La Sombra del Pasado #24 3-20-15 A Sanctuary without Peace



Rewind
Humberto says nobody in the house values what he does!  Val says her father is trying to swindle the father of the man she’s going to marry!  She thinks this can affect her marriage to Cristobal!

In a tearful embrace, Adelina asks Aldonza to pardon her if she ever in the future fails her or is not forthright with her.

Moving Forward
Padre Jeronimo and Lulu are in the Church office looking for  baptismal records of children born the year his brother died, 1988.  He pours through the first of three large 3 ring binders she locates.

Lola seeks advice from  Doña Irma on how to snag that special man.  Irma shares how she took the initiative, set the bait and reeled in Uriel.  Lola is surprised that Irma is so liberal in her thinking.  Well, appearances can be deceiving or, as the saying goes:  caras vemos, corazones no sabemos;   we see faces, but we don’t know the hearts.

Ay, pobrecito de Cris, he can’t have one private moment or thought.  Cande has invaded his room to ask him if he still feels anything for Aldonza and he blows a gasket!  He’s tired of everybody asking him the same thing over and over!  She asks if he’s not interested in her, why is he so pissed?  Candela should go back and read the first sentence in this paragraph!  Cande advises that his reaction is abnormal, as is his doubt in his Father’s Word, which Cris denies.  Cande looks down her nose and asks him to think about what he’s saying and he’ll realize SHE is right.  Cris seems to subtly gasp for the air Candela has sucked out of the room.  She leaves and he takes the escapulario from his neck, looks at it and then flings it on the floor.  He gets up, throws his hands in the air and wonders aloud what the heck is happening to him now.

La Sombra del Pasado #23 3/19/15

In the interest of full disclosure I should tell you this is half-assed.

Directo al grano
Candelaria (Cande) tells Severiano(Sev) to tell Cristobal(Cris) what Aldonza did to him. In Sev's telling, Aldonza is a nutcase who stabbed him simply because he told her to leave Cris and Valeria(Val) alone. Cris doesn't buy it. Cande jumps in and tells him that yes, Aldonza is capable. It's in her blood. She's just like her mother if not worse. Cris wants to know why his father didn't tell him about this yesterday (remember? Cris asked him that what was wrong.) Sev didn't want to unfairly malign Aldonza (note the eyeroll from Cande.) Sev reiterates that Aldonza is mentally unbalanced, but if it will make Cris feel better he'll file a report with the police. Cris doesn't think that's necessary. Like Sev said...Aldonza needs professional help. Not jail. After Cris leaves Sev tells Cande what a stupid stunt she pulled. He walks away and ignores her insistence that they talk.

Adelina is glad Aldonza finally talked to Lola. Aldonza is glad she did too. Adelina is glad to see Aldonza happy again...not sad and wanting vengeance. Aldonza tells Adelina about Emanuel's visit and how Lola got jealous. Adelina thinks Aldonza needs to explain to Lola that Emmanuel is just a dear friend...but Adelina does think Emanuel is super guapo. Oh! Oh! It's practically confirmed that Emanuel is Roberta's lost child!! Aldonza says he's just like a brother to her! Aldonza doesn't want Lola angry at her because of Emmanuel.

Update:Here is the recap for Capitulo  43  ,courtesy of TN4Ever who volunteered to recap today instead of me and i thank him/her very much for her efforts!

La Sombra del Pasado #22 - Wed 3/18 - Do tell!

Sev finishes up his little offended innocent act for the Padre and stalks off.  He's approached by Abelardo.  Bad timing, dude.  No, you may NOT have an advance on your salary!  Abelardo keeps on walking, right past Candela who is continuing the lies and backing Sev up.  Candela should be in politics.  She managed to say "My husband is an honest man" without conveying even the slightest hint of disgust…no, that she saved for Aldonza and the ridiculous assertion that she must be some kind of liar because "We all know her mother."  Padre J reminds her that Aldonza and her mother are two separate people.  And besides, Roberta is dead.  "I think you trust in your husband too much."  Cande says of course she trusts him!  He's her husband!  She knows him better than anyone!  Padre J calls BS…uh, in a completely clerical way…asking if she knows him SO well, if there's SUCH great communication between them, then why didn't she have any idea about him being stabbed?  'Cause he could tell she was just hearing the news.  Why wouldn't she have been informed, sine her husband has such a clean, clear conscience?  Padre J leaves her to stew.

3/18 Tue Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Zona Peligrosa! Zona Peligrosa!


 Depa de Irais – No means no
Matias is all hot and bothered with Joveth and he's all over her.  “¡Zona Peligrosa! ¡Zona Peligrosa!” she warns.  Dimwit apparently doesn't realize this means no and asks if he can stay.  She says of course not.  “Well, that's because you've never had an extreme experience with the Master Chocolatier!”  Seriously? He continues kissing her and has her down on the couch, momentarily.  Joveth pushes him away telling him this can't be, she hasn't even talked to Irais.  This can't be right.  Matias argues Irais is surely asleep by now.  “Come on, my Goddess of the Disco.  I want to kiss you, and caress you without limits, without censure!”  She tells him not to take advantage of an inebriated woman.  He says he's not taking advantage, he's just letting the love flow.  Here comes Irais to the rescue, in rollers and wearing a face mask.  “AHEM” Matias and Joveth hurriedly pull apart and he leaves.  Irais is understandably angry and starts in on Joveth about finding a job to share costs.  Joveth, as usual, just makes lame excuses.  She starts to say she and Matias aren't......but Irais doesn't want to hear it.  “I'm not saying this only because of Matias.  Your little boyfriend won't be able to keep up with you.”  Joveth is dismayed and becomes frantic to learn Matias may be a pobretón (poor)!  Irais suggests she ask him directly.

Que Te Perdone Dios: Wed. Mar. 18th Discussion Page

(My schedule changed and I was unable to write a recap or to even see the episodio yet.   Thanks to Diana, TN4ever, Novella Lover,ViviDC and La Paloma for what follows...)

Diana watched with raised eyebrow as Mateo and Abi shared short, sweet kisses, the yearning lovers looking solemn and not at all happy. As Mateo mounted his steed and rode away, Diana angrily confronted Abi and a full blown altercation, down and dirty, ensued. As screaming and hair pulling continued, Benito pulled the two apart. Threats were uttered...

The catfight between Abi and Diana involved a miracle--no wardrobe malfunction with Abi's strapless bustier. She must have been using some super two-sided tape to keep it in place.

Tia Mia came to visit Simona and discussed Tono as Julio's son (?). They gave him to Simona to raise, but now that money is short, Mia needs cash from Simona. Simona says she doesn't have it and Mia insists that the worried mayor find a way.

The twins were at work prepping for the takeover of Xi's life by Dani. Dani had large photo flashcards, but couldn't remember some people. Xi said no food for her tired and hungry sister until Dani was picture perfect.

Lucio, perched in a tree like the bird of prey he is, waits. Soon, Fausto comes in sight and Lucio shoots. Fausto falls off his horse and Lucio strides up looking vengefully and crosses himself.

Mateo soon arrives on the scene and comes to Fausto's aid. Not sure if the bullet is embedded in his head or if it simply grazed his temple. In either case, it appears, pitifully, he is still alive.

It just grazed him and Fausto still lives. Fausto tells everyone he fell off a horse, but Mateo knows the truth, and Fausto tells Marcial the truth. Meanwhile, Lucio thinking he's killed him, comes out of hiding and goes to Marcial's house and subtly threatens him. Marcial does not tell him that he just saw a living Fausto who told him he's sure it was Lucio who shot him and he's alive after all.

Mateo has decided that he cares for a desires Diana, but it's Abi he loves and he wants a divorce. He tells Pat, his mama, Renata, and even Abi at the end. But he still hasn't told Diana. He and Abi make VERY obvious googly eyes at each other over dinner, right in front of Diana!

After shooting Fausto, Lucio went to Macaria's and they said that Lucio had just grazed Fausto, per the plan. Lucio wants Fausto living in fear and sleepless nights. Not sure why. Probably because Lucio still loves Fausto. Later when Lucio threatened Marcelino, Lucio blamed him for making Fausto want to kill him. "You took my friend away!"

Mi corazon es tuyo #170 Fanny and Leon reconcile, Alicia and Pablo are planning more trouble, Sebastian is in pain, Hissa gets served and Aura is not as orphan as we thought

Refritos:


Fernando promises Ana he will get DN back very soon. And tells her he fired Hissa. She thanks him with kisses.

Hissa walks with DN in her arms, tells him she really really REALLY likes his uncle Diego. That’s why we named you D. Diego goes in the kitchen and catches Bruno and Manuela in their ‘love dance’. She serves Diego some giant meatballs

Jenny and Johnny talk about Dorofeo and his possible sentence for the crimes (corruption, workshop arsen attempt). He asks her why she arrived with Ana and Bruno, she says he not a good liar.

Ana talks to Fanny on phone. Ana gets Fernando to call someone to find out if the car accident fatality is Leon or not. Ana won’t let Fanny think that Leon is dead.

Lo Nuevo:

Ana has a nightmare about Leon, swings her arm and hits Fernando in… wait for it… wait for it… THE NOSE!!! He is a nice gentleman and when she wakes up he tells her he is having some allergies and that is why he is rubbing nose.

The Lic. calls Fernando back. The dead kid is not Leon. Ana asks Fernando to call Fanny to tell her. He does. She is relieved.

Leon happens to be at a police station (called El Torito- the little bull) where the drunk guys are taken to. They are kept locked in for at least 18 hrs. Leon gets to call Margarita and even though she has Reina and Fanny with her, Leon only has a minute to talk so Margarita has to tell the girls where he is.

Morning. Again, Ana and Fernando’s bed is full with the three young ones and Sebas is sitting on the floor using a tablet and a voice software (you type the words and the tablet speaks them). They all start playing with it.

Ana writes ‘I love you, Mr Lascurain’.

Fernando writes ‘time to change clothes and have breakfast’

One of the twins writes ‘Hola Pareja!’

Sebas takes it back ‘Mi Corazon es tuyo’ (in a low pitch voice).. then ‘no more Don Hielo or Don Piedra’.

Fernando starts protesting and ends up crushed with all the kids and Ana doing ‘bolita’ on top of him. Even Siete is in the pile-up. Fernando lifts a hand and says ‘a hand that begs for help!!’

Guau Award - the two entries.

This one is from Viv. Thanks Viv!

Que te Perdone Dios...

... in which Fausto, with the aid of his minion Lucio, teaches us how to get away with murder, all without displacing a single moustache hair or getting a single smudge on his fancy cowboy hat. If you work for Fausto, you’ll get the lash in the fields by day, but a shot of free tequila in the cantina by night. Old women, young women, they all love him! And if you don’t, he’ll rape ya! His blind wife (Renata), his on/off lover (Macaria), his ex-lover/mother of his child (Helena), his lover/niece/daughter-in-law (Diana), and his obsession/step-daughter (Abigail our heroine), all know this is Fausto’s world, and the rest of us are just hostages in it. Mateo (our galan) naively thinks his uncle (really, father) Fausto plays by the rules, but he’ll learn soon that Fausto plays by his own rules.

From Anita. Thanks!

Guau award! update

Hello friends,

Turned out only TWO of you were willing to submit entries to my challenge. Both will get the free cd downloads.

I guess I didn't make clear what I really wanted, and anyway you were right, 150 words was too short. Here is an example I wrote of an old novela, it's 499 words. This is sort of what I was looking for. I will post the two entries shortly. Thanks.

Entre el Amor y el Odio

A recently deceased rich shoe-factory owner leaves his fortune to his nephew, the hero, and his ward, the heroine, with the stipulation that they, not previously acquainted, marry. 

The villain, Marcial, tells the hero this ward (our heroine) had been shagging the decrepit old shoe magnate so after our hero and heroine marry, glumly, in order to secure the loot, the hero invites his evil girlfriend (who's also the villain's girlfriend, her name is Frida) to move into the mansion with him and the new wife. 

The wife and the girlfriend both get pregnant. Our hero thinks he's the father of both, but actually his girlfriend's baby is the villains. The babies are born the same night. The baby born to the villains is feeble because his mother smoke and drank while she was pregnant!. The villains switch the babies in the nursery. 

The hero thinks he owes it to the evil Frida to marry her, so he divorces his wife. The villains try to kill the feeble baby several times. Then they try to run the hero over, but the heroine nobly gets hit instead and almost dies. 

Frida goes to the loony bin. When, later, she gets sprung, she tries to drown both boys in a swimming pool. The feeble one dies. Our devastated heroine tries to drown herself in a river but is rescued by a handsome feral Indian who takes her to a MONASTERY where she glides sadly around in a hempen robe. Then the hero is almost killed by a poisonous snake but the feral Indian saves him too.

Eventually the tide turns. Evil Frida’s skin begins to fall off; she has LEPROSY. Wrapping herself head to toe in orange scarves she sneaks into the hospital, covers her orange scarves with scrubs; poses as a nurse and kills a doctor in order to get morphine.

Meanwhile in the jungle the heroine is almost killed by an escaped-from-the-zoo lion but the feral Indian saves her, dying in the process.

The villain Marcial is almost burned alive in a motel jacuzzi, he survives but looks very gross so skulks around in a black cape and mask. Out for vengeance, he crashes an awards ceremony at the shoe factory. Swinging out of a tree, he sweeps up the remaining kid and takes him to the top of a huge statue. Frida (in her scarves) follows him up there cause she wants to stab him. The whole cast rushes up to the top of the statue in their formalware. The burned guy dangles the kid over the edge but Frida stabs him and our hero snatches the baby and Marcial pitches over the edge, and then Frida pitches over too.

Everybody rushes down to the broken villains on the stones below. A priest comes to give last rites but our villains reject him and each gives a long defiant speech before dying. Then there’s a big party.

O'hara's Bar – have another pint, mate
Matias is out clubbing with the wild sis, who doesn't have any plans of leaving anytime soon.  She keeps dancing on while all the other clubbers are busy doing the “Jersey Fist Pump”.  Somewhere between fist-pumps, she confesses to Matias that liquor does a certain something to her, I don't know, like maybe wanting to take off her clothes.  Suddenly, Matias isn't in such a hurry to rush home.  He pulls out his rapidly shrinking wallet.  I won’t mention what else might have shrunk with it.  I won’t, I just won’t.  Thankfully this is the last we see of these two tonight.

La Sombra Del Pasado, Capitulo #21, 03-17-2015

Recap by HellaShelle

Previously on LSDP: We are forced to relive Aldonza’s living nightmare. Severiano backs her into one corner after another while she squirms away. He finally backs her up against the desk and Aldonza grabs a letter opener behind her back. She warns him that if he takes one more step she can’t be held responsible for what she does next. Unfortunately for Severiano, he’s still living in the past while Aldonza’s determined not to relive it. This time she fights back by stabbing him!

Hoy: Humberto comes out in time to hear Aldonza declare that she promised her mother that she wouldn’t let Sev hurt her again. She flees the scene while Hum holds a raging Sev back. The red cloud in front of Sev’s eyes clears long enough for him to realize that he should deal with the stab wound and he demands loudly, rudely and repeatedly that Hum help him (even though Hum is already escorting him into the office so that he can stitch him up.)

At Isa’s Diego has been feeding Isa a lot of nonsense about being attracted to her, and since she is attracted to him she at first falls for it… she has a moment of wisdom and accuses Diego of working for Fernando, trying to get her to return the baby or at least with Fernando’s objectives in mind. He has to convince her that he is not there to take the baby. Stay tuned…

Inside poledance studio, Dorofeo has Johnny tied at the tube… opening the gas jug… playing with a metal cigarette lighter and yelling at Johnny that he betrayed him. Johnny rebutes that he and Ana didn’t even know how much they still owed Dorofeo. Dorofeo continues yelling at him while Ana, Jenny and Bruno peek through the door. Bruno volunteers to go in and then figure something out once he is there, but he won’t let the girls go in since he knows Dorofeo has something against them. Dorofeo tells Johnny he will burn down the place and can’t leave witnesses. Johnny begs. Big Mike Picadillo is also tied to another tube. The thugs start spreading the gas… Bruno comes in and starts to shout lots of nonsense. But Dorofeo recognizes him as the butler of Fernando Lascurain.

Tell Me That You Love Her
Renata has asked Mateo why he didn't have breakfast with them. Apparently, he went out for a jog very early (we can't deny Mateo is a very healthy man as well as bland to an extent.) Ren says she hasn't seen Abi and then Mat says he caught her deep in the hacienda crying about him. He feels awful and had never had it occur to him that this would be so. Ren tells Mat not to blame himself; Abi's always loved him. She asks him what he feels for her (god)daughter in which he excuses himself to shower because, "esta muy sudado."

Aldonza seems fortified with an inner resolve as she tells Tia Adelina that she is returning to Santa Lucia and if Adelina is uncomfortable, she can stay behind.    Tia matches the resolve and tells Padre Gerònimo she will be ready in ten minutes.

Over at Las Animas Cris and Emanuel discuss the hiring of the good for nothing Abelardo.  Cris almost feels as if his Dad hired him just to aggravate him.  When asked, they tell Melesio who they’re talking about.   Melesio reminds them Sev is the boss but if Abelardo really turns out to be good for nothing, he will be the first to advise Sev.  Melesio leaves.

Emanuel senses there’s something more to Cris’s sour mood.  Cris tells him it was the same night he returned home that he caught Abelardo messing with Aldonza:  he had to intervene and that is what started his involvement with her.  Somewhat surprised, Emanuel asks if he really was that bonded to her?  Yes, it was very special to him.  Emanuel asks more special than with Valeria?  Things are different now.  He’s going to marry Valeria but with Aldonza. . . well, things never got that far and then there are all those problems between the families.  He hopes wherever she is that she is doing well.  Emanuel listens earnestly as Cris’s gaze has wandered to an unseen might have been.

Diana is reminscing on her talk with Fausto who told her that he could possibly not betray Door-Mat who is loves almost almost almost as a spawn. Diana wonders what he means and Fausto breaks it down for her: He still admires her beauty but as a woman you now not count for me anymore. Diana now in the present speaks to herself " Are you sure i am not of your interest anymore,  Diablo? We"ll see! " 

Despicable Fausto aka Diablo is still begging Abi to forgive him cause he wants to change so bad but for that he needs to start anew. Could you possibly forgive me? (No Abi dont dare it says the screaming Patio from the shadows!)  Abi replies that she has nothing to forgive and will accept his good intentions until he doesnt hurt poor Ren once more .  Diablo agrees ,may not the words but actions guide her to make her choice,you shall surely not repent!

Mi corazon es tuyo #166, Thursday 03/12/15 Is this your best shot, Isabella?



Skipping the old…

Ana is in the dresser, looking at all of Fer’s costumes and screaming:
“Don Fernando!!”
When Fer arrives, she asks where she is supposed to put her things, if the place is packed with his shirts and jackets.
Then they talk about Isa coming to see the baby and threatening to take DN away for good. Fer doesn’t believe Isa would ever do that, because it would mean actually taking care of her child, which Isa is incapable of doing. Yes, but Ana is still worried, because Isa made a war declaration against them. Fer reassures her that nothing will stand in their way this time. Then he goes to feed the baby, who is in his bassinet in the room, fussing.

Magda comes to visit Angel with his favorite food and a bottle of wine. He looks happy to see her. Magda tells him about the talk she had with Ana in the morning. She was invited at the wedding and advised to tell Angel that she loves him and to kiss him. She does just that and Angel accepts willingly.

Leon takes his family (mom, Mau and Reina) outside, to show them the new car he bought. Mau reacts like every other 5 year old would – he’s happy, happy, happy and wants to take the car for a ride. Reina is impressed and mamacita is very proud of her progeny.

Dorofeo and his goons are still tailing Jenny and Johnny’s house. At one point the goons wonder why is Doro after J&J when his beef is with Ana. Between screeching and screaming, Doro says that Ana will be last, but before that, he needs to take care of the people she loves/ who helped her.
Unaware of what is going on outside their house, J&J are preparing Aura’s corner in their room, by painting a wall. Soon enough the pain ends up on their faces and their clothes, but we’re spared the rest of what is probably to come.  

Isa has a new disguise, which we don’t see entirely, yet. We can only tell that she has a short, blond wig and an unrecognizable voice. Arqui is impressed.

La Sombra del Pasado #18 3/12/15 Adiós, Mamá.

It is truly a sad evening out on the patio as we say goodbye to Roberta. Ironically this is episode 18 and Judaism often associates the the number 18 with life ("chai".)

You will be missed, Roberta.

Aldonza has discovered her mother bleeding in the tub. She calls for her tío and he comes in and asks Roberta not to go. Roberta tells him God is punishing her. He's calling her. Padre Jeronimo (Padre J) begs Roberta to hold on. Her daughter needs her.

Que Te Perdone Dios #37: Aww, Let's Let Bygones Be Bygones



Crazy Connie has been brought home to Angels Ranch by Dr. Patricio to be by her daughter's side.  She sees Fausto and immediately calls him out on his attempt on her life and everyone tries convincing her that it was really "the attempt on Renata's life"--er--her "so carelessly" tripping over a chair left too near the circular stairway.  Give it up, Granny.  Nobody cares.

Abigail runs into Teodora in town and asks her what gives and where she went the other night.   Teo makes the excuse that she had to leave early to turn on the lights or some such for Mia.

At Mad Max’s auntie’s manse, the money-grubbing Ximena is eagerly making funeral plans.  Max is sickened by this and it’s good to know that he has his father’s sense of right and wrong.  He tells her not to go counting her chickens before they’re hatched.  Well, his uncle going to be a cripple and his face will probably be hideously deformed despite all the numerous surgeries.  (That should be reason enough for a divorce, right?)  Max brings up her past.  She lies and says she is an only child.

At the same time, Sweet Twin Sister is told that she's well enough she'll be getting out of the nut house in a few days.

Back at Renata’s Rancho de los Angeles, Fausto the demon is back and insulting neurologist Dr. Patricio’s surgical skills for having blown the operation with his wife’s sight.  So much for the white knight in shining armor.  He  invites Pats into his office for a little verbal sparring over Patricio’s play for his wife.  Pats says he is in love with Renata and was forward in saying so because it was so painfully obvious that Feisty didn’t love her.  Well, tough tootsie nails, replies Fausto, cuz the woman is mine till they carry me out of here feet first!  (Oh.  Well,  we can always dream, can't we.)

Back in town, Lucio stalks Teo and warns her against opening her mouth to anybody.  Luckly for Teo, Benito and Diego show up and stop the manhandling.  Teo races off and tells her gal pals, including Abi, that she cannot keep her mouth shut any longer.

La Sombra del Pasado #17 - Wed 3/11 - Breaking the habit

Sev waxes rhapsodic about how women who cheat in Santa Lucia are utterly destroyed…and all their descendants, too!  I think when he talks about how the town does that to them, I think he's really talking about himself.  "So, careful what you wish for.  You might get it."

Aldonza confesses to Bernardita that she has had a boyfriend, sort of…not a lover…more like...a platonic love.  Aha!  Bernardita thinks that meant Aldonza "lo hechaste al plato!" (had him on a plate; or, you know…just had him).  OK, Bernardita can't take this topic seriously, Aldonza realizes.  Anyway, that's all over now.  It was a dream and then it became a nightmare…an impossible love.

3/11/15 #144 Hasta el Fin del Mundo; Sorry, kids, WBB didn’t make it to the stage tonight

I'll just head into the new stuff....

Taller de Ripoll – The writing’s on the wall, guapo
Armie/Matias discuss the question of Irais/Jobeth.  Matias tells Armie all about the fracas.  We already saw it yesterday so why do we have to talk about it today?

Armie receives a call from Alexa and she tells him she's not available today because of the movie.  They agree to see each other at the WBB concert.  He notices she doesn't call him guapo and is somewhat hurt by that.  He's sensing more than seeing the writing on the wall.  He tells her Irma caused a little drama but he ignored her.  He doesn't really go into detail.  As they get off the call, it seems as if both are realizing the reality of their situation.

Mi corazon es tuyo #165, 11 Mar 2015 Some set-up for the show tomorrow night. Hissa and Arquim plan the wedding crash, Ana counsels Fanny while Fernando likes what he hears from Leon.

Refritos:


none

Lo Nuevo:

Arquimides and Hissabella plan on what they will do to spoil/prevent the wedding. He says he just signed up an extra server/waiter for the wedding catering. He will drive the van. He needs to be near the action too, to coordinate it all. Hissabella drools on how much fun she will have with the unforgettable wedding of the n a c a.

Morning. Siete is slurping Ana’s face, she is not quite aware it is the dog so she says his breath smells bad. She suddenly wakes up and realizes all the young kids are on the bed with them. Fanny comes in, wants for Ana to go with her in the afternoon to start working on picking out a dress for Ana. Meanwhile Fernando wakes up and jolts when he realizes the crowd on the bed. Fernando walks over to Fanny. He asks her for a kiss and they share an embrace.

Fe: You know I love you, right?

Fa: Yes. Dad, I am sorry for the Ana situation…

Fe: I am sorry too. I treated you real bad. I love you. And I will be here for you always… always.

Ana slowly gets all the older kids (had to send Siete to go fetch Nando, Alicia walked in by herself) into a standing hug with Fernando. Just when she has everyone on the hug she grabs a pillow and starts the feather pillow fight while she rolls the bassinet with DN out of the way. Fernando (and Jorge, of course) is enjoying the scene, laughing his head off.

Back to Hissa’s… Arq thought she wanted him to do something related to computers for her. She said hey why not hacking someone’s computer, build an explosive device, etc. I will come up with some genius idea. Arq asks who is it she does not want to get married? She shows him Fanny’s facebook photo of Fernando and Ana on the computer. Fernando and Ana cannot be married.

Back to the feather cloud… Ana is still by the bassinet, Fernando bumps her rear end with a pillow so Ana turns around and joins the fight, directly targeting Fernando. Then she whistles with her finger, time to get ready for school. She gets the troops on line (shorter to taller, which in spanish is called ‘fila india’) then she gets them all to march out… she turns around and gives Fernando a whole lot of kisses… (he enjoys that too, JS must be a fun guy to live with) (all the kids start yelling at Ana to help them… Luz wants her to dress her, Alicia or Sebas asks her to help find the red sweater, etc etc…) while Ana asks Fernando if he is ok ‘I am happy! Feeling better than ever!’ ‘yeah it shows!’ then he asks her to bring her stuff to his bedroom/closet, yeah even her toothbrush lol! (they even squeeze some dance-like shaking). She kisses him, will be right back with her stuff after she helps the kids get ready. (a bit too much Ana yelling is the only bad thing in this scene sequence)

A: I love you!..

F: (pulls her back) I love you!

A: I told you first I love you!... you can’t copy me!! Equis!! (they goof around some more with I love yous and kisses, she leaves him in charge of the baby and he dances his way to the bassinet and picks DN up… this baby is ADORABLE!!)

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo #16, 03/10/2015

Recap by HellaShelle

We’re back with Aldie and the Mother Superior. MS gives Aldie the application and asks if her parents know she’s here. Aldie tells her they do, but her father died a long time ago. MS wants her mother’s phone number and Aldie balks. MS gets right down to it: they don’t know you’re here, do they.

Back to Roberta getting the bad news: lung cancer. Roberta rapidly starts to fray at the seams. She accuses Dr. Gonzalo aka Sleazey, of making this all up to get rid of her because of his son, but Dr. G has integrity (apparently he saves it all for work).  He curtly informs her that he’s a doctor and wouldn’t play with something like this. (Humberto must’ve missed that lecture in med school during his ob-gyn rounds). Rob breaks into tears and he gently embraces her in a brief, but kind, hug. She asks if he’s sure and he says he doesn’t have exact elements to confirm, but pretty much yeah. They need to do surgery to find out how bad it is and what the treatment should be. Can they cure it? Dr. G won’t know without further exploration. She doesn’t know if she wants to go through all of that, she needs to think about it. He reminds her that the faster is better. Rob’s set on finding her daughter first.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 36 Joker on Wheels (Discussion) Full Recap



After the latest most hideous episode,its time for us to venture into the unfortunate Faustville once again as i begin to wonder how much do they pay you  Sergio Goyri  for the portrayal of the Mexican Diablo and will you ever grow horns?    On the recap:


Previously

Slimy Mac is reminding Ren  that Abi is also HER daughter cause she gave up her life for her  (Cause the Brujo of Oz didnt give two frijoles for Abi) so Mac is quite happy to have her here.  Dumb Ren is thanking Mac cause she"s like in the best hands ever ,we raised her together a fine gal!  Mac wants to know if Ren really wants Abi to stay with her and she says yes. Mac slimes over her and replies that she cannot deny Ren anything ,she will try to convince Abi ( Hopefully she wont begin to feign epilepsy 3 episodes later just to screw over AGR -Always Gullible Ren !) 

Mat is still having bad luck with gals cause he is trying to make Abi not feel "annoyed " ,i mean just calm down LOL  .  Abi muses  to AIM - Always Irrelevant Mat that even if she could she cant cause she loves him!  She leaves him much to his pointless dismay !  (Has  Mat  lost his Balls to Benjamin Almonte  while he was sleeping?!)

3/10/15 Tues Hasta el Fin del Mundo Aracely keeps Benito waiting on the Tarmac

Jobeth, Matias, Irais menage a trois......boring

Daddy Peralta finds Sofia fascinating......zzzzzzzzz

Chava gets a little jealous.......zzzzzzz

Now on to tonight's mediocre episode.

Menage e trois I
Armie finishes Nandito's bedtime story, he texts Alexa, asking if he can call.  Before he can get through, she gets call from Paolo, telling her he sent her photos of the accessories he picked out and  director wants to start filming tomorrow.  He offers to pick her up for the shoot but she tells him she'll meet him there.  This gets her thinking Armando may have a point in suspecting Paolo has the hots for her.

Menage e trois II
Jobeth finds Irais bawling in her room.  She's brought her some aspirin for her “headache”.  Irais accuses Jobeth of using her, making her spend tons of money for two dinners, only to find her, Jobeth, making out with Matias.  Jobeth defends herself, saying it was spontaneous and that really, Matias isn't into Irais.  Irais cries, saying she realizes Jobeth is the pretty one.  Why, she's so upset, she's fogged up her glasses and has to take them off!  LOL!!  She finally gets angry and shoves Jobeth out of her room so she can continue her crying in peace.

Mi corazon es tuyo #164 10 Mar 2015... Knight in shiny black car Lascurain arrives to rescue the tube princess... a dead freek, a rush wedding plan and a villain planning to crash the wedding

Refritos:


Fernando goes looking for Ana in her room, ends up calling Johnny to get directions to the poledance school. Fernando runs out and won’t even let Soledad say a word…

Freeky remembers when Ana confronted him at Alicia’s bday and called him rabo-verde and prevented him from getting to Fanny alone. Ana arrives at the studio, goes in and starts prepping the tube, Freeky comes behind her and grabs her, knife in hand.

Lo Nuevo:

Ana asks Freeky the obvious, what he’s doing there… he is rough with her, ties her to one of the tubes.

Jenny and Johnny call Fernando(who is in the car on way to polendance studio, he looks anxious), they are curious as to why he wants to talk to Ana, hopefully something good… ‘I can’t wait(ME URGE!!) to talk to Ana, have to tell her how much I love her, that she is the love of my life!(ME URGE!! ME URGE!!)’ Jenny and Johnny are soooo happy for Don Fer and Ana. As he hangs up, Fernando looks a bit worried/sad.

Back to studio, Ana and Freeky argue about whether he had any rights to Fanny, Ana argues Fanny was too young for him… Ana is pleading, he was in hospital in coma, he is not well… Freeky tells her Fernando is his enemy and that he knows Fernando would suffer very much if he lost Ana after losing his first wife.

Fanny very happily tells Lenin she got an 89 in her test. He leaves her alone, he gotta get something for her. She posts a status on her page that she is happy she scored a 89. Leon sees it and ‘likes’ it and posts congrats to her.

Back to studio… Ana makes the mistake of making Freeky even more angry… she then pleads more, 'the kids need me!!'

Fernando’s car arrives, he tells the security idiots that he is going in alone, runs in (if he knew there was any danger in going in, i would argue 'WHO IS THE BIGGER IDIOT??, but he is just running in to talk to Ana, has no suspicion of danger)

Freeky asks Ana to say goodbye to the world just as Ana is pleading and Fernando arrives and yells his name. Fernando backs up a bit when he sees Ana has a knife to her neck. HE begins pleading to Freeky to take him instead. Don Freeky’s ghost appears to Freeky and yells at him to take vengeance now!! Fernando realizes this and starts pleading with Mr Rojas, apologizes for his abrupt decision. Freeky mentions that he spent years planning his revenge. Freeky starts crying while Fernando continues pleading with the ghost… Freeky walks over to where his dad supposedly is… As Freeky is away Fernando uses the moment to untie Ana. By the time Freeky turns around Ana is free and runs out while Fernando and Freeky fight… Fernando is visibly stronger than Freeky since he can push/throw Freeky toward the tubes several times. At the third time Freeky bounces from the tube toward the floor with the knife under him so he is not moving. The security idiot Arroyo arrives and Ana behind him, she calls for Fernando who walks toward her.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #142 3/9/15 Did Anyone Know that Chava is Poor?

From Friday:
Chava tells Sofia not to fire Pato. She needs to keep him around so they can keep an eye on him.

Fausto and Iker make a date to go to the movies together. Greta's dresses are delivered by the cleaners. Iker suggests that Greta wear the black and white dress. While Fausto isn't looking, Iker puts Octavio's ring into the dress pocket.

Renzi calls Pato to tell him about Armando going to the real estate office. Pato is sure that wherever Armie is, Chava can't be far away. He tells Renzi that those two were up to something. Renzi isn't too worried since he keeps everything under lock and key.

Monday's Episode:
Chava tells Sofia that there were three names on the ownership documents in Renzi's office. He cautions Sofia to hold on to her panties: one of the names was Cipriano Fuentes! Chava is sure that Pato gave Greta that name to use as Sofia's fake father's, which indicates that Pato and Renzi are partners in slime. Manjarres is the guy who is the connection between Renzi, Pato and the sabotage at the factory, but Fuzzy Tavarres hasn't found him yet.

The Big C La Sombra del Pasado #15 03/09/2015

Hi everyone! I'm really looking forward to your comments, you guys are such a fun group to hang with!

Ok, here we go:

Aldonza and Renato walk in on Roberta and Renato's dad making out on the couch. Aldonza apologizes for the scene and Renato tells her that he is also embarrased because Roberta's kissing partner is his dad, talk about ackward! Oh, but it gets worse when Renato asks if his mom knows about the affair! Rentato's dad tells him to calm down, they need to talk about this like decent (which actually means well mannered) people, Renato tells his dad he is in no position to give anyone orders.

Renato and his dad leave and Roberta tries to put her spin on things, Gonzalo (I think that's the name of Renato's dad) has an awful marriage and she can't go on because Aldonza stops her. She tells her mom she does not want to hear her excuses, she goes on to say that Roberta makes her sick, she is tired of the life she leads and can't put up with her any more, her parting words are "thank you for ruining my only shot at having a normal life!". Roberta returns to her glass of wine and her cough returns.

Quiero Amarte (Week 25-Mar 9) Highlights & Discussion

COUPLINGS AND UNCOUPLINGS
(B) At the beginning of our story; (T) In transition; (N) Now, at the beginning of Week 25

B) Max and Constanza, after 5 years apart it was strong, until Max rescues a damsel in distress just before their reunion
T) Max and Amaya, a sizzling, arms-length yearning, love, pledge of eternal love, a number of couplings, a marriage proposal and acceptance (followed by a heart breaking derailment)
N) Max and Constanza, sort of, since he can’t get Amaya out of his head or heart after what he deems a betrayal; he can’t hate Amaya the way he should

B) Constanza and Max, after 5 years apart, their love remained strong in her memory, but her head was leaning toward her fellow university colleague, Salvador, but not her heart
T) Constanza and Salvador, oops, she made a huge mistake (well, two—a Mini-Max is in the oven), still loves Max and Sal needs anger management classes
N) Constanza and Max, she’s in it all the way, making a big play for him for baby's sake, but Max holds her at arms length

B) Amaya and Horacio, unhappy in marriage, but she stays for her daughter Vale, until she can’t take it any more
T) Amaya and Max, met under water, the man of her dreams, he’s committed to someone else, she’s still married, once the impediments are gone, they are a unit, forever (regrettably, forever was only temporary)
N) Amaya and Cesar, determined to bring justice to her wronged, dead family members, she gives up Max “to protect him” and marries Max’s brother, his greatest rival and deadly enemy (only he doesn’t know this part)

B) Cesar only does ho’s, likes to tie them up, shows them he’s in charge
T) Cesar, ditto, although he has plans to “obtain” Amaya as part of his plan to take charge, not of her, but of his father’s company
N) Cesar and Amaya, he married her, been able to get her into his bed to sleep, but not to have sex

Dining Room:  Greta confesses to the girls that Paco Fernandez, was her soul mate and is Sophia's biological father.  Alexa accuses Greta of being a gold digger and using Octavio for his money.  Greta agrees that she didn't love Octavio and used him for his cash, but she rewarded him by keeping his secret and being the best wife EVER! Octavio was always second best in her heart, but he kept her and her mother from the skid row bread line and he deserved her loyalty.  Alexa is surprised to learn that Fausto knew everything and he broke the Maury news to Paco.  Alexa wants to know what other secrets Greta is keeping from the family.  She points out that Paco practically lives across the street from Ripoll and Greta never told Sophia that he is her father.  She says that Greta is horrible for letting Sophia mourn over a dead guy.  After begging the girls to forgive her for the mistakes that she made boldly and on purpose, Greta leaves the room.  Fausto encourages the girls to forgive their mother.  He says the most important thing is that the truth is finally out!  Sophia agrees.

La Sombra del Pasado #13 3/5/15 I Have a Dartboard With Your Name On It

We may need several dartboards for the patio. Using interchangeable pictures may get futzy since multiple characters perform acts worthy of The Dartboard of Doom in almost every episode.

Refrito Rapidito
Abelardo tells Mari that he can draw a detailed map of every mole on Valeria's body.
Severiano (Sev) vists Raymundo's grave. He's recovered the land Ray took and used Ray's daughter to cover the loss of the arm.

Lo Nuevo
Aldonza prays to the Madrecita. She thanks her for their new life. It hasn't been easy. She asks La Madrecita to help her mother leave this life she's living. Patience, dears. It will become clear near the end.

Sev meanwhile tells Raymundo (Ray) he had every intention of leaving Roberta, Aldonza and Adelina alone in their new lives. He's a big-hearted, generous guy, you know. Unfortunately, Roberta hasn't learned a thing and he's simply going to have to shut her up some other way.

Aldonza continues her prayer. She prays for her guardian angel Adelina and the eternal rest of her father's soul.

Sev makes his goodbye to Raymundo's tomb. Sev has filled him in with all the latest so Ray will turn over in his grave.

Mari catches up with Lola and wants to talk to her (that's code for "gossip.) Mari tells Lola that her brother Abelardo said that Valeria (Val) went to Spain to chase after Cristobal so they could get married. Lola informs her that's old news (I love you Lola, but you are a rapidtalker and slangslinger. I think the Ocho columnas she refers to is an newspaper.) Mari then tells Lola that Val and Abelardo habían tenido sus queveres (loosely and crudely translated by yours truly as "they've knocked huaraches.") This gets Lola's attention. Lola calls her a cusquivana only to be quickly corrected by Mari with casquivana. Cusquivana, casquivana...they both mean tart (though I'm partial to "ho" myself.) Ah, but Lola I believe is playiing on the word "cusca" which can be used for "ho". She calls her vain, too.

Meanwhile, in España...

Que Te Perdone Dios #32: Simona Wins, DeeDee Ducks and Trucks, Dr. Pats' Luck Sucks

 I don't have the latest video from Hulu yet (aaaaa-gain) so this is what I remember for now:

Mateo informs the feist-meister of his plans to marry Diana and leave for Spain with his new wife (por lo civil) in tow.  Feisty fakes a congrats and here's my blessing.  Mat tries scolding his "uncle" over his womanizing and suggests if he wants Renata to move back to the hacienda he'll have to give her some time and to mend his ways.  (Snore.....)

Simona keeps on truckin'.  No way she's outta this race.  Now more than ever, Freddy from on high will be her motivation.  And...when the results are in, she wins--and puts Marcelino's wife in as her assistant!  Marc sits around in his dirty undershirt sucking down beers all day long and kvetching about it.  (Talk to the hand, dirt bag!)

3/4/15 Hasta el Fin del Mundo #139 Part Deux of Aracely's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.

I missed this last night.....As Aracely and Irma are walking out, Aracely says “No one beats you when it comes to being obsessive and stubborn.”I'm laughing so hard I can barely type!  Pot calling Kettle....

Now for the new stuff...

Escuela Primaria Jaime Nunó
Irma is giving the headmaster a bs line about having to go see a sick relative and that's why she's there so early to get Nandito.  Oh, and dad can't come cuz he's working.  Headmaster says okie doke and Irma smiles her sly little snake smile.

Rot in hell Severiano La Sombra Del Pasado #12 03/04/2015

Here's a quick recap, totally from memory so if I missed something let me know!

Cristobal is looking for Aldonza on social networking sites when his mother walks in to the room, he looks like he got caught looking at adult websites! She wants to know if he is searching for Aldonza and he tells her that yes, that's what he is doing. She tells him to let it go, nothing good can come of it and sometimes you have to let love go. He wants to know if that's what she did, is that why she has such a cold relationship with his father? She tells him that's not the point and Cristobal puts his foot down: he won't allow her to run his life!

Candela leaves in a huff and runs straight to Severiano, he has to do something! Severiano tells her she has nothing to worry about, Aldonza won't be coming back into town. Candela wants to know what guarantee she has of that and he tells her that she has his word, she tells him that his word is worth nothing. This does not go over well with Serv who tells her his word is all she has and that he knows the women won't come back. She asks him what he did to be so sure but of course he refuses to tell her-because how do you explain that you raped a defenseless girl, right?

Mi corazon es tuyo #160 4 March 2015... more filler... a divas fight right in La Costena office... Fernando still cold as ice with Ana. The little ones finally are told no wedding. Edith leaves town. Fanny has an anxiety attack

Refritos:


Ana/Fanny/Ximena (btw, Ximena says she loves helping care for the little kids, Ana responds ‘yeah, and most of all the 17 year old ones, right?’ LOL!), Ana tells them Angel declared his love to her. Later Xime asks Ana if she loves Fanny’s dad, Ana: you want to know if the Earth is round? (Ana gets an idea, asks Fanny for the credit card… Xime comes up with a new idea, lets use Ximena’s instead, Ana insists in paying her in cash later. LOL!)

Angel trying to give his pitch to Mama Sol about his declaration of love to Ana. Mama Sol does not quite believe he is in love with Ana. She believes it is more platonic love what he feels for Ana. Angel tries to justify saying ‘I love desperate causes’ (I would say it is a LOST cause, dude!)

Fernando at office with the ‘comando’ guys, whose best idea is to put flyers with Freeky’s picture around the city. (REALLY???!! Fernando, hire another group STAT!!!) LOL!

Freeky watching the kids at school ‘what better vengeance than to hurt one of Fernando’s kids?’

Sebastian shows Ana the video of her that Hissabella took at Chicago. Ana concerned.

Lo Nuevo:

Ana tries to explain that whoever put the video on his page had bad intentions, 'we both know who, right?… Hissabella'. Ana tries to explain… she does not feel shame for dancing, she loves doing it. She did not tell them because she was paranoic of losing them. 'Your dad is real angry at me because I did not tell him. And we will not get married'. (Sebas begins to cry) Ana explains she has danced for many years in the tube. Sebas keeps asking why Dad is mad at her. Why didn’t you tell him. ‘Tell Don hielo??’ (Sebas understands). If he fired me I would not be able to see you all anymore. He wanted a nanny who had degrees, spoke languages, etc… Instead of that, he got someone who dances on a tube'. Sebas reminds her that his dad used to think Hip-hop was for felons. Ana reminds him ‘prejudices’… And people who dance at the tube also suffer from prejudices very much. Sebas asks her why she did not tell Fernando later on. Ana explains that she had a signed contract that she could not walk away from and that she had fallen in love with all of them… it was much harder to come clean with him due to her fear of losing all of them. Sebastian stares at her, he seems to understand.

At office, Betty brings Fernando an arrangement of flowers and fruit… (of course its from Ana)… card: ‘I know Rome was not built in a day. That is why I want to regain your trust little by little. Love you. Ana.’ Fernando, miffed, asks Betty to take it away. Betty hesitates and Fernando shouts 'take it away (now)!'.

Nando visits Fernando at the office to try to explain some details about Ana’s job at Chicago. Fernando won’t let him even talk to him about it, yells at him. Then apologizes. Nando asks Fernando if he knew about Ana’s house having been lost to fire, yes he heard. Nando continues... she had asked the owner of the antro for money to fix her house… and he made her sign a contract. Fernando says 'ah I get it. She signed a contract to pay the loan. And I imagine she also signed a contract to … LIE… to HIDE information!'.

Ana continues to explain to Sebas. They talk about whether or not to tell the younger ones why their dad and Ana have split and why they are no longer getting married. Sebas assures her that if she hid the fact that she danced from their dad, the young ones won’t mind at all. 'You are the same Ana for them… and for me!'... Ana so thankful. Have to tell the young ones.

La Sombra del Pasado #11 on Tuesday, March 3rd, 2015

We begin our latest excerpt of La Sombra del Pasado with the lovely Severiano on a horse blacker than his heart. He is riding along the trail when a 3-inches-short-of-feral RobbieDearest pops up and has a gun.

"Severiano, you're going to hell!"

Once again, she has shot the father of her child (albeit a dead child) but the difference is this daddy survived. The look on Robbie's face as SeveredArmo rises from the ground is priceless. Sev has a few choice words and then Rob says hers (which is just calling the kettle black.) He has a total disregard for her self-defense and smacks Roberta and the gun out of her hands. Sev literally kicks her while she's down and straddles her. He tells her to watch her mouth and that her reputation is nasty, imagine her in jail. Rob says she doesn't care (and rather calmly after having been kicked and smacked to the ground.) She says her life is worthless now (and that's where the hysteria in her voice begins to kick in.) Sev mentions that her dear daughter Donnie's life is valuable however and after more vile sputterings rides off leaving Roberta alone on the floor crying.

3/3/15 Tue Hasta el Fin del Mundo #138 Aracely's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day


I'll go straight to the new stuff.....

Casa Ripoll
Iker begs the afternoon off from Fausto, saying he has a friend in need but doesn't really get into the details.

Casa de Chava – Mi Casa es Su Casa
Chava offers his home to Sofia for as long as she wants.  She assures him she's not planning to abandon the family business but insists she'll never forgive her mother.  Chava reminds her she once told him about his relationship with his father, “There are times one must open one's heart and forgive.”  Sofia insists their situations are different.  He reminds her that his dad did some awful things.  Granted, no parent is perfect and sometimes they'll keep things from you, thinking they're doing the right thing when in reality it ends up hurting you.  Sofia thinks he's so noble, defending his father.  “Aw shucks, ma'am,” he says.  (well, not really but I took some poetic license here.)  He just wants what's best for her and doesn't want her to be filled with bitterness.  Then we get into love talk.  He doesn't want to see her suffer, etc, etc, smoochies.

Mi corazon es tuyo #159, 3/3/15 A crazy stalker, a sleepwalker, a concerned dad gets angry with hired security, a hopeless lover gets an honest rejection (yay!), a surprise proposal, Ana gets coaching to keep trying, and an unexpected video on facebook

Refritos:


Freeky waltzes around the Lasc Mansion in muddy shoes while Fernando does his goodnite kiss rounds…

Lo Nuevo:

Luz, scared, shaking, heads to kitchen to tell Ana that she just saw a man upstairs holding baby DN. Ana gets alarmed and fetches the security losers out the door… the guys run upstairs to check on the rooms. Fernando sees them walking around with their guns in hand and asks what happened. He then grabs the baby and runs downstairs, noticing the muddy footprints in the room and in the hallway all around.

Meanwhile Freeky puts the sleeperhold on a poor gardener and slams a security guard on the head with a shovel (ouch!! That’s going to leave a mark!)

Fernando reaches Ana and Luz… Luz tells him the man was at the house before, he came to Grandpa’s wedding. Gray hair, about Fernando’s age, and with blue eyes… Fernando gets even more alarmed, whispers to Ana ‘Enrique Basurto!’. She nods in agreement.

Ana takes Luz back to her room and locks the door. Luz asks why Enrique came, Ana does not know. But your dad is fixing things so we will be safe here. Once Ana gets Luz calm, Ana asks herself why Freeky came to see Dieguito.

Fernando is bashing the security guards about this 2nd slip. (the 1st was with Fanny at the restaurant). MY 5 Year old child!! My 5 year old child!! Saw him in the house!! (he has summoned Torres to tell him he wants to hire a commando team to locate Freeky. He does not care the price tag. Also, tomorrow he wants the best alarm installed, even with motion sensors all over the yard. He bashes the security guards again, warning he will hire another group if they don’t do their job.

Fernando comes back to Ana’s room to check on Luz. He is very cold and indifferent to Ana, even asking her to talk to him as ‘Usted’, he caresses the baby and kisses Luz goodnite. Ana asks if he talked to Fanny about Freeky. He will talk to her tomorrow. Then he walks right by Ana as if she were a fly on the wall. She says ‘good night, Ana, because the courteous does not take away the brave’. (‘lo cortes no quita lo valiente’, it is a famous spanish phrase)

Apparently, Ana has taken the same tea she used to serve Fernando when he had the sleepwalking stints… she sleepwalks right into Fernando’s bed as he has gone to the bathroom/closet. He sits on his bed and jolts up when he hears her snore..(LOL!) He tries to wake her up but to no avail, she sits up and says ‘I love you Fernando’ in her sleep, then drops back to sleep. He gives up on getting her out so he grabs a pillow and blanket and heads out the door.

La Sombra del Pasado #10 - Mon 3/2 - New depths of darkness

We're reminded in the refrito that Candela gave Severiano a directive "Use your imagination.  Do something.  Anything.  But do it now before it's too late and my son gets tangled up with…her!"  Just making sure we're clear about ALL the responsible parties when Severiano acts on this later.  Candy doesn't get a pass from me.

Adelina doesn't have enough money to buy all her groceries and the stall attendant has been told not to extend any more credit.  The two creeps who were assaulting Aldonza at El Santuario are there, saying Adelina should ask her niece for money because "everyone knows" she's following in her mother's footsteps, especially now that the fire destroyed their crops.  Adelina tells her to ignore the cackling dumbasses.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: Dueños del Paraíso, Los Miserables, Tierra de Reyes, etc - Week of March 2, 2015

Welcome to another week of slightly organized chaos here in the Telemundo corner of Caray.  

Los Miserables in now in últimas capítulos.  We are, of course, on full Anvil Alert and our ace team of recappers — LXV, Aficionada, el Señor EC and Spanish student — is ready to dish.  Personally, I am fine with anything that happens from now until the end AS LONG AS THE WRITERS LEAVE PABLO ALONE!

Thanks to some splendid surprise recaps by Julia and sneaky two shoes, the neglected middle child of the lineup, Tierra de Reyes, is finally getting a little love around here.

Hombre de Misterio and Novelera continue to be our guides (with deb singing harmony, of course) to Dueños del Paraíso, taking us through a late 1970s Miami of leisure suits, impenetrable Medellín slang, and a group of singularly unsympathetic characters who manage, nonetheless, to capture our attention.


Have fun and keep up the comments!

Quiero Amarte (Week 24-Mar 2) Highlights & Discussion

Let's Review--Where are WE?
We've been shuttling back and forth between the fincas in Chiapas, the City of Mexico and the WUN finca, La Tormenta.


We've watched a terrified Lucrecia imagining her worst enemy is stalking her. She wants round-the-clock bodyguards, and for her investigator to vite vite find that damned woman. Too bad it's all an illusion. Florencia is nothing but ashes.


We've watched Cesar in a snit because he's imagining the worst of Max and Amaya together. He's heading for the ranch. He doesn't know it but what he is imagining is true. What will he do with the red teddy he saved for her?


We've observed Juliana and Jorge delight in new found love with each other, kissing passionately and sharing a huge chicharron a la Lady-and-the-Tramp. Carolina realizes all is lost when she sees them munching away.


We've been witness to a terrible road accident suffered by Max and Amaya, somewhere on the road to Mariana and Ivan's wedding. All is lost--not even a cell phone. That's ok, we've enjoyed a shirtless Max and have listened to a When-Harry-Met-Sally moaning Amaya.


We're just now seeing, with great trepidation, the arrival of some SUVs full of pandilleros at the town square of the WUN town. Ulises can be seen looking out the back window. The whole wedding party (minus one jealous Cecy) are happy in their innocence. All will probably be lost, but primarily Mariana, unless a miracle saves her.
