Who is Marlene Calderón in ‘Ellas Soy Yo’?

• Is Gladys in Ellas Soy Yo Marlene Calderón?
• 30 episodes are streaming now.
• Real names aren’t used in the series.

The series Ellas Soy Yo, Gloria Trevi, which is available for streaming, has been a huge hit since its launch in August.

Viewers can enjoy watching 30 episodes that are currently online. The Mexican singer has finally decided to share her story.

One of the most prominent characters on the show is Marlene Calderón, who was a backup singer for La Trevi. She also had a child with Sergio Andrade.

In several interviews, Aline Hernández stated that she brought Marlene to work with the Trevi Andrade clan without imagining what would happen later.

Who are the characters in the hit bioseries?

It’s worth noting that Gloria Trevi did not use many people’s real names in the series.

For this reason, viewers find it challenging to identify who’s who because so many fictional names are used.

It was initially believed that the character Gladys, played by actress Evelin Álvarez, is the singer’s childhood friend.

She decided to study at music producer Sergio Andrade’s school. She met him when he traveled to Monterrey, Nuevo León.

Who is Gladys in Ellas Soy Yo?

However, Gladys’ character is not Gloria Trevi’s childhood friend but, in fact, she’s Marlene Calderón.

According to La Razón, the series reveals the moment when Gladys was first raped by Sergio Andrade.

The producer made the young woman view this as ‘normal.’ He also asked her to spy on the singer.

Andrade wanted to ensure, through Marlene, that Gloria Trevi was not interested in any man other than him.

Confirmation of Gladys’ true identity

In case there is any doubt that Gladys is actually Marlene Calderón, there is a scene in the series that confirms it.

It is the recreation of a performance that the Doctor Psiquiatra singer gave in real life.

In the Ellas Soy Yo version, the singer from Monterrey introduced her three backup singers: Gladys, Alicia and Rita.

However, on that date, Gloria was only with two backup singers: Mary Boquitas and Marlene Calderón.

Marlene Calderón’s career and challenges

After the Trevi Andrade clan scandal broke, Marlene Calderón withdrew from the public eye.

There is very little information about her on social media, although it is known that she was born in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.

At the age of 13, she was already a singer in her hometown, and in an interview with Adela Micha, she confirmed that Aline Hernández invited her to work with Gloria Trevi.

Unfortunately, she spent nine months in a state penitentiary. Karina Yapor’s testimony was crucial in regaining her freedom.

An absurd contract

On the other hand, Ellas Soy Yo also shows other absurd situations that Gloria Trevi experienced with Sergio Andrade.

Many may not remember that, at the height of her career, the singer signed a 93-year contract with the music producer.

After signing this document, the singer committed to do everything Andrade told her and whenever he wanted, according to La Razón.

Fortunately, this contract was voided when both of them were released from prison. To this day, La Trevi continues to enjoy a successful career.
