I am still amazed at the amount of villains with agendas, some related to ElTal, some not...  (OSG, Pigorio, Elvira, Renato, Renato's girl...)

Oooops... we forgot to blog last night. Kari has taken a shine to Fred, and wow, that was fast, they kiss. Then they decide to pretend that it never happened, a prospect that makes them both nervous. Pina's heading out for a lunch/dinner with Arnold, and she's looking better (less sobbing, etc). At lunch (the same place she always go), he lays it on her that he's not gay. He wipes a napkin

I may do a more abbreviated recap (but with lots of screencaps!). We shall see. To get the conversation rolling, I present this screencap.

Well, friends, I apologize. Ez came home so exhausted from eight hours of making floral arrangements that he collapsed into sleep the minute his butt hit the chair. I had a friend over and the computer I can record the episodes on is kaput. So, no recording, no recap. I am very sorry. Also sorry I missed the episode! Can anybody fill us in? Please comment in lieu of recap.

We start the episode at the Irabien house, and Arnold is about to confess his big secret to Pina. Pina is a bit freaked out by Arnold’s behavior. Just as he’s about to say something, the doorbell rings and interrupts everything. It’s El Chato, there to see Adoracion.Pina has it out with Chato and tells him to leave. This gives Arnold a chance to think about what he’s about to do.Now we go to

Rebe and Arnold sip wine in Rebe’s Jacuzzi courtyard and Rebe says she has a hard time seeing a future with Pancho; it just seems dark and cloudy.

¡Hola a todos! Novelera continues her brilliant chronicles of Flor Salvaje, now in its últimas semanas and Corazón Valiente starring Adriana Fonseca is in the wings, waiting to step in. By the promos, it looks as if Ximena Duque hasn't quite worked the Carola Conde out of her system. Might be worth checking out though ... For a while, Novelera and Hombre de Misterio were hanging out with me at

Pancho confesses to Chela that he’s been totally selfish wanting everything to revolve around his needs but he wants her to be happy, even with Enzo. Pancho also tells her how the little terror took the discussion of post-wedding living arrangements and says he needs to have his spiky head shrunk. Chela throws a tantrum about this because it must have been Rebe’s idea. Maybe Pancho can get a

Well if you watched tonight’s episode you heard more bloviating in one hour than others hear in a lifetime.Redux: Antonio tells Doris he would divorce her to marry Camila Najera.Tonight: The rapid-fire mumble-mouth team of Fab and Flo talk about mom, who pretends to be a deprived shut-in during the weekends, but instead she sneaks out to who

 Recap by Marta Ivett I know this is very long, word for word, but have to admit I was entertained by the high school-ish argument back and forth between Camila and Pedro… two grown people arguing stupidly and two much younger guys just standing there entertained or scared.

I heartily enjoy the recap... Pina catches Vins and Candi making out and gets it recorded... Beto jumps out of his pants singing and dancing for joy, because the great inaki gasco wants to invest, which could pull them out of debt... Chela meets Enzo in the gym, but is disappointed to find him in his business suit (he's got to meet with the great Inaki)Why the hell did Pina give Arnoldo the phone

I'll have you know that I almost named this Cap: "The enamored old turd," but remembered some of your comments about Rohell's "complex hotness" in the previous recap discussion, and came up with this title instead.

Vince is so selfish and coarse: with jubilation he tells Candy "We can finally be together, and no damn fetus standing between us." He plays the old "look me in the eyes and say you don't love me" card. Candy: "I can't build a relationship over the misery of somebody else, what happened to Pina is the worst thing that can happen to a mother." She admits that, disgracefully, she does love him, but

In Repeatsville, Pancho tries to wield the heavy hammer of narcissistic patriarchy and Chela tells him where to shove it. The kids agree that Pancho has no business arranging Chela’s playdates and keeping her off the dangerous big-kid slide and cutting her meat. She isn’t a little kid, let her live her own life. Meanwhile, Pina sobs wretchedly and asks Vins if he’s really going to leave, when

Once again my son failed to finish his recap, so I'll put it up for you! - MelinamaEnzo and Vins are grumbling via cellphone about communist Pancho, who for some reason cares that many people will lose their livelihood if his plan to expand the business falls apart (evidently they've run out of money mid-project). Panch himself drives up to Avon and Vins hops out of the car to follow him and dive

She thanks her dad for her life.

Ahoy all! Cynderella's recap for last night will be posted a little later today, sorry for the delay. In the meantime I think we can all agree that Elna June's prediction that this would be queso fresco puro turned out to be spot on. This, of course, makes recapping and commenting almost too much fun. Until the recap gets posted feel free to comment amongst yourselves. Possible subject matter...

Hello everyone, based on a preview for a show on Univision, it looks like La que no podía amar is going to end late (and maybe start early?) on Monday (TONIGHT), as well as Tuesday 1-31-12, and I'd assume that this screwed up schedule might apply to the rest of the week. Make sure to set your recorders for 30 minutes over (just to be sure!) for a while, so you don't miss anything this week! (

¡Hola a todos! This past week we said goodbye to the La casa de al lado and welcomed a new novela, Relaciones peligrosas. It looks like a few folks here will be following this one. Not me though. At this point, nothing in the Telemundo line-up has seduced me. That could change any time – I’m easy :) Hombre and Novelera, thanks for keeping the ball rolling with your excellent, yet succinct

The short of it: Tomás continues to be a waste of pretty packaging. Mónica meets her mama. Pancho and Rebeca take their romance on the road, pedal to the metal, no brakes. Alfredo catches Vicente and Candelaria in flagrante. Everyone LOVES Alejandra Guzmán. The long of it: We’re back in the barrio where Tomás el tomcat is hissing and clawing. He will NOT allow Lupita to marry that…

So, Rogelio just has to go and ask what made Ana Paula change her mind about marrying him, and she says she needs to help Miguel. He keeps getting the crap beat of him in prison. She says she'll marry Rogelio, but he's got to get Miguel out of prison. Rosaura runs into Bruno accidentally on purpose. She came to tell him now's the right time to make his move, since Gustavo died after all. "Who

Hello everyone. I was supposed to recap the first hour today, but something weird happened with my DVR, because there was a game on rather than the show. I'm very sorry. I didn't catch the show tonight due to either setting my DVR wrong or due to the show not having been aired at the usual time.

Part 1:Lots of surprises for many of us tonight. Some of it having to do with the plot, but most of it with the unexpected schedule change. Seems there’s a soccer game on tonight (Mexico vs. Venezuela) that started at 9pm EST/6pm Pacific. Our show is still a two-parter, but it started an hour and 10 minutes early here on the East Coast, messing up dvrs/vcrs, and throwing our recappers off too.

Cap. 15 As Viewerville adjusts its tv screens and slugs down another Jolt Cola to insure it does not doze off through another night of somewhat lack lustered torment, turbidity, and turmoil, it’s one nightmare after another for our newly maimed and aggrieved Michael.  Tia Rosaura, thinking only of Numero Uno, begins wailing at him in his hospital bed about his certain future behind bars if

After some dilly-dally repeats, we’re back where we left off, with the family surprising Chela for her birthday with The Only Mariachis In Mexico (seriously, watch enough telenovelas and you will recognize these same guys everywhere) and breakfast tacos with the whole casa popular. How freaking early do people get up to have time for parties before they go to work? Once they sit down to eat, the

For the time being, Rogelio and that smarmy jerkface David "plan" to just keep the info about Miguel to themselves. If you can call that a plan. David makes it clear that if the people Miguel hit with the 18-wheeler end up dying (how the hell did they survive that in the first place?) it's going to be Miguel's problem. He's mostly concerned with recovering the cargo and keeping the company's nose

 El Talismán is the eponymous name of a California ranch that will have many owners since many covet the property. This is the story of three families, Los Aceves, Los Negrete and Los Nájera, whose desire for El Talismán will cause hate and rivalry, and many family members will have their lives destroyed by this hypnotic ranch. Apparently this ranch is in the exotic location of Fresno, California

I am absolutely and completely lazy this morning and am going to try something different—I'm going to blog as I go along.  First I'm going to take a page from Sara and do a quick list of last night's highlights. Then I'll start to add more details and a LOT of screenshots! Let's get started. Last night's episode had some snoozy parts in it

This is from Jim, our newest team member. Thanks, Jim!Fernanda is in the hospital and is quite ill. She lets Dr. Octavio know several things, including the fact that the detective has been unable to find her lost son and that she wants to change her will. She tells Octavio that she’d like to put her fortune and company in the hands of the person who is the closest thing she has to a son…Pancho

Hey guys! No clever subtitle today.Fernanda, miraculously alive (I guess she couldn't have really died without a week of hospital deathbed episodes), is trying to sign over her shares to Pancho, but Doc Oc would rather get her on a plane to Germany. Pancho needs a little convincing as well, so she lays it on really thick (not just with the "I'm dying" guilt-trip, but also with some heavy handed

The bare minimum: Ro-hell and Vainy are together again Tia lies, cries, spies and pries. David and Sin are officially an item. Gus plans to file a complaint--until he gets the severance pay Bruno uses his sketchy connections to get Gus out of the picture. Bruno and Vainy have a minor falling out.  Ro-hell and Ana Pau fight (quelle suprise)...oh and Miguel's job is in Ro-hell's hands. Speaking of

Our episode opens on Freddy's busted nose. He's acting kind of bemused, but Pina is freaking out. She winds up squeezing it and making things worse.Vins is still gasping for breath in the grip of the Candi-Pina vicegrip. Support one radio program, lose the other lady.Vins and Enzo want to double their salary, and Beto whips out the Titanic analogy. The company will sink. I wonder if the new

Here’s to peace, equality and justice for all on this Martin Luther King Day. Enzo shares with Vicente that he doesn’t want his daughter to suffer. Vaincente would rather talk about his problems with Candi but offers that something will occur to him to help Enzo.

There was a question recently about episode numbers. I had been counting the episodes in one-hour increments and numbering them accordingly. Not surprisingly, these numbers don't match up with the official numbers on the esmas website. I haven't been looking there because I want to avoid spoilers. The ep numbers tend to get out of sync because of differences between the way Televisa creates these

Cap. 10 Holy frijoles, telenovela fans!  Ana Paula’s left the building and Rogelio’s turned into a green-eyed Grinch. The arrogant Iberian ice queen, Vanessa, has refused to apologize to Nana Maria and, furthermore, she refuses to leave the premises until she’s good and ready despite Regelio Mont-ogro’s ordering it. Vainessa waits for him to roll in front of her and then bends over, laying a

LA CASA DE AL LADO – as of FridayIn the beginning. this show was delicious. There was so much nervous energy, so much sly malice, so many people we loved to hate. It was great fun trying to guess what crazy secrets would be revealed from one night to the next. And then there were the stylized and stylish sets, each one with its own story to tell. Now, with Relaciones peligrosas slated to

Tomcat and Peppy chat about their love lives or lack thereof on the Avon steps. The police arrive and arrest Pep for kidnapping Moni. Celeste runs in to alert her. Meanwhile, in the office, Moany asks Enzo why he lied to her about her mother. Before he can answer, Sandra interrupts with news of the arrest. Moany yells at her dad and says he’s selfish and she hates him. Moany tries to

So, Paula's gone, but she left a goodbye note for Rogelio. He backs away from the breakfast table for the tiny bit of privacy that affords: "Dear Numbskull, hey, I tried to talk to you, but nooo. I'm not putting this job above my dignity and you've been a total ass. I'll pay you back the money you used to pay off Bruno, starting with this month's salary, but you're not the boss of me no more!

LQNPA (La que no podía amar) Ep 8 - January 11, 2012. We start with a rewind of MentiRosa chit-chatting with Bruno about how she wants him to be in Paula's life, not that pipsqueak Gustavo. Bruno smiles and is all for it. At the Hacienda, Vainessa struts past Ana Paula and says, "Tell your boss that I want to see him." She has this bored smirk on her face, as if Ana Paula is a bug she should

Moni is impressed by Pepe's ability to excel at many expensive hobbies (he may have friends in Valla Brava, but surely they didn't give him all those free water ski trips, parasails etc?) and is sad to go home, back to school - and to talk to her papa. She wishes they'd talked to Enzo before escaping to their love nest by the ocean. Enzo drinks himself to oblivion, draining a crystal decanter,

We open on Tomas revealing his feelings for Pina. She protests - Yeah he's from a different class, but she's also married and has a son his age. She tells him to leave and never come back. Good thing he just finished fixing the plumbing. She looks kind of funny being so harsh in such a silly dress.Candi drags Vins into Zumba, and allows them to start the music again. He shuffles around, but keeps

We have a new blogger, Jim, who took the second hour last night. Let's welcome him heartily! Here's his recap...Hi everyone. I’m pleased to join the ranks of recappers. Hopefully, I’ll do a good job with the recaps. I am fluent in Spanish and understand the slang and dialect well. Here we go! I’m going to start off a bit before the second hour actually began.

The short and sweet Bruno continues to mack on Ana Pau Ana Pau confronts Vainessa and tells her to stay away from Ro-hell. Ro-hell’s approval of the building project means Gus has reason to be in San Gabriel often. Gus continues to pine for the Ana Pau…despite his sister’s objections.

So Speaking of families, I noticed that the actress who plays Gloria in Modern Family is doing State Farm ads now.We're treated to a brief re-hash of Pepe's well-prepared room full of flowers, candles, and a greasy sleaze-ophonist (seriously, how did he pull all of this together? When he got to the bus station he didn't even know what time the bus left. Maybe he had the entire love-party on

Good evening with thanks to Marshall McLuhan for inspiration on my first night with Una Familia Con Suerte. We present another week of two hour slots, oh goodie goodie. Some observations: the dialog is full of nonsense and slurred slang so I hope to give you better translations as I get used to it. But it is possible that it won’t make any more sense if I listen more times. Ahhhh. And

Cap 5 We return to someplace in the distant wilds of Mexico, a far piece from Tuxtla and civilization, to watch in horrific awe as Rogellio, crippled and emotionally crushed, is forced to crawl, utterly humiliated, back into his (really reedy-looking red) wheel chair while his former ladylove--the fine-lookin’ ex-fiancee, Vanessa--and his Nana Maria look on, speechlessly impactadas.  --Well,
