Recap To The Past Week: Rubi 2004 Is Coming To TLNovelas Africa, No Word On The Follow-Up To Classic Series

During the month, TLNovelas unveiled a brand new on air look and as seen in various European territories they were being nostalgic with by rolling out a couple of classic content and from what was seen through various outlets the 2004 adaptation of Rubi is gearing up for its debut on the channel.

Based on Yolanda Vargas's 1963 serial Lágrimas, Risas Y Amor, the series follows the titular character living in a poor household comprised of herself, her single, elderly mother Doña Refugio, and her older sister Cristina who is the breadwinner. They live in a rundown department complex. Thanks to the efforts of Cristina and Rubí's own academic brilliance, Rubí is able to get a partial scholarship at a prestigious private university. While majoring in Business Administration, Rubí befriends and envies Maribel, a crippled, shy, Spoiled Sweet girl.

Maribel meets Héctor, a rich architect, on the internet and the two quickly become a couple. However, Héctor finds himself very physically attracted to Rubí from the get-go. With Héctor comes Alejandro, a middle-class, talented physician who subtly pretends to be more well-off than he actually is in order to seduce Rubí. The two genuinely fall in love but due to Alejandro's trickery and Rubí's ambition, their relationship is ill-fated.

Rubí, overcame by heartbreak and her envy toward Maribel, sets out to seduce Héctor who she has proof is wealthy. She succeeds and they flee to Cancún the day of Héctor and Maribel's wedding. Once married to him, Rubí starts living her dream life, surrounded by luxury and a handsome, wealthy husband eager to please her. Unfortunately, she's no Karma Houdini and her deeds start catching up to her three years later when it's revealed that Alejandro became a Self-Made Man and that he and Maribel are now an item.

The series stars Bárbara Mori as Rubí Pérez Ocho, Eduardo Santamarina as Alejandro Cárdenas Ruiz, Jacqueline Bracamontes as Maribel de la Fuente Ortiz, Sebastián Rulli as Héctor Ferrer Garza, Ana Martín as Refugio Ochoa Vda. de Pérez and Yadhira Carrillo as Elena Navarro.

As advised the series airs on the channel daily at 19:05 from April 3rd. As for the follow-up which was initially announced, it has been filmed in English not sure what's going on in terms of premises but the original become one of the top shows while that one was the most hated so far amongst adaptations.

Our sources did hit us with the 2020 component but considering how behind the channel is on a number of aspects. I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for it to air at some point in the year cause honestly does anyone need the follow-up cause this version makes more sense to explore.
