Mar\u00eda la del <\/strong>B<\/strong>arrio<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Aired in almost 200 countries, this telenovela is one of the most popular shows to ever hit the screen. Starring the Mexican superstar Thal\u00eda, this Cinderella-like tale is the story of a young pepenadora <\/em>(a scavenger) who lives with her madrina <\/em>(godmother) in a slum. One day, while attending a church service, Maria meets an older man who is drawn to her impulsive but joyful personality and invites her to move into his mansion, where she immediately falls in love with one of the sons, Luis Fernando.<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, Maria and Luis Fernando will live a passionate affair, marked by tragedy, loss, and betrayal.<\/p>\n

The show, however, belongs entirely to Soraya, the unbelievably evil, deliciously vengeful, shamelessly scene-stealing villain that will make Maria\u2019s life impossible from\u00a0day one.<\/p>\n

In this show-stopping scene, Soraya asks her nana <\/em>to display her \u201csatanic power\u201d by killing Maria, who seems to have finally caught Luis Fernando\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
