Mi Corazon es Tuyo #35 León's secret is revealed, will there be Bodas Interruptus?
We begin where we left off yesterday, Diego is kissing Ana on the cheek with his back turned toward an open door as Fernando walks past and glances in. He pauses, thinks about what he’s seeing, it looks like it could be a kiss on the mouth, but realizes he has to move on, and moves on.
Ana finally pushes him away, happy? no he’d be more happy with (elbow jab, elbow jab) but she tells him he’s going to be late for his trip to... to Paris, he says, the city of love, and then on to Bombay. Now called Mumbai, get it right writers! He tells her he’s going to think about her the whole time he’s gone, then he’s gone. She thinks about that. Is she pleased about that? We can’t tell by her expression.
Jenny is recovering in the hospital and crying on Nico’s shoulder, not literally. She mourns the idea that she will never have a baby. Nico does his best to console her.
As Diego is leaving, he runs into Fer who is surprised he’s leaving, but he does seem to have a smile on his face. Diego tells him he’s going for 2 weeks and tells Bruno to take care of Anita. They leave together.

Weekend Discussion: What Are Novelas Teaching Viewers?
Some recent discussions are provoking this question. What are viewers learning from novelas and what are they meant to learn instead?
La Malquerida is treading into some dangerous territory regarding misogyny and incest, La Gata is perhaps more heavily into class-consciousness than any of the others, and Mi Corazon es Tuyo shows us a large family about to explode over a marriage contracted for the wrong reasons which will have a domino effect on everyone in the entire household. Since that series is popular in Mexico we can anticipate a long period during which a wicked stepmother will reign supreme over a previously controlling (but loving) father. Nothing new, but this will be the largest-scale example to date.
What effect do you think this has and what should be instead? Sound off, amigos.

La Maquerida #10, 9/5/14: Fake Courtships, Fantasy Lovers, and Really Real Marriages
Gloria has a busy weekend, so I am filling in for her today.
Read more »
El Refrito:
Luisa tells her Abuela Rosa that she’s going to school to
become a chef, and Cristina is paying for it, as long as Luisa gets good
grades. Granny blows a gasket, yells about the shame of asking la Patrona for a
handout, and forbids it!
Cris is feeling fine and frisky and tells bare-chested
Esteban that she wants to make love until dawn. He’s up for that, leans in for
a kiss, comes up for air, and sees step-daughter Acacia standing in front of
him instead of his wife!
Lo Nuevo:
After a few beats, and looking like he’s seen a ghost, Este
is seeing Cris again, but the mood has totally been killed. He begs off, saying
he’s tired. Cris takes him to the bed and gives his very tense back a massage.
Luisa explains to Granny that it’s not that she’s ashamed of
where she comes from, she just wants to improve herself. She has that right!
Granny agrees—but only if she works for it; not having people give it to her.
Luisa explains that she will work and pay Cris back once she starts her career.
Luisa wishes her parents hadn’t died, because she knows THEY would have
supported her. Grandma has heard enough. She slaps Luisa and stalks out of the
bedroom!
Luisa is a FAR better child than I am, because instead of
being ticked off, she finds Grandma in the kitchen, crying over her tea, and
apologizes for what she said. Grandma says she misses her daughter, who was
intelligent like Luisa and gave her lots of headaches, but also brought her
much joy. She explains that her fear is that Luisa is going to school for all
the wrong reasons—those reasons being Manuel “Manolo” Palacios, aka El Joven
Palacios. Luisa admits he is one of the reasons, but she’s mainly doing it for
herself. Grandma finally agrees to give Luisa her blessing, and the two hug it
out. Luisa begs her not to cry. Grandma says her tears are all she has left,
because she knows Luisa will eventually leave her (way to lay on the guilt
trip, Granny). Luisa assures her that even if she leaves, she will never stop
caring for her or loving her.
Acacia is visiting Alejandra in her new pad. They discuss
the Ulises-Manolo situation. Acacia feels torn because she loves Manolo, but
she’s IN LOVE with Ulises. Alejandra is sorry that Ulises turned out to be a
lying, violent bastard, like ALL men. Acacia doesn’t want to talk about it anymore,
so Ale asks about how things are going with her stepdad. Acacia happily reports
that things are going well. Ale is glad because she feels that Este is good peeps.
Acacia feels she needs to make the effort to get along with Este, because he’s
the perfect man for her mother…and an ideal father.

La Gata #5 - Friday 9/5/14 La Promesa
Parte 1
El Refrito
Read more »
El Refrito
- Los madres make plans for world domination
- El director will try to get El Silencioso's pardon.
- El Pablo loves La Gata.
Lo Nuevo
La Rita tells Jarocha that she found out La Gata can read and write. Jarocha does't see how that's a problem. Well Rita didn't take the kid in to act all finolis (hoity toity), she took her in so she could help. Jarocha gives Rita heck again for making Gata and Centavo go out and beg while she and Inesita live the life. Rita says Inesita was was born to study. That girls burns the midnight oil with her studying (hilariously rendered in Spanish as quemar las pestañas--to burn one's eyelashes.) Speaking of school, Inesita is home from said institution...before the dismissal apparently. Rita asks about her early arrival and Inesita explains she can't go back until Rita talks to the director. The teachers don't like her. They failed her in 5 subjects. They don't teach anything. (Yeah, we're purposely obtuse because we don't want anyone to learn and we live for parent conferences in which we are blamed for all the woes of the child.) Rita will go down to the school and give them a piece of her mind. Read more »

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #14: 9/4/14: Who Is Really In Charge At Ripoll?
Hola Amiguis! Who is really running Ripoll Chocolates you ask? I think I know, I have a Crack Pot Theory. Read on to find out. Here is a little earworm. Maneater
Shall we begin?
Lupe is teaching Marisol how to Tango. I loved that they used an old record. You can hear the scratches as it plays.
Alexa and Pato are discussing her money problems and the La Chica Ripoll revival. Alexa is of a mind not to do it, when her phone rings. She goes to the bathroom to answer and it's that darn Alan of course. He wants that money or he'll talk to Sofia. Alexa looks sick. We'll get back to her in a tic.
We left Sofia and Chava at the restaurant discussing his life. He tells her about how racing is his thing and he tells her about the day of the sabotage. He is so into it, he does the hand motions, like he is back to that day, in that smoking car. Sofia is transfixed. Chava tells her one day he will win the Cup for a race. Chava says their lives are so different, but filled with coindencidences.
Lucas is out with the bad dude watching in a car. A bidnez man has come to his car and the tire is flat. Lucas and that bad dude watch as the bidnez man, goes to the other side of the car and changes the tire. While he is doing that, Lucas opens the drivers side door, the guy doesn't see him and jacks his wallet and Lucas goes.
Armando is down with Mattias on the factory floor. Armando has one of those get ups on. Silviana see him and likes what she sees. She also likes his attitude.
Alexa is in the bathroom and is looking mighty ill. Silvana stops there and asks if she is okay. Alexa looks like she is having a panic attack. Alexa says she's fine. It seems that Alexa might be accepting Pato's offer. She goes looking for Armando.
Pato is in his office when Silvana turns up. He says he is a genious! This idea for the revival of La Chica Ripoll. Pato says he has the Ripoll family where he wants them. Does he remind you of anyone? How about Pinky and the Brain? Pato is Pinky and Silvana is the Brain. See you know how Keebler have those little elves. Well Ripoll is being taken over by Pinky and the Brain, jus' sayin'.

The Enemy Advances
Cap 34
Ana forces Diego to retrieve her confession letter. “—You owe me! You OWE me!” He races into Fernando’s bedroom and grabs the paper out of his brother’s hands. I don’t want you to read this! It’s a letter asking forgiveness. I apologize for that with Ana in the library.” But Ferd really wants to read the letter. Di stuffs it into his mouth and eats it. Problem solved.
Diego races back to Ana’s bedroom and tells her mission accomplished. He gave his brother some cock-n-bull story and no, he didn’t have a chance to read the letter because his innards are digesting it as they speak. He ATE the thing! They grouse about whose fault it was until she tries kicking him out of her room so she can get to bed. He tells her she should be grateful and eventually show him how grateful—a good-night kiss would do for starters. She slams the door on him and he is totally smitten. He giggles to himself. “How adorable!”

La Gata #4 - Thu 9/4 - La Poesía
Pablo has a hard time capturing the special sparkle in Esmeralda's eyes with his mere mortal drawing skills. He agrees to let her have the picture and they awkwardly get back to the planned reading lesson for the day. He even cardboard sleds with her. Such is the power of her sparkly eyes.
El Silencioso hangs out in his spacious single cell and daydreams about running around with Erika Buenfil and snuggling with a little baby. He vows revenge, for his family.
Esmeralda continues struggling to read Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" while I frown in Pablo's general direction. She's still having trouble with the actual words…wouldn't something less abstract be easier? I can't find the section she's reading…something about spring arriving and soft breath…anyone know what it is?

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS -- Reina de Corazones: week of September 1, 2014 - PAGE TWO
Hola Reinamaniacs, the Crockpot Theories™ are bubbling away with more than 140 comments for the first three capitulos of this week. So here is your page two. In response to Novelera's question on Page One, here is an updated list of Navier's perils to date. Enjoy the rest of this week!
The Perils of the Dragon or, It's Hard being Navier
shot twice in back on Victor's orders;
beaten by guards in prison;
knocked out when Reina was kidnapped;
shot in leg rescuing Reina w/fever complications;
shot (graze only) while in shower with Reina;
forcibly sedated on orders of Esmeeth;
knocked out by Izzy and pinned by falling beam in fire;
shot in shoulder by Fico;
poisoned by coffee laced with heart-attack flu virus;
involved in roll-over car crash (no injuries); and
shot by Reina but was wearing a bullet-proof vest - no injury
thrown out of window onto van
So the grand total of times Navier has been shot so far anyway is 5 if you count the graze in the shower! And never a scar to be seen on his lovely bod.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo Recap #13
Sofia is missing her shoe and Chava has a uh oh. He is scurrying and helping her look for it. They go to buy another pair of shoes in the interim.
Alexa and Greta have a heart to heart; Greta isn't clothes-minded. She was young once! Alexa lets it out that she is 6 months behind on her rent. Greta subtly blows a gasket and Alexa then says that is exactly why she didn't want to tell her. Alex says she has a lot to tell and it will never end; Greta can't help her. Alexa doesn't wanna face Sofia and ask for help monetarily.
Chava and Sofia talk about the call she made to him the other day; it was accident. Chava is OK with that since he was filled with glee and he is glad he met her.
Silvie was called in by Pat and she sees he has left info pertaining to the DNA test he has in store against Sofi. Silvie thinks Pat is behaving strangely when he gets a call from the mansion.
Sofi is in such a rush she opened the door herself and as she scurries off, Chava compliments her new shoes; he know he must find the missing shoe.
Over the phone, Greta is making a deal with Pat pertaining to Alexa.
Silvie is remembering that Pat and a stranger went to Maestro's house and knows something is up.
Alexa and Greta discuss their woes and such some more.
Fausto and Dani are discussing the woe of the stolen dress.
Lucas is playing the guitar when Miguelina come in and she asks about the wonderful job he said he had; you said things would be different! Miguelina has a Dona Mati and talks about how she is close to dying and he needs to be independent.
Chava drives around looking for the shoe; lo and behold, he found it? No, it's a dirty shoe he gallantly throws in the recycling bin.
Pat comes to Silvie and they discuss Alexa as the Chica Ripoll. Silvie claims she grew.
As he brings things in for her, Greta is lecturing Armie on art and she said art critics are boring. IrkMe has called him BUT he ignores it (who wouldn't?) and goes to bring more things upstairs.
Chava has successfully found the shoe!
IrkMe is angrily lamenting that Armie doesn't answer her calls. As he brings more packages, the phone rings and Greta says if he doesn't anwer the phone, someone is going to suffer an anxiety attack! He ignores it and Greta throws her 2 cents in; she says IrkMe must be demanding or jealous.
Sofi and Chava are a hoot once more.
IrkMe is leaving a message; forgive me babe.
Armie and Greta talk about how he isn't a cheater; Greta says he is a stand-up guy and Alexa is gorgeous. She can see why his wife would be jealous.
Chava lets a little white lie about how he found it; he was pricked by the heel while finding it in the car LOL.
Alexa asks Armie to take her to the Ripollery and he is skeptical at first but is reassured and happ to oblige.
Dani gets a call from Lucas and then a text; Risitas Hablamos. Fausto comes in stating dinner is ready. Would you like to eat downstairs or up? 'Niela asks Fausto for advice for a friend who is really her. Fausto recommends her "friend" help the boy and not to get mad if things don't work out because she is really trying to help him. He will bring her food up so her HomeWork groove isn't interrupted.
Lucas at work with his mobster boss.
Chava awaits outside for Sofi who is in a restaurant; she calls Chava to tell him to come in with her.
IrkMe sees Armie driving by with Alexa in the car. He helps her out and the sentimental music kicks in while Alexa walks into the Ripollery.
Matty catches Silvie and lets her know one of the machines is having difficulties when he is preempted by Alexa. Matty hits on Alexa and then he lets Silvie know about the machine for real this time and she says leave a memo; he gets a hit off of her sardonicism.
Chava is inside with Sofi since a woman and her baby didn't come in (I'm guessing Sofi is looking for a new Chica Ripoll.) He is about to leave because of the subtle discomfort when she pulls him in and tells him to stay.
Matty finds Armie and thanks him for taking him home. That's what friends are for. He lets Armie about the machine and La Chica Ripoll.
Alexa is in Pat's evil lair and they wheel and deal. I don't have a good feeling about this.
Chava and Sofi politely get their grub on and he is overwhelmed by the abundance of utensils. Sofi advises him the least used ones are for the appetizer and the most used are for the entrée. Eat calmly. Chava asks if she would like to talk about anything and Sofi says she would like to hear about his life.
Lupe is looking for a CD and exclaims to Marisol she has found it! With that CD she can make kids, adults and something I didn't catch dance! She busts a move and in a silly way gets down with Marsiol (after shaking her head back and forth.)
Pat is laying it on thick that Alexa is grown and blossomed now. She says La Chica Ripoll isn't in her anymore and receives a call; it's Alan and he is being a jerk saying if he doesn't receive the money they need, he will tell Sofi everything!
(End of Capitulo)
Avances-
Sofi and Chava talk some more and he claims they're from 2 different worlds.
Armie saves Lexi from killing herself but she twists her ankle.
Lucas tries to steal from Sofi when Chava is right there and tells him to let it go.
IrkMe yells at Armie for bringing Alexa home and curing her ankle.

Mi Corazon Es Tuyo, # 33 03 Sep 2014 Diego gets the truth... Ximena gets a hug... IsaBruja gets a wedding gown and a nanny voo doo doll
Repeat of Fernando with his guilts, and Ana running after Diego; Diego angry as heck, but Ana convinces him to stay; Bruno’s rule ‘to live good, you better be quiet after seeing and listening… I am here for you, go ahead and let it go, open your heart’;
Fer: we have so much hidden anger, so many years, so many memories gathered since we were kids… and that which you know about, ended splitting us for good… of course I love my brother, it is not easy to admit that he has been away so long for my fault… you know Diego was always a free spirit, something neither my dad or I could understand.. (Bruno asks if they can accept him as he is now)
Diego tells Ana his story… since kids I was always compared to Fer… my dad was not like he is now.. he was strict, stubborn, very tough on me… Fer was always the boy scout, the one with perfect grades, my parents pride and joy… I was the rebel, the one that got suspended in school frequently, and when my mom died… my Don Nic Lasc found refuge in working… (Ana: and the story repeats itself, no?).. that is right… Fer took care of educating me and caring for me… but always scrutinizing me (senalandome).. I know he was doing it for my wellbeing, but I always felt belittled… until one day… I think the happiest day of my life… the most beautiful girl in the world… noticed me.. she noticed the imperfect one… she became my girlfriend… (where is she, Diego??) … she is in heaven, Ana… that woman…. Was Fanny, my brother’s wife… (no wonder you two had been separated for so long… and you said he took what you loved most?) Yes, and although relationships are for just two people… she chose him. My brother, Fernando, ended up the winner, as always. (Ana can’t believe Fer ‘took’ Diego’s girl).. Fanny was more than that, Ana.. She was the love of my life.
Fer continues his heart spill to Bruno…
Fer: I tried… I fought to rip that love from my heart… you know how much… but I couldn’t.
Dieg: I have never loved anyone like I loved her.
Bru: Estefania married you and gave you seven wonderful kids.
Fer: Yes, and… we destroyed Diego’s life.
Ana: Then Mrs Fanny…
Dieg: I made her a promise.
Lo Nuevo:
Ana thanks Diego for his honesty. He wants their relationship to begin with the truth. She has a double take… ‘our relationship?’ Diego insists that she should do the same and spill her soul to him. He would like to know what happened between her and Fer. She repeats, it was just a couple kiss and the typical story of the employee who falls for the boss… nothing really happened.
Nico arrives, and both Ana and Diego notice he is not well. He admits he needs them and tells them Jennifer broke up with him. He tells them Jennifer met another younger guy… Ana slips ‘that is not true’ but then backtracks her… The truth is Jennifer does care a whole lot about you. Diego agrees. Nico wonders what he will do without her.

Chava and his mother are discussing Paco’s bad
attitude. Chava defends Paco and says
that he may have reasons for his disposition that they are not aware of. Chava tells his mother that he wants to
settle down and be faithful to one woman.
They are interrupted when he gets a phone call from Ceci.
Sophia lies on the couch with her head in Patricks’s lap (I
am going to move past this sentence quickly cuz’ there are so many places that
a mind can wander with it). Patrick rubs her head. Anyways, Sophia speaks of the red Book of
Secrets that is kept in the company safe.
Each year, Maestro transferred all of his recipes to it and burned the
previous year’s book. Patrick says that
Ripoll owes the company’s success to that book. Immediately after Sophia drifts off into a drug
induced sleep, Patrick gets down to work by plucking some of her hair out by
the root and places it in a baggie. With
this hair, I will soon have evidence that your mother was a tramp, says
Patrick to himself.

La Gata #2 Tuesday 9/2/14: La Pista Falsa
Right to the new!
Mariano (Pablo's brother) is going to the movies and he tells (not asks) mom to give him money. She's loaded! Mom says she's not made of money. He wouldn't have to beg for money for taxis if his mom would let his dad get him a car. The house has a chofer. "Yeah", the little twerp says "but he's always busy with the blind one or my brother." (Dude, that's your sister!) Little girl does't put up with crap. She'd rather be blind than a bad person like him. Go, girl!! Mariano wheedles--don't be coda (cheap), mom! He's got promises to keep. He asked this girl to the movies ....mil pesos should be enough. Mom comments that he's too young for cars and dates. She knows the movies don't cost that much. He wants to get the girl some ice cream, too. Mom mutters about her kids, one is spendthrift, one is caritativa (charitable) the other thinks he's St. Francis of Assisi. Next thing she knows he'll be filling the house with the gentuza (riff raff.)
Pablo calls Esmeralda a deer (gamo) because she slides so fast, but he has to explain the word. She kind of takes offense. He asks what he did and why she's mad. She tells him about his mom and how she treated her. Esmeralda explains that mom threatened to kick her off the property by force. Pablo is a little incredulous, but he agrees his mom was probably rude. Esme thinks his mom is a vieja estirada (stuck up old broad.....from last night's vocabulary.) Esmeralda tells Pablo his mother acts like poor people don't have the right to walk on the same ground she walks on. Pablo thinks Esme shouldn't think poorly of his mom. She's not that bad. Apparently he's the one who's blind. He doesn't think it's fair that Esme is mad at him for what his mother did. He says something about Rita. Esme thinks that's different because Rita is not her real mother. Esme doesn't have a mom, but she'd rather be alone than have a mom like his.

Hasta el Fin Del Mundo #11 9/1/14 Lies, Spies and Treachery
Hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! The show is starting to heat up. Before we get started I have something just for Mads:
 |
I found Pato's cat. |
Let's get to it!
Lupe' cries over a photo of her and Javier the Dirtbag in happier days. Chava sees her tears and tells her to think of Javier as if he were dead.
"But he's not dead."
Chava realizes the truth, "So it's Javier that you've been seeing!"
Pato is on the phone with the DNA doctor. Peralta's right hand man, Renzi, comes into the restaurant. He listens in on the end of Pato's call.
"Yes, I can get samples. I'll bring them in tomorrow."
Pato ends the call and they bear hug. "Did you bring what I asked for?"
Renzi pulls a gadget from his inside pocket. "No door is closed to me."
Pato says it's time to go and heads out the door. Before Renzi leaves he picks up Pato's cup and finishes his coffee. I'm really surprised he didn't pocket the leftover pastries too. Just down the sidewalk Silvana watches them from behind a signboard. They get into a gray car. Silvana hails a cab and tells the driver to follow them.

La Malquerida, #6. 09/01/14.
Ulisses gets ready for his outing and Acacia drives up. He tries to kiss her hello but she pushes him away. She says she will never go anywhere with him now that she found out he wants to destroy the town park. I assure you that I will be the first to protest this. I don't know how much money you think you will gain, but realize that your project will never happen. Have you seen my plans asks Ulisses. No, and I'm not interested in anything that you have to say replies Acacia. I hate people who lie. Ulisses tells her to first take a look at his plans before throwing accusations.
Esteban gets onto Cris for allowing Acacia to see Ulisses.
Ulisses explains his green project to Acacia who quickly asks him to forgive her. She can't believe she caused all that drama and lost her chance with him. He comments on how beautiful she is when she's mad.

La Gata #1 - Mon 9/1 - La Introducción
We start out with some shots to establish the difference between our two protagonists and their worlds. Young Esmeralda drives her cart through La Barranca (The Canyon), then hangs out with some other kids, "sledding" down a hill on cardboard. Her shoelaces are pink, so you know she's spunky. Meanwhile, rich kid Pablo watches and wishes he could go hang out with the La Barranca kids. He's all dressed up in a suit with a plaid jacket and his room is decorated with soccer cutouts. His mom gives him a blessing before having the chauffeur drive him and possibly his brother to school. On the way, Pablo gets another look at Esmeralda, who's busy hauling around a black cat and fighting with a kid in the park for daring to call her "gatita" (little cat). Pablo is totally smitten with Esmeralda. It's probably the pink shoelaces. As his car drives off, Esmeralda has a conversation with the kid about wanting to catch a bird so it can sing. Her cat is named "Principe" (prince).
Her caregiver…and I mean that in only the most minimal sense…is Doña Rita, who's currently thrilled that some Italian guy finally let her read his cards, so she's scored some cash and a sammich. She has no intentions of sharing either. Not with La Gata and not with Centavito (little cent…I don't think we've met him yet). She says the pair of "vagonetas" (wagons) will need to bring in some cash in the afternoon so she and Inesita (no clue who that is yet) will have something to eat.
