Daniel Oliveira decided to make drastic changes to the TV series “Port T” due to poor ratings. The director of the SIC program decided to “copy” the successful formula of Christina Ferreira in her series “Festa é Festa”.
Mia and Afonso’s love story will be left in the background and there will be more focus on the characters of Dania Neto (Armanda), Joao Baptista (To Calhao), Fernando Luis (Miguel), Bruno Cabrizo (Giuseppe and Father Orlando) and Alexandra Lancaster (Isabel).
“He is not completely satisfied with the way things are going. First try in a more serious way, focusing more on the drama and mysteries that surround Brita Blanco (Renata). But Daniel did not like it … even because the climax of the audience spoke with the crazy stories of Alexandra Linkcaster, Dania Netto and their companions. So it is there now. It will be a series of laughter and madness‘, reveals a source from SIC to ‘TV Guia’ magazine.
So the recordings underwent many changes. “Alexandra and Dania, for example, who scored a little more than they used to, started having a fit of frenzy last week (…),” said one of the actors.
In this way, Daniel Oliveira bets more on humor, as in the most watched TV series currently in Portugal, “Festa é Festa”, from TVI, an original idea by Cristina Ferreira.
