Silvana Arias

Silvana Arias as Paloma Lopez-Fitzgerald

Telemundo telenovela star Silvana Arias plays Paloma Lopez-Fitzgerald, the youngest child of Martin and Pilar. Paloma is fiery, stormy and emotional, even more of a spitfire than her older sister, Theresa! The character of Paloma is fully bilingual, as is Silvana, and the character plays out scenes in both English and Spanish.

Arias' hiring marked the first time that talent from a Telemundo telenovela filled a contract role on an NBC daytime drama.

Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Arias followed in the footsteps of her father, classic theater actor Nelson Arias, by performing in Peru's popular telenovela "Maria Emilia" as 'Susanita Pena' when she was a teenager. Her family moved to Miami, Florida from Peru when Arias was offered the role of 'Jimena Arismendi' in the telenovela "Gata Salvaje." Her career soared from there; she landed roles on the popular novelas "Pobre Diabla" and "Soledad" and the English language series "Karen Sisco," before landing the role of 'Coni' on "Amor Descardero" for Telemundo.

Arias is fluent in Spanish, Portuguese and English and has a love for all things fashion. She graduated from fashion design college in Peru, and when she's not acting can be found poring through books on fashion history, design and costuming. She also enjoys American films and loves to go to the movies. Arias relocated to Los Angeles from Miami for her role on PASSIONS. Her birthday is April 7.
