New Telenovela: A Que No Me Dejas, Starts Monday, September 12, 2pm/1c. Synopsis And Cast
Looneyvision has finally deigned to air “A Que No Me Dejas” (“I Dare You To Leave Me”), the 2015 novela acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, in Mexico and the rest of Latin America.
“A Que No Me Dejas” was the biggest winner at Premios TVyNovelas 2016. It scooped up best script and/or adaption, best direction, best cinematography, best musical theme, best veteran actress and actor for Leticia Calderón and Arturo Peniche respectively, best female antagonist for Laura Carmine and, dare I say, it should have received the best male protagonist prize too, because Osvaldo Benavides deserved it heaps more than any other nominee in that category. The same producer, Carlos Moreno Laguillo, and the same writing duo, Martha Carrillo and Cristina García, that gave us such gems as “Amor Bravío”, “Quiero Amarte” and “En Nombre del Amor”, now bring us this remake of Carla Estrada’s “Amor en Silencio” (1988).

Yago #65. Monday September 5, 2016. GRAN FINAL: Destiny Doesn't Believe in Second Chances
 |
| This is about the happiest thing you are going to find in this recap. |
At a glance
-- A very unhappy ending.
A closer look
Flashback. Years ago. Sara and Omar are at the fair. Sara reveals that, sometimes, she feels she was born to lose because she has never managed to win any of these games before. She tries a game and loses the first shot. Omar offers to help her out. They make the shot together and end up winning the game. Omar believes that, together, the two of them can achieve anything. The booth operator tells Sara she can pick any of the plush toys as her prize. However, she shyly confesses that her prize was having met Omar. The lovers kiss tenderly as Sara narrates: “There are loves that make everything appear possible. There are loves that manage to make time disappear and everything gets suspended for one perfect moment.”

Yago #64. Thursday September 1, 2016. Hell Hath No Fury Like A Lucio Scorned
 |
| Bésame mucho. Tickle me with your beard mucho. |
At a glance
-- Just read on. I don’t have the heart to tell you here.
A closer look
The episode opens up with a replay of Yago’s grand declaration to his tainted love, Sara. If Dusty Springfield sang “Wishin’ and Hopin’” with this pair in mind, it would go something like this: “All you gotta do is hold him and kiss him and frame him and jail him, just do it and after you do, you will be his!”

Yago #63, Wednesday August 31, 2016: Finding Omar
The brief edition:
Ximena "liberates" Yago when she sees that he's still not happy. While Sara campaigns to get Yago back, Yago spends most of the episode trying to find his inner Omar. He also makes a deal with Lucio: Yago will cut Sara loose for good, so Lucio can have her all to himself. In exchange, Lucio will clear the way for Yago to be with Matias.
But Yago changes his mind at the last minute and decides that he cannot be Omar if he doesn't have Sara. So, he reunites with Sara. BOOOOOOOO!
Lucio's gonna be SO mad!
The blow-by-blow: below.

Yago Capitulo 61 August 29,2016: Unfinished sympathy
NOTE: This episode was for strange reasons only 41 minutes long. It ended with Yago&Ximena smooching. No ending soundtrack, no nada. If there were any clips missing please say so in the comments.
Flashback: Omar, Lucio and Abel were having drinks in a bar. Omar is anxious that he is going to leave Sara like that but Lucio&Abel promise to watch over the little serpent. In cue Yago starts narrating that the past never really vanishes but it instead watches us over and often same people are involved.
In the present Yago accompanied by Sara&Abel reveals his true identity to Lucio. He also reminds Lucio of the fateful night in which Lucio planted Omar's fingerprints on the gun. Yago will remember that night forever and ever. Lucio is incredulous to all this doubting everything that Yago is talking about.

New Telenovela: El Color de la Pasion, September 6th Debut
 |
| Marcelo y Lucia, our pretty protagonists (not to be confused with SantMarc y Ana Lucia from 3xAna) |
Next Tuesday, September 6th, is the 2-hour debut of El Color de la Pasión (The Color of Passion) at 7:55pm EST. After sitting for two years on Univision’s shelf, it replaces Narcos, which has been recapped by Countx during its 2-week run, in the 10pm EST slot.
So far, there seems to be lots of interest in watching this popular
telenovela, and also some interest in recapping it from: Delilah, dy77, Anna Nabil, Anita, Jardinera, and Cathyx. I would also be interested in
sharing a night with someone. If those listed are still interested, please
email me and we can decide on a recapping schedule. If others are interested,
please also email me. Gracias, amigas y amigos!

Yago #59, Wednesday August 24, 2016: Party-Poopers
I hope you enjoyed the title, because that's where the fun ends.
(Official episode title: "Deadly Attack." That's not fun at all!)

- Lucio and Camilo set Sara up with a wedding planner to keep her distracted while they plan their totally nonviolent, lightning-fast, surgical strike on Fidel's place to get Julia.
- Julia tries to get Ximena to attend Fidel's going-away party. She is unsuccessful, but a follow-up visit from Yago changes Ximena's mind.
- Katia is allowed to make a supervised phone call to warn about an attack, but no one picks up the phone.
- At the party, Abel asks Julia to marry him, and she accepts.
- The nonviolent, lightning-fast, surgical strike on Fidel's place is a totally sloppy bloodbath from the get-go. It takes forever, and Selma is killed.
- Fidel finds Camilo crying over Selma's body. They struggle, and Camilo shoots Fidel. Julia sees her dead parents and is grabbed by Hernan.

Yago #58: White Lies and Truth Serum
As she’s being kidnapped by Hernan, bound and gagged and
stuffed in the trunk of his car, Selma recalls how her relationship with Fidel
began. She was Camilo’s girlfriend, but she was in love with his married BFF
Fidel and was fighting the mutual attraction. She tells us that she knew
choosing Fidel over Camilo would have consequences, but she preferred to die at
Fidel’s side than to live at Camilo’s.

At Casa Guerrero, Yomar and the family fret about why Camilo
is targeting them (taking away Jonas’ recent furniture contract) and if he
knows Yago is Omar. Yomar thinks this could be the case, and everyone panics.
He then admits to them that Sara knows his real identity, which sends them into
a tizzy, as they are sure she betrayed him and told Camilo. Yomar doesn’t think
so, and Sara comes over and pleads her case. She swears she will never betray
Yomar again like she did in the past. She doesn’t think that Camilo knows Yomar’s
real identity, because surely he would have already done something more serious
to them...

New Telenovelas/Series Coming to Univision- Aug/Sept 2016
Hola Amigos!
Read more »
Here’s an update on some changes coming in the next few
weeks to Univision’s lineup, if you haven’t already seen the ads. Three new
shows are coming our way. Two of them are not so new, as one is a popular
telenovela that aired in Mexico in 2014, and the other already aired as a
Netflix series last year. Keep in mind that Univision has been known to change
its mind often, and last minute. No word yet on if Uni still plans to split Tres Veces Ana into 2 seasons (temporadas), but it seems they don't. If you would like to recap any of these new shows, please let Blog Mom/Jane/Melinama know. Let’s
go in order of Univision start dates…

Yago #55, Wednesday August 17, 2016: All You Need Is Love
Flashback: Sara remembers going to dinner at the Guerrero home to meet Omar's parents. She is nervous. So is he - she's the first girlfriend he's ever brought home to his parents. Sara tells us to treasure the good times.
Sara's nostalgic reverie ends when she sees Ximena sitting in her old spot at Yomar's side. She coolly announces that she's just here to drop Mati off, and then she leaves. No one attempts to introduce the two women to one another.
Sara thinks back to all the times she's had sex with Yago - on the sofa, on the table, in the car... she woefully tells us that at one time she thought she had found love and a true family. But everything can change in an instant. Boo hoo.
At dinner, Mati says he and his mother visited Ambar's grave. He apologizes for yelling at Yago for killing Mati's aunt; Mati knows now that that wasn't true. Yago asks if they can be friends, but Mati says that his parents are divorced because of Yago. Poor Ximena tries to steer the conversation back to dinner-related stuff.

Yago #54: Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
Hola Yago Patio! This episode made me burn with rage at
Lucio. I didn’t know I could hate him more than I did after he aided Ambar’s
murder, but that was just a preview to the hate I feel for him now. -Vivi
Flashback: Katia flashes back to a time many years ago when she was in search of a new, intense high. She had been sent by her usual dealer to a flop house, where dozens of addled-brained drug addicts roamed the halls and filthy rooms. The proprietress of this fine establishment is happy to get a new victim, and instead of giving Katia the cocaine she requests and pays for, she injects a very nervous Katia with her first ever hit of heroine. A new addiction is born. Katia’s voiceover tells us that what drove her to addiction was her compelling need to turn over the reins of her life to someone or something else. “The most dangerous thing about Hell, is that it’s a thousand times more tempting than Heaven.”

Yago #53 Is it a True Truce?
Flashback: Camilo hears a gunshot, runs upstairs and there is Julia, age 3 or so, standing next to a gun she fired on the floor. A worried Camilo hugs her and tells her that he’s going to be more vigilant and watch her more closely. Julia’s voiceover says that unconditional love makes one feel secure and protected. She never thought that that promise of keeping a loved one safe would be so difficult to fulfill. That one day she would have to defend that love from true bullets.
Present day: Julia arrives to save her kidnapper.( I think it odd that they would plot to just kill Camilo outright like this, they’ve had plenty of opportunity in the past to kill him)
Teo grabs her then lets her go, then Yago grabs her, but Teo announces that she’s pregnant, and to be easy with her. Teo won’t be happy until he tells everyone about the pregnancy. I’m trying to keep this recap short. So, needless to say, she foils the plot to kill Camilo. And in the process, Katia tells the entire group that Julia is pregnant.
