About[]
Following the conclusion of Los Viajes de Guillermo, Rogelio declines to star in its sequel in favor of staying home with his baby daughter, Baby. His boredom leads to him attempting to co-opt Postpartum Depression and a feud with star and spokesperson, River Fields. Their chemistry has executives offering Rogelio a chance to finally make his dream of an American The Passions of Santos become reality. While he attempts to find another star (he courts Eva Longoria, who balks once they discover they're first cousins), Rogelio eventually agrees to court River for the part. After reworking the premise to make Brenda an actual independent character with depth (and the star alongside Santos), River agrees to be a part of the project and they begin pre-production.
