Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Portuguese telenovelas dominate prime time; 'The Secret' continues SIC's tradition of ratings juggernauts that entire generations watch together.
Sara Matos reportedly developed distinct physicalities for each twin—Carolina's rigid posture versus Benedita's open gestures—so viewers could tell them apart even in silhouette.
