MIAMI –April 20 2011 – Telemundo Studios in Miami announced today the start of production of “La Casa de al Lado” ("Behind Closed Doors"), a new primetime telenovela set to premiere this summer. Maritza Rodríguez, Gabriel Porras, Catherine Siachoque, Miguel Varoni, David Chocarro and Karla Monroig will bring to the screen a story full of suspense, where a mysterious death is the catalyst for intrigue between two families.

In “La Casa de al Lado,” each character keeps a secret that puts in doubt even the least suspicious, making it impossible to know who is lying and who is telling the truth, who is innocent and who is the villain, who is trustworthy or someone to fear.

Pilar Arismendi (Maritza Rodríguez), a sweet and charming young woman, is married to Javier Ruiz (Miguel Varoni), Gonzalo Ibáñez’s (Gabriel Porras) business partner. Gonzalo is a successful lawyer who meets Ignacia (Catherine Siachoque), Pilar and Javier’s neighbor, and the widow of Adolfo, a man who died under strange circumstances. Gonzalo proposes to Ignacia within a few months after Adolfo’s death. Following the wedding, the couple moves to the house next to Pilar and Javier, and it is there that Gonzalo starts uncovering many truths that, until then, were unknown to him. One of them is that the house is inhabited by Leonardo (David Chocarro), Adolfo’s twin brother.

With that revelation, Gonzalo begins to realize that nothing is as it seems in that house, and starts to discover layers of intrigue connected to that mysterious death, in which everyone around him is a possible suspect. The more he looks into the supposed “accident” that took Adolfo’s life, the more he realizes that everyone holds a very well-kept secret.

The cast of “La Casa de al Lado” includes renowned actors such as Felicia Mercado, Daniel Lugo, Ximena Duque, Alexandra Pomales, Gabriel Valenzuela, Vivian Ruiz, Héctor Fuentes, Sofía Lama, Rosalinda Rodríguez and Andrés Cotrino.
