♥ Mi Corazón es Tuyo ♥ Lunes 3/23/15 ♥ #173 ♥
Labels: mcet
I am going to miss your recaps, screenshots, and dialogue amongst the Gods. I am sure I will have recap withdrawal once this is over. Add to that JS withdrawal .
I hope other producers noticed these young actors and give them all (along with Edith) the opportunity to further their acting skills by casting them in other telenovelas.
I was on Edith's side but she seems to be playing with Xime and Nando now. I don't like it. Feels vengeful.
Loved watching Isas food intake.
What does David have instore for Aura? Goldmine? Does he plan to sell the baby? Extort money from J&J? He seemed to take some pleasure in seeing Jenny's suffering.
When JS started crying at the baby announcement he made me cry too!
as far as how they told Fernando... the older kids said they had something to tell their dad and found an innovative way to do that. Sebas said 'and its good news!' and the twins said 'that Dad will love!' 'it is paternity!'... Luz added 'in Ana's belly!'.. it was Ana who finally said 'a new being began to exist!'
this was a bit much on the wedding night of Bruno/Manuela.
However, it was cute that Manuela said to Fanny '(hashtag sign) hashtag it will happen tonight! (finally!)
I'm sorry for naming the wrong person in my previous post. I realized afterwards that it was not meant for you.
I have tried accessing recaps of old novelas using only IE on my laptop and on my cell and; I haven't been able to access a majority of them. Since I've tried them all with no success: Firefox, IE, Dolphin, and Google, I might be doing something wrong
But for me it isn't a pain to use Delicious.com and view them that way unless or until I learn a better way.
While in College, I very well remember the change over from bundles and bundles of keycards to PCs. At that time, engineering students only had to learn Basic and Fortran.
So anyone who is familiar with coding and the rapidly changing IT world, like yourself, has my upmost regard and admiration.
These two will have major problems without better boundaries.
Big fashion fail for Bruno on his wedding day and while Manuela looked pretty I would have preferred to see her in something vintage 40s. She has the right look for that.
Manuela's outfit did, however, fit with her daily wardrobe choice.
Loved all the sweet touches in tonight's show. I am enjoying Ana's exuberance without the screeching. Not sure what happened but she is as appealing as she has ever been and her relationship with Fernando is lovely. The kids were cute and I had to laugh at the twins' use of the hose of Pablo. And Bruno and Manuela's wedding was well done.
Even Johnny (graying at the temples now) is winning me over. Yikes.
Now if only we didn't have the compulsively-eating Bruja out to get the good guys in new and nefarious ways.
The episode to me was pretty "Meh". Not much went on of note.
I did like the way they told Fer that Ana was pregnant.
I was going to tear into Edith for her phoniness and Ximena for her childish behavior but I'm not. I blame the writers for insulting our intelligence and rehashing the exact same scenario with Edith/Ximena/Nando. Only this time Ximena and Edith switched places. I'm done wasting brain cells on this stupid part of the story. It has gone on far to long and they need to put it to rest. I did wish Fanny would've been more vocal about Edith playing with her brother. She just smiled and acted like it was no big deal.
I was pretty bored with this episode, hope tomorrow is better.
I was liking where this plot was going. I thought that Jenny and Johnny were completely unreasonable when the bio-daddy showed up. After all, he is the baby's father. JeJo should have been happy that the baby had a father that wanted her, but no, instead the story made it look like bio-daddy was some monster that wanted to take the poor baby away from JeJo.
Add to it the ominous music played every time that bio-daddy came on screen. I actually thought they would use Darth Vader's theme.
Then we are exposed to the truth: Bio-daddy just wants to make a buck by selling the baby back to JeJo! Ugh, hat lost it for me.
For those that did not like Bruno's choice of wedding attire. I agree, he should have worn something more mainstream. The attire he wore might be "campesino" as someone mentioned, but it is also the classical formal attire of the people of Veracruz. Both their outfits are revered because they represent a culture, so I can understand why they wore it. Her dress was beautiful, accompanied by the apron and the shawl and was fitting for a wedding, but he should have broken tradition and wore something more elegant.
Whatever, they are married now and as we saw, Bruno did not wear the classical Veracruz attire for long!
I also agree with Bryan. The NandoEdXi story is beyond ridiculous. And what is up with him? Doesn't he shave anymore? He looks like he is wearing a 10PM shadow! Is that supposed to be cool?
:-)
I'll digress entirely for a few dozen words...
Are any of you computer programmers? Or into computers or their history? If so maybe this will interest:
Dartmouth 1964 BASIC
Now back to our regular programming :-)
"Unknown Room With Institutional Walls"
While I have no problem with Bruno and Manuela's attire and wedding, still scratching my head over the Bruno/Betty thing, just stooooopid.
With you Salvador on Juan/Jen/David baby thing.
Gosh, Angel and Magda so outta place and can tell the story line an eleventh hour add on.
I also liked Edith until now. She's creepy and understand why Ximena is walking on eggshells. Never bought into Nando having two 20 year old college girls wanting him though.
Laughed every time Isabela shown laying about stuffing her face with junkfood. Otherwise, it is absolutely amazing how much these people can do in one TN day.
I have to agree with you that having Fer be the last one to find out about the new baby had me head scratching. Seems he being the last to know anything got them in trouble before, or was this a way to make all that go away? I don't know, guess I'm the dad should be the first to know and then blab to everyone else.
Now I know we know that Jen and Johny don't know that David is a crud. Finally. But here's the thing, if it was an honest guy coming for the daughter he didn't know he had, threatening him and refusing to hand over the baby would not be cool. Wish they had written that differently but it came off as justified because of what we discover on this guy. The writing sometimes....
I found Isa amusing last night. At each visit on what she was planning as she saw what she was losing her snacks grew accordingly. Now that was a funny touch. Going to lose that girlish figure and the slammer...I can see it.
I'm hoping the whole Nando thing ends with him ending anything with either girl. Just me.
Not a fan of the twins' behavior but it's our "comic relief" it seems. Stealing the license, though it ended with everyone showing up...still not cool.
Daisynjay
I especially enjoyed:
Pablo hiding in the bushes.
Isabela stuffing her face with popcorn.
The twins.
Manuela and Bruno's wedding attire.
Daisynjay, I also hope that Nando ends up with neither girl no matter who ends it. He is in way over his head.
Jarifa
Ximena went after him when she was in nympho mode and Edith saw him as someone safe whose intelligence she could respect.
Current prediction re our Evil Stepmother: She will end up fat and in prison.
i just had a vision... that the twins were the handsome version of 'impractical jokers'...
I hope not, but that is the vision i just got. so i hope the gods are right in that they will grow out of the 'prank' fever and be good honorable men.
Alex and Guille do things that are childish despite their cleverness. When they're old enough and get interested in girls they'll turn their creativity to other things. I know I've said this before but since they have three sisters they will know more about girls than guys who have none. That will be a serious advantage for them.
Laura is that kind of opportunist. She boinked Enfrique to get her tuition paid to the more elite school. She is also much sicker in that she deliberately goes after guys who are "taken" in order to steal them from other girls who were supposed to be her friends.
Laura is damned lucky that she was able to get away from Enfrique before he made demands on her that she couldn't satisfy.
I realize that tattoos are more mainstream than they were a generation ago, but the ones visible above a normal blouse neckline are potential job-stoppers. That butterfly would be beautiful if it were painted on for Carnivale or Halloween, but as a permanent thing it's more like mutilation to me. She said it earlier: She gothed because it protected her by making her look scary to others. However, the butterfly is taking this to a different level. It's a great symbol in the sense of coming out of a cocoon, but if that was what it was meant to be, why didn't she get it put on a shoulder blade or a hip instead?
But I see it a lot with kids I work with or know in my area. It's fun when in school to get into the piercing and tattoo fads, schools don't discourage it ( our local high school won't let you wear a hoodie, but oi the piercings and hair colors!) then they want jobs in fields where it isn't either allowed or it could be your make or break. Suddenly the weird hair colors stop, the piercing go away and they are doing whatever to cover the tattoos for interviews and in their dress, or the go thru the whole removal process. It's funny that the tatto parlors near me have been closing lately, but doctors in the area are reporting a sharp uptick in tattoo removal!
One thing that hit me last night with the whole adoption thing, the girls and Lenin use to spend so much time at the home, had made friends with the girls, etc and suddenly none are there now for them it seems. Sort of sad. Those girls loved listening to Lenin read.
Daisynjay
As for the girls at the charity house, I can see Fanny persuading Leon to help them by giving them art lessons. While he has less time on his hands than Lenin did it could be a weekly thing. Not to mention that if Leon could negotiate a half-day off per week for this with his future father-in-law, it would make the company look good.
UA, great idea.
I can also see Bruno and Fernando taking Leon to the hospital to give the kids their own profile illustrations or quick caricatures (like we find in malls or amusement parks)
it would put a smile on their faces and give Leon and Fernando time to spend together on common interests outside the office.
I didn't have the time to watch, but your screen-shots did the trick.
Daisy, I'm with you on Nando and his women : I hope they both dump him for being so fickle and, you know, only 17.
So how many kids will Fernando have when the new baby comes? 9? What if Ana has twins? How rich is this guy, anyway? They definitely need a bigger house now. Alicia needs to have her own room and Seb will need the same pretty soon.
About the twins: I feel like they could have used them better than just making them the pranksters. All the other kids had sole sort of storyline, but the twins were just part of the background. It would have been fun to see them not be totally in sync over some issue or have them switch places at some point.
I guess now it's too late and we did have too many kids to keep track of.
Ana's room is now vacant because she is in the master bedroom.
There are 10 bedrooms for "upstairs" occupants, so they can be distributed thusly:
1: Ana and Fernando
2: Fanny (soon to move out), then Alicia
3: Nando (who will probably go to a local college)
4: Sebastian
5: The twins
6: Luz
7: Nursery (DN and future hermanito)
8, 9, and 10 are now vacant. One or two should be guest rooms.
I'm guessing that Ana will have twins -- or more -- because it will be making up for lost time for her. If that is the case she will need a nanny because all these kids will be more than she can handle alone.
And what if Manuela gets pregnant?
Next question: What happened to Diego's apartment? I don't recall anything about him selling or subletting it. And if Dorofeo owns that building, shouldn't it be among seized assets when he got arrested? If that's the case and these things take time to happen in DF, Diego can move in with Fernando until he finds another place while Jezebela has nowhere to go.
and yes, i see Bruno and Manuela getting a single room and Ana bringing in someone to help with the little ones at least during the day when Fernando and the other ones that could help (Nando, Alicia, Luz, etc) are not there.
If Soledad stays permanently she will happily help out, but can she handle all these kids? That leaves two vacant rooms unless they do get a new nanny.
Ana would have very serious requirements for someone like that.
I am a huge fan of Jarocha traditional-style dress and music from Veracruz. We knew that Manuela was from Veracruz, where she fled and Bruno rescued her from the New Age cult. Don't know if we ever were told that he hailed from there as well.
Will the nanny hire a nanny especially during her pregnancy? If she does don't let any of the Lascurain men (& boys) anywhere near her.
I don't recall Nick's place (where Jen lived with him) being next door to this mansion. I don't remember how far away it was supposed to be.
The inside and the outside of the Lascurain mansion don't seem to match, of course. The outside shots indicate a structure that would have 6 or 8 bedrooms. So why would we have 3 boys sharing a bedroom? This happens on American tv shows too.

The other day I realized that I had a grand total of over 2700 screen grabs over 35 articles. I can't do that again next time; I will have to try to limit it to 30 per article.
But I will wait for a new series. I need a little rest.
Mau has become quite the little ham.
I was a little disturbed about the whole family turning up for Bruno's and Manuela's wedding. They wanted to get married in secret. That should have been respected. Unless they only wanted to do that to spare the family any inconvenience.
I thought Jen got the house in the settlement. Didn't she sell it to have money to give to the charity house?
Our friends on Mount Olympus are still interfering with what's happening here even if I am not chronicling. I will convey their messages from tonight to the end.
There's a writing fail in that because the writers never made anything of it. I'll start my list of things to kvetch about at the end.
as far as Nico, he lives in a house 'by the beach' due to his health issues living near the city... doctor prescribed near ocean so he has a beach house that cannot be any less than an hour's drive from Toluca (where the Lasc mansion is).
They also had the 'malinalco' house in the hills and i think they still have that.
and Nico had bought a house for him and Jen to live when they got married, and I believe that is the house he left for her when he left for Switzerland.
I thought the episode was ho hum too. Always the theatrics every time there is an announcement to be made.
I think that David is planning of offering Aura up for some money. No doubt they will pay. I also think it's too bad they didn't portray Jonny the way he is now from the very beginning. I wouldn't dislike him so much if they did.
Amores Con Trampa, the next novela at 8:00.
The quick synopsis:
Una familia vende una mina al gobierno y deben adaptarse a vivir en la metrópoli.
Sounds a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies. Is this a comedy?
I saw those previews too for the next show and was totally turned off. I know this won't make me popular, but not a huge Yanez fan and I get the impression there will be just what was said, sort of Beverly hillbillies vibe to this next one. I don't watch as many comedies, it was Silvia and Jorge pulled me into this one. I'll stick with the fabulous Sombra.
Daisynjay
I am getting a big yawn vibe from the replacement show starring Big Ed Yanyez. (I got no tilda). Anybody know what is airing in that 8:00 PM slot on Telemundo? Apologies if someone has already asked this.
J in Oregon
And... he's 25 years older than she is. That is just not right.
I was not a fan of the Beverly Hillbillies and didn't care much for UFCS (except for Popeye and Abejita). I'll take a look, but that's it. I will try to catch up to Sombra, though. I refuse to be without novelas just as I can't be without opera!

-Don Fernando fails to use protection with Isabela and then marries her with out protection. He then marries her out of obligation while in "love" with another woman. He then breaks up with her and sleeps with Ana with out using protection.
-Don Nicolas marries a waitress that works in a night club. He then dumps her because her realizes he is too old and gross for her.
-Nando goes back and forth between women. At first he is with Ximena. She then leaves to seek treatment for her disorder. Edith swoops in and puts her claws into Nando. Nando now has no idea who he wants.
-Fanny breaks Lenin's heart as she toys around with him. She has no idea what she really wants.
-Alicia has snuck out of the house countless times. Her punishments never stick. She always gets out of it one way or another.
-The twins play pranks on anyone and everyone including vulnerable pregnant women. Fernando does not discipline them the way he should.
-Luz is the most adorable little girl ever and she knows it and unfortunately uses her charm to sleep in Ana's bed whenever she wants as well as getting whatever she wants.
They are one messed up and dysfunctional family.
1. Fernando was caught off-guard and made a misguided decision.
2. Nick was sinking into depression because of his brush with death (which he only knows the half of even now).
3. Nando is 17! You can't expect him to understand this perfectly.
4. Fanny does not intentionally break Lenin's heart and even though she's two years older than Nando she doesn't know enough about this sort of relationship to know what she really should have done.
5. Alicia's behavior is normal for her age.
6. There was nothing vulnerable about Hissabela.
7. Luz does what works for her to get attention and it doesn't hurt anyone else.
I agree that these children need stronger discipline and better boundaries than they're getting, but they are not mean-spirited. They love each other and stick up for each other. They love their parents and respect most other adults and they're all good in school. Most people in the world would want their children to be like them.
There is love in that family and anyone who comes from a family that had none would sell their souls for that.
Sort of? The first time I saw the preview the Bev Hillbillies immediately came to mind! The concept is intriguing, but only if done right and I have not been able to use "right" and Televisa in the sentence. Even the original series got boring after a while.
"Africa Zavala is HOTTTTTT!!!"
Two TYLENOLs should fix that ;-)
I really hope they don't go the "buy the baby" route. I also hope they don't make the baby-daddy "disappear" by killing him off. This story went all wrong and I don't see any of the novella people wanting to fix this mess.
There is also the idea that Jenny had about buying Ana's share of the house where she and Johnny live. That just seemed to disappear, although I suspected that if they proposed this to Ana she would probably give them the house.
Zerobela just got boring. No more need to plow that story through. She should just meet some handsome hunk and forget all about the Lascurains. Unfortunately I am sure that she will end up fat, did anyone see Dodgeball, an Underdog Story?
I am not a robot, I am a meat Popsicle.
Amores Verdaderos again? Did not work for me.
I'm really liking QTPD.. The acting is superb, and the writing is just far enough away from AMF to make the story interesting and with the added benefit that one isn't sure where the storyline will go. This early in the game, I think Angelli Nesma Medina is again turning out a good product with a gorgeous backdrop. I just hope she doesn't extend this novela to infinity.
It seems to be moving at a more rapid pace than AMF. Rebecca Jones is sooooo much better than Victoria Ruffo, and Sergio Goyri is doing a great job as the sleezebag, douchbag, corrupt, menacing, pedophile, rapist that César Évora played in AMF, with the added bonus that SG isn't nearly as good looking as CE. It's just hard to imagine so many women falling head over heels for SG. He wears great cowboy hats but that's about the only interesting thing about him.
Anyhow, I'm liking QTPD,and have no interest in watching another comedy, especially one that pairs AZ and EY with their 25 some odd year age difference. Unfortunately it seems that not many people are on board.
I think the Lascurain kids are something to be proud of.
