Quiero Amarte (Week 31-Apr 20) Highlights & Discussion

THE CHIAPAS WEEKLY NEWS - Online Edition for Select Subscribers
BREAKING NEWS
Don Mauro Montesinos, head of the Montesinos family, chairman and majority shareholder of the Nescafé-Mexico empire and owner of vast coffee lands in Chiapas, has been missing and presumed dead for many weeks. Most of his family members cannot believe he is dead. In breaking news it seems a Dr. Marco Antonio Linares, newly arrived head of the Chiapas medical clinic, has been instrumental in identifying him as being alive (and to his own surprise, identifying him also as his father). Don Mauro is in serious but not critical condition upon being rescued. He is alive thanks to two individuals who prefer to remain anonymous. Family members had gathered in the Montesinos Mansion in Mexico City, expecting a family reunion that never took place. They have yet to be informed of Mauro’s recovery and status. This story has not been officially confirmed, but sources close to the scene have indicated it is credible. More news on the family’s reaction as it comes in to News Central.

OTHER NEWS OF INTEREST
Iván Fonseca, recently married to the lovely Mariana Valdez and having of late recovered his lost memory, has volunteered to be a super hero and single-handedly deal fatal blows (figuratively speaking, of course) to the evil, scheming Ulises Arteaga and the dangerously obsessed and mentally unbalanced Cecilia Cortez (aka Cecy), owner of the WUN finca, La Tormenta. Ulises, recent heir to the finca El Deseo has been identified as engaging in some dirty coffee business dealings. He has now abandoned the property to evade capture after kidnapping and sequestering Mariana twice, nearly whisking her out of the country using fake passports (which he had to have replaced). He is on the run, thought to be heading for Cecy’s finca. Cecy was given parole for her participation in deceiving Iván into believing he had no wife, no family and preventing him from being reunited with his loved ones. She pretended to be crazy (which of course she really is) to “pass” her psychiatric exam and is now back home at her finca, plotting new ways to separate Mariana from Iván, the object of her obsession. More news on Iván’s heroics as it comes in to News Central.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #171 When Honest Criminals and Idiots Collide

So Patricio asks Peralta if he's earned any evil loyalty points for snitchin' on Chris' whereabouts.  Meanwhile, Aldo, the most honest assassin in the world delivers a big duffle bag filled with cash to the Snobs.  Peralta tells Patrick that he is 100% certain that he his cash will be returned to him along with Dani and then he will be the hero of this drama.

La Sombra del Pasado #44, 4-17-15 True Confessions of Boinkers, Lovers and Other Strangers



Overlap:   Lola with Dominga and Mel in the kitchen declaring her new attitude toward E-man while admitting she can't help being attracted to the handsome devil!

We return to the morning after and the afterglow is long gone for the Mendozas.  Among other things Cande screeches to Severiano is that nothing happened last night!  Sev begs, even falls to his knees claiming he loves her but Cande is seized by pain and humiliation.  She wails that Sev should get out, slams and locks her bedroom door, then slumps to her chair and weeps.

Dominga enters Cande’s room to bring tea and hastens to leave.  Cande asks her not to stay, she needs to talk.  I get the feeling that Cande as a wounded little girl and Dominga as the comforter is a role that has played out throughout their lives.  Cande cries that Sev has a lover and of her pain after having surrendered to him last night.  Doming gently checks her reality:  it’s logical and Cande knows this woman isn’t his first.   Dominga wants to know what is really hurting Cande:  she’s maintained for years that Sev didn’t matter to her.  Cande looks within to a private screening of her past.  She thought she would be happy when first married him but she was wrong.  The bastard never valued her as she deserved and she will never forgive him for that!  Dominga asks her if she valued Sev as a man:  They both married knowing she was in love with another man.   Cande cries that THAT man didn’t value her either!  Dominga entreats Cande not to torture herself with thoughts of a past that cannot be changed.  Dominga walks Cande over to her sitting area and brings her tea.  Cande thanks her weakly and sips.  Take a good look.  I’ve got a feeling we won’t be seeing a lot of this helpless, vulnerable, loose-haired Cande.

Refritos:
Alejandra and Rocio, Rocio is  a nice big sister.
repeat of Isa dreaming with Facundo (a bit more of the dream, they are kissing, sharing a strawberry and some pancakes... "que rico!!")

they have a bit of a pillowfight. Santi yells at the rooster to keep singing (cocoodling).

At the college, turns out Francis converted the video clips of Carmen hitting her car into making a caricature of Carmen as a 'rancherita loca'.  Francis mocks Carmen in front of everyone at school. Francis declares the war on her directly. This is only the beginning, if you insist with MY BF, you will end up worse.  Carmen walks away. Francis runs to latch to Felipe but he did not miss the fact that the video was uploaded by some 'Frank Lop'.  She steals a kiss from him and Carmen sees it.

Back at the house... Diego came to see Rocio...  ISa warns them she does not want 'naco'-related scandals.  Diego is angry at Rocio, she says we were splitting up already.  He rants at her and realizes she is wearing a chain/pendant that Beto gave her. He rips it right off her neck.
Rocio rants that Diego was never charming or delicate with her.  Diego warns her that once the 'farmer' learns about her 'not so normal' features he will get away from her.  Rocio says i was looking for a reason to split with you but this is more than enough. Diego warns her she will come back to him begging.

Que Te Perdone Dios #63 – Benito’s Horrible, Terrible, Very Bad Day, and Mac and Diana Always Get Their Man



Right to new business: After Mateo came home late, without lovin’ on his mind, Diana brings him some breakfast in bed in the morning. But he pushes it aside and wants to take a shower – with no funny business. Since he’s in a novela, he doesn’t know that he can just lock the door to keep stray people out. Diana hurls the tray.

In his own room, Fausto is having an intimate moment with his hat of the day, when Diana rushes in and wants some 20 minute lovin’ while Mat’s in the shower. Fausto gives her the bum’s rush. He’s mad about what Mac said re Diana having a lover, and plus I don’t think him getting caught with Diana could possibly help his “Look at me, I’m making changes” campaign. Diana says if he can’t give her what she needs, she’ll just have to go elsewhere. Fausto assures her, “Te mato” if she does.

La sombra del pasado #43 4/16/15 There are dirty words. Read with caution.

I think I got a set up episode. I felt like it was all over the place, but not in a wasting time kind of way. There are things afoot in Santa Lucia!

El Refrito
Severiano(Sev) convinces Candela(Cande to let down her hair.

Lo Nuevo
It's late and Slivia is surprised Renato is still in his office and notes how tense he is. It's understandable. He's dealing with the death of his mother and his unrequited love for Aldonza. Sylvia gets mighty handsy and asks about how things are going with Aldonza. Renato confesses that things are not going well. He fears it's a lost battle. Sylvia takes this to mean "please kiss me" and she obliges. Renato responds, but soon gets himself under control and tells he tells Sylvia that what they are doing is not a good idea. Sylvia disagrees and continues applying her stress relieving techniques. Little Renato takes over...if you know what I mean.

Que Te Perdone Dios#62: More Snitfits From The Misfits

Parte Uno:
We learn that Diego is the bastard son Constanza could never give Bruno and he was kept close to the house with his abuela after his mother left for parts unknown.  (Bruno kicked the bucket before ever squaring things with Diego—that is, if he ever meant to.  Personally, I don’t think he would’ve liked eating that much crow.)
Renata is gasp-gasp-impactada to hear that Fausto is Mateo’s baby daddy, knows it and that Mat is ignorant of the fact.  Helena imparts her em-bare-assing story to Renata.  Considering the truth ain't out for real yet, the two broads cluck to each other and assume that Feisty, being in the room when his brother “took his own life” probably was affected horribly which accounts for his nasty, anti-social behavior?  Pobre de Fausto!  (Yeah, my heart bleeds.  Another victim of supposed circumstance.)  And pobre de Hellie who says she didn’t stop to think what the consequences would be (in blurting the truth out on your wedding day to your intended you mean???) so badly was she needing to clear her conscience about her affair.  She blames herself for that tragedy.  (Well at least you have figured that much out over that past 30 years.)
Simona is thrilled to speak to her lawyer and tells Father Tomas as much. When she tells Tom that Max’s aunt Ximena sent him from Mexico City to help her pro bono, they both mistakenly assume that it was Max’s idea.

La Sombra del Pasado #42 - Wed 4/15 - Warnings all around

Sev continues his intimidation of Adelina, adding that when he goes down, there are a lot of people going down with him.  Like her.  She was Roberta's "accomplice" in some of what happened--like the murder of Raymundo.  Uh, legally?  No.  Though in the court of public opinion…hell, she's already been tried, convicted, and sentenced, so the only threat there is Aldonza finding out she hid the truth.  Anyway, Adelina finally picks up the groceries and leaves, with smarmy Sev watching her walk away and looking like he's enjoying the view.  Sicko!

Tomas and Abelardo discuss Pru.  Tomas does think Pru is a hottie (well, at least he has good taste), but he's also building up his gigolo clientele.  He counsels Lardo that providing *ahem* mechanical services to women with money is always going to be more profitable than working.

4/15 #169 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Rata de Dos Patas!!! is all I can say……..

Iker has Daniiiiiiii tied up at Silvana’s depa.  Yikes!  She’s trying desperately to get away from him and tells him she loves Lucas.  She tells him one time too many and he breaks.  He turns from psycho amorous to psycho angry in one second flat!  “Don’t say that!  Don’t ever say that!  I love you Daniela!”  She repeats that she loves Lucas and could never love Iker.  This isn’t what Iker wants to hear and he puts the gag over her mouth again.  I have to say the actress playing Daniela, Jade Fraser, is doing a fantastic job here.  She looks terrified.

Casa de Chava/Casa Ripoll
Armando calls Chava with the news that Dani is missing, wondering if he might know where she is.  Meanwhile, the Ripolls and Fausto are grilling Aurora the maid about what happened the last time she saw Dani.  She tells how Dani asked Iker for juice and he mixed it up for her.  She doesn’t know anything else because she locked herself up in her room.  The Ripoll family & Fausto call around looking for Dani.  ¡Que angustia!  Fausto even leaves a voicemail for Iker!  It appears she hasn’t been in an accident and the cops say they can’t do anything for 72 hours.  Greta only hopes Lucas hasn’t got her mixed up in something stupid.  Doorbell rings and the cavalry has arrived!  Chava has come to offer his help.  Greta declines his help, saying there’s nothing he can do but Fausto interrupts her, saying any help is welcome.  Greta returns to her room to keep making calls.  Sofia updates Chava on who they’ve called but there are still some hospitals and police precincts they haven’t checked.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 61 -Discussion(Recap) Full Recap

Refrito's : There aren't much of refrito scenes , most of them included  Pat' decision to call Xi & Efrain calling Ren for Judgment Day !

Present: ( Some scenes were merged) 
 ( I must say  the Bar-Ren scenes were quite hard  scenes to recap  , they would have took me ages to recap  in perfection and  i am not in the mood to drag this for too long since by the time I finish them Fausto would have already  became Dictator ! )  To sum the scenes  all up ,  Bar was basically shredding Ren to bits for her supposed secretive and manipulative ways that dragged Pab to the Pits just so that she could marry Fausto in clean white  glory .  Bar also accuses of now playing with Pat's emotions like Pab's  ,   playing a mask of innocence and for forcing Abi to live with Mac to hide her embarrassing  secrets but he"s not surprised at all since that's what rich people are known for right? . Ren keeps claiming that she"s innocent  , constantly defending her guts from the ranting Bar who shares  a face of Terminator and informs him that he should know that she was a victim too but Bar won't listen to her but promises that Abi will be told nothing cause it would utterly destroy her cause her very mother decided to raise her not & has ashamed of her . Ren exclaims that she has always protected and watched over her but Bar is not satisfied much, after Brutus croaked nothing could hold Ren hostage ( Except the Ogre who must not be named nor has a name nor soul neither emotion less for his Hat  still remains ) He himself will not forgive her abandonment , may God do it Yo No!

4/14 Tue #168 Hasta el Fin Del Mundo – Fifty Shades of Iker

Episode really jumped around tonight so I liberally moved things around.  

Slimy Geronimo insists Sofia share what’s bugging her.  She stupidly tells him her relationship with Chava is over and rushes off.  This is music to his ears.

Back at Empresa Ripoll
The chisme is all over the secretarial pool.  They’re discussing how Chava left in tears.  When Patricio walks by,  they act like nothing’s going on but Noemi tells him the chisme.  She’s sure Chava and Sofia are over.

Depa de Irais
Matias comes looking for Jobeth.  Irais tells him she has no idea where she is.  He spies Jobeth snogging with that guy in the snazzy car.  Matias yanks her out of the car and the guy splits.  He and Jobeth argue.  She tells him she was only saying goodnight to the guy and she doesn’t like jealous scenes.  She tells him like it is, cheap ring, cheap cars.  She expects only the best from someone she’s dating.  Maybe, just maybe, the truth is getting through to our Jughead Matias.

She ends up giving him back the ring.  Jughead still doesn’t get it.  He calls after her, saying he can get a bigger ring and even a better car.  I don’t like this character, but I can’t help feeling sorry for the guy.

La sombra del pasado #40 4/13/15

Please join me in thanking hellashelle for her recap!! THANK YOU HELLASHELLE!

Rewind: Severiano (Sev) reams Abelardo (Lardo) out. (Renato) Ren’s shirtless post-shower phone convo. (Candela) Cande suspects Sev of cheating. (Cristobal) Cris suspects both of his parents of attempted murder.

Play: Cande goes apoplectic. How dare Cris accuse them of something so low?! How humiliating! Unlike Cande, Cris doesn’t have apparent short term memory loss, so he reminds his mom that she interrupted a funeral mass and slapped the bereaved. That was completely different! Cande insists. (Yes, villains never think the rules apply to them.) Sev steps in to say that what hurts the most is that Cris believes the priest (here he gives Cande a hard look), who’s had Sev entre ceja y ceja (=between eyebrows; had his eyes on him) more than his own parents. This means nothing to Cris, who simply asks again if it was them. Sev screams back that he doesn’t have to take this disrespect. Cande cuts him off and says that it’s one thing for them to hate Aldonza, for obvious reasons, but quite another for them to be criminals. Sev orders Cris to get out of his sight and for a second Cris looks like he thinks he really f*d up with his folks, but then he warns them that if he finds out they’re behind this mess, he himself will denounce them to the police.

Quiero Amarte (Week 30-April 13) Highlights & Discussion

WE CAN'T WAIT--
For Dr. Guapo Marco Antonio Linares (aka Baby Boy Montesinos) parentage to be revealed. Here's hoping he goes to El Paraiso for a visit very soon.
To figure out why Candy Seller (aka Dulce for me) has appeared so late in this story.
To learn why Sal is still hanging around.
For Mauro to SHOW UP ALIVE, for heaven's sake. It's been too long, already.
For Cesar and Lucrecia to learn Florencia has been long dead. HaHa, the "joke" is on them.
For Cecy and Uli to get the heck out of the lives of Ivan and Mariana.
For Flavia and Heriberto to share more than work, a bonfire and distributing flyers.
To clear up the seeming mystery, perpetuated by certain characters not in the telenovela, that Consta's baby is not Max's.
To see how Max and Amaya will ever be able to get back together before the end.

Que Te Perdone #59: Dog In A Manger Danger for Mat; Mac Is Made; And Sacramental Sin May Be “In”


Fortunately for those of us in Viewerville who’d just eaten, Fausto suddenly comes to his senses.  He stops himself from ruining his whole political future through the folly of forcing himself onto his sleeping “foster daughter,” and thus causing a sordid sex scandal the likes of which that pueblocito has NEVER seen.  Renata comes into the hall.   Feisty is safely there and tells her he’s just on his way to bed, that didn’t want to disturb her.  He then walks off, presumably to take a quick cold shower before bed.

<<R  Simoneta promising to be a good little mistress.  At Sev's request, she will try to make Humberto a rental offer on the Alcocer house that he can’t refuse!

F>>Pru practices her cougar skills on Lardo’s equally useless friend, Tomas.  He’s willing to play gigolo to her cougar, her being married is no obstacle until he learns she is the wife of Dr. Zapata and Santa Lucita es buen chiquita!  (too small and everybody knows everything)  He strokes her ego as he kisses her hand:  he didn’t know Doctorcito had such good taste!  Pru leans against the hood of her car, heaves a big sigh and gives Tomas a twinkly finger wave as he drives away.

Over at the Alcocer place Padre accompanies Adelina as she makes some finishing touches .  Uh oh!  Adelina discovers Aldonza’s pistol as she is putting away some clothes!  Neither she nor Padre J like it one bit!

Aldonza is picking Renato up some coffee for Renato at the (funeral home?) cafeteria when Gaby, standing behind her, corrects the order Aldonza has just given the clerk.  This is a lead in for Gaby to tell Aldonza that she and Renato were going together until recently but they broke up.  Say it with me now, because of Aldonza!  [Hoo boy, she may not wear twirly skirts but Donnie’s got Roberta’s dude magnet gene!]  Gaby tells her that Renato is in love with her and she doesn’t know if it’s mutual, she just doesn’t want Aldonza to hurt him because he’s very emotionally vulnerable right now.

Amores con trampa #10 Isa and Gallo: 'don't let me be misunderstood!'

Refrito: Isa talks on phone, about not forgetting a date and swearing no one will know what “I” did.


Maria hears this and looks alarmed. Isa sees her and freezes like she got caught stealing a lipstick from Walmart.

Lo Nuevo:

Perpetua notices Facundo is eating like a bird. (and he usually eats like a bull) She guesses it’s about Maria leaving them alone at dinner time. Facundo is surprised, Maria never leaves them to eat alone. Maria is changing…

Isa, after getting Maria’s name right a few times, asks what she is doing there, and whines at Conchita for not alerting her Maria was here. Isa acts a bit strange telling Maria that she got there at the perfect time.

Then Isa and Maria at a wine bar/restaurant. (one of those wine tasting restaurants with wine bottles all around). Isa tries to convince Maria that Facundo won’t be any more angry if she gets home later than if she went home now. Isa keeps trying to feed Maria B.S. about her career just taking off.

The rest of the Carmonas jump back on the couch to keep watching the 3D movies. Porfirio gets scared about what he is seeing, he says the women look way too thin… Perpetua offers Porfirio to give him a 3D massage.

Santi and Stefani are toasting to their reunion… Stefani wishes there will be very good news soon… Santi wants to know what is it. She plays him to wait a bit. She says she has not received her money transfer from Spain. Santi plays the resourceful knight in shining armour… She drops the bomb of the amount… 2 Million pesos. Santi swallows hard but then plays it as if its nothing, they can go to his office and he‘ll get it. But on one condition. She has to go out to dinner with him. (She looks him up and down like ‘bingo!’)

Facundo brings Beto some drink (it must be alcoholic, since El Gallo says he sneaked it out of the MIL) El Gallo tells Gallito1 that he feels a bit off-put by Maria’s behavior and how things are getting complicated lately. But then he says the speech about them moving to the city so the kids can get more opportunities. But there are things you can’t forget like your roots. With a lot of emotion and tears, El Gallo reminisces when they could just ride horses together when they felt a bit enclosed/restrained. Beto says ‘we can do it right now!’ They are heading to get the horses.

Thank all that is holy, the writers started with Cris and Val and didn't leave me hanging. (Then again, they left me with contratct/business dialog...which I hate and never quite get.)

So yes. Cristobal(Cris) leaned in and for a split second I really thought I would be doing one of my now (in)famous Grumpy Recaps™. Luckily, he stopped himself. Valeria(Val) of course kept pushing him to give in. She reminds him of how things were when they were in Spain and says they've become cold and distant with each other since returning to Santa Lucia. It's kind of sad that Cris has to explain to her that fabulous sex does not a great couple make. There's more to a healthy relationship than that. He still cares for her and that's why he doesn't want to hurt her. Val thinks it's because Aldonza offered herself to him and since she was a novelty, Cris thought her better than Val. Cris tells her not to talk just to hear herself talk. Aldonza doesn't want to have anything to do with him. (And he's still not marrying you b*tch so... HA!) Wow, Thelma Madrigal goes Rudolph when she cries.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 58 Full Recap by TN4Ever


Refried: Mat eavesdrops on Diego’s proposal to Abigail. Why is he so distraught? After all, he has to make it work with Diana, so he really needs to start letting go of Abi.

New: Well, Macaria’s yucky, downturned mouth is not new. She is crying in the forest, and has a flashback of her younger self with Fausto. He is seducing her with pretty words and false promises, it looks like right in the same spot where she is there remembering 25+ years later. In the flashback, she gives it the old college try to get a promise of marriage before going too far, and he does promise that he will marry the woman he loves, social class doesn’t matter. He’s technically saying the truth, but Macaria doesn’t realize that he is NOT talking about her. She says her mama warned her that men like him won’t buy the cow once they get the milk for free. Will he promise her he’s not like that? No, he won’t promise that – he will swear that. Poor Mac, this scene gives good insight into what she is always telling Abi about men, which apparently is the same thing her mom told her. Mac doesn’t earn many points while parenting, but she does seem sincere in wanting Abi to avoid her mistakes with men. One final thought: very good physical casting with both Macarias. They resemble each other and are age appropriate.

La Sombra del Pasado #37 - Wed 4/8 -It's raining men. Hallelujah.

So, what's it gonna be, Cande?  Did you love him, or didn't you?  'Cause Sev thinks if you really did love him, you would have forgiven him.  "Ha!  Like you would have forgiven me if I'd cheated."  Cande doesn't accept Sev's "well, men are different" excuse.  To her it's the same.  She went all in when she married him and she trusted him to live up to his end of the "marriage" bargain, but instead he's turned her life into a living hell.  "Hell looks pretty comfy from here.  If you wanted to, you could have left.  Maybe you're still feeling some of that love you said you used to have."  Puh-leeze!  Cande says it's "pura conveniencia" (purely convenience, interest, or benefit).

4/8/15 #164 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Chava is now fused to Sofia’s side; it’ll take a miracle to dislodge him!

We relive Renzi’s final moments and I don’t mind seeing him die again. 

Renzi Realty
Chava has taken over the questioning of an employee and Tavarez doesn’t seem to mind.  Employee had no idea Renzi was into illegal doings.  Tavarez warns him he could be looking at a few years in the slammer if it turns out he’s an accomplice.  Employee nervously agrees to cooperate but he really doesn’t know anything.  He just knows Renzi left and he looked very anxious.  Chava takes this to mean his suspicions are confirmed.  There was something rotten going on in this company.   Tevarez seems to think this confirms his theory Renzi was behind the violence in the hood.  Really? On what evidence? Oh, and Chava adds the sabotage at the factory and his races.  Renzi was surely trying to take advantage of everyone in the hood.  Irma found out about it and that’s why Renzi tried to kill her.  ok, but where’s the evidence?  Chava insists Patricio’s hands are dirty as well.  Chava is sure Pato knew what Renzi did to Irma.  In fact, he’s sure Patricio could tell them where to find Renzi, Jimmy Hoffa, and the Mayan gold.  Tevarez will continue with his investigation and will review all the computers.  He’s sure they’ll get a lot of new information.  “Investigation Scmestigation,” Chava says.  Tevares must listen to him and interrogate Patricio.  Surely he’s the key to capturing his cousin.  Tevares is looking at him as though thinking, “Gee, why didn’t I think about this before?”

Amores con trampa #8 4/8/15

I'll get right to it...

Facundo chokes on his wasabi and María and Isabel(Isa) jump to his aid. Isa even offers to do mouth to mouth (I would too!) María pushes her away. Facundo recovers. Isa asks if he's ok and María jealously guards her man. Conchita finally arrives with water.

Estefany talks to a mystery person on the phone. Santiago doesn't suspect a thing. Women have ways of making men believe anything. She hasn't called this mystery person in a while...but she has everything perfectly under control. She hopes to see this person very soon! (The plot thickens!)

Facundo can't believe Isa would be in love with him. Well, María thinks she is. Isa has even started using "tú" with him. Facundo still isn't convinced. Isa is a city gal-elegant and refined. She wouldn't go for a ranchero like him. María is just jealous. She wonders what Isa has that she doesn't and shows a little leg. Facundo assures her that she's a beautiful woman and they start to snog...but Facundo stops mid-snog and says he's going to take a bath. Duuuude. Not cool.

La Sombra del Pasado, 4-7-15, Capitulo #36: Oh, it’s not over. It’s just begun…

Recap by HellaShelle

Things are just about ready in El Santuario house. Adelina thinks it’s like time never passed, everything’s exactly the same. No, Aldonza reminds her. It’s not the same without her mother. Adelina gathers her up into a hug. When does Aldie want to move back in? Aldie says tomorrow. Adelina thinks that’s a little fast. Despite what she said two seconds ago, the house isn’t 100% ready yet, but Aldie doesn’t think there’s a reason to wait; it’s livable. They’re discussing it when Emmanuel comes in to tell Aldie someone’s looking for her. It’s Cris.

He needs to talk to her. It’s important. Well, she has nothing to say. But he does. But she doesn’t. But he does – Thank God Joaquin comes in to ask if there’s a problem. No, Cris just wants to talk to Aldonza, that’s all. She tells him he can state his piece and then leave. He would like some privacy to share his inner most thoughts and feelings and here, away from his house, he can actually get it. He and Aldonza head outside to talk.

4/7/15 #163 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Stork is a no-show and Clemenza pays a call

Irma being Irma – I love it!  Irma screams and swears she didn’t try to commit suicide – unfortunately, Aracely had already opened the door where Renzi’s goon was keeping watch --- and he heard everything as Irma finally let it out that Renzi tried to kill her!  tan-tan-TAN!!

Empresa Ripoll
Dani accuses Ollie of sending out a hit on Lucas.  She thinks he’s just playing cool and just waiting for an opportune moment to pounce.  Ollie tells her he could care less about her suspicions but suggests she remember Lucas has a turbulent past with some shady characters, any of whom would have been happy to provide the beating.  Dani refuses to believe Lucas hangs out with such characters now and Ollie tells her not to be too sure.  Dani is furious and leaves without another word. 

Goon Report
Goon calls Renzi – “La Vieja just spilled the beans that you and Manjarrez threw her off that roof to kill  her.” ruh-roh.  Renzi is furious!  His response is very disappointing.  After all this time, his only response is that they’ll need to disappear and starts to empty out the safe!  Really?  Why didn’t he just have her whacked when he had the chance?  He’s had her followed all this time.  Renzi, you’ve let me down.

Upcoming Telenovelas: On the horizon Via Stevey

This was posted as an update to last year's post but I thought it deserved its own spot in the sun. It will be very useful to me, your blog mom, who is not keeping up very well (sorry).

Hi everyone!!

With 'Amores con trampa' having just started, 'Hasta el fin del mundo' soon to be coming to its conclusion, and 'Que te perdone dios' and 'La sombra del pasado' chugging right along, I thought some of you might be interested in how the next few months are going to be progressing telenovela-wise, down Mexico way, anyways....

- Sunday, April 19th will be the final episode of 'Hasta el fin del mundo'

- Monday, April 20th will be the 'Gran Estreno' of 'Lo imperdonable', in the HEFDM time-slot (this is a Salvador Mejia production starring Ana Brenda Contreras, Ivan Sanchez, Grettel Valdez, and Sergio Sendel)

- Monday, May 11th will be the final episode of 'La sombra del pasado'

- Then, for 2 weeks, 'Que te perdone dios' will air back-to-back episodes both in it's original timeslot, AND in the one previously held by LSDP (which is one hour earlier)

- After this, on Monday, May 25th we will have the 'Gran Estreno' of 'La Vecina' (Lucero Suarez produced novela starring Esmerelda Pimentel and Juan Diego Covarrubias) in the earlier timeslot, and QTPD will go back to just one hour at its original time.

- Mid-June sometime, we will have the Gran Finale of 'Muchacha italiana viene y casarse'

- Following 'Muchacha italiana viene y casarse' will be 'Amor de barrio (a Roberto Hernandez production (he did 'Heridas de amor') novela starring Renata Notni, Mane de la Parra, Alejandra Garcia, Jessica Coch as the villain and Manuel Landeta)

And finally, a couple of other things to note...

- Following the end of 'Que te perdone dios' will be the remake of the classic 'Amor en silencio' (which I'm hearing will feature Alejandra Barros and- interestingly- the return of Leticia Calderon in some role...)

- And, last but not least, fpr those of you who prefer your comedies- around the end of August, when 'Amores con trampa' reaches it's conclusion we are going to have the latest, original Rosy Ocampo novela, 'Antes muerte que Lichita' starring Eduardo Santamaria, Chantal Andere, Ingrid Martz, and Sylvia Pasquel.

Also, to give you a better grasp as to the progression of novelas down this way as opposed to up there...

'Hasta el fin del mundo' is at Capitulo 180

'La sombra del pasado' is at Capitulo 106

'Que te perdone dios' is at Capitulo 36

'Amores con trampa' is at Capitulo 25

'Muchacha italiana vieni y casarse' is at Capitulo 121

This should be able to give everybody a good idea as to how many capitulos each novela has left before their ultimate conclusion.

I hope this is of use and/or interest to you all! :-)

Calling all bloggers (and readers): we are under spam attack

Hello friends,

Owing to a sudden onslaught of spam comments, I've changed the settings on comments so that after seven or ten days comments will NOT be automatically published, but will be submitted for moderation. I believe (but I'm not sure) that each individual blogger will start seeing a lot of comments to be moderated. It's now your responsibility to kill the spam ones and let the others go through. I would do it, but I only get the comments put on my own posts. If you have questions let me know.

And readers, I suggest you get your comments up promptly (unless you are a spam generating robot) because later they may not be appearing in a timely manner!

I don't know why blogger is suddenly letting us down like this. Or whether the spammers suddenly noticed we are getting about 12,000 visits a day (we're up to around 14 million total now!) and figure it's worth it to attack us.

Hasta El Fin Del Mundo #157 4/6/15 Javier is Dead, Irma May Not Be Far Behind

I missed about the first 15 minutes or so of this episode so if someone could fill in in the comments that would be much appreciated.

Monday's Episode:
Everybody is gathered at Lupe's house for Javier's wake. Apparently Sofia won't be getting the entire race prize check because Chava sprang for a better casket for Javier than a simple wooden fruit crate. Then again, Chava must have saved on embalming costs because, let's face it, most of Javier was already pickled. Lots of tears and "I'm so sorry for your loss" from those attending. Sofia and Alexa give Lupe' their condolences and offer to help in any way they can. Marisol sits on the stairs and glares at Dani.

Silvana and Pato take a breather from sex to watch the news. The news anchor solemnly announces that Salvador Cruz's happiness at his victory was marred by the death of his father shortly after the race. Pato and Silvana laugh at this turn of events because Pato hates Chava and Silvana is just a bitch.

We are over! La Sombra Del Pasado #35 04/06/2015

Hello my patio peeps! Here goes your recap, enjoy!

First, I'd like to announce to the patio that I also have my little beady eyes set on Renato, and I'll throw rocks at anyone who comes between us, you've been warned!

We pick up where we left off last week, Aldi is telling Renato that she kissed Cristobal because she loves him and tha even though she loves him she also understands that they can't be together. I'm all for honesty but when you know a guy is into you it's just kinda mean to tell him that you love someone else, at least I think so. Renato to his credit does not pitch a fit like so many other telenovela men would do and instead tells Aldi that he worries because she is in love with the son of the man she wants to destroy. Aldi changes the subject and invites Renato on a tour of the property, he agrees to go.

In the hacienda of no love and zero privacy Cris is in bed with a book-but his thoughts are actually on a conversation he had with Mel, when Mel told him he should take the bull by the horns and fight for the woman he loves instead of attending engagement parties. Candy walks in on Cris and quickly questions where he went off to during the party, he tells her he went for a walk, he was very uncomfortable with all the strange people and needed a walk to clear his head. Candela does not buy it and finally Cris snaps at her and tells her to tell him where he was if she does not believe him, she makes it seem like Cris is the one with the problem and tells him she'll leave because he's clearly in a bad mood-umm with a mother like her it's a surprise he hasn't started cutting himself to express his inner angst. Candy take a moment to ask Cris is Val liked the ring and he says that she did.

Amores con trampa #6 4/6/15 Is it just me or is it hot in here?

There will be only 3 recaps this week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We can discuss Tuesday's and Thursday's episode in the comments.

Beto has just stopped Facundo from signing the papers that would make him business partners with Santiago. Beto informs his father that Santiago is just trying to rob him. He knows this because Rocío, Santaigo's own niece told him!

The security guard thinks he should have listened to his mother and become a fireman or un soldado de *BLEEP*.

Santiago wants everyone to calm down. Esteban thinks there must be some misunderstanding. Santiago explains that Rocío has some psychological problems and is on medication. She's troubled. She's being very difficult lately. That must be why she told Beto that her uncle was trying to cheat Facundo. Beto asks Santiago to deny his company is in trouble. Santiago comes right out with the truth. Yes. The company is going though a difficult moment right now. But that doesn't mean he's trying to steal from Facundo. Facundo thinks he should think about the deal a little more. Santiago understands. Handshakes all around.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: DUEÑOS DEL PARAÍSO, TIERRAS DE REYES, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of April 6, 2015


Dueños del Paraíso is in últimas semanas at 10pm/9C, or as we think of it around here, the NarcoHour.   Look for the latest season of El Señor de los Cielos to begin around April 21 at that same time.

Meanwhile, Tierras de Reyes continues chugging along, the middle child in the primetime lineup that is finally getting a little attention.

The new show this week is Avenida Brasil, a Portuguese language novela that was a monster of a hit (and an unprecedented money-maker) when it originally aired on Brazilian TV from March to October 2012.  It went on to achieve remarkable international success.  For a socioeconomic perspective on its huge impact, take a look at this piece in Forbes from October 19, 2012.

Quiero Amarte (Week 29-Apr 6) Highlights & Discussion

MUSINGS FOR THIS WEEK

Did the perpetrators of the majority of the evil deeds committed on QA reach their zenith this past week?
Is this the week their downward slide begins as revelations and confrontations begin?
How much longer can the master criminal minds, Lucrecia and her evil spawn, Cesar, prevail against the forces for good?
What about the deeds of all the minor criminal minds, Ulises, Cecelia and Cipriano? Will they be blocked or continue to interfere in the lives of the Good Folks?
And what about the minor, minor one, Whoracio? He is merely a tool in someone else’s hands at present, but could he start to think for himself again—for either good or evil?
And what about the persons who merely impede the path to justice and love, Sal, Tía Becca, Efrain, Consta, what is their fate to be?

We can only hold our collective breaths and hope the Good Folks learn quickly who they are up against, protect themselves and succeed in bringing these criminals to justice.
(But we also beg the telenovela gods to hurry up and have Mauro meet his younger self (as Dr. Guapo) and hope it isn't because of or doesn't cause another heart attack.)

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #156 Javier Ruins the Party!

Racetrack:  Team Chava's supporters are dressed in red and holding up signs!  Lupe prays to the virgincita and Sophia yells that she loves Salvador!  Armando gives Chava some tips and a pep talk!  When you get in the car, turn on the engine and focus.  Geez, I'm glad Armando made that clear.  Also, remember that our good stuff comes in the last laps.  Anyways, there are some crashes, engines revving and Chava wins!  He jumps out the Patotas and on to the roof.  Um, I thought he was gonna get intimate with the car when he laid flat on the roof and kissed it.  OK, so Chava is escorted to the winners stage by a half-naked chick and he sprays champagne and raises the trophy.  While being interviewed by the Televisa reporter, does Chava give any credit to God or the virgincita that he's been constantly begging for help to win?  Nope!  How about Armando?  Surely he gives big ups to Armando on national TV for his success! The Armando who slaved all night and sometimes made his kid sleep in the garage while he selflessly worked.  Of course not, Chava gives all credit of his success to Sophia.  He tells the world that her love repaired Patotas!  Sophia's kisses filled the tires and painted the car.  This declaration gets him a GDA (Global Display of Affection) from Sophie!  Chava offers to give Sophia (not Armando, not his mother, not Marisol) the loot that he won! They make out and she declares that she loves Chava and wants to spend the rest of her life with him.  Chava says that he is lucky to have Sophia.

La Sombra del Pasado #34 4-3-15 Sealed with a Kiss?



Let’s rejoin the little party Cande arranged in her dollhouse called “Las Animas”.  Our girl Aldonza has shown a brave and lively face up until the point when Cris and Vale are trotted out to the stage and Cris puts a ring on it.  All the other guests are in front of the stage clapping and calling for “besos.”  Aldonza gets up and leaves the table where she and Renato sit alone.  She detains him from following her but Sev has carefully noted her departure and leaves the stage.  Renato notices Sev heading in the direction that Aldonza went and follows.  From the stage Cris manages to sweep the audience with his eyes before Vale pulls him back to her lips. 

Quickly checking in with the break-in at Hum’s office we see Lardo has hidden under Hum's desk while a patrolling officer shines the flashlight into the room and sees the chaos.  Tomas slips up behind the officer and knocks him out.  Lardo calls Tomas an idiot and the two idiots escape.

E-man and Lola sit cheesing in each other's faces.  She wants to know if he’s tried the candies from the little candy casita she gave him.  No, he’s saving it for a special occasion.  Like, for an anniversary, Lola grins?  Seems E-man has a hankering for another drinkipoo.  Lola wonders if he wants to get drunk to avoid her kisses.  She thinks if she hadn’t robbed that kiss at the stables, she wouldn’t have stolen his heart either.  She makes E-man swear that he doesn’t like Mary.  Well, Mary is cool and she’s good looking but, ok, he swears and she rewards him with a kiss.

Amores con trampa #5 4/3/15

Thanks again to NovelaMaven and Marta for all the work you did this week. Jarifa, thank you too for the comments you left earlier today!

I'll get right to the new stuff (bear in mind I miss most of the jokes)...

Esteban tries to convince the workers not to quit. He understands they haven't been paid...He hasn't been paid either! But the company needs them. He promises to give them all bonuses if they stay. Santiago arrives with Facundo and Beto. He tries to convince Facundo what a great project it is. It smells like comfort and well-being for families! Facundo introduces his son and Facundo meets one of the workers. Santiago desperately tries to close the deal, but Beto thinks this is not the best time to make decisions. They've only just arrived in the city! Facundo agrees Facundo wants to think about it (echarle una buena pensadera.) Where did the soccer ball come from?

Amores con trampa #4 4/2/15

Here's a discussion space if you want/need it.

Marta wrote up the following and I just copied and pasted from her.

YOU ARE WONDERFUL MARTA! THANK YOU!


Here are some quotes and comments about ep 4.

Both Santiago and Isabel refer to Maria as ‘la guarachuda’

Maria: El changarro is cute! (referring to Isa’s boutique locale)

So Yoya’s real name is Carmen.

Beto: sera mejor que se vaya, si no… le voy a dejar la cara mas machucada que un venado en carretera!
(LOL!!) you better go now… otherwise I will smash your face worse than a deer on a highway!

OMG that Francisca is a B with capital BEE.

La Sombra del Pasado #33 4/2/15 ¿Fiesta o Pesadilla?

Disclaimer: I haven't been sleeping well this week, so this might end up being a quick job. I tried to take a nap this afternoon after work, but the neighbors are pulling out their concrete patio...with a jack hammer. That's not hyperbole.

This episode felt a little like filler-esque set up...but at the same time oddly tense.

Directo al grano
  • Severiano(Sev) instructs Abelardo(Lardo) to break into Dr. Humberto's office, locate the rental contract, take clear and legible pictures of and then trash the office to make it look like a robbery. Lardo gets a wad of cash for the job.
  • Renato shares a meal with his mother. She is again overcome with a stabbing pain in her head. Renato begs her to take care of herself and see the neurologist. He will go with her. She finally agrees. His mother quips that he seems more like a father than a son.
  • Adelina thanks Emmanuel(E-man) for helping to clean the house, especially since it's his day off. She worries what Sev would do if he found out. Aldonza and Joaquin arrive with new locks. Adelina's eyes are google as she watches Joaquin install the new locks. She thinks about her conversation with Padre Jeronimo(Padre J) when she admitted to only having an admiration and respect for him and nothing more.

Que Te Perdone Dios Capitulo 53 - Whats a Promise??? - Full Recap

Recap :Courtesy of TN4EVER

Refrito: Helena applies guilt with a trowel to Mateo, saying he’ll matarla en vida (kill her in life, make her as good as dead) if he leaves his wife and child. She is firmly on Diana’s side. “Even above my happiness?” “Yes. It’s the job of the parents to make sacrifices for their children.”

New: Comandante Barragan approaches Motor at the mechanic shop and asks if Motor had a chance to look over the car in which Fausto had his accident. Yes, he did and it does indeed appear that somebody le metió mano (put a hand in it, messed with it). Barragan says that whoever messed with Fausto’s vehicle also messed with the Padre’s. Motor is like, “That would be me.” But Barragan expresses his faith that Motor is innocent, that Marcelino framed him, and that they will find the true culprit.

Lucio is sitting at Mac’s table in her house when she walks in. She gets a little frisky, sitting on his lap and saying she never thought she would say it, but she missed him. I didn’t quite catch their whole conversation, but it seemed like he said she was full of it and she said yeah, I am. She asks after Max, and he says Max is safe in Mexico City. Lucio asks if she made use of Benito since she was missing Lucio, just like she makes use of him (Lucio) when Fausto rejects her. Then he grabs her in a choke hold and says if Benito caves to Barragan about their involvement with Fausto’s accident, he will kill Benito. I’m not sure why he needs to be choking Mac as he says this, but she seems okay with it and they kiss.


The twins are together, and Daniela says she wishes Lucio would go away because he makes her nervous. He’s obviously a criminal. “No worse than our father, and you handled him just fine,” says Ximena, teasing us with a back story that we don’t know yet. Anyway, Daniela needs to pull herself together and run the show for a while, because Ximena will be checking into a spa for some R&R before her hubby comes home from the hospital.

Thanks to TF and TN4ever for the highlights recap. --ed.

1. Motor hits up the bars after getting rejected (reminds me of poor Germán in LM)

2. Lucio returns and threatens Benito after telling him Barragan questioned him about Fausto's accident. 

3. Amanda, Vicenta, and Constanza chat about the happenings at the hacienda. Amanda and Vicenta remind a confused Constanza that Renata has secrets of her own. 

4. Dianaconda slithers in Diego's direction to turn him to the dark side by making a deal that he needs to lie 
to Mateo about what he really saw that time at La Enramada when Di and Fausto were getting it on so that Diego can woo Abii without any interference from Mateo. And so that Mateo will regret divorcing Diana.

5. Diego and Mateo talk. Diego almost regrets lying 
and is about to tell Mateo the truth when Helena arrives and takes Mateo away so that he can have a civil conversation with Diana.

6. Diana "insists" Helena not make Mateo talk to her if he doesn't want to. Helena gives her support to Diana.   Helena lectures Mateo about taking responsibility for "his" child. Helena reveals to Mateo that his father was 
a jerk (that's at least partly the truth).

7. Helena reveal[s] a partial truth to Mateo about his dad, that he was not a good guy. She neglected to mention the rather glaring detail that Fausto is his dad. But she poured the guilt thick onto Mateo, to not leave his wife and child the way his own father did. Helena was distraught, saying how that man ruined her life, destroyed her heart.

 8. Diego and Mateo continue their conversation. Diego lies and says the  woman he saw with Fausto was Mia. Mateo remembers the "fake" kiss. Mateo wonders why Abi said it was Diana. 


9. Julio and Eduviges declare their "love" each other. Julio wants to keep their relationship a secret from Efi. Julio plans his "business deal" with the sisters.

4/1 Wed #159 Hasta el Fin del Mundo – Javier dies; Armando goes back to Irma; Pato marries Silvana; Aracely gives up and moves to Monterrey



APRIL FOOL!!!!

Penthouse del Perdición
Geronimo lets it be known that no way, no how is that “tipo” going to compete in the Big Race and stabs his desk to make the point clear.  He makes sure Aldo knows perfectly well there is to be no evidence.  Aldo assures him he knows how to do his job.

Empresa Ripoll
Chava and Sofia arrive at Ripoll.  Paco is there to meet them.  They walk in arm in arm and are greeted by Pato who informs Sofia everything is ready.  Dani also greets Paco very kindly and joins the group.  I feel as though we’re on the Yellow Brick Road.  Sofia=Dorothy, Paco=the wise scarecrow, Dani=the Tinman who’s found his heart, that leaves Chava=Toto.

Courthouse – feels like a white trench coat day
Aracely meets with Chava’s attorney.  She informs Irma via phone that the psych-test results are in.  Irma gets her vicious on and tells Aracely to get on it already!  Her son is in the balance!  Aracely doesn’t take too kindly to her outburst and tells her she’s on it and will call her later.  Yeesh, calmate!

La Sombra del Pasado #32 - Wed 4/1 - In which the fools don't even recognize their own foolishness

Sev explains to Abelardo that he needs a discreet, reliable henchman…and preferably one who shuts up until Sev tells him to speak.

Aldonza has no intention of going to the engagement party, which Adelina is happy about.  As she is happy to see the pretty, pretty flowers…and the sweet card, "None of these flowers is as beautiful as you, but they try."  Are they from Renato, or aren't they?  What about Cristobal?  Aldonza doesn't think so, since he was there and since he asked who sent them, and since he's on the verge of getting married.  And really, Aldonza really doesn't want to talk boys…she'd rather clean house.  Screw that!  I say keep talking about boys if those are the only options!

Amores con trampa #3 1 Apr 2015 Animal House Party!! poor Petunia!!

Refritos:


Santiago tries to convince Facundo to invest in the builder company. Santiago’s company builds condo buildings.

Isa meets Margarito… then Porfirio almost hand-feeds her a boiled egg… gets flirty with her. Perpetua nags him.

Perpetua tells Isa that in their hometown they called him ‘el mil amores’ and ‘el todas mias’ (all women are mine)

They give isa some warm drink… jumirichi (I think it had a worm in the glass because she had something in her mouth when she spit on Perpetua.

Isa falls in the pool, Facundo jumps after her.

Lo Nuevo:

Santiago feels embarrassed. Isa gets a bit of a wardrobe malfunction… she runs back to her house with a hand on butt.

Back in their bedroom, Isa nags at Santiago for forcing her to go there with him. Why are you so interested in being friends with them?... She keeps whining and demanding he tell her what is going on. Insists… insists… you can’t handle the truth!!! You really want the truth?? Here it goes… the company is totally bankrupt. We are going to loose everything. The house, the company.. everything!! … that is why I need to get close to those rancheros. The govt paid them $10 Mill for their lands. If we can convince them to invest in our business, we can survive. He has tried all other avenues. No one will lend him a peso. ‘either the corn planting farmers… or the streets.’ Isa is in disbelief. Why me!??

As soon as we have their money they will have to leave penniless… He promises Isa that it will be as he says. He cuddles her in his arms.

Facundo gets a bit tlc from his wife and family. Maria comments that the neighbors are a bit misbehaved. Facundo mentions that the husband is not as strict/firm as he should be. Facundo will go to his business tomorrow and will talk with him. Facundo announces to his family that he is about to become an entrepreneur. They all congratulate him.

At Santiago’s office, Santiago is showing Facundo some videos. Serves him a whole lot of BS of visualizing Facundo and Maria playing tennis, on the Jacuzzi, with the family and the farm animals all around them… and will do good for the community… success!!! Santiago presents Esteban to Facundo. Facundo squeezes Esteban’s hand. Esteban plays his part telling Santiago in front of Facundo that someone just bought a condo from them cash. Santiago milks the lie for all its worth. Facundo asks how much should I invest. Santiago says not much… just some… 50 Million pesos (ballpark is about half of what Facundo has). Facundo impactado at the amount.

La Sombra del Pasado #31, 03/31/2015

Recap courtesy of HellaShelle

Severiano (Sev) saves Abelardo (Lardo) from the thugs that were beating him up. They jump off of him as soon as Sev says boo. Sev tells Lardo to get in the car and shushes the gang leader when he tries to explain that they were just playing with him.

Aldonza (Aldie) and Renato (Ren) are strolling through the streets. Aldonza has just shared her secret recipe for frying monsters in hell aka her big plans, but we were not privy to it. Whatever it is, Renato seems to think it’s a good idea, but wants to study the contract and local laws to make sure they can do it legally. He recognizes that Sev’s very powerful so they can’t jump into this willy nilly. Aldonza says she’s willing to put her life on the line for this. Renato says he wouldn’t recommend that as her lawyer…but as a man, he’ll walk into Hell with her if she asks. She smiles, thanks him and says that’s just what she needed to hear. In return he thanks her for her company. Um…seriously? I already feel for his poor, broken heart.

3/31/15 Tues #158 Aracely’s tears will continue……HASTA EL FIN DEL MUNDO!!!

Casa Ripoll – Casa de Lagrimas
Sofia is overwrought upon learning her dad (technically stepdad), Octavio, isn't the hero she thought him to be.  Greta explains how Octavio threatened Paco's life if she ever told the truth about him stealing the chocolate formulas.  But she can no longer remain silent.  Paco should no longer continue to sacrifice himself, she won't allow it!  Even if it means Octavio now has further reason to be angry with her (yeah, like he’s alive).

Sofia can't believe the man who raised her was capable of stealing her father's formulas.  Greta confirms he unfortunately was and Paco's love for her is so strong that he asked Greta not to tell Sofia the truth.  He didn't want to ruin Octavio's supposedly irreproachable image in Sofia's eyes.  “He asked me to tell you that Coria was the one responsible for the theft.  But I can't.  I've owed this clarification for some time, for Paco.  This family owes everything we have to him.”  Sofia wails, “Then all those strict rules imposed on me by Octavio were all a farce!”  Greta explains Octavio hated Paco.  He never forgave her for choosing Paco.  That may have been why he was so adamant that they marry under those circumstances.  He and her mother forced her into the marriage.  She admits that as a husband, Octavio gave her many nice things.  She had his affection and loyalty.  As a father he gave them all his love.  But there was a dark side to him.  He was overcome by ambition and the need for power.  Sofia never would have thought that of him.  Greta is so very sorry to have to tell her this and cause her so much pain.  She's also sorry to have gone against Paco's wishes. 

Sofia can't take anymore and leaves the room in tears.  waaaaaah

Amores con Trampa #2 31 Nar 2015 ... opposites attract... times four? Isa smells animals stinch, Santiago smells money!!

Refritos:


Isabel hysterical, not knowing what language the ‘rancheros’ speak. Rocio finds it amusing that the neighbors can drive her aunt that crazy. ‘neta?? que oso!’ Felipe actually glad they HAVE neighbors, no?... Isabel bans them from coming close to any of the neighbors.

Of course the dare makes it even more fun for Rocio… so she ends up presenting herself to Beto (who is obviously smitten with her) and his horse ‘El Pinto’, Beto offers her a ride, she gladly hops on (must not be that easy with the tight black leather pants). Isa comes out of her house and faints at seeing them.

Lo Nuevo:

Rocio leads the route. They are seen by the neighbors, who start gossiping since Rocio is Isabel’s niece.

Rocio and Beto have arrived at someone’s house. A young guy who is dressed ready for the beach is amused at seeing Rocio’s new neighbor, stating Beto is ‘very rural’.

Santiago gets home and starts shrieking at the sight of the horses. He finds Isabel fainted and gets scared. ‘Puchis, are you ok??’ She wakes up, asks if she is dead, she WANTS to be dead!! … They are in disgrace, it is the 7 plagues of the Apocalypsis!! ..

Rocio kisses Diego (who we find out later is her bf, at least that’s what she says) in front of Beto who is not enjoying. Rocio goes in Diego’s house after he invited her to his pool. Beto is not amused, so much not that he calls her ‘Loca’… (but he can't take the credit, Diego called her 'loca' when he came out the door)

Santiago (with wife) comes over to meets Facundo (with wife)… Santiago says they have a situation that concerns him. Isabel says ‘your son kidnapped our daughter!’ Maria and Facundo are surprised but don’t have much time to react, here comes Beto riding back (alone!). Beto says he dropped their daughter with her bf… Ok crisis over. Facundo moves on to the next item on the agenda… Let’s get along and spend some time together!! He tells Santiago that the government bought their lands saying they were going to build a major highway and an oil refinery in there. Facundo says they bought the house ‘cash’. Isa is about to have a stroke. Santiago is quick to recover and puts his hand on Facundo’s shoulder ‘welcome!’.

Que Te Perdone Dios #49 on Monday, March 30th, 2015. "Caught in the Act?"

(There aren't enough things in this world with Marinara Sauce on or in them. MaPat's sex-based jokes are enough of that for me when I've had Coca-Cola and want to touch Jorge Gallegos' prominent breasts. The word-of-the-day is Doohickey.)

Amores con trampa, Ep. 1, Monday, 3/30/15: Cowabunga!


After a few episodes, we can all settle in.  We know it's a comedy.  These good actors know that we know.  I'm counting on the writers to let the actors do their stuff without elbowing us too many times. (Did you get the joke? Huh? Huh?  Was it funny?  Answer me!)

In this first episode, the salt of the earth Carmona family mooooves to the city, where they meet the snooty familia Velasco.  The Velascos happen to be in a vulnerable position right now.  Their construction company is in trouble.  Maybe the bumbling Carmona family will be just the cash cow the Velascos need...

How it all begins

Blissed out.  A man and his cow.

Stumpy gets found out! La Sombra del Pasado #30 03/30/2015

Recap is done!

Renato is such a doll:

 In the towns restaurant Aldonza is with Renato, she tells him that she needs his help but she has to warn him, she is going to be fighting against a very powerful enemy. Renato is down to help and Aldonza tells him very clearly that she appreciates his willingness to help her but that he should not confuse things: he is there as her friend and attorney-nothing else. Renato tells her he will be there for her no matter what and maybe someday things between them will change...Aldi (Aldonza) again tells him that she is not ready to have a relationship with anyone. 

Candela is a witch:

But we all knew that, sadly poor E-man keeps encountering her and she takes every opportunity to be a b*tch to him. E-man came over to the big house to speak to Cristobal, instead he finds Candy who lies and tells him Cris is in bed, because unlike others he gets to bed at a decent time, she sends him away and makes sure to tell him not repeat his error again. Poor E-man, I hope that someday he stabs her in her sleep.

Cris is of course not sleeping, he is waiting for E-man to bring him an update on Aldi, Dominga finds him and asks him if he wants something to eat. He says no and asks if E has come around, Dominga tells him "nope". Emmanuel and Cris totally need cell phones-cell phones with passwords and then they could text each other all the juicy Aldi news. Cris tells Dominga that Emmanuel was going to bring him some news about a few umm horses, but Dominga is on to him and knows darn well that that's not the truth, she even asks in a round about way if maybe E-man was going to bring him news about a woman, Cris denies it. The phone rings and Honey Boo Boo, I mean Valeria is on the other end of the line, she wants to speak with Cris but he signals Dominga to tell her he is asleep, Val requests that Cris go visit her the following day.

Dominga is worried, if he is avoiding Valeria now what will happen when they get married and have to live with each other? She tells him that she has a bad feeling about the way things are going and Cris gives her a tender hug and kiss and tells her she should go back to the kitchen because he thinks her beans might be burning.

Legend has it...

That if you walk alone at night a grumpy grandfather will be jump out of the shadows and warn you against hurting his beloved granddaughter, at least that's what Melesio did to E-man, he saw him and Mari together and he tells Emmanuel that they looked way too cozy . E-man tells him that Mari is all over him like white on rice, like a frat boy on a drunk co-ed, like Bill Clinton on a chubby staffer, well you get the point. He tells Mel that he will clarify to Mari that he is not into her, and Mel tells him he better not hurt Lola, or else.

Elsewhere, Lola prays to the virgin Mary, she hopes Mari has not stolen that drooling fool also known as E-man from her.

Mi Corazon es Tuyo #177, Grand Fin Part 2: A Rancid Ransom And A Happily (For Some) Ever After



Diego meets his match when nearly being run over by a beautiful motorcycling babe reporter who is there to cover this (totally unbelievable) stadium-sized baptismal “show” for the twin daughters Ana just had as the “event of the year.”   Babe on a Bike apologizes for nearly creaming Diego a second time and, it is love at first bike as they share a painfully prolonged passionate lip-locking meet ‘n greet which is equally as unbelievable.  But hey, it’s the fin and we are just happy to get this show on the long awaited road to …anywhere!

Meanwhile, Hissabela has changed her “look” and her disguise to Ice-Cream Vendor in a peppermint striped pant-suit worthy of a 1960’s magazine spread.   No doubt she is still trying to poison all possible pipsqueaks populating the huge in-your-dreams kiddie guest list.

Hasta el Fin del Mundo #156 Priorites and Goals

Peralta tells Patrick that the evil goal is still the same, only the path to success has changed.  They hang up. 

We arrive where just where we left off.  Sophia is begging Paco to assure her that Octavio was a good man.  In order to save Sophia's feelings, Paco suggests that maybe Coria could have stolen the recipes on his own.  Paco doesn't know if Octavio was aware of the stolen recipes.  Chava butts in and says that there is no way that Araceli will prevail.  Paco says that Araceli can win because he gave her power of attorney over everything he has including his intellectual property.  Chava is shocked.  After Chava dumped Araceli, she got all bummed out and looked sadder than usual.  Paco gave her the POA as a birthday gift.  Sophia says that Ripoll is screwed if Araceli prevails.  Ripoll is broke an the lawsuit will destroy them.  Paco promises to take care of it.  He's going to revoke the Power of Attorney.

Gran Estreno de Amores con trampa- lunes el 30 de marzo 8/7C


Disclaimer: Most likely there won't be any recaps for this TN, but I really hated the thought of Caray not doing anything for the first week of a prime-time novela. Below is the sinopsis and a few character descriptions. If you would like to have at least a discussion post for the first week, please leave a comment. If the response is underwhelming, then we can forgo even a discussion.

Personal note: Ernesto Laguardia has stated in an interview that he is happy to be a part of a production that carries a message of family unity and responsible pet adoption/ownership. On the ACT site of Televisa viewers are encouraged to share pictures of their pets. I just think this is cool.


Producer: Emilio Larrosa (I admit I know nothing about him except that he produced Hasta que el dinero nos separe.)

Source material: Somos los carmona (Produced by Televisión Nacional de Chile)

Sinopsis
Translated (sometimes loosely) from the Televisa website.
The Carmona family lives a peaceful and simple life in the country in a small pueblo located in the interior of the Mexican Republic. The family owns important mineral mines in the region. They are forced to move to the city after the government buys their extensive property for a huge sum.
