Caray, Caray!

The Medina-Fernandez family thought they had it all but their happiness was not meant to be (yet)...

At the head of this grand family is Hortensia Medina (Nuria Bages), who had three wonderful and successful children: Ricardo (Eduardo Shacklett), Julio (Marcelo Cordoba), and Margarita (Sachi Tamashiro).

Hortensia is a nightmare. She criticizes everything, hates everything and finds nothing is done right unless she has stepped all over it, made people feel bad and then done it herself.

Ricardo is married Kary Fernandez (Lupita Jones) and they have two beautiful daughters: Fabiola (Esmeralda Pimentel) and Andrea (Claudia Martin).


Fabiola is currently in a long-term relationship with Francisco (Gonzalo Pena), a dashing young man who is studying to be a doctor but has little time for her. While Andrea…well…we don’t know too much about her yet.

They have one servant, Juana (Marisol Del Olmo), who has cared for them since they were young and has grown to love them like their own even though she has a son, Ramon (Jose Ron), who is currently in Tijuana working odd jobs until his future boss gets his mechanic shop off the ground.

Julio is married to Virginia (Lisset) and they have two handsome sons: Julio (Pierre Louis) and Osvaldo (Ivan Amozurrutia). From what we know, Julio is the nicer and friendlier of the two while Osvaldo is more reserved and unpleasant of the two. Julio works at a bank but may be in deeper trouble than he led on, as the Department of Justice seems to be investigating the bank’s increasing debts.

Margarita is unmarried and lives at home with Hortensia.

Katy Fernandez has a brother, Antonio (Arturo Carmona), who owns a mechanic shop 50-50 with Ricardo. He employs plenty of mechanics but, thus far, only two seem important to our tale: Lucho (Jorge Ortin) and Raul (Alfredo Gatica).

While Lucho is hardworking and helpful, Raul seems to be a flirt who would rather spend his time romancing the shop’s secretary, Dalia (Ana Jimena Villanueva), than actually working. Dalia is the daughter of Luisa (Barbara Torres), who works as a servant in Julio and Virginia’s home.

Antonio’s time is split between the shop and family, which is currently fractured since Roxana (Luz Elena Gonzalez) and he split, leaving their son, Diego (Diego Escalona), in emotional limbo for the time being. Roxana did something that has caused the Medina family to give her the cold shoulder, except Virginia, who seems content with staying out of the matter completely and be friends with Roxana despite Julio’s reservations.

All of them came together at Fabiola and Andrea’s house to welcome their parents back home from a three-week trip in Europe with a surprise party. Much to their shock and awe, the airplane in which their parents were traveling crashed and there were no survivors. The news spreads like wildfire.

As everyone scrambled to get their bearings and deal with the tragedy, the airplane offered to take care of any funeral arrangements and pay 100,000 to the victim’s family per victim. Pedro (Carlos Bracho), the family lawyer, will make sure that everything is in order so the Medina sisters receive the money that will help them, for the time being.

Andrea, who is at first catatonic at the news, begins to cry and eventually loses her ability to speak from the stress and shock of her parent’s death. While Francisco can’t find a solution, he suggests she see a neurophysiologist but Andrea does not want to seek treatment for now.

Unknownst to all of them, Ramon becomes entwined with a crime lord’s daughter, Sofia (Fabiola Guajardo), when she runs out of her arranged marriage to her long time boyfriend, Timoteo, and into Ramon’s waiting limousine. Despite the fact that her father, Rosendo “El Bocanegra” (Benny Ibarra) will be looking for them to exact his revenge, Ramon offers to help the girl and the two of them get rid of the limo, since Rosendo will be looking for them, and ride into their destiny on a motorcycle.

Juana’s life is about to get a lot harder too because of three words: life insurance policy. Turns out the Medina parents left their daughters the apartment, the 50% of the mechanic shop, $35,000 in a bank account as well as the airline compensation money. However, the Medinas also obtained a life insurance policy, secretly, and named Juana the sole beneficiary of 1 million dollars, much to everyone’s surprise.

While Julio, who has investment experience, thinks he should manage the money, Hortensia thinks she should as the head of household. Fabiola thinks she should manage it, as she’s over 18, but she has been more of a money waster than earner through her many years of life. Hortensia rips the insurance policy but Pedro reminds her that it won’t change anything.

Seeing that the whole family now hates her or is, at the very least, annoyed by her presence because of the current situation, Juana decides to leave the house for good but refuses to turn over the 1 million dollars as the Medinas left that money to her and only she will decide what to do with it…
