MIAMI - After facing significant obstacles, hidden behind saints that protect drug traffickers and kidnappers on one side, and demons on the other, Mexican actor Fernando Colunga is set to make his long-awaited return to U.S. Spanish-language television with "El Conde: Amor y Honor."
Colunga, known as the quintessential telenovela heartthrob, has been absent from American TV screens since 2016 when his last project, "Pasión y Poder," aired on Univision. The last eight years of Colunga's professional life have been marked by a mix of voluntary and forceful retreat from the limelight, missed lucrative contracts, and a remake of a legendary telenovela that never made it across the border.
