El Fantasma de Elena (Elena's Ghost) is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by the American television network Telemundo. It is a remake of the 1983 Venezuelan telenovela Julia. The telenovela ran for 117 episodes from July 20, 2010 to January 7, 2011. It was broadcast with English translation subtitles in CC3.
It stars Elizabeth Gutiérrez and Segundo Cernadas as protagonists and Ana Layevska as the main antagonist in a double role (Elena and Daniela).
Plot Elena Lafé (Elizabeth Gutiérrez) is a young, beautiful, and talented horse rider. She and her widowed father, Tomás (Braulio Castillo), manage a small but excellent hotel on the Key West ocean shore. Raised in her father’s shadow and kept away from the maternal side of her family, Elena has never known true love. That is until she finds Eduardo Girón (Segundo Cernadas), a widower, unconscious in the middle of the forest. She takes him to her father's hotel and falls hopelessly in love with Eduardo as she nurses him back to health.
The rich, young businessman reciprocates her love and they marry in an impromptu ceremony on the beach. Elena Lafé and her best friend Laura (Wanda D'Isidoro) move into Eduardo’s mansion, where he lives with several family members and household staff. The new bride is not given the warmest of welcomes by Eduardo's relatives. Her unease turns to terror when she keeps hearing screams and moans from the mansion’s tower.
Elena Lafé sees a photograph of Eduardo’s deceased wife, also named Elena. Elena Lafé learns from Corina (Maritza Bustamante) about the relationship Eduardo had with Elena Calcaño (Ana Layevska), who committed suicide. Elena Calcaño had a twin sister, Daniela (also played by Ana Layevska), who went mad after Elena Calcaño's death. Elena Lafé also discovers that her husband and his brothers belong to a mythical race that hides many secrets and conspiracies.
Elena Lafé becomes involved in a series of supernatural and personal conflicts involving a ghost, a witch, Eduardo’s half-brother, and a twin sister who intends to kill her. As she investigates the events surrounding her, Elena uncovers secrets about her family and her past, eventually learning the truth behind the ghost known as Elena’s Ghost.
