'Abrázame Muy Fuerte’ Remake: Univision Telenovela Gets Tentative Title ‘Pecados Del Corazón’

"Pecados Del Corazón" is the working title that the "Abrázame Muy Fuerte" remake is known as. Based on the Caridad Bravo Adams original "Pecado Mortal" the new name pays homage to that title. Sergio Goyri will be taking on the role of the main villain that Cesar Evora played in the previous version. If we remember, Aracely Arámbula was the lead actress of the soap and co-starred with Victoria Ruffo and Fernando Colunga. As of right now the lead actors have not been confirmed but Angelique Boyer is the front-runner as Angelli Nesma will be producing. Nesma has produced Boyer's previous two telenovelas, "Abismo De Pasión" and "Lo Que La Vida Me Robó." It is rumored that this series will replace "La Malquerida" on Univision in January, airing in the U.S. first and in México in March after the finale of "Hasta El Fin Del Mundo."

"Abrázame Muy Fuerte" is the story of Cristina (Ruffo), a young girl whose sweet disposition endears her to everyone at “El Platanal,” her father’s beautiful hacienda. Her father, Don Severiano Alvarez, is a rugged, iron-willed rancher. His foreman, Diego Hernández, is a strong, handsome young man who is madly in love with Cristina, and she surrenders herself, body and soul, to his passion. Cristina admits to her father that she is pregnant with Diego’s child. Severiano sends her to the city with her servant Raquela. There, her daughter is born. Federico Rivero (Evora), a cruel and greedy individual, takes advantage of this situation and arranges for the baby María del Carmen (Arámbula) to be brought to the hacienda as Raquela’s daughter. In order to be close to her daughter, Cristina is forced to marry Federico. From this moment on, she will pass as María del Carmen’s “Godmother.” Federico causes an accident that leaves Cristina blind, and takes possession of her fortune.

Years go by and María del Carmen is now a beautiful young girl. Cristina has taken pains to provide her with a good education. Everyone at the hacienda loves her, especially José María (Pablo Montero), a lowly ranch hand. Believing she is Raquela’s daughter, he dreams of one day marrying her. The arrival of Federico’s nephew brings him great joy. Carlos Manuel (Colunga) is now a handsome young doctor who has recently completed his studies abroad. Carlos Manuel falls in love with Déborah Falcón (Nailea Norvind), not realizing that she is his uncle’s lover. When Federico finds out about their relationship, he looks for the way to drive them apart. María del Carmen falls in love with Carlos Manuel from the moment they meet. Realizing their young love, Déborah joins forces with Fedrico and manages to separate them, but for all their scheming, they are unable to kill their love.
