Victor González Takes on a Charming Role in “El Conde”
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to take you on a delightful journey through the glitzy world of soap operas, where the flair is gigantic, the drama is larger than life, and how many times can we possibly get betrayed in one story? Enter Víctor González, a chap who ambitiously steps into the shoes of Ricardo Sánchez in the scintillating series “El Conde”. This intriguing tale, set between the flapper era of the 20s and the glamorous 40s, is enough to make anyone want to don a feather boa and sip on a martini while plotting revenge—preferably in a completely illegal way, because who doesn’t love a bit of chaos?
Our Víctor, in an exclusive telephone interview—where it’s assumed he was at least wearing pants—shared insights about his character entangled in the web of injustice and betrayal involving Alejandro Gaitán, played by none other than Fernando Colunga. Now, if that name doesn’t ring a bell, I suggest you check your pulse. So, Alejandro ends up in the clink, and in the meantime, Ricardo is living it up, embodying the archetypal “life of the party.” What’s that expression? “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”
“The story focuses on a specific era, such as the 20s until 1940, at the same time changes occur and that is what we like… It is very interesting and fun to show how we are seeing Mexico from the perspective of the characters.”
Now, *let’s not beat around the bush*, Ricardo is painted as a charming scoundrel—a charismatic rapscallion who’s quick-witted and always ready to lend a hand… or perhaps just pick your pocket if the mood strikes. It’s a cheeky role that González evidently relishes, bringing us the perfect dose of fun and mischief. Almost makes me want to switch places with him… if only for the costumes—have you seen the hats from that era? To die for!
But wait, there’s more! The show isn’t a lonely venture—no, no, no! Joining Víctor is an ensemble of talents like Sergio Sendel, Chantal Andere, and others who all come together to create a cast so diverse it may just steal the spotlight and your heart (or at least, your remote control).
“I had a lot of fun with my colleagues… the costumes, the kitchen, everything. The truth is, for each one, the challenge was different.”
Diving deeper into the plot, we discover that “El Conde: Amor y Honor” is inspired by the timeless classic The Count of Monte Cristo—because what could be more uplifting than revenge served with a gourmet twist? Fernando Colunga, making his triumphant return, brings not just his looks but also his product privilege to the mix. I mean, if you’re going to embark on an epic quest for vengeance, it might as well come with a side of romantic turmoil and a sprinkle of existential dread, right?
The optics of the show are enchanting, promising to whisk viewers back into a time when betrayal ran rampant and lives changed dramatically with a snap of one’s fingers—always while donning a tuxedo, of course.
“Ricardo becomes an ally of Alejandro after the burning of a bar… a mysterious monk… who later becomes the Count of Montenegro.”
So if you’re in the mood for some historical drama—perhaps while contemplating your own revenge fantasies—tune into “El Conde” airing on Unicable at 7:50 PM. Grab your popcorn, kick back, and enjoy the show! Remember, in every betrayal lies a chance for redemption; unless, of course, it’s a soap opera, then it’s just Tuesday.
And just like that, dear readers, we wrap up our chat on “El Conde,” with the hopes of not being betrayed while we wait for the next episode. Stay sharp, stay observant, and most importantly, keep those remote controls handy!
