Melani Olivares: Nieves Sanabria
Nieves steps into the role of Manolita’s first cousin, a wife to Ricardo and mother to Andrea. She is presented as a two-faced woman — more light than shadow — yet Manolita sees in her strength, courage, and admirable resolve, unaware of the darker truths Nieves conceals. Returning from Miami with her family, Nieves brings a shadowed past that she attempts to leave behind.
Jorge Bosch: Ricardo Rodríguez
Ricardo appears as a practical, straightforward man who keeps his feet on the ground and speaks plainly. He tends to improvise rather than plan, aiming to strike while the moment is right. He forms a tentative friendship with Marcelino, envisioning a future business partnership that ultimately never takes shape.
Adriana Ubani: Andrea Rodríguez
Andrea, daughter of Nieves and Ricardo, dreams of becoming a celebrated fashion designer. She possesses talent and imagination but is pushed toward economics by family duty, while longing to reconnect with Alberto Ramírez, the builder’s son and her former love. She resists her mother’s dominance and fights to keep her relationship with Ciriaco alive.
Daniel Cabrera: Ciriaco Gómez Sanabria
Ciriaco, Marcelino and Manolita’s son, is handsome with a hint of mischief. Although he dates Ana Mari, he finds himself drawn to Andrea. A grave incident lands him in jail, casting a cloud over his future and sparking a determined quest for Gómez’s defenders to scrutinize every clue. Manolita grapples with how well she truly knows her son and whether he could be capable of such a crime.
Ander Azurmendi: Samuel Lagares
Lagares cuts a dashing figure, using charm and luck to his advantage with women. His relationships often serve his practical ambitions, including Nieves, whose involvement with him is driven by purpose rather than affection.
Paula Iwasaki: María Barros, alias Carballo
María Barros steps into police work with resources, intelligence, and intuition. She investigates the peculiar disappearance of her father, Javier Barros, despite hesitation from Commissioner Luján, who still sees family ties in play. She becomes entangled in a charged dynamic with Jorge Reyes, navigating a complicated attraction as the truth behind many events remains elusive.
Carlos Serrano-Clark: Jorge Reyes
Jorge is María’s agency colleague who has long known the streets. His life is shaped by robberies and intimidation, with Luján using him as a conduit for information in exchange for favors. A recent request forces him to approach María Barros to learn more about her moves, setting the stage for a new, evolving attraction between them.
Antonio Durán: Morris Joaquín Luján
Morris, the long-time head of the Chamberí Police Station, has spent years weaving a web of influence that touches both elite circles and the criminal underworld. His priority is preserving status, yet María’s ongoing investigations threaten to uncover every hidden truth.
Adelfa Calvo: Doña Paz Guerrero
Doña Paz brings a feisty, outspoken presence as she launches a neighborhood pharmacy with her son Hugo. Her past includes a difficult marriage marked by contempt and infidelity, shaping a strong, resilient character who demands respect in her new venture.
Dani Muriel: Hugo Guerrero
Hugo, Paz’s son, once shone as a promising football talent whose career was derailed by a car accident. After a period of struggle with addiction, he seeks a fresh start in detox and, though his past remains tangled, he finds affection with Rocío as new relationships begin to form.
Pepa Rus: Rocío Morón
Rocío works in the neighborhood pharmacy and carries herself with a strength that defies long-standing judgments about beauty. After years of humiliation, she rises with a bold personality and a determined mind. She pursues a future in pharmacy, has a boyfriend named Restituto, and is on the verge of marriage when she discovers a growing connection with Hugo that complicates everything.
A trusted ally to Rodrigo, a close family friend who can’t resist political calculations, the character navigates a powerful alliance within API and beyond. He believes the party structure will protect him, though hidden secrets threaten to destabilize his world when the truth finally surfaces.
