Mi Corazon es Tuyo #47 Tues 23 Sep 2014... Ana and Fer in another 'almost kiss' scene, this time with a witness... Betty gets a big letdown courtesy of Ricky... Isa gotta know who is her baby daddy, Isa and Fer play truth or dare

sorry this is late, was sick all day yesterday...

Refritos:


YoMama and Fer make amends

Diego, Ana, Nando and Ximena at club and out on the sidewalk… ‘tacos de lengua’ with Xime very excited that Nando defended her…

Nico, Jen… I love you… I know.

Lo Nuevo:

Bruno flattered that Manuela was mad at YoMama for what she made him do and Manuela ready to beat up YoMama… YoMama caught the last of this and threatens Manuela ‘you don’t know who you are messing with’… Manuela answers in kind.

Ximena invites herself for sleepover in Fanny’s room, Fanny tells her she can forgive Leon but can’t go back with him. Fer comes in to check on Fanny and repeats to her that he loves her.

Betty visits Ricky, they get into chaka chaka… FF>>

Fer knocks on Ana’s room but she does not answer the door in time.

Isa finds the twins in her bed… runs to get Fernando and fakes being delighted about it …

Ana goes to kitchen for a tea. Fernando finds her there, he is in his pj’s. She ALMOST tells him the details about the bad guys at the club, but stops herself. Then she tells him about Tamara’s accident with the kid and that Fanny was there to support Leon. Fernando is sad to hear what happened.

Isa in bed mistakes one of the twins with Fer. She gets sick about it and gets up to go find Fernando. She peeks through some square hole from hallway to kitchen… watches as Fer and Ana have the same conversation of usual ‘you do so much for the kids… you love them… don’t know what we would do without you’. / ‘don’t know what I would do without you all’. He holds her hand and they are AGAIN about to kiss…. Isa has witnessed all this through the square window… Ana notices there is ‘someone in the window’. Fer goes out to look, Isa runs and hides… He doesn’t find anyone… Ana cuts their midnite meeting short… when she walks out, she can smell Isa’s perfume. (que asco! … yuck!)

Isa watches Fer still in kitchen deep in thought… she probably wishes he could think those thoughts about her.

Nico in library working himself paranoic… meanwhile Jennifer has a nightmare that she had a baby, Nico brings the baby to her in a blanket… only to find that there is no baby in blanket. She wakes up screaming. Johny comes in to check on her, gives her a hug.

Next morning, Ana is very nervous, knocks on Fernando’s door saying she can’t find the twins. They’re here. Isa tries to wake up one of the twins, calling him ‘Guille’ only to be corrected by Ana ‘that’s Alex!’. Ana pulls the twins off the bed, (Isa is a bit miffed that Ana could be rough with them) and gets them out of the room. Isa tells Fer ‘there’s no need for Ana to sleep in this house… or is there?’ Fer does not understand why it bothers her. ‘It’s just not necessary. She could come in the morning and get the kids ready.’ Fernando rebuttes ‘so it DOES bother you!’ ..Isa insists… Fer again gives in ‘why don’t we talk to her then?’

Breakfast in kitchen with the usual clan + Ximena… Bruno makes sort of a PSA for drinking milk with the whole family… ‘arriba! Abajo! Al centro! Y pa’ dentro!’ Ximena is delighted to have breakfast with such a big family. She is usually alone at home. The little kids put Nando on the spot to ask Ximena to be his girlfriend… Alicia shows them some ‘prospect’ gowns for her quinceanera from a magazine. They’re all black! Sebastian again teases her, will make a poster that says ‘traitor!’ Ana comes in and reminds the kids that they need to do their mid-breakfast routine. Everyone gets up and does a train dance in the middle of the kitchen area.

Fer and Isa get on a truth or dare sort of game in their room.

I: Here is my truth… I love you… do you love me?

F: I never lied to you in any way.

I: You still love Ana and I am still waiting for you to love me.

F: Ana and I are over.

I: Really?? Really?? What was THAT I saw last night?? (she sarcastically repeats his words to Ana) I don’t know what we would do without you… Ana sleeps just a few meters away… Want to continue with the truths??

Downstairs, Diego comes down, tells Ana he will skip his morning run, have an appointment to see an apartment to move to. Ana sad to hear this…

At Ricky’s, he is singing opera … Betty wakes up and he is about to leave for work… you just go away… Betty really sad .. asks him if what happened last night means nothing to him… he basically says yes.

Later Ricky is setting things up at his office, Betty comes in and asks what it is she did for him to treat her like this. Before he has to answer, here comes Fanny. Betty leaves very devastated. Fanny notices this. She asks Ricky about Betty, he replies ‘you can never build your expectations too high from anyone’. (or stte)

Diego is at Fernando’s office at La Costena to announce to him he is moving out today, found a place. Fer asks if he will continue traveling as photographer… Diego says no… giving it all up… yup, for Ana. Fer doesn’t want to talk about Ana. Ok, see ya. On his way out Diego runs into Johny who invites him to his show tonight, gives him a promo post card about it.

Betty comes in Fernando’s office, he notices she is upset, asks her what is going on.

At the house, Ana and Bruno talk. She encourages him to pursue Manuela… Ana gets a call from Jennifer, Jennifer tells her about her nightmare, Ana gives her some encouragement over phone. Can always adopt. Then they talk about the plans they all used to have about building families… We will have that… are you ready for today? Jenny responds Yes, but not sure yet what it is all about.

Fanny gets call from Leon, wanted to let her know Mau is out of the hospital. Then Leon promises Mau we will do a lot of things together… Mau asks if mommy will be there too. Leon promises him someday we will see her again.

Diego shows Ana the promo card for Johnny’s show. She is surprised Johnny did not tell her first. She tells Diego Johnny and Fer at one time fought for her. Diego says he can understand… btw, you’re pretty.

Isa is at her OBGYN doctor… she warns Doctor her husband must not know about this. Doctor starts seeing red. Want to know who is my baby daddy. Doctor reluctant… she has to wait a few weeks more and there is a risk for both her and the baby with the test.

Fernando still talking to Betty, notices something is wrong. If I can help in any way… she says there are great men like you and there are jerks (Patan), she had not seen this guy in a while and was hoping they could take it where they had left it off… silly me.

Isa calls Rick from car, tells him that she does want to know who is her baby daddy. She wants to see him, I think they agree to meet at the house later. He is with Fanny so he lies to her as to who is on phone. He and Fanny get talking about keeping secrets… seems he is really interested in her personal life (Yikes!) He invites her to lunch.

Fer gives permission for Ricky and Fanny to go to lunch. Betty watches them leave, still very sad.

Ricky questions Fanny about the phone calls she has been getting while with him. You fought with your boyfriend. He gives the excuse he likes to know who he works with.

Isa gets home to YoMama and tells her that she was at doctor and why… there’s something you don’t know… ready for it?? Ready for it?? Here it goes… Isa tells YoMama about her history with Rick going back to studying together at Harvard. They are still seeing each other… you know… chaka chaka… and he could be the daddy… YoMama just brings her hands to face ‘No!... No!’..

Previews: Isa still taking risky meetings with Ricky… but they could be discovered… (seems Diego caught a glimpse of something)

Comments:
Great work, Marta. This episode was quite revelatory.

Will be back later with comments; need to take care of some things first.
 

Marta, first of all, I hope you are feeling better. Next, thank you for a wonderful recap. Your title was a mini-recap in itself!

Sort of like a bad day all around except for Diego and the kids.

Nico has to stop dragging his butt and just propose already. He is getting annoying.

Loved the scenes with the twins and Isabela all together in bed and Isabela spying on Ana and Fernando in the kitchen.

Betty confirmed what we already knew: Enrique is a first class jerk. It was creepy watching him starting to manipulate Fanny like convincing her she did not have to leave the office to talk on her phone and then going out to lunch. This is going to be bad.

Fernando had an especially bad day hearing the truth from Isabela and Diego and knowing he caused it all himself.

And then Yolanda realizing it all could be gone very soon depending on who the father is.

Jarifa




 

Marta, sorry you were ill and hope you are feeling much better today. Thank you for gifting us with this fantastic recap despite being sick.

I so enjoy the insightful way you fill in all the details with your special brand of snark: "They are still seeing each other… you know… chaka chaka… and he could be the daddy… YoMama just brings her hands to face ‘No!... No!’..".

Enrique seems stone cold. I doubt he changed overnight. Did Betty really think he had feelings for her? He didn't seem to hesitate to tell her that is not the case I feel very sorry for her, especially as he has now set his sights on Fanny. I hope she speaks up when she sees what is happening.

Wish Diego were not moving out. Ana is losing a valuable ally, one who is immune to Isa's position in the house. She will be more vulnerable than ever.

"Fernando had an especially bad day hearing the truth from Isabela and Diego and knowing he caused it all himself". Well said Jarifa! And so very true.

"Fanny tells her she can forgive Leon but can’t go back with him" –music to my ears! No way do I want her back with Leon. Of course, now she will likely fall prey to Enrique and his nefarious plans. The girl deserves a break.

I'm also getting tired of Nico's dragging his feet. Get moving man.

Diana
 

Marta,

Thanks so much for this marvelous, witty recap, particularly when you were not feeling great. You hit the high points with gusto.

I had a feeling that Yo-mama knew nothing about Enrique, who is quite an aggressive fellow. I feel so sorry for Fanny, who is a sweet and good young women and does not deserve the manipulation he has in store for her. Leon will begin to look like a hero to viewerville again, I bet.

I love Ana's song and dance with the kids. It is beyond adorable. They say that adult actors hate to work with kids because they steal every scene. These adult actors, especially Silvia, Jorge and Rene seem to enjoy working with the kids -- or at least so it seems. (That's why they call it acting!)

Betty and Johnny? anything to get him away from Jenny and move Nico along. I fear that the engagement party is going to turn out to be a fracaso -- like most novela parties!

Looks like Ximena needs to move in and enjoy the familial atmosphere. Perhaps then she could forget about our Nando.





 

Wonderful recap!

Agree with Jarifa, Enrique is a terrible womanizer and manipulator. Fear for poor Fanny.

Diego catching Isa leaving Enrique's will be awesome so at least someone is on to her double life but Fer won't believe anything out of Diego's mouth. He'll assume it is just venganza!
 

Awesome Marta. Hope you feel better.

Wow, Icky Ricky is a playa, what a shock and on Isabela's recommendation Fernando allows the fox into the henhouse. Despite not being in love with her he does trust her unequivocally.

Guess for propriety's sake Fernando is about to run Ana out of the house overnight, right into the arms of his bro.

While I want Fernando and Ana together it makes me angry he continues to get all up in her face as if the marriage changed nothing.

Yolanda - gawd girl, can't you keep your legs together

Ricky - not a woman on the planet don't want some of this

Juan - you're joking, right?

Fernando - roll over, play dead, fetch, that's a good boy

Diego - gettin my own pad, woo hoo, par tee

Isabela - been trying to nail him down for years

Manuela - go ahead, you can have that beach ball

Ximena - can I play with ya'll

Ana - I smell a skunk

 

As I watched the previews for tonight and saw Diego, I wondered if it is in his best interest to tell Fernando about Isabela's indiscretion (assuming he knows definitively), opening the way for an Ana & Fernando reunion. It would be best to keep that little tidbit to himself.
 

Wow, really, Betty? What is it with some women in tns (well, come to think of it, also in real life) that they fail to see the obvious right in front of their faces? At no time in any of their encounters did it seem to me that Enrique was into Betty. At all. Zip. Zero. Nada. Even on the first day they saw each other when her greeting to him was so over the top, his response was lukewarm at best. And at his apartment, she practically attacked him. He didn't fight back, sure and participated, why not? She served herself on a platter to him, after all. There wasn't much conversation. No "I've missed you" no "I've missed US" no "I still think of you." Nothing!

Why is she so hurt and surprised! Makes me wonder if him being her "ex" as she told Fernando is all in her mind. Enrique probably enjoyed himself with her from time to time in the past without a word of real love for her and she totally built up their relationship in her head. Which would explain his casual way of treating her and her "my boyfriend's back" attitude.

Pobrecita.
 

Pobrecita: I was actually glad Enrique screwed Betty over as now she won't be helping him with whatever plan he has in mind. She also may be able to watch out and warn Fanny and Fer.
 

OT: There's a new show coming out on, I believe CBS, called Jane the Virgin based on a novela from Venezuela. For me, the fun part is going to be seeing the fictional novela her family watches. It's supposed to be a big part of the show.
 

nanette, yes, it is based on Juana la Virgen the novela.
dont know much more though.

Tofie, your lines today were brilliant!!
Fernando - roll over, play dead, fetch, that's a good boy

Diego - gettin my own pad, woo hoo, par tee

Isabela - been trying to nail him down for years

Manuela - go ahead, you can have that beach ball

Ximena - can I play with ya'll

Ana - I smell a skunk



 

Thanks, Marta! I hope you're resting up and feeling better. You went above and beyond to give us the scoop!

Yoiks. Betty seems even more naive than Fanny. How could she have thought Baba Surto the Slimy Deadweight was that into her? I'm glad she isn't on his side anymore, though, and that she noticed his attentions to Fanny! I hope she'll warn Fanny and Fer before he manages to do the Fandango.

This situation with Fanny and Slimeball seems like a classic cautionary tale of a woman being manipulated into supressing her self-protective instincts. I want to send Fanny a copy of The Gift of Fear. She's definitely picking up on Enfrique's skeeviness, but he's her boss, and her dad seems to approve of him and want them to work together, so she's telling herself it's okay.

I hope the show will zag where it looks like it's going to zig, and Fanny will stand up to Reeky before he gets her into a dangerous and horrible situation.

Ana can distinguish between Thing One and Thing Two! Loved that. Also love how the kids are keeping Isa from getting any action...well, with her husband at least.

I've been wondering about those little windows between the kitchen and the hall for awhile. Now we see why they are there.

Fed up with Isa whining about Fer not loving her. She knew he didn't love her. He should be straight that this is not likely ever going to change. Love wasn't part of the package.

Did not like the way Leon told Mau that they will see his mama again. I know he was trying to comfort him, and I see how belief in an afterlife can be comforting, but I think Mau is too young to understand that if this does happen, it is a LONG, LONG TIME away. Poor kid will probably keep expecting his mama to show up at any moment for quite awhile.
 

It was funny when Luz was disappointed that Ximena slept in Fanny's room instead of Nando's (and Nando was so embarrassed). How many sleepovers will it be until she's sneaking into Nando's room? And will Fer have a problem with this, the way he freaked out about Fanny staying out with Leon all night because it's a bad example for the little kids?
 

I think its funny how upset Isabruja is that Fer doesnt love her. I think it has more to do with " I cant believe not every man is in love with me" than " I love him and want him to love me too". I think Enrique struggles from this same affliction.

Fanny is a strong girl and speaks her mind. I think Enrique knows this and thats why he spoke of her as a long term project. But Isa recommended her so I think they both have a plan to get at Fanny.
 

Marta: thanks for the excellent recap and feel better soon.

I hope Betty doesn't turn into a Maria (DQTQ2) and cause probs for Fan.

Isa has a point about Ana. Fer married her to give the baby a stable family. That includes at least trying to love baby's mother. Ideally, Ana should have been let go--but there would have been a mutiny. Isa can claim that Fer will never be able to give love a chance with her with Ana constantly around. So Isa asking that she not sleep there is a reasonable request that, under the circumstances, Fer can't ignore. Before anyone gets steamed, let me say this is all on the surface and using Fer's reasoning for marrying Isa. We know things about Isa that Fer doesn't.

Nanette
 

Well done Marta!! I so needed a good laugh and diversion today at work, and this was wonderful! Just the perfect break.

Lot of little tidbits thrown out last night that I think will be interesting for events to come.

Betty, firstly, needs to get a grip. You see someone you dated how long ago and think you would pick up right where you left off? (And I do wonder about the left off because apparently he was having some IsaBrew on the side too. Man, who knew Harvard was such a jumpin' social place?) Yes, now will she be a foil, sure, but that whole disappointment thing bugged me. Next time try having coffee or lunch and catch up to see if the guy has changed or not? Gees...

Hate that Diego is moving out, but frankly at this point, I want Ana out too. I think she can explain to Luz that she will still be there during the day and put her to sleep. Those late night encounters with Fer--- HATE THEM. I'm in agreement that Fer constantly being gushy and moving in for the kill is disrespectful to Anna.What is he expecting from her--her undying devotion to make him feel better? Wow, ego much?

I see the disaster with Alicia already. She's looking at dresses someone in their late teens or older would wear, and guesses Isa would let her buy one. Ana is going for something probably a little less tween for the 21st century, so guess who will be hurt? The side result of that is that I think Luz would be heartbroken too.

I'm so hoping Fanny is seeing red flags with her new boss. No way does she owe him telling her what is happening in her personal life. Please go talk to Ana. And this is a TN - never say never.

Daisynjay
 

Nanette: ITA. Isa's reasons for wanting Ana out are legit. If Isa was not a bruja, I would feel for her situation.
 

True. Superficially, definitely legit reasons. If we didn't know that Isa was a lying manipulative bruja who tricked Fer into marrying her with a baby that may not be his, knowing that he didn't want to marry her otherwise, didn't love her, and did love Ana, I would be on Isa's side in this battle.
 

I want Ana to go with Diego when Fer and Isa throw her out and make out with him all night instead of angstily almost-kissing Fer. So much more satisfying all around!

And then Fer can take to sleeping in Ana's empty room to get away from his wife, and, in true weirdo telenovela fashion, snuggle up with a shirt she left behind and sniff it all night, so Isa still won't get any and will be tortured by Fer's love for Ana but Ana herself won't have to be there to experience it.
 

“Narcissus wasn't this bad,” said Aphrodite. “He never used people like this.” She took a sip of nectar. “Of course, he didn't live long enough to think of it.”

“Talk about projection,” said Athena. “Do you know what that song means? He was singing about the fickleness of women when he's the one who can't keep it in his pants.”

“I think he's a sociopath,” said Hera. “No sense of empathy and no decency either.”

“We have to protect Fanny,” said Aphrodite. “I need to figure out who will do that.”

“It should be her father,” said Hera. “Except that he needs protection from Hissabela.”

“Yes. Alas, he is no Odysseus,” said Athena.

“True,” said Aphrodite. “But maybe Nick or Diego is.”

 

I want Ana out at night and I want to watch Fernando when he tells her. I'm sick of Fernando's come ons, sick of the bad example he is setting for his kids (marrying a woman he does not love and in love with & lusting for another right under their noses) and sick of his jealous snorting because of his brother. He preaches about consequences, well, here you go.

ITA, that it disrespectful to his wife to house the woman he is in love with just a few steps from their bedroom. He fancies himself a honest, forthright gentleman and he clearly is not. He's an egomaniacal prude with a bad temper.

 

Did anyone else notice the all the suggestive artwork in Enfrique's place? Okay, we get it! He's a cad!
 

Thank you, Marta, for your witty recap!

Julia - You bring up a good point about whether or not Fer would object to Xime sleeping in Nando's room. I suspect Fer, the double-minded man, would display some of his famous double standards: 'It's OK for Nando and me to spend the night with our lady friends, but it's not OK for Fanny to stay with Leon.'

Urban/Athena - What song was Enfrique Baba Surto singing? He's slime, but he did have a surprisingly nice voice.

Poor Betty. Well, at least she can spit in Enfrique's coffee before delivering it to him each morning.
 

Was he singing La Donna E Mobile? I wasn't really paying attention because I was looking at the artwork.
 

Thanks UA for channeling in our resident goddesses...always enjoy their take on things.

And Julia-- lord, did you ever conjure up an image for me with that sniffing line. I immediately harkened back to Cuando when Lisardo was always taking severe sniffs of Silvia's hair. clothes, whatever... That use to just crack us up. Funny we can get a twist on that tale and have Fer be the sordid sniffer...except he would have to take to wearing wind breakers. Lord, I loved Cuando!!

And yes!! I want to see Ana and Diego together. She deserves some fun and appreciation until the writers force her back to Fer. Right now, I'm not on the front lines rooting for that happening any time soon. Fer may be starting to move in the right direction with his kids, but he's clueless in how to handle his marriage and Ana. And yes, I was actually agreeing with Isa's point last night. He's blinded to what's she'e really like, so from her viewpoint, she had a good point. Mr. EgoMuch wants his cake and eat it too. I think Fer needs to "fall" a bit and get a major wake-up call before he truly appreciates and understands his kids and people. Lot more than just constantly telling people you love them. Actions and example man!

Daisynjay
 

Julia, yes he was. i just did not know the name of the song. but that was it..


 

Thanks for your recap Marta!

I'm with tofie and sick of Fer wanting to have both Isa and Ana. As Daisynjay said, it just shows his ego and self-centeredness and some how tn writers think its cute. Blech!

Sorry for what happened to Betty but have to agree with you all and wonder what she "thought" she had with Icky Ricky.
 

Marta, sorry you were not feeling well. I hope you feel better now.
 


Julia, there was a scene in Corazon Salvaje '93 where Monica sniffs Juan's shirt(at the moment she believes he betrayed her with her own sister and they died trying to flee together)... lovely scene... not in bad taste at all.



DaisynJay and tofie,
ITA with I think Fer needs to "fall" a bit and get a major wake-up call before he truly appreciates and understands his kids and people.

sick of the bad example he is setting for his kids (marrying a woman he does not love and in love with & lusting for another right under their noses) and sick of his jealous snorting because of his brother. He preaches about consequences, well, here you go.

He fancies himself a honest, forthright gentleman and he clearly is not. He's an egomaniacal prude with a bad temper.


Carvivlie...
about:
I think its funny how upset Isabruja is that Fer doesnt love her. I think it has more to do with " I cant believe not every man is in love with me" than " I love him and want him to love me too".
ITA, remember when she came back home after Fernando turned down her proposal?? she asked herself 'when am I going to get married??'
but Reeky is the other way... he probably has been with several women who would like to have a more long term relationship with him but he either had a let down early on (possibly Fanny Sr?) and is resentful of women in general now, or has never been a long term commitment guy.
 

thanks everyone for the get well wishes. I feel MUCH better now.
 

Icky Ricky... perfect! have to remember that one.
 

DaisynJay, also with you on...
And yes!! I want to see Ana and Diego together. She deserves some fun and appreciation until the writers force her back to Fer. I want Ana to smile more... but I can see her hessitation, don't want to hurt Diego if she won't be putting in 100% into the relationship.
 

That is "La donna e mobile" from Verdi's Rigoletto. Here it is with subtitles at one minute in.

The whole opera is here.
 

Is anyone recapping tonight? If not, I can do a short bullet-points recap, but I won't have time to do a lot of bells and whistles.
 

I can do a recap, Julia, once i get home and watch the ep... would not be up until after midnite.

 

Thanks, Urban, for the link! Enfrique had a good voice, but his cannot compare to Pavarotti's!
 

God, no.

As for that opera, I have that one on DVD and two other versions. One with Placido Domingo and Cornell MacNeil and the other with Piotr Bezala and Zelko Lucic. That one is set in Las Vegas in 1960 and has a "Rat Pack" theme. Controversial, but it works very well.
 

Marta that was a great recap! I loved the suspense you built up when Bruja Menor was telling Bruja Sr. about IkyRicky possibly being the baby's daddy. That was great,!
Ok, both Betty and Isabruja went to Harvard but aren't savy enough to either know a cad when one sees one (Betty) or be self sufficient enough not to have to marry for money and social status (Isa). Not to mention Isa's stupidity about spending money she doesn't have.
I just don't like Lizard and nothing will change my mind.

I think respect has to be earned and Isa has done nothing to earn anyone's respect, and just having Fer's baby does not entitle her to his respect.


 

I don't think Harvard Business School would appreciate this depiction of their alumni.
 

I mean, they're probably used to being a launchpad for sleazebags and criminals. But IDIOTS?!
 

These people are more like Tres Semestres en Anahuac.
 

Julia I don't know what or where Anahuac is. That one flew completely by me! But I definitely don't like how the writers are portraying alot if typical stereotypes in this novela which includes intelligent woman with no self esteem or types like Isabruja, Harvard included.
 

Anáhuac is a university in México, but that isn't the point. In La Fea Más Bella, there was a ditzy secretary character who was always going on about how she was so smart and had studied finance for three semesters at Anáhuac.
 

Julia,

Thanks for the clarification. I received an Econ degree from the University of the Americas in Puebla, Mexico in the mid-70s before receiving my Civil Eng degree in NC in the mid-80s.

There were many hundred or so women in college with me in Puebla (for all business degrees) but only 20 women of about three to five hundred CE students in NC (only four of us made it through).

For that period of time, I was so proud that so many Latin American women were with me in college to help further the women's movement in LA and bash typical macho attitudes. Not that I was a card carrying women's liberal or anything!

So I guess I find some of the story lines in this novela more troubling than other novelas. That probably doesn't make much sense.
 

I agree with you. I don't like the portrayal of these women who are supposedly smart as so naive and desperate and with such low self-esteem. I mean, a person can certainly be smart in some ways and not in others, but sometimes it feels like certain telenovela writers have a low opinion of women in general, when they make so many of the women characters that way.
 

Vickie and Julia - ITA with you about the embarrassing portrayal of these women: Isabruja and Betty! Are all tn writers male? And do they really think beautiful, brilliant women who go to Harvard really NEED a man so much they would resort to seduction and unplanned pregnancy?!?! Get over yourselves, Male TN Writers!!!
 

Tofie:

Forgot to say how much I loved your lines!
 

Sorry to be so late, but that was a great recap, Marta. Hope you're feeling better. It inspired some excellent comments, including another visit from the goddesses (thanks, Urban).
