In 2023 Giovanna Lancellotti stated that she was harassed while filming her first sex scene in this series.
''I had some troubles (with other scene partners), like, at the time, the term 'harassment' didn't even exist 11 years ago, I didn't even talk about toxic relationships, so it was very difficult in a scene in which that there was sex, nudity, you can talk until then, until here you can't'', she added.
'It was very difficult for you to go 'oh, here he is touching me, there's no need for it on the scene'. And as they didn't have those terms, I didn't even have anything to stick to, so I was afraid of saying something and it would be unprofessional,'' she said.
The actress also added that she was afraid of commenting on something and someone would say: ''Hey, that's part of the scene, you're not prepared for that.'
Elizabeth Savala (from the original series) was considered for the role of Machadão, but Roberto Talma felt she did not fit the character. Since she had been starring Walcyr Carrasco's dramas since 2001, Carrasco and Talma briefly clashed over Talma's decision.
Cláudia Raia, Alessandra Negrini and Flávia Alessandra all turned down the role of Zarolha, which went to Leona Cavalli.
