Marjorie De Sousa was the host of Premios TVyNovelas 2016 where she presented alongside Gabriel Soto. The Venezuelan beauty has already landed her next project as she will be joining the cast of "Sueño De Amor." The Juan Osorio production has been struggling with ratings as it was confirmed when Univision moved it out of primetime and swapping it with "Un Camino Hacia El Destino." De Sousa will be playing a character called Cristina Vélez who is described as a woman with a shocking personality, educated and noble. Cristina Vélez will join Instituto Palacios with the challenge of restoring order to the education system. According to an official statement from Televisa, Marjorie said that she was honored and happy to be part of the telenovela and was grateful to the producer for allowing her to work with him and his great team.

Juan Osorio, the producer behind "Sueño De Amor," recently admitted that his production has not done so well with audiences. "I think we are in a ratings crisis in general," he told "La Taquilla." "I take full responsibility because I proposed this telenovela with these characteristics and we are fighting for it. I am very convinced of results and what we plan to do." The telenovela starring Betty Monroe and Cristián De La Fuente was not doing so well with the Univision audience and the time switching did not come as a surprise. "Sueño De Amor" airs weeknights at 7pm ET/PT on the Spanish-language network.
