Santa Lucía is a small town where everyone knows each other and rumors spread like wildfire. Here live two families and over the years they have had many differences and accumulated resentments.
Our tale begins at the hacienda Las Ánimas where the baptism of Cristóbal (Pablo Lyle...eventually), the first born of Severiano Mendoza (Alexis Ayala) and his wife Candela (Alejandra Barros) is being celebrated. The family is rich, powerful and respected in Santa Lucía and the entire town is present for the party.
That same day Raymundo and Roberta Alcocer (René Strickler and Susana González) are celebrating the baptism of their little daughter Aldonza (Michelle Renaud...eventually) at the local church. Raymundo is very hardworking, but with a strong character and Roberta, his wife, is a rude and tasteless woman. She is resentful. She's also Severiano's lover.
One day Raymundo discovers his wife and Severiano together making love. Furious, he beats Severiano within an inch of his life. Roberta in the midst of this chaos kills her own husband, saving the life of her lover.
From that moment on, the relationship between Severiano and Roberta gets complicated, creating a deep hate between the two. Aldonza and Cristobal grow up in a world of rancor without knowing the real reason for the hatred between the two families.
The two young people, despite the disapproval of the families, try to build their love. But Severiano, the most respected man of the town, in a most cowardly and low way makes Roberta, her sister Adelina (Lisset) and Aldonza flee from Santa Lucia with no explanation, breaking Cristobal's heart.
Years later, Aldonza returns with her Aunt Adelina to Santa Lucia as an agronomist and finds out that Cristobal has married with his cousin Valeria (Thelma Madrigal)
La Sombra del Pasado,is a drama produced by Mapat that will capture you with its intense story, agile narrative and great acting in the beautiful locations of Verazruz, Puebla and the state of Mexico.

Well, I'm in. Staying on Wednesdays, probably. Looks like it should have plenty of nookie going on ;)
sinopsis sounds like this is a remake of Canaveral de Pasiones / El Manantial, both of these were great versions. sorry, i can't commit to recapping a show this early. But the story is great.
If you guys ever need a back-up recapper for Tuesdays or straight-up recapper for that day, you got me.
I like this show quite a bit.I admit i could not resist watching it ahead and it has quite a talented cast i must say.Looking forward to see the recaps !
CorazonSalvaje - As far as I know Tuesdays are free! If you want them, be sure to email the blog mom.
Thanks for the early review, Countx!
The cast looks really good to me. It's not mentioned in the post, but Cynthia Klitbo is in this. I've said before that I will watch her file her nails.
And honestly I'm kind of secretly pleased it's a little dark. Does that make me a sick puppy?
Oh! And Pablo Lyle!

Thank you so much for the precap.
I am so excited! Susana Gonzales is back! My fave.
I'm really looking forward to being part of the 7:00 community again, especially since Kat and Sara will still be recapping.
I loved La Malquerida and am happy to have this to look forward to.
I have never seen Pablo Lyle but from what you are saying Sara, he bears watching.

I have to admit I'm pretty 12 year old squealy excited about this one, but that might be the Gata influence (the writers seem to think the viewers are 12.)
I've liked Pablo since UFCS and that's saying something because he was pretty naco-d up in that one.
Interesting that he will be (for a while) paired with Thelma Madrigal. They were an item in PSMA...even if she did sleep (unknowingly) with his dad (who he thought was dead.) Good times.
I love Susana...but I'm a little worried because I think she will be kind of a baddie in this and the last time I saw her as a villain I *reeeeaalllly* hated her. I'll have to get her PSMA and AV roles out of my head.

I like Susana better in the protagonist roles but will happily watch her in anything.
When she is good she is very very good but when she is bad...she is amazing.

I think I'll watch this one. Don't know as much about actors and producers as you guys but it sounds like you respect this crew. I'll see if blog mom will have me!
Its directed by MaPaz Lopez De Zatarain ,the same one which directed mainly Piel de Otono,La Mujer del Vandeval and some more.
Lila- Piel de Otono was great. It starred Laura Flores (protagonista) and Sergio Goyri (although he was a baddie)
Susana always looks gorgeous as a villana. I personally loved her look as Domenica Dalmacci in Para Volver a Amar and she rocked the pink dress in LQNPA. I don't really see her as bad here but self-scorned.
We're in for a treat with Alexis Ayala and Alejandra Barros as Severiano and Candela.

The ten minute trailer is full of spoilers for the first twenty or so episodes, so be careful.

It'll be nice seeing two nice faces as the leads.
I'm looking forward to seeing Alexis Ayala, Alejandra Barros, & Susana Gonzalez.

Thank you Jarocha!!! I will not put up the video then! Have you seen this? I always enjoy your insights.
I'm with you, Mauricio. I do have my favorite actors, but it's fun to see new faces!
Their faces are nice, too.

Thanks for posting Sara! This does look very interesting. Are we sure Uni has committed to having this in the 7pm slot? It sounds intense for 7pm! Lots of fave actors, including all the ones mentioned-- Susana, Alejandra B., Alexis A., Cynthia, and the young actors--- Pablo, Thelma, and Michelle. I've seen Thelma play both a good girl, and a spoiled princess. She's good at both. Will her character here be spoiled or truly bad, I wonder?
I'm going to give this one a try. At least I can watch it the same night it airs.
Because this looks dark-ish, I'm sort of surprised it's on at 7e/6c time, the usual hour for telenovelas suitable for mixed age-group viewing.
I loved Piel de Otoño! And it was on at the same hour, IIRC.
And René Strickler gets killed off early on? Wah.

Yes, the time slot for this is surprising. Diva and I were also hesitant to put the sinopsis up because we remembered the sudden yanking of la Gata at 8 in favor of MCET. But there have been promos with the time slot (as opposed to "Coming soon".) And MPV was kind of dark and they had it on at this time as well.
If they change their minds, I can just take down the post ;-)
doris-I'm glad you'll be joining us!

Can you telenovela experts please explain to me what it usually means when an actor is listed as having a 'special participation' in a telenovela? I have seen this term before when looking at cast lists of past telenovelas or when looking at an actor's telenovela filmography on wikipedia but not for ones I have actually seen so I am unsure. I've wondered for a while & if I had to guess, I would think that maybe it means that an established/well known actor only wanted a small role and didn't want to commit to the full telenovela schedule so he/she made a special appearance but I'm really not sure.
I am specifically asking now because I see that Susana Gonzalez is listed as having 'special participation' in this upcoming Uni TN opposed to just being listed as a regular part of the cast. I think she's fabulous especially when playing someone unhinged/broken/desperate which she looks to be playing here so initially I figured I was in for sure (despite the fact that the last thing I need is to add another tn to my schedule) but now I worry that her role is going to be brief or small (possibly by choice) which is why I'm asking what that term usually means in general.
Thanks for any clarification.

gringo, I'm not sure, but I looked at IMDB and it shows her in about 20 episodes...maybe the "past" ones and then she's not there in the present? Or it's just not fully updated yet.
I agree with Sara--we're as sure as we can be about them following through with putting this show at this time, given their odd handling of the Gata premiere, but if things happen, we'll adjust.

Love me some Pablo Lyle and Susanna Gonzales (along with some other actors here like Cynthia), but I'm not as sure about Michelle Renuad as a lead. I saw her in the beginning of El Color de la Pasion as the younger antagonist Rebeca (I saw it online since it hasn't premiered in the US yet) and I wasn't that impressed. Hopefully she can step it up as Aldonza.

Sorry for answering so late but I can't access the blog at work. I am currently watching this one and Yo No Creo En Los Hombres but only online because I'm arriving home too late from work and unfortunately the titles of the episodes keep spoiling the major happenings of every episode (especially in YNCELH which has lots of surprising twists and turns) so be careful there too if you don't like spoilers.
I like it, I saw parts of El Manantial so I remember certain events but I think the old fans won't be as mad as I was while watching Abismo de Pasión and seeing the storyline from Cañaveral de Pasiones get ruined. At least not yet from the episodes I'm currently watching.
The older generation is great (we've seen their work before so I expected nothing less) and the young ones are ok. Renaud takes a moment to really get into character but I think she settles quite well as the episodes go on. Lyle is a little green but not too bad and he is cute (he's not Mauricio Islas though) and I like the town they are using, it reminds me of my dad's hometown.

Thanks so much Jarocha! I am looking forward to seeing this, but at the same time hoping that at some point they will air YNCELH.
I have never seen La Manantial, so I don't think I'll be disappointed that way.
I am looking forward to the locations, too.

This one sounds better than Que Te Perdone right out of the gate. I may decide to drop QTPD in favor of this one--just to watch with old friends, cozying up to the outdoor fire-pit, waiting for spring on the Patio.
There seems to be something about more recent tns that have to have a multi-year time jump de rigeur with two sets of actors. I like the way Quiero Amarte is handling the back and forth. It takes place in the present, but you know when there is a flashback to the past by the sepia-toned scenes and different sets of actors (well, except for the main lead, who plays her own mother in the flashbacks).
I'm anxious to see if I like Lisset any better here than I did in LQLVMR or Amor Bravio.
Sara and CorazonS--have you abandoned QA? We miss you both.

I hope you do join us, Anita. You always have such interesting comments.
I have to confess that it has been a week or two (or three) since I watched QA. I've lurked and read some comments, but now I'm afraid I'm too far behind. Maybe I'll watch my recording of the latest episode and ask a bunch of questions.
I also confess that I am very shallow and I stopped watching because I really can't stand the sound of Karyme's voice.

I posted a comment and now it isn't anywhere around, gone vanished. Que?
The first time that I saw Susana Gonzales was in La Que No Podia Amar. She rocked my world and has ever since
Protagonist or villain I don't care Susana is super great in all of her roles. She has so much talent that she just can't be tied down to one or the other. Good girl bad girl whatever, Susana rocks them all.
La Sombra Del Passado---You bet the gringo is in.
Diva---20 episodes? PLEASE say it isn't so. Well 20 episodes or 120
If Susana is in the cast, the gringo will have a front row seat
and you can take that to the bank.
I'm counting the days to the start
