Esmeralda is a telenovela that was released by Televisa in 1997. It is a remake of a 1970 Venezuelan telenovela of that same name, and was itself remade in Brazil in 2004. Another version is Topacio from Venezuela in 1984. [edit] Plot SummaryA stormy night finds a country healer, Dominga (Raquel Olmedo), attending a difficult birth. The mother dies shortly after giving birth to a boy. Meanwhile, at the Casa Grande hacienda, Blanca de Velasco de Peñarreal (Raquel Morell), is also giving birth. Her husband, Don Rodolfo Peñarreal (Enrique Lizalde), waits anxiously outside her room, hoping the child will be a boy. Their doctor cannot reach the hacienda, because the storm has blown a tree across the road. The family sends for Dominga, who delivers the child. The child is a girl -- and apparently stillborn. Dominga, realizing the grief that this outcome will cause Don Rodolfo, tells Crisanta, the family's nanny, about the orphaned baby boy, and the two of them decide to swap the babies while Blanca is still unconscious. Crisanta gives Dominga Blanca's emerald earrings as a price for her silence. Dominga returns to her house with the lifeless baby girl in her arms. Shortly after, the girl begins to cry. Realizing that she has made a terrible mistake, Dominga resolves to raise the girl as her own. She names the girl Esmeralda, after the emerald earrings. Eighteen years later, the Peñarreals return to the Casa Grande after a stay in Mexico City. The boy born that night, José Armando Peñarreal (Fernando Colunga), is fully grown. Esmeralda (Leticia Calderón), who had been born blind, still lives in the countryside with Dominga. Shortly after, they meet, they fall in love -- much to the displeasure of Don Rodolfo. [edit] Cast
