Caray, Caray!

Thanks for posting this. It's going to be interesting to see what Univision does with these.

I'm still holding out hope for a US airing of Yo no creo en los hombres.
 

Wow I am loving some Ale Barros and Leticia Calderon returns yay!! I wonder what will replace La Sombra , i will miss it so much because I dig almost everything about it!

As for QTD moving back for one hour its quite great news although it wont help much the late watchers but its atleast better than 10ocklock ! The Ivan Sanches novela should be interesting with SS and ( Evil?) Osvaldo de Leon . I hope the writing is good enough to sustain the gorgeous ,im sick and tired of Salvadors Mejia ever since that dreck La Tempestad and i hope he wont f**** it up.

I dont give a little fling for Juan Diego Covarriubias but i might check La Vecina out. As for comedies i never cared for them and i most likely never will .
 

Hopefully the writing will sustain the gorgeous cast *
 

Thank you BlogMom.

I am disappointed in MIVAC's length but if every hour of Que Pobres Tan Ricos was enjoyable, then this can be too. Fiorella might rival Fernanda as Livia Brito's best work.

Uni missed out on doubling up on MCET so it'd end sooner and 4 and 5 would be free time slots (thus YNCELH and ECDLP could play alongside each other.) Then again, even that plan has and had it's flaws.
 

Jane, so happy for the update. I see some of my favorites will be returning. Am looking forward to some happy viewing!
 

Lo Imperdonable is a remake of La Mentira, as was Cuando Me Enamoro ... too bad it's a Mejia production ... and too soon, IMO. Interesting that Grettel Valdez is also in this version. I wonder what part she'll play, but I'm not interested enough to watch a Mejia production, if it comes to Univision at all.

Yeah CME was only a few years ago, right? Seems waaaaay to soon for a remake.
 

I posted this on the old proximas post, but figure I'll add it here as well.
Upcoming on Uni according to wiki:
1. El Color de la Pasion to replace Hasta starting May 11th. YES. I was beginning to think we weren't getting this one!
2. Lo Imperdonable - listed as May 2015. Either one of the prime time novelas is getting bumped to midnight or it's replacing quiero amarte, which is ending in about 2-3 weeks. Probably the latter, considering how badly Tempestad flopped. Can't blame Uni for being gunshy.
 

OOO! I hope they show ECDLP. I have trust issues with Univision. They aren't even saying what will come on after QA (which ends May 8th.)

I'll keep my hopes up...but at the same time I won't hold my breath.
 

I think the Lo Imperdonable is a new take on La Memtira , this seems to be about love and romance more rather than based on the evil mother. But considering La Tempestad was also a new production ,very far from the original novela La Tormenta and it also flopped i dont hold much hopes for a great story , i am only in it for the cast.
Well La Madrastra was also Meija production but it was actually great , will Lo Imperdonable possibly be the miracle he so desperately needs or im just blundering into the unknowns? Perhaps Roberta Alcocer shouldnt have shot Ray , it was a waste of bullets, Meija would be a much better target!
 

Meija huh? I would like to say I'm willing to check out since I like the cast, but dang, Meija?

ok, I'm getting severe La Sombra withdrawal already.

Daisynjay-I am learning to judge a TN by the producer and not the cast. I think that is just a personal preference.

When at all possible, I try to avoid long ones. So, I would be willing to give MIVAC a try, but won't because it's so loooong.
 

Thank you for list of upcoming tn's, I had judt been wondering about future shows. I see one advertised off and on, but it was not mentioned, its called La Esquina de Amor?? Something like that.
 

Thank you for the post and all the updates.

I am loving La Sombra and Amores con trampa but it's nice to know what may be coming down the road.

I am a huge Leticia Calderon fan - one of the best villains in the biz.

Thank you!

All I saw was Ivan Sanchez before I fainted :) but thanks for the rest too :)

- Monday, April 20th will be the 'Gran Estreno' of 'Lo imperdonable', in the HEFDM time-slot (this is a Salvador Mejia production starring Ana Brenda Contreras, Ivan Sanchez, Grettel Valdez, and Sergio Sendel)

Why, why , por que, por que????? Mejia??? I like Ana Brenda & Ivan, but Mejia can destroy the story of "The 3 little pigs"
 

Just to clarify these dates are all for Mexico's broadcasts. They don't reflect US dates.
 

A big parte of the success of Amor en Silencio was the shocking factor of its main storyline so I advice everyone not to read ANYTHING about the original if you want to watch it.

The interesting thing about Lo Imperdonable is that Mejía brought back Mónica Miguel as a director (From Alborada, Pasión, Amor Real) and now he hired Ximena Suárez (Teresa, La Que No Podía Amar, La Malquerida) as head write. It seres seems like he is actually trying to make a good project in spite of this being the 2874749929119x version of La Mentira.

Adding that he chose San Luis Potosí as the setting (gorgeous and almost unseen in Telenovelas) and it makes me want to watch in spite of the Mejía factor.

Hi again, everyone! Thank you for your interest and for your responses to my posting.

I thought I'd shed a little bit more light on these subjects, if I may... solely in the interests of elucidation!

Regarding 'Lo imperdonable', yes (alas) it IS a Mejia production, and from what I can glean it will be more along the lines of 'La mentira' than 'Cuando me enamoro'. There will still be the overall story of a man seeking to avenge his brothers suicide (Pablo Montero, in a role that I'm thinking will be along the lines of Susana Gonzalez's 'Roberta' in 'La sombra del pasado' (and by that I mean 'important, but.... short'), brought on be the actions of the heartless woman he was in love with, but unlike in CME, there will be no villainous mother. Grettel Valdez plays Virginia (the Karla Alvarez role in 'La mentira), the aforementioned soulless viper who plays the role of the innocent, and Ana Brenda (has she dropped the 'Contreras'??) will be the sister- the Kate del Castillo role from 'Mentira' (big shoes to fill!!) The supporting cast consists of Sergio Sendel (who I'm hoping won't be TOO much of a scene-stealing villain... I'm getting tired of him), Osvaldo de Leon (German in 'La Malquerida'), and Sebastian Zurita and Gaby Mellado (the poor, underused Solita in 'Corazon indomable') as the 'young protagonists.

'La vecina' which, in addition to the aforementioned Esmerelda Pimentel and Juan Diego Covarrubias, will also star Luis Gatica, is a remake of the Argentinian 'Solamente vos', which aired in 2013 and had a mind-boggling 233 episodes (which I frankly find terrifying).

TO BE CONTINUED BELOW... I CAN'T FIT EVERYTHING IN IN JUST ONE POST!!!
 

CONTINUED FROM ABOVE... (is there any way I can help these two posts get greater exposure?? I'm worried that the people who commented earlier on in this thread won't realize there is more information here now... but then again, I'm an admitted hopeless neurotic! (lol))

'Amor de barrio', which will be replacing 'Muchacha italiana viene y casarse' down here is a remake of 'Muchacha del barrio' from 1979 and that starred- wait for it- eternal 'nana' and 'first actress' Ana Martin! Production of the novela started around the last week of February this year.

The remake of 'Amor del silencio' is being done by the same guy who did 'En nombre del amor', 'Quiero amarte', amongst others and is going to be called 'El languaje del amor'. There are lots of rumors going on about this one (who is playing whom, who is cast and who isn't, etc.... supposedly 'confirmed' names include Leticia Canderón, Arturo Peniche, Cecilia Gabriela, Alejandra Barros, Marimar Vega, and Alfredo Adame... we'll), which at least means that people are excited about it. And YES!!!! I FULLY agree with Jarocha- a BIG part of 'Amor en silencio' revolved around a shocking, unprecedented event in its main storyline (my personal favorite telenovela writer- Eric Vonn wrote the story (with Liliana Abud) and he is NOTORIOUS for pushing the envelope and writing things much in his own (rather twisted) style, and so, as Jarocha said- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND ANYTHING OUT ABOUT IT, LEST IT RUIN THE SURPRISE!!!

I can't say anything, unfortunately, about what Univision has in store for you all up there, mainly because I haven't got a clue. It's good news to read that 'El color de la pasion' is, apparently, making its way up there. It's a brooding, almost gothic novela, incredibly well-acted, and I think you'll all like it, and yes, I'm joining the chorus of those who are PRAYING that they'll give you guys 'Yo no creo en los hombres'... it's running on another channel down here in Nicaragua (I've already seen it when it came out, of course) and, SO often, I am stricken with just how incredibly well-done 'this' scene' or 'that' scene was. The acting is first rate, by far the best ensemble cast I've seen in a novela this year and, even though it didn't take home the top Premio this year, it did take home the most, and hopefully, that will count for something with Looney-vision...

Two other things... at this point way to early to pontificate upon other than to acknowledge their existence but, apparently, Angelli Nesma's next production will be a remake of the Adela Noriega vehicle 'Yesenia' (about Roma gypsies (of course!), AND, there IS apparently a remake of 'Simplemente Maria' in the works... I'm not sure if this will in fact star Maite Perroni, but I'm relieved that, if it is in fact true, it will apparently be well beyond the clutches of the execrable Nathalie Lartilleux (who is busy coming up with ways to mangle the remake of 'La hija del jardinero' that she is supposedly working on...).

One LAST thing, (I swear!!), the only Telemundo project in the works that I can confirm is going to be called 'Bajo el mismo cielo' (it WAS going to be called 'El jardinero'), starring Gabriel Porras and Maria Elisa Conmargo, about an undocumented immigrant living in Los Angeles...

Stay tuned!!! :-)
 

Jarocha, I didn't notice your most recent comment, but wanted to remark upon it:

Thank you for the information- Monica Miguel ROCKS, and with the additional information, I am now FIRMLY aboard the 'Lo imperdonable' ship. (Now let's just hope that it doesn't sink!!!!(lol))


 

Whoo! Thank you Stevey! Lord, where do you get your info? I need to start reading up before I start tuning in.

I LOVED CME (just rewatched it), and I think it was invredibly well done, so I hope this newest incarnation of that previous incarnation lives up to its predecessor.

I also LOVED ENDA (currently rewatching it). I'm surprised Leticia Calderon's in it because she was in ENDA (so hateful. so, so hateful. That woman is a born villainess!) but then Luis Gatica was in La Mentira and CME, so maybe that's common?
 

I really feel like this information is causing a lot of confusion. All of this information is for MEXICO.

La Sombra del Pasado is NOT ending HERE on May 11th.

I haven't heard a thing about QTPD changing slots here.
 

Sara, you are so right, and I apologize.

My intent with this was to provide information as to what's going on here Mexico/Central America way, knowing that whatever is coming your way up there will COME from here.

I apologize for any confusion. :-(
 

Hi All,

I haven't been around for a while, but I stopped by to check on the buzz about upcoming novelas. I for one am really looking forward to Lo Imperdonable. Yes, it is a Mejia production based on La Mentira, but adapted by Ximena Suarez, who thankfully is not a "cut and paste" writer, as she proved with LQNPA and La Malquerida, among others. Also, it's not exactly fair to say that it's too soon after CME, because CME was loosely based on both La Mentira and another novela named "Mañana Será Otro Dia," which is the one that had the evil mother part of the story. Anyway, for a taste of the look and feel of Lo Imperdonable, here's a "fan-made" opening sequence, using promo clips and the official opening title song:

Happy viewings,

I'm sure Lo Imperdonable will have a nice following on Caray. Despite its flaws, La Tempestad had quite a few fans.

Lo Imp seems to be getting good buzz in Mexico and the comments I've seen about it seem to indicate that Mejia may have actually gotten things right this time.
 

Well as long as the story and the acting sticks i will watch it too. La tempested had potential but its writing and the whole array of annoying characters were yuck , i watched a few La Tormenta when i was young and i liked the story better there. In Tempestad i only liked our sweet William and Cesar Evora who were the best characters in the entire show and maybe the girl protangoist. The rest was just too shallow. I do admit that the wicked Hernan was fun to watch but his ancestor from La Tormenta was much more frightful.
 

I don't think I will watch it though. I'm too gun shy with Mejia and I've got too many shows I'm trying to keep up with.
 

Here is the reason i think La Tempestad was just way too shallow for me , the villians were just fantastic in La Tormenta !

and no excitement for Cumbia Ninja?
why am i always the only one watching the horrible shows?

okay, i know it's because i have horrible taste.

but thanks for keeping us informed! can't wait for some fresh meat.

I have honestly never heard of Cumbia Ninja, whats the show like? I only meet out Christian Mier out of the star , the others are complete utter strangers. I still dread that i missed El Senor de Los Cielos by the way , now they are in the third season :(
