In Telemundo’s La Fan, Vale (Angélica Vale) is your everyday novela-obsessed queen, slaying the humble life on a street corner in a giant pizza costume, handing out flyers one by one. But then fate (and Telemundo) sends her crashing (literally) into the man of her dreams and the drama of her life. Because novelas will never get tired of a meet-cute collision.
Vale thinks she’s rescuing her celeb crush, dreamy telenovela star Lucas Duarte (Juan Pablo Espinosa), from certain doom… except it’s just a scene he’s filming. But thanks to a conveniently rigged fan contest, she scores a date. During their lunch together, something happens that puts Lucas in actual danger – and this time, Vale saves his life for real. Cue her own main-character upgrade.
From fangirl to full-time assistant, Vale becomes Lucas’s ride-or-die, and somewhere between the autograph signings and on-set chaos, he finally starts catching real feelings for her. The catch? In peak telenovela fashion – where fate is less cosmic and more cooked up at a writer’s desk – Lucas finds out he’s the deadbeat dad of Vale’s adopted son.… a.k.a. the lovechild of her late bestie. How’s that for a juicy set up?
