La Traición (The Betrayal) is a Colombian telenovela co-produced by United States-based Telemundo and RTI Colombia. Telemundo debuted this serial on January 29, 2008, replacing Madre Luna. This show is also known as Betrayed.[2]

Traición is based on the Colombian novel El Caballero de Rauzán, written in 1887 by Felipe Pérez. RTI Colombia made an adaptation of the story in 2000 with the title of Rauzán. La Traición will likely air from Monday to Friday over about 26 weeks. As with most of its soap operas, Telemundo will also broadcast English subtitles as closed captions on CC3. Filming in Bogotá, Colombia, began in late October.[3]

[edit] Story

This romantic saga features Hugo de Medina, a handsome, mysterious hero, with a reputation as a womanizer. His life crashes around him when he finds he suffers from catalepsy, an incurable condition marked by loss of voluntary motion. The same disease felled his father years before.

This dashing young man meets Soledad de Obregon, a gorgeous, refined girl and the two are bound together by sudden passion – and an out-of-wedlock pregnancy.[4]

As the adoring couple prepares to marry, tragedy strikes again.[5] Hugo’s sinister brother, Alcides, who has always been in love with Soledad, betrays him and steals his betrothed. Our hero faces intrigue, desperation, and betrayal on his quest to rescue his true love and their child.[6]

[edit] Production Notes

This telenovela was originally announced with Mario Cimarro, Sandra Echeverría and Gabriel Porras as stars.[7] Danna Garcia replaced Echeverría and Salvador del Solar replaced Porras, who took the male lead in Madre Luna. Telemundo began airing ads promoting this show in September, before filming began.

Telemundo also took a shot at rival network Univision by having Michelle Vieth appear in first-run episodes of this show, while Univision airs Al Diablo con los Guapos from 2007. This highlights that the competing network rebroadcasts serials that already aired in Mexico several months ago, while Telemundo usually airs original programming. Michelle Vieth is thus one of the few soap performers to appear on competing US networks at the same time.[8]
