‘La que se avecina’ is about to lose Javier Maroto, one of its most veteran characters. After the broadcast of its eleventh season, Antonio Pagudo, the actor in charge of embodying this computer scientist in trouble, will stop appearing in Telecinco’s star comedy. The reason? This was the explanation that Alberto Caballero, creator of the series, gave us: “At the end of each season the actors usually tell us if they are continuing or not, but he warned us later and it was more painful because we had already written chapters of season 12 “.
The real reason is that Pagudo will star ‘Benidorm’, the new comedy by Antenna 3.
The series has just started its recordings and we have been able to see the actor with a look that has nothing to do with Javier Maroto from ‘LQSA’. In ‘Benidorm’, the interpreter he gets into the shoes of a Basque notary and it looks like this:
