Preta Gil launches autobiography to celebrate her 50th birthday

Globo has forwarded an agreement with actress Bella Campos for her to be part of the cast of the remake of "Vale Tudo", scheduled to air in April 2025 in the network's prime time. In the plot, she will be Maria de Fátima, daughter of Raquel, who in the new version will be played by Taís Araújo.

The column found that all that remains is to sign the contract. Globo is not confirming Bella yet because of this and also for strategic reasons. The company should only start talking about the remake in October.

Bella was not the favorite for the role. She only tested last month. Julia Dalavia appeared behind the scenes for the choice. However, she weighed two factors. The first was the fact that Bella was a trusted name for Paulo Silvestrini, the director responsible for the remake. They worked together in "Vai na Fé" (2023).

The second is more logical: Bella convinces the public more as Taís Araújo's daughter than Julia would, because they physically resemble each other. Bella's popularity among young audiences and her performance in recent soap operas also weighed heavily.

Bella Campos is 26 years old and is from Cuiabá, Mato Grosso. She debuted on TV in 2022 as Muda, in the remake of "Pantanal" (2022). Her performance earned her the award for best supporting actress at the 2022 Best of the Year.

Her debut was supposed to take place in 2020. She passed tests to be part of that year's season of "Malhação", which was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The soap opera never returned to the air.

In addition to Taís Araújo and Bella Campos, names such as Cauã Reymond and Paolla Oliveira are also included in the serial's cast. Fernanda Torres negotiates to be Odete Roitman.

In its original version, "Vale Tudo" told the story of Raquel, who is abandoned by her husband and is forced to raise her daughter, the ambitious Maria de Fátima, alone. , then played by Gloria Pires. Its ending was suspenseful thanks to the question that made Brazil stop: "Who killed Odete Roitman?".

In addition to the original airing, the plot had three reruns: one on Globo in 1992 (when standards image quality requirements were not as high as from the following decade) and two others on the Viva channel, in 2010 and 2018.

In 2022, Globo even considered a rerun of the plot in Vale Pena Ver de Novo, instead of the re-exhibition of "The Clone" (2001), but the plans were scrapped.

This Tuesday (17), singer Preta Gil took her fans by surprise when she confirmed her romance with singer O Kanalha. The artist made a statement to her loved one in her Instagram stories. However, the two have not yet officially started dating, but the celebrity paid tribute to the artist's birthday.
