Velo de novia
Day: Thursday July 29 2010
Time: 8:00 a.m. Central time
Channel: Telefutura
This Mexican soap opera from 2003 is being re-run on Telefutura weekday mornings in 2-hour blocks. By my reckoning, there should be a scene coming up on Thursday for the lead actress Susana Gonzalez. She gets kidnapped via a nice handgag and is later bound to a mattress spread-eagle and gagged with shiny white tape while the bad guy menaces her with a scalpel.

Record number: 12567

Title: Las Vegas
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Vanessa Marcil

Description: Episode: "Heroes" (4.17)

Note: There some additional scenes in "Junk in the Trunk" (4.16) and "A Hero Ain't Nothing But a Sandwich" (5.1)

This episode of "Las Vegas", the conclusion of a two-part season finale, has one of the best bondage scenes in the history of television, ranking up there with the "Lost Women" episode of "Vega$". Vanessa Marcil, the gorgeous petite brunette, spends amlost the entire episode bound and gagged. She has been kidnapped by a deranged rich man, incapacitated by a sedative in her drink and bound and gagged in a trunk.

To begin with, the scenes in which Ms. Marcil is bound and gagged in the trunk are lit just perfectly by a skilled lighting technician. Despite the crepuscular conditions, visibility is more than adequate, and Ms. Marcil's gag, the strip of duct tape, is perfectly visible. We owe a debt of gratitude to the lighting technician for the series; the man or woman really knows his or her job, and our enjoyment of the episode was enhanced because of this.

Secondly, the keyhole in the trunk is used to great effect; Ms. Marcil peers out of it frequently to see who or what was outside, and the light through the keyhole illuminates her gagged mouth very seductively. Potential rescuers are frequently just outside the trunk, but she is unable to alert them to her predicament, since she is gagged. The scene near the end of the episode when she sees her friend and potential rescuer, the security guy, walking just a few feet away, and attempts to alert him by screaming ineffectually through her gag, is priceless. The dastardly villain has done too good a job of gagging her; she can only manage some barely audible whimpers.

Her energetic struggling and attempts to make noises through her gag are especially enjoyable. She manages to unlock the trunk through energetic jostling, and wriggles out. The manner in which she's bound is original; her hands are tied in front of her with duct tape, but her wrists and forearms are secured to her thighs; this resembles a form of hogtie. I've never seen any actress bound in this manner.

Ms. Marcil manages to remove her gag by rubbing it against the coarse carpeting, make her way over to a telephone, knock it down to the floor, and attempt to make a call, only to have the villain walk in at that precise, inopportune moment. He rushes over to her, ends the call, and then engages in snappy repartee with Ms. Marcil; some of the dialogue is the obligatory admonition "You'll never get away with it."

Housekeeping then knocks on the door; the villain immediately applies a forceful handgag, and tells the dedicated housekeeping staff to return later. Ms. Marcil proceeds to scream as loudly as she can through the hand clamped over her mouth. The villain then gags Ms. Marcil with another strip of duct tape over her mouth.

Ms. Marcil spends nearly the entire episode bound and gagged; this has to be one of the best scenes featuring a bound and gagged actress in the history of television. One advantage for Ms. Marcil is that she certainly didn't have much dialogue to memorize for this episode; most of her lines are, "Mmmmph! Mmmmmph!".
