 The telenovela was initially written by Ibsen Martínez, but he resigned six months later.It is believed that RCTV demanded him not only an extension (something very usual when a telenovela is very successful) but also a better ending for characters who were very popular but morally questionable, something he was not willing to do.Despite his absence, the telenovela lasted for another year under a team of scriptwriters, and when it ended it was still popular.
