The secret that Don Ramón never wanted to tell about the Witch of Seventy-One and that left everyone speechless
For decades, millions of people remembered Don Ramón escaping every time he saw the famous Witch of Seventy-One appear. It was enough to listen to his voice to imagine him running through the neighborhood yard while the neighbors could not contain their laughter. That chase became one of the most beloved scenes on television and was forever etched in the memory of several generations.
But there is a story that very few know... or at least that's what those who claim to have been close to the old studios where that unforgettable series was born say.
They say that, when the cameras stopped recording and silence returned to the corridors, everything changed completely.
There were no more chases, shouts or arguments.
Instead, there was a friendship so sincere that it surprised anyone who witnessed it.
The studio workers said that both used to sit for long breaks to talk about life, family and the dreams they still wanted to fulfill. While the rest of the cast took the opportunity to rest, they continued to share anecdotes, laughing and reminiscing about the first days in show business.
Many thought that the rivalry they saw on screen also existed outside of it. However, those who actually lived with them assured the exact opposite.
They said that they always treated each other with enormous respect.
That there was never a lack of a kind word.
That if one arrived worried about a personal problem, the other was the first to offer support.
As time went by, countless rumors began to emerge.
Some people claimed that this complicity hid a secret that never came to light.
Others claimed that there was a promise made many years ago, a silent pact to protect the magic of their characters and prevent the audience from disbelieving in that fun chase that provoked so many smiles.
The legend grew with each generation.
There were those who swore they had seen how the two remained talking for hours after finishing the recordings, while the studio was completely empty.
The guards said that they were always the last to leave.
Not because they had work to do.
They simply enjoyed talking.
They recalled stories of their youth, spoke of the affection of the public and shared the illusion that those characters would continue to make people laugh even many years later.
A former prop man said that one afternoon he found on a table a small notebook full of handwritten phrases.
They were not scripts.
Nor were they dialogues.
They were reflections on the importance of making people laugh even when life could be difficult.
Those words ended up becoming a kind of inspiration for those who worked behind the cameras.
Over time, the series became a phenomenon that crossed borders.
Children, young people and adults found in those characters something more than entertainment.
They discovered friendship, solidarity, humility and the ability to smile even when it seemed that all was lost.
Maybe that's why the public never stopped loving them.
Because behind each scene there was an enormous commitment to make millions of families happy.
Each episode hid hours of rehearsal, unexpected improvisations and spontaneous moments that were born thanks to the trust that existed between all the members of the cast.
Those who worked close to them remembered that the atmosphere was very different from what many imagined.
The jokes continued even when no one was recording.
Laughter echoed in the dressing rooms.
And the characters seemed to come to life long before the cameras started rolling.
Over the years, the image of Don Ramón fleeing from the Witch of Seventy-One continued to travel the world.
Each repetition aroused the same smile.
Each scene recalled a time when a few minutes in front of the television were enough to forget the worries of the day.
Perhaps that is the real secret that remains alive to this day.
Not a hidden romance.
Not a real rivalry.
But the extraordinary ability of two great artists to convince the audience of a story completely opposite to the reality of their characters.
That magic made millions of spectators laugh over and over again, believing for a moment that Don Ramón would never stand the presence of the Witch of Seventy-One.
And yet, when the recordings ended, the only thing that remained was mutual respect, professional admiration and the commitment to continue giving unforgettable moments to entire generations.
Because great characters can argue, pursue and fight within fiction, but the true legacy of those who play them will always be the affection they managed to sow in the hearts of the audience. That is why, even today, they continue to be remembered with a smile and deep affection by millions of people around the world.
