Rainha da Sucata
Rainha da Sucata (Portuguese for Queen of Scrap) is a Brazilian telenovela that first aired on TV Globo from 2 April to 26 October 1990, in 179 episodes.
Rainha da Sucata was the first telenovela written by Silvio de Abreu for Globo's 8 p.m. primetime slot; until then he had authored several plots presented at 7 p.m. He was assigned to write a humorous telenovela as, at the time, there was a determination by Globo's Teledrama Department to avoid presenting overly dramatic plots in the slot, a practice that began with the airing of O Salvador da Pátria (1989). However, this proposal prevailed only at the beginning of the plot: due to the rejection of the excessive comedic tone by the public (a factor noted in focus groups), from June 1990 onwards, De Abreu decided to put comedy in the background and focus more on drama.
Also in June, the airings began to show longer episodes with the goal of reducing the impact that the telenovela Pantanal, aired by competitor Rede Manchete, had on later programs. This movement caused Pantanal to lose advertisements as it started to be aired later and later as a reaction. In addition, the "scenes from the next episode" segment shown at the end of each episode was removed.
Economic reforms implemented by then President Fernando Collor de Mello with his Collor Plan were incorporated into the story of Rainha da Sucata. Globo has been accused of knowing Collor's intentions and not warning the population of such plan, but in reality many scenes that were already ready for airing had to be rewritten to adapt to the new reality, as the government plan caused deep economic and social impacts.
In the middle of the plot, Silvio de Abreu had to get away from work and Gilberto Braga replaced him, having written 9 episodes.
The villain Laurinha Figueroa had her outcome 8 episodes before the end of the telenovela. In Episode 171, aired on 17 October 1990, she commits suicide by throwing herself from a building, but the mystery of her death is one of the leading threads of the final line of the plot. Three different endings were written in order to keep the secret about the destiny of the main character Maria do Carmo.
Set in São Paulo, the plot of Rainha da Sucata portrays the universe of the new rich and the decadent São Paulo elite contrasting two female characters, the emerging Maria do Carmo Pereira (Regina Duarte) and the failed socialite Laurinha Albuquerque Figueroa (Gloria Menezes). Maria do Carmo gets rich from her father's business, the junkyard salesman Onofre (Lima Duarte), and becomes a successful businesswoman, but keeps the habits of her humble past. She lives with her father and mother, Neiva (Nicette Bruno), in the Santana neighborhood of northern São Paulo.
In love with Edu Figueroa (Tony Ramos) a good life that had despised and humiliated her in her youth, she decides to “buy it”: she proposes to marry him to help his family, traditionally but on the verge of bankruptcy. Edu accepts the proposal, and the emerging, after marriage, will live in the Figueroa mansion, in the Jardins, sophisticated city stronghold. In the new house, Maria do Carmo begins to live a nightmare because of Laurinha. Married to Betinho (Paulo Gracindo), Edu's father, the socialite is obsessed with her stepson and goes out of her way to conquer him, and will not leave the "junk" Maria do Carmo in peace.
