La sombra del pasado #88 6/18/15 This Is Where the Cowboy Rides Away
Title inspired by George Straight. Don't judge.
Wow what a full episode. I had every intention of being all summary and snark….but there didn’t seem to be too many snark-o-tunities. Heavy stuff.
Lets get right to it, shall we? (Some scenes are combined or omitted.)
Flavia gives Adelina and Joaquin the slow clap. But it’s not a good thing. She’s pissed. Joaquin realizes they need to talk and asks Ray to go with Adelina for a little walk. Ray wants to stay with his mother and Flavia is not inclined to let the boy go off with Adelina, either. Joaquin asks if she really wants to do this in front of the child. Flavia sends Ray off with Adelina (thank goodness.) Adelina and Ray will go to the park and get some ice cream.
Aldonza goes to see Renato. Before their pending conversation, she has a huge favor. Em is in jail for public drunkenness and threatening the arresting officers. She wants Renato’s help in getting Em out. Renato just gives her a cold, silent stare. Aldonza says if he's mad then Pato and Silvia can do it. Renato says they aren’t around. Aldonza surmises that Ren and Silvia got into a fight. He confirms it and says Silvia took her things and left. Aldonza encourages him to talk to Silvia and set things right. Renato eventually agrees to help Em. Aldonza makes it clear again that they can only be friends. She doesn’t want to lose his friendship. Did anyone get a petulant child vibe from Renato?

Lo Imperdonable #23 Wed 6/17/15 “Forgive the Psycho Killer, Condemn Your Loving Wife – Now That’s Unforgiveable!!!”
(I skipped the one repeated scene; also, several scenes are
combined.)
The Prado Castelo
Mansion (outskirts of Mexico City). Salma returns with Malena’s shawl and, as
expected, Botel doesn’t get a chance to show Malena the picture of young Vero. Jorge comes and informs them that the
chauffeur is ready to take them back to their hotel. After they leave, Jorge tells Salma that he
likes Botel’s directness, which is good for business. He also really liked Malena, and there were
moments when she reminded him of someone, but he can’t quite figure out who. (Veronica perhaps?!)
The San Telmo Mansion Hovel (Mina Escondida). As Martin continues to delight the ladies of
the Patio with his bare torso, he and Vero are having a surprisingly calm
moment chatting in bed, with him telling her that aunt Salma should have helped
her overcome her mother’s absence. Vero
rationalizes Salma’s behavior, saying it couldn’t happen because Salma had a
preference for Vsnake, plus she sent her to a boarding school overseas so she
could study to become a proper society girl.
Martin wonders if she was ever sad there. Vero laughs in a sad way and says she sometimes cried
while she showered, and if any friends noticed her red eyes she would just say
she got shampoo in her eyes. They both
smile and for a moment we almost forget that all he wants to do is destroy her.

La Sombra del Pasado #87 - Wed 6/17 - A Haunting in Santa Lucia
So Cande said that she heard that Aldonza was, like, totally kissing her lawyer. But Cris doesn't believe her. Cande dares him to ask Aldonza…or Silvia, even. Cris won't be badgered into doing it. No offense to badgers. Cris points out to Cande that she and Severiano have earned his distrust. He's especially not going to give her the satisfaction of calling in front of her. Cande leaves, threatening to send Valeria in. Pobre de Cris…and he can't even get up and lock the door.
The engineer talks about how he would divert the water from near the waterfall. "¡Me lleva!" Sev thought bubbles (short for "me lleva el diablo"…British dudes would say "Devil take it!"…I'd say, "Aw, FFS!") Sev nixes that idea, on account of it being Simoneta's watery grave. He pays the guy his advance and it's adios ingeniero!

Lo Imperdonable #22 Tue 6/16/15 Stop with the crying!
*Ahem* Let's get this party started!
Okay, we start tonight's episode with Manuel asking Grandpa Cres to get him out of jail, he's learned his lesson! He follows this up by telling gramps that it was all that woman's fault for throwing herself at him. The f*ck? Clearly this worm has not learned his lesson. Gramps tells him that there's nothing he can do. Manuel does not give up, first he says he can't stay in jail because who will look after the mine? When Cres tells him he'll figure it out Manuel tries to get Cres to help him break out of jail because he (Manuel) is the last Alvarez left, without him the whole family line dies (good!).
Cres tells him he can't help, if he does he too will end up in jail and that's not gonna happen. He tells Manuel he is disappointed in him and to take his punishment like a man. Once Cres is out of earshot Manuel says that he will never forgive the old man for not helping him. Manuel's day gets worse when he asks a police officer for a beer, the officer tells him that's a no-go and Manuel is all like "just wait till I get out of here!".

La Sombra del Pasado, Capítulo 86, 06/16/2015: Everyone’s just getting brought up to speed
Recap courtesy of HellaShelle
Main points:Lola and Irma tells Aldonza and Adelina Mari’s version of the story with Eman. They don’t believe it. Eman gets sloshed. The cops go to Joaquin looking for Flavia in connection with Adriano for Lardo’s murder. Sev tells Cris about Cande and PJ, but Cris doesn’t really care. Mari has regrets about what she did, but Val reinforces her evil ways. Silvia’s left SL! Cande tells Cris that Aldie and Renato kissed.
Fuller summary: Sev’s intense grossness is repeated, but apparently it’s just a power play for Aldonza’s benefit because after she walks away and he wipes his face disgustedly.

Bro, you're a hot mess La Sombra Del Pasado #85 06/15/2015
Confession Time: While I still dig Renato I have now developed a crush on Padre Jeronimo, don't judge me!
Now your recap:
We get to see a replay of Sev getting rid of Simoneta's body, and we see his arrival at Las Animas where Dominga and Mel are waiting for him to let him know that his wife has been trying to reach him. They both note that something about Sev looks off, he's sweating even though it's cold out and he just looks out of it. Yep, committing murder will do that to you. Mel tells Dom that whatever is going on is none of their concern.
At the hospital Candela is throwing a fit because she can't get a hold of her husband, she tells Cris that he's probably off with his whore-which is technically true. He tells her that he's probably just busy with work stuff but she says that nothing is more important than being at the hospital with him.

Lo Imperdonable #21 Mon 6/15/15 I liked you better when you were delirious, Crazy Marty.
Nanciyaga knows her stuff.
Even before the padre shows up with the penicillin, the herbal remedies have taken effect and Crazy Marty's fever has broken. He still has a large green leaf draped rakishly over his brow and he is hurting from the big owie in his belly, but he is recovering his paranoia.
In his conversation with the padre, he denies that his defense of Verónica is proof that he loves her – he would have done the same for anyone. And yes, maybe she DOES love him, but she's still going to get what's coming to her.
Vero won't leave Marty's side. In the night, he actually takes pity on her and invites her into his bed so she can get some sleep. As they snuggle, he thought-bubbles his wish that things could always be like this and he didn't have to live poised between love and hate.
Don't be distracted by my black vulture feather bow and the insane intensity of my gaze

Amores con trampa #56 and #57 6/15/15 and 6/16/15
Right to the new! I tried to do this without any captions (Spanish), so y'all will need to help me out and fill in what I missed.)
Fac pulls the animal control guys over to talk, explaining that the family belongs to the order of Franciscans. The animal guys don’t know what that is. (Really?) Perpetua adds “of Assisi” and then frets about what is going to happen.
Maria gives a tour of the house and points out that the ducks share the pool with the family. Maria insists the animals are happy with the family. Perpetua worries about how long they’ve been looking at the animals.
An animal control guy asks about Margarito. Susana is almost impossible for me to understand. All I catch is that the pig is named Margarito. So I cheat and go back to the captions. They wanted to “examine” the pig and Susana says he does pretty well in school. Maybe a little behind in geography, but pretty good at the other subjects.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: EL SEÑOR DE LOS CIELOS 3, TIERRA DE REYES, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of June 15, 2015
La Vecina-Index
Afternoon Novela-La Vecina: Is there any interest in a weekly post?
Next Monday (June 22) at 3PM/2C Univision will begin airing La Vecina, the latest telenovela from Lucero Suárez (De que te quiero te quiero, Amorcito Corazón and Querida Enemiga.)
It is a remake of the 2003 Colombian telenovela "La costeña y el cachaco." 170 episodes are planned.
It's being billed as a fusion of comedy and melodrama. It stars Juan Diego Covarrubias as Antonio Andrade and Esmeralda Pimentel as Sara Granados. The cast also includes Javier Jattin, Natalia Guerrero, Carlos Bracho, Arutro Carmona, Alejandro Ibarra , Luis Gatica and Alfredo Gatica (Last seen as "Abdul" in DQTQTQ.)
There's a host recognizable faces from other Lucero Suarez productions- Maria Alicia Delgado, Eduardo Shacklett and Bibelot Mansur to name a few. Most importantly, Jose Luis Badalt aka "Hotscar" will have a small role.
Would anyone be interested in a weekly, low-pressure, discussion and highlights only (no recaps) post? If so, please leave a quick comment. I can add a more detailed synopsis and character/cast list to this post later in the week if it looks like a go.
Sinopsis
After losing her hotel job and breaking up with her boyfriend, Sara decides to take a few days and head for the coastal town of San Gaspar.
At the same time Antonio is being sent by his company CONATROL to San Gaspar to investigate the excessive robbery of gasoline from the area.
Destiny will unite Sara and Antonio, first as neighbors and later when she arrives to work at CONATROL. They connect during a weekend on an unexpected trip. There's a great attraction between the two, despite their very different personalities.
Below is a video of the "entrada oficial" for anyone who, like me, judges a TN by its theme song.

Lo Imperdonable #20 Fri 6/12/15 When The Town Doctor Leaves Town, The Town Priest Will Take Over
* Some scenes have been combined to help the recap flow better.
Marital Problems
Our lovebirds are having yet another spat, this time because Martin thinks Veronica wants to send a note home complaining about the terrible time she's having in Mina Escondida. He tells her to go ahead and leave if she wishes but if she does then she can't come back. Veronica isn't up for yet another argument with him nor does have time for one. She wants to send a note to thank her family for having sent over a suitcase with Pablo and to let them know she's doing fine. She assures him that HIS attitude makes her want to rush out of there but she won't leave because she loves him and vowed to be with him through the good and bad times. She won't leave until she finds out what the hell is his problem. She storms out of the hovel.
Now alone, Martin is tired of this situation and gives a big sigh, and tells himself that he should have never brought Veronica to Mina Escondida because he'll never able able to make her happy.
Motherly Instinct
The gold has been packed in these HUGE boxes and Botel is asking Uspin for discretion. But I'm not sure how that's possible since the HUGE boxes are sure to catch the attention of just about anyone. Whatever.
Anyway, Magdalena is awaiting to see if Veronica will show up with a note for her family. Botel doesn't think she should be trusting Veronica so much. At least not until she's sure Veronica is a good person. Magdalena doesn't give a crap what Martin thinks. For her - Veronica is a good person. Botel assumes Magdalena feels this way because Magdalena sees in Veronica a possible image of her own daughter. He advises her NOT follow her motherly instinct. ShutUpBotel.

Weekend Discussion: Love -- Reality or Poetic Delusion?
I actually know a few people who don't think love exists at all. Some of them had highly toxic parents and a couple of them have had disappointing love lives (one I suspect never had one). A few other people I know are so confounded by differences between men and women they refuse to believe it is possible to understand the other at all. It's possible that they are too lazy to try.

I am putting up the highlights of yesterday's episode :
Read more »
- Max learns from Uncle Scarecrow that Porf & Fausto have each other for a long time and that his uncle was the only financier of his treatment but even so he'd rather be dead than to go with him cause Lucio's capture is now inevitable.
- Faust as twisted as always is cruelly telling Elena about the state of the children only to spew crocodile tears on demand as inside of his mind he laments " They're my kids" . (Pardon me but Faust Lopez Guerra is one of the most sick & twisted villians ever, I gotta go throw up in the toilet! I usually love the villians but Fausto makes my stomach wild) Meanwhile Mat & Abi are praying in which Mat begs God to not take away his second child away and if someone has to receive Karma may he be the only recipient . Meanwhile Abi lurks from behind sadly.

La Sombra del Pasado #84 6-12-15 In The Shadow of Death. . .
Greetings, Sombra Patio Peeps! We begin where we left off with the sadly not shocking assault of Severiano upon the pregnant and frail Simoneta Viviana! Sev sent her flying over the sofa and we all saw the dreaded trickle of blood from the ear which signals certain death. We don’t get a replay of that psychotic split between laughter and horror but instead Sev kneels next to S/V and feels a pulse which is presented to us audibly. He begins to squeeze, his face contorting and blooming crimson, his eyes bugging out and veins popping just as he did when he murdered Padre Sixto right in the church. Slowly the pulse fades as Sev looks skyward as if giving thanks, relief replacing the labor of snuffing out a life. Simonetta Viviana is dead!
Before I finish this sad and evil tale, I want to catch up
with the buff and hopeful Emanuel who has gone to San Miguel hoping to enter
the equestrian competitions with Solitario, his first love. He is further hopeful because he has just
declared his love to Lola and she reciprocated with words and deep, passionate
kisses. Ah! Life is good!. . . .Or so he thought. The same night Eman arrives in San Miguel he
is mugged by a couple of thugs, the details of which we were spared but we did
see them pull a knife on him and hold it to his throat! Yikes!
When next we see him, it’s the next morning and he’s walking along the
road trying to hitchhike back to Santa Lucia.
Now. I don’t know if
he had the cash to enter the competition on him, I’m assuming he did and the
thugs made off with it and his phone. Please feel free to weigh in, my friends. We at the Cougar Table and the whole patio
are just glad he’s not hurt! So, let’s
see what his second love, Lola, is up to!

Amores con Trampa #55 ... Isabela keeps falling deeper and deeper into passional insanity...
Refritos:
The animal protection folks arrive and announce they are
there because there was an accusation/complaint of animal abuse. They tell
Maria, grandma, et al that you can’t have animals like these in this area, and
that the complaint/accusation came from Isabela Bocceli de Velasco.
Said Isabela is with Frederick in her house… he wants her to
come along to some sale event. She can’t leave the house. He will go alone to the bank to solicit a
limit-less credit card (yeah right, like they will hand it to you).
Back in the ruckus outside, Facu won’t let the men take the
animals. He tells the guys that their
animals are well loved and taken care of.
Porfirio comes and seconds Facu’s statement.
The guys insist they have to take the animals away… grandma,
gusana and Jacinto get in the ‘leave ‘ em here!’ team. Andres is just a few yards
away watching the action…
Maria sneaks away… she is steaming angry and heading in a
direct line toward Isabel who is now with Conchita saying some yoga/spiritual
hymn… with headphones on… they don’t see or hear Maria until Maria is right on
top of Isabel ripping her headphones away.
Conchita gets stuttering scared while Isa screams bloody murder and
Maria starts following her around the huge fountain area. Isabel and Maria end up in the water… Maria
seems to be in her zone while Isabela keeps screaming/whealing and yelling for
help. COnchita comes to try to help her but only gets wet too. Now the threesome are dancing some strange
ring around the rosie game around one of the fountains.
Suddenly Maria all dripping wet comes in her house, still
angry. She won’t tell and it is not
until Grandma and Porfirio try to get her to speak… that she responds. She has a really weird scary voice as if she
were now a zombie… threats Facu not to leave the house… she heads right back
out. Facu is scared and runs after her.
Grandma does not let Porfirio do anything… Gusana approaches him and
says she understands him, not so the oxygenated blonde across the street.
Beto comes to Isabel’s store to visit Rocio. Rocio is glad
to see him and opens up to him, sayings he is tired of the life she is running
and the family she is living with. She
does not want to talk about the reality, rather close her eyes and enjoy this
very moment. They are about to kiss when a customer lady comes in asking about
the wraps that Maria had made and they sold at the store. The lady insists
asking Rocio to look in the back closets… Rocio assures her they don’t have any
more in the store. The lady leaves. Beto
asks if she was asking about the wraps his mom was making. Rocio says yes,
ladies come asking for them daily. IF your mom kept making them she would
become a millionaire.

Lo Imperdonable #19 Thu 6/11/15 Who Needs Couples Therapy When You Can Settle Your Differences By Fencing
This will be a short and quick summary:
* Martin in confessional tells Padre Juan that he married the woman who caused his brother's death to get revenge on her. Padre Juan asks him - how can he be so sure? Martin explains that he's sure because she's the owner of the pendant. Her initials are V. Prado Castelo - Veronica Prado Castelo. Martin admits that Veronica is driving him crazy because she appears nice and good while in reality she's a damn viper. Martin also admits that he is in love with Veronica. "If you love her and she loves you shouldn't that be enough for you to forgive her?" Padre Juan asks. It's not enough for Martin who still wants revenge and doesn't care what it costs. Martin admits that he made this confession in confessional to seal Padre's lips. Padre Juan reprimands him for having stooped so low as to have sealed his lips this way. Martin knows he has no pardon and doesn't even know if he'll be able to forgive himself when he gets his revenge. He runs out of church with Padre Juan calling after him. Later, Padre Juan prays so God can guide him and give him words to tell Martin so he won't go along with his revenge.
* Virginia informs Salma that thanks to Claudia she was able to find out (via a fax sent by Martin) that Martin and Veronica arrived fine to Mina Escondida. Salma doesn't quite like that Claudia and Virgina have become friends because Claudia is a tad vulgar and extravagant. Virginia agrees that Claudia dresses a tad provocatively but she doesn't like to judge and believes that what matters is what is on the inside (yeah right, Virginia). When Virginia notices that Emiliano has entered the mansion she badmouths Veronica subtlety over Veronica not having been the one who sent the fax home to let the family know how she was doing.
* Cresnecio orders Manuel to apologize to Julio for having hit him. But Manuel refuses because 1. he's not sorry what he did and 2. if he apologizes then he'd lose authority with Julio and the other miners. Cresencio will give Manuel a pass on this but tells him it better not happen again or else Cresencio will give Julio permission to hit Manuel back.
