Casting Selection

Originally, the writer wanted Giovanna Antonelli to play the antagonist Carminha, repeating their successful partnership from Da Cor do Pecado. However, the actress declined the offer because she was already committed to the telenovela Salve Jorge, written by Glória Perez, and could not take on another project at the same time. After Antonelli’s refusal, the role was offered to Alessandra Negrini, but the network’s management vetoed her casting due to personal issues involving actor Murilo Benício, who would be playing her romantic partner in the story. Eliane Giardini and Fabíula Nascimento were considered as possibilities for two different phases of the character, but the idea was discarded. Following that, Malu Mader and Adriana Esteves were considered, and ultimately, Esteves was cast in the role.

To play the sensual character Suélen, director Amora Mautner personally invited Marjorie Estiano, but she declined as she had already been cast as one of the leads in Lado a Lado —a telenovela from the 6 PM timeslot, which later went on to win Best Telenovela at the 2013 International Emmy Awards, beating Avenida Brasil. As a result, Isis Valverde was confirmed for the role.

Regina Duarte and Fernanda Montenegro were invited to play Lucinda. However, Duarte didn’t like the character’s profile, and Montenegro was busy filming the movie A Dama do Estácio, so the role was passed on to Vera Holtz.

Juliana Paes declined the role of Noêmia in order to star in the remake of Gabriela (2012), which was a high-profile lead role. The part then went to Camila Morgado.

Mariana Ximenes was initially considered for one of the leads in Cheias de Charme but declined it to play Débora in Avenida Brasil. However, the network later reassigned her to Guerra dos Sexos, stating that the role of Débora required a younger actress. After several “6 PM telenovela” lead roles, Nathalia Dill was cast as Débora. Nathalia was reportedly disappointed with the direction her character took—initially introduced as the second antagonist (after Carminha), meant to interfere in the relationship between Nina and Jorginho, but she ended up becoming a supporting character with no independent storyline.

Opening sequence

The opening was created by director Alexandre Pit Ribeiro, which featured 135 dancers dancing on a catwalk. The choreography was produced by Dudu Neles.^[37]

The opening theme is a re-recording of Vem Dançar Kuduro with new Portuguese lyrics, adapted to the Brazilian market. It was played by Robson Moura and Lino Krizz, and known for its refrain “Oi Oi Oi”, which became successful in social networks.^{[citation needed]}
