A little less than a month ago, the second season of 'Passion of the Hawks' was released in the United States, generating great expectations among viewers who love this story since the first installment, which was a worldwide success.
To the surprise of many, the production of the soap opera managed to retain its six protagonists after almost 20 years (Mario Cimarro, Danna Garcia, Michel Brown, Natasha Klauss, Paola Rey and Juan Alfonso Baptista). However, not all of the original cast managed to be part of the new production.
For example, many have missed 'Panchita' López, collaborator of the Alcalá bar that was played by actress Andrea Villareal, who despite having been in the folder of 'Passion of Gavilanes 2', would not have been chosen because she now looks very thin.
This is what Zharick León, Rosario Montes, commented on the soap opera, during an interview he gave exclusively to People en Español.
It is worth mentioning that now the actress Constanza Hernández is in charge of giving life to 'Panchita' López and, although the professionalism of her new set partner stands out, León did not hesitate to express his nostalgia for not having been able to share with Andrea Villareal again.
“I was sad [that I wasn't there] because our relationship was very cordial. Since she was new both in the field and professionally, as I helped her, supported her, cared for her and a beautiful bond was generated there, a love [...], but the new one is a charming woman with a strength, with a passion. She honors the phrase that surrounds us all in this project and it is passion, with a liveliness and a grace. She is wonderful and a very, very talented woman with whom a very beautiful, very beautiful friendship has also been born”, he concluded.
Jorge Cao, in charge of giving life to the endearing Martín Acevedo (grandfather of the Elizondo sisters), chose to give up Telemundo's proposal to him, despite the fact that his character was fundamental in the story and quite applauded behind the scenes.
While Lady Noriega, the woman who played the singer 'Pepita Ronderos', revealed that she was not considered for the sequel, even in the musical part, as it is key to remember that she performed the main songs of the hit first season.
Actor Andrés Felipe Martínez, known for his character as Malcom Ríos, also reported from his Instagram that the production never called him and understood that this butler was no longer important in the new story.
