What mid-run changes do Brazilian scholars and a Globo author say audience feedback causes in a novela, and what limits do the sources put on those claims?
A Brazilian scholar (Bastos 2016) lists what Globo adjusts mid-run: run length, treatment of themes, character configuration and cast, guided by ratings and broadcaster research, and a web "chapter zero" tested one novela. Her broader claim, that Globo falls back on a simpler folk-tale structure when ratings drop, is explicitly her hypothesis. The Globo author Svartman says writing an open work gives topicality and imperfections, and that an author should not write to please. The sources describe practice and argument; none links one concrete change to a measured rating effect.
