Mexican actress Marimar Vega might be soon joining her sister Zuria in Televisa. She was recently seen in the Televisa studios, where she reportedly auditioned for José Alberto ‘El Güero’ Castro’s next novela "La Malquerida". Vega revealed that she is in talks with Televisa, but there’s still nothing confirmed. She also stated that she’d like to participate in a project that will help her grow as an actress.

It seems that Edith González is quite angry because of the recent schedule changes in TV Azteca that indicate that the upcoming ‘Las Bravo’ will not premiere as planned, giving its timeslot to the Brazilian ‘Avenida Brasil’.

It was reported that she decided to quit the entire project on last Thursday. She asked to leave the novela because of the drastic changes in what was supposed to be TV Azteca’s next big success. She reportedly spoke with the executives of the company and showed her discomfort with the situation, pointing out that she’s not feeling appreciated in the company.  

Although filming for the upcoming TV Azteca production ‘Las Bravo’ will continue as planned, it was recently informed that the company is planning to make some significant schedule changes which will affect the novelas that are planned to be aired on the network.

Due to such changes, ‘Las Bravo’ will supposedly not premiere as planned and will be replaced by the extremely successful Brazilian novela ‘Avenida Brasil’. Although ‘Las Bravo’, starring Edith González and Mauricio Islas, will still be filmed as planned, it is still unknown when it will actually premiere.

‘Avenida Brasil’ will probably air in the 9:30pm timeslot, dubbed in Spanish. This revenge-focused novela became the most successful and most exported Brazilian novela of all times.

Only one of the TV Azteca produced novelas has already granted its timeslot, and it’s ‘Por siempre tuya… Acapulco’, starring Melissa Barrera and Daniel Elbittar. It has already began filming and will air on 8:30pm. 

TV Azteca released the first promotional photos for its upcoming novela 'La mujer sin nombre', which is expected to premiere on February, replacing 'Prohibido amar'. It will be starred by Melissa Barrera and Daniel Elbittar.

The novela tells the story of a young and beautiful woman who dreams of falling in love. Her life changes when she meets a man that doesn’t remember who he is and where he’s from, and she helps him to start over, and ends up falling in love with him, not knowing that this love will make her suffer.

The cast is also comprised by Ceci Ponce, Francisco Angelini, Aura Cristina Geithner, Rafael Sánchez Navarro, Erick Chapa, Ramiro Tomasini, Israel Amescua, Eva Prado, Amaranta Ruíz, Ale Ley, Germán Valdéz, Fernando Sarfati, among others.

According to producer, director and acting coach Raúl Quintanilla, 90% of the protagonists of telenovelas which are produced in Mexico or in the U.S. (by companies like Televisa, Argos, Telemundo and TV Azteca itself) are graduates of TV Azteca’s CEFAT (center of formation for television actors). Andrés Palacios, Paola Núñez, Carla Hernández, Ana Serradilla, Silvia Navarro, Marimar Vega, Adriana Louvier, Víctor González, Pablo Azar, Bárbara Mori are among the alumni of CEFAT, among many others.

Quintanilla, who directed "Mirada de Mujer: El regreso", commented on the plans of Televisa to make a remake of the successful plot of “Mirada de Mujer”. He said that he doesn’t judge the work of other companies’ remakes, but said: “at the end of the day, the important thing is that the story can be told several times.”

When asked about the debut of Ximena Navarrete in "La Temprestad", he said: “Everyone have the right to make their projects as they want, it is a company and these are ways of making business.” He added: “Maybe they think that she has a big potential. It is recommendable to prepare her well and to help her because the public not only wants to see a pretty face.”
