Marido en Alquiler is a Spanish-language telenovela that premiered on Telemundo on July 10, 2013. Produced by Telemundo Studios, the show featured a total of 151 episodes, airing its final episode on January 13, 2014. The story centers around a strong, independent woman named Griselda Carrasco (played by Mexican actress Sandra EcheverrÃa), who works as a handywoman to support her three children and her sick mother. She is known as the "Marido en Alquiler" (Husband for Rent) in her Miami neighborhood, as she takes on traditional male tasks like fixing plumbing and electrical problems in people's homes. As the show opens, Griselda's estranged husband, Reinaldo Ibarra (played by Miguel Varoni), returns to Miami after disappearing for several years and leaving his family behind. He is now a successful businessman, but he also has a hidden past that threatens to ruin Griselda's life. Reinaldo's return complicates Griselda's budding romance with a wealthy Cuban-American man named Antonio (played by Juan Soler), who is struggling to come to terms with his own past and his feelings for Griselda. Throughout the course of the show, Griselda must navigate a variety of challenges, from financial struggles to personal betrayals and romantic entanglements. Along the way, she is supported by her loyal friends and family members, including her best friend, Juana (played by Maritza Bustamante), and her mother, Teresa (played by Zully Montero). The show also features a number of dramatic subplots and supporting characters, including a scheming ex-girlfriend of Antonio's, a vengeful business rival of Reinaldo's, and a troubled young woman who Griselda tries to help get her life back on track. At its core, Marido en Alquiler is a story about the strength and resilience of a mother who will do whatever it takes to provide for her family and protect the people she loves. It deals with themes of love, loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle to overcome adversity in a world that can often be cruel and unforgiving. The show was well-received by audiences and critics alike, winning several awards during its run, including a Premio Tu Mundo for Best Novela in 2013. It also launched the career of Sandra EcheverrÃa, who has gone on to become a well-respected actress in both Spanish-language and English-language productions. Overall, Marido en Alquiler is a compelling and emotionally resonant telenovela that offers a vivid portrait of life in contemporary Miami, and the challenges faced by those who must navigate the complex social and economic realities of the city.
