[1] On Monday, February 26, 2001, Canal de las Estrellas started broadcasting Amigas y rivales weekdays at 7:00pm, replacing Primer amor, a mil por hora.

The last episode was broadcast on Friday, November 9, 2001 with El juego de la vida replacing it the following Monday.

It stars Michelle Vieth, Arath de la Torre, Angélica Vale, Johnny Lozada, Ludwika Paleta, Rodrigo Vidal, Adamari López and Gabriel Soto.

The first is Laura, a studious, sensitive, serious girl from a middle-class family; she studies data processing in a private university because she received a scholarship.

This dream takes her to the United States illegally, where she meets boxer Johnny Trinidad, who falls in love with her.

Don Roberto becomes determined to attract Laura, who unconsciously compares him with her own father, a man of weak character.

When Don Roberto discovers, thanks to Roxana's deceitful efforts to keep him, that Laura loves Robertito, he suffers a stroke.

She poisoned Don Roberto's first wife so he'd be free to marry her, but secretly desired her new stepson Robertito and killed his fiancée so she would have a chance with him.

At the friends' graduation party, Roxana appears with a group of armed men planning to take revenge on Jimena and Laura.

Ofelia and Ulises reunite the whole group Jimena, Nayeli, Tamara, Georgina, Robertito, Johnny, Ernesto, and Pepe at the end.
