The author fired by Globo lives like a king in Lisbon and prepares ‘bomba’

Life, perhaps, begins at 80. In June, Aguinaldo Silva will turn eighty. The term austere does not correspond to the playwright’s vigor. From what he shows and reports on Instagram, he’s enjoying a vibrant and productive phase.

With homes in Rio and São Paulo, he spends time in Portugal, where he also owns a property. From there, he travels to other European countries. Share some moments on social networks.

A lover of gastronomy, Aguinaldo loves to showcase the dishes he consumes. At Easter, he goat. Hallelujah Saturday was calamari. Days before, cod, grilled and pork tenderloins. Photos stimulate the throat in followers.

In Lisbon he receives friends who gave life to the characters he created, such as Betty Faria, Susana Vieira and Marília Gabriela. Free days are taken up with sightseeing and shopping. Even from afar, the writer keeps tabs on Brazilian news and makes mocking comments on Twitter.

At the moment, he works daily on his memoirs. One of the concluded chapters concerns the backstage of ‘Roque Santeiro’, one of the greatest successes in the history of Brazilian TV. The serial was shown by Globo between June 1985 and February 1986.

The plot with the extravagant widow Porcina (Regina Duarte) presents Aguinaldo’s characteristic style: humor and social criticism. Elements also seen in ‘Tieta’, ‘Vale Tudo’, ‘Pedra Sobre Pedra’, ‘Fina Estampa’ and other popular works signed by him.

Famous for his transparency and fearlessness in talking about everything and everyone, will he tell in detail what he saw and experienced behind the scenes of Globo? Will you name the enemies? The book about his life must be full of revelations and controversies. Assumed gay, he should also tell about intimacy.

The author was fired from Marinho family TV in 2020, after 40 years of collaboration. The surprising departure came after a troubled telenovela, ‘O Sétimo Guardião’, marred by allegations of plagiarism and gossip about the cast that overshadowed the Surrealist plot.

“First, I was shocked,” Silva said of the firing in an interview with Record. “I was a little hurt.” The dismissal was seen as retribution for the serial’s low audience and legal troubles with former students who said they co-authored the synopsis. Old internal feuds certainly contributed to his departure.

Recently, his name was mentioned backstage at Globo. There are those who are rooting for a return. His talent has escaped teledramaturgy. Aguinaldo’s last soap opera on the channel to score an average of 50 points on Ibope, ‘Senhora do Destino’, from 2004/2005.
