The new series of ‘Ugly Betty: The Story Continues’ arrived on Prime Video and brought back beloved and beloved characters, but also introduced us to new faces that promise to give an interesting twist to the plot.
Among these new roles stands out that of Ignacio, protégé of Marcela Valencia, about whom an interesting theory is circulating on social networks.
Who is Ignacio in “Ugly Betty: The Story Continues”?
Ignacio is a computer genius and vice president of marketing at Ecomoda, a position he got thanks to Marcela Valencia’s recommendation. Although he had originally been nominated as president, Beatriz – who eventually took that position – demoted him to his current position.
Played by Sebastián Osorio Mercado (seen in “Paraíso blanco” and “Pasión de gavilanes”), Ignacio quickly caught the attention of fans for his enigmatic and mysterious personality.
His character and style turned out to be very familiar, because, according to the comments of social media users, he reminded them a lot of Daniel Valencia, the bitter enemy of Beatriz Pinzón Solano in the first installment.
Fans of the show have come up with an interesting theory about his true identity, which suggests that he could be Daniel Valencia’s estranged son, not only because of the similarity in their personalities, but also because of the close relationship they have with Marcela.
This premise, according to fans, doesn’t sound so far-fetched, because in the absence of the competition that Daniel Valencia gave to ‘Ugly Betty’, the writers would have to fill that gap and what better than a prodigal son.
What happened to Daniel Valencia’s character?
In chapter 1 of Ugly Betty: The Story Continues, Marcela Valencia reveals that her brother was wrongfully imprisoned for the crime of money laundering and had to serve a 25-year prison sentence, where he died. However, the cause of his death has not been clarified so far.
In the first part of ‘Ugly Betty’, Daniel Valencia competed with Armando Mendoza for the presidency of Ecomoda. This character stood out for his arrogant, sexist and misogynist attitude.
