Yo No Creo En Los Hombres- Looking for a replacement

Hello all . As you may have noticed I have not been active much regarding No Creo recaps. At the eve of the new semester I have begun experiencing troubles on a personal scale. It has been getting tough to get used to it while following shows at the same time. It's easier and more relaxing watching shows than doing something detailed about  them like writing summaries.
I admit that at first when I began writing it felt short term but then I began learning more and more I realized that you are either on a podium or you are not on a podium at all.

During my short term absence I have been fairly surprised that many people are eager to help me out just to not disappoint our  readers.   .  If you can find anyone willing to do it than I would be most pleased.

Participating  on other projects is very unlikely but I will definitely keep mark of the blog because the people on it are unlike anything I have experienced on the Web. There are many shows getting released that I am looking forward to such as Pasion Y Poder , Gran Hotel, Amor De Barrio and  Corazon Que Miente so I am definitely not out of this world even if it it sounds weird  for a man . I have learned a lot from writing here and have enjoyed it very much.

Desperately Seeking a Recapper

Patio peeps, sadly we lost a recapper on the Imperdonable team so we have an open spot for Wednesday nights, I would continue to write the recaps myself but I'm committed to MIVC on the same night and can't do two recaps in one night, plus I also have my regular spot on Tuesday night's, that's three recaps in two days!

This is where you come in! If you would like to recap you can have the Wednesday night spot! We can't offer much in the way of compensation, but we might be able to throw in some gold, because Novela Maven knows a guy that knows a guy, some good company on the patio and the opportunity to have first dibs when the new Salinas/Colunga novela rolls in later this fall.

Oh yes, you heard that right. Salinas, and Colunga sharing the same space! You dear potential recapper have a shot of getting on that recapping team if you join us on the LI team.

Please let us know as we really, really,really need the help!

*Discalimer, we really can't offer gold but we do have Salinas and Colunga, which some would argue are better than gold, especially Colunga when he takes his shirt off!*

New Telenovela: Lo imperdonable starts May 18, 2015

After complaints that some of our plot summaries were full of spoilers, here is a brief one for the upcoming Lo imperdonable. If you want to recap, write me at caray@mappamundi.com - blog mom.

Martín (Iván Sánchez) hurries to Mina Escondida after getting an urgent letter from his brother begging to be rescued from the hell in which he's living. On arrival, Martin despairs upon finding out that Demetrio (Pablo Montero), his brother, has committed suicide. His sorrow is transformed into hatred and a thirst for vengeance against the woman who caused his brother suffering and brought him to death.

Full of resentment, Martín swears before the tomb of his brother that he will get revenge against this ruthless woman, he will cause her to fall in love and he will drag her to the green hell of this jungle in which he will despise her as she despised his brother.

The first clue to the culprit's identity is a medallion his brother always kept with him, engraved with the name "V. Prado Castelo." Martin returns to the capital, knowing that Prado Castelo is the biggest jewelry business in the country. He aims to grow close to the family. He makes the acquaintance of Emiliano (Sergio Sendel), only heir to the fortune, newly arrived in México after years of absence.

Martín meets Verónica (Ana Brenda) and Virginia (Grettell Valdez), Emiliano's cousins who were adopted by the elder Prado Castelo. Martín is struck by Veronica's beauty and her force of character. He is not, however, her only admirer: Emiliano has returned with the intention of marrying her, having loved her since childhood - not realizing the one who is obsessed with him is Virginia.

Little by little Martin falls in love with Verónica but believes the lies Virginia tells about her, including that she had caused Demetrio to fall in love and had then abandoned him….

New Telenovela: Que Te Perdone Dios, Starts January 19th

If you have seen the mysterious ads then you know that a new telenovela, Que Te Perdone Dios, is starting January 19th on Univision in the 10pm slot replacing La Malquerida. It's produced by Angelli Nesma Medina (Lo Que La Vida Me Robo) and stars Rebecca Jones, Sergio Goyri, Zuria Vega and Mark Tacher. This joint Televisa-Univision telenovela will premier in the United States first, and then in Mexico in February. Because of this, there aren’t many images or info available. You might ask, what happened to all those other tns that started in Mexico in 2014 that we have heard so much buzz about? When are we going to get to see Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, La Sombra del Pasado, or El Color de la Pasión? Who knows!  If you are interested in recapping Que Te Perdone Dios, please contact Blog Mom Jane/Melinama at: caray@mappamundi.com

Here is the history of the telenovela: It was first written by Caridad Bravo Adams as the film Pecado Mortal (1955), starring Gloria Marín, young Silvia Pinal, and Víctor Junco; adapted as the telenovela Pecado Mortal (1960), starring Amparo Rivelles, Elsa Cardenas, and Tito Junco; and remade as the telenovela Abrázame Muy Fuerte (2000), starring Victoria Ruffo, Aracely Arámbula, and Cesar Evora (and Fernando Colugna as the young hero).  As Univision hasn’t released a synopsis for Que Te Perdone Dios, here is the synopsis for Abrázame Muy Fuerte.

[This one starts next Monday, 3/10/14]

Natalia and Diego meet during a festival of Tuxpan Veracruz fishermen, where Natalia will be crowned queen.  Love springs forth from the first instant in which they see each other.  Both are completely ignorant about who each is, which is no obstacle when beginning their romance.

For this reason Natalia doesn’t learn that Diego has a twin brother, Rodrigo, who has competed all his life with him.  He, when learning about his brother’s new romance, has no qualms about impersonating him. And, the night of Natalia’s coronation he shows up as his brother, Diego.

Qué Pobres Tan Ricos (How rich poor people are) synopsis!

Sorry to be so late, folks. This looks like fun. Even though it's late, I'm considering taking a day. We have space for others. See sidebar.

The Rich Learn a Lesson

A story of love, romance, and amusing situations; families that have nothing in common but are now obliged to live in the same house: on one side, Los Ruizpalacios, millionaires of great social background and on the other Los Menchaca, a classic family of the barrio.

It begins when grandmother Mati Ruizpalacios can no longer run the family business. Her favorite grandson Miguel Ángel - who has been living in London for 11 years - must return to Mexico because his grandfather Don Aureliano's will states: "The company will go to the first of my grandsons who gets formally married and has a son."

Miguel's cousin Alejo is an ambitious enemy who involves Miguel in a dirty fraud and causes him and his family to lose their fortune and all their property except one piece of land in the La Nopalera neighborhood on which, surprisingly, the Menchaca family is now living.

Don Chuy Menchaca is a retired fighter called "The Son of Sumatra" who, many years ago, knew Don Aureliano Ruizpalacios, to whom he has been paying off the property mortgage little by little.

After the death of the rich empresario, the debt was never settled because Don Chuy doesn't have the deed for the property where he has not only his house but also a modest gymnasium that isn't earning much money these days and which he's thought about transforming into a home-style Mexican resturant with the help of his sons José Tizoc and Perla Ivette and his eldest daughter Lupita, who has a son Emiliano (adored by his grandfather).

Don Chuy is forced by circumstances to take in Miguel Angel and his impoverished family; they move to Italia Street in La Nopalera.

For his part, depressed and broke, Miguel Angel comes to live in, or rather endure, the colony La Nopalera. He's accompanied by his odd family: his mother Ana Sofia, an eccentric society woman who organizes charity events but at heart despises those who are not of "her class;" his brother Leonardo, a classic mirey(?) who has studied art in New York; and Frida, his little sister, apparently socially minded but attached to her life of luxury and comfort.

Clashes between the customs and habits of each family are inevitable, it's a funny, chaotic environment. Lupita and Miguel, who start off as the mediators for their families, will end up falling for each other and together confronting adversity to defend their love and overcome all obstacles.
