Lo Imperdonable #30 Fri 6/26/15 Love By The Waterfall
We get a shot of a dove on a tree.

One small comment - the "oficina general de minas" is something similar to the "Minerals Management Service" that exists in the U.S. It is a regulatory agency.
OK. So does our heroine Vero not see anything suspicious with her skitzo Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde hubby? Or is she just so happy not to face Satan every morning she is not looking a gift horse in the mouth? Come on Vero, even Hitler had brief lapses of bearable, so they say.
So the 'Wonder by the Waterfall' is to make us believe CrazyMarty had functional man parts? I'm a regular normal man and I am not convinced. He still looks like that lead singer in the boy band Wham! from years ago. What if Grampa Pervert had walked up? Would he have tried to join in? And that dam sneaky Nanci Gaga had to be peeking from behind a rock. She misses nothing. Sometimes I wonder how many of her there are. She's everywhere.
I want Vero to finally know the whole truth about CrazyBoy and Vsnake too. Maybe she can put those two through what they have done to her. She needs to know what a messed-up puke excuse for a man she is married to.

Bet that love making wasn't all good for Martin. Imagine he had all kinds of performance anxiety, wondering if Veronica thought him better or worse a lover than Demetrio. How long before he starts to berate her to tell?
More Blancquita please.
Hmmm, Virginia going after Jorge. I'm past ready for her to get going on somebody.
I want Magdalena to dump her ball and chain, Botel
Ana Perla feels guilty for messing with another girls man? How about having some self respect and kicking the sleaze bag Pablo to the curb and friend Mariana on fb.
So Martin undergoes a personality reversal and he and Vero celebrate the success of their love! I guess we should holler whoo hoo? I do hope Nancy wasn't spying on the mujer blanca making love with the master.
One of the members of our Caray community pointed out to me that ManuaLabor is an ethnic slur. Please avoid using it in any future comments, okay? I'm sure you want to contribute to maintaining a respectful environment here. Thanks, Kirby.
Thanks for the detailed recap. I really enjoyed reading it.
I want to comment about our two main characters. We, as viewers, know a lot more than Vero and Martin. If we look at the story from there point of view, then we might better understand why they do what they do. First, Vero is a good person. She is loving, giving, patient and understanding. But she is also very vulnerable. She was left without a mother or father at a young age, so of course she is going to hold on tight to whatever she can. She loves Martin, and now being married to him, she is not going to let go because she truly feels that this is the beginning of HER family. She wants to create something that is hers, and she is going to stick to no matter what. We should also remember that, although Martin has been acting like a nut lately, she doesn't know the reason why. So, the only thing that Vero knows is that she loves her husband and he's been acting nutty. Since she's not one to give up so easily, she's going to be curious about Martin's behavior. That's why she hasn't left. And now that the marriage has been consummated, it will be even harder for her when she finds out the truth. No spoiler here because we all know she will find out the truth, it's just a matter of time. If Vero had found out the truth about Martin's vengeance before he decided to change, I think she would have left.
Now about Martin. All he knows is that his brother killed himself over a gold- digging woman. He promises his brother to avenge his death and goes to find her. All the evidence points to Vero. Even her family has bad things to say about her. So in his eyes she is the root cause of his brothers death. Problem is, cupid shot him through the heart when he met Vero at the Club. So this whole time he has been fighting against himself. And even though there is no excuse for acting crazy with an innocent person (Vero), all he knows are the lies from her family. Now that he has had time to know the real Vero, the fight within him is even greater. He swore to avenge his brother, but he now finds himself in love with the woman he thinks is guilty of his death. That has to be some pretty heavy stuff weighing on a person. I am surprised he didn't totally go crazy. I know people might criticize this, but you have to give Martin credit for "forgiving" Vero. From his point of view, he is forgiving the person he thinks killed his brother. In his eyes, love conquered his need for vengeance, and in my eyes that means a lot.
More later...
Hasta pronto
The comments to the contrary and living with Vero on a daily basis is what has made Martin stop his need for vengeance, at least for now. We don't know how long this will last. It's too soon in the story for a happy ending. There will be more obstacles in the way for the two recent love birds.
For now I am going to enjoy the happy couple. I never thought I would say this, but I am finding Ivan Sanchez quite attractive. I could not stand him on La Tempestad. Now he was a real nut case in that one. Ivan has won me over with his excellent acting skills.
I do completely understand Veronica's vulnerability and her actions so far, painful as they are sometimes to watch and believe Martin had pushed her to the breaking point. Had he another jealous outburst or another bout of slut shaming she would have left. I just don't believe he's done.
One curious note - other than their initial screen tests when Ivan was competing with Jencarlos Canela for the role of Martin, the lovemaking scenes by the waterfall were the FIRST scenes of the entire novela to be filmed between Ana Brenda and Ivan Sanchez. Way to break the ice, I say.
A quick search on Google does not corroborate this information, but in fact did yield an unusual sexual connotation. Go figure.
LatinaInMD, ITA that Martin totally messed up and has alot to make up for. He is lucky that Vero is so in love with him and a forgiving and patient woman.
Wow, Latina, thanks for the info about the screen test and first scenes shot between Ivan and Ana Brenda. Boy, that must have been some introduction. I think they made the right choice between Ivan and JenCarlos Canela. Nothing against JC. I saw him in Mas Sabe el Diablo, and he was great, but Ivan plays this tormented, crazy soul character of Martin so well. I just can't picture JC outdoing Ivan in this particular role. Ivan does an excellent job of playing crazy.
I'm a bit of a TN sucker! I hate the behavior of Martin, but I'm a sucker for the story-- as some have said before me, I'm enjoying this calm before the storm.
I want more Julio less Pablo. I think Pablo's a jerk and assume that when he returns to find his wedding is all planned he will not man up and break up.
Isn't the TN law that if you don't see the body they're probably not dead? Hasn't Magdelena watched a novela or two? Come to think of it... I'm still not convinced that Pablo Montero won't show up later in the show for a duet with Claudia at the Purgatory bar!
Looking forward to next week.
Thanks,
Rebecca
The thing that bugs me about Vero sticking it out is that she hasn't really invested much time in this guy or relationship, and he's run hot and cold from the beginning. This didn't just start when they got to the jungle. It's not like she's fighting to save a 20 year marriage where they have kids, or something. Why is she so willing to take so much crap from a guy she barely knows? If he starts acting up again, then I hope she tells him off and packs her bags for real. And don't look back.
It would be nice if martin stayed this sweet, but he wont. Something is gonna set him off, and I hope shes (veronica) not preggers when it happens. And I hope nancy girl isn't the cause. Shes moveing from one patron to the other. Patron 1.0 is dead, and patron 2.0 is in her sights. Girl need to take powder.
NovelaMaven- I did not know that MANUELLABOR was an ethnic slur. Good to know. I was called the N-word years ago. It stung, didn't like it. Manuel's a jerk but he dosen't deserve that.
OMG its almost 1:00am. Ok guys yall are fun to chat with, but it is way passed my bedtime. Good Morning night :-)
My favorite moment was when the kids giggled and applauded the couple. In fact it seemed so spontaneous that I thought it might be a lucky accident. In any case, it was a breakthrough moment for the actors and the characters. I welcome the shift (without asking too many questions).
It feels like Vero and Magdalena are playing a zero sum game in which Vero's happiness is balanced out by Maggie's misery. I look forward to seeing Maggie and Vero together so they can figure things out.
Yeah, the thing with Claudia's blouse was weird. It seemed as if they had filmed a scene in which the sleeves of her blouse were torn off, then decided to cut it (the scene, not the blouse).

Tofie---On V-snake. I'm past ready for her to get going on somebody. LOL I say give her to Carlos.
AuntyAnn---A Super Great analysis at 5:42PM
I forgot who said it --- Nanciyaga always peeping around and listening in. Maybe she is Rubio's sister. Rubio did exactly the same thing in La Malquerida. The difference was that when Rubio got the info on somebody, he would sell it for a price. He was disgusting. I think that Nanci will try to use what she finds out for her own good but not in a monetary way.
Yes, I was thinking Friday night that Marty is still having trouble moving around and yet he was fit enough to make Vero very happy. Que?
THE SCREEN TEST BE DAMNED. It should have been the gringo and Ana Brenda.
Must see tv Monday night.

As an increasingly ridiculous PC society, we're placing an impossible litmus test on words. Despite left conventional wisdom, we simply do not have an unrestricted individual right to not be offended. I have been directly called many ugly things in my life and I refuse to let it upset/injure me. I acknowledge my power to recognize/ignore stupidity and also the freedom for everyone to have an opinion, even if I don't like it. I say lighten up and enjoy the novela.
libertad de expresion
Has Vero really had past lovers? Do we know? And if not, wouldn't their wafterfall passion not prove she was a virgin? She has done a lot of horseback riding. Not trying to be crude... it happens :/
These comments can get pretty heavy as I have experienced. But all in all, we're a pretty knowledgeable, educational group of people.
I hope I haven't offended anybody so far.
ITA WITH THE BLOGG MOMS RULES: Let's keep them, and enjoy the novelas. This Is just my comment, excuse the bad spelling:-)
“Padre Juan knows what a bastard err he knows what Martin means about Crescencio and will have a talk with the old goat”.
Great analysis at AuntyAnn-5:42PM. I could not agree with you more. I completely understand Vero, because I was her in my 20S…I will be turning 40 soon, so hindsight is 20/20.
I actually think Martin probably suffered more than her…Martin, literally has NO FAMILY. He lost him mother and his brother (who he considered a son) and without giving himself time to grieve, he went out looking for revenge (I think he missed the memo on “revenge is a dish better served cold), he met Vero and it was love at first sight and he was hoping against hope that he was wrong and that it was Virginia that was the culprit, but all the circumstantial evidence...even from Vero’s mouth... when she told Martin that If something happened to Dim that it was his destiny... led him to believe that she was the one. To add insult to injury, she is nothing like he thought she would be, so in his mind, he is either crazy or she is a great actress, but the facts are that his brother is dead, he has a necklace that says V Prado Castelo and he hears V-Snake telling the whole family that Vero had an affair with Dim and she changes men the way she changes her underwear.
Let’s be honest, if we saw Virginia and Veronica across a room and we had to guess which one was a femme fatale, I think most of us would have picked Veronica based on looks alone.
V-snake not only knows how to play the innocent role, but she also dresses the part. She wears a head piece with every freaking outfit for god sake (symbol...HALO...little girl) and she is always in these very girlie girlie outfits that makes her look “oh so fragile”. Cut the guy the some slack.
And my two cents for what it is worth... it is not ManUAL Labor that is the issue, but “ManUEL LABOR” Manuel is a Latin name, hence the connotation. I am far from the PC police, but I get it. As a black woman, I do not condone the “N" word under any circumstances even when I hear a minority person using it.
Superb recap Mauricio! Thank you!
Ivan is doing a great job of making his character so believable. Ana Brenda is doing the same. I hope that they do another TN together. The intensity is terrific and I am really enjoying the show and look forward to every episode and recap. Can't wait for Emiliano to arrive on the scene. That should put Martin on notice. Magdalena is beginning to wear on me, although I am sympathetic, the constant crying is always over the top in TNs. It really gets old. She has been without her daughter for quite awhile. Pierre is way too sticky and ingratiating for me, but he does add some very good contrast.
So now let's see what destiny has in store for Virginia, Claudia and Manuel.
Gale
Claudia could fall for pierre.
Virginia could loose her memory, and end up a nun. God help us.
Auntyann, so many of your thoughts on the Martin/Vero relationship are spot on with my thoughts. These two are seriously hurt and need each other. It's such a relief they are moving forward in a positive way with their relationship, and I hate to think it can get messed up at any moment. These two scores have great chemistry together.
I'm also enjoying Blanquita very much as well as her little brother Polo. Hope to see more of her developing relationship with that cute guy, can't remember his name now.
