They are the times that run in a television industry in constant crisis and where the channels fight against losses and to get ahead. In the midst of this climate, Mega gave an end to the contracts of actresses María Gracia Omegna, Francisca Imboden and Carmen Zabala.
Omegna is one of the girls symbol of the dramatic area of the Mackenna Vicuña Canal. It was integrated in 2015, a year after Mega relieved the production of television series with Pituca without Lucas, a success of rating and sales.
The second production of the television station was Doring Drift, which María Gracia starred with Gonzalo Valenzuela. The challenge was to maintain the level and results of Pituca and they succeeded. Not only that: in the recordings the relationship of the protagonists began, who in 2019 had their daughter, and ended in 2021
Then the 40 -year -old interpreter stood out in Papis, if I were rich and other stories, and in the remake of The Lord of the Querencia, for which she won her second Caleuche prize for the best leading television actress.
Francisca Imboden also had a decade on the private signal, starting with Omegna in Dad drifting, through titles such as insane, generation ’98 and the current reversal of market love. In 2016 he won the Golden Copihue by Papis.
Carmen Zabala arrived in 2016 in Mega in I give your life and became a face of the style in hidden truths, the longest Chilean television series, which was five years on the air and where the character of the interpreter was performed by her and other actresses.
According to the report of Glamorama, The measure taken with the three artists has nothing to do with the new Patricio Hernández administration as executive director of the television. It is a strategy taught for a long time, due to the increasing difficulties facing television.
It is part of an initiative to make costs and that does not mean a definitive separation of actresses and actors, but from now on, these figures will be called by project, “as with 90% of the members of the casts,” says a source of Mega.
