Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
La Usurpadora (English: The Usurper; international title: Deceptions) is a 1998 Mexican television drama series broadcast by Canal de Las Estrellas. The series is based of the 1971 Venezuelan drama series with the same title. Directed by Beatriz Sheridan, it stars Gabriela Spanic and Fernando Colunga. It aired from February 9 to July 24, 1998, replacing Maria Isabel and was replaced by El Privilegio de Amar. Inspired by the book The Scapegoat, it revolves around a pair of twin sisters who were separated when they were young, and as adults the good sister is forced to act as a "replacement" for her wealthy twin who wants to temporarily leave her husband and his family to enjoy a life of luxury with multiple lovers. The telenovela had huge success in Mexico with ratings of 38.4 and has been exported and dubbed in various languages across the world. It was the first on-screen collaboration between Colunga and Spanic, who both later worked in Soy tu Dueña. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
