In the 1990s, when Fox launched some English language novelas, La Madrastra was the source material for Forever, which starred Maria Maynet and Mark Schneider. There were two other novelas, Acapulco Bay (which is preserved online I believe and is a variation on Tu o Nadie) and The Guilt (La Culpa).

THESE I've heard of before. For some reason I never saw them when they aired. Tu o Nadie was one of my absolute favorites of my telenovelas, and I was always sorry I missed seeing Acapulco Bay.

Do you know where online you can see it? Is it on YT?

I had such fondness for FASHION HOUSE and was so excited to see them try telenovelas.

I watched the first few weeks as it aired or so but I was a freshman in college and soon gave up, especially with the constant flashbacks and what was kind of a false promise of Bo Derek vs Morgan Fairchild and then Fairchild didn't even properly show up until halfway through the novela lol

That being said, I've seen about half of it now (there was an entire episode of like 6 minutes of new material and the rest was flashbacks!!) but I do want to complete it.

WICKED, WICKED GAMES looked very interesting as well but I never tried it.

Too bad they couldn't have done it a little better. Not having streaming at the time also messed their chances up.

I always thought these shows would have been interesting as Saturday afternoon dramas

Yeah, kind of like those Harlequin romance movies CBS produced after they had lost their NFL rights to FOX. Empty viewing calories, but a pleasant way to kill a weekend afternoon nevertheless.
