Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #9 Fri 7/24/15 A Date with Fate and a Twisted Date
Parte 1~~
The
twist to the legal agreement, Maria Doloris and Isela learn, is that they lose
their jobs along with the old pervert, Jacinto.
MD gives the bad news to the rest of the women in the shop.
Meanwhile,
Esperanza learns of Julian’s gesture of offering to loan the money to Mardi for
the rental space to begin a seamstress/tailor shop and refuses it in her name.
Leo
mentions to Clara that it’s obvious that Julian has the hots for her big sis.
Josefa
fairly breathes down Isela’s neck as she makes a call to Max’s daddy, the Judge,
to whine about losing her job as part of the agreement.
MD is
working late that night on the dress for Ivana when Max drops by to give her a
bit of encouragement for the meeting the next day; she scolds him for accepting
terms she and Ise “would never have agreed to,” and he leaves with his tail
between his legs.
Lo Imperdonable #49 Fri 7/24/15 The one with the magical healing herbs
Hi. You get me again, for the third time this week, sorry mates! Anyhoo, I again kindly ask that you use a name so that we all know who we are talking to in the comments section, think about it, say you went to a dinner party and you're with a group of people you've never met, what's the first thing you would do? That's right, you'd introduce yourself. You don't have to use your real name, call yourselves whatever you'd like, I just want to know who is hanging out in the patio! And now your recap. Disclaimer: Events are NOT in order. Read more »
La Sombra del Pasado #113 (Mx 115) The Sombra begins to fade
Hola, mis amigos del Patio de la Sombra!Let’s dive right in!The episode felt staccato and that may be reflected
in the recap.
Adelina confesses her undying love for Aldonza’s father, the
late Raimundo Alcocer.Aldonza is
surprised and realizes this is the great secret Adelina spoke of some time
ago.Adelina still loves Ray because he
lives in her heart though she asks Aldonza to forgive her.It feels like such a sin to have been in love
with her own sister’s husband.Aldonza
thinks it is nothing of the sort and thinks her father would have been better
off with someone like Adelina.Aldonza
wants her to proudly display the picture but Adelina says no:it’s a torture for her.The dead should rest in peace.
Gonzalo has apparently confessed his tremendous two-day old
love for Flavia to Renato.Renato is
concerned that not only do they not have anything in common, but Flavia is not
legally divorced from her husband who is also a business partner of his (Renato’s)!Gonzalo thinks the pot is calling the kettle
black but Renato disagrees.Does
Flavia feel the same?She feels
something but she’s confused and trying to sort through her feelings about her
husband.Gonzalo throws the
Aldonza/Cris thing back in Renato’s face.Gonzalo is going to exercise his right to try to win Flavia’s heart so Renato
finally backs down as they realize they haven’t really greeted each other and
hug.
PJ counsels Jock that even if they get a divorce, in the
eyes of the Church, marriage cannot be dissolved!PJ says Jock should forgive Flavia, truly,
from the heart.
Tomas and his father discuss the trumped up assault charges Pru
brought against him.He swears it isn’t
true and they decide to consult Silvia.That way Pa can get a chance to meet this wonderful girl!
Cande has a fit over Cris’s torn shirt and learns he ripped
it in a fight with Renato over Aldonza.She has her tiring pissy fit which we, unfortunately, can see and hear
when we close our eyes.To Cande’s
screeched inquiry Cris answers, NO, he can’t get her out of his heart, much the
same way that she can’t get PJ out of hers.Cris leaves her to stew.
As is pointed out in the sidebar, feeds do not work in Chrome. As there are so many of us using Chrome, here are a couple of suggestions to get around that.
Amores con Trampa #84 Facu gets deceived by Santee, Esteban and Beto so he misses the meeting with the investors. Florencio arrives at MC. Rocio and Beto strengthen their love in front of Hilda and Francis
The Carmona kids and Alejandra and Andres playing with the
water and the hose. (was kind of cute Jacinto suggested playing without water
(just hoses) to not waste water.
Isabel finds Jacinto building a fence or cage for animals…
she asks if he will thank her for telling him what was happening (Beto and
Rocio were getting married)… Facu not so
sure it was for the best… Isa asks if he ranted on Maria (put her in her place)… Facu insists he does not want trouble or wars
with anyone… Isa keeps getting close to Facu… he suggests she go back home… Isa
tells him he can count on her for anything (and of course puts her hand on his
face just as Maria comes out of the house and catches them)… Maria acts all
proper/indifferent (you can keep him, I will give him to you for free)… Facu surprised and does not appreciate being
gifted around as if he were a box of candy…
Maria insists Isa can keep him… they keep going back and forth and Facu’s
cap blows… Maria leaves offended, Isa
pulls Facu back and asks him ‘if I do accept that ‘present’ what would happen?’ Facu is totally taken aback she is even
considering that possibility and runs in the house after Maria… Isa starts
feeding the goats… lol
Rocio is confronting Hilda for Beto… Rocio more than irritated and pushes Hilda
back and Hilda falls on a guy who drops his food… Rocio apologizes to the guy…
Beto begs Rocio not to get into fights with Hilda anymore… Hilda suggests Beto will end up with her, who
has no doubts or complications… Rocio
only came to the school to see Beto to tell him she loves him with all her
heart. She saw everything, so she has no doubts about him… no one will separate
them. She wants everyone to hear that no
one will separate them. She has a heart necklace to give him which reflects her
heart that she gives to him. Love you .
Will love you always. (sealed with a
kiss)… Hilda suddenly feels very out of place or the odd man out. Frances and her shadowgirls are there to
witness the scene… Frances starts whinning that she does not know when the
exclusive college became a neighborhood taqueria. Carmen also comes in. Rocio
leaves and Beto goes on to class.
At office, Esteban wants Santee to sign some docs. Santee
says he won’t be fooled twice, he will read the documents very carefully before
signing. Esteban asks him not to get in
trouble by doubting Facu. Santee starts namecalling Facu (charro montaperros). And
undermines the business savvy of Facu’s.
Then he starts talking about women when he looks at the Isa photo
frame. Then talks about Estefani and her
flirting… and then Mireya with her ‘confusions’… but all that is over… Now all
his efforts are aimed at the ranchero (Facu). And to recover what was his. He expects Esteban to help him. Esteban not
so sure.
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capítulo 8 Thurs 07-23-2015
Not one to be ruffled by the
appearance of the person she and her horrible spawn were just bashing, Úrsula
breezes over to dear Susy. She promises to scold the butler for not telling
them she was there and Susy notes that he didn’t offer her anything to drink
either. Ah, well, no matter they must get going. Max’s mom, Alma is waiting for
them to pick her up. Maleny and Úrsula nervously follow her out to the car.
Lo Imperdonable #48 Thu 7/23/15 The one where EXPLOSIVE stuff happens
Hello, everybody!
I had a very bad morning, probably the worst in ages, so I wasn't able to watch the show or write a recap as I had planned. I'm extremely sorry and ashamed, but these have been difficult days for me, as I received a couple of bad news and more might follow (friendly advice: never move to France - it will suck the life out of you and then, when you finally come out for air, it will suck some more).
The one VERY bright spot right now is that my baby is doing just fine, which is the only thing that truly matters, but all the rest is a mess, so I didn't have the heart to watch the show.
I am so very sorry to disappoint you all, especially after Eli's two stellar recaps (btw, Eli, great job yesterday, too, you bring it every single time - thank you so much for your hard work!).
Please, if you can, feel free to include whatever you want about last night's show in your comments and later on I might have the time to edit this post and add your stuff, too.
Now I have to go struggle with some French bureaucrats some more, as my day is only half over and who knows what will happen next. If only I had a gold mine somewhere deep in the Mexican nowhere land to go hide...
Adriana Noel
Later Edit:
Thank you so much, Vivi and Anon 09:48, for giving us the highlights of the episode. It seems like I lost quite an explosive show.
I will add them here, so that anyone who comes to the post later on, can find them faster. Read more »
The Legal Bits-Em's Case
Padre goes to see Emanuel. They talk about the robbery. Em says it was worth it to save Solitario's life. Padre waxes all kinds of dramatic. Fight the good fight! It's the biggest fight of your life and Sev is the biggest enemy. You aren't just fighting for yourself you're fighting for ALL the little people Sev has trod upon. God is on your side! You will win! At the end of the road you will find your origin and your destiny and you will find it mounted on your horse EL SOLITARIO!!
Emanuel gets sentenced to prison. They are going to transfer him to El Reclusorio Laa Vigas. I'm pretty sure the sentence said he would stay there an undetermined amount of time until the judge made a decision(?) Throughout the episode it was made clear that that was code for "he's probably not getting out any time soon." Slivia says they will get him out. Em knows he has no defense. Silvia and Pato are hoping that Em's wanting to save the horse's life will at least get him a reduced sentence.
Lo Imperdonable #47 Wed 7/22/15 Claudia suelta la sopa
Hello my patio peeps, you get me for the 2nd day in the row! I'm going to ask you guys for a favor, it seems like we are getting more people commenting on this show, but many show up as anonymous, if you can (and want to) would our new friends please sign up for an account so that I have something to call you instead of "Anonymous 20:13"?- if you don't want to sign up for an account that's ok, the box at the bottom before you comment allows you to put in a user name without having to sign up for an account. I just think it'd be awesome to get to know who we are talking to in the comments!
Now your recap:
The Old Goat and Family:
Pablo gets grilled. He tells the old goat his story: he does not come from money, he is on a scholarship that allows him to pay his expenses, he has an art show scheduled in New York which should net him enough money to buy a house in Pueblo Nuevo. The old goat freaks out at the thought of Pablo taking AP with him but Pablo promises that he won't, he has no plans to move to the city. The Old Goat questions how Pablo will manage to keep AP living in the same standard that she's used to...sorry, time for a rant:
Dear Old Goat, Your granddaughter has spent a life time being bullied by Manuel simply because she was born with a vagina, she has been treated as a second class citizen, and as a criminal who needs to be watched at all times to prevent her from what? Having a party in her pants? More recently she has been emotionally abused by your pig of a grandson and has been locked in a shed, oh and let's not forget that she's not even allowed to read because god forbid she should get any "ideas"- I'm pretty sure AP would gladly live in a hovel like Veronica's if it meant having some freedom, what good is all the money she has now when she can't even walk down the street without you and Manuel thinking she's going to start jumping the bones of every man in town? End of rant. PS:I'm still counting down to your death! Read more »
Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 7 Wed 7/22/15 A Mole To Remember
(Some scenes were merged out of context)

La Sombra del Pasado #111 (Mx 112) - Wed 7/22 - Love sh-- yeah, not so much
Renato visits Las Animas to harass Sev and Cande for not putting forth any kind of search. Sev says that if Cris doesn't want to be found, there is no way to find him, which Renato would know if he was familiar with the terrain.
Cris thinks that Aldonza's amorous attentions are proof that if they just run away forever, they can be together. She insists they can't run forever. She still thinks Val might be giving Cris the child she'll "never" be able to and it hurts. Cris gets the impression that the piece of trash who raped her is still around and he has some ass kicking to do. Aldonza denies it, but says she's engaged to Renato, so Cris backs off.
Lo Imperdonable #46 Tue 7/21/15 Babies, soulmates, and disappointment
Hiii patio peeps, here goes a quick recap! Apologies for any spelling mistakes, I'll clean this up later!
I'm skipping the old and going to the new: (Events not in order)
Matilde gets the letter in which Veronica tells her that her marriage is not what she expected, Marty has shown his true colors and while she loves him and they've had some lovely times, this is not enough for her to stick around, she will wait until Marty returns from his trip, then she will travel to Mexico and start the divorce process. Veronica asks that Matiilde keep this to herself until she gets a chance to tell uncle Jorge what's going on. Matilde laments that Vero is too good to be suffering so much.
Matilde is shaken by the letter and left in tears, she calls Marty and tells him that they need to talk, they arrange to meet the next day at a cafe near the notary Marty is using to make Vero half owner of his portion of La Morenita. The next day Marty goes to the notary and finishes the process of giving Vero ownership of the mine- the paper work will take an hour and instead of waiting Marty opts to leave in order to meet with a very unhappy Matilde.

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo #110 (Mx 111), 07/21/2015: New Scenery, Same Story
Sorry y’all, but this recap’s a little smushed and out
of order, like a cookie in a back pocket. But I think all of the important
parts are still there and also I'm still sleepy so let's jump in shall we?
The Short of It: Lola talks to
Eman. Nothing useful happens there. She and Pato fight. She and Mel don’t find
S/V, obviously. Val is once again staying at LA. Everyone in SL knows she’s
pregnant. Adelina gives Pru whatfor in public. Joaq agrees to let Ray visit
Flavia in DF. PJ tells Adelina he may have to leave SL. Cris and Al start on
the check list of Cabin Reconciliations. Also, Cris’s horse is stolen.
Yo no Creo en los Hombres #6 Tues 7/21/15 No karma anvils yet for Jacinto. Maybe karma pebbles?
All right, first things first. Hi, my name is Rain, and I am one of your Tuesday recappers! I'm in my mid 20s, live in the Midwest, and am a giant fan of anything involving pretty people, romance, and melodrama, whether it's in English or not. I am a huge fan of Asian dramas for this reason, and though this is only my 2nd telenovela, I'm rapidly becoming a fan of them as well. (Which is why the recent assortment of English subbed telenovelas Netflix put up fills me with glee.) One caveat before we get started: My cable is weird in that the Eng subs don't work when I try to watch live, but they do for the On-Demand eps. Don't ask me why. The On-Demand isn't up yet, so I am working off my back up recording, the Spanish caps, and Google Translate for things that fly over my head. I sincerely hope I don't mess anything up, and I am so sorry if I do. I'd also like to thank CountxAlacran for sending me tips on what makes a good recap. I've tried to keep them in mind for this. But enough of my yammering. Let's get started! Read more »
La Sombra del Pasado #109 (Mx 110) - Mon 7/20 - Santa Lucia Status Updates
Flunky
Javier? The new flunky is dispatched to Simoneta's place to clean it out. Why Sev didn't call those nice movers who helped him load the coffin table into the bed of his truck is beyond me. Flunky pockets some jewelry while he's there.
Flavia
She really can't stand being cooped up in the hospital, so Gonzalo offers to let her stay at his house until he thinks she's ready to be around large groups of people and/or travel again. Flavia would like Ray to come visit her at Gonzalo's, but that's going to depend on her test results.
Much of this episode centers on Polo and his dog Onix huddled in the tunnel of the abandoned mine. The little boy tries to keep his growing fears at bay and remain hopeful although this becomes increasingly difficult as the hours pass and no one shows up to rescue him. We cringe at a sudden shower of dust and gravel – is this tunnel going to collapse? (Polo is more worried about the ghosts of dead miners.)
He stands up suddenly and hits his head. Yow! And his foot is hurt. Are he and Onix ever going to get out of there alive? Who will save them? Well at least they have a little fruit and water in the market bag he was carrying when he ran away from Manuel. But he is really scared. So very scared.
11PM EST: It's a hot night
in the Naked City. The heat feels like volcanic spume. The air is a
thick hot fog with no relief in sight. The computer isn't liking it.
Neither am I.
I'm still slaving over this when the
steam leaves the keyboard, but this time you might get just the facts
when I'm done. Until that's ready, you may want to examine the
evidence in this case before I get there. See you when the smoke
clears.
– Dashiell Hammett
11AMEST:
The heat is still on, but here's what I have so far. Hang on for
the rest because these people are getting my dander up.
Chapter
5: No Truth Yet
Daniel
was at the Duval house, trying to find out whom Ivana had eaten with
that day. Honestly, she could do better than this creepy little worm
who chewed gum like a cheap bookie. She started to describe the
subject of her lunch with Max, but her aunt arrived just in time to
stop that. Daniel changed the subject to a dinner invitation to
dinner that night. Ivana told him tomorrow, knowing he didn't want
to be put off. “Do you think you're the only man I've ever dated?”
she asked. She started looking like she'd rather have root canal.
“I just refuse to be hurt.”
"Gio asks him what kind of woman he wants for his father. Yeah, I agree, let's get her delivered online.” -- Weirdo
“I don't care if you're a completely unqualified 'undercover' spy, when you're alone in a hotel with a man and you hear him freak out because he finds out an innocent young girl ISN'T dead, you leave the room!!!" -- Darcy Buchanan
“Okay, no. Just NO. If you two get jiggy on the cucaracha table, you CANNOT sit with me on the patio. JUST TAKE YOUR DRINKS AND GO. " -- Blue Lass
