Growing up, I have always found telenovelas very entertaining. The characters that I find most entertaining always seem to be the villains. I feel like those characters are the ones that give these shows life! Without these characters the telenovelas would not have the amount of attention they have received over the past years!
These are some characters that have become my favorite villains so far:
Leticia Calderón as Carlota Espinoza de los Monteros
En Nombre Del Amor (2009)
This woman was always frustrated and in a bad mood throughout the whole series. She didn’t care if she hurt her own family. She would go out of her way just to make her niece completely miserable. She also hated her sister and made her life hell. Stay away from people like Carlota!
Edith González as Joselyn Rivas Del Castillo
Mundo De Fieras (2006)
This woman was just a plain mess from the beginning of the novela. She blamed her husband for her son’s disability. She learned from Miriam’s, her mother, manipulative ways and began to use that against anyone who surrounded her. She had a daughter, Karen, from her first marriage and taught her how to be as manipulative and abusive as she is. She killed a few people and (SPOILER ALERT) in the finale she commits suicide since she would rather die than go to jail.
Diana Bracho as Gabriela Acevedo
Fuego En La Sangre (2008)
Gabriela was a really cold mother. She had three daughters who fell in love with three brothers who own a bakery. She makes it completely impossible for their relationships to prosper. She even falls in love with her oldest daughter’s ex-husband, Fernando! Fernando becomes Gabriela’s lover and soon they become accomplices in many crimes. In the end Fernando betrays Gabriela by burying her alive. Poor Gabriela.
Angelique Boyer as Teresa Chavez
Teresa (2010)
I would have to say Teresa is my favorite villain so far. She was actually both the protagonist and the antagonist in this novela. She was very smart and confident in herself. She new what she wanted and did whatever she could in order to reach her goals. She’s an ambitious girl, but that ambition drove her to do things her family was not proud of. She decided to leave the love of her life in order to choose a man that practically had everything. She used her charm and intelligence in order to become this man’s wife. She ends up taking his money and after her husband is practically homeless, she goes after his best friend and takes all of his money as well! Greedy much?
Angelique Boyer as Ana Leticia
Tres Veces Ana (2016)
