Overview
- Actor Gustavo Bueno reappeared in the season finale, signaling his on-screen comeback to the América Televisión series.
- His niece, actress Marialola Arispe, said he is “more strong than ever” and declared “there’s Don Gilberto for a long time,” confirming his 2026 participation.
- El Comercio reports he was treated at the Rebagliati hospital for a vertebral fracture, underwent stabilization with screws and spinal cord decompression, and was discharged in September 2025.
- Spine specialist José Fonseca Briceño described the procedure as prolonged and delicate, and Bueno publicly thanked the EsSalud team after his recovery.
- The show had explained Don Gilberto’s 2025 absence with an urgent trip to Chalhuanca, and the production is now preparing to reintegrate the character fully in the new season.
