Lo Imperdonable #93 Thu 9/24/15 And the bad, very bad, extremely bad things continue to happen to good people

Antes Muerta Que Lichita #3 Thursday 9/24/15
We began with Lichita flopping in the water in a bright red dress which no one seems to notice (this party must be that good huh). As she descends further into the pool we get a sudden flashback to her childhood. Growing up Lichita's favorite story was Alice in Wonderland. Her father had high hopes for her to fulfill the dreams he never accomplished. So starting from an early age he made sure Lichita studied often instead of reading childhood stories (Ignacio is like my mother who made me do extra book reports and math homework instead of watching tv...sigh). Anyway, all that hard work paid off because she grew up and graduated university. On the other-hand, at age 15 her little sister, Magos, surprised the family with her pregnancy.

- With help from Doris and Julian, MD successfully avoids her mom and Max. She goes to the police station to make a statement, but both of the men that deal with her are dismissive and disrespectful.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #23 Thu 9/24/15 (Mex 30)
Aitana asks for a hug. Maybe it wasn't full on sliming, but that "You don't know how much I missed you" was totally a vocal slime. Blech. Eloisa decides to tell Fiorella all about how Aitana and Pedro almost married, but they broke up. Ah! Now life has now given them a second chance. Blech Part Deux. Oh shut up with your stupid "I've felt lost" crap, Aitana.

Muchacha Italiana Viene a Casarse #22 Wed 9/23/15 (Mex 29) Talk about a bad first date
Oh man, talk about a bad first date!
Well folks, the truth is OUT. Vito and Fifi meet, and Pedro is all sorts of confused, and Fifi is heartbroken and this is all so freaking sad. Curse you Benito! All of this could have been avoided if he had told Fifi the truth from day one! More on that in a second!
Both Pedro and Vito are asking for explanations, Fifi tells Vito that she got lost at the airport and when he leaves she tells Pedro what happened. After her dad died she and Gigi had no one else in the world, Gigi's health kept getting worse and when Vito offered help (on the condition that she marry him) Fifi took him up on the offer, she explains about getting lost and looking for Vito and failing to find him. It looks like Pedro is not buying it, Vitto the returns to the table and they both begin to question her, she becomes overwhelmed and runs out of the restaurant, where she bumps into Benito.

Yo No Creo En Los Hombres Capitulo (51-)52 Wed 9-23-15 Discussion Page [Recap]
I am putting up a recap sometime later but since this was such a god-awful, hideous and humiliating episode there must be much left to talk about. Jesus Christ this episode reminds me of Que Te Perdone Dios but Fausto (Sergio Goyri) was much much worse than Daniel . Another episode with a rape scene and they always shock the viewers no matter what. I will please (?) you with a recap in a few hours. I am working on it. It will be on the same page as the discussion page so expect it to get updated frequently.

Lo Imperdonable #92 Wed 9/23/15 An Attempted Murder and A Chase in the Jungle All on a Bed of Roses
Manny continues his assault on Pablo's lifeless body. He drags Pablo out the front door.
Casa SanTelmo
Marty and Vero are in the midst of the afterglow of their love-making session. He promises to love her every instant that he is alive. Vero doesn't want anything or anyone to separate them again. He promises to protect her and their privacy as he should always have done. Vero says that she knows their love will light the way, but that if she ever gets impatient, and wants to open up old wounds, to hold her and never let go. He promises to do just that.
Mexico City
At the hospital (the only one in El D.F.), Salma and Jorge have a heart to heart in the cafe. Salma was young and innocent. She gave herself (sexually) to a man who seduced her with lies and when he got what he wanted he left. She later realized she was pregnant. Jorge asks if that man was her cousin. She says that no, her cousin Roberto only took advantage of the fact that she was pregnant because his wife could not have children. They took advantage of her post partum depression and stole Salma's baby when she was 2 months old.

Antes muerta que Lichita #2 Wednesday 9/23/15
We start out with Lichita still at work with Chuchette and Néstor looking on and realizing that they did not even renew her temporary contract. Néstor tells her life is not fair and Chuchette advises her that her contract expires tomorrow and to stay until the end of the day today if she wants to get paid for a full day. Those two leave and Lichita's phone rings. To make matters even worse it is her mother Elsa calling her from the hospital to let her know that her dad's surgery went well but that they needed a few unexpected items in the operating room so the bill will be a little higher for a total of 45,000 pesos. With the added charges, Lichita will have to come by to sign on her credit card so they can discharge her dad. Her mom is relieved that at least Lichita has a good job but that they will all work to get the debt paid off. Lichita tells her Mom not to worry. Lichita feels the weight of it all and does not know what she will do.
In the next scene, Lichita is at the hopital signing for the bill. Her dad don Nacho is sitting wearing his glasses over both of his bandaged eyes. A taxi will be coming to pick them up. Her mother asks her if she is okay. Lichita says she is. Her dad is agitated that Lichita had to come at all and starts to harp on how much the operation cost. Her mom tells him to just rest and brings up the fact that Lichita has a good job now with her permanent contract. Lichita says she has to get back to work and leaves. The temporarily blinded by bandages don Nacho goes to bless Lichita but she is already gone and he ends up kissing his wife's hand.

Lo Imperdonable #91 Tue 9/22/15
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
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
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…

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
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
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
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).
