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!’.

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.

La Sombra del Pasado #29 3-27-15 Three Caballeros and a Padre


Let’s get right to it!  Adelina is at Humberto’s office to complete the paperwork and get the keys for the Alcocer house.  Adelina has asked Humberto a direct question:  “Was that baby (girl) born dead?  Yes or no?”  Humberto answers with a question, “Why are you asking?  You were there.”  Adelina gets tough for a minute, refreshing his memory that he and Sev took the baby from the room, and then she pleads.  Humberto looks at her evenly and swears by his daughter that “. . . this baby (girl) does not exist.”  Adelina leaves, defeated and a lie lives all over Humberto’s face.

Operation happy family begins at the Mendoza breakfast table.  Sev and Cande are able to fit in a mini inquisition re Cris's whereabouts the preceding night (when he was playing a moonlight Romeo outside of Aldonza’s window); a vote of support for his version of the Lardo beat down story and an assurance that he is free to leave Las Animas as soon as he weds, all before the cornflakes lose their crunch.  Cris wonders why the sudden change of heart but he appreciates it and reassures Sev he will continue to work in the hacienda until he marries.  Cris should’ve hung around one more minute and heard the ominous music and Sev’s vow to make sure he stays.

Adelina gives Aldonza the lease and keys and quick as a flash she’s off to find someone to help her get the house in order, waving aside Adelina and Padre J’s attempts to find out where she’s going.  Padre is very interested in the question Adelina put to Humberto.  She tells him that he “swore by his daughter that the baby (girl) was born dead.”  Padre doesn’t believe that for a minute:  It doesn’t make sense to him that Sev would be intent on carrying away a dead baby and he certainly doesn’t believe it was because he wanted to give it a proper Christian burial.  Padre wants to look more into the background of this whole event and to do that he says he needs Adelina’s authorization.  Ah, Padre J. sure knows how to keep Adelina in the game, doesn’t he?

Mi Corazon es tuyo, #176, Thursday GRAN FINAL – Part 1: Par de clonas



Hello, everybody! This is my last recap for Mi Corazon es tuyo and it so happens to be the second to last episode, so I hope I do it justice.
Since I watched on line like I usually do, I’m not entirely sure where the episode ended on your TV’s since mine had about 130 minutes. I checked on Univision and the original Mexican recap and I tried to stop my writing accordingly, but I’m not sure if I succeeded. So, if you read about something that you haven’t seen, yet, or I missed part of the episode’s ending, I’m sorry.

Recapping this show has been fun, especially at first when the stories where fresh and more exciting. Of course we had to go through the same extensions that Televisa usually employs to prolong the successful shows, but all in all, I think this was a good story, with some decent acting and a few genuinely funny moments.
Thank you all for your appreciation and praise of my recaps. Especially since I haven't been my best self lately, because, SPOILET ALERT, Ana and Silvia Navarro are not the only ones who got pregnant during the shooting of this show – I did, too. So I might take a break from watching silly dramas for a while…
Yeah, right! Who am I kidding? When is the Ivan Sanchez one starting?

Without further ado ….

Ana and Fernando are kissing in their bedroom, when the kids show up, screaming and jumping on the bed. Apparently they still don’t know if they are having a brother or a sister, Ana and Fer are keeping it a secret. They are almost careful not to suffocate Ana, but they do start to draw on her huge belly, with Fernando looking on, lovingly.
At night Fernando is woken up by Ana’s scream. He thinks that she’s going into labor, but what she's having are cravings: for lemons, lemonade, strawberries or chocolate. She’s not very sure, but Fer is trying to be patient (it’s obvious she’s been doing this all through the pregnancy – poor guy). Then Ana decides that she doesn’t want to eat, after all, she just wants him to stand by her side. She gets nervous, afraid that he won’t be with her when she has to give birth. He promises that he will never leave her side, which automatically means that he will most definitely have to.

La Sombra del Pasado #28 3/26/15

Be prepared for questionable quality and possible absence of details. I'm basically fast forwarding and writing down what I remember them saying...which might not be a lot. Oh, and I combined a lot of scenes. Always feel free to fill in.

Right to the new
Severiano(Sev) does an admirable job not letting on that he knows Simoneta Saavedra. According to her, she's here for business. Sev invites her to his study. When there, she tells him that she missed him soooo much! She swears she didn't let Candela(Cande) know anything! She's staying at a local hotel. She'll go back there and wait for him. (Seriously, what is it about Sev that has women clinging to him and going crazy?) As Simoneta leaves, Dominga sees her and you can tell there is recognition.

Pru and Humberto(Hum) argue about Aldonza. He's flattered that she would think a girl like Aldonza would go for him. Pru informs him that she put Aldonza in her place anyway and the news about The Stoning comes out. Pru also accuses him of keeping El Satunario at Aldonza's request and says that also explains why he was so willing to get a divorce. Hum gets angry and decides he's not going to share his bedroom with Pru anymore. He goes to stay with Emmanuel.

Que te Perdone Dios Capitulo 47 -Nobody can handle the truth! -Full Recap

 Here is the recap on the courtesy of TN4Ever:



 Refrito: Mac is spying on Renata and Comandante Barragan’s conversation in the parlor. When he mentions Pablo, she’s like, “I thought I told you to leave that alone?” He wants to know if she’s Abi’s mom. At the hospital, we re-learn that Diana is pregnant.

New: Dr. Pat tells Di that he has advised Mat to wait to get divorced, but Diana says no, bring it on. His punishment for divorcing me will be to lose his child. Dr. Pat has to swear not to say anything. If there are Mexican HIPAA laws, then it’d be illegal to. But neither priests nor police officers are very discreet, so we’ll see about the good doctor. After he leaves, Diana stops crying and gets her game face back on.

Abi is loitering outside the Hacienda and Diego shows up. There’s a creepy scene of uncle telling niece how much he loves her, to give him a chance, he loves enough for both of them. In other words Diego’s usual spiel.
