IMPERIO DE MENTIRAS

Starts 9/21/20! Two more recappers needed!

                                                 

producer: Gizelle Gonzalez

SINOPSIS:

Elisa Cantu never imagined that the trip from New York, where she resides, to her native Mexico in order to celebrate her birthday with her family, would end in the tragedy that will change her life forever.  Soon, Fate will carry her to meet Leonardo Velasco, a brave police officer who fights to see justice done and who will help her to discover the mystery behind her father, Augusto Cantu's, murder.  Together with her mother, Victoria, and her sisters, Renata and Majo, Elisa will do even the impossible in order to discover the truth; in this way, this will take her to the point of putting at risk her own life and that of her family.

Excellent Jardinera!

Thank you so much and the pictures are of enormous help.

This looks fantastic. Am really looking forward to reading your excellent recaps once again.

Diana
 

Thanks, Jardinera. This looks like it could be good.
 

Great promo JARDINERA.. I've no doubt with you and your great recapping team this show will be a CarayCaray hit and then some. Certainly sounds intriguing.
 

Thanks, Jarifa! I already knew what this is about, but hadn't yet read all the character descriptions. This reads very well, a bit old school (we've been complaining about the lack of more traditional stories recently), but with added modern details.
Can't wait!

Adriana Noel
 

ugh...sorry, I meant Jardinera.
 

Jardinera, thank you so much, amiga. I am happy that we will be watching a show together. This telenovela looks interesting. I didn't recognize Susana Gonzales with those bangs !
 

Jardinera: Excellent job on detailing the cast of characters.
 

Jardinera, thank you very much for this excellent intro complete with cast pictures.

It does look interesting, I'll have to see if I can fit it into my busy schedule   :-)

Andy
 

Jardinera, what an excellent introduction to this crime drama! And the cast pictures will help many easily know who is whom at the get-go. I'm really looking forward to this one and hoping that it generates interest and a good following. I'm expecting very interesting discussion about it.

Update on Team Members--Urban Anthropologist, Jardinera645, Adriana Noel will kick this off, but we are still hoping others will join the team. Blue Lass will be joining them once "Medicos" concludes, and Esther will be subbing. GO IMPERIOS TEAM!!!
 

Hi all you Patio Peeps. Nice to chat with you all again. There may be a new one or two here, so welcome. --Susanlynn, I now have a grammar check that works even on the Caray site so you won't suffer from my improper use of commas(eye roll, je-je) any longer. I have always fought that and think of you when I am uncertain. --Wow! diana, JudyB, Jarifa, Adriana, Susanlynn, Urban, Steve and Andy. Just like old times!

I anticipate art thefts and false insurance claims along with the regular murder mystery, romantic tension, and overall venganza-fest. Camacho plays a wonderful villano and Lety Calderon, I anticipate, will not be a totally white dove in this either. I am not so familiar with the rest of these actors other than our devine Diva del Teatro, Angelique Boyer. So, I too expect the best ride Loonyvision has offered in a long while.

I apologize for initially forgetting to insert that break but it's there now. Also thanks to RGV and BluLass I see the labels and have added them now as well.

I hope all of you are able to get out and about comfortably. I now work from home so I get an extra 60 minutes of free time all to spend on writing recaps, natch, je-je. So far we have Adriana Noel, Urbananthropoligist and myself to recap. If anybody else can volunteer for a night let us know ASAP. Doen't matter how little or much of Spanish you know since a lot of this has English CC's possibly these days. Check back with ya later, amig@s!!
