Salomé

Fernanda "Salomé" is a dramatic telenovela centered on a woman whose life turns into a maze of love, betrayal and power struggles. Fernanda, played by Edith González, becomes entangled with Julio, portrayed by Guy Ecker, and their relationship sets off conflicts that reach into both families and the wider social circle. The story unfolds through romantic tension, hidden motives and shifting alliances, with strong antagonists and secrets that complicate loyalties. Scenes alternate between intimate confrontations and broader schemes, keeping personal stakes high without revealing the show’s later twists or final resolutions.

Salomé aired in Mexico from October 22, 2001 until May 17, 2002. It was directed by Sergio Jiménez and created by Ramón Ortiz Quiñones and Marcia del Río. The production featured a cast led by Edith González and Guy Ecker, with notable performances from María Rubio, Sebastian Ligarde and Aarón Hernán.

Critical and audience reaction leaned positive in fan circles, reflected by an average rating of 7.043 out of 10 from 138 votes. Reviewers tended to highlight strong performances and traditional telenovela plotting, while some noted uneven pacing across episodes. Key themes include obsession and revenge, the collision of personal desire with social expectation, and how power and family legacy shape choices. The show balances melodrama with moments that focus on character psychology rather than spectacle.

While Salomé didn’t rack up widely reported international prizes, it did attract attention within the Mexican television scene during its run. Edith González’s portrayal of Fernanda strengthened her profile in melodramatic roles, and María Rubio’s Lucrecia added a memorable antagonistic presence. The series is often recalled by viewers who followed early 2000s telenovelas, and it still comes up in discussions about that era’s popular Mexican TV dramas.
