I don’t really like Yanes no more, the last 2 novelas that he has made aunque no las eh mirado completas no me a gustado su actuacion. Por echo no, la verdad no me gustaria que el sea el galan sorry. Eduardo was good Palomo (RIP). I can’t think of a good actor in televisa that can take that role right now…..

NOT ANOTHER REMAKE…I GUESS TELEVISA IS IN NEED OF NEW WRITERS. FYI THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF “CORAZON SALVAJE” WAS NOT DONE WITH EDUARDO PALOMO THAT WAS ALSO A REMAKE.

We know that, but the original was like back in the 60’s or 70’s Who watch it? I wasnt even born yet. So the one with Palomo was our “original version” por que fue de nuestra epoca bueno @ least de la mia.

Good lord NO! He hasn’t got the acting chops to do it justice and is fool for setting himself up to be compared badly to Palomo.

I think that no one will ever make Juan del Diablo better as Palomo, he was, is and will be the only one whom will suits Juan del Diablo… maybe Fernando Colunga could be alittle bit better than Eduardo Yañez based on his character, yet anyways Corazon Salvaje’s character of Juan del diablo (Eduardo Palomo) and Monica (Edith Gonzales) are unique

please, don’t yanez… este hombre esta muy viejo…..eduardo palomo is irreplaceable….the only actor i think would be able to do some sort of justive for the new remake would be fernando colunga because he has some resemblance to eduardo palomo, but he to is getting viejo….i don’t think i remake should be made, period! but if salvador meija is so stubborn and wants 2 do it, then put new people, or new talent. maybe mark tacher or even aaron diaz….BUT NOT EDUARDO YANEZ!

No way, there will never be another actor that can bring Juan del Diablo to life like Eduardo Palomo did. I say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. I just saw the whole novela on DVD some months back, and if it was aired on t.v. I’d surely watch it again. Loved it. I’m sorry for the Yañez’ fans, but he is not good looking at all. A Eduardo Palomo no le llegua ni a los talones, y a Juan del Diablo ni a los juantes!!!!

I loved the Corazon Salvaje with Edith Gonzalez y Eduardo Palomo. But I think we should give a chance for this generation to fall in love with the remake of Corazon Salvaje. I agree I don’t think Eduardo Yanez should be Juan del Diablo is too old for the role, and if they plan on remaking it, making it with people that will have chops to pull that story, cause if not it will be a complete failure, and I love Corazon Salvaje.

after you see eduardo palomo playing the role of juan del diablo its impossible to imagine anyone playing that part again, he’s so perfect and professional and so dedicated to that role, that no way any other actor will satisfy us audience in playing the part, but if the producers insists on doing the remake no matter what i think i would at least rather see fernando colunga trying to do the part but not eduardo yanez his too old. and a small advice to the actor who will be playing the part since the audience of corazon salvaje already sees jaun del diablo in eduardo palomo and fell in love with him, it will be a hell of a job for the second actor to satisfy the audience, it will be a very tough job and still i prefer the original version of corazon salvaje.

no no no eduardo yanes again!!!! hes not even a good actor or good looking and i hate it when they make remakes of novelas why dont they just re-run them, televisa seriously needs some new writters. for the last couple of years the novelas have been really boring (except for ruby,pasion, and querida enemiga those were the best) like that new novela en nombre del amor why did they remake it, the old version was really really really good and the worst part of that novela is that allisson lozz is going to be the main one, she is the worst actress in novelas history, she totally overacts

I read many many time this novel, and when Eduardo played the role of Juan del Diablo and did it very well, I always though that Yañez can be the one who was fitting perfectly with the personage of Juan according to the novel

Eduardo Yanez has years of experience assuming the protoganist role, but I just don’t think his acting style fits this particular role. He is way too smily and hyper, and Juan was someone completely opposite to that. He was an intriguing man full of wit and rebellious causes. Its a difficult role to fulfill because it takes someone who brings adventure, mystery, and intrigue to the stage. Truthfully I dont even think Colunga has that, his style is too romantic and has been overused in the past novelas. Palomo did an exceptional job, and its going to take someone with such talent to bring Juan del Diablo back alive to the same status that he did. (maybe sebastian rulli and thats still pushing it)

Yo si creo que EDUARDO YANES seria el mejor para ese papel. Es lindisimo y bien hombraso. Siempre me ha gustado. No me pierdo ninguna de sus novelas. Y no esta viejo como dicen todavia se ve muy joven el tiene una cara bella. Y eso es mentira que el no es romantico. Porque siempre aunque es un poco machote en las novelas me encanta que siempre es de una sola mujer y es muy romantico!!!! Si el es el protagonista no me la pierdo. Por favor que si sea YANES!!! Colunga tambien me gusta como artista y es bien tiposo. Pero mi hombraso es EDUARDO YANES!!!!!!!!!

Not Yanes!!! The Eduardo Palomo version is a classic and might never be surparsed..great acting skills there!!! And maybe a remake would be great especially with today’s special effects but I agree a fresher face would be way better than Yanes…besides i think the role calls for a younger man with great acting skills!!!!Sorry but no one can replace Palomo…

I’ve been in turmoil since I found out about this. On one side I love the story of Corazon Salvaje … on the other how on earth will I be able to watch it and not see Eduardo Palomo?!? Corazon Salvaje was the first novela I ever saw and Palomo was the first guy I ever had a crush on. He represented all the adventure, romanticism and sheer pasion women usually look for. He was not conventionally handsome but he was intriguing. he pulled you in. Add to this great acting chops and a great script and you have magic.
I know Corazon Salvaje wasn’t the original but it’s a landmark of the telenovela industry. At the same time it stirred clear of all the kitch that sometimes goes along with novelas: blindness, loss of memory. twins etc …
But this new production seems to embrace all those things … Between Yanez, which is not bad looking and a decent actor, whose whole thing is basically that he’s a latino macho and the recent rumours of Araceli Arambula ( and I’m sorry but she will never be Edith Gonzales’s equal as acting goes) playing double role as both Monica and Animee … I’ll tell you the truth, I’m scared!!!!
The thing is: Corazon Salvaje is as watchable today as it was in 93 when I saw it first. And what makes it enduring is that they really picked atypical actors for the latino market ( by that I mean that most actors in that production did not overact) and produced an excelent script, deprived of the over sentimentality that more often then not creeps its was into novelas.
I wonder if we’ll be able to say the same thing about the new production. i hope so but I doubt it!

For all those stupid women who think Palomo has been the only Juan del Diablo, think again, I have seen it several times with different leads. This novel is a classic and should be made over and over so all generations can enjoy it like I have and yes Eduardo Yanez who looks amazing and is a wonderful actor will probably make an awesome Juan del Diablo.
YES by all means make it again so all those stupid women realize what is meant by a CLASSIC

I can’t stand eduardo yanez!!!! I know for a fact that he will not be able to pull this part off as well as eduardo palomo did. Juan del diablo is a character that instill passion when you see him. i’ve seen the third interpretation so many times that it would be hard to imagine anyone else to play the part. But yanez is too old!! what is he, almost 50!! Juan’s character is 30 years old. Plus, hes not even good looking and is a horrible actor. Cabezon!!! Honestly they should get someone younger and leaner. If they use Yanez to play the part, I will definitely not be watching it. It will only ruin the impression i have of the 93′ version. I would rather they show the old one. But good luck to the actors, cuz it’s going to be hard to improve a classic as good as corazon salvaje. I really hope they recast the part of juan del diablo. Either way, eduardo palomo will always be my juan del diablo.

This is the 3rd (I think) remake of the “novela” and Palomo’s is the best, but it should be enjoyed by the “newer” generation. Would you believe when the first Corazon Salvaje was broadcasted it was in “black and white” and I learned how to speak Spanish while watching the most “sexiest” Juan, at that time, as my mother translated each “capitulo”. True, this new actor will not give it the “acting-value” as Palomo and it might put his acting career in jepordy but it will be a learning tool to other directors when picking actors will less qualifications for future projects or remakes. We learn by our mistakes.
Part of our “cultural” memories included our “novelas” and the older ones are the best even if they are always predictable but we must agree we do “love” these “corny” mini-movies. So let’s see what Yanez does with this remake and if we don’t like it thank God we still can obtain the originals. Hey, Corazon Salvaje is just one of the “old” classics, there are many more that should be “remade” for the enjoyment of the “newer” generation.

FOR EVERYBODYS INFORMATION! SO THAT EVERYONE KNOW THIS:
PALOMO’S WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL! THE ORIGINAL WAS BASED ON A 1956 FILM AND LATTER BECAME THE FIRST TELENOVELA IN 1966 MADE BY JULISSA AND ENRIQUE LIZALDE TWO OF THE MOST TALENTED ACTORS IN EL CINE MEXICANO. THE SECOND REMAKE WAS IN 1977 IN WHERE THE ACTRESS WAS ANGELICA MARIA AND MARTIN CORTEZ. AND FINALLY FOR SOME REASON THE THIRD REMAKE OF PALOMO IN 1993 WITH EDITH GONZALEZ. SO PLEASE DONT TRY TO GIVE THE CREDIT TO PALOMO. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT, AND CHECK YOUR HISTORY
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS ONE WILL BE THE 4TH REMAKE!!! SO IT WONT MATTER ANYWAY.
AND PLEASE..ALL YOU HATERS FOR YANEZ, GIVE THE MAN SOME CREDIT HE IS 50 YEARS OLD FOR GOD SAKE! YOU WISH YOU LOOK LIKE HIM AT 50!!!!!!!
I JUST WISH THEY PUT A BETTER ACTRESS THAT REALLY DESERVES THIS ROLE! ARACELI ARAMBULA????? HELLO???
WHY HER! TO START OFF SHE IS NO ACTRESS! SHE IS SOMEBODY BECAUSE OF HER TALENTED MOTHER IRMA LOZANO
I GUARANTEE YANEZ WILL STAND UP TO THE ROLE! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED HOWEVER THE FEMALE WAS THE WRONG CHOICE, I FEEL BAD FOR YANEZ… AND YES I WILL SEE IT FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND WHY NOT!

Many watch Yanez for his looks,he draws viewers! He is seasoned but to many women handsome. has a good body and can act. Aracely is a pretty girl but is not a polished actress ( she is no Edith Gonzalez) it may be she was chosen for her looks than her ability to “Wow” the viewers with her acting. It will be up to Yanez to pull this off and bring in the ratings if selected. Aracely will simply be in it for the ride,maybe learning how to act from Yanez in hopes of getting back into the novelas and such.
Corazon Salvaje is a classic and although I believe Yanez can pull this off, whatever develops in the new version will pale in comparison to Palomo’s version.

I don’t know if the people at Televisa have heard the saying ‘Si algo no esta roto, porque arreglarlo’, but in my opinion ‘Corazon Salvaje’ (1993) was/is the definition of the perfect telenovela and a remake of it is not needed. Eduardo Palomo, who I consider the best actor of his generation, did such a great job and to have Eduardo Yanez whos acting is so over the top (and btw too old for the role) is an insult to his memeory.

This is my favorite novela ever, I loved the cast of Palomo & Gonzales. It seems like Televisa has run out of creativity, I am not saying this because of Corazon Salvaje, but lately most of their series have been remakes from Colombia, or teenie boppers novelas..Of course this will have great ratings because of Yanez and the “return” or Araceli, but let’s hope they don’t thrash a great story.

My main concern is actually with Salvador Meija. His last few telenovelas have been, umm, sucky. I’m afraid he’ll ruin this classic.
Eduardo Yanez … umm … I don’t think he suits the role. His acting is over the top. He won’t make this version memorable as Palomo did for the 93′ version.
Araccely Arambula … urgh. Anyone but her! Not the wisest choice.
If I were Meija, I’d search for some new faces. There are plenty of unknown actors and actresses out there. And with great talents too!

Since this “revised” novela will be done why not think about actors Benecio Del Toro as Juan and Kate Del Castillo (she had worked with Palomo in other novelas). Benecio is a “method” actor and I know it will make Palomo proud of his efforts. Kate already has the experience not only with novelas but both actors have “crossed-over” to Anglo productions which might be an asset to this new generation. It might work as a “mini-series” and the “pirate/romance” aspect could draw in high ratings, males for the “macho” portion and females for the romance. It’s just a thought that might work, look at “Ugly Betty”. Even thought the “original” was great the “mini-series” has captured all types of viewers. Somthing to think about!!!!

The last person I’d like to see play another lead role is Yanez. Just because he looks good at 50 doesn’t mean he’s a good actor. He is definitely way too over the top and his acting, kind of sucks. Fuego en la Sangre was just ridiculous.
Fernando Colunga would definitely make a better Juan del Diablo. I mean look at his other fantastic novelas, especially the recent ones that have been set many many years back. He’s great in those roles, in all roles for that matter. He is a versatile actor. Doesn’t overdo it.
And Aracely Arambula? It’s been years since she’s even acted for a commercial, what is she doing starring in such a classic and timeless novela?
In my opinion, whether or not Palomo’s was the classic is not the real debate here, it’s how bad this one is going to be. It’s going to leave a bad aftertaste in our mouths, making us wish it wouldn’t have ever crossed any producer’s mind.
I’ve been watching novelas since I was 6!
So Just an opinion from a friendly novela fanatic!

I don’t think anyone can take Eduardo Palomo’s place in the soap corazon selvaje. He was unique and as a couple eduardo and edith were the best match. Especially their kisses and their lovemaking were so real and so full of passion that i don’t think any other actor can accomplish such a feeling. It was as though they had a love story going on between them at the time of the filming of this soap and that their feelings for each other were of a hungry love full of passion.
