During the 25th anniversary of the Spanish television series ‘Cuéntame cómo pasó’, actress María Galiana, who portrayed the character Herminia for over twenty years, shared critical views regarding the production. In an appearance on the ‘Silla de Enea’ podcast, Galiana stated that she never watched the series during its original broadcast. While she acknowledged the show’s sociological value and its ability to use nostalgia to connect with viewers, she noted that from a technical perspective, the production did not seem as high-quality as major American fiction series. In subsequent interviews, the 91-year-old actress expanded on these sentiments, sparking controversy among fans. Galiana stated that she never considered the series to be a ‘good production’ and expressed that her 22 years with the show did not contribute significantly to her professional growth. She admitted a desire to have focused more on film and other significant acting roles throughout her career rather than the long-running series. Recently, Galiana further reflected on her career trajectory, expressing regret regarding the extensive time dedicated to the TVE series, which spanned 23 seasons and over 430 prime time broadcasts. While she has maintained that the working environment was excellent and the team was supportive, she noted that she might have preferred to dedicate more of those years to theater. Some observers have interpreted these comments as a sign of personal self-exigency regarding her professional path.
