Spanish TV dramas La Promesa and Barrio Esperanza dominate recent RTVE coverage

The daily drama La Promesa aired its 825th episode on La 1, showing the duke of Carril’s blackmail of Manuel, a family confrontation, and the confirmation that the Patronato will assume responsibility for a refugee shelter.

In a separate interview, actress Mariona Terés, star of the series Barrio Esperanza, criticised the precarious working conditions of actors and complained that the program’s late‑night start on RTVE is “very late,” arguing it harms television viewership.

Both pieces reflect ongoing public interest in Spanish scripted television and the industry's labor issues.
