Tres Veces Ana: Karmageddon Awaits!

It's time for Karmageddon to strike and this is probably the longest list of the deserving. So let's not waste any time. The same two questions:

  • What do you think the writers will do to them?
  • What do you think they deserve?

A Que No Me Dejas #9 Thursday 9/22/16 The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry (Full recap)

v *    Camillo over hears Gonz talking to Leo about Monica’s expense sheet

v * Monica gives a threat to Al, Tell Gonz he better be at my house tonight or else hell will open up!

v *    Nurizika virus goes to Adrian’s hotel room.  My sis is back with her ex, so lets have revenge sex! 

Nurizika tells Adrian that less than two seconds after he and Pau broke up she was back with her ex Camilo, so he should feel completely free to get his game on with her.  Adrian isn’t buying her lies or her cheap offer.  He has no interest in her.  Nurzika tells him that not only is it true but her parents are all about it.  They luurve Camilo!

Meanwhile the exes discuss the lie they are embroiled in.  Pau feels so bad that Camilo is having to continue the lie longer than what she had planned.  The situation with Mau has complicated things between her and Adrian and she will not be able to marry him just yet.  Camilo has no problem playing her boyfriend for as long as it takes.  A very grateful Pau has no idea how to thank her pal.

Tres Veces Ana #101

Sneaky will have a recap for us tomorrow, until then a place to discuss

Sneaky's recap below!


(Today on apologies w/sneaky two shoes (which seems to be a weekly show)  - I missed the first, almost to the first commercial break. I have no excuse, nor any good reason. I was just daydreaming and forgot to set my recorder and by the time I realized I was missing it it was 12-13 min past the hour. Sorry:(  What I did see though was chock full of irritating tropes )


Ram & Llora sweet talk/convo Abue has a surprise for them, Ram looks concerned over what it could be- Analu eavesdrops and learns afterward that not only does he have a novia they're getting married and Analu is invited to the wedding as "the guest of honor" (which she should find weird but doesn't say anything about)

Chana takes the opportunity to 'I told you so' to Ramiro about accepting that gun. He acknowledges she was right and will never doubt her again. She also reminds him he's the only one who can save the girl.

Tres Veces Ana # 100 - To tell or not to tell – that is the question…


Recent episodes featuring this tio-niece bond and dramatic interludes of doubting your identity have been putting me in the Shakespearean mood (not that our blue-eyed Tio could resemble anything close to a hunchback), so here we go….but not before this little plug for you, Patio friends: I will be out of town next week on a business trip and unlikely to have the opportunity to either watch the show or keep up with the patio comments. Would anyone (my fellow brilliant recappers, or someone new even perhaps wanting to give it a try?) be willing to volunteer to be a guest recapper for next Wednesday’s (9/28) episode? I would really appreciate it, so please let me know in the comments below and if need be, I can get a page up for that episode, where someone could post their notes/recap.


With that, here we go! Beware, my dears – some consolidation ahead. Brevity is the soul of wit, I have heard, though writers of some of the scenes below have not.

A Que No Me Dejas #8 - Place your bets now as the race for "Who Discovers Gonzalo's Affair First" Begins!

Hello Everyone! The chess pieces keep dancing around the board so let's get started….

Adrian is appalled that Paulina would even suggest breaking up. He says he understands Mauricio is a priority but he doesn’t want to break up. At that moment, Gonzalo arrives and Paulina cuts the call short.

Gonzalo gives money roses and a pearl necklace and a note that says he doesn’t like when they are mad at each other. Monica rejects the gives and Elisa is happy that she has taken a stance against the fact that Gonzalo doesn’t seem to care that much about his other children. She hopes Monica keeps at it.

Karen thinks Paulina jumped the gun at suggesting her and Adrian break up. Mauricio might be in a coma for a while but Karen doesn’t think it’s fair for anyone involved. (I suggest they just go get married in a day then Paulina come back and be with Mauricio but married).

Ines talks to Mauricio about what his life will be once he’s better. (This poor kid has been through the wringer. I hope his life does get better).

Adrian presents the project for the clients to Odette and she’s impressed. He tells her that their relationship is on stand still because of Mauricio and Odette already smells blood in the water. (My god, I can’t imagine people in real life plotting to ruin other people’s relationships but I’m sure it also happens.)

Poor Mau! A que no me dejas #7 09/21/2016

Bullet points cause I got busy!


  • Dude, they killed Edgar! The thugs he owed money to got tired of his excuses and gunned him down, poor Mauricio also receives a gun shot and ends up in a coma.
  • Julieta continues to be a crazy person and goes to Jaime's office where she demands to get Adrian's contact info, Jaime tells her Adrian will be in touch when he feels like it.
  • Julieta trashes Adrian's office, she does not believe that he is really gone because all his stuff is still there.
  • Jaime finds out that Julieta did not go to therapy, he threatens her and says he will move out if she does not get help. Ugh, just leave Jaime, just leave.

Tres Veces Ana #99 - Split Just Got Real!

Color Guide:
Reader Reaction in Blue
Rhethoric (en espanol) in Green
Avances in Red
Name Key in Purple


Finally, the appropriate hug he's been waiting for

Tio is filled with emotion at finding his niece. Soulless is also filled with emotion, albeit on the opposite spectrum. She wants to talk to AnaLu before she speaks to him, but AnaLu’s had enough of her. They go elsewhere, and he offers to talk over dinner. She’d rather not leave her mom alone just yet, so they decide to address things tomorrow. AnaLu admires her Tio's eyes (yea, we're with you on that honey). They both have light eyes (ojos claros), she now understands why she looks so different from her “mother”. He tells her that the last time he saw her she was about 4, and that her father passed away a long time ago. She wants to know why he abandoned her, did he think of her and love her? (¿por qué me dejó? ¿El pensaba en mí y me quería?), but TioM assures that her papa adored her. Maribel interrupts looking like she walked out of a Jane Fonda workout video, and says they need to talk. AnaLu can't be bothered with Bloody Mari, but TioM's gotta jet & will come back for her the following day. Mariblood waits for her in her room. TioM needs a hug & kiss but AnaLu is boundary-conscious (unlike a certain sobrina), and gives him a friendly embrace. Teardrops, yada yada. TioM turns to see Rem, tells her (voy a arreglar cuentas con su hijado) he's going to sort her godson out. (Viewerville gets tingly all over).

A Que No Me Dejas (AQNMD) #6. Monday September 19, 2016. This Episode Was Brought To You By Straitjackets R Us And Waiter-Outers Anonymous

Aggravated assault and attempted suicide did not get me locked up, so I am trying my luck again!

At a glance

-- Operation Silent Love is still underway, with two orbiters circuling around our Silent Lovers, waiting for the opportunity to swoop in once the relationship crashes and burns.
-- Julieta is still running amok... And not in a padded cell.

A closer look

Camilo jumps in to save Paulina from her family’s relentless interrogation. He pretends he was the biker who picked her up, as witnessed by runteldat Nuria. Paulina and Camilo announce that they are not rekindling their romance as of yet, but they are giving themselves the opportunity to get close to one another and see if they can revive the love that once united them. Camilo says he is sure of his feelings towards Paulina but he understands that she still loves Adrián and needs time to define her own feelings. Nuria says she doesn’t believe the pair. They are lying liars who lie and she will demonstrate it! Vitch, get a job!

Tres Veces Ana, #98, Monday Sept 19, 2016: Worst. Explainer. EVER.

I'm so sorry, I've only got half of this. I'm not feeling well and I didn't record this, so it'll be gone from my DVR's buffer in a few hours. Please forgive me, and feel free to fill in the rest in the comments. :-(

------------------------------

"So, what's up with this lie?" Ana Laura asks her lying sister. "Pitting people against me? Freeing yourself from your guilt?"

Ana LetMeDriveTheCarDaddy sits down slowly and dramatically, stalling for time while she cooks up a better lie. Oops, no, she's going a different way tonight: "Okay, you got me. I told Abuela that you caused the accident. And what else did she say to you? Nothing, right? She didn't throw it in your face. I bet she even apologized. Of course. She and everybody are different with you, because I'm not the cripple."

She goes on a little more with her jealous, venomous outburst, and then concludes: "Yes, the blame for the accident is on me. But what do you think? That I knew what I was doing? No, think about it. You were there."

Tres Veces Ana #97: Mariano Does A Double Take And Ana MiMi Plays A Double Fake

Parte 1~

The next morning Ana Lucia brings Remedios her morning coffee out onto the veranda.  “—This coffee has a purpose doesn’t it?”  Yep.  Ana Lucha wants Remedios to tell her all about Santiago’s wife.  At the same time, Ana Leticia is up in Rodrigo’s suite of rooms asking him about his and her abuela’s relationship.  She tells him she’s certain there was more there than a simple friendship, but that’s all she’s gonna get outta that sly old fox.  (Word up, Ana MiMi.  This dude didn’t make his millions by giving away the farm.)   If the guy’s sparse with his pesos, he’s twice that with conversation. It seems he’s got Ana MiMi’s number, especially since she must take after Ernestina’s scheming daddy….

At the same time, Ana Laura is tearfully telling Ernie the painful truth about how the car accident happened.  Ana Letmeeeee was sitting next to the car window and arguing with Ana Lucia.  "--Daddy scolded her.  She moved over easy.  She pulled at the steering wheel of the car, pulling Daddy’s arm away.  He put on the brakes.  I still remember the squealing of the tires [rechinar/rechinado = grinding, creaking, squeaking, squealing, rasping].  He lost control.  I lost consciousness.  I woke up in the clinic.  They had cut off my leg.  Ana Leticia remembers a lot more of this.  She dreamt a lot about this and has had nightmares ever since we were children.”  Ernie starts to comment about A MiMi having blamed A Laura all this time.  A Lora says she knows this, and how she says he lost control, but no, Grams…..and now you know the truth.

In the lobby of the Grand Rodrigo, Don Isidro sees A MiMi and mistakes her for Ana Lucia.  She’s a pure vision of loveliness and diamond-studded sensuality – one which even The Material Girl would be proud, considering A MiMi’s choice of lacy black bustier today.   Don Isidro’s tongue drops down, slaps onto the floor, does a triple roll and then snaps back into his mouth.  “—Ana Lucia, I finally found you!”  Ana Leticia is WTF impactada, but recovers instantaneously.

A que no me dejas Episode 5 (9.16.16) Lying is never the answer... Wait, what was the question?

Amor en silencio
We start this episode with Paulina and Adrián sealing their pact to have a "silent love" (wink!) secret from everybody who is against it. Yes. From all the options they had, probably lying is the best. Ay ajá!
According to them, if lying is the only way to keep everybody happy (including themselves), well, let's lie away! And enjoy while the truth comes to light!

Since Adrián is being offered a job in "Playa linda" (pretty beach) by his brother in law's cousins, they could take this opportunity and go live over there, far from Julieta, Mr Gonzalo and everybody else.

-We have to be very good actors to pretend in front of them that we have broken up- says Paulina-, because since we haven't, it will be pretty difficult to show a sad face...

Silent hate
In the Murat mansion, Nuria finds out her parents are adopting little Mauricio (otherwise known as Anito el huerfanito) and totally disagrees, because she sees that as a threat to her status in the family. It is already hard to compete with a sister and now they wanna add another member? 
Anyway. Both Inés and Gonzalo are already decided because Edgar (Gonzalo's distant cousin) doesn't love the kid and is always mistreating him due to his hearing impairment.

Tres Veces Ana - # 96

Discussion page and Sneaky's recap later in the day!

Sneaky's recap posted below.

Ok so the action (if we can call it that) happens mostly at the pedida de mano party. They do actually do the ceremonial asking for her hand thing, with lots of teary smiles all around,  except Ramiro’s dad who scowls, but before that a few interesting things do happen:
Abue introduces Remedios to everybody and everybody is polite except Facundo who tries to kill her with his eyes but she stays standing.
BadAna keeps up the goodie good act w/Santiago and Remedios– she’s cool w/Remedios being there as long as she doesn’t blab about Analu, and she tries to convince Remedios to tell her where her little sister is because she just misses her sooooooo much and has totes forgiven her for stealing her husband, although that hurts, and would like to see her, if only from a distance. Remedios tells BadAna that Analu doesn’t know anything about her sisters and just then Ramiro rescues Remedios from BadAna’s clutches and warns her not to trust her nice act, she’s pure poison.

A Que No Me Dejas #3 - Karen the Residential Badass Aka. Episode 3 MVP!


  • Julieta keeps choking the life out of Paulina as Nuria watches on like it’s a boxing match. Karen grabs Julieta and pulls her off Paulina. As Chelo helps Paulina, Karen and Michaela kick Julieta (out instead of restraining her and calling the police) and go see if Paulina is okay. Paulina wants no one to know about the attack, as it will only add fuel to the fire. (The fire’s already been lit though, might as well stroke it when it matters).
  • Gonzalo tells Ines that Monica wanted a recommendation letter and Ines says he should rehire her (Oh Ines, if you only knew). Gonzalo doesn’t think it’s a good idea (I wonder if that’s why he let her go in the first place).
  • Elisa, Monica’s mom, wants Monica to tell everyone the truth. Monica thinks it’s a dumb idea since she’d be outed as a mistress and she’d lose Gonzalo. Monica, who has her head in the clouds, wants Gonzalo to leave his wife out of love for her but Elisa warns her not to end up like her (another juicy secret). Monica tells her she just wants Gonzalo, not his money.
  • Alfonso shows Camilo his new office in the financial department. He tells him he’ll introduce him to his co-worker, Leonel later as he’s out taking a class. (Fresh out of college and already the boss of someone who has been there for years? Camilo that spells trouble). They also talk about how him and Paulina graduated with honors and now they’ll be working together in adjacent offices, he can romance her again.
  • Karen, badass as she is, says they should call the cops if they see Julieta again. Everyone agrees and her and Paulina go to cover up the handprints on Paulina’s neck with makeup. (Side note: Paulina is too cute with Mauricio). In her bedroom, Paulina still wants to cover up the attacks but Karen suggests she at least tell Adrian because Julieta is a cuckoo clock (thank you!)

Tres Veces Ana - # 95 - Donde esta Remedios?



We are back with the master of truth Ramiro as he is uncovering all of the TioM’s secrets. It suddenly dawns on him how unfair it was for TioM to go against him during the Ana Let’s crusade to spoil his reputation. Mariano thinks these are totally different things and, besides, they are men you see and there is another part of the body they sometimes must think with and Ramiro is welcome to debate this from his righteous stand, but Mariano really has no other insight to offer. Except to say that he is not totally and alone at fault for Gina’s death. 


In a shocking to all of us twist of events, Maribel has found Ana Lu finally and is trying to take her back to the store to show Ana Lu that girl who looks so much like her. We are starting to place bets on the number of coincidences that will fall into place to prevent the reunion. Kudos to Maribel though.

Sueño de Amor (SdA) US #127 (MEX #131). Wednesday September 14, 2016. GRAN FINAL, PARTE 2: Esperanza Loses Her Stomach, Her Hair, Her “Galán” and Her Dignity While Ricardolt Gets to Rub His Happiness In Her Face!

Congratulations, Blondie! You think getting Ricardolt was a prize? Ha-ha! He’s your anvil, darling! Enjoy!

At a glance 

-- You first tuned in thinking you were going to watch a sappy romantic comedy called “Dream Of Love” but it turned into a Frankenturkey horror show that ought to have been titled: “Move Over, Toots, I Found Your Replacement!”
-- No telenovela female protagonist has been humiliated, disrespected and demeaned like Betty Monroe. She was branded ugly, fat and a bad actress. She was blamed for Osorio’s failure as a seasoned circus producer and a budding writer of “original” stories. She was bullied into losing weight and shaving her head on national TV. She was forced to endure the introduction of another protagonist actress halfway into the novela’s run. She was made to wear zombie makeup and an unflattering wardrobe for most of the show, while Marjorie de Sousa sashayed around in impeccable hair, makeup and clothes. To top it all off, her character demeans herself to the jerk Osorio calls a galán, only to be strung along for a while then get rejected by him! But wait, it doesn’t end here! Esperanza is made to attend Ricardolt’s wedding and share in his happiness and baby news with a smile on her face! But wait, that’s not all! Esperanza has to endure Ricardolt’s presence at the inauguration of her dream school, accompanied by his pregnant wife and his perfect little recomposed family!
-- Friends don’t let friends watch Osorio’s novelas. If someone you care about expresses an interest in checking out one of those hideous mounds of mutant manure that Osorio produces, please stage an intervention!

How to tell if your sister is out of her mind: A Que no me dejas #2 09/13/2016

Hello patio peeps! I'm so happy to be back on the patio with you all! Today I'll give you a short recap but I hope it covers everything. I'm a little rusty but here it goes!

Recap is done!

I'm working on a little brochure, I'm going to call it "How to tell if your telenovela sister is a crazy person and a potential danger to you and the woman you love"-  Signs of a potential crazy sister include:


  • She smells your clothes when you're not around
  • She's jealous of every woman you date and runs them all off.
  • She wears a necklace with your initial on it
  • She accuses the father of the woman you love of being responsible for the death of your father AND that's NOT the worst thing she's done to someone you've dated!!!!
  • Her spouse recognizes that she's way too into you
If you spot any of those signs, run.
