Lo Imperdonable #91 Tue 9/22/15

Hi patio peeps! I'm back! I'd like to thank everyone that helped out last week, you guys are awesome sauce. Now your recap!

I wish Raymunda and Co would fall off the face of the earth:

Joaquin comes home and tries to explain things to Raymunda but Manuel and the old goat get in the way and well Raymunda is an idiot and refuses to listen to him, even when he says that everything is a big misunderstanding, Manny ends up throwing Joaquin out of the house because he is no longer a member of the family. Man, now I'm really wishing that Joaquin dumps Raymunda, gets with the teacher and moves to the city with Polo and Blanca #teamteacherandjoaquin

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #21 Tue 9/22/15 (Mex 28) Date night

Benito quickly covers his "old man" gaffe and claims the viejo in question is Anibal.  He was just telling his dad about him and Rey was worried, too.  Fi's grateful and all, but she can take care of herself, thanks.  "Say hi to your parents when you see them."

Osvaldo has been summoned to the Ministerio Publico and Dante kept the info from Eloisa.  I'm guessing this is about the "accidental" shooting of Pedro.  Osvaldo should be fine, as long as he doesn't have any priors and hey, he didn't do anything wrong, right?  Sonia eavesdrops as she puts on her face.  Or her other face.  Whichever.

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #1 Tuesday 9/22/15

Wow. Lots of information and new voices to get used to. I have performance anxiety. I don't recall having ever recapped a premiere...

Lichita begins her tale…

My name is Alicia Gutierrez López. I am passionate, noble, impulsive and intelligent. Nothing gets in my way...except myself [and your fashion sense.]

She falls into the pool and continues her narration. What could have been the best day of her life, might be her last. She comes up for air, gasping out a cry for help. She asks herself if she is so invisible that no one even notices she exists? She slowly sinks to the bottom of the pool. My name is Alicia, but everyone knows me as...Lichita.

Lichita breaks the fourth wall. If we want to know what a story like hers is about and how she came to be Alicia, we need to know that she had to leave a lot of herself behind because she’d rather be dead than be Lichita again.

Days before…

Lo Imperdonable #90 Mon 9/21/15 Say what? Alfredo Sauce wasn't even on the menu!


Q:  Yeah, but why did the OTHER engineer cross the road?  
A:  To get to the homicide! 

Marty is crossing the street in pursuit of Verónica when a speeding car comes out of nowhere.  Whoa!  The driver is aiming right at him!  

Hold on!  You forgot the beer!

At the last second, Marty rolls out of the way.  Wait!  Someone else is there too, someone who isn't as lucky as Marty.  This person is thrown in the air like a ragdoll and then crashes down on the ground, bloodied and still.  Oh no, it's Alfredo!

[¿¡Qué!!???   ¿ALFREDO??? What is he even doing there?  And in that last frame, didn't we see Marty crazily trying to stop the car with his bare hands?  How did he get away?]

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #20 Mon 9/21/15 (Mex 26-27) Fiorella, La Consentida!


Ciao, MIVAC Patio Peeps!  We are flung right into the action!  Julieta is with Anibal in their bedroom discussing the spiritual retreat.  Julieta thinks it was well worth it, especially for Eloisa.  Uh oh! Julieta discovers the emerald ring that her father gave her is missing from her jewelry box!  We are thrown immediately into the living room where we were left on Friday when Fiorella entered carrying a pitcher of water and a bottle of medicine.  It is for Pedro.  Simona asked her to bring it.  Eloisa examines the medicine and is alarmed that Pedro is taking antibiotics.  Well, he had a minor injury when he fell from the horse.  He’s fine.  Pedro takes the medicine and Freddy makes a crack about how Fiorella is so attentive to her master, just like in a novela.  Pedro says he’s got work to do and leaves.  Eloisa thanks Fiorella for her attention to Pedro and politely dismisses her.   Roxi pouts and whines that Fifi is just fussing over Pedro so she can get next to Eloisa.  Eloisa thinks that Fiorella is setting a good example then!

Amores Con Trampa #125 El Gran Final- Full Circle

We made it! I think I've been smiling since NovelaMaven's recap of the premiere to tonight's final credits.

I don't even care that there were loose ends and Francis kind of got a reward and there was no Margarito. I am very happy with the gran final!

This has been such a blast. I am so glad we had a patio for this. Thank you Jarifa and Marta for taking on much of the recapping duties and thank everyone who stopped by and sat a spell.


Facundo wins the billiards on horseback bet and the party gets going. I love final episodes that look more like cast parties!

Well, until the bad guy tries to burn people to a crisp (achicharrar.) Isa and Esteban vow to have a happy marriage. Ernesto Laguardia steals the scene with his royal waving. I am in love with him and I will watch anything he’s in from now on (Dear Rosy, if you are reading please find a spot for him in the cast of Antes Muerta Que Lichita. You won’t be sorry.) Esteban lurks outside and splashes gasoline everywhere. The house goes up in flames. Everyone inside panics. Mauricio thinks Pelancha burned dinner. Lots of running around and screaming. Mauricio even films it. Santi wants to get them all out of the house. Isa remembers her mother and goes to get her. In her hurry to get her mom out of the house, Isa hits her head and is knocked unconscious.

La Vecina Discussion and Highlights #65-69 Sept. 21-25

Things I'm pondering...

Guillermo is still setting off my alarms. I feel like his deal with Eduardo is not above board. He was a little too icky when he saw Sara.

How will Cheo react when approached by Pedro's guy? He's not capable of murder, but will he warn anyone?

Pedro is surrounded by henchmen. One of them is Anselmo...played by Eduardo Shacklett. Normally his roles are larger and he has more lines. Will he be given more story?

There are lots of little possible plots that we've been given.....

Antes muerta que Lichita: cast of characters

Sadly, Univision decided not to give us pictures and sketches of the minor characters.

Lichita, full name Alicia Gutierrez Lopez, (Maite Perroni) is sweet, intelligent, and very capable, though everyone considers her an invisible assistent. She is noble, talented, passionate about publicity, a hard worker at the advertising agency Icónika... but she's timid and sometimes very impulsive, which will get her spouting a lot of lies. She's convinced she deserves a raise, but no matter how hard she tries, all she gets to do is serve coffee and make photocopies. But that's all going to change.


Roberto Duarte (Arath de la Torre) is handsome, astute, intelligent, enterprising, a charismatic seducer. A good man, he has a noble heart capable of tenderness [I don't think "seducer" and "noble heart" go together - Ed.] He has the gift of gab and draws people in. He doesn't trust women much. Being so able, he's rapidly successful at Icónika. He has to lie and even rob, but he has a hidden, important reason for acting as he does. [In the preview I saw, he looks way too old for her - Ed.]


Sandra (Chantal Andere), the ad agency director, is made of iron, but those who know her intimately are aware she is a woman who needs love. Her nickname at the agency is "Gorilla" because she is as sweet as Tyrannosaurus Rex.


Luciana (Ingrid Martz) is arrogant, conceited, and sexy. She loves selfies. Appearance is everything with her. Educated in Argentina, she favors everything foreign, she doesn't consider herself to be cut from the same cloth as the pack of dogs in NacoLand. She's beautiful but bad as can be. She is Lichita's sworn arch-enemy.


Augusto de Toledo (Eduardo Santamarina) is thought by all to be the most exemplary husband and father. For him, appearance is everything. His ambition is limitless, but even greater is his Machiavellian malice. If this were a fairy tale, he would be the fearsome dragon! [Aww, that's too bad. I like him. - Ed.]


Magos (Sherlyn) is Alicia's sister. She is sexy and irresponsble, a real "Nini" [??}]. She left school when she was 15 and came home with a surprise - she was pregnant. Motherhood in no way helped her grow up; she is the eternal adolescent, and her daughter sees her more as a sister than a mom.


Ignacio Gutiérrez 'Don Nacho' (Manuel 'Flaco' Ibáñez is Lichita’s father, a taxi driver who loves Lichita to pieces. He blames his bad luck on others.


Elsa López de Gutiérrez (Sylvia Pasquel) is Ignacio's nice wife (Lichita's mom).

Lo Imperdonable #89 Fri 9/18/15 ♫♪♫♪Crazy Crazy Marty Watch Out For That Car♫♪♫♪

(scenes have been combined to help the recap flow better) 

Vero says the "D" word

Vero and Emi arrive home only to find the main floor of the Prado Castelo mansion filled with many roses. Emi is sure Crazy Marty sent them. Vero wishes Marty had shown this romantic side of him back when they first arrived in Mina Escondida. Vero is determined to make it clear to Marty that everything is over between them. 

The next day, we find a weeping Vero in her room as she recalls past moments with Marty. She's determined to do what she must do because she doesn't want to hate Marty.

Annnnnd .... she does exactly that because she shows up at Marty's doorstep accompanied by her divorce attorney - Lic. Espinosa. Vero shatters Marty's heart into a million pieces (like he shattered hers) and ask him for a D-I-V-O-R-C-E.  Dun Dun Dun. 

Now we on The Patio have spent months and months getting to know these characters and we know them so well that it's no surprise when Marty refuses and refuses to accept the D-I-V-O-R-C-E. He insists and gets all stalker crazy and touchy with Vero as he has done before. Vero has to tell him to not touch her. The two get into their millionth argument and it's basically the same old same old argument we have been seeing these last few episodes.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres 49 Fri 9/17/15 Dangerous Liason Endangered

Parte 1~

Maria Dolores calls Isela on The Big Lie. Josepha the Heifer told MD and Orly both that Ise was involved with Claudio and went to bed with him because she wanted to; there was no rape.  Josefa is who she is but she tells the truth when it suits her!  Ise spits back that MD's just trying to throw that in her face because of what’s going on with her and her sister.  MD is muy impactada that Ise ha turned so vicious.  (So much for BFF-dom.)  

Meanwhile Orlando and Doris continue their midnight heart to heart over his being ditched for a horny old rich man due to Jose’s mental abuse of her daughter.  Doris’s solution is to act.  “--Think of something and do it, Orly.  Don’t let them walk all over you!”

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #19 Fri 9/18/15 (Mex 24-25) Love Comes a Calling!

Pedro surfaces from pain-killer induced sleep when Fiorella enters the room.  He asks her to come closer.  He repeats over and over that he loves her and they kiss tenderly.   He wants her by his side, always.  She tries without success to shush him.  He loves her and he wants to shout it; her wants to marry her and have children; have a beautiful family.  “I’m going to fight for you, to get my Grandmother to accept you; that’s what I’m going to do, I promise I will do whatever I have to for her to accept you into the family.”  Pedro is so deliriously passionate that Fifi gets alarmed and runs to go get the Dr.  We see Dante slink away from the door.

Remember that a Detective overheard Sonia and Osvaldo arguing about Pedro’s shooting, the words “attempted murder” having leapt out into the air.  The Detective hovers over Sonia and Osvaldo.  This is one of many times that he’ll sputter that it all happened so fast, he’s unclear on details.  Wait.  What’s this?  Gael comes forward to say he saw the whole thing, his brother stumbled and the gun went off accidentally.  Detective dude sternly instructs them to go down to the police station and make formal declarations.  He leaves.  Sonia is surprised and disbelieving of Gael’s story.  Well, she’s going to give her statement now and get it over with.  She leaves.  A gobsmacked Osvaldo thanks Gael for covering for him.  Gael shrugs off the thanks:  he simply thinks it wouldn’t be good for the Angeles to have him go to prison and when Pedro wakes up, Osvaldo is going to tell him everything!  Gael strides away.

Amores con Trampa.... a kidnapping that ends up on a rocky head bump... Santee unmasks Mr Haecke... Francis gets a taste of the life of rancheros... A happy Carmona family contrast with a charred Velasco house

Santee and Isa keep chatting back and forth whether they will return Facu’s money or not…
Florencio and pantera… to kiss or not to kiss  (why is Pantera considering kissing Florencio? To buy him off?)
Santee has a meeting with Don Haecke at some café… (did they close the deal? I didn’t get how this ended)
At Carmonas, the family is discussing why would Pantera want to hurt Maria…
Isa and Santee… Isa has some presentment that something bad will happen. She feels that this ‘wonderful’ business deal is ‘not for us’.   In comes Rocio asking to talk to them…
Perpetua and Maria are at store, Perpetua walks away to kitchen to get some water, In comes Pantera. Maria keeps wanting to know why Pantera wants to mess with Maria. Pantera finally spills the beans ‘you both left me without my dad… my dad abandoned me to go with you two…’  Maria attacks Pantera and when she is about to hit her with a huge vase, Pantera spills the beans that ‘I am your sister!!’
Rocio is upset, wants the family splitting to stop… she does not want to stay away but she does need answers. Santee volunteers to give her the answers, first of all I never cheated on your aunt Isa.   Rocio denies it… but Isa clears up that when Rocio was born Santee and Isa were not married yet.  Santee says the day he first held her and saw her was the most important day of his life (he is crying, and remembering when Rocio’s mom ‘handed over to him’ the love of her life… he promised her he would do it for all of them). He swears that what he has always fought for is their family. HE wants the Velasco family to always stay together. Rocio apologizes to Isa for all the unfair accusations.  Isa thanks her.  She wants them all to ‘start over’ (empezar de cero).  Santee apologizes to Rocio… she hugs him calling him ‘papa… I love you’ … for the first time.  There is a three-some family hug. 
Back to the store…  Perpetua yells that the only daughter she had was Maria, and she would never have abandoned another one… Pantera tells Maria that they have the same dad, he abandoned her mother to go be with them (busconas).  Perpetua keeps telling Pantera she does not believe a word she is saying.  Pantera asks Maria to tell her ‘my version of the facts’. Perpetua warns Maria that Pantera is dangerous… Pantera insists in wanting to talk one on one ‘woman to woman’.   Maria gives in… you could see the gears in Pantera’s head already rolling about how she will get payback on Maria.
At Carmonas, Facu and Beto are irate yelling at Perpetua asking how could she let Maria go with Perpetua after Florencio had come to warn them… Perpetua tells them that Pantera even said that Maria and Pantera were sisters…  They all wonder where to look for them…  Facu has an idea, there is some gossipy person who knows where they could find Maria. 
At some hacienda that looks like the old La Mentira hacienda, Pantera has Maria sitting on a chair in the middle of outdoor concrete/stone walls that look like a labrynth.  Pantera yells at Maria that she will pay not only the harm they caused her, but the pain they made her mother go through. You will pay! (a couple swings of her whip)
Francis is begging Felipe (at the office) for him to come back to her.  In comes Hilda willing to separate them by force if she has to. Francis asks are you really considering her when I am here?  Felipe says yup, and as a matter of fact, I am heading to San Bartolo with her. We are together. Francis huffs and puffs ...

Lo Imperdonable #88 Thu 9/17/15 So many couples and nobody's happy


Hello, gang! This will be short and condensed, as I feel like the episode only had a few highlights and a lot of rambling in between. 

Pablo and AP kiss, she admits that she loves him, but she’ll still marry Julio, for a very important reason. Pablo doesn’t get what she’s talking about, but he can see a different spark in her eyes, a brightness that makes him feel even closer to her. What could it be? AP says that it’s the life and love that is growing inside her and Pablo is like: “Are you falling for Julio? You weren’t like this when you met me"
Well, nobody ever accused Pablo of being smart…

She almost faints and he becomes worried for her health. As Blanquita comes back from her own romantic rendez-vous, AP keeps rejecting Pablo, saying that being with him would threaten his life. Again he doesn’t get a thing. AP manages to spell it out for him that she’s pregnant, but she does it without wanting to, which I think is quite an accomplishment - these two are so saccharine, they make my teeth hurt.

Anyway, when she says that there is something that will keep them close forever, he guesses that she’s pregnant and he’s overjoyed. Just then they hear Raymunda’s screams from the living-room, so the girls leave to see what’s going on. Pablo doesn’t want to leave AP there, but she rejects him one more time and off she goes. Julio arrives and stops Pablo from following, explaining that this is not a good moment for the family and he better go. Run, P, run for your sanity!

On his way home, he’s very happy, making plans to work hard, earn money and save AP from her golden poisonous cage.

Yo no Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo 47 Wed 9/15/15 Highlights- Shaving only brings bad luck!

Hello all, from now on I will be only posting highlights in order to focus more on my life. To be honest I have gotten quite addicted to computers in general and for that reason I stopped using my tablet for a while. It is difficult for people to admit the simple fact that old habits die hard. I hope you understand me. Now on to the roll in no particular order

  • Clara tosses all the missing jewels on the family table at the Bustamante's. She at first begins yelling at Alma that she did not do anything and that all was just a little trap but later admits the crime of fear ( But she really did not do anything at all). Maleny attempts to call the police but Alma is not so sure. Mal advises to Alma that this is their golden shot in order to get rid of these poor gold digging witches but Alma fears the reaction of her sons. 
  • MD and Doris go out on a boring meeting for their new website but what would be an otherwise boring scene was made different because Ivana got to be the judge! Fortunately everything went on well because MD and Doris won. Ivana wondered why does MD need all of this when MD will get all the goods for giving Ivana Daniel's baby. MD breaks Ivana's heart of steel by informing her that she is not preggers at all. Gerry accompanies Ivana out of this very humiliating contest. Much later Ivana as usual rants like no tomorrow but Gerry is not impressed with her mission to make her life a miserable hell. Ivana tells him that this is not about vengeance at all, she just wants to have maternal feelings even if the baby is from someone else.
