Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #71 Wed 12/2/15 (Mex 100) Fifi fights for her obsession with marrying Vitto
Ciao, Muchacha Peeps. Well, looks like I've gotten an episode interrupted by mayhem once again. My heart goes out to every family affected by this madness. About forty minutes of the episode was taken up by breaking news bulletins. Here is what I was able to gather. Please fill in the blanks if anyone is able to watch this tomorrow online:
Gael and Roxi have launched their plan to pose as lovers to fake the family out and take them off the trail of her and Benni. There is a scene where Osvaldo tells Sergio, Freddie and Sonia that Roxi and Gael are lovers and he apparently believes it. Sonia is shocked and thinks it's wrong because they are related. Freddie think it's no biggie because she's adopted.
Giana and Gael's little interlude in the garden is interrupted by Roxi and this is when the bulletin broke in. Later in the episode Gigi is bummed out about the fake romance between him and Roxi: she's afraid a real boink is in the future. Gael chills her out and warms her up at the same time with tender caresses and kisses.

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #50 Tuesday 12/1/15: Enter the Armpit
Luci and her mom arrive at the Santa Clara orphanage (where Alex' announcement will take place, after Alicia's quick switcheroo). They think Alicia is trying to be some sort of stuck-up Evita of the shirtless masses by having the thing there. Luci: "hmm, maybe i should get me one of those miserable orphans so I could become Saint Luciana!"
But before Luci can make her big entrance, Alicia trips on Mateo and they have a face-to-face. She explains the purpose of the rich people visiting (to get money out of them), he says all the orphans had been told to stay out of sight for the duration of the event, and she proposes that they both hide.
Whoah! Luciana is trying to wrangle the press, preening and suggesting they ask her about the wedding, but one reporter says there's a rumor that she's pregnant! Everyone gasps!

Yo No Creo EnLos Hombres #99 Tue 12/1/15 -- Life Catches Up To Claudio And Alma Stops Playing The Fool
[Briefly as possible, there are only a few highlights in this miserably overlong episodio. --ed.]
- Josefa the angry Jefa knows she is in trouble this time cuz she just bashed Isela's head on the terrazzo floor, and Ise is lying there totally unconscious and bleeding. She raced out to get help from the barrio version of Dumb and Dumber, screaming for a taxi. (I guess ambulances are a luxury.) Of course, Max and Leo, who've just come for Esperanza and Clara in hopes they'd stay a while at mom and pop's palace while the Honoria Horror Show of Hate dies down, helps out the Heffer. Ho-sey lies (natch) about how Ise ended up unconscious and bloody on her floor. "--duh-h, she just suddenly passed out and dropped and hit her head."
- Claudio, who found Alma in pain in the bathroom and nearly passed out from that, takes her to the hospital. She's quickly now becoming a pain herself, getting up and out of bed, schlepping her hanging bags and tubes all around, and thus sneaking up behind Clod in every whispered conversation, getting in the old hubby's face everywhere he turns. She, in this way, manages to overhear the phone call that Leo makes explaining they've found Ise bashed and bloody and wanting to know which hospital is best to bring her to. Clod naturally suggests the one he's at now, and then explains Mom's there taking up a bed also.

Pasión y Poder #20 Martes 12/1/15
Chapter
20: Thirty Pieces of Silver
Consuelo
came out of the bathroom with the pregnancy test stick in her hand.
She took a deep breath, hoping for a positive result. This was going
to be the longest thirty seconds of her day. Miguel burst in without
knocking and she dropped it, startled. Miguel apologized and picked
it up. He looked down and told her it was positive. She was
thrilled and he was happy for her. When he said so, though, he
looked away.
“Consuelo,
now that you know this do you want to keep investigating your
husband?”
“Yes.
Now more than ever. I want to know everything. Afterward I'll
figure out what to do with the information.”

Antes muerta que Lichita #49 Monday 11/30/15: Chanclas shows his true colors and Luciana prepares to hug an orphan
We learn more about Chanclas. He slipped up and let Ximena know: he knew Magos was pregnant before he left town. But, unforgivably, when Magos comes back in the room and Ximena tries to talk about it, he denies and implies Ximena is lying.
Later Roberto surprises Chanclas looking around in his office. Chanclas picked the wrong place to get caught because when it comes to lying bums, "it takes one to know one." Beto, immediately suspicious, later tells Gumaro about the incident and they agree: Gumaro will get his shady associates - "uh, ex-associates" - to look into the guy.

The Day Before
Gomez Luna Clan
Julia asks Eladio for a divorce. Julia tells him that she doesn't care if he resumes boinking Montseratt, as long as he keeps his mitts off of her.

She feared her father and now she fears her husband. You'll have to come at me better than that buddy! Eladio tells Julia that her attitude towards him determines how he treats David. Before he leaves the room, he asks her to think about it.

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #98 Lunes 11/30/15
Chapter
98: A War in Hell
A
newspaper vendor hawked the front page headlines, just like in an old
movie. Honoria stared at the vendor as Julian's coffin was carried
into the church by Orlando, Adrian, and two other guys from the
neighborhood. She paused at the entrance to the courtyard. Her face
was like stone. When the coffin was rested in front of Padre Juan,
Orlando stood beside Doris.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Celia, Bajo el Mismo Cielo, Señora Acero and Preciosa Perla: Week of November 30, 2015
As of this week, the Telemundo y Más page has some new folks in charge. This has already been graciously announced on the ¿Qué nos cuenta, Caray, Caray? page, so I'll just quote a bit from there: Since the end of El Clon, Jean and Novela Maven have devoted five fabulous years of work to maintaining a space for discussion of Telemundo's telenovelas (and those on other networks as well). This week, they are handing the reins over to LXV and Juanita to carry on the tradition. Muchísimas gracias to Jean and NovelaMaven for their invaluable work. They're a hard act to follow, but LXV and I will try our best.
So...here's this week's Telemundo y Más page, where discussion has been taking place about Celia, Bajo el Mismo Cielo, Señora Acero (now in últimas semanas), and Preciosa Perla (which apparently has just ended). Everyone is welcome--indeed, encouraged--to join the conversation. Since discussion of all these novelas takes place on this page, please remember to put the name of the novela you're discussing at the top of your post, so people can easily find commentary about the ones they're watching.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, #97 Friday 11/27/15 The Enemy List Grows
Max and MD exchange rings through the bars of the local jail. They don't need a church or a judge, they consider themselves married.
Orlando returns to Josefa with Doris in tow, to ream her out for destroying his shop. Josefa accuses him of kidnapping her. She said that if he withdraws his report on her involvement of the theft of his stuff from the shop, she will withdraw her report of him kidnapping her. But she’s still furious that he made her miss all the good stuff that happened while she was trapped in the shop. She stomps off and Doris holds Orlando back from following her.
Doris convinces him that he should let it go, they have the money from her Nanis to start a new shop, and after everything that has happened, she can’t withstand Orlando being in jail and having to deal with everything without him being there for support. Orlando feels very guilty for spending the time to take Josefa away because if they hadn’t done that, he would have been there in time to stop what happened and Julian would still be alive. They cry together over the loss of Orlando’s best friend, a very sweet loving scene.

Pasión y Poder Episode #18 Friday, November 27th 2015 Who needs matching bath robes when you can have personalized toilet paper
On this Black Friday, I'm not looking for good deals on Smart TV's, iPad's, or a PS4. No sirree, I'm looking for a great deal on personalized toilet paper. It's on my Christmas wish list. *This recapper runs to Walmart and fights the crowd to get the best deal*
Shall we begin...
Julia and Artie's lips are at close range. They are about to smooch like they haven't smooched in a loooong time, when Gabriela walks into the room (without the knocking on the door!) and interrupts them. At that moment when Gabriela walks into the room Julia jumps back, startled. Gabriela apologizes for her lack of manners and tells her aunt that Franky (Franco) is on his way over there. Gabriela leaves. Julia tells Artie that it would best if he skedaddles out of there, but Artie wants to know what she wanted to ask him, and she tells him that she'll tell him another day. Artie leaves and Julia is left alone to absorb what has just occurred.
Erick, the sleazeball, acts nice with Consuelo. He sniffs Consuelo's perfume, and tells her, that he loves the smell. He makes her believe that he's interested in fixing their relationship and even suggests taking couples therapy. At first, Consuelo doesn't know how she should behave around him or even if she should believe in him, but at the mention of couples therapy, she melts and is touched that he'd be willing to go along with the couples therapy, for her. When she leaves the room, the sleazeball shows his true face, and texts The Ratt, telling her that he's about to go and see something about a business deal that will leave him with enough dough to have her as queen.
Franky walks into his madrina's office and tells her that his padrino sent him over there to see if she needed anything. Julia isn't amused AT ALL that Eladio has already started to spy on her. She dismisses Franky, rather rudely, but rightfully so. Franky leaves. Now alone with Gabriela, Julia thanks her niece for alerting her of Franky's visit. Gabriela asks her aunt if Artie will have the DNA test done. Julia explains that she didn't even get a chance to ask him to get it done, because the two started talking, and he admitted that he still felt something for her. And by having Artie so close, she realized that she has never stopped loving him. She admits that she should have never seen Artie, because now that love, has been reborn with a much stronger force.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #68 Fri 11/27/15 (Mex 97) Italian Stallion 2.0 to the Rescue?
Ciao, Muchacha Peeps! Here's your Friday night and weekend offering. Some scenes have been combined, hopefully for better flow and clarity.
Fiorella offers to go with Pedro and Sergio to the columbarium where lie the remains of Pilar, Pedro's Mother and Sergio's Wife. Fidel helps the still disoriented Sergio and all three exit the foyer, Freddie has listened and spied on them.
Helloisa fires Benito after reminding him how he has violated the cardinal rule of class separation and forgetting his place in the Angeles household. Roxi rushes out and throws herself between Benni and Helloisa and begs for clemency. It's all her fault!
At the columbarium Fiorella tells Pedro that thinking of his Mother makes her think of Tania and that it must be hard for him to know they had the same problem. Pedro says Tania had the problem when he met her and he had hoped he could save her from herself but it was foolish because he couldn't even save his own Mother. Fiorella steers the conversation to something more positive. She thinks Pedro's Mother would want him to be happy. She tries unsuccessfully to get him to promise that he will be happy for both of them. Sher thinks he can be happy with Aitana. He suggests she go back to the car, he wants to spend time with Sergio who is weeping piteously.
Assvaldo confronts Gael who is on his way out to meet Gianna. Assvaldo's tone is bullying and arrogant as usual. Gale lies that he's going to an appointment with Alina. Ass boy insists on going with him.

Antes muerta que Lichita #48 Friday 11/27/15 Engagement party and Alicia tries to pull a 'i can do it all alone!' sprint... very successful with the Mi Can customers... but can she hold the pace?
Braulio tells Lichita (let me share something in your inbox… (LOL!)) that Sandra ordered everyone in the office to boycott her… so she is on her own with ALL the campaign work. Lichita tells us that she then realized that the engagement with Alex did not do anything for her, that she had to EARN her title with her work.
At the café, Nacho and Elsa comment it was good to leave LIchita out of the mess of the coffee cart at the office. Meanwhile Ximena’s dad (can’t remember his nick) is trying to make a tower of donuts and cinnamon rolls for display… too much touching and too little work if you ask me… Nacho and Elsa are glad the coffee shop is starting up… but Elsa wonders who she can get to handle the cart at Iconika… Ximena’s dad offers his services… Nacho says heck no! but Ximena’s dad says it is Elsa’s final word and puts his arm around her… LOL!
Valeria and Luciana are talking to her dad on the web… Luciana assures Rafael that her fiancée is a great guy… Rafael is more interested in showing them his new painting, which looks like a mix of Luciana and Valeria… Luciana is like ‘ah….. well….. hu….. ‘ ‘cute!’ Luciana leaves. Rafael tells Valeria that he feels he deserves that for treating Luciana like he has…
Elias is trying to encourage Lichita… but reminds her she has a LOT of work to do… and asks ‘why are you trying to show this front of ‘I can do it all, you will see!’? Luciana asks if he will watch her or help out… he responds ‘I’ll watch!’ LOL!!
Rafael continues with Valeria, says he feels abandoned over there in Buenos Aires alone… Valeria tells him she does miss a bit of BA, but here she has a much more fulfilling life… so forget it if you are sitting and waiting for her to return. Rafael tells her ‘don’t you feel like you are sitting as permanent guests there? Don’t you feel bad about it? ‘ Valeria says no way with this caseron! (huge mansion) they are staying at… Rafael then gets a bit hopeful ‘you think they are beginning to forgive me?’
Roberto asks Luciana if she does not think their engagement was a bit rushed and they should call it off. Luciana says no way Jose!
Fatima tells LIchita about the guy with the cart was selling pirate merchandise… Fatima also tells Lichita that she had caught Magos doing it when Magos was the one handling the cart… Lichita and her conclude it was Magos doing (or at least the one that started) the pirate selling, not the guy that got fired. Lichita is about to shoot fire out her mouth she is so mad with Magos...

Antes Muerta que Lichita #47 Thursday 11/26/15: Nepotism, Lies & Backstabbing...Just Another Day in Iconika
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving yesterday and are enjoying those Black Friday deals today!
Lets get on to the show as the people of Iconika did not slow down with their shenanigans due to the holidays.
Alicia decides to tell half truths to her mother and does a bad job of convincing Elsa she is not marrying Alex for purely business reasons. To Alicia's credit she admits that she is not in love with Alex but he is basically like a best friend. Elsa tries to reason with Alicia that marriage is hard enough as it is. You need to find someone that you can see as your husband...etc. Alicia eventually cuts her mom off saying that she knows what she is doing. She made her decision and Elsa cannot talk her out of it. Elsa walks away with tears.
Luciana is having one of her wash, rinse, repeat scenes with Don Augusto about getting back at Alicia. She wants her humiliation to happen like yesterday and for Beto to go far in the company. Even Don Augusto is tired of her antics and puts her on a timer.
Today, Alicia starts her first day as the general creative director which comes with moving to a brand new office....Roberto now old office. He does not mind that he is moving as he will soon be spending less time at Iconika and more time at API helping Alex with his presidency. As usual they get into an argument about about the usual. Roberto wants to know how far she will go to get where she wants. They commence into a fighting match, like kids, about which person is more horrible.
Sandra calls a meeting with the creative directors, minus Alicia, to make it clear that Alicia she not be given special treatment even though she is the fiance of Alex. She basically wants them to make her job harder...not to help her...etc.
Fatima asks Alicia why she is not at the meeting when all the other creative directors are there. Alicia joins everyone just as Sandra ends the meeting. Alicia holds Sandra back to try to clear things with her. However, Sandra is not ready to let the chip on shoulder thaw. Sandra tries to put Alicia in her place foreshadowing that she has her work cut out for her. Alicia does not cower.

Pasión y Poder #17, November 26, 2015: Giving Thanks, or: Who's the real turkey around this table?
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I had a chance to ask some of our characters what they were most thankful for on this Día de Acción de Gracias. You can read their answers below in the recap.
Both Miguel and David suspect that there's something personal underlying their fathers' feud. And they both fear that the conflict will have terrible consequences.
Despite his misgivings, Miguel tells Arturo he will help him take down Eladio. But in the end, Arturo comes to his senses. Attacking Eladio like that would bring Arturo down to the level of his enemy. He begs Miguel to forgive him – what they need to do is figure out how to make their company grow. Miguel agrees. Arturo kisses his son's brow and gives him a real hug.
