiel is behind her losing her job, when she goes to confront him he throws Refugio under the bus and tells her he only did what Refugio asked him to do.
Esmeralda storms out of his office, but not before she declares that Refugio is her ex-boyfriend. Hey, can we blame her? First he gets her fired, then he pretends to be be sad that she lost her job all while knowing that he was responsible for her being on the bread line. Yeah, I'd break up with my boyfriend if he did that to me, although I'm not sure if I'd do it before or after I gave him a beating. And I'm not even a violent person.

Mentir Para Vivir #85 Wed 2/5/14 Little Orphan Alina
Spy vs Juez
Homero pays a surprise after-hours visit to the judge. “QTH? Whatta ya want,” cries the judge. Homero demands justice. He feels that if he hadn’t interfered, Alina
would be home w/Ricky and Ines would be with Paloma. But noooooo, judge had to have his little,
miserable revenge (desquite). “You ain’t all that,” replies the judge. Homero advises him he’s got a good sized file
of his errors: petty vengeance, bribes,
unlawful judgements. He demands that
Alina be returned to Ricky and Ines out of that jail ASAP. Judge thinks he can do something about
Alina’s plight (thank goodness), but Ines? No! He has a witness that says Ines
kidnapped that child. Furthermore, Ricky
is purportedly behind a grand scheme that puts Ines and Alina at the tia’s
beach house, supposedly on vacation.
Judge refuses to give up his source.
Homer accuses him of being more stubborn than a mule. Furthermore, he’s a bad person. (now that
hurt!)

Qué Pobres, Wednesday 2/5/14 (#23): Grated Expectations
Alt titles:
- Managed Expectations
- What to Expect When You're Not Expecting
MA announces his intention to have an appraiser evaluate the property - land and buildings. Just in case it turns out the Menchacas owe more than 300K pesos. (Imagine if the bank decided to increase the balance on your decades-old mortgage.) There is much grumbling.
Nepo is walking on air. He's slept late and has breakfast ready when Diego gets up, much to Diego's delight. They haven't breakfasted together in years, apparently. This seems like a good time for a serious father/son talk, but Guendy arrives. Nepo gives her and Diego his good news about Lupe.
Guendy teleports to the Mechacas' and loudly announces the noviazgo of Lupe and Nepo to the whole family, because that's totally her news to give, right? The whole family congratulates Lupe (or do I see Chuy hesitate for just a moment first?). MA hangs back. Guendy notices and insists that he give his cousin a hug and kiss. MA obliges with an awkward hug.
Lupe asks the family not to mention this to Emiliano yet. Guendy makes a kissy face at MA.
In a silent-bleep-laden scene, Ahole suffers a brief equipment malfunction when he attempts an ultra-quickie with Min before work. She takes advantage of this pause in his fervor to ask him for a bank account and a higher limit on her credit card for "household expenses." Ahole ignores her chatter, gets his concentration back, bangs her real fast, and goes to the office.
Ahole brags to Vilma about his honeymoon. She spitefully puts way too much sugar in his coffee. Again she voices her doubts about Adolfo. He's using the RP company to launder his money. It's very risky. Vilma doesn't like it. They could go to jail. Ahole replies that his own money is safe in the Caymans and in Switzerland; it's the RP money that's at risk. They're making a big profit, so what's the problem? "Yes sir, you know best," Vilma replies.
Ahole vows never to set foot in a prison. He neglects to make such a promise on Vilma's behalf.

February 4, 2014-PSMA (Por Siempre mi Amor) Recap #49 (and 50?)- He isn't just a lover, he's a fighter! (or) Damn that Esteban REALLY packs a punch!
RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:
We begin today with a scene between Isabel and FeVer.
Now a scene with Gabs and St.Nick.
After some chatting, Isa has a flashback to her married days with Feo and the one moment we could be close to cracking this case like a walnut, she begins to think she's going crazy (but who wouldn't? After blatant feticide and being abused by Aranza, I know I would.) FeVer then excuses himself and asks a worker there a favor. He instructs to snap a pic when he is hugging Isa and the worker obliges. After some more chit chat, he goes for the hug and his head is apparently big enough to block Isa's view of the camera as his goon catches the candid right under her nose. (Just for the sake of wittiness and photo-op related jokes, SAY MIZITHRA!Mozzerella! Asiago! Brie!) Also, FeVer kisses Isa's neck slightly and she gives a 0.o type face.
A scene with Art Dad which cuts to Tita and 'Za and that snips into more Nick and Gabs.

Que Pobres tan Ricos # 22, 4 Feb 2014... Lupe commits #1 sin in TNs, acts on impulse with incomplete information. Nepo in heaven, MA acts like sore loser. Isela moves in with the newlyweds. Mini relieved, A-hole feels like Three's a crowd.
Refrito:
Grandma and Frida looking for ‘don’t know what, but its important’ Lupe comes over and asks what is going on, gives Mati some words of encouragement, you have your family who love and support you.
Lo nuevo:
Mati says her grandchildren are extremes. Frida is good although rebellious. Says Leo is very selfish, like his mom(THanks Vivi!)… OTOH grandson MA is the greatest, but A-hole is the worst… A-hole is the other side of the coin, he always has two faces, using the most convenient one every time. A-hole is the dark ship with white flag. The problem is the only ones that know him well are Aureliano and myself. A-hole doesn't even visit often so as to avoid running into Aureliano.
At Cabos hotel, right in middle of escalator, A-hole spots some guys coming in the other direction, and they were staring at Mini. He almost charges them as if they had made a pass at Mini. He definitely has anger issues to work on. the poor guys were just innocently looking at Mini. (why not, she is good eye candy for boys). Mini asks him how come he kept his fortune when MA was ruined by the scandal. A-hole won’t give details, changes subject to go visit the OB GYN to check if she is already expecting. Mini asks will you still love me when I am big and bulky? A-hole says I will always love you, but first things first!! (baby ASAP!)

Lo que la vida me robó, cap. 61, Tues., 2/4/14: Oy vey María!
As the birth of Montserrat's child approaches, everyone is drawn to Aquazul.
Montserrat has never left, of course. She has passed the months of her pregnancy in the family home in Aguazul, suffering her mother's insults without the buffer of her father's love. Carlota and Rosario do their best to make up for the affection that Graciela seems incapable of giving. Montserrat's pregnancy has gone well. She looks lovely these days. No longer in mourning, she is young and fresh in simple, floral dresses that easily accommodate, but don't conceal, the blossoming of her body.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #47 & 48 Let's All Help Isabel by Doing.... Nothing
Monday's episode was a combination of two episodes. I watched all of #47 and part of #48 online. They cut out a lot of scenes, some that I think were important. Everything that was cut out is in italics. I was scrambling to take notes during last half of the show. Because I didn't watch all of #48 there may be some other scenes that were left out that I didn't see and so I didn't include. What are you doing to us Univision!
Mary explains to the kids that although she loves them all very much she must leave because the police are looking for her. Borlas will be taking care of them. The kids let Daniel know that he'd better take good care of Mari or he'll have to deal with them. Big group hug. Mari lets Agatha know what's going on with her and the kids. Dante and Borlas watch her leave from behind the stairwell.
Esteban tells Ileana and Chris that someone tried to kill Ara and Isabel. The brake lines were cut and the air bags were disabled. What do they know about Javier?
Gabi tries to comfort Isabel. Nothing can ease her pain.
Gilberto plays chess with the Padre and tells him he has Daniel's future all planned out.

Qué Pobres, Monday 2/3/14 (#21): Omar's Brilliant Plan
Oops, did I say Omar? I meant Saul. Yes I did.
The tension in the room is so thick, Nepo can feel it. He wants to leave. But Chuy demands that he stay and listen to the whole story. He's going to tell him allll about these relatives of his.
But in the end, Chuy doesn't say much. Mike is indeed his long-lost cousin from the States, and all these people are his relatives. We all WANT to live together, he explains to Nepo, but it can be complicated. As for the bruises on MA's face, he slipped and fell. That's all.
Elsewhere, Mati and Emiliano commiserate over being left out of everything. Emiliano thought it only happened to kids, but Mati explains that when you're old, people act as though you're invisible. They'll have a conversation about you right in front of you as if they were talking about an object or a pet. Mati says Emil is the first good friend she's had in a long time. She asks him to call her "Grandma."
Ahole congratulates himself on another stellar performance in bed. Six minutes, Minerva notes. She is exhausted, frustrated, and bored.
Ahole is ready for more, but Vilma calls. She has a bad feeling about Adolfo. He's paranoid and a money-launderer. She doesn't trust him.
Room service knocks. Ahole is too busy to get it, so Mini has to wrap herself up in a bedsheet to answer the door. As she shoos the guy away without a tip, she overhears Ahole mention a secret Cayman Islands bank account.
Either Vilma is very dim, or she simply doesn't want Ahole to spend too much time making babies, because it takes him half an hour to get her off the phone. He assures her that Adolfo will get them the money they need. Then he tries to ply Mini with jumbo shrimp, but she pretends to be asleep - thwarting his plan for three more baby-making attempts.
Lupe tells Nepo she needs to postpone their date. She's too busy with all of these guests. Nepo assures her that a man can always wait. (Yeah! Make like a banana and peel, Plantain King! Hahaha!!)

On the phone
with Sam, JL is upset because he can’t talk with Joaquin; also, why does he
have to be spied on by John, the new “Mike”? Sam asks JL to deal with it and
Oriana hears part of the fight and asks JL what is going on. He says that
getting out of the business is not as easy as he thought and now he has someone
watching his every move, too.
Lila, Mady and
Tony, or the Trio of the Greedy, talk about the investment in the new Real
Estate Business. Even if Ric doesn’t want the association to happen, Tony
thinks it would serve both he and Paloma right, for the way they always treated
Mady and Lila. Francisco Castro becoming an associate at Aresti Breton is the perfect revenge.
Lila and then Mady shake on it and get ready to sign the contract.
Alina is
enjoying a bunch of presents in her room with Oriana, until Jose Luis shows up;
the child’s attitude changes, so JL leaves the room. Alina says that she wants
to go back home, she misses Fabi, Tito and a bunch of other people that I
believe are the servants.

Mentir Para Vivir #82 Fri 1/31/14 Hiding in Plain Sight
capítulo 82
Lo Del Pasado:
Mad Malibu de Marilu has spitefully just opened the ID theft/false identity can of worms that everyone else had been hoping to avoid during this entire adoption farce. Hopefully she will be eventually taken to the woodshed by none other than Joaquin Barrago himself! Ricardo wants to slap the stupid b!tch silly and fights to keep his cool as she gives the judge the skinny on the Falcon/Caligaris name change and marital connection.
Lo Del Nuevo:
The judge realizes that Ric and ML are not the sweet, sensible, loving newlyweds they’d pawned themselves off as earlier. According to Mala-boo Marilu, Ric and 2nes are lovers; 2nes is a criminal and a home-wrecker; and she’s still married to another crook who also is using a false identity: Sr. Francisco Castro! The judge decides that while he investigates the situation further, Alina will have to be sent for her own welfare into the state foster system [casa hogar=orphanage], which will be a fate worse than death, apparently, for Oriana and little Lina, not to mention Paloma. Once the interview with the judge is finished, Ric tells Marilu that he’s starting divorce proceedings the next day first thing and she and her crutches can find their own way back to Fidelia’s. He heads over to Paloma’s to give Oriana the bad news.

You would not believe the trauma I just went through! I got mugged!!) Tizoc undermines his experience. Leo says he was about to be bleeding to death. Then he undermines the barrio/neighborhood. Tizoc says if you know how to defend yourself nothing would happen to you around here. Leo says if you mean being a boxer or gorilla, that is far from my idea of a man. ‘my friend’. Tizoc begins rapping to him with sound effects. From now on you are my friend. Leo is nodding in rhythm… You are Leonardo el princeso!! (the prince). Leo does not appreciate the joke. And calls Tizoc naco. Grandma Mati enjoys the show. Laughs her butt off.
Back to Cabo San Lucas. She is trying to convince him to tune it down a couple notches (like Frida told her mom a while back). He reluctantly tells her about the grandpa clause. ‘el primer nieto que tenga un hijo en legitimo matrimonio’ and I plan to be the heir of the RP empire, to share with you ‘chiquita’. She says you should have told me earlier. Then she is biting her teeth as he continues reassuring her she will be pregnanty by the end of the honeymoon.

Weekend Discussion: Controlling Mothers, Part II
Maternal Monsters, Part II
There are way more of these than
perhaps any other female villain because they can play so many cards
in the game of control. Guilt, money, religion; even sex isn't
exempt from their repertoire in their attempts to control their teen or
adult children. I was hoping to compile another Dirty Dozen, but
some of these are so spectacularly evil it just couldn't wait.
Please provide any more details if you can.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo - Capitulo 58—Aftermath of a Funeral
“What we have got here is failure to communicate.”
Cool
Hand Luke - 1967
Editorial By Elna june
There has been much discussion in the last few days about
the nature and character of certain of our players in ‘Lo Que La Vida Me Robo’.
I say that what we have got here is a failure to communicate. And I stand by my
statement—Let me explain.
The writers in this telenovela have, by and large, done a
great job. The acting, production values and dialogue are first rate, and the
pace sometimes makes me feel like I am watching a telenovela directed by Paul
Greengrass.
What we, as faithful watchers of “Robo’ need to have communicated to us now is
character development, especially of the protagonist, Alejandro Almonte. In the
last few days, culminating with the terrible death of Lauro Mendoza, I find
that I have completely ceased to care about the anti-galan Alejandro. I am no longer angry with him, as I was at
times earlier in our story, I am, quite simply, BORED with his character.
And a bored viewer cannot be a good thing, my friends. If
the writers have taken a darker direction with this telenovela protagonist,
such as we have seen in recent American primetime dramas with Tony Soprano in
“The Sopranos” and Walter White in “Breaking Bad”, or, in more classical
theatre with Shakespeare in “Macbeth”, then we viewers can know that we are
watching, fascinated, as the proverbial train wrecks. Let Ale go to the devil and serve us up some new options for Montserrat. She can practice being a single mother—that storyline has many interesting possibilities.
The tension created by Alejandro Almonte’s cruel actions has
left us viewers in a state of cognitive dissonance that is downright uncomfortable. Why is he behaving like such a jerk? We
choose up tables, we look for hidden clues in his dialogue and personal history, we try to cling to
Alejandro’s ‘right to be angry’ as a reason for his cruel actions and words. But so far his story rings hollow and his personality unlikeable.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #19-1/30/14 : AS Has a Very Bad Hair Day and Other Follies
Hola Amiguis! This capitulo was a tough one with all the slang and speed. This recap will not be in order and please let me know what I got wrong. I am still learning Y'all as you are : )
JT and Frida are still having their little chat. He even invites her to come hear his band sometime, but I don't think she wants to venture into the neighborhood. He imitates her "fresa speak".
AS is wearing that lovely, er, hideous scarf and Granny Mati hands her a mirror so she can see how loverly she looks, Not! AS is just abhorred! Leo remarks she needs a hat (in English) then says in Spanish it is a sombrero. Lupe serves Granny Mati some chicken soup, ya know they just gently killed that chicken. MA is going to show off his waiter talents he learned in Londres. He is going to serve his family. Lupe tells AS all about the neighborhood hairdresser, ya know, Guendy, but AS doesn't trust anyone from the 'hood to be touching her curly locks.
MA serves his family, that would be AS and Leo, Frida is still off talking to JT. MA serves and says basically here ya go MiLady and MiLord, things he learned in Londres, with a towel over his arm and the tray over the same arm, think Moseley in Downton Abby. Don Chuy thinks that's a hoot. MA even says he will serve Don Chuy and it will be an honor.

Mentir Para Vivir #81 Thu 1/30/14 Acusar para Arruinar
Fidelia gives Marilu a hard time, asking if she's still drunk from last night, but Inésiana is more than willing to get down on her knees, if that's what it takes to get her daughter back. Fidelia stops her from doing it and threatens to tell the judge that Marilu is a drunk. Marilu says that she's got plenty of things to tell the judge herself. Fidelia tells Inésiana that she has no idea what happened to Marilu and wonders if someone can really go crazy from one day to the next.
Once Inésiana is gone, Fidelia calls Ric to report on Marilu. She's worried that if Marilu doesn't get what she wants, she might start to take things out on Alina. Pobre de Fidelia, first Maria, then Sebastian, and now Marilu. She thinks maybe they ought to call either Mariano or Dr. Veronese to exorcise the demon or medicate her. Or maybe both. Piero tells Ric that he saw Marilu last night in a bar drinking with some guy and that in her inebriated state, she told him that Inésiana can take the kid, but she wants to keep Ric. Piero still has the guy's card.
Our trusty Hhhhhackerrrrr has finished his work. For the low, low price of $10K, what he did was
