Una bendición poder compartir con tanto talento. No solo los actores. Pero todo el crew. Me hicieron sentir en casa, algo que no es muy común cuando uno entra a un show con tantos años al aire. Solo demuestra la calidad de gente y la cultura que tienen gracias a los productores y creadores. A los fans. Gracias por todos sus mensajes. Ojalá les llegue la 6ta temporada, y ojalá podamos ver más de Xavier. #bendecido 🇸🇻
