This foto gallery is a historical perspective of the main character in the TERESA telenovela.
Although primarily about Teresa herself, other characters and events are included. If you have suggestions or other input, please post a comment.
This montage is a work in progress. New photos will be periodically uploaded as we make our way to the Grand Finale. If you have photos you would like me to add to the montage, you can email them to me at SharkByte34@gmail.com.
The idea for this montage started in the Teresa discussion group on the Caray, Caray blog. The group noticed the gradual transformation of the Teresa character over the course of the novela. They thought it would be interesting to see a progression of photos from the start of the show to the current episode.
P.S. - You will notice the quality of many pictures are low resolution. If you know where I can find hi-resolution copies, please let me know.

Fernando is upset about legal issues with Oriana.
He's afraid he will lose his inheritance completely.
Teresa says he may be able to "keep" some of his companies.
She explains that if he were to sign these companies over to “someone else”, then he wouldn’t be able to hand them over to his mother because they wouldn’t be his.
Ruben and Geno decide they need to get revenge on those who have hurt them.
Teresa is at the top of their list.
Teresa has the asset transfer documents ready for Fernando to sign.

Fernando hesitates allegedly because what is happening with his mother is hurtful.
Teresa comforts Fernando.
After all, it's so great that he can "trust" her.

Fernando relents and signs the documents.
Teresa gives Fernando a coniving, evil, shark look.
Teresa drops in at Oriana's swanky hotel and breezes into her suite.
Teresa gives Oriana one last chance to accept her as her daughter-in-law.
Oriana predictably scoffs and says she'd rather be dead.

The next day, Ruben sneaks around incognito at the mansion.
He slips into the mansion while the maid is taking out the trash.
Teresa talks with a licenciado about selling the companies that have recently been put in her name.

Ruben ties Teresa to the upstairs railing.
He holds her cell phone to her and wants her to call Fernando.
Fernando doesn't answer.
Teresa leaves him a message.
Ruben says Teresa has driven him to this.
She is to blame for Mayra discovering his fraud, for him losing Esperanza, even losing his notaria!
He will make Teresa sign some checks in the meantime and goes to get her purse.
Just then, Arturo comes in and SMACK he pops Ruben in the face.
Arturo tries to force the gun from Ruben.
They scuffle and Ruben escapes up the stairs.
Arturo and Ruben continue to fight upstairs.
The police arrive and hold Ruben at gun point.
After the ordeal, Arturo walks Teresa down the stairs as the police are asking Ruben the whereabouts of Rodrigo.
Ruben is defiant and Teresa tells him he's going back to jail FOREVER!
Arturo and Teresa bring little Rodrigo back to Esperanza and Hernan.
At the hospital, Fernando tells Teresa about Oriana's condition.
Teresa suggests they postpone the wedding.
Of course it's only out of concern for Oriana.
And they'll see to Oriana's care.
Fernando appreciates Teresa's "concern", as she hugs him wearing a Cheshire-shark grin.
Teresa contemplates her next move.
Teresa runs into Aida. She fills her in on everything Ruben did. He's currently being booked at the jail!
Teresa says which is worse, Teresa, poor with a mechanic for a dad, or Aida, with a dad who is a criminal and murderer?
Teresa warned Aida she would pay for humiliating her.
Teresa wonders how Aida will explain her situation to her high society friends!
Aida is distraught.
Teresa drops into Oriana's hospital room for a visit, wearing a sarcastic smile.
Teresa reminds Oriana how she harassed Teresa when she was injured and paralyzed from her gunshot wounds.
Teresa sarcastically says she's "sorry" she didn't get the chance to tell Oriana that Fernando gave her half of his businesses. She knows just what to do with them.
Teresa tells Oriana not to worry, she'll bring Oriana back to her house where she'll be sure to "take care" of her.
Oriana is horrified!
A couple of weeks have passed. A reporter from a magazine in Spain has arrived to interview Teresa, as her marriage to Fernando is big news.
The reporter asks Teresa about her parents and assumes they are of similar lineage to Fernando's.
With condescension, Teresa looks over at Refugio and Juana, who are visiting.
Teresa hesitates for a moment, unsure how to respond.
Teresa then says, yes that's correct, but her parents both died a long time ago.
Refugio is stunned and hurt. She hastily leaves.
Juana approaches Teresa, but Teresa cuts her off. The reporter knows something is awry.
Teresa tells the reporter that Juana is her nanny.
Juana is astonished and hurt, as she solemnly leaves.
Ruben is in jail, when one of Fito's friends wants revenge. He found out Ruben was involved in Fito's killing.
Things are heating up between Lucia and Arturo.
The licenciado has sold the businesses formerly owned by Fernando, which are now in Teresa's name.
He presents her with a certified check.
Teresa looks over the check.
It's for 300 million dollars!!
Teresa can't believe it!
WHOOP-EEEE!!!!
Teresa prances around in delight!
Teresa cheers, "I'M A MILLIONAIRE!!" as she throws a plant into the air.
She grabs the check and hugs and kisses it.
Meanwhile, Refugio and Juana are in tears at Teresa's betrayal.
They are realizing what a disgrace Teresa is. Refugio says Teresa is truly mala.
Fernando amorously greets Teresa. He's happy they are finally getting married.
But Teresa coldly rejects him. She bluntly says she is NOT marrying him, because she doesn't love him!
Fernando can't believe it! There are reporters there to interview them because they are getting married.
She doesn't care what she tells them, but she's not marrying him!
He tries to force himself on her, but she fights him off.
She screams for him to get out of HER house and NEVER come back!!
Fernando refuses to leave.
She screams that he must leave now or she will call the police!!
He says his mom was right about her. Teresa snarls that at least Oriana got her way, she's not marrying him!
Fernando says she is pure evil as he solemnly leaves.
Teresa climbs the stairs and seems to be looking over her kingdom.
Her voice echos as we hear her triumphantly say her mantra...
...“Ser ó no ser, yo soy!”
