Tony Ramos celebrates the return of “Queen of Scrap”: “I remember it as if it were yesterday”

Tony Ramos77, is thrilled with the return of “Queen of Scrap“, which premieres this Monday (3), on “Worth Seeing Again“. In the 1990 soap opera, the actor played Eduwho marries Maria do Carmo (Regina Duarte) and is secretly loved by his stepmother, Laurinha Figueroa (Glória Menezes). In the material released by Globo, he told details about the plot, which portrays the universe of the nouveau riche and the decadent elite of São Paulo,

“It’s always good to see a work again and be able to show a tremendously successful production like this one. From the beginning, I knew this work would be electrifying. For me, it was an immense joy. I remember it as if it were todayto start recording the scenes on Avenida Paulista. I remember my meeting with [o autor] Silvio de Abreu and with dear colleagues like Regina, Glória, the great Paulo Gracindothe late director Jorginho Fernando and so many others. It was remarkable. I lived a beautiful moment“, these.

For those who have never seen it or don’t remember it, Tony explains a little of the main core. “Edu’s relationships with Maria do Carmo and Laurinha were highlights of the plot, as there was an ambiguity in the connection with the stepmother and many confusions arose from these emotions. But there wasn’t, let’s say, a confusion of feelings. What there was, in fact, was an intense dispute, because Laurinha was an ambitious womanwho perceived the decline in his social condition. At the same time, she saw a young woman, with a lot of money, rising in that society. These conflicts and discomforts generated beautiful scenes. And building this dynamic with the two actresses was easy. Both are excellent artists, with very high performance and great humor”, he praises.

The actor also praises the direction of Jorge Fernandowhich . “Jorginho was a director who knew exactly what he wanted and, in addition, he had the so-called ‘moment of inspiration’. Regardless of what was written or what he had planned and studied, there were situations in which something in the scene awakened in him the desire to change the brand or the proposal of the scene. This was a very positive characteristic of him. As director, he was constant and restlessalways looking for new solutions. It was a wonderful partnership. I really miss this incredible professional, and I don’t just say that because of his work. Everything about Jorge was remarkable.”
