Univision announces debut of ‘Teresa’.
February 25, 2011
From the producers of the record-breaking novela “Rubi,” Univision Network announced the highly anticipated premiere of its new primetime telenovela “Teresa.” This is a scintillating story of a seductive woman named Teresa (Angelique Boyer) who is driven by her ambition and greed, and would rather lie and cheat her way out of poverty and into riches than achieve anything through hard work and honesty. The novela is centered on how Teresa uses and manipulates all of those around her, especially men, to get what she wants. Ultimately, this heartless beauty will betray all of those who love her, including her parents, to later confront a time of reckoning. Featuring a star-studded cast, including Aarón Díaz, Sebastián Rulli, Ana Brenda Contreras, Cynthia Klitbo, Silvia Mariscal, Juan Carlos Colombo and Margarita Magaña, among many others. The novela was written by M. Bechelani and adapted by Ximena Suárez. Premieres Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 9 pm ET/PT (8pm Central)
Teresa’s parents have made great sacrifices to give her a good and decent life, but never content she always wants more. Mariano (Aarón Díaz), her boyfriend, is truly in love with her and always supportive, while Teresa merely sees him as nothing more than an accessory. Time and time again, she leaves him to run after other men with power and money, but always comes back when other women, such as her friend Aurora (Ana Brenda Contreras) start getting too close to him.
Among the first men she leaves Mariano for is Paulo (Alejandro Nones), the richest and most attractive man in the exclusive college she attends on scholarship. He proposes marriage, but calls it off once he discovers her lies and penniless background, preferring to keep her as his mistress. When she refuses, he publicly humiliates her. However, Teresa is quick to plan her revenge.
Her next marriage proposal comes from Arturo de la Barrera (Sebastián Rulli), a professor who falls deeply in love with her, but whom she eventually betrays as well when his sister Luisa’s wealthy fiancé of royal blood, Fernando (Daniel Arenas), catches her eye. Eventually, however, Teresa comes face-to-face with the consequences of her actions.
