New Telenovela: Yago begins tonight. Here's a synopsis. Who is in? We need recappers.
Hi friends,
I ordinarily write the synopsis for a new show but because this one is starting tonight I'm giving you one I found elsewhere. If you would like a recapping slot please leave a comment. We need somebody for tonight if possible!
Our main character is Iván Sánchez. (See dreamy picture.) The story begins with Omar Guerrero, a simple young man living in a middle-class neighborhood next to his inseparable best friends Abel (Pablo Valentin) and Lucio (Flavio Medina). Omar’s life changes dramatically when Sara (Gabriela de la Garza) moves into the neighborhood with her father Damián (Manuel Ojeda) and her sister Ámbar (Ximena Romo). Damián is a conman who is about to pull off the perfect heist on the big Casino in the city. Unable to do it alone, he convinces Lucio, Abel and his daughter Sara to involve Omar. Even though Sara has fallen in love with Omar, her father manipulates her to go through with the plan. During the heist, a guard is murdered and Omar is framed for both crimes, and is sentenced to sixty year in prison. While in prison, Omar meets Fidel Yampolski (Patricio Castillo), an old and powerful mafia boss who becomes his mentor. After a prison riot burns the prison down, the two men plot an ingenious revenge; Fidel helps Omar get a new face and a new identity: Yago. Now, twelve years later, Yago has returned to execute his revenge upon the three people who betrayed him. But, will love be stronger than his hunger for vengeance?

Antes muerta que Lichita #115 3/7/16 "El gran final" Part 2
Everybody thought this would be a two-hour episode and I was doing the last hour -- so I'm glad I got home and turned on my dvr halfway through the show. This was without a doubt the worst "grand finale" of any novela I've ever watched. It was so disrespectful to the viewers and also to the crew and actors of the show to chop it up into such a mess. Shame, Univision!
My tape starts after the credits. Two lawyers come to take Mateo away from the Guttierez home - Alicia's custody had been temporary and now it has elapsed. They've come to take him back to an orphanage (? a "governor's house). Sadness and tears. Yet again Mateo is told, "I'll come for you and we'll never be separated." If that kid doesn't spend years in therapy my name is not Sigmund Freud.

Antes muerta que Lichita #115 3/7/16 "El gran final" Part 1
Well, we finally made it to the end and it turned out to be only one hour after all. Anyway, Jane and I are still teaming up to put this one to bed so I will tuck it in and leave it to her to turn off the lights. (So to speak)
Here we go . . .
We pick up the story with Augusto confronting Alicia about the papers she has that belong to him and telling her he has never ever ever in his life forgiven a betrayal. He tells her not to make him look like a fool and asks her if the papers were the only reason she came. He wants to know why she would pay him back like this. Then he is right back in her face when she asks him if he thinks it was nothing what he did to Roberto: making him end up in jail again on his account. Augusto cannot believe that she could be in love with that imbecile. He cannot believe that he Augusto de Toledo Y Mondragón has fallen into her trap. He is at first incredulous but then he applauds her for having done it. She isn't just some social climber; she's a master of her craft. Alicia admits to us that there was some truth in his words. Alicia tells him she is sorry if she really broke his heart. He grabs her and again is in her face. Augusto tells her that he never thought it was possible for anyone to hurt him the way that she has. Anyway, it is too late to help out "her" Roberto. She wants to know what he did to Roberto. He screams that "her" Roberto is dead and throws her back on the bed. Alicia is shocked.

At hospital, poor Gumaro runs in to the bathroom but Mateo is nowhere to be found… Draco is following a shadow he saw go by… I don’t think he figured it was Gumaro. Needless to say, Gumaro does not find Mateo… Valeria calls him to find out what happened… he says surely Mateo was taken back to the Penthouse… Gumaro meets up back with Valeria and Luciana. Luciana thanks them for caring for her, she feels like they are her family. Vale says … well… we are.

Antes muerta que Lichita #113 Thursday 3/3/16
Last recap for Lichita. Thanks everyone for making this a fun experience once again! Until next time!
This was a long episode with much going on so lets jump right in!
For a person who just got arrested, Roberto seems very calm. Only when Augusto walks into the API office with his tsk tsk attitude did Roberto throw a disgusted glance his way. The API trio are shocked that corruption befell them and ask the wrong person (Augusto) how this could have happened. Augusto fishes for clues and asks if the API trio have another suspect/fall guy in mind. These dunces think this was a one man show and regret that Augusto moved on from API.
Valeria and Luciana discuss the epic attack Augusto faced from the exes...Val, Bea and Sandra. More surprising to Valeria was Alicia defending and supporting Augusto. She just cannot understand since Alicia was raised in such a nice family. Luciana is not so understanding and believes that Malicia is just plain deceitful, horrible person. On to more important topics....Luci confides in Val about the suspiciousness of her father's (Rafael's) death. Luci has a hunch that Augusto has something to do with it. They both confront Dafne when they realize she was the last one who spoke to Rafael before he died.

Antes muerta que Lichita #112 Wednesday 3/2/16 "Augusto Confronted by Three Fates Plus One Fist"
Well, this is my last recap for "Lichita." So, I would like to thank everyone who stopped by the patio, those commenters who kept me company with their interesting points of view and lively discussions as well as my fellow recappers Jane, Ezra, CeCe and Marta who all made this such a fun experience. I hope to see some familiar faces on the patio for "Sueño de amor" next week. We could also use some additional recappers. If you are interested, contact Jane.
Now on with our story . . . at Icónika
We left Alicia being sexually pressured by Augusto but responding by screaming back at him in his face. Augusto comes to his senses, backs down and apologizes for his behavior. Alicia says okay to his apology but she is tired and they can talk later. He then expresses how much he wants to start a new life with her, to marry her and have children with her. Augusto laughs that he could be a father and grandfather at the same time. Alicia is puzzled for a second. He lets it drop that Luciana is pregnant. Alicia now has something new to consider. Augusto asks for a goodnight kiss. She kisses Augusto on the forehead. After he leaves, Alicia thinks about the "news". It was unexpected but she already had decided to run the risk of her plan because of her love for Roberto and nothing would change that even if he had chosen to be with someone else. But then she starts thinking about Luciana and Gumaro and what Mateo is doing at Augusto's penthouse and wondering why he is not with his father like he should be. Evidently Augusto has Roberto in a bind. Alicia has a lot to think about.

Lichita 3/2
Hi guys! This will be my last blog for Lichita, and It's unfortunate that my recorder had such terrible reception for it (I left out the bits that were too garbled to understand, so please fill in the stuff I missed)! Still, it's been a pleasure, thanks for being a great audience!
Alicia tries to get Gumaro to give her the real dirt on Beto. He mostly just tells her she needs to be easier on him, the two of them came from tragic origins and Sheila really knocked Beto off the straight and narrow.

Antes muerta que Lichita February 29: Lichita continues to recover from her evil spell, but accepts Augusto's attentions.
- Augusto continues to breathe down Alicia's neck asking her to become his lover. She flirts and puts him off but finally says yes, for Beto's sake. He announces their "formal relationship" in front of all Ikonika. Beto is disgusted. She is congratulated for rising to the top of the food chain.
- Beto had managed to spend the night with Mateo in Augusto's penthouse (thereby conveniently hearing Augusto panting over Alicia). They later discuss how much Mateo has been asked to conceal (by Beto, by Sheila, by Augusto) and Mateo promises to help Beto so they can go away and live together forever. Beto tells Luciana the escape must be soon, and that Gumi is key because he's one of Augusto's bodyguards.

Antes Muerta que Lichita #109 Alicia, or should we say not so little red ridinghood, starts to put the puzzle together ... but might be putting herself in the wolf's mouth
SOrry this is long, but it was a key fast moving episode... here we go...
Luciana can’t
believe Roberto asking her to flee… (I agree, Ingrid Martz is great in this
type of character)… Luciana goes home
and tells Valeria all about Roberto’s request and that Roberto’s son IS
real. And that is why Roberto is doing
everything Augie wants, he has him locked in the penthouse. Valeria asks if we leave, what about Gumaro,
the baby daddy?
At
hospital/clinic, Nestor thanks Alicia for coming to visit him… no one else has
come to visit him (not his baby mama, even if he has been supporting them
financially all this time and he spent half his life with them only for her to
cheat on him with his best friend). HE admits he has not been the best man, but
he is not that filth that most people believe.
Alicia tells us that even her have come to build a soft spot for
Nestor. She wonders what is Roberto’s
back story.
Sandra later
meets with Alicia, they are talking about the campaign for some toy
manufacturer. Augie comes in and is surprised that Sandra and Alicia are
working together on anything. Fatima prevents any sparks and takes Sandra away.
Gumaro is
outside the office faking being the carbon copy of that other guy, on phone with
Roberto. Roberto recommends to Gumaro to
keep trying with Luciana so she will forgive him. Roberto reminds GUmaro that they are still
bros and comrades. Now that he and Luciana are gone then he will be free to
move around as he needs.
Alicia tells
Augie that he feels free to come in whenever through a door that no one ever
used before… HE tells her that the accident has made him think about some
things… he says after all he and her are very similar… they both would go to
any measure to get what they want. HE
had not told her that when very young, he was taken away from his mother’s
arms.
Fatima asks
Sandra what is bothering her so much.
Sandra is jealous that Augie even uses the ‘secret door’ to be with Alicia
whenever he wants. Fatima says she knows
Alicia enough to assure Sandra that Alicia would not submit to that kind of
relationship with Augie. Sandra says
after 10 years of dedicating to him, all she got was a dark apartment. She did
not deserve that.
Augie tells
Alicia that the TOledos dragged him into that house and away from his mother
against his will. Alicia says now she
understands why he never lifted a finger against Roberto when she gave him Roberto’s
files. Maybe because they both started from the bottom. Augie says he has not forgotten anything
about that file, He is only waiting for the right moment to make a move. HE
asks her in return, is she planning her own revenge against Roberto? She assures him she is looking for justice,
not revenge. Augie gets a call and sends
Alicia away.

Thanks Carvivlie and Jarifa for filling in!!
Alicia has made her turn for the good and at a meeting with the staff talked about no more abuse or making fun of people. Elias thought great idea and made mention of getting rid of it bec it had been around for years.
The staff, minus Chuchette, is on a bus to go to a client(?) with Nestor driving. Looks like he is texting, looking at his phone and they get into an accident. Apparently two of the employees are hurt bad, Nestor and someone else we don't see. Nestor needs blood but he has a rare type. Guess who has it? Alex. So Alex gives blood and Alicia tells Nestor and Nestor is super unhappy. But Alicia tells him that it saved his life. Alex comes in the room and gives Nestor a lesson on how gay people are the same as everyone else etc. Nestor seems to really take it to heart and thanks Alex for saving his life and thanks him for the lesson.

Antes muerta que Lichita #107 Wednesday 2/24/16. "Alicia's Conscience Returns"
After Augusto's declaration of looooove, Alicia says she now knows why she got the award. Augusto insists she got it on her own. His feelings had nothing to do with it. Augusto asks her not to close the door on him. He wants her to let him win her heart. She does not know what to say. In that case, he says it is better to not say anything. Tomorrow they will be back at work as if nothing happened. He pushes her trophy to her. Congratulations! Alicia is very somber through all of this. The expression on her face does not change.
Sandra is sneaking around Icónika. She ends up in Augusto's office entering through the secret panel where she runs into Elías rummaging through Augusto's desk. They are both surprised by the other's presence. Elías wants to know if she is there looking for revenge on Augusto. Of course not she answers. She reminds him about how he always hated Augusto. Elías says he really does now because Augusto used him to frame Beatriz at the motel with the photos. Sandra is shocked. Fátima comes in and wants to know why they are in Augusto's office. It was locked. They make up a story that they heard something in the office (maybe an animal or Godzilla) so they went in to investigate. Elías and Sandra do their Godzilla imitation as they walk out. Fátima clearly does not believe them but does her own Godzilla imitation, too.

Nandicta has said she'd like to recap this one. Other takers? Contact me at caray@mappamundi.com
Dream of Love tells the story of Esperanza and Ricardo and their desire to find each other again twenty years after living the intensity of first love. But today their lives are very different ...
Esperanza is a single mother and teacher in two different schools: in the exclusive Institute Palacios and also in the simple College Vasconcelos. She struggles every day to get ahead.
Meanwhile, in Los Angeles Ricardo is married to Tracy, a woman who puts puts her profession ahead of their children, Rodrigo and Selena. For this reason Ricardo is practically a "single" parent who must combine parenthood with his work as an agent of Interpol.
Life reunites them when Ricardo arrives, as an undercover agent, at Institute Palacios; he is following the trail of the terrible criminal "La Sombra".
Betty Monroe -- Esperanza Guerrero: a friendly, patient, fair and brave teacher. She is the mother and father at the same time and gives unreservedly to her family. She has dreams: to have her family improve its station in life, to build a school for poor children, and above all to see Richard, the love of her life, again.
Cristián de La Fuente -- Ricardo Alegría: the man who fought for the American dream and got it. He's an Interpol agent and the father of two wonderful children. But living with his wife Tracy has become untenable. Ricardo will have the good fortune to reunite with the love of his life. With patience and a lot of affection, they will establish a "reconstructed family" with all their children.
Carmen Salinas -- Margarita Manzanares: bold, cheerful and witty. She's a lively granny who understands technology. She always gives the right advice and wants to help her family find happiness. There is conflict with her daughter Silvana, director of the pompous Institute Palacios bombastic while Margarita runs the simple College Vasconcelos.
La sombra: a very dangerous international criminal, an art and jewel thief and jewels willing to do anything to get what he wants. He's been a nightmare not only for police but also for Ricardo and his family. He can even abandon his identity so nobody can catch him.
Sabine Moussier -- Tracy Kidman: Ricardo's capricious, impatient and selfish wife. For her the job comes first, she neglects her marriage and children. But as soon as she realizes Ricardo and his family can find happiness, she'll do what she can to become their nightmare. She is American and has little command of Spanish.
El Chapo de Sinaloa -- Jerónimo Durán: a very cheerful and hardworking bricklayer whose talent for singing may turn him into the builder of his own dream.

Lichita 2/23
At the shoot with all the babies, Luci is aghast at all the little dwarves. Especially when Xuxette catches her holding one! Then when its mother/handler takes it away she cries a bit.
Sandra comes for her meeting with Alicia. Elias is happy to see her but she blows him off. At the meeting, Alicia rubs it in about how when she wanted her job back Sandra was mean. She says she'll be MUCH meaner in response.
Luci admits in a whisper to Beto that she's pregnant. Augusto, with his customarily impeccable timing for eavesdropping, overhears this and delights in the news!

Un camino hacia el destino - synopsis in English
Starting at 6:30 pm tonight!! Anybody want to recap this one? Contact me at caray@mappamundi.comSetting: the hacienda of the Altamirano family. Fernando Altamirano (Red Gustavo), head of the family, is a widower and the father of Amelia (Lisette Morelos), the eldest daughter, and Mariana (Ana Patricia Rojo), the apple of his eyes.
Pedro Perez (Jorge Aravena) is gardener on the estate. He has secretly loved Amelia forever. But she's in love with Luis Montero (René Strickler), an ambitious young law student.
At the age of 18 Amelia gives herself to Luis and becomes pregnant. But Luis rejects her in order to marry Marissa Gomez Ruiz (Eugenia Cauduro), a widow millionaire banker. Somehow Don Fernando comes to believe the child Amelia is expecting is Pedro's - he throws both of them out of the house.
Pedro marries Amelia and for love of her assumes paternity of the child whom Amelia christens Luisa Fernanda (Paulina Goto). (Luisa for the real dad and Fernanda for the grandfather).
Luis and Marissa's wedding takes place quickly because she has to go to Spain for bank business. She ends up paying for Luis to study law in Spain.
Marissa has a son, Carlos Gomez Ruiz (Horacio Pancheri), who despite his young age is not deceived. He's always known Luis is a playboy who married his mother for money. This makes for an awful relationship between Luis and Carlos.
Years pass ... Luisa Fernanda is a beautiful young lady of 18, who is finishing high school and has two passions in life: she plays the violin beautifully though she's never studied it, and she loves gardening, which she learned from her father Peter.
A meeting led by fate makes Luis run over Fernanda, ending at the hospital where Carlos works ...

Antes muerta que Lichita - Malicia on the Road to Hell.
Between the almost total lack of subtitles and the choppy, helter-skelter episode, I missed a lot, so please add in whatever.
- Dressed as a fallen angel in black with creepy black wings, Alicia nails the toilet paper account. Braulio is stunned: "She used my movie, my life, so people will wipe themselves with this toilet paper."

Antes Muerta que Lichita #104 ALicia presents her angelic toilet paper campaign... but is it really hers??
Augie keeps
mocking Roberto that now he is basically deep in the mudd (too far inside the
deal to come out clean).
Alicia can’t
believe her family are rolling the red carpet for Valeria, the mother o the woman
who did her so much harm. Alicia talks to Ximena about this, they knock fists
saying they are successful gals.
Valeria is
eating with Luciana just outside the cafecito… Luciana is eager to tell Valeria
about the new campaign she is WORKING ON at the office. Valeria considers it refreshing after she had
been laying around doing nothing… Did Valeria just call Luciana lazy?
(floja)? Luciana keeps thinking
everything about Valeria and her new job is ‘third-worldly’. Valeria is so sad
to hear her daughter talk so frivolous. Valeria tells her she, on the contrary,
feels good working. She wishes Luciana
good luck with her other coffee brand campaign.
Luciana leaves. Valeria tries to apologize to the Gutierrez, they say no
need, Nacho is not so subtle, rather very straight in his criticism of Luciana.
The API old
guys are mocking Augie about Alex getting married WITH ANOTHER MAN. Roberto asks them how come they are so
informed when the campaign was targeted specifically to the internet and to a
very specific audience… Augie takes the
chance to slip away.
Alicia and
Augie are meeting in his office. He is
surprised to see that she is nervous… he does believe in her abilities. She says this campaign is very important and
there are also some family issues that have her a bit distracted but she
assures him she will figure it all out.
He keeps trying to get her to tell him more about the personal stuff. She
does slip that she feels like she doesn’t have so much in common with her
relatives anymore, that they don’t seem to appreciate all she has done for
them, and that makes her feel a bit guilty.
He encourages her to think of herself before others. HE says he too feels betrayed by the family
he once had worked so hard for. Alicia
backsteps and says what’s important is the presentation so she is heading to
give it one last pass. On her way out
she turns around and asks if he is ok, he responds with a deflated sigh, yeah I’m
always ‘alright’. She leaves.
We have a
product placement and commercial from Shushette telling Fatima about her
AWESOME Payless shoes. Fatima wants
SHushette to locate the reception girls for her.
Magos meets
with her friends again, she shares with them that her folks think she is
studying and at school. She briefly
considers ‘un acordeon’ (a cheat sheet). But she still has a little hope that
she will remember enough of the class to pass.
Fatima goes
to see Alicia and tells her Luciana’s presentation to the People’s cafe client
right at the same time Alicia is presenting her own campaign to the
clients. Alicia is not happy to hear
that. She won’t let Luciana do her presentation to Santy’s representative
today. Fatima asks her if she is mad at Luciana. Alicia says ‘me mad at Luciana? no way!’ (LOL!)
At the API,
the old guys are meeting with Roberto about the financial reports. Roberto is not really with his head in there
so he apologizes and cuts the meeting short.
Elias is
giving Alicia some final seconds encouragement and help with her ‘wings’. They walk
in the room. Alicia has feathery wings on the back of her suit jacket. Nestor
whispers that she looks ridiculous. (the campaign is about toilet paper LOL!) The
client LOVES the campaign ideas.
(angelic toilet paper LOL) The client keeps talking about how much he
loves the campaign when Luciana comes in yelling rants about Alicia cancelling/postponing
Luciana’s presentation to People’s café.
Alicia apologizes to the folks at the meeting about Luciana, who usually
can control her temper… Luciana yells more stuff, showing off the LACK of her
ability to control herself.

Antes muerta que Lichita #103 Thursday 2/18/16 "The Dark Angel has Arrived"
Apparently the show was preempted last night due to an award show. This episode will probably air tonight. Sorry about that guys :/
Read more »
Augusto congratulates Roberto for joining the dark side. Roberto is not as thrilled. He is just doing this for his son. When Roberto tries to get touchy feely with Augusto Draco shows his gun. Too bad...the API trio enter and interrupt the tense situation.
Luciana visits the cafecito like she sometimes does to see Valeria. This time Alicia is there and she is none too happy about this. Tensions are high but Alicia uses Ximena as an excuse to leave Luciana's presence. In the fourth wall Alicia cannot believe that her own parents are rolling out the carpet for her enemy. She understands Valeria's actions but not those of her family who are supposed to be by her side and not support the enemy that made her life miserable when she was Lichita.

Antes muerta que Lichita #102. Wednesday 2/17/16.
Here we go. . .
Isidro is surprised to hear that his daughter Brisa quit. Fátima tells him he now has no reason to come around.
Augusto tells Draco how he is now the only owner of Icónika which he built all by himself. He cannot believe how many years he wanted to own it all and that it just took a few stupid photos to blackmail Beatriz into selling her shares to him. He tells Draco to prepare himself because turbulent times are coming.
Roberto wastes time with Mateo calling Gumaro and not telling him anything he wants to hear or know.
Alicia is left holding the bag with the director because Braulio did not show for the second time. The director is pissed. Alicia turns to Braulio's script and thinks about maybe using it in an ad campaign. She would not be robbing anything just taking advantage of something Braulio never would. Anyway, it would be just the same as others had done to her. Elías hears her talking to herself in her office and comes in to investigate. She does the "Elías going crazy" imitation. Liberty! Fraternity! Equality! she yells ripping off her own jacket.
Braulio catches up with Brisa before she gets on the plane for Timbuktu.

lichita 2/16:
Carmona comes to arrest Sheila! on accusations of fraud! Beto grumpily watches, and later muses about whether Augusto will even bring his kid back.
Carmona's packet had the contact info for some mysterious witnesses who all denounced Sheila for fraud. So Beto's off the hook for now. I still can't tell if he actually just sent the packet or if he's claiming credit for it.
Brisa and braulio share a romantic moment and a kiss that surprises them both. Then back to business!
Sandra and Malicia's conflict comes to a head when Mr. Foster flips about the fake video he got from Sandra. Sandra loses and storms off, and Mr. Foster says he never trusted the stuff he was getting from Sandra anyway. He'll give her one more chance with one of his brands. The first famous brand for her to work with: Angelic Toilet Paper!
