A Que No Me Dejas (AQNMD) #19. Thursday October 6, 2016. Worst Wedding Ever! Adrián Lands In Jail On False Charges Right After His Bride Jilts Him!

Ain’t this a vitch!
At a glance 

-- Adrián has a VERY bad day. Paulina dumps him at the wedding venue in front of everybody. He learns that she has feelings for Camilo and she is going to give that relationship a try. And to top it all off, his ex-future-father-in-law frames him for drug trafficking and gets him arrested right after the humiliating public breakup. 
 
-- If you’re not watching this show, you gotta catch up and jump in! It is awesome.com! 

A closer look

Julieta intercepts Paulina outside the beauty parlor and shows the beaming bride the documents proving that her father swindled his business partners out of their personal fortunes. It’s Pau’s decision: her dad’s freedom or her marriage to Adrián. The only way Julieta could forgive the fraud committed against her late father is if Pau gives up Adrián. Paulina tries to reason with the unreasonable: What happened between their parents is neither hers nor Adrián’s fault. They love each other and if they are not together, they will be utterly miserable. Julieta is adamant to make Paulina pay for taking Adrián away from her. The nutter sister adds that Adrián will be much happier with her. She warns Pau one last time, before jumping on her broom and taking off: Either she cancels the wedding or the entire Murat family will fall from grace (caer en la desgracia)!

Tres Veces Ana # 110

Discussion page until Sneaky's recap

Sneaky's recap posted below:

Ramiro’s dad kills himself. Again. And Ramiro cries. A lot. He also says stuff, but he was crying and I was bored sooo, yeah, I think he said something about not being loved, but who knows.

Sue and Analu convo – upshot; now they both understand all the weird things and they should forgive Sole and work together to help get her out of jail.  (sidenote: this whole nobody really loves me thing Analu is doing really grates and seems a little self pitying and self indulgent of her)

Inaki calls BadAna and tries to get a few precious minutes of her time to tell her about Orlando’s blackmail but she’s too busy getting her nails done and shopping so he’ll have to wait till she has time for him, byee.

A Que No Me Dejas #18 - How Many Snakes Does It Take to Stop a Wedding?

As Paulina and Adrian have their picnic/love-making session, the world them continues to crumble…

Monica is helping the kids with homework when Elisa walks in. Elisa tells her she was gossiping with the neighbor but Monica sees something in her face. She asks if something is wrong. Elisa tells her it’s nothing…she was just thinking how she should buy a new dress for Paulina’s wedding. She barely goes out and she thinks this wedding is going to be special.

Monica asks if she thinks it’s going to be really fancy. Elisa tells her she doesn’t know but she’s really excited to go and she wants to dress nice. She encourages Monica to do so as well. Monica is still apprehensive about what Gonzalo might say but Elisa tells that he’s been really bad to her lately so she shouldn’t even tell him. Monica agrees.

Camilo tells Karen that her mother is going to tell Ines as soon as Paulina gets married. He tells Karen the whole story. Camilo is still unsure if he should tell Paulina but Karen tells him they need to tell her, after Raquel tells Ines, that they knew everything so they don’t have any lies between them. Camilo tells her that she will have to tell her since he will be gone by then. They decide to go get a drink because they both (definitely!) need it.

Alfonso is still bothered by the fact that Gonzalo chose another lawyer to handle Mauricio’s case. Raquel doubts he’d want to be his friend after he knows that he hit Ines. Alfonso is livid; he then agrees that Raquel should tell Ines the truth. Raquel is happy he agrees but she has to wait because Ines’ health is delicate.

Tres Veces Ana # 109

Discussion page for all of you, patio pals, while our very own Ms. Cynthia Hampton (who has very graciously offered to recap for us this episode while I am out of town) prepares a recap! Thanks, Cynthia!

Cynthia's fantastic and entertaining recap posted below:

We open with the scene from yesterday where Viri and Mariano are together and she is telling him that she is not the woman for him and this was a mistake. As she leaves his home, she stops in the doorway, Viri tells herself she should never have let herself fall in love. Meanwhile Mariano says to himself he will never forgive her for this.

Javi is at Inaki’s place showing him the video that Oily gave him that shows that Inaki and Ana Le are getting rid of a body. Javi says, “What did you do? How could you just kill someone and then throw them out like trash?” Inaki says it’s not really like that. It was really self-defense, he was just protecting Ana Le, who is the niece of his boss and he hit this man a little too hard on the counter. He didn’t really mean to kill him. Javi wants to know why he didn’t call the police. Inaki explains that he didn’t think the police would believe him. Javi tells Inaki that Oily now wants a LOT OF MONEY to keep this quiet. Boy Inaki is way over his head this time. What the heck is he going to do to get out of this one?

Gonzalo's secret is not that much of a secret any more: A que no me Dejas #17 10/04/2017



  • Raquel finds out about Gonzalo's affair with Monica, she tells her husband and son that her loyalty is towards Ines and that once Paulina gets married she is going to spill the frijoles.
  • Every one at Casa Murat will be learning sign language, even the household staff
  • Julieta and her minion discuss how Julieta plans to stop the wedding, Julieta does not give details.
  • Ines still can't forgive Gonzalo for hitting her and I can't blame her.
  • Paulina and Karen bump into Rene and Alan and Paulina invites the boys to her celebration- we will come back to this.
  • Nuria is a major witch to little Mauricio, she grabs his little arms and screams at him that he is an orphan and that she will make his life a living hell. Umm, b*tch, Mau is deaf, he can't hear you, you fool! Also you already gave him this speech in an episode a week ago.
  • Maybe Nuria is mad because she's not getting any from Leonel- who she accuses of being gay.
  • Leonel denies this and says he just wants to treat her like a princess and with respect, they end up about to do *it* in the bathroom of the club they went to but Leonel makes it stop before it goes further.

Tres Veces Ana, #107, Monday Oct 3, 2016: The One and Only

I missed the first half-minute or so of this, so please let me know if I missed anything during that brief but potentially crucial window!

Tin gloats that AnaLet knows she can't win without him on her side. He warns her not to judge him by his appearance. He can be more dangerous than she. She can't control her impulses, but he's the lord of patience. "The last chesspiece is in place to kill the king," he says. AnaLet retorts, "with me or against me, I can make you into pieces."

Tin says he can destroy AnaLet. "I know you were at Gina's place when she died."

Marcelo rummages through the contents of the safe deposit box. There are several black folders. Marcelo peers wide-eyed at one particular piece of paper that we don't get to see, and intones with amazement: "Rodrigo Casasola!"

In the hospital, seeing a doctor look at a clipboard triggers a memory for Remedios. She came to visit Santi in the hospital after his first accident. She found a man looking at Santi's chart... she realizes that's where she'd seen Rodrigo before.

In the present, the doctor tells Remedios that all is looking well.

At a glance

-- The Gonz is busted! Camilo and Raquel found out about his ho-on-the-side and Julieta discovered that he swindeled his business partners and hid the money in an offshore account.

A closer look

At Casa Murat, after the slap-and-swoon, Gonzalo acts repentant and says he is ready to do anything to make Inés forgive him. Does that include accepting Paulina’s marriage to Adrián? No, he’ll never accept that union. Then, as far as Inés is concerned, they have nothing to talk about.

Tres Veces de Ana #86: Shocked and Over-Awed



Parte 1~~
Viridiana shows up at The Realty Place demanding to see Mariano to give him a piece of her mind about his having locked up Soledad for kidnapping.

Back in county lockup, aka “la cárcel”, Solebad admits to Valeria she’s bad company cuz she’s very introverted and keeps to herself.  Just then Sole is taken out to speak with “visitors."

A Que No Me Dejas #13 - With Friends Like These Who Needs a Nuria or Julieta

Ines hears Gonzalo talking to Monica over the phone about her son’s disappearance. Monica tells him she tried to call Alfonso first but he didn’t answer so she called the police but she needs his help. Gonzalo tells her she’s on her way. Ines runs out of the room but isn’t able to reach Gonzalo in time. Ines recognized the voice of the woman as Monica’s (oh oh!)

Paulina and Mauricio meet Adrian at the beach. Adrian brings Mauricio a gift and then kisses Paulina and hopes she brought her bathing suit today; he couldn’t sleep last night thinking of her (hubba hubba!)

In the boat where Rene stashed himself, the fishermen find him. They think he was trying to steal the boat and want to return to shore to go to the police. Rene jumps off the boat because he’s not going back.

Gonzalo and Monica are in a fight. Gonzalo can’t believe Monica let their son run away. Monica tells him it’s not her fault and he shouldn’t blame her because she has had to educate them by herself. Gonzalo proposes they wait it out until he runs out of food, etc. but Monica wants to look for him now.

At the Fonseca household, breakfast is full of tension. Raquel makes it clear that she doesn’t want fights like the one that happened yesterday in public again, no matter what the reason. Alfonso doesn’t tell Raquel anything despite her questions and Camilo leaves the table bothered.

The fishermen are going after Rene but he’s getting tired of swimming and stops mid stroke.

Tres Veces Ana # 104 - And this is why you should always ask to see your realtor’s credentials



Holy guacamole, we wanted some action and today’s episode certainly delivered. So let’s dive right in. 

Santiago and Mariano are having a heart-to-heart. Mariano asks many questions with his usual holier-than-thou attitude. Santi is very respectful and apologetic – he will leave the lives of both sisters as promised. Santi thinks there is no need to tell anything about no surgery to Ana Le and Ana Lu doesn’t know about the tumor to begin with. He also won’t have Remedios with him, so as to not compromise her safety again. Mariano thinks he would need someone – perhaps a woman he loves as a mother – by his side throughout this ordeal. Mariano is also sad to know that he will see Marcelo/Santiago die. There was a time they were friends. What about Facundo – does he know? No, and Santi doesn’t consider him as a father. Santi will let the tumor kill him, and he poetically goes into a mad discourse on tumor being the weapon destined to kill the murderous no-good Marcelo. And his, Santi’s, new life served to bring the sisters together. He really is the vehicle of the destiny (and we should petition to rename the novella to “One man, one path, one destiny….oh, and the separated triplets”).

Howdy! We have no episode tonight, so in lieu of a recap I offer this silly advice column for the Anas and their friends.

Dear Patio: I have my boyfriend's wedding ring. I've been planning to give it to his wife when I meet her, but I just found out she's my long-lost sister, so now giving her the ring just seems awkward and a little mean. Should I do it anyway?

Also, I'd like to bring gifts when I meet her and my other sister. What do you suggest?

Tres Veces Ana #102: And The Truth Shall Set Who Free? I Think I'd Rather Be Chained

Ramiro and Ana Laura have had another lover’s spat.  They make up, vowing NEVEREVER to have another.  Just then Ernestina, La Gran Abuela, makes a grand gesture of sanctioning premarital passion by presenting the two an all-expenses paid 3 day getaway holiday.  (Dunno, but having Granny pay for my first out-of-wedlock, secret fantasy roll in the hay just seems sooooo wrong.)

Samuel and Mariano discuss the fine and finer points of Mo’s first and second encounters with Soledad and Ana Lucia.  “—Instead of contacting us she kept the girl!  She kidnapped my niece.”  So, first off, Mo wants Sam to change his will.  He’s now giving 50% to Ana Lucha and 25% each to the other triplets.  This will even the score for 20 years of financial deprivation she suffered.  Sam says that’s all well and good, Bro, but stop and think how Ana Leticia will react to this. (Good catch, Sammy Boy.  It ain’t gonna be pretty.)

A que no me dejas Episode 10 (9.23.16) Lies have expiration dates. Check them before you lie.

Paulina and Adrián's relationship has become a web of lies and everybody and everything is getting trapped in it. Yes! Like a black hole of lies!

Nuria lied.
She said she had an exam and that she was going to a party and she went to Beach Pretty to offer herself to Adrián and tell him that Paulina had replaced him with Camilo. Adrián can be ugly but is not stupid, so he didn't believe her and threw her out of the room. In any case, she planted the seed of doubt in his mind and he went to Port Hope to verify if in reality Paulina was with Camilo. AND SHE WAS! Of course Adrián got to the hospital in the precise moment when the doctor told them that little Mau was out of the coma and Paulina was hugging Camilo so after Adrián saw that, Camilo got a knuckle sandwich and Adrián left without listening to anything Paulina had to say. 

Life is fair (when you lie)
When Nuria was arriving to Port Hope after the delay caused by sleeping with Napoleón aka Luis, a random guy she picked up at the bar who then robbed her, and after asking Leonel for a favor so she could return home, Adrián was leaving, so they are both witnesses to Paulina's effort to talk to him and explain what really happened. Adrian refuses to listen.
When Nuria sees Adrián go to the boarding area ignoring Paulina, while Paulina is crying like a Magdalena, she thinks life is fair. That's how messed up her mind is.

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

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.

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.)

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.

Tres Veces Ana - #94: An Open Secret

Color Guide:
Recall in Red
Reader Response in Blue
Spanish Dialogue in Green

Ana Lu needs a clue

We return to the scene after Solebad has her concierge/taxi service, Evaristo, pick her up. He takes her to a restaurant, where she woes on and on about AnaLu being An-aloof. He thinks it's time she told the truth to not risk losing her, but she's desperate to know what Aloof knows exactly so she doesn't overspill her jar of secrets. He gets Shakespearian: But the truth strains out through the smallest crack, and always ends up coming to the surface (Pero la verdad se cuela hasta por la rendija más pequeña, y siempre termina por salir a la superficie). In any case, he promises to protect her. She blames him for being sloppy (descuidaste) and bringing Marcelo to her doorstep.

Sueño de amor, GRAN FINAL part 1 of 2 - Ep. 126 usa/131 mex (9.13.16) ...and we ended up with 7 weddings (2 failed) and 8 funerals!! How's that for original?

The "dream of love" also known as "the worst nightmare" has reached its end. 
We finally woke up! 
That's good and bad, because we might be happy, but there will be more monkeys people in the unemployment list (starting with Osorio) looking for a chance, any chance, to do ANYTHING. ¡Dios nos agarre confesados!

Anyway. With this recap I say goodbye to SUEÑO DE AMOR and I sincerely thank all the carayitas who filled the patio with their laughter and precise comments. Let's start:

As you can see, I am lucky not to cover the whole kidnap.

No. We didn't hear a shot. I thought it was Baxter storming in with the SWAT team but no. Probably something else. 
Ricardo almost lost both hands getting free from the plastic strap fasteners but finally got it, being able to tackle Ernesto down, hold his hand and with his own gun kill two of his achichincles. After Ernesto was neutralized, Ricardo flew to untie Cristina Vález Valderrama, firewoman of education and therapist, leaving poor stomachless Esperanza to fend by herself.
No. She could not believe it either. With eyes big as plates she stared at Ricardo who was holding CVV tight completely oblivious to her. She took the gun and ran to try to kill Ernesto!

A Que No Me Dejas (AQNMD) #1. Monday September 12, 2016. GRAN ESTRENO: When The Sea Hits Your Eye Like A Big Starfish Pie, That's Amore!

Paulina and Adrián our starfish lovers

At a glance

-- Paulina Murat and Adrián Olmedo are madly in love but a whole lotta crazy stands in the way of their happiness. 
-- The Murat, Olmedo, Fonseca, Córdova and Almonte families are interlinked in one intricate web of passion, hatred, jealousy, obsession, secrets, lies and intrigues that will get unraveled as Paulina and Adrián struggle to protect their love.

A closer look

A few years ago, on an idyllic deserted beach in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, Paulina Murat and Adrián Olmedo profess their undying love for each other. Adrián gives her a starfish medallion necklace and recounts how the starfish came to exist. A poor fisherman fell in love with a princess, but her affections vacillated between him and a wealthy man who offered to lay his entire fortune at her feet. The fisherman asked Poseidon, the God of the Sea, for help. Poseidon reached for the stars in the sky, gathered them all and deposited them at the bottom of the sea, so that the fisherman can offer them to his beloved. “And since then, the starfish have protected and perpetuated true love.” concludes Adrián. “True love like ours!” adds Paulina. From a short distance, beautiful green eyes, green with ugly envy, glare daggers at the smooching couple. They belong to Paulina’s older sister, Nuria Murat.

Sueño de amor # 125 (MEX 130) Mon. 9/12/16 Ernesto Reminds Esperanza Twice: She Has No Stomach

Well, this is my last recap for this novela and I would like to thank my fellow recappers Adriana, Nandicta and Pablo for making this a fun experience as well as all of the commenters on our tiny patio who also made this worthwhile and fun.

ACT ONE: Kidnappings

We start out where we left off with poor, pathetic, crying and conniving Ernesto begging Esperanza to let him in to talk. He is not there to hurt her. Against her better judgment (and because she has a bad habit of giving in), she eventually caves. As soon as he is in and she goes to get him some water, she knows she is in trouble. She comes back out to talk to Ernesto and has an incredulous look on her face the whole time he raves on and on. Ernesto is supposedly upset that Esperanza could believe what Tracy said about him on the recording after all they have been through together. He loves her. Esperanza mentions the photo. Not him! Ricardo is turning her against him. How can she doubt him and his love. He does not have to take days to decide. He wants her. He knows Ricardo is going to choose Cristina. His reason is when she got sick it took Ricardo no time at all to hook up with Cristina. Esperanza defends Ricardo by saying she told him she did not love him. Ernesto thinks that Ricardo should have investigated what was really going on. Ricardo's love is divided. Now he has a younger, attractive fertile woman in front of him with a child the same age as his children and Esperanza can no longer have children and as much as he hates to say it: she does not have a STOMACH!!!! She is also the woman who lied to him, deceived him. Ricardo will never ever forgive her completely. The long and the short of it is since Ricardo will choose Cristina and since Esperanza's children are no longer living with her, he can offer her his unconditional love. They can leave. Esperanza wants to know where. Paris, Rome, wherever she wants. He knows they can be happy together. Esperanza tells Ricardo that she does not love him. Ernesto tells her that that could change. She has affection for him. Esperanza reiterates that she loves Ricardo. She does not trust Ernesto and she prefers to wait for Ricardo's decision. She is declining Ernesto's offer but that is not the end. Crafty Ernesto has one final request: will Esperanza go out to breakfast with him one last time as great friends so he can say goodbye to her? He promises her that after today he will not bother her anymore and he will accept Ricardo's decision whatever it might be. He begs her like a dog. She does not think that it would be convenient but Ernesto does not give up and lays the "how could she deny him a dying man who gave her his whole life just see her happy and alive?" guilt trip on her until she gives in again.
