Monday night promised to be a celebration for fans of the Cuban telenovela "Regreso al Corazón," but it ended up leaving a mix of emotions: love, tears, chaos, and disappointment.
The real-life partner of actor Delvys Fernández, who played Mariano, one of the most controversial characters in the television drama, proposed to him during the presentation of the final episode, held at Pabellón Cuba in Havana.
In the midst of the closing concert, in front of hundreds of people, Laura Hernández Rivero, the actor's partner, surprised Delvys with a proposal that sparked applause and emotion from the audience. It was an unexpected and profoundly romantic moment that will be etched in the memories of everyone present.
Love was also a key theme in this very special finale, experienced alongside the cast, the creators, and the fans who supported the project until its conclusion.
The actor and director Jorge Pedro, who will be the godfather of the wedding, was a direct witness to the emotional scene.
Chaos and discontent at the event
Despite the festive atmosphere, the day was marked by poor organization that overshadowed the anticipated performance.
Thousands of people packed into the Cuba Pavilion with the hope of watching the final episode on a big screen, but the event ended amid crowding, long lines, complaints about access, and unsafe conditions for families with children and the elderly.
Criticism surged on Facebook and X, where many attendees agreed that the event "could have been a celebration for the fans, but ended up being an avoidable chaos."
The massive finale of "Regreso al Corazón" reflects, on one hand, the popular enthusiasm that the telenovela inspired and the great reception of this television project, which deeply resonated with the audience. On the other hand, it highlighted the growing frustration of the people of Havana and Cubans in general regarding the disorganization in cultural activities.
