00:00The most well-known soap opera story is about a sweet, good twin passing herself off as the evil
00:06one. But what about when it's the other way around? Let's take a look at some telenovela
00:11villains who impersonated their good twins or lookalikes. In Las Sos de Amor, one fine day,
00:17Maria Paula decided she was going to impersonate her sister, Maria Fernanda, and trick her
00:23boyfriend. Why? Because she wanted to, and because she could. She even buys a hair extension and puts
00:31together an impeccable look, just like her acting. The real Maria Fernanda was out of town with their
00:38grandmother, and Maria Paula was home alone. She calls Gerardo, and as soon as he arrives,
00:44she plants a big kiss on him. Does he find his girlfriend's bold behavior strange? He does,
00:50but he doesn't complain. They start making out heavily on the couch, and the fake Maria Fernanda
00:56pretends to be very embarrassed for behaving that way. The fooled boyfriend also gets embarrassed
01:02and starts with that whole speech about the couple who decided to wait.
01:11Then he leaves because he can't handle the temptation anymore, and Maria Paula is left
01:17incredibly frustrated for not managing to go all the way. To make her sister's romance even worse,
01:24she calls him later asking him not to contact her for a few days. Of course, so her sister would
01:30think her boyfriend is ignoring her. But not satisfied with just impersonating Maria Fernanda,
01:36she also pretends to be Maria Guadalupe, and not just once, but twice. The first time is when she
01:43runs into that dirty old man who liked Guadalupe, she plays along to get information about her missing
01:50sister. Later, she tricks the old man again, pretending she wants him to be her sugar daddy.
01:56But since he tried to be clever and attempted to take advantage of our diva, he ended up dead.
02:02Then she even goes to Maria Guadalupe's village to investigate more about her sister's whereabouts,
02:08playing a version of her with makeup and straight loose hair. In the final stretch of the story,
02:17when Maria Paula was already much crazier, she stars in one of the best scenes of the show,
02:23pretending to be the ghost of Maria Guadalupe, so their grandmother would believe her sister was dead.
02:29The trigeminal ghost version asks grandma to let her soul rest and stop looking for her.
02:35I love that scene so much, guys. And to top it all off, in the final chapters,
02:41she impersonates Maria Fernanda one last time, to set a trap for Maria Guadalupe in a sinister plan
02:48to get rid of both sisters. Well, my personal interpretation, it was Maria Paula who stayed alive,
02:55impersonating her sister forever.
03:04And speaking of sassy twins who like to pretend to be ghosts, how could we leave out Vanessa's
03:10revenge plan in the novella La Intrusa? Does anyone doubt that if Paula had been the sister
03:16who stayed with her mother, she would have ended up exactly like that? Anyway, Virginia wants revenge
03:22on Carlos Alberto for making her deceased twin sister suffer, and so she has the brilliant idea
03:29of pretending to be her ghost to torment and drive her brother-in-law crazy. This character isn't
03:35exactly a villain, she was ambitious, but compared to her sister, Virginia, who was so good it was almost
03:42tiring. And now let's talk about an usurpation that wasn't between sisters, but between lookalikes. By one of
03:50those crazy coincidences that only happen in fiction, Carlotta and Cordelia from La Outra were exactly
03:57alike, without being twin sisters. Do lookalikes exist in real life? Yes, but not at that level.
04:07Anyway, there was a time when Cordelia made a fool out of Adrien by impersonating Carlotta and flirting
04:14with him as if she were a pure and innocent young lady. That scene is simply hilarious. They even go
04:21to a hotel room and the supposed Carlotta acts offended that he took her there. Then she asks if
04:29he wants to kiss her. He says yes, and she says she doesn't know how to kiss. He offers to
04:34teach her,
04:35and when he realizes she kisses really well, he asks, wait, didn't you say you didn't know how to kiss?
04:41And she replies, it's just that I learn really fast, my love. Then the diva reveals herself,
04:48letting out her iconic laugh and leaving her partner in crime with a dumbfounded look.
04:55After that, they take advantage of the disguise to take out a life insurance policy and try to
05:01benefit from the real Carlotta's fortune. But changing telenovelas, do you remember the twins
05:07Damiana and Juliana from Abrasame Muy Fuerte? At first glance, their story seemed similar to Paola
05:14and Paulina's. One naive sister was being forced to impersonate her evil sister at home. They try to
05:22trick us by always dressing the villain in red and the supposed good one in lighter colors. It really
05:28looked like a more mature version of Paola and Paulina's twins. But little by little, we realized that
05:35neither of them was actually good. One was a schemer and the other was a crazy woman who went around
05:41killing men who she thought weren't worth it. One was always trying to sabotage the other,
05:47until at the end, Damiana ends up in jail and Juliana in a psychiatric hospital.
05:53Even though neither was the good one, if we compare them, Juliana did way more evil things,
06:00which is why they made the list. And also to pad the content, I won't lie.
06:06And now, to close this list, let's talk about male twins, Ignacio and Luis Davi from Cassandra.
06:13To summarize the story, the gypsy Cassandra was actually the granddaughter of Afonso,
06:19the stepfather of Ignacio and Luis Davi. When Ignacio discovers Cassandra's true identity,
06:26he takes advantage of the fact that she was in love with his twin brother, Luis Davi,
06:31to impersonate him and marry her. His plan was to keep the family fortune in his hands,
06:37and he used the fact that Luis Davi had left without telling Cassandra and without even saying
06:43his name to pretend he was Ignacio, the man she loved. Do you remember any other evil twins or
06:50lookalikes who impersonated the good ones?
