Character[]
Esteban is a telenovela actor and Rogelio's arch-rival and nemesis. Esteban presents a cool, somewhat smarmy, stone-faced persona, who is constantly in verbal sparring with Rogelio, although he pretends in public that they're friends (as does Rogelio).[1] In later years, when their paths cross again, Esteban reveals a more kind side (although he's still sparring with Rogelio) as he begins dating Darci and spends time with her and Rogelio's daughter Baby, who Esteban is seen to care for deeply.
Story[]
2014
Esteban stars on renowned telenovela The Glory and The Temptation, of which the most direct competitor is Rogelio's success telenovela The Passions of Santos. At the 2014 Paloma Awards he and Rogelio are interviewed and make nice, but really are constantly feuding. Much to his joy, Esteban wins the 2014 Paloma for Best Actor.
