Upcoming Productions to Keep an Eye On - 2014

UPDATE: Blog Mom has moved the update to its own post, see New Productions on the Horizon, Updated
These are snippets of news on new telenovelas in production or starting on Univision or Telemundo probably airing in 2015.

PASION DE AMOR is a new telenovela produced by Roberto Gómez Fernández in a brand new story by Cuauthémoc Blanco for Televisa. It was confirmed that Esmeralda Pimentel landed the lead role in the highly anticipated drama and will be paired up with Erick Elias. Pimentel is known for her work on Abismo De Pasión, Cachito De Cielo, and De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero.

Claudia Ramírez is the antagonista. It also stars René Stickler, Eugenia Cauduro, Helena Rojo, a special participation by Alfonso Dosal and first actors Patricia Reyes Spíndola, Luis Couturier and Angelina Peláez. Production started in Mexico in February 4, 2014.



AMORES CON TRAMPA, for Univision, featuring Eduardo Yañez and Itati Cantoral. It is a comedy, based on the Chilean telenovela from last year called Somos los Carmonas. It plays like the Beverly Hillbillies - a rural family gets rich and moves to a posh neighborhood. Scheduled to start broadcasting when Mi Corazon es Tuyo ends.


C'mon folks, we need some more news of new telenovelas coming up.


Is anyone watching JANE THE VIRGIN (Mondays at 9 on The CW) and would like to start commenting? It's in English, set in Miami where legal and illegal money meets americanized Latin culture. There's intrigue, romance, multi-cultural characters and lots of fun.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #79- March 25, 2014- GMeanie- R.I.P.


 RECAP BY CORAZONSALVAJE:

Mauricio, Edgar and Arturo confront Efrain about this injustice and he denies all mercy. He doesn't care about Esteban's predicament at all.
-Isabel and Alacranza are about to begin arguing when Dafne comes in and then Aranza begins to pick her bones with Dafne until she gets the idea to go see Esteban in his cell. Tenderness in that scene where they get practically let each other know they're still in love with each other and want to get back to the old days (think Perdoname by Camilo Blanes.)
-Dafne is bitching to Isabel about how bad her loins burn for Esteban and that Aranza had her chance. Isabel notes that maybe Aranza is still in love and Dafne scoffs at that. She also bitchily asks what is wrong with Esteban being her boyfriend and notes 'Za had her chance.
-More jail tenderness and 'Za lets BonBon know he is one of her best friends. He takes her hand through the cell and touches it to his heart.
-Isa is fending off Daffne's bitchiness and moments like this makes you think, there have barely been any slaps in this novela, one is due RIGHT NOW!
-I think our last scene of BonBon/'Za jubilee for the day.
-Mauricio's feather are really ruffled about this as he, Art Dad and Edgar take it outside and devise a plan (and with 72 hours only!) I can only imagine the craziness if he got a finger on Methuselah's hairy chin; It would have been more violent than when Meth. got beat up at the beginning!
-Our last scene of Daffne/Isa tedious angst for the day. (HOPEFULLY!)
-Finally we have a better storyline! Angelito is with Borlas (clad in black tank top) and DannyBoy (clad in purple shirt) They have brought him to go see Minerva and Angelito wants to introduce Borlas and DannyBoy to 'Drea and 'Va (Minerva)
-(Ugh, back too soon) FeVer is with 'Za eating lunch (and so I don't lose mine, I will leave it at that)
-Theme Song-
-Back with Angelito and the super boys (and gone too soon)
-More FeVer grossness (with a twist, EffinRain -Methuselah- is on the phone with him and I can't stand to look at, let alone talk about that beast. Do his pubic hairs grow on his face!)
-Andrea is leaving Angelito with 'Va for a little and after 'Drea leaves, 'Va prays for everyone's well-being.
-Bro to Bro with Art Dad and Fabric. discussing BonBon's dilemma.
-'Drea is getting out of seeing BonBon when she hugs Isa and Daffne. They all lament in unison. Mauricio comes in and lets them know they have 72 hours.
-More bro-to-bro.
-More lamenting
-Borlas and DannyBoy are sitting guard outside and get bored so they actually do something. They go to see 'Va and let her know they saved Angel.
-Mauricio is giving BonBon the skinny
-Isa is on the phone and gets the news. She and 'Drea hug.
-Borlas and Angelito give 'Va the skinny now.
-'Drea is with Mauricio lamenting asking who could be responsible for so much horror and misfortune?
-'Va meets Borlas and DannyBoy as a duo and they tell her not to call the police since the kidnapper lives in the vecindad. She objects but "follows through" with it.
-Bruno is playing with Gabs' belly (yep you heard that right)
-When our hero duo let 'Va know who -Gonzalo- was the kidnapper, she blows a gasket and walks off in a huff. She goes to see Angel, tells him she must leave for a minute and when she returns, he isn't there! He is outside playing with a ball and it falls over the rail. He walks downstairs to get it and kicks it towards a door where behind Gonzalo and Dante are concocting another evil cockamamie scheme! Angelito goes running to see Borlas and Daniel who are with Agatha. He tells them who he heard when 'Va comes in and finds Angel. He tells them again Gonzalo is present and evil brewing! The police arrive in the nick of time and Gonzalo hears the sirens; he's out! When 'Va hears that Gonzalo is in the building, she doesn't waste any time in letting him get away and sees him through the doorway, she flies over to him (IT'S A MIRACLE!) throwing away the cane and jostles him. Borlas and DannyBoy come out and Gonzalo had 'Va in a headlock. She cusses him out as he drags her out with his dagger to her neck and she bites him. Get ready...................HE STABS HER PLAIN IN THE STOMACH! Good thing the police are right there. DannyBoy coaches 'Va to look at him and not into the light. Borlas runs back in to call an ambulance & let Agatha know what happened and soon he and DannyBoy will go see Andrea and Mauricio. Dante (I hope no one forgot he was there) just watched all this and said nothing. (I think since Gonzo betrayed him the moment the police came, he is going to let FeVer know and try to become his henchman of the month.)
-End -of- Capitulo-
(The Scene where 'Va is on her deathbed asking for forgiveness from 'Drea was beautiful. I didn't see such a big anvil for 'Va. This was completely unexpected but at least she died a noble death. As for Gonzalo, this must be the beginning of the anvils.)

Que Pobres tan Ricos #56, 25 Mar 2014. I am afraid, Emiliano, that you will only be able to have half-siblings... or is that a blessing?

Mini threats MA … plays the amazon girl script… he insists he only wants to get the proof she found against A-hole. MA gets it.. ‘you didn’t find anything, did you?’ Outside, A-hole points the gun at the house… the driver and Vilma keep trying to make him change his mind. Driver says his woman did the same to him, ‘peleselo!!’ (go for it, shoot him!)


At fonda kitchen, Lupe is cutting some poor small green pumpkins like she is killing bugs… Lupe swears to Carmelita that MA is two-faced. What did he do? He is playing with two women. One of them married. He said ‘I only care about being with you’ to her on phone. Carmelita can’t believe it. Lupe is mad at herself for having jumped into the wolf’s mouth. Carmelita says what if you are wrong and you are making the wrong conclusions? Maybe this all has an explanation and you will save your liver some pain if you listen to him. Lupe insists that MA is two-faced, he is meeting the woman at a field house (casa de campo). Noone will play with me again. Carmelita insists until you ask him and find out the whole story you are hurting yourself.

Lo que la vida me robó, ep. 95, Tues. 3/25/14: Take a Letter, María


Have you ever heard of Saluggi?  It was a game that kids used to play in the Bronx in the 1950's, often during recess in the schoolyard.  It went like this:  somebody would snatch away a hat or a glove or even a jacket from another kid and throw the object to someone else.  That person, in turn, would throw it to a third person and then a fourth or fifth or sixth.  Meanwhile, the owner of the purloined object would be jumping in the air, trying to recover what had been taken, usually without success.  The taunting would continue until the players got bored or the bell rang, and everyone had to line up for class. 

[Mr. Maven tells me they did the same thing in New England, but they called it Keep Away. And they didn't really think of it as a game -- it was just another way kids tortured each other.]

Tonight, my friends, the episode is one big game of Saluggi.  Joaquín Arechiga's suicide note is tossed from one player to the next while Pedro Medina scrambles to retrieve it.  [And just for the record:  if Pedro Medina had been a student in the charged, Darwinian atmosphere of P.S. 82 in those days, his huevos would have been revueltos long before his twentieth birthday.]

Wow. Whole lotta talkin' tonight. Are they editing this one, too? Seems pretty jumpy/choppy.

Refrito
Diego comes home drunk, and not with lovin' on his mind.
Natalia is at her desk when Grumps arrives and flips.

Lo Nuevo
Grumps is pithed that Natalia is now working at Caprico and tells her to get out. Diego arrives and defends her. Grumps can't believe Diego is defending the girl that offended him. Diego reminds him that she was offended first when Grumps offered her money. Diego is within his rights to hire her. Grumps wants a confab in his office.

Grumps can't believe that Diego is putting some little chit ahead of his own abuelo. Diego continues to defend Natalia and says she will continue to work there. If Grumps fires her, Diego will not only quit Caprico but sever ties with Grumps, too.

Natalia thanks Diego for defending her. She's going to do her best and not give him reason to complain.and they have a very professional conversation filled with Señors and Señoritas.  She heads out to get some files.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #78 US 3/24/14 Why Isn't This Guy Roadkill Yet?

I have good news and bad news: The good news is that I was able to watch this episode as broadcast tonight. We spent the afternoon changing our antenna which solved the problem with Uni, but gave us problems with other channels. The bad news is that I watched this episode as broadcast tonight. It was apparent that this was another sliced and diced episode and I won't be able to include what Uni cut out. Let's get to it!

Isabel asks Gabi how she's been feeling. Gabi says she's been having a bit of nausea but otherwise she's fine. They continue talking about pregnancy until Aranza comes in and asks, "What's this whore doing here?" Now if I had ever dared to call one of my parent's friends a whore my mother would have knocked me Through. A. Wall. I have never liked this girl and now I don't care what happens to her. Aranza deserves whatever she gets. What a nasty little snake.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó Lunes 3/24/14 #94



Chapter 94: Desperate Rituals

Prison Visiting Room: Lady Monserrat kissed her husband, telling him of her and his mother's anguish and their relief at at last being able to see him. One would know from their interaction that while he would be loath to admit such, the Lord Mayor would happily trade places with Lord Alejandro at that moment.

I'll be filling in for 5ft for the next three days so she can get a much needed break. 

Lupita brings snacks and mentions to Natalia that she saw Diego outside talking to the lawyer.

Eleazar and Jackie look through mugshots hoping to find The Shrimp. The Shrimp calls right on cue and asks Jackie out. He's got a surprise for her. She and Eleazar assume it's a trip.

Natalia confronts Diego and the lawyers. She's convinced his intentions are bad it's just some sadistic set up or trap. She wants to know how long he's going to keep pursuing and torturing her. She sends Diego and the lawyer away. Diego says it's the last time he's helping or getting near her and next time she'll have to come begging. She says that will never happen. Later she has to tell Abdul and Papá Juancho she got rid of the lawyer. They are going to keep that to themselves for a while.

Eleazar is eager to get The Shrimp and the whereabouts of Car-louse. He tells his team to double check communications and the back up team. Jackie hopes they get results. Otherwise, there's little hope of proving his friend is innocent.

Lo Que La Vida Mi Robo # 93-3/21/14: Hope Has Arrived And His Name Is Dimmy!

Ahoy Amiguis! The storm has come, and we on the Patio have hunkered down in place in our Bunker of Lost Hope, or have we? Seems there is a Disturbance in the Force, but it isn't Pedro Medina this time. This is a Force for Good and it has arrived! Oh, my, and what have we here? Our commenters are popping tall! Ms JudyB, Fatimia and SusanLynn are dancing! The Cap'n is mixing her "Dark and Stormies", Lila is cracking jokes, Demetrios is whooping it up, Carlos is toasting, Oxnard has joined them! Anita is waving from afar, AuntyAnne you are needed Hasta Pronto! Diana is speaking words of wisdom, Emarie and Neice have joined her, and Nanette is waiting for anvils and Veronica has joined us.  Jarifa and La Paloma have joined us on the Patio too! Why the merriment you ask, in this stormy little tale? Could the clouds be moving elsewhere? Have I got the skinny for you! Please enjoy this little earworm that is sure to have you up and dancing and smiling! Happy.

Let's begin shall we? I am leaving the old behind and beginning with the new.

Monse is talking to Nadia on the phone and she is sending Dimmy over there. Next, we see Nadia with Dimmy and they are perusing some paperwork. What has this to do with all the tea in China you ask? Well, Dimmy has a unique talent, do you remember what it is? Well, back when this TN started Dimmy used this talent for the forces of Evil, but now, he has turned the corner and is using this talent for good. What is it you ask? Forgery that's what! Remember he forged his Papa's signature on those deeds to the mansion? Well, Dimmy is looking at a signature of Peddy's (Pedro's) and forging it on a document to let Dimmy in to see Ale, that's what! This way the guards won't give Dimmy a hard time and he'll have access to Ale to tell him not to confess. He is to tell Ale that Peddy has got bupkiss on Ale.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #10- Fri 3/21

De que la descubrieron, la descubrieron

Carmen gets cuffed, which triggers a melee assault by the entire family.  Wow!  The kid playing Lupita is doing a fabulous job…red in the face and everything.  Eleazar doesn't help when he tells the kids their mom has "committed a crime."  Dude, yeah, you found drugs in her bag, but that doesn't automatically mean she had anything to do with it.  Diego shows up and sees Natalia, et al, arguing with the cops who were assigned to make sure they didn't bust their mom out.  Diego tries to help when he sees Natalia on the verge of getting cuffed, but she screams at him that he's bad news.  The Garcias take advantage of Diego providing this distraction and make a run for it, but the car they've packed Carmen into is already taking off.  Diego gets the precinct number and runs for his car.

Vicente makes an oily-sounding call to the bank to have them drop the charges against Irene.  Vicente and Irene get into yet another fight at the car and he ends up leaving her in the middle of the street.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #54 Mar 21, 2014... Leo gets a job... The romance continues... and A-hole's rage boils over, he makes threats against Mini and MA's life

Hi Folks.
I will have to appologize. My DVDR choked on me and deleted all the programmed series to record. I got home from my event in time to watch the last 40 mins so i could do that part of the recap. If anyone can summarize the first 40 mins, you can post it as a comment and I will add it in, or email it to me and I can add it in in the morning.




Leo has agreed to teach Diego, gets money in advance. Leo expects Diego to have at least minimum appreciation for art... Never interrupt the teacher.

Diego seems a bit uncomfortable... Leo says you need to observe the expressions of the human being... Mati is bored yawning.

Leo tells Diego you have to recognize your 'inclinations'(desires/expectations) ... Diego looks again confused... when he begins to try to voice his 'inclinations' Leo interrupts him..
When Leo 'finishes' the first class session, Diego feels like hugging him but then taps Leo on arm... Leo shows his first 'salary' as art teacher to Mati so proudly.  Mati says you brag so much and totally miss the important things in life.

A-hole calls Vilma, she has been investigating Tato. She tells him if your wife is cheating on you with this Tato, she must be blind.  This inflates A-hole's ego very well. She gets another call, she puts A-hole on hold, which he does not like one iota and lets her know.
The other call was the 'lab' to give her the report on who has been messing up with A-hole's laptop. A-hole summons her to get that report to him asap.

Isela and Mini are shopping for baby stuff. Isela is pointing to everything in the store, while Mini is shopping via phone for the hidden far away lovenest she will take MA to.
Isela tells Mini she will get the baby monitors, tells Mini wish she had a pair of those, so she would not have to watch Mini so closely.
The store clerk is losing patience with Isela, Isela says let me think! ... she even asks the store clerk to get her a giant kite that is hanging off the roof.

MA is looking for the polo stick around the room. Leo keeps whining about the room, would die if we don't make this prettier. Mati says it is pretty.  MA tells Leo since you are such an artist, why don't you take care of decor? Leo says will attempt to create a miracle.
Mati tells MA that his grandpa did see him play. MA did not know Aure ever watched him play. he is moved.

Vilma arrives at A-hole's and lets him know that yes, someone had been copying the files on his laptop. A-hole is very VERY anxious about the subject. Vilma says fortunately they did not access the encrypted files.
A-hole thinks Mini is trying to get more money from him. Perhaps to spend with her lover (or lovers). what if she is cheating on him again with her ex, MA.
A-hole reminds Vilma that when Mini was dating MA, she was cheating on him with A-hole. So she could be turning it around.
Ahole gets a gun, Vilma gets really nervous, says 'guys are loaded by the devil, put it down!'... this gun has the largest silencer i have ever seen! looks like a bazooka.
A-hole swears he will kill whoever Mini is cheating with, then when the baby is born he will kill Mini. HE swears he will find out the truth and will not allow Mini to mock him. Will kill them both.

MA calls Saul, wants to talk about the house papers again, no time to explain over phone, (MA again has the offensive attitude toward Saul)

Frida and AS very 'discreeeetely' arrive to the college financial offices to have AS sign for Frida's application for the scholarship.
AS asks the lady 'we have to be super discreete... and lets get this done quick. where do I sign? ' the woman says applying for a scholarship is no felony. AS says yes it is.

MA finds the polo stick and when he takes it to Emi's room he finds some of Leo's drawings...
Emi happy with the stick. MA takes the time to teach him some moves with the stick.
MA tells him maybe some day he will be a great player. they talk about a famous player.
Emi wishes that someday MA will play again and Emi can watch him.
MA is about to ask Emi about the drawings but changes his mind.

MA comes down and tells Lupe he has to go see Saul. They share sweet smiles. MA leaves. Carmelita tells Lupe she enjoys watching their vibe...
She tells Lupe don't know how long it will take for everyone else to catch up but the two of you look so cute together.
Lupe tells her she does not know what MA feels for her. Carmelita says beloney girl, anyone only needs to see your faces when you two look at each other.
What they need is to find a way to announce their romance officially.



Previews: Mini is obsessed, tells MA will take you where noone will find us. Lupe seems to get another jealousy rage talking to Carmelita... maybe another misunderstanding.

Mini gets her hands on MA... she is undressing, A-hole watches from outside... with gun at hand.

Weekend Discussion: Reality Check

Novela writers, we are talking to you!

While we are forever comparing telenovelas to fairy tales, they are set in real places with real names and are populated with characters who have careers and jobs that exist in the real world of today or yesteryear. Please get a little more real about their lives, their work, and their problems.

Your audience is not a bunch of ignorant peasants who know nothing of medicine, law enforcement, business, or money. When something happens to those things, we know there are consequences and you aren't giving the right ones.

A family whose finances are going down the drain doesn't keep a full staff of servants in the real world. They reduce their staff, sell the mansion, and buy something smaller. And in the 21st century they work.

There are no medical professionals who are psychiatrists, pediatricians, and cardiologists at the same time. Stop insulting our intelligence about this.

The same goes for the idea of identical twins coming in pairs of good and evil. That doesn't happen in the real world when they grow up together.  This was based on old superstitions that nobody believes in anymore.

Private investigators need sleep; they can't work 24/7 any more than anyone else. If following someone they need shifts of at least four people to avoid being caught. Nobody in that field would do otherwise.

When too much evil is happening from all directions, smart people don't just blame mala suerte; they look for a common factor.


My amigos will have more to add. Please read this and take it to heart.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #53- 3/20/14: The AS Explanation? Porca Miseria!

Hola Amiguis! There were some home truths this evening for some of these characters. Want to know more? Please read on.

We begin with the telephone convo of Saul and MA and his meeting with Ahole. Ahole knows that AS and Leo are in Mexico, but thinks that MA is in Italia. He has no clue that MA is in Mexico. Saul tells MA how AS and Leo lived like kings while they were gone at the luxury hotel they were staying in and Saul fills him on the bill, but we don't get to hear what is said. Mati comes by while MA is hanging up and remarks on the stunned look on his face, she hopes he didn't get bad news from his lawyer. MA tells her no worries.

Tizoc and Deigo are in the Fonda talking when Frida comes and it seems she is flirting with him a bit especially about how he had no problem picking up the mattress, but Tizoc had a hard time. Deigo looks like he's into Frida, and Perla stops by and doesn't like it so much. She pushes Frida out of the way and Tizoc has a scowl on his face.

Lo Que La Vida Me Robo 92 - 3/20/14 - Danse Macabre

 
Danse Macabre

Death Stalks the Arechiga’s

Joaquin has just finished writing a suicide note at Pedro Medina’s request. He sobs. But he hides the pen he used to write the note and takes it with him.

At the hospital, JL tells Angelica that he didn’t know that this situation was going to be this hard. She reminds him that when they got married the doctors did not give her much time and here she still is, without their ghastly treatments. JL wants Angelica to go ahead and have the treatments but Angie tells him that if he really loves her he will get her out of the hospital now. She wants to die at home in her bed in his arms. She refuses treatment. Jl gives the news to Amalia and admits he loves (amar) Angelica, mucho, muchisimo. Amalia hugs him, grateful, but very sad. Angelica wakes up and tells Amalia that she wants Jose Luis to take her to the prison to see her Dad. Amalia asks her why she would want to see him when he has treated her so badly but she reminds her Mom that Joaquin is her Dada and she loves him. Besides, he is speaking all kinds of lies and blaming Alejandro for things he didn’t do. She thinks if she speaks to her she can convince him to tell the truth.

Angie also drops the bomb on her Mom that she bought the strip club, La Escondida, and that she danced there in a private dance for her husband. Amalia is shocked but secretly amused. Angie tells Amalia that JL is now in love with her. Big L love. It is very different than before. She thinks he loves her as much as she loves him.

Houses of Living Death

In the prison yard in the hot sun, Alejandro looks very fetching in his khaki prison duds. Naturally they have been tailored to fit his manly form. He looks FABULOUS. Joaquin Arechiga, not so much.  As the prison guards escort Joaquin past Alejandro, even his paunch seems diminished. Alejandro can only think of one thing; did Arechiga change his mind about writing a letter that would clear Alejandro Almonte from charges of drug trafficking? Alejandro screams to Joaquin that he is innocent. Joaquin must write a letter that clears his name! Do not rob Alejandro of his life! Alejandro pounds the stone wall of the prison yard in frustration.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #9- Thurs 3/20

De que cayó en la trampa, cayó en la trampa

Ugh…The Shrimp starts moving around Natalia to get a look from all angles.  He puts his arm around her and says they should talk salary over lunch.  Natalia thanks him, but says she doesn't think she's right for the job.  Run, Natalia, run!

Tadeo thought bubbles that he had a child with Irene.  He calls her at the house, but Lala says she's resting.  She goes upstairs and tells Irene that Tad called.  Irene, playing with the rose quartz, says Lala did the right thing, telling him she wasn't available.

Natalia tells her mom Carlos' buddy was a perv, so she turned the job down.  She doesn't want her mom to make a fuss.  She's going to call her boss' friend with the Internet café.

I pinky swear, this is the last favor I'll ever ask you for... Lo que la vida me Robo 91 March. 19th.2014

Ah, friends in the patio, have a seat, make yourselves comfortable as I tell you a tale, a tale about a bad, bad man named Pedro Mendoza, his crimes are many, his testicles few and word on the street is that he has no heart, personally I think he suffers from chronic constipation-this would explain the way he talks, maybe this medical condition is the reason that he is a bad, bad boy. We will come back to Pedro soon, I promise.

However, first we will talk about Fabiola, a woman that has many problems,she hits the bottle hard, if you know what I mean, and she also has a terrible hair cut, frankly I'm more concerned about her bad hair than I am about her drinking problem, I mean, who needs a working liver when you look like that? Anyhoo, she has just bullied poor Amelia into telling her the truth: her parents adopted her and she realizes that that's why her uncle left her alone at a foreign boarding school, he did not love her because she did not have his blood running through her veins, little does she know that she is actually his daughter. Fabiola throws a fit, which prevents poor Amelia from running after Virginia, her often over looked and neglected daughter. This will have serious consequences, as poor Virginia runs into Adolfo, who takes her home, drugs her with the help of Maria and takes staged photos of her tied up in the living room, the photos will be sent to bad boy Pedro who will use them in order to blackmail her father.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/19/14 (#52): Up on the Roof

Frida, the sarcastically-dubbed Princess of the Proletariat, "debates" with JT, the self-proclaimed naco, in front of his friends. This "debate" would be best described as inane class-baiting. Sex would probably be more fun, but I guess they're not there yet.

Lupe tells Carmelita about the roof incident (which was, in fact, not a fever-induced hallucination after all, even though I would have put money on it yesterday). Why does Carmelita make that hourglass-shape in the air when she talks about Miguel Angel? That shape is usually associated with women. Whatever. Lupe says MA floats her boat like no one else ever has.

Nepo shows up with a very large bouquet of roses (suspiciously similar to the one Beto was supposed to get rid of last week at the country club) to apologize to Lupe. Lupe is really frustrated with him for acting as though nothing happened. "I know how women are," he says. They're always changing their minds. He's patient. He'll wait. This will all blow over in a few weeks.

Nepo keeps saying, "I don't want to pressure you." I wonder what he thinks "pressure" means?

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #8- Wed 3/19

De que hay revelaciones, hay revelaciones

Diana succeeds in passing off the Sexter as her "favorite" cousin.  For now.  Alonso covers up the reason for their visit, saying he needs a "fiador" (guarantor, cosigner) for his new place.

Carlos takes Carmen out to the middle of nowhere in the truck and tries to get fresh with her in the bed of the truck.  When she won't give up the goods, he proposes.  He brought a ring and everything.

Alonso and Alberto spout a bunch nonsense at each other about not noticing the Sexter was gay.  Right.  Cause you can tell just by looking.

Grumpy Grandpa shows Diego the photos and tells him he paid the bribe to prove to him how much trouble his aunt is.  They repeat the previous day's argument.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #75- 48 Hours and Its Not a Comedy- March 19, 2014

Let's discuss tonight's episode-
  • Javier reminds Sucia that her marriage is a farce and she belongs to him. Ewwwww!
  • Este asks Methulusah and Gonzo for help in raising the ransom for his brother.  Meth and Gonzo play stupid and lend him nothing.  Gonzo tries to scam Este saying that he knows where Meth keeps money, he will get the money and Este can pay it back in a month.  Este isn't buying it.
  • Isa confronts Daphne about going away with some friends.  Daphne comes up with a cockamamie tale as to why she rented the house and asks Isa why is she speaking to her in that tone.  Daphne tries to blame Isa for lying in first place saying since Isa doesn't accept Este being with her, therefore she wouldn't accept Angel.  Isa tells her that Este doesn't love her the way that she does and if she goes to the next level she will be hurt.  Daphne plays Isa in front of Art and lies like a rug and Art buys it.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #73- Taken a la Novela Style - March 18, 2014


Recap by Corazon Salvaje
-FeVer and Gabs are in a restaurant triggering my gag reflex. She apologizes for being rotten before and says she likes his 5 o'clock shadow. He asks gray hairs and all? She say yes to the gray hairs and all! (Aside from tossing my cookies, I have no idea how to react to that. I just hope there is no coitus between the 2. Thank God Gabs is prego and is moral enough to not have sexy time while so.) FeVer asks if they should order one dessert for 2 and Gabs just worries about the portion size. She just lets him order and he butters her up some more to the point where he kisses her on the head. (You know, Gabs was the firts one in this novela to dislike FeVer and here she is drooling over his gray facial hair and compliments. If this whole scene isn't desecration of a character, I have no idea what it.)
-Tita is scolding Bronce Mari for coming home late and tells her that she could have been notified at least! BM apologizes but Tita is still firm; Tita reminds her she still lives under Tita's roof and BM doesn't self-command herself. Don't let it happen again, you understand?
-Borlas and DannyBoy (who isn't wearing a button-down that reveals his hairy chest) are eating and talking. Borlas lets him know he told Bronce Mari everything and she forgave him. That's good. They begin discussing school and DannyBoy is going to look for application to community college(s). Borlas felicitates him and DB is off to sleep.

Lo que la vida me robó #90, 3/18/14: Mothers and Daughters -- A Cosmic Crapshoot

In this fairytale of ours, Angélica wished for three things:

-- A chance to cut loose and be a little naughty.  
-- Real passion -- she wanted José Luis to love her in every sense of the word. 
-- To die on her on terms, far from desperate eleventh hour interventions.

The first two wishes come true tonight.  As for the third... 

No thanks, I'm just looking.
Pedro Medina watches as his favorite program comes to a stirring climax.  He sucks contentedly on his pipe.

Que Pobres Tan Ricos Tues 3.18, #52 ... Who needs chicken broth when you can have kisses, hugs and fireworks as treatment for high fever

Nepo/Diego… Diego about to get sick from his dad’s ‘breath aroma’. Again Diego leaves him alone and he listens to ‘que voy a hacer’… and keeps on drinking tequila.


That same night, at the fonda…

MA and Chuy admiring the finished work. MA thanks Chuy for the help. ‘acerquese a mi calor’ CHuy invites a hug. We have never got along that much but I know you are a good man. That is why I feel like giving you one good advice. All that bad vibe you have around you would end if you were willing to find a good woman to share your life with… the bad, the good, the hard and the mature (las malas, las buenas, las duras y las maduras)… when you fall in love you are willing to share in the good and the bad. In my good days the girls would follow me around everywhere. I did my best to fill the gigolo role. But one day my Marcelita came along. She changed my life… After that I did not want to take a step without her. I loved her lots until God decided to take her with him. And I love her still. MA asks Chuy how did you know she was the one? The heart will remind you every day. And her face will be in your head all day. You will feel happy when you are with her. And then you will realize you are helplessly in love. Chuy says good night… enjoy the cold… MA thanks him again… I don’t get it when you talk your slang… something about Guadalupe’s belly button… ah!

Morning, MA is fixing coffee in kitchen. Lupe comes down, she I surprised he got up so early. He says he did not go to sleep. MA asks her if she spent the night thinking of her fiancée. Lupe gives him the news she is not dating Nepo anymore. MA surprised, nada de nada de nada? (MA gestures/shrieks happily) MA asks her if she wants some coffee with a technique of chocolate? Lupe ends up accepting … then MA burns himself. Lupe puts egg on his hand and he asks why. MA says he would not mind if someone beat him up in the ring but he would do anything to hear her laugh. These two get along so well… I love it!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #7- Tue 3/18

De que sabe encubrir sus maldades, los sabe encubrir!

Grumpy Grandpa hands over what he says is a sizeable check, but Natalia tears it up and tells him he and his creepy grandson can both stuff it!  Brigitte thinks that was a stupid move, but then, she's Brigitte.

Carlos steals Carmen from the fonda with her sons'  blessing.  He shows her the house he's thinking of buying, to get her approval.  Carmen loves the house (that staircase looks familiar…what house is this?  The one from Al Diablo Con Los Guapos?  The kitchen looks familiar, too.) but thinks it's too big for one person.  Carlos, of course, intends the house to be for ALL of them.

Back at the office, Karina is having a hard time with things like the difference between sales reports and purchase reports.  Yeah.  That's a stumper.  Grumpy Grandpa tells Diego about his visit, which he of course justifies because Diego is an immature idiot who needs someone to clean up his messes.  The immature idiot storms out of the office after giving Karina some lip about it.

Por Siempre Ni Amor #72 US 3/17/2014 Chihuahua Fight!!!

Happy Tuesday! I thought this was pretty funny:



I post this recap with a caveat: For some reason my TV is having problems picking up Univision. It started last Thursday, but cleared up over the weekend. We don't have cable or a dish; every channel we get is over-the-airwaves. Well Monday night it happened again. No signal. None. Totally black screen. Sooo - I have no idea what was broadcast Monday night, whether it was a single episode or a cut and paste double episode. This recap is a single online episode (#96 in Mexico) so it may contain scenes that were cut and may not contain scenes from the second episode if it was a double. I didn't catch all the dialogue so please fill in what I missed in the comments. Some scenes have been combined.

What I assume is Leftovers:
Aranza yells at Art and Isa that she's not a child - even though she acts like one. It's her life and if they don't like it well that's their problem, too bad. She storms out. Art tries to follow but Isa stops him. (Me: Art don't waste any more of your time. Kick her out and cut her off until she grows up and can be civil. You're always talking "consequences", well let her enjoy some. A few days on the street would do this beotch a world of good.)

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #6- Mon 3/17

De que está pintada de oro, está pintada de oro

I've been at rehearsal all night and I have a production meeting in the morning, so I probably won't have a chance to watch the episode until tomorrow afternoon.  In the meantime, discuss amongst yourselves!

*Update: got through most of the show....
*Update: the recap is complete.

Padre Juancho's boardroom visit leads to absolutely nothing, with more vague talk about "what you did" and "it wasn't so bad" and nobody talking specifics.  Grumpy Grandpa gives Diego a stern talking-to about keeping his nose clean.  Diana shows up asking QTH is going on, Diego evades some more, and Karina claims someone else must have ratted him out.

Diana and Diego's lunch is interrupted by a booty text.  The sexting fiend is an actor with bills he can't pay.  Good thing he's got a sugar mama.  As he whines about not booking a commercial and drools over a previous ad of his on TV, I make a mental not to not ever be "that guy."

Qué Pobres, Lunes 3/17/14 (#50): Shamrocks as Far as the Eye Can See

Green things in this episode: Envy; a greengrocer; nausea; limes
Green things NOT in this episode: Money; luck of the Irish; any luck at all

MA continues working on the masonry. He's so proud of his work, he thinks when this is done he can maybe help the Menchacas with repairs around the house!

Isela says some nonsense about doing sudoku puzzles to keep the Germans away... oh what's that guy's name... no, not Hitler... oh, right, Alzheimer's! OMG I wish Mini would hit her in the head.

In the kitchen, Carmelita lectures Lupe about her fear of love... that's why Lupe's with Nepo; that's not scary at all, because she's not in love with him.

Next: A serenade from Nepo. In bright sunlight, on the street, presumably with a hangover. Wow - if that Plantain King gig doesn't work out for him, maybe he could do this full-time. Nepo ends his serenade with a marriage proposal for Lupita. There are only three onlookers who don't look thrilled: MA (from the balcony), Emiliano, and Lupita. Lupita tells Nepo they should discuss this in private.

Que Pobres tan Ricos #49, 14 March 2014...Some folks are truthful about their feelings or lack of them when they are wasted in alcohol

Chuy, Lupita, Frida and Gwendy are all standing around the cement pile… Mati keeps helping opening the water faucet. MA comes out, asks how is it going? Chuy leaves. AS I thought, one of the times they asked Mati to open the water, Frida lost control of the hose and everyone is getting a shower.


Downstairs, it is wedding day!! Every white balloon in MC was bought and filled for this place. The wife is very pregnant. JT and Frida are commenting on this btw. JT says they kill two birds with one stone: wedding and baby christening. She tries to rant at him but he says you laughed at the joke too…

CK goes to Carmelita. He wants to toast with her for the couple. Chuy comes in to stand between them. CK looks much better showered and clean shaven. Chuy says go be the host of your guests. Chuy drags CK away, Carmelita giggles because she realizes Chuy is jealous about her.

Time for the first dance for the couple, again, cumbia. Oh boy, the couple on top of the cake are taller than the cake itself!! Nepo comes and congratulates CK on the party. Then he spots Lupita and wants to talk to her. She is too busy. You still angry at me, right? You are killing me with the stare. Lupita confirms she is. Carmelita is happy dancing around. Gwendy comes to Nepo. Are you still mad at me? He is… Gwendy says when you get over your anger, let me know. Nepo looks at the liquor, seems fairly good per his facial expression.

Lo que la vida me robo #88 3/14/14: Something something ...

Lo que la vida me robo—3-14-14

Recap later, discuss amongst yourselves in the meantime! 

Hello everyone, UPDATE SUNDAY NIGHT: 
This has been an unusual weekend! I'm spending it in the hospital, hanging out with a family member (who will be okay). I've been watching robo on hulu with my phone & iPad. I'm going to try to write some sort of summary, but it's a bit dodgy on a phone, as I can't seem to get my browser on the ipad to work!



got some screen caps to work! Squee!



RECAP, briefly, from my iPad. events not always listed in order, please forgive, it's hard to edit on an ipad!

JL catches Ale burning the drug money at the beach. But rather than busting him, the have a heart to heart over a beach campfire. JL tells Ale that Monserrat hates him (JL) right now, and perhaps that's for the best. Monserrat thinks JL betrayed Ale, but that's not JL's style. JL talks about what a blessing Angel is, how much he cares for her (quiero, not amo) and he'll be empty when she dies. Ale is reassured that Monserrat never cheated on him with JL, but JL says, when Angel dies, he'll keep trying to get Monserrat back, that's just how he is. But... It's better that Monserrat hate JL for now... during this exchange Scheming Prima is watching them with great interest...

Bitch Maria fill scheming prima of Ale in on all of Ale's history. Scheming prima flatters Bitch Maria, telling her she's prettier than Monserrat, and so forth.

JL interrogates sleazy drug dealer who rats out Angel's dad (I think?). He feels very betrayed, and that's why he's ratting him out. he doesnn't know the identity of Joaquin's socio (business partner).

Ezequiel tells Medina that they haven't got enough evidence to pin anything on Ale. Medina tells him that he's got a powerful friend, he's pulled some strings, and they can get Ale now. Make haste!

Macario is warning Ale about JL, he thinks maybe JL conspired against Ale; I am missing something here. Ale doesn't think JL is conspiring against him. But I think Ale's a little worried. He asks Monse where she went to (or something) and is reassured by her answer. She is all loving concern about him.

Dim is joining the navy, and is sincere. Capt. Robledo knows Dim's dad would be so proud. Robledo has Refugio be in charge of Dim. Refugio acts very agreeable in front of Robledo, but as soon as they're alone, he unleashes his outrage on Dim, who says, hey look, I understand that no one believes me, but give me time to prove myself. Refugio later goes to JL to update him on the latest with Dim.

Hot Lawyer (co conspirator of Scheming Prima) is family friend of Josefina. They have a visit and she tells him how Dim is turning out okay. He was a gold-digger at first, but now that's all changed. Hot Lawyer is sure that Dim is a good guy. He smiles... Graciela comes in, all cool and aloof, and Sandro (Hot Lawyer) is all thrilled to see her.

Monse is reassuring Ale of her concern and love when in comes Ezekiel, ready to arrest him! Uh oh!

Sandro aka Hot Lawyer, has coffee with Fina and Graciela. He tells Graciela how his client is the niece of Benjamin, daughter of Ben's sister. Imposible, exclaims Gracie, the sister was sterile, couldn't have kids!

Both Ale's mom and wife wail in despair at Ale being taken away, but he kisses them both for goodbye and goes with the police.

Sandro is talking about his 'client' and the whole process of figuring out if she's an heir of Benjamin's, will Ale fight this? Monse says no. Graciela is all intent on this topic because she's obviously not happy to think Ale will be sharing his inheritance.

Drug dealer is visited by Medina, who offers him a deal: confess and I'll make sure you have to only serve a few years. Dealer says no thanks. the next scene has Angel's dad (whose name again escapes me) being furtively handed a switchblade by a guard, I think the blade is from Medina. No sooner has he pocketed the knife than Drug dealer spots him in the prison yard, comes over to accuse and argue with him for being a traitor. Angel's dad has his buddies pin down Drug Dealer, as he explains something (?) and then stabs him. Goodbye Drug Dealer.

The last scene is of Ale being checked into jail, the humiliation of having to state to the crime he's been accused of to the admitting guard, having his photo taken, and so forth. Ale gets to his cell and who is in a nearby cell but his old buddy, Amgel's dad! Angel's dad looks all teary-eyed as Ale gives him a venomous stinkeye.

END OF EPISODE!!! Didn't see the avances, but am sure they are MUST SEE TV!!!

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #5- Fri 3/14

De que está confundido, está confundido!

Diana and her honey enjoy some post-coital champagne.  She really needs to cut it out with all that "I love Diego" business.  You keep on using that word, Diana…I do not think it means what you think it means!

Abdul heard from Paolo that Diego showed up at the house and he's pissed.  He wants to go confront him, but Carmen tells him to stay out of trouble.  She makes him Vulcan-promise.

Diego was suspicious about not being able to get in touch with Diana.  She's doing a terrible job of lying, but it appears his suspicion was a ploy.  He tells her about hiring Karina and she whines about what an exhausting day she's had.  Diego's trying to chill out with some poetry, but he can't stop thinking about Natalia screaming at him earlier and he's incredibly confused about it.

Por Siempre Mi Amor #71 3/14/14- Shut up, Ara.

Scenes are combined and condensed.
Part 1
Dafne tells Art and Isa that Ara is a hipócrita and that she wants Este AND Javier. Ara denies this and says she's not interested in Este. Dafne says Ara broke the rules first. She begs Art to let her explain and drags him away.

We are "treated" to a nano-snippet of Bruno and Ally. How is Bruno not ready? When they first met he wanted to have kids. dAlly has always wanted to be a mom and now they have this opportunity. Aaaand cut to Art and Dafne mid-sentence. Thanks for the crappy edit, Univision.


Then we get 10 minutes of "she said, she said"


Dafne and Art:  Dafne just wanted to spend some time alone with Este since it's so uncomfortable with Ara and Javier always around. She swears she had no intention of any hanky panky. Ara is a beach and has been treating me like trash. She's wants to humiliate me.  She bad mouths Ara and thinks Ara has forgotten everything Art taught her. Art is the best dad. She gloms all over Art. The sound of her voice makes me want to do violent things. 


Isa and Ara: Dafne wants to sleep with Este and she's really pushing him. Isa wants to know why Ara is so worried about it? Ara says Este isn't in love with Dafne. Isa presses again "Why does is affect you so much?" Ara swears she's not in love with Este. Isa encourages her to forgive and forget and not throw away her friendship with Dafne. Art and Isa forgave all of Ara's bad behavior, didn't they?

Joaquin Arechiga Had A Job

Amalia Arechiga and her children, Angelica and Virginia, have never known just what Papa Joaquin did to make a living. He kept the family in fine style and, well, such questions can make for very awkward conversations. Really. Only Amalia’s Tia Prudencia seemed to have a handle on just how Joaquin made his money.

Mayor Pedro Medina and Joaquin are alone in the visiting room in the Aguazul jail. Pedro tells Joaquin that he is nothing more than collateral damage in Pedro’s grand scheme. Pedro threatens, once again, to make Joaquin’s daughter’s suffer if Joaquin does not make the telephone call. Joaquin takes Pedro’s cell phone makes a call.
“Is everything ready? I am away from Mexico but my associate, Alejandro Almonte, is ready to meet you. I’ll text you the address.”

The call is part of Pedro’s plan to set up Alejandro Almonte, to create the perception that he is an honest and truly, cross-my-heart-and-I-hope-to-die narcotraficante.

Joaquin makes the call and then bitterly turns to Pedro and says, “I have never mentioned your name to This Guy. I am not like you, Pedro. I have not betrayed you.”

Que Pobres Tan Ricos #48- 3/13/14- Night and Day



 

Hola Amiguis! The obsessed keep being obsessed, and MA really needs Ms Julia's, "Premier Design and Construction Company TM ". Want to know more, please read on to find out what the heck happened on this capitulo. Since I started the week with a nice Sinatra earworm, I leave you this week with another: Night and Day

Since MA helped Lupita with those wedding plans for CK (Chilly Killer's) godson, she will help him calculate how much it will cost for the supplies he needs to enlarge the Penthouse on the roof.

Oh, lookey here, who has dropped by the Fonda you ask? Sharky wanting his lana (money). He gets that from Lupe and offers MA a loan at 15% while Lupita is shaking her head at MA. So they go up to the Penthouse so MA can get something to sell to Sharkey for the money he needs for the Penthouse rehab. Some things are taken out, but there is that coat of AS', you know the one, 100% Chincilla! Sharkey tries it on, is luxurating in that fur and offers MA 4,000.00 Pesos for it. MA says it's worth at least 10,000.00 Pesos and not a penny less. They bargain back and forth and MA sells the Chincilla for 6,000.00 Pesos. Kaching! MA gets a reciept and the money in cash. Sharkey has tried on that fur again, as Lupita laughs and tells MA he now has enough for the materials.

De Que Te Quiero, Te Quiero #4- Thurs 3/13

De que ganaste el puesto, ganaste el puesto!

Natalia and her boss are reviewing the Help Wanted section together, trying to find something better suited to Natalia's new degree.  They find a secretarial position that just happens to need someone good with computers.  She calls and gets an interview the very next day.  Her boss gets to work making her a lucky new job vibes amulet.  She's clearly the nicest boss ever.

Diego's carjacker kindly requests his wallet.  At gunpoint.  He takes out the cash, then tosses the wallet itself out the window, where it's caught by Abdul.  Of all the stinking luck!  Two cops see this happen and think that means Abdul is the carjacker's accomplice and they haul him off to jail.  At the station, the guy taking Abdul's statement says he's heard the "I was just standing there and someone threw a wallet out of a car" story before.  He at least lets him make a couple of calls and get in touch with Padre Juancho.

Qué Pobres, Weds 3/12/14 (#47): Mike and Lupe Plan a Wedding

Beto looks as though he's going to collapse beneath the weight of all those roses. The snooty friends tell Ahole that Mini and Mom haven't been to the cloob all day. Enraged, Ahole tells Beto to throw the roses in the trash. No, Beto's not allowed to give them to his girlfriend - he must throw them out! He gets in a golf cart for a ride to the refuse area, but I bet those roses never quite make it into the trash...

At the market, Carmela and Guendy catch up on the Nepo/Lupita gossip, such as it is, and then Chilaquiler (Chila-Killer?) starts flirting with Carmela. He's reallllly looking forward to seeing her at his godson's wedding this weekend. Carmelita doesn't seem to hate the attention, but she's not comfortable with it either. She's even more uncomfortable with Guendy's enthusiasm, because in case you haven't noticed, Guendy is on a mission to get everybody in La Nopalera hooked up with someone! Chila-Killer is a very sloppy eater, too.

Speaking of slobs, JT is rubbing his armpits with his hands and sniffing them. (Didn't someone around here mention Mary Katherine Gallagher recently?) Frida claims to be horrified, but that doesn't explain why she continues to hang around and taunt him if he's truly as unbearably stinky as she claims. He puts his smelly hands on her face, and she just stands there complaining instead of running away to disinfect herself, so I still say it's love. Or at least pheromones, baby!

Lo Que La Vida Me Robó, #86, 3-12-2014, Pedro vicariously gets his groove on; Nadia and Montserrat fall into a trap to slander José-Luis


At least the pigeons always seem happy. 

Welcome Everyone!  It's another beautiful day in Agua Azul, but evil is a-brewing, as always.  Let's check in on some of our favorite residents, shall we?

Nadia and Pedro’s Mansion, Agua Azul:  
Nadia finds María hanging around in the living room and wants to know what she’s doing there, assuming that María is probably looking for Pedro and that they are up to no good.  Before María answers, Adolfo walks in and tells Nadia to cool it, and that, in fact, he asked María to come because she needs work and he thought maybe Pedro could help.  Nadia tells Adolfo smugly that this is a waste of time, noting that they don’t need another SERVANT in the house.  Adolfo defends María, telling Nadia not to humiliate her (María) since she (¡pobrecita!) is having a REALLY hard time right now.  Maria uses this as her opening to complain about how Ale got back together with Montse, and they threw María out like trash.  Nadia informs María that she brought it all upon herself.  


Latest recruits on Team Pedro stand their ground in the face of Nadia's snarkiness
