The protagonist of Terra e Paixão does not go until the end of the telenovela

The actor who grew up in front of the cameras, Johnny Massaro (pictured below, with Barbara Reese) finally gets the protagonist to call her prime time on Globo. The boy, who first appeared on television at the age of 13 in Floribella (2005), plays On Band, one of the main characters in Earth and passionto replace Travessia at nine o’clock.

In the plot of Walcyr Carrasco, Massaro lives the good guy Daniel, who falls in love with the heroine Aline (Barbara Reis) and feuds with his brother, Caio (Cauã Reymond). However, Daniel isn’t meant to be a traditional soap opera hero. So much so that the character should not arrive alive until the end of the series.

Nice – good?

Earth and Passion - Tony Ramos — Joao Miguel Jr/Globo

Terra e Paixão tells the story of the La Selva family, who became rich through agribusiness. Businessman Antonio La Silva (Tony Ramos, photo above) is the father of Caio and Daniel, but he does not get along with his children. The patriarch’s refusal ends up uniting the brothers, who have great love for each other. But brotherly love will be threatened when a feud begins over Allen.

While Kayo is described as a problematic character, due to his father’s strong disapproval, Daniel is presented as the typical good guy. Well-mannered, the boy begins the series in an effort to foster the reconciliation of the entire family, which is completely inappropriate.

However, Daniel’s righteousness in character must be validated throughout the plot. Johnny Massaro himself said in an interview On the F5 website, from Folha de S. Paulo, stated that the character’s image can change throughout the series and the boy reveals his flaws. Daniel, including him, has to die during the plot, which would mark a huge turning point.

Did you say too much?

Kawa Raymond and Johnny Massaro - Terra e Paixão — Joao Miguel Jr/Globo

In the interview, Johnny reveals that Daniel started the series in an effort to unite the whole family. However, the events will cause the boy to transform during the narrative. Finally, he released the “spoiler” when he said that a good guy shouldn’t have made it to the series finale alive.

“He’s dying… I don’t know, I can tell! I think he’s already gone.” [risos] Or did he not come out? Well anyway. And walk [Carrasco] He’s the king of riddles and nonsense, and I’m available to explain whatever could happen,” the lover released.

Kawa Remon - earth and passion — Joao Miguel Jr/Globo

Daniel’s potential death during Terra e Paixão would change the direction of Walcyr Carrasco’s series. After all, this opens the way for Kayo to advance in the fight for young Allen’s love. It is noteworthy that the young woman is also the object of passion of Jonatas (Paolo Lissa).

And that means that without Daniel on the way, Caio will rise to one of the good guys at Terra e Paixão. Exactly the kind Kawa Remon was trying to avoid. When called upon to work on the plot, the actor had been asked by the station’s direction to play a different character, as he was tired of playing the good guys in soap operas.

So much so that, at first, Cayo was sold as one of the main villains of Terra e Paixão. But if Daniel dies, the boy will become one of the good guys in the plot. Did they cheat Kawa?
