Lo Imperdonable #87 Wed 9/16/15
From Last Night...
Pablo's mom consoles him as he finally realizes that he has lost AP. She tells him that she too lost a love once and understands his pain.
At the Prado/Castelo offices Ginny tells herself that she's going to take advantage that she's now working at the offices to get revenge on everyone. They will see that she's capable of anything. She calls Dr. Dan and tells him she is going through a bad time and he can't desert her when she needs him the most. He says that he's sorry but she can no longer count on him; she's on her own. She realizes that Dr. Dan is out to get her and that she can't let that happen. The assistant then comes in and tells her that they need her in the conference room and to make sure to take pen and paper because she will need to take notes, after all she is Vero's assistant.
Arturo trades some tomatoes for some flowers to give to Blanquita. And we see Blanquita climbing out the window to go meet her new friend.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #17 Wed 9/16/15 (Mex 22)
Princess Juju asked for a sub for last night's episode. I volunteered to get some highlights out to the clamoring crowd. This is in no particular order, with combined scenes, from memory (and a quick FF review) and very, very bare bones. I'm sure I'll miss something significant.
Frederica makes her way to Eloisa's bedroom, but her attempt to open the safe is unsuccessful. She is interrupted by Sergio and his *ahem* special guests. Frederica claims she was in Eloisa's room trying to get some rest. It is the only quiet room it seems. She and Sergio get into it about her borrachera (drunkness...more like drunken fit) at the mass. He doesn't want Frederica badmouthing Maximo.
Fiorella grouses to Simoneta about Gianna. Her little sister is getting an attitude. Simoneta wonders if Gianna is jealous of Fiorella's relationship with Pedro. Fiorealla has no observation skills. It takes her forever to notice that Simoneta is drunk.

Amores con trampa #122 and #123 9/16/15 and 9/17/15
Before I jump into the recap, I just want to thank Sara and Marta for being such great recapping team members. I really enjoyed working with you both on this one and am looking forward to working with you again on "Antes muerta que Lichita." I cannot believe "Amores con trampa" is almost over.
Capítulo # 22
So, here we go. . . .
Out in the country, Felipe is convinced something stung him and he rolls around in pain in Hilda's arms. He is going to die, everything is blurry, he sees the light, he sees the tunnel. He does not want Hilda to leave him alone. The tarantula is on its way away from him through the grass. Hilda tells him to take it like a man, not to move and just wait, wait . . .
The Carmona's are all around the table eating. Carmen is crying that after the latest Francis attack, nobody is going to want her as a model. Maybe she should just kill herself As she holds a roll up to her neck. They all tell her not to be so dramatic. Facundo tells her first she is going to finish her studies, second she is going to graduate and third they will see what happens then. The door bell rings and Conchita goes to answer it.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres #46 Tue 9/14/15-Punching Claudio solves nothing, Orlando!
Alright, before I get this party started, one random question. Is anybody else having issues with their DVR catching the last 10-15 minutes of Lo Imperdonable before our favorite novela actually starts? Is it just going over, is Univision screwing with the schedule, what's going on? It's been going on for quite a while now, and I don't need anymore screwy recordings. How can I fix it? Now on to the recap!
Excellent, my dvr only caught 3 minutes of Lo Imperdonable. Moving on...

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #16 Tue 9/15/15 (Mex 20-21) Half-reveals
Federica and Eloisa view the footage from this morning at the police station. Federica feigns concern. I'm sure Eloisa's concern about the family's rep isn't feigned at all!
The bicycle cab thingie's owner sees the two "thieves" kissing and shouts at them to stop. Thanks a lot, dude. Though, there were some weird shadows, so if they could maybe make it to somewhere with better lighting, so I can properly evaluate the technique…. Anyway, Fiorella and Pedro make a run for it!

Lo Imperdonable #86 Tue 9/15/15 Discussion
Sorry everyone. Princess Juju isn't feeling well and I have to wake up early tomorrow because I am starting a new job. Luckily, not much happened tonight, so please feel free to discuss away and if you want fill in what happened. Thanks!
(Thank you Anon7)
Jorge told Virginia she wouldn't inherit one dime from him unless she agreed to work at Prado Castelo. He was not about to give her his hard earned bucks. Salma had a sad & claimed Virginia was too sick to work. Emi was like no she's not. Virginia agreed to go to work and told Salma she could use it as a way to be close to Emi..
Jorge told Salma that after her divorce outburst that disrespected him he was not about to let her have the house. The house is for Emiliano, his wife and their children. So if Salma wants to get to stepping he'll set her & Virginia up elsewhere but the house she will not be getting. He also told her he was seeing her face he had never seen before. Salma had a sad.

Lo Imperdonable #85 Mon 9/14/15 Go reconfigure!
The ties that bind have been undone. Families are falling apart. Couples are uncoupling. There is an epidemic of broken hearts. Heroes are battered and bloody. Villains are on the ascendant. But the mood on the Patio is upbeat. (Besides, it's an open bar and Carlos is pouring.)
The Old
If Ireri's father hadn't already died, she would certainly have killed him with her overacting.
Lucía tells Pablo she can no longer be a witness to his self-destructive pursuit of Ana Perla.
Matilde is missing – and so is the -n- on the hospital sign. Again.
 |
| The place sometimes seemed n-less, and so did the story. |
¡Maldito infeliz! ¡Él me tiene en sus manos!
(Damn bastard! He has me in his hands!)
Salma overhears Virginia say these words aloud after her upsetting phone call. Now Salma wants to know who has gotten Ginny's panties in a bunch... hmmm, poor choice of words, perhaps.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #15 Mon 9/14/15 (Mex 19) Prelude to a Kiss!
Sonia overhears Pedro telling Fidel he wants to risk everything to pursue Fiorella. Sonia crashes down from her high. Federica notices and chides her about it. Pedro checks in with her before leaving for the office that she is ok. Yes, she is, she says cooly. Osvaldo enters as Pedro exits and they head for the office as well.
It doesn’t take long for Roxi to get Benito in trouble. It’s the morning after partying at the anthro
and her sitting in Benito’s lap as the car weaves down the street calls
attention to the police. They are
arrested and hauled in for driving under the influence. Roxi does her most memorable (and irritating)
shrewish squealing to date. She throws a
hissy fit when they are stopped and also at the Police station about how she’s
an Angeles and these pitiful peons have no IDEA who they’re messing with. At the station an officer records the whole
tirade on his phone and calls one of his contacts with the media. He must get lots of juicy stories like this. Rey bails Benito out. Roxi is rude and dismissive of Rey, of
course. Benito hopes he doesn’t lose his
job!
Eloisa, Sergio, Julieta, Anibal and Freddie are having
breakfast. Roxi and Gael are missing Eloisa
notes and Joaquina claims Roxi is still asleep.
Freddie busts out both Roxi and Gael:
they didn’t come home. I think
Joaquina knew. Small talk about the hunt
and the spiritual retreat Eloisa and Julieta are going on. Fifi runs in and breathlessly announces that
Gigi is nowhere to be found! Eloisa
sends the devil, I mean, Dante, to look again for Gianna when Gael enters to
tell Eloisa and Fiorella that she is in her room. Eloisa fusses Gael out for not being at the
office and Freddie is on hand to tease and imply that Gael was “messing around”
with the little Italian girl. Gael seems
confused and defenseless. You need to stay away from Federica, honey!

Yo No Creo en los Hombres #45 Lunes, 9/14/15
Detective work
is a hard grind sometimes. Especially when people mumble and it's
too hard to read lips. So here are just the facts, ladies and
gentlemen. Even if they're missing a detail or two.
– D.H.
Chapter 45:
All Talk and a Little Action
Alma
told Isela over the phone that she will never trust her again.
Ari
and Doris were at his place. He was getting jealous of Orlando
because Doris went to him first. She told him he was in no position
to talk in view of his backstreet affair with Maleny. He asked her
what kind of man she thought he was. After all, he had bought her
the bear. He was probably lucky she didn't answer him then, but he
got lucky that night.

Amores con Trampa #120 and #121 Monday and Tuesday 9/14/15 and 9/15/15
Here's a quick run down of events as I remember them (out of order and highly condensed.) I went right to bed after the episode and I was really distracted last night. Needless to say, y'all may need to fill in.
- The Carmonas continue the screaming from hair-raising fear. And that's that.The next thing you know, they are back at their dining table in the DF. Fac has on a really lovely jacket (the first distraction.) They joke about Concha's scary face cream. Fac claimed he wasn't afraid.
- Feli admits to Isa that he is falling for Hilda. Isa asks him to take care of himself and to respect the house. In other words, take the lovin' somewhere else.
- Carmen and Rocio are in full planning mode. Francis comes into the boutique and knocks a rack of clothes over and tramples them.

Synopsis:
This is the story of Lichita, the most ignored employee at the Icónkia ad agency. When she landed the job at Icoónika, she had high hopes of moving up quickly in the company. Unfortunately, she's in a rut and her career is going nowhere. She is in fact, invisible.
Tired of being "Lichicienta" and not being recognized for her years of hard work, Lichita decides to change and recover what she deserves. She decides to stop being Lichita and become Alicia. She would rather be dead than ever go back to being "Lichita"!

Lo Imperdonable #84 Fri 9/11/15 The Video Resurfaces & The Doc Has The Viper In His Hands
Repeat:
* A clean shaven Pierre finds out his mon chéri still has the hots for Marty. He's NOT amused at all by this.
* Dr. Danny Boy is fired! Booyah!
* Salma shocks everyone by shouting that Ginny is her "hija".
The New:
All eyes focus on Mommie Dearest. If she indeed is mother of the Viper than she lies to save her booty by explaining that what she meant was that Ginny is her daughter since the day that she and Jorge decided to take her in. Jorge, who as we know has been using his brain cells lately, isn't convinced with her explanation. He's sure that her preference for the snake has to do with Salma's past (past? what past?) and he'll investigate. She tells him to go ahead and investigate if he wants but if he continues insisting on kicking Ginny to the curb then she'll have to divorce him. I say: take the divorce, Jorge!
As AP and Julio walk home, Julio apologizes to AP for slugging Pablo. AP is worried that Pablo hurt his hand. When Julio asks her if she still loves Pablo she replies that she does still love him.
Pablo returns home and tells his mom about the fight with Julio. Did he hurt his hand? she asks him. Yes I did, he replies. Lucia is worried about her son, but all Pablo can think about is AP and 1. What she's hiding from him and 2. What Grandpa Goat wants to do to her. Lucia puts her foot down and tells him that she won't let him continue hurting himself. Don't make me hate that girl! she tells his son. She insists on calling the doctor and doesn't care that they can't afford it. Why she'll even get money from under the rocks if she has to.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Cap 44, Fri Sept 11, 2015 or, "Hopes and Dreams Set Aflame"
Recap from JdesdeNYC~
As usual, some scenes combined
Drunk Maleny shows up at Max's and gets a rude awakening as she sees champagne glasses and shirtless Max. She runs pass shirtless Max to his bedroom where she sees MD covered in nothing more than a sheet. She proclaims Max or MD as a disgrace (un asco), and is shooed out by Max. Max reassures MD of their commitment to each other after she complains that Maleny will spit her venom against her to his parents. They love each other, have no commitments with others and aren't doing anything wrong, Max earnestly reminds MD.
In a lonely dark room, Ivana sits alone in her wedding dress wallowing in her misery and contemplating her next move when her aunt Susana comes in, turns on the light and busts Iva's macabre bubble. She sarcastically congratulates Iva for getting a marriage and child without paying a cent. Iva's face is now the one cracked open since her rationale for marrying Dan the slime was so transparent to Susana. "Don't try to deny it," Susana says. "That is the only reason why you would marry that bum (zángano)." Susana knows knowledge of the fact of the steal MD's baby plan gives her a chance to remain as a leech living off her niece or she will tell the press of Ivana's plans. Ivana realizes she will have to cede to her aunt if she wants her plans to stay secret. (As evil as Ivana's plan is, I feel sorry for Iva. It is obvious she's suffering from PTSD after losing her baby, in addition to her severe self-esteem issues and neither Susana or Gerry for that matter, who should be protecting her and telling her to get mental/spiritual help, have fallen down on the "be there for Ivana" job.)

Weekend Discussion: Your Favorite Classic Novelas
Friday, September 11, 2015
Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #14 Fri 9/11/15 (Mex 18) Ooooooo, Pedro!
We have a little overlap from the end of yesterday: Sonia rejecting Osvaldo’s amorous overtures because she thinks he just wants to make a little Angeles heir; Anibal (as attractive to me as an upchucked hairball) tries to put the moves on Fifi and gets blocked by Benito; Pedro, at the beautiful mausoleum with the waterfall, tearfully says goodbye to Tania, asks her forgiveness and in her name pledges to give Fiorella all the love that he couldn’t give to her.
At El Rancho, Eloisa and Julieta talk about the upcoming
traditional celebration of Maximo’s birthday.
Eloisa doesn’t feel like participating this year, the first celebration
without him, and invites Julieta to join her for a spiritual retreat. Julieta could use it, perpetually in a funk
about her marriage as she is: they can
pray, meditate, think! Julieta doesn’t
think so: she’s afraid to leave Anibal
alone. Granny Eloisa tells her it’s her
choice. She’s got two options: "Accept the husband you have, relax and stop
suffering or separate from him for good!" Go, Granny! Osvaldo
breathlessly enters the saloncita where they are. He’s looking for Pedro!
At La Dolce Vita, Vitto is reviewing resumes of applicants for
the position of assistant, the position Benito vacated.
This bright morning finds Gigi sitting up in bed reading
when Osvaldo bursts through the open door looking for Pedro, [Why in the heck is he looking for him there?] As soon as Osvaldo leaves, Gael flies in
ready to give Gigi a piece of his mind about setting up him and Roxi! "Ah!
Are you the guy who helped me when I was sick?" Gael looks like, Wha?
Gigi flies into Gael’s arms and he melts as she repeats “Grazie, grazie”
over and over. What’s a guy to do? He hugs her and rhythmically pats her
back. Ahhhh!

Amores con trampa #119 11 Sep 2015 Spooky houses, nightmares, the secret's out about Rocio's origin.... and Pantera finally finds someone to man up to confront her.
Santee begs Isabel… she says shes tired of this
situation. She confesses that many years
ago, in a weak moment, … (wait for it… wait for it….) her sister confessed a secret… that she (Isa’s
sister) and Santee were an item… (he is
impactado enough to fall to sit on fireplace base…) she remembers… Malena died just after
confessing, leaving Isa with the baby in her arms…
Santee asks why did you never mention or question anything
of me?... Santee says ‘now that you
always knew… its true… I was with her but I did not know she was your sister…
you gotta believe me… we(you and I) were not married yet… I just found a pretty
girl… we had some fun… danced… I had no idea she was married or that she was
your sister… and that night…. She got pregnant with Rocio… when I had my daughter in my arms for the
first time… her tiny hand…. I understood that that night was the most wonderful
of my life… you know how I adore my daughter…. (she hugs him) … I love my
daughter… I feel she is the biggest blessing of my life… please forgive me…. (Isa asks him for
forgiveness for having told Esteban…)
they hug again…
Maria’s boutique…. Rocio can’t believe what Carmen said… that’s
the one thing she is not liking about living in the country… that there are
wild dangerous animals… Carmen says
there are other wild dangerous animals here in the city… Rocio guesses she
means Francisca…. Carmen has not seen
her recently and that worries her… In
comes Diego… The girls are happy to see
him, he calls Carmen ‘mi amor’…
Back to Santee and Isa…. Santee wonders how he could ever
have trusted ‘my friend’… Santee wants
to go find Esteban to confront him…. Isa says don’t bother, don’t end up in
jail on his account. Santee sits down
at fireplace base with her again…. He wants Isa to arrange a meeting with
Esteban…. ‘we will set a trap for him… .he will learn what it is to live “amores
con trampa”’.
Rocio and Diego tell Carmen that they have made some
arrangements to help Carmen out… Carmen is heading back to the country
(driving). This scares both Diego and Rocio.
Carmen says she will be alright, they should ban the huge trailers and
trucks though. Diego offers to drive
her himself… he can’t risk ‘the next TOP MODEL’… Carmen and Diego leave.

Help Needed!
I suppose it was bound to happen sometime. Many of our recaps, and in some cases comments as well, have been copied and pasted and presented as someone else's work (i.e., copyright infringement, plagiarism). I am in the process of contacting the sites in question and asking to have them taken down, but it's a tedious process and I could use some help. If you have decent search skills, patience, and an even temper (because, believe me, it's really tempting to leave nasty messages for some of these people instead of following proper channels, and we need to avoid that!) and would like to help out, please email me. I especially need people who use Facebook, as the majority of the sites in question are Facebook pages.
Please be aware that this is taking my entire focus at the moment, so I may not be doing my usual updates on the feeds this weekend and I may not have time to get into any specifics about this infringement issue. You're welcome to ask, just don't expect an answer right away!
Update: Facebook has begun to respond by taking down the offending posts, but the list is still growing. 2 down, 1 report submitted without a response yet, and 10+ more Facebook pages and other sites that I still have not finished combing through yet to be able to make reports.
Update: Facebook and Blogger are taking down the offending posts, sometimes entire pages. The list is now shrinking instead of growing, but there is still more to do. If you're interested in helping out, email me and I'll send you some links to research. To repeat--we are making headway, our rights are being upheld, and the word is getting out that, no, copying and pasting is not a legitimate way to run a blog, website, or Facebook page.
Update: This is a special message to those who are now aware that we are conducting investigations and requesting takedowns. I would like to point out that we are within our rights to do this. It's not a matter of just giving credit--we do not allow any reprinting/republication aka copying and pasting. It's nothing personal, it's just our policy. I'm aware there is some confusion and some hurt feelings and rumors are starting to swirl around, so let me make it clear that ALL we want is to preserve our intellectual property rights. If you voluntarily take the posts down, then we have nothing to report to Facebook, Blogger, or your web hosts and you will save yourself a LOT of trouble. If you want to be helpful to your readers, the best thing...the ONLY thing...it is ok for you to do is to share with them the link (the web address, the URL, the "http:...etc.") that points to the particular recap they're looking for. Our recaps are already available and freely shared. There is NO reason for all this copying and pasting and editing. If our recaps are not to your taste, if your readers don't want to come here to read them, then we highly encourage you to begin writing your own.
