Cape Town – If you’re channel flipping tonight and can’t decide what to watch, you should tune into Telemundo (DSTV channel 118).
Before you thumb your nose at telenovelas, there are a few things you need to know: the storylines are gripping and filled with intrigue, you eventually get used to the bad dubbing and unlike American soaps they usually have about 100 episodes which means they do come to an end.
Still not convinced? Here are six really good reasons.
1. Jencarlos Canela plays Andrés Suarez the lead protagonist in My Heart Beats for Lola Volcan. He is the ultimate hero who fights for the love of his life and protects his family. Who wouldn’t want to be protected by those arms?
2. Fabion Rios. You can get a double dose of him; he stars in My Heart Beats for Lola Volcan where he plays the bad guy Angel Malindes. Bad never looked so good!
In The Del Monte Dynasty he flexes his softer side as Gaspar del Monte. Good or bad, these smouldering looks will keep you glued to the TV.
3. Gabriel Valenzuela as Emilio Conde in Behind Closed Doors. This is by far the darkest telenovela with thrilling twists in every episode. Behind closed doors is exactly where he should be kept, don't you agree?
4. Jorge Luis Pila plays Lorenzo Lobos in Aurora - a professional dancer and all round good guy. You know what they say about men who know their way on the dance floor...
5. Mauricio Hénao is Daniel Santa Cruz in My Heart Beats for Lola Volcan - the bad boy turned good. We all love a bad boy!
6. Carlos Ferro is Camilo Andrade in My Heart Beats for Lola Volcan. A casanova who has a different woman in his bed every night until he meets his one true love. How romantic! With all that experience we’re sure he knows how to treat a woman...
