Vecinos (English: Neighbors) is a Mexican TV series adapted in 2005 by actor Eugenio Derbez from Spanish TV series Aquí no hay quien viva. The series portrays the life of everyday people in Mexican barrios, where anything can be found — the jealous housewife, the spinster, the strange family, etc. Each episode features the interactions between these peculiar neighbors, where they deal with problems both real and imagined, such as ghosts, treasures, ripoffs, fights, etc.
When Eugenio Derbez traveled to Spain in 2005, he saw a TV series named Aquí no hay quien viva, which features the same kind of problems that people have in the barrios. He thought a Mexican remake would be a good idea, so he created Vecinos.
The third season premiered on January 20 on Televisa, presenting the conclusion of the cliffhanger of the second season aired on September 12, 2007.
Germán Martínez
The building's doorman. He is lazy, but he tries to pretend the opposite in front of the neighbors. He almost always wears a backwards baseball cap, sagging jeans, and a too-small, too-tight, belly-exposing T-shirt.
German is portrayed by Eduardo España.
Don Roque Balboa
An elderly retired soldier. His neurotic character makes him intolerant and he lives in eternal disagreement with his neighbors. He has a teddy bear named Rambo.
Don Roque is portrayed by Polo Ortín.
Vanessa Balboa
She is a veterinarian and a hardcore pet lover. She lives with her grandfather, Don Roque Balboa.
Vanessa is portrayed by Roxana Castellanos.
Doña Cata "Catita" Balboa
A heavily religious nurse hired by Don Roque's son to take care of him after Vanessa moves out. At first she's somewhat antagonistic towards Don Roque because she's always trying to take away his sweets (Which his doctor forbade him from eating) and talk him out of doing foolish things, but they eventually develop a romantic relationship over their surprisingly similar tastes and hobbies and get married.
