Amores con Trampa #40 ... Facundo has taken over the company, even the company name and cut Santees salary to less than half... Also seems the homes Santee was trying to sell would not stand to the set of a town hall theater play, Facundo and Beto not happy about that...

Maria calls Santee and lets him know Facundo is planning some event/party at the company this afternoon. Santee thanks Maria for the heads up and says to himself 'you will see the party i will put out for you...'
Facundo meets with some of the construction workers and mentions 'that thing which i told you for this afternoon'. Esteban comes in and assures Facundo he has not spilled the beans about the afternoon party with Santee.  Facundo reminds Esteban that now HE is the biggest voice/vote in the company since Facundo called it 'MY company'. Esteban thinks to himself that Facundo is not as dumb as he thought, that it will be more complicated to get his plan executed. Esteban leaves. Facundo sends the other men away.
Beto tells Facundo that whatever food (garnachas?) he wanted is ready for the afternoon. Facundo starts practicing his 'talk' as an enterpeneur-OTE! LOL!
Isa talks with Alejandra, Felipe and Santee... Isa says you have to be 'ready' for love, and in her opinion Felipe is not ready for marriage.  Then since noone likes her opinion, she plays the target, the 'villain of the movie' in their eyes.  Isa tells Felipe that when he is ready and he plans the rest of his life with a woman, the children will come later.  Isabel says at least you did not choose the farmer.  Felipe reacts quickly saying he does not want to hear anymore about Carmen Yoya. Rocio asks why, he won't tell. Later Felipe tells Santee he will go to the company since Santee is not in the mood. Santee proud that Felipe is volunteering for this and 'is a grown man'. Hugs him.
Party is in full speed... Porfirio is there flirting with the girls who work at the company, even tries to dance with one of the girls. He uses the card that he is 'the father of the new chief of the changarro'. 
Some guy comes by and wants to yell a toast for the best boss in the world!  Facundo takes over and asks the men to loosen their ties... and that he will raise everyone's salary.  Maria comes over and Facundo dances with her.  Esteban, Yoya, Gusana and even Margarito are in attendance.  
Felipe comes in and wants to know what is going on, he is irritated. Esteban tells him.  Elevator opens again and yells asking what is going on, he did not know that there was a party of farmer town with smell of garnacha, fat and chorizo(sausage).  Facundo asks what he is doing there. Felipe says his uncle is the founder and owner of a part of this company, and does not need an invitation.  Maria is scared about Santee's reaction and claim that noone invited him.  Facundo confirms noone invited him. Porfirio wants to take over the argument with the 'bravucon y pesao' guy.  He takes his hat off and is ready to have a round of punches with Santee.  Facundo steps in the way and stops Porfirio, asks Beto to take him outside. But Porfirio stops at the girl he was dancing with ready to take it where he left it off... but Perpetua is there to stop him and save the poor girl. 
Now Santee insults Facundo about offering him tequila, saying he does not drink tequila, pulque or mezcal... he only takes whiskey, but can't consume alcohol now because he is taking anti-depressant and tranquilizer meds now because of what Facundo took him through.
Facundo announces he is the new owner of the company, and while he is on that high, he shows everyone the new name of the company ‘Grupo Carmona’. Santee has what looks like a heart attack reaction. Felipe grabs him worried. Even Facundo and Maria get worried since Santee can't breathe well.

Diego and Francis talk. Francis is in the mood of making martinis to celebrate her success. Diego tells Francis she knows she was never preggers. Francis says yeah but only we know that. He claims she went overboard stepping in front of Carmen's car so she would be run over.  Francis says yeah it hurt a bit but it was well worth it.  She went back with Feli. Diego claims Carmen is really not well, she is having a really hard time because of her. Francis asks if he likes Carmen. Diego just admits he likes her and he has a good time when he is with her. And Diego tells her to go ahead and be happy with the idiot of Felipe but warns Francis that if she goes any more overboard with Carmen, he will tell Santee that the false test and sonogram was provided by his dad. So forget Carmen even exists.  Francis all but ignores the warning.
Back to the office party... now it is Porfirio giving Santee a bit of his mind... he will even send his 'padrinos' to Santee to set up a duel to the death... (LOL)!!  Perpetua drags him away.
Felipe wants to take Santee home too.  But Santee has some words for Facundo. He could have told Santee that he was going to change the name of the company... Esteban tries to take him away... accuses Facundo of having stolen everything from him. Facundo says (don't keep putting tuetano on your tacos), he is so nice he will let Santee keep working at the company, but he will have a smaller office. The big management one is now ours. Oh by the way, his salary will come down a bit. Facundo even mentions to Santee that Esteban helped him read the stuff he signed and also set up everything he is telling Santee.  Now he will get a taste of what it is like to earn the bread he earns.  Santee angrily turns around to Esteban and says 'my friend... sorry, Licenciado!' and asks how much he is going to earn. Esteban announces that by instruction by Facundo, he will get a 60% cut in pay, and by the way, I agreed with Facundo. Tells Santee that Facundo considered Santee's salary was way excessive for what he used to do.  Facundo adds some salt on the wound... he will take his resignation if he prefers that, but he does not think anyone will hire someone so inept in another place.  Santee gets even more offended and wants to fight, 'what am I going to tell my woman? my Puchis?? My Isabel??' (Maria looks worried) he faints right on Esteban's arms, but Felipe drags him away. Facundo tells everyone that nothing happened and to continue celebrating, then he stands in front of the elevator with a smile on his face saying 'Ay Jalisco, no te rajes! AAAAAH JAAAA JAAA!!!!' (LOL!) .
The Velascos meet at their house… Santee is acting like the victim… Isabel tells him your move backfired on you.  She nags that he has never really been totally clear headed to make the right decisions.  Isa is now playing like the martyr, we will go live under a bridge… Feli asks her not to exaggerate.  She warns that Santee’s new business will not save them… Rocio suggests Isabel sell her jewelry… No way Jose.  Santee says thank goodness we are debt free thanks to the stock we sold. Isa says then sell the rest of your stock.  Santee refuses to just hand over the business to Facundo.  He will recover the business whatever it takes.  Isa does not buy any of what he’s selling.
At Carmonas Facundo and Maria get home. He feels sick from all the drinking. And Porfirio drank twice as much. He did not like Santee showing up so quickly, someone must have told him about the plan.  Facundo suspects it could be Esteban. Maria looks like she swallowed a giant sour frog.  He says he will get payback, he will get things in order. Maria tries to calm him down and asks if he is not overdoing the revenge thing.  Facundo says remember that because of Santee she lost her trust in Facundo.  HE is not looking for trouble. Santee provoked him.  Maria then gets smoochy still trying to cool him off.  (or warm him up?)  Facundo questions her motives for getting so romantic.  Is she trying to get something out of him? Is she trying to pull one of the Velascos cards and try to manipulate him? 
At Velascos, Feli is trying to talk to Rocio. But she is about to head out.  Feli is worried about her, they have not had a chance to talk. He says she had stopped going out late and not coming back. But she says she just retook that habit.  She does not want any of them to mess with her life and she won’t listen to speeches.

Morning, rooster calls… Isa again upset waking up to him. Santee also wakes up and gets momentarily scared at her droopy eyes.  (guess they did not get much sleep) 
At the office, Beto is already there, Feli arrives and they have their rough words… Feli tells Beto he is worried about Rocio.  Beto tells him she send him packing because of all the trouble with the parents. Beto says he keeps calling her but she won’t answer.  Facundo comes in and tells Beto not to talk to Feli.  Feli protests what Facundo just did… Beto also protests… they have to work together so lets keep it cool. Santee shows up.
Santee is really depressed seeing all the boxes in the office where Facundo and Beto used to be.  Seems this is Santee’s new office. Esteban comes in. Says Facundo and Beto went out for a while and they need to talk. Santee considers him a Judas. Santee not in the mood to talk, right now considers Esteban a traitor, a rat, even says Esteban is after his wife and his money.  No friend does that. Didn’t even help him with what he wanted, to spy on Facundo for him.  Esteban says he can start now. Too late, says Santee, now have someone else on that job.  Esteban keeps thinking to himself that neither Santee or Facundo know all he knows…  Santee says Get out of my office, or whatever this is.  (Santee is really down in the dumps) Calls someone on his cell.  
Seems this is Maria who he is calling, and he wants to meet her somewhere… but grandma is on to her. Maria heads out nervously. 
Rocio comes home with sunglasses.  Asks Conchita for coffee, not willing to talk now. Isabel confronts her.  They argue back and forth again yada yada… Rocio asks what she wants from her.  This is what you and my uncle made of my life. Now I don’t know what to do!   Isabel demands that she grow up and own up to her actions and their consequences.  Stop wandering around through life or I will have no choice but to lock you in a rehab clinic. Rocio rebutes the only one that needs rehab is you, crazy woman.  Conchita brings the coffee and leaves behind Rocio… Isa thinks to herself ‘ay Facundo… so close and yet so far’.
At the condo building site, the ads guy is still working on changing everything around from ‘Velasco’ to ‘Carmona’.  The guy wants to show Facundo and Beto the model home… Facundo and Beto don’t understand the ‘casa muestra/casa piloto’ concept, they think for a moment that the house shows itself.  They come in (can't fit through the door together) and a guy is dressed sloppily and is eating on the job. Facundo asks if he is the pilot (LOL!)… Facundo and Beto talk to him but at the same time are doing some size and stress test on the walls… (which don’t really pass that well, Facundo just grabs a wall and pushes a hole in the wall just with his thumb, Beto says the houses are made from what looks like poster board "cartulina" Lol!!) Facundo and Beto are not happy with what they find, the kitchen can barely fit them in it, they can't sit at the table, its too low for their legs... Facundo ends up with the pieces of the stove in his hand saying its worse than his daughter's toys...   The bed is tiny and Facundo breaks it when he lets himself land on it.  The door in the bedroom doesn’t even open all the way.  (the door is made only for air flow, you should exit via the main door… really? LOL!)  the shower head is too low for Facundo … Beto keeps finding doors that are not aligned with the frames, can't even sit at toilet and close the door without swinging your legs around.   They end up breaking the bathroom sink. Beto and Facundo are angry now.  ‘is this what you are selling people?’   The living room TV is just a faccade made of cardboard.  Facundo is already talking of lowering the salary of the sales guy.  The guy keeps saying this is because we are trying to make it affordable for folks who can’t afford much. Facundo says YES WE CAN do with better quality for everyone.   Facundo pulls Beto away to whisper privately.  They have to do something ‘isofacto!’ (right away), have to call for a meeting ASAP. Beto nods in agreement.
Estefani visits Esteban at the office.  She tells him about a guy from her past (working at a bar in Monterrey) recognizing her while she was with Facundo…  Esteban worries, if Santee realizes she even got to work as a waitress and that she is pennyless, he will loose interest in her.  Estefani mocks Esteban’s iq level ‘talento’ but not referring to him having talent/smarts, but for him being slow (‘ta lento).  She says surely Santee thinks she is dumb and that this is the right time to squeeze her out of her money.  Esteban says we need to wait until Santee starts his new business and believes himself to have succeeded…  Santee is a dumb man with women and ruling his house... but he is a really smart investor, knows when to invest and when to pull out of deals. Estefani asks ‘then what will we do?’  Esteban says he is the brains of this operation… you just keep seducing Santee and for God’s sake, get preggers! She says she has a better idea and will implement it by herself. When she has done that she will let Esteban know the details. He wants to keep talking but she gets irritated and takes off for her ‘aero-box’ gym class. 
The designer Federick and Isabel meet. She is getting his help in some new scam. 
Santee and Maria meet at some outdoor restaurant.  She is hesitant but showed up in sunglasses.  Santee asks her if Facundo has told her about his plans.  Maria says Facundo wants to get Santee out of the business.  Santee says surely he will meet with the board and Santee needs to know when that will happen. Maria hesitant to believe that keeping Santee informed is for the better for both families, she feels she is deceiving her husband with this.  But just when Santee had eased her into their plan, here comes Grandma really angry at Maria and very accusive of whatever Maria is doing.

Previews:  Facundo is leaving to spend the night away from everyone (seems he plans to work on what he needs to do at the company) but somehow Isabel has figured out where Facundo is… and goes to meet him and try to convince him of her love for him and asks for them to be together, even gets down to lingerie, he has his arms up holding something… and here comes Maria opening the door…

Super Marta! Able to recap tall episodes in a single bound! Can't wait to read this!
 

"Maria looks like she swallowed a giant sour from."

What a mental image. Thank you for the recap, Marta... And for getting up so quickly, too. My TV started acting screwy and turning itself off so I haven't gotten to see the episode yet. I'm so glad I had the recap. I need my Carmona fix!
 

Frog
 

Sara,
back in the days i was a girl scout leader and active mom for my kids troops, they had an event where they DID make me eat/swallow a giant sour frog while i was blindfolded so i had no idea what they were putting in my mouth... so Maria's face reminded me of what that felt... except her problem was much worse than mine...

 

Marta, thanks, for the very enjoyable read this a.m.! "Frog" included.

Interesting:

Grandpappy Porfirio at the party telling the dog that he was going to "echar perros" (put the moves on ) that girl. I felt so sorry for her getting stuck dancing with him. He was at his dirty old man best/worst/funniest?

Grandpappy deciding to take a break from romance, taking off his hat and trying to punch out Santiago; then wanting a duel to the death with him. (He was so drunk)

Santiago's entrance to the party as his upper class self criticizing the "fiestucha" as being vulgar and smelling of "garnachas" (fried street food), lard and (oh, no!) chorizo!!!!! Then he does not drink, tequila, pulque or mezcal. When he drinks, he drinks whiskey. (Made me think if the most interesting man in the world 2X
commercials)

Poor Santiago getting his salary cut by 60%.

Francis was trying to insult Carmen by asking Diego if he liked the "pigui". But how could that be an insult? :)

Santiago "waking"with a start in bed and after looking at Isabel saying that he thought he was having a nightmare about the mummies in Guanajuato.

Facundo and Santiago not "fitting" anywhere in the model home.

María not being adept at keeping her association with Santiago a secret. It was way too early for anyone to find out about it. I hope Granny does not "guilt her"into doing anything she does not want to do.

Jarifa



 

Marta, thanks for telling us about your "sour frog". experience. What a fun memory!

Jarifa
 

Kirby, I don't think I've ever seen anyone correct someone else's autocorrect mistake. That is rude. Not to mention you didn't even bother to acknowledge the recap OR say thank you to Marta for it.
 

Thanks, Marta. Fab recap. Wow, you swallowed a giant sour frog! I know your girl scouts were impressed -- and maybe know feel a little bit guilty. :D

Porfirio dancing close with the young assistant was hard to watch. That poor girl.

My second time to wince came when Maria said she’d return to their bedroom if Facundo gave up the business. Yikes, Facundo nailed it on the head when he asked if she was turning into a manipulator like that Isa. He said he wanted Maria back in their bedroom only if she wanted to be with him, but not as a bargain. Poor Maria looked like she felt like 2 cents.

Facundo asking the showroom guy if he is the pilot – too funny. And the schtick of Facundo and Beto not fitting together through each doorway never got old with me.

So Facundo will spend a night in the showroom apartment to come up with ideas for turning it around. He changed the company name for ego, but it’s a good idea considering Grupo Velasco stood for shoddy workmanship. Santi may know about stock investments, but he didn’t respect customers so no wonder he didn't have any.

Yay, Doña Perpetua ambushed Maria with Santi! I’ve been giving Perpetua a hard time about her old school advice to Maria, but she’s got a good nose for smelling a rat. Hoping she’ll help Maria dig herself out this hole she’s sinking in with Santi.
 

Oops So sorry. I was truly not trying to be a smartass, but appear to have succeeded at it anyway. I make so many misspellings I was just trying to help. I possibly do not understand all the secret unwritten rules here.
 

The biggest rule is thank the recapper. Which you still haven't don't.
 

Just finished watching the episode, and then went straight to your as always marvelously detailed recaps, Marta. Gracias!

Two people are going to be in BIG trouble when their betrayals are revealed- Maria and Diego- and I am not looking forward to it. Come clean before you're exposed, Maria and Diego!

Loved the whole fun sequence in the model house. LOL! I so want Fac and Beto to turn this business around, and they are taking steps towards that. They just need someone trustworthy on their side who knows construction. Not sure I would trust anyone working at the company, as they have gone along with Santi's shoddy construction instructions all this time.

Loved the cute visuals of Santi on the couch surrounded by his kids, and he and Isa playing musical chairs to be the one in the center. It would have made a nice family photo, if not for the bitter undertones.

I appreciate that Feli did not tell anyone else that it was supposedly Carmen who caused Francis to miscarry. That lie doesn't need to be spread. I also liked that Beto and Feli quickly put aside their family differences to speak about their concern for Rocio. By the way, last night while out, I saw two young pretty girls, dresses all goth and in black, in short skirts and high heeled boots, and I immediately thought of Rocio. That girl needs to find direction in her life. Doesn't matter if she and Beto are together or not. She can't go into self destruct mode because of a breakup.
 

I don't think the young secretary minded dancing with Porfirio so much. She even came and took him off Perpetua's hands at one point.
 

Thanks for the recap it was a good episode i agree rocio needs direction and i think Diego should come clean to yoya and or feli or both santi is getting what's coming to him lo tranzo primero i don't think that feli and yoya should be end game Diego is winning me over
 

Evangelina-Welcome! I haven't "seen" you before. I'm glad there is another Diego fan in the house. I'm very charmed by him. I hope he comes clean about the ultrasound he stole for Francis. I'm afraid he won't though because he wants Carmen.

I completely agree with you that Feli and Carmen shouldn't be end game!!

Finally found time to see the episode and loved it. Thank you again for the recap Marta. Maria's sour frog face was pretty bad. You are a trooper for letting girl scouts feed you things blindfolded. I bet you were a great troop leader and the girls loved you.

I kinda thought the young secretary was pleased to be dancing with the new boss's dad, too.

"Doesn't matter if she and Beto are together or not. She can't go into self destruct mode because of a breakup."

I don't feel like the self-destruct mode is because of Beto. I think she is just self-destructive (is that a word?) And now that she's back with Isa. That can't be helping. Isa is pushing Rocio's buttons so she can get Rocio committed.

I did sort of feel like Maria was being a little like Isa in trying to use her "charms" to get Facundo to do what she wanted. I didn't know how to feel about what he said to her, either. He seems very aware that Isa is manipulative yet he still seems attracted to her? It confused me (which isn't a surprise, I'm easily confused.)
 

Vivi, so agree about María and Diego, especially María after plotting with Facundo's nemesis. We know he is planning on tracking down the traitor. It will be interesting to see if his investigation leads to María. I hate that Granny is also in the mix now.

Niecie, I also liked that Facundo laid it on the line with María and was not going to start negotiating sex.

Can't wait to see what happens next week!

Jarifa


 

Niecie- I forgot to say that if Facundo is all about making the business more honest, then I am all for it.
 

Awesome recap!

Only time for a couple of comments. First, I give Feli credit for actually working while Beto seems to be just his dad's sounding board. Plus Feli has two jobs. Second, why isn't Beto at school? I though he was going to start.
 

Thank you Carvivlie!! I am so disappointed that Beto hasn't started going to the university yet!

Maybe this week?
 

Sara thanks i am new to this i finally found a place to comment and read recaps on this tn and others when feli does find out miss little Francis will be kickex to the curb but feli will feel bad for not listening to Carmen or believeing in her and Carmen shouldn't go flying to feli either because when she was sad who was there Diego
 

I'm glad you found us!

Does anyone remember how Feli took the baby news? Was Carmen the one that broke things off because of the baby? Or was it mutual because of the baby?

I don't want Carmen running to Feli either. For now, Diego does seem to be the only person trying to be there for her. IMO, Feli has NEVER been strong enough about telling Franics to stop being mean. He should have gone off at that party when Carmen showed up in costumes...but he didn't. And Francis kept being mean. Feli always responded with "one more time and I'll break up with you..."
 

Sara feli told Carmen about the baby so Carmen decided not to be with feli because of the baby and yes Diego is the only person that seems to be there for Carmen i just feel so bad for her uni should be a place to go to school and actually enjoy it not being bothered
 

Thanks for clearing that up.

I wish they had made Feli, Francis, Carmen and Diego high-schoolers. Their behavior seems really childish for Uni students.
 

Sara i agree
 

I have to sort of adjust my beanie with that story-line. They are too old for that behavior, but I really like Carmen and Diego... So I just go with it.
 

Yes that's true i like Carmen and Diego and they need to just grow up and so does rocio
 

But when I really think about it, Isa and Santi and Facundo and Maria aren't acting very grown up either.
 

Yes that's true isa facundo Maria and santi are acting worse then the kids are
 

Omigosh. I think Susana, Ale and Jacinto might be the most mature characters!
 

Diego is wrong not to fess up to Carmen about the fake ultrasound, but I'm not too hard on him for keeping silent. If Feli is stupid enough to believe Carmen deliberately hit pregnant Francis with her car, why shouldn't Diego use this opening to get close to Carmen?

On the other hand, in the past Carmen did deliberately crash her car into Francis' empty car, so I can see why Feli might not believe Carmen.

Welcome, Evangeline!
 

Oops, I meant Evangelina!
 

My issue with Feli is that Francis was such a elitist, classist jerk with Carmen. Baby or not he's a nitwit to put up with that. He certainly isn't that way. By staying with her, I feel like Feli is condoning her behaviour.
 

Thanks, Marta!

I agree with Sara that Felipe is a nitwit to stay with Francis, but Carmen's not the best choice either. She's got some anger management problems. Besides the deliberate car crash (which could have given her whiplash), she's guilty of driving too fast through a parking lot.

For me, it was also hard to watch the assistant dancing with Porfirio. He's such a dirty old man. I don't think she liked the attention so much though. I think she was being a team player and distracting Porfirio to keep him from being disruptive.

Loved the scenes with Beto and Facundo trying to get through the doors at the model house at the same time. Looks like being under new management is going to turn the company around. Thank you, writers, for showing us how Facundo is going to make things better.
 

Hi, Aleta!

Nice to see you. I don't think we've watched a show together since PSMA. I hope you come join us and set a spell.

I hadn't thought about it, but now that you mention it if Carmen had been driving more slowly in the parking lot Francis wouldn't have been able to pull the fake accident trick.

I can't remember who, but it has been mentioned that Carmen is a little too quick to fly off the handle.
 

Geez Louise I can't avoid comment bombing.

I also meant to say that I like that Facundo is going to try and make Grupo Carmona an honest business. I hope he turns Santi around, too.

Have I mentioned how much I love Ernesto Laguardia? I think I may have forgotten to this week.
 

Sara, you can comment bomb all you want. I know what you mean about EL. Santiago is my favorite character so far (only after Margarito) followed by Estefany. I just loved the other day when she was hovering so close to Facundo, making him all nervous and enjoying it.

Jarifa
 

Niecie you and everyone can call me Eva it's much easier my favorite is Santiago as well he's to funny and he really cares about the kids unlike isa over there i am hopeing that facundo won't be to mad at Maria but i think Maria is a little selfish because she wants to go back to el campo just to keep facundo away from isa but not caring if the kids get a good education i love margarito he's the only sane one i like alejandra to
 

Welcome, Eva! Good point about dear little Margarito. Alejandra seems wise beyond her years.

Jarifa
 

Well, Alejandra did have that jealousy fit about Susana, so I'm putting Susana above her in the maturity department.
 

Thanks for forgiving my comment bombs, Jarifa. I'm such a scatterbrain. I probably shouldn't admit this, but I spend quite a lot of time thinking about "my shows." I don't even post half the stuff that goes through my head. Sometimes I hit "publish" and realize I forgot to say something.

You're so right, Eva-Margarito *is* the only sane one right now.

I do love Alejandra and her suffering breaks my heart, but like Vivi I have to put Susana a smidge higher than Ale on the maturity scale (just a smidge.)
 

Sara i agree Susan is a little bit more mature and anonymous thanks and Sara yes margarito is the only sane one the rest they just have growing up to do especially Francis she needs to understand that a guy wanting another girl isn't the end of the world she needs to get over herself
 

I hope that is where this is all heading--some character growth.

I get Maria's jealously and I get her wanting to go home. As was said so well this week, she really hasn't made any new friends and she's still stuck in the kitchen. I don't like her being manipulative.

On the other hand, trying to talk to Facundo like an adult and telling him how she feels doesn't seem to be helping and she's seen Isa making headway with her husband. I sort of understand her change of tactics.

I feel like Isa is the more seflish one. She's being horrible to the children, trying to get Rocio put away and in the avances it looks like she is actively going after Facundo.
 

Sara very true Maria has a right to do what she's doing how sad she's still stuck in the kitchen maybe Maria should get out more to see what the city offers I'm sure all the characters will grow i wonder how long this tn will be
 

She tried. We were all hoping her shawls would take off and that Maria would end up a successful business woman. Facundo put a stop to that.

I don't think this will be super long. We are only about 20 episodes behind Mexico.
 

Sara- You are so right that Maria tried the direct approach, telling Facundo exactly what she wanted and why, He has chosen to ignore her and bulldoze her. The only time he was willing to even give an inch was when HE felt guilty as hell for sleeping with Isa. Once he knew that wasn't true, he went right back to ignoring Maria's feelings. Plus, he took away the ONE thing that had made her feel fulfilled since they got to the city- the shawls. So he's kind of reaping what he sowed with her going behind his back like this.
 

"Bulldoze" is the perfect word.

I really want the shawl business back. Every time there's a scene with Federick I want him to bring up the shawls.
 

Hey. I just realized this is episode 40.

When I wrote that synopsis back in March, I didn't think Amores con trampa posts would last past the first week.

I want to thank Jarifa and Marta again for all the work they are doing.

And thanks again to everyone who stops by to comment.

I love this show and I'm glad there are others who like it too.
 

I'm sure that the shawl business will take off i just didn't like that facundo didn't care and told her not to do it es un machista
 

¡Sí! Muy machista!
 

Just think about that short moment when Maria stood proudly on that catwalk with everyone applauding her, and how quickly that moment was ruined when she looked out and saw Facundo's sour face. Yet, he expects her to be all happy happy, joy joy, (and cook for everyone to boot!), next to his side when he's doing his big boss thing in front of the construction company employees. I'd be p*ssed.
 

Wow, Vivi. Two strong words in one week. This show is really making your blood boil. ;-)

Did you say sour FROG face?

That was such a great moment when the crowd was applauding Maria. I don't think anyone has ever shown her so much appreciation.
 

LOL! I just want to remind us all of why Maria has some genuine reason to be aggrieved. Unfortunately, as in real life, the woman just ends up looking like a shrew when she complains. While the bullish/bull-headed behavior of the man in seen as cute/funny. Part of that is because the man is in the package of the muy guapo Eduardo Yanez, and I'm guilty too of glossing over his flaws. :)
 

You hit the nail on the head. Maria definitely has reason to be upset, but... Big Ed.

Now I sound like Isa. Faahcuuundooo.
 

LOL! Faahcuuundooo!!!!!
 

Lol to funny I'm sure Maria is going to get fed up and stop listening to him I'm thinking Maria should get a pretendiente so that facundo can no how it feels
 

Thanks so much, Marta.

Eva - I'm with you regarding the "pretendiente" (suitor).
 

Eva and Denise - ITA on Maria having a pretendiente. Facundo has already shown jealousy when Santi danced with Maria or kissed her hand.

I'm giving Facundo a break cause he is now staying away from Isa, though he did trigger this whole mess with his excessive gushing over her and disrespecting Maria's feelings about it. And I'm still ticked that he never told Maria that it was Isa that ratted her out about the fashion show in the first place.

One thing that worries me about Maria being in cahoots with Santi is that she doesn't get that Santi wants to destroy Facundo, not just save his (Santi's) marriage. Maria wants to save her marriage, but she's not about destroying Isa.
 

Niecie - Oh I had forgotten that Isa had ratted out Maria and Fac didn't tell her. Now I'm ticked all over again.

If Isa had half a brain, she could get that boutique to turn a nice profit and not even have to worry about Santi's money.

Maria is naive. I'd like to see her become a little more aware of the dark side of people... but not become cynical and bitter.
 

Here I go again. COMMENT BOMBS AWAY!

It would be good to see a suitor for Maria, but I worry about Fac's reaction to that.

But yeah, it would be so nice if someone could woo Maria and focus on her intelligence and talents, not just her culinary and laundry skills.
 

Just read an interview this a.m. at a radioformula site. The actors interviewed were Scarlet Dergal (Rocío) and Boris Duflos (Diego). The novela will end in October in Mexico. So, I suppose it will end in November here. Sounds like around 150-160 capítulos when all is said and done. Somos Los Carmona had 151 25-30 minute episodes, so it is easy to see how the extension was built in. End of research, I am off to shop! :)

Thank you for letting us know, Jarifa! 150-160 is longer than I usually like, but if they keep up the fun I'm fine with it. It's not 190!

Have fun shopping! I hope you find some great deals.
 

I am happy that the extension was announced early in the novela. Maybe that will make it easier for the writers keep us happy with a well written tale.

Jarifa
 

Good point, Jarifa. I hadn't even thought of that.

I wonder if they had a short show planned in case of low ratings, but had a back up plan in case of success. Having a back up plan may mean we will have a quality product for the entire run.


 

The extension will be good i no facundo got mad that santi kissed Maria hand but you see Maria has to deal with being jealous all the time facundo doesn't see it that way i no he's trying to stay away from isa but it isn't going to work for long so if someone gives Maria attention other than sani and actually notices that Maria is much more than just washing clothes and cooking and cleaning then facundo will no that Maria is a good person and only wants best for her family
 

If Facundo van get his mind off Isa, he might notice what a catch Maria is!

I think the extension will be OK, too.

Filming on Antes Muerta que Lichita started today. That's the show that will replace Amores con trampa in Mexico. Univision has announced it will air here, too. I assume after Amores.

I don't know why it never occurred to me that they have to start filming these things so far in advance.
 

I think they start filming early just in case some tn gets shorten i hope antes muerta que lichita is good i like arath de la Torre he's to funny yes hopefully facu gets his mind off of isa because he's going to lose a good women in Maria
 

I am DYING to see Antes muerta que lichita.
 

So am i every tn that Rossi ocampo does is really good i would like to watch la vecina to
