Mexico City.- Pablo Valentn, performers of ‘Pedro’ in the comic series of Televisa Neighbors, I remembered how the beloved actor actor Ortn Polo, who gave life to the unique and unforgettable ‘Don Roque’ In history, he passed away shortly before the program was renewed for more seasons, something that made him very excited for the “great family” that the entire cast had formed that started the project in 2005.
As you may recall, after three successful installments of the series that aired from 2005 to 2008, Neighbors had his big comeback in 2017 with the fourth season. Unfortunately, the tragedy ‘struck’ Televisa and especially to the members of the production of said program because Polo I lost my life when suffering a heart attack in August 2016.

Amid the festive and nostalgic atmosphere due to the fact that the series has been on the air for 15 years, Pablo Valentn recalled that Polo Ortón, whom he greatly admired, was eager to return to history, so the news that Neighbors was renewed was “bittersweet” for him.
It was bittersweet, to be honest, because on the one hand it was very beautiful, but on the other hand it was sad because, among those of us who talked about hope that it would be done, with a tremendous illusion, there was my beloved Polo Ortn, and he had just died, “he shared. the actor in an interview for The stars.

Likewise, Pablo described how the producers they paid homage to the memory of Ortn in the first chapter of the fourth season. At the end of that episode, the image of ‘Rambo’, the plush bear that the character of ‘Don Roque’ used to talk to, and an audio was heard with Polo’s voice saying:
‘Rambo’, the truth is that without you this is not going to be the same “.

Mainly the producer Elas Solorio and the director Jorge Garza began to search among the chapters for an audio of Don Polo that would be ad hoc with that, precisely because now ‘Don Roque’ was no longer going to be in the series. All the public or a large part of the public knew that Polito had died, however, they did not want to handle it like that in Neighbors. They said that ‘Don Roque’ had gone to a town and that from there he would send me to ‘Rambo’, but since everyone was moved, then they saw fit to start the season by ending the first chapter with this audio and the image of ‘ Rambo ‘”.
In the fifth season, the character of ‘Pedro’ received a package with ‘Rambo’ and a letter where ‘Don Roque’ left him in charge of his faithful plush friend.
