When Rebecca Jones and Alejandro Camacho were married, they ventured together to explore other areas of entertainment including production, that is why they decided to do it with a soap opera and that was “Huracán”, in The one that had Eduardo Palomo and Angélica Rivera as protagonists, which did not have the results they expected and also ended up with a strained relationship with the ex-wife of “El Güero” Castro.
“We always said no (to Angélica Rivera), we needed a prepared actress, with more solvency and more commitment. She was not convinced, she said that the role of Palomo was more important and we reached the ridiculousness of having to break it down computerized the scenes to show him that he had more,” Rebecca Jones told Magazine at the time.
Alejandro Camacho explained that originally the protagonist was going to be Rebecca, but she couldn’t be doing both things (acting and producing). at the same time and they began to look for actresses, Verónica Merchant was the best option for them, but they could not achieve anything, so it was the directors of Televisa who decided that it was Rivera.
It was 1997 and both Palomo and Rivera had just made hits like “Morir dos veces” (1996) and “La dueña” (1995) respectively, so they had the difficult task of overcoming the characters that people still had very much in mind, so here they started the difficulties for this production, beginning because Eduardo Palomo continued to have the image of Juan del Diablo from “Corazón salvaje” (1993) and that he never lost until the day of his death in 2003.
But another thing that made the recording work of “Huracán” difficult, which was done mostly in Mazatlán, Sinaloa; It was the little chemistry that the protagonists had, even so with encounters and disagreements between them, the 120 chapters were finished, where the story of Helena, a renowned biologist, and Ulysses, was told. a seaman who does not have a good reputation, who have a pending love story between them and who together will fight against a corrupt magnate who is polluting one of the bays.
Things like Angélica Rivera not wanting to change her eighties hairstyle for a more modern one, wearing tight clothes or a bikini when her character as a biologist required an outfit for rough use like a diving suit, that she didn’t want to take diving classes, that in the hot scenes with Palomo, his chest was covered in patches, making the scene look uncomfortable and he even abandoned the recordings several times because he didn’t like something, They were the things that drove the producers out of their boxes and asked Emilio Azcárraga Milmo to put a stop to these rudeness.
When the recordings finished, Angélica declared in Teleguía magazine that it had been frustrating and that she had regretted having accepted this soap opera, because she had had to make many sacrifices, beginning because she had just given birth to her first daughter (Sofía Castro). and He was almost not with her because of the long work days, so that in the end it was not what she expected and that the novel did not have the approval of the public, so I didn’t want to work with Alejandro Camacho and Rebecca Jones again.
“He had us without sleep,” said Alejandro Camacho in said interview with Magazine and assured that they did not want to repeat the experience either and that they would learn from failures for future projects.
