CRISTIAN QUIJORNA, JUNE 30, 2020



The actresses give the keys to the reunion of their respective characters in the series of La 1 and analyze the importance of the couple in the LGBTIQ + collective.



The most famous neighborhood of the small screen has one of the most beloved couples on television: "Maitino". 'Acacias 38' has among its characters Maite and Camino, characters embodied by Ylenia Baglietto and Aria Bedmar, respectively. Both form the couple called "Maitino" and together they have starred in a love story that has even given birth to a fandom of the couple, the so-called "maitiners", already present throughout the planet. Some fans who saw months ago as Maite left the love of her life to return to France. From that moment they began a fight to get it to return and find its way, something that will finally happen on July 1 in the fiction of Televisión Española and Boomerang.


Now, and coinciding with the return of said character and her reunion with Camino, FormulaTV has been able to chat with both actresses to discover the secrets of this expected return. In addition, both interpreters tell us how they deal with filming after the coronavirus crisis and also and coinciding with LGBTI + Pride week, both take stock of the importance of a lesbian couple such as Maite and Camino in our society.
