Why, if you weren't a woman I'd. . . .! La Sombra del Pasado #128 (Mex 131) Friday, 8-14-15
Good evening, good morning, good afternoon wherever you are my beloved Sombra Patio Peeps! Let’s jump right in!
We get another view of that beautiful, candle-lit farewell
to Padre Jeronimo. We are up close and
personal with all the misty eyes bathed in the soft glow of tens of votives ,
warm embraces and a view from above as the crowd gently parts as Padre walks
amidst them and takes his leave.
Right away we see what the evil lackey, Javier is up to: he’s going to damage a gate holding back the
waters of the huerta’s reservoir, flooding it and wasting this precious
resource! Uuuuuf!
Humberto has returned home after his conversation with Cris
and confronts Valeria about her monumental lie that Cris is the father of her
fetus. Hum shouts his outrage and shame
at her actions and, of course, Val tries to play the offended one! She’s so tired of his complaints! He never has anything positive to say to
her! How in the hell can he when she is
always talking nonsense! He can’t
understand how she could lay with that good for nothing Abelardo! Well, Pru protests Val needed some comfort
after Cris dumped her and Val tells her to shut up because she (Pru) is to
blame for all this. It goes on from
there but Hum manages to yell at Val that for once in her life she needs to
take responsibility for her own acts though Pru IS guilty of covering for her
all her life and he’s sure Pru knew about this!
Val yells back if he wants to help her he should tell her how to get rid
of this g.d. kid. Oh no, she’s going to
have the baby and HE’s going to see to it!
Pru looks on with eyes as huge as those figures in the sad sack/endearing paintings from the 60s.

Amores con Trampa #99 Porfirio's ghosts are closin in on him... and Carmen needs to get off the see saw.
Refritos: Facu offers to Santee to sell him the stock now…
or you are screwed up for good.
Mysterious woman talks on phone with Frankee… asks him how
is the investigation going. He is about to leave San Bartolo el Chico but the
Samarripa cousins are making it a bit rough. She remembers them. And gives him
advice to watch his wallet. She insists
he needs to find Porfirio Carmona.
Meanwhile Porfirio tells Conchita that he has only truly
loved one woman… his wife… he has kept
on living with the hope to someday reunite with her… his wife was everything to
him. The only woman he has truly truly truly truly loved. (seems even the rooster is tired of hearing
him say the same line).
Lo Nuevo:
Santee and Isa atrive home to see Felipe on a
really-fun-looking electric one-wheeler. They all talk that Santee just sold
his stock in the company to Facu… Isa is ok considering they can live on the money
he just got until the new company he is starting is operational. He whiles a
bit about bureocracy and government being real slow in Mex for these things… (I
have a feeling he has some other thing that is worrying him).
At Carmonas, Porfirio is dusting his last supper painting.
Perpetua comes by and notices he is not hugry even for her boiled eggs. He is acting strange and she knows it Maria
comes by and Perpetua tells her about her concern about Porfirio. He is acting
strange. Maria undermines what Perpetua
is saying. Perp wants to call the doctor.
Isa talks to Santee, she is talking a bit of nonsense, even
tells him he should go find a job (yeah right, it will rain upwards before
that, Isa) He talks about all the expenses and all the things she wants that
cost money, even a lipo.
At the gym, Estefi comes in. the trainer with beard talks to
her, is a bit cold with her. Not a good day to get on her back. She whines about Perpetua constantly
scrutinizing her. Estefi assures the guy
that Perpetua might be smart but not as smart as her. In comes the other woman and Estefi is
running away from her and putting the guy in the middle. (not sure who this
woman is but seems estefi owes her money or has tricked her into something,
sorry have not watched much this week).
At office, Felipe wants to talk to Facu about something,
Facu has to poke him a bit before he opens his mouth. Felipe finally does. Wants permission to miss work, the end of year
dance is coming up at the college. Facu
wants to hear more. It seems there is
some kind of king/queen of the dance contest where the winners can win
grants/scholarships to go to college
overseas.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres, Capitulo 23, Thu 08-13-2015: Dance of the Rat Fink
Quick refrito: MD
almost swoons into Julian’s arms after he tells her her marriage license
isn’t real.
Lo Nuevo: Ari catches up Maleny as
she drives her sporty convertible out of the hotel. He’s freaking out a little
because her mom caught them together. She’s annoyed because he’s more worried
about losing his job than about their relationship ending, but tells him not to
freak--her mom has no idea who he is or even that he works; she thinks he lives
off of Mal. Alma calls her and tells her to hurry over.

Lo Imperdonable #63 (Tel #64) Thu 8/13/15 Let's get this party started!
Refrito
Aaron tells Malena that their daughter has
been adopted by a very rich family, after he decided to fake his death.
The new stuff
Pueblo Nuevo – If the engagement is so
pretentious, what is there left for the wedding?
Pablo’s mom has very nice words to say
about her son – ever since his father died, he proved to be hardworking and
well behaved, making her extremely proud. If Crescencio accepts him into his
family, he will have nothing to be sorry about.
Abuelo is happy with what he hears, all his
remaining doubts are now gone. He asks for the party ceremony to continue. Pablo
starts his speech: he asks the head of the family to give his consent and then
both he and Ana Perla kneel, while Crescencio gives his godly blessing.
Sorry, this looks so ridiculous.
As Pablo slips a ring on AP’s finger, Julio
looks on in anger and then leaves.
In the city
Aaron hugs Malena, promising her that their
daughter had a very good life. He kisses her (both Malena and the Patio can
barely stand it). Malena wants some more information, but Aaron has shared
enough for now. He wants some money to pay his debts. After she obliges, he’s
out the door, leaving Malena to shake with disgust and with the realization that Aaron hasn’t changed one bit.

La Sombra del Pasado #127 (Mex 130) 8/13
Too short, out of order, mostly from memory, probably not coherent and needing lots of fill in.
The Fetus (Thanks, Eli!)
Cristobal is now well aware that the fetus is not his. He leaves the gynecologists office in search of Val but Juanita tells him that Val is in San Miguel.
Val is given literature to read about the procedure and paperwork to fill out. She cannot interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks and will need to have an ultrasound. Val assures the doctor that she is not that far along and will bring the ultrasound report from her own doctor. The clinic doctor explains that the clinic will have to perform their own ultrasound. It's required by law. To interrupt a pregnancy after 12 weeks could be very dangerous for the mother and is a crime.
Chris is waiting at Val's door when she comes home. He confronts her about lying to him. Of course he has no memory of "that night" because NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE BABY IS NOT HIS! Val says she doesn't know what Cris's father told him...ooops! Cris is cara de why am I the last to know?? What? Cris is incredulous. "My father knew???" Cris tells Val it's her OB/GYN who spilled those beans. Cris is greatly relieved that he will never have to see Val ever again.

Lo Imperdonable #62 (Tel #63) Wed 8/12/15 "Party On While You Can, Folks, Because Your Happiness Is About to End!!!"
Quick Note: Hi everyone, I'm back and happy to report that we made the move across country without a hitch. First, allow me to give a quick shout out and thank you to the rest of our recap team for pinch hitting for me these past few weeks. They all did a great job, as usual. Also, I managed to catch up yesterday on my reading of all recaps and comments and in the process I realized (since I watch the Mexico broadcast) that at some point Univision combined two episodes, so that Univision's episode #62 last night was actually episode #63 of the original Televisa broadcast in Mexico. I noted this in my title for any of you that read our recaps but watch online copies of Televisa's broadcast.
On with the recap. Some scenes are combined.
Lo Viejo: V-Snake feels awful, but it's no surprise. Daniel warned her of the effect of the medicine he gave her to cause her a medical crisis and gain even more sympathy from her family. She whispers to him a plan for squeezing all the juice out of this manufactured "crisis". Vero tells Martin she has to go to Mexico City and can't wait any longer because she is worried about Malena. Malena runs to the shower to wash away the filth left on her body by her rapist husband Aaron.
Lo Nuevo:
Martin promises Vero that he will speak with her doctor about going to Mexico City, but if the doctor says it's too dangerous for her, then he can't do anything about it. She tells Martin she needs to go to their room to rest. After she leaves, Martin tells Alfredo how happy he now is with Vero, but confesses he still has to learn to control his jealousy. He worries that Emi still loves Vero even if he plans to marry Virginia. Alfredo reminds him Vero loves him, but he needs to control his jealousy or he will lose her forever. The doctor shows up. Martin tells him about Vero's wish to go to Mexico City and the doctor agrees to examine Vero.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 22 Wed 8/12/15 - Where 's the acid when you need it?
Josefa the Antique Bullying Bitch with a case is spreading the rumors to the neighbors about the civil wedding being fake . She challenges Julian who is flabbergasted by all of this to tell the truth but Julian who is also assisted by Doris lie that this is just a big fat lie. Espy berates Josefa for constantly telling lies about MD but time will show The Heifer her place soon enough ( Does that mean she's getting the white jacket? ). Josefa promises them all that her claims will be proven soon enough. Isela now alone with Josefa berates her for lying but Josefa assures that the rumors are true cause she knows exactly what she has heard from Hon.
Espy asks Max how much they owe him but Max assures her that the most important thing is to support MD who is by the way looks half-dead from despair. Max and Leo leave. Clara & Espy later console MD who doesn't say a word.
Doris is leaving but Julian asks Ari to take away Jenny ( The Anonymous Alcoholics Girl) away. Jenny says that she will stay to prepare some food for Espy. Ari tries to take Doris with him but she refuses cause staying with him is getting dangerous. She would much rather walk to her house alone than leave with the douche Ari. ( Way to go girl!!) . Ari points out that she could tell the truth but she didn't cause she loves him but Doris tells him she kept quiet to not bother MD more. She leaves proudly and it turns out that Orly and Julian were listening to the whole conversation. Julian threatens to not tell MD anything otherwise Ari will repent it for all of his life. Jenny by bad luck restrains Julian. Orly gets mad too but Ari reminds him that he knows how the things are much to Isela's shock.
Max comes home and Alma tells him that Maly has been calling nonstop but Max promises to call her in order to not molest us further. He also informs Alma and Claudio of Dan's latest antics and Ivana's pregnancy. Claudio says that it was not a betrayal cause he was not with Ivana when he was marrying MD and despite his marriage he could have taken care of Ivana's child. Leo tells Claudio that Dan lied to MD about his job and virginity. Max points out that not caring for things is Dan's motto of Life, he cannot even take care of himself. Claudio repeats again that they have meddled enough in the situation but Leo says that he will meddle in it if that is required cause if you love a gal you gotta respect her!
Arango is taking the incredibly disobedient Maly to home. She wants to go have some teenage fun but Arango shall give her a cent no more . Maly slips that no one cares for her, not even her BF and Lover. Arango calls Ursula who reprimands Maly for her stupidities. At the same time Max calls : He is coming to the house. Arango panics because in her state Maly could spit out of her infidelity. Later Maly arrives back in the house by force. Isidro informs them all that Max has arrived. Ursula goes to take care of the situation. She assures him that she and Maly had nothing to do with it. Ursula feigns care for MD's situation and confides that she was only looking out for the health of her grandson.

The fetus is not mine! La Sombra Del Pasado 08/12/15 #126 (Mx 129)
Oh.my.sweet.baby.jesus.
Read more »
Tonight's show picks up where we left off last night: Candela is ready for war, she wants payback for the abuse she suffered at the hand (that never gets old) of Severiano so she walks into his bedroom as he slumbers and points a gun at his head. Severiano wakes up and asks what she's doing, her reply? "Getting payback for what you did to me last night"- he begs her to put the gun down, she refuses and tells him she's going to kill him like the dog that he is, and then it happens. The gun goes off, missing Severiano's head by mere inches, instead a poor feather pillow meets his/her maker. RIP little pillow, RIP.

Lo Imperdonable #61 Tue 8/11/15 The Episode Eli hated to have to recap
Okay, so I hated this episode, and I'll tell you why: this is going to throw the recap a little bit out of order but I need to get this out. The last five telenovelas that I've watched all had a female in the cast suffer a sexual assault and quite frankly I find it disgusting that in 2015 writers are still so lazy that they would resort to having a someone be sexually abused in order to move the plot along.
In last night's episode Magda fell victim to her awful husband Aaron. He raped her and in the process made me hate this show even more. Because not only has this been heavy on the slut shaming and treating the women like dirt but now they throw a rape in? Really writers? REALLY?! Think about it you guys, five novelas and all five had rapes in them, why? Are there really no better ways to tell a story than to have a woman be brutally abused? Really? Anyhoo, the recap is below and I'm personally counting down the episodes till this one is OVER.

La Sombra del Pasado, Capitulo 125 (Mex 128), 08-11-2015: Old dogs with old tricks should remember payback's a bitch
Don Antonio has Sev where the
Devil’s had so many others: on his knees, begging for his life. He wants to
kill Sev like the rabid, cowardly dog that he is. He wants to kill him in the
shadows where he’s committed so many of his own crimes. With no witnesses, his
death will be just another unsolved crime in the trail of “not-enough-evidence”
crimes that Sev’s been racking up for years. It’s what he deserves. It’s what
the town deserves. Indeed, Don Antonio might be the hero Santa Lucia deserves.
Sadly, it’s not to be. Sev has a saving grace and it’s name is Emanuel. By
virtue of the fact that Sev fathered Eman, Don Toño won’t kill him and before
he leaves, he makes sure Sev knows it. “Don’t forget this: Emanuel doesn’t owe
you his life. You owe him yours.” Don Toño’s barely out of the shot before Sev
is plotting revenge. “You should have killed me,” he mutters to himself,
struggling to regain his composure. “You should have killed me.”

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #21 Tue 8/11/15: Hotfootin' It Back To Easy Street
It’s Friday and Maria Dolores is in her wedding dress telling Daddy up on high, as she has flashbacks to her happy childhood, that this is the day he and she always thought to share together.
At the hospital downtown, news that Ivana is in the hospital has traveled fast in the cultured and well-heeled circles, that Ivana is doing poorly. Ursula, with Me-me-me-first Maleny in tow, has come to pay homage in hopes of winning her over again. Ivana’s unwitting doctor lets the preggers news slip, believing it’s still all in the family and happy news for Daniel, the soon-to-be-doting daddy.

La Sombra del Pasado #124 (Mx 127) - Mon 8/10 - Uncertainty
After Sev slaps Cande, Dominga helps her up. Sev goes on a really bizarre rant about how Cande never loved him and that's why he sought out Roberta. He put her on a pedestal, and now he knows she was always thinking of Padre J when she was, uh, "with" Sev. He's acting heartbroken over it, with tears and everything, but the question is…is he really? And more importantly, does anybody care or are we all handing him quarters? Cande taunts Sev with "At least he's a whole man, and I don't mean your missing arm." I suppose she means his soul. Sev taunts back with "At least I'm a real man and not one who put on a cassock rather than fighting for the woman he loves. But of course, he doesn't know what a woman is." Totally thought he was going to end that with "of course, he never loved you." Missed a primo opportunity there, Sev. He continues his tantrum alone in his office, downing a drink and breaking the glass in his hand.
Don Camilo talks to the cops about the afternoon Adelina died. And BTW, he thinks Sev did it. Incompetente barely restrains himself from rolling his eyes.

Lo Imperdonable #60 Mon 8/10/15 Yeah, but you should see the mosquito!
What goes up must come down, including Marty's mood.
Over breakfast, Marty and Vero are all lovey-dovey as they chat about their new house (which will have a room for Matilde, natch). Marty wants her to see the plans he has drafted, so he steps away for a moment to get them. Meanwhile, Matilde joins Vero at the table. The women get to talking about Poor Emi and The Ginny Problem. "I know she'll never be able to make him happy," Vero says.
Uh oh. Marty has returned and overheard the conversation.
"And who do you think could make him happy?" he asks grimly.
Go figure. Now that she's really sick, she fakes being well.

I
don't usually get rattled, but I'm glad I didn't have to be around
for the honeymoon. There are some things that defeat the strongest
stomachs. Even war would be better than this.
Nothing

First: My recording cut off just as Fac was going to open the door. WHO WAS THERE????????
Second: “Antes Muerta que Lichita” premieres Tuesday Sept. 22. Surely we will see the Ultimas Semanas announcement soon.
Third: This is from memory, sooooo out of order and really, really short....
Rocio remembers that Isa has the code to the boutique. Despite Fac trying to stop her, Maria goes to Isa’s house and accuses her of breaking in and tearing up the store. Isa denies it. She is not a common thief.

TELEMUNDO Y MÁS: BAJO EL MISMO CIELO, EL SEÑOR DE LOS CIELOS 3, AVENIDA BRASIL, etc – week of August 10, 2015
There’s a whole lot of stock shtick going on in Bajo el mismo cielo these days (the Evil Blondes who deny their roots [pun intended], say, or Low Self-Esteem Girl falling for the Probably Not Totally Bad Boy). But it’s still a remarkable show, I think, for two reasons:
-First, because its story is told from the perspective of the undocumented Mexican immigrant. I can’t recall another story voiced this way. Can you?
-And second, because the characters of Carlos, Adela and Luis – the moral core of the story – are beautifully written and acted.
I’m so glad you are watching this one and talking about it here. I’m looking forward to reading what you have to say this week.
Fans of Avenida Brasil and El Señor de los cielos – let’s hear from you!
Everyone – have a great week!

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #19 Fri 8/7/15: Wham, Bam, What a Sham
Parte 1~~
Daniel catches his mistake and glibly promises to marry Maria Dolores in a proper church as soon as they might be able to, mourning and the added expense being his two major considerations. Mama Esperanza and MD are glad to hear it—and in the end both women say sí, sí, sí as Viewerville screams at the screen, “--Oh no, no, no!!!!!”
Gerry is coaxing Ivana out of bed. (We note the matching purple in Gerry’s choice of shirt and Iva’s nightgown which serves to confound those of us in Viewerville who are currently laying bets as to which team talented Gerald bats for.) Work has never betrayed her, so alright. She’ll go back today.
In the barrio, a nurse and her AA sponsor arrive at Honoria’s home to help out with Fermin’s illness. Honoria is shocked to see two respectable-looking individuals there instead of the two drunks she thought their doctor seemed to be advocating. Oooops! Her bad.
