"I would never do something like that. Taking the title of an icon of Brazilian television drama and making the changes that were made", said Duarte, in an interview with Folha de S.Paulo. In the original plot, she gave life to Raquel Accioli, a young girl who needs to get back on her feet after being deceived by her daughter.
The most drastic changes took place in the story of the protagonist, played this time by Taís Araujo.
In the new version, the cook returned to selling sandwiches on the beach after her company went bankrupt – something that was not in the original work. "What is this? What character is this? I don't recognize my character", says Regina. "Don't call it 'Vale Tudo'. The soap opera may have been great, although I haven't seen it, but I couldn't call it 'Vale Tudo'."
Tais Araujo herself has also regretted the changes in history. "That moment of Raquel going back to selling sandwiches on the beach, I confess I was shocked. It wasn't the original plot. For me, Raquel was on an upward curve. When I saw that, I said: 'Hey, are you going back to the beach, guys?'", said the artist in an interview with Quem magazine last year.
In May of this year, the actress once again commented on the changes. "I was invited to play a character, and I knew her story. And, suddenly, they introduced me to another one; then I thought that was really weird," said the actress, on the program Sem Censura.
