La Sombra del Pasado #39 Friday 4-10-15 BREAKING NOW: DRIVE BY IN SANTA LUCIA! Story at 11.



<<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.

La sombra del pasado #38 4/9/10 Today I Am A Man or Cris Finds His Spine

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.)
