According to information on "Fórmula espectacular," the writers of the telenovela are not happy that the actor constantly modifies the scripts written by Liliana Abud. The seasoned writer has given an ultimatum to producer Salvador Mejía, to choose between Levy or the writing team.

The news comes a day after William was not allowed access to the Televisa studios because he was accompanied by his underage nephew, according to the same show. It is Televisa's policy that a parent or guardian be present when a minor is in the studios. Since the actor did not give prior notice he was stopped at the entrance.

Levy, in turn, left the studios and did not return to work for the remainder of the day causing production delays. Reporter, Gabriel Cuevas, mentioned that officials brought in a notary to take notice of the action.

To add more fuel to the fire, the writers have presented different scenarios to the production on how William Levy can be replaced.

One option is to promote Iván Sánchez into the lead role. The Spanish actor is currently playing the villain, so the writing team will have to get creative in the way they reform his character.

A second option is swapping out actors. Rumors have circulated that they have thought of Sebastián Rulli to take over the "Captain Fabre" character.

The drama occurring behind the scenes seems to be more exciting that what viewers are seeing on television. "La Tempestad" is living up to its name and has been a headache since it launched to low ratings and bad reviews.
