MultiChoice has launched a pop-up channel, TLNovelas on DStv dedicated to Telenovelas. This channel showcases classic stories that are worth seeing again.
Telenovelas generally traverse human emotions. They evoke a passion in viewers comparable to watching football. Telenovelas are a staple of many households. Most audiences see themselves in these characters; or they wish for or envy their lifestyles.
There are common themes that stand out in many Telenovelas: lost love, adultery, murder, long lost relatives, deprived inheritance, love found.
A happy ending is usually the ultimate compensation for all the skirmishes that the characters face. No matter the recurring themes, there just seems to be some titles people just can’t get enough of. Here are some titles that belong to this class and will be showing on the pop-up channel:
Teresa
In Teresa, a young woman, Teresa, is driven by greed. Despite the sacrifices of her parents to give her a decent life, Teresa would rather cheat her way out of poverty through the manipulation of those closest to her.
