Camila Queiroz wins role in soap opera and returns on top of Globo

The world goes round, doesn’t it Camila Queiroz? A year after leaving Globo accused of having made a series of “unacceptable contractual demands” even before the end of the recordings of “Verdades Secretas 2”, the actress returns to the station. She was cast to play one of the central characters in the upcoming 6pm telenovela, “Amor Perfeito”.

O F5 found out that Camila was chosen by the duo of authors of the plot, Duca Rachid and Júlio Fischer, which premiere is scheduled for March 20. The cast is already starting to gather for text readings in the second week of January. In addition to the actress, Mariana Ximenez, Eliani Giardini, Felipe Camargo, Guito, Paulo Betti, Vitória Strada and Júlia Dalavia are some of the names confirmed in the production.

Camila, who debuted on Globo playing Angel in “Verdades Secretas”‘, in 2015, entered into friction with the broadcaster after the recordings of the continuation of the plot by Walcyr Carrasco were extended in November of last year. At the time, Ricardo Waddington, entertainment director at the station, spoke about the case in an interview with columnist Tony Goes, from F5. In the chat, he said that the demands made by the actress were unprecedented. “She wanted to change the outcome of Angel. Tony Ramos cannot do this, Fernanda Montenegro cannot do this”, criticized the director.

He also denied that Camila Queiroz’s move to Netflix, where she recorded the reality show “Casamento à Cegas”, had strained the actress’s relationship with the broadcaster. “Regardless of what happened in Camila’s contractual relationship with us, what motivated her departure from the station were the demands she made to fulfill an extension of just seven days”, he replied, who stressed that none of the cast had resistance in relation to the daily rates. extras, minus the actress. “All the rest of the cast agreed to do it. There wasn’t a single person who said, ‘Oh no, I’m not going to do seven nights,'” he said.

Waddington went even further. “We are professionals. We protect what we do with our lives. ‘The show cannot stop’ is not a figure of speech. It is the law of what we do. The guy goes there with a fever, sick, his mother died , but he gets on stage and delivers what he has to deliver”.

According to the director, in addition to changing the expected ending of Angel and demanding that it be in a possible third season, Camila also wanted the power to approve the campaign to launch the soap opera. “The advertising campaign is not the responsibility of Globo Studios. The campaign obeys a marketing logic, and we have specialists who establish this logic. I’ve been with Globo for 39 years, I’ve worked with casts for 39 years, and I’ve never seen anything like it “, vented.

Globo even sent a note justifying the actress’s departure. “Impacted by the strict protocols adopted during the pandemic, the recording period of the work, scheduled to end on the last 10th, had to be extended by seven days. To sign the necessary contract extension for the recording of the final scenes of the soap opera, Camila Queiroz wanted to determine the outcome of the character Angel and demanded a formal commitment that he would be part of a possible third season of the work, in addition to other unacceptable contractual demands. Globo then decided to conclude Verdades Secretas 2 without the participation of the actress. being recorded and the scenes will be adapted so that the essence of the plot is maintained”, read the statement.
