The relationship between Luisita Gómez and Amelia Ledesma has two beginnings and no end: one, at the end of the 70s;
another, in the middle of 2020 prepandemic.
And, in between, the more than 40 years that separate
Amar is forever
from
Luimelia
.
The Antena 3 series decided to do without its
lesbian partner
so that Atresmedia would create another of its own with the name of a
flashy
couple:
Luimelia
.
Like
Brangelina
, a contraction of Brad [Pitt] and Angelina [Jolie], but in an exclusively female version.
"We are better," laughs Paula Usero as she is photographed in front of the door of the
Plaza del Conde de Miranda,
where she met Carol Rovira for the second time in the first chapter of
Luimelia
.
"Do you remember how beautiful it was, with a cardboard box in hand?"
And now the one laughing is Carol.
"We already laugh at the same things as
Luimelia
, we are them for spending so many hours together."
So much so that, during the hour that this meeting lasts, there are many times in which one completes the sentence that the other has just started.
"Our story without complicity outside is impossible, we have to take care of ourselves so that when we record we are protected and there is a connection," adds Paula.
Together they are a phenomenon in
social networks
.
The first three seasons, its 10-minute chapters were translated into hundreds of thousands of tweets and the consequent
trending topic
.
In the fourth, which began airing on AtresPlayer Premium at the end of June, they get older with half-hour chapters.
It is one more change for these two actresses who in just a month saw each other outside of
Amar es para siempre
, starring in a spin off and taking a leap of four decades of social progress.
«It was easier than we thought because the look and the love are the same, although the conflict is different.
In 2020 our conflict is to survive the day to day, lack of money or being frustrated by your work.
What becomes our life, "says Usero.

And also to survive the networks, with which both maintain a love-hate relationship, due to a legion of fans convinced that their love goes beyond the screen. «Most people are wonderful and give us love. It is beautiful that they tell you that your story has changed their life, but
there are people who get confused thinking that we are a real couple
. Even if you tell them 500 times, they sweat it because they need it for their mental health. It is strong that they confuse fiction with reality and it is uncomfortable because, sometimes, we do not receive nice comments ", they comment.
The magic of a fiction that has projected them as LGTBI referents, but that sometimes invades their private lives. “We cannot lose our identity due to the opinions we receive on the networks, but I am sensitive and many times they affect me because I am left with the negative. You have to know how to distance yourself because you know that they are essential for our work, but
we would be very happy if one day we sent them to fuck their ass,
"says Usero.
«We
do not want to be an icon or the flag of anything, we are two actresses playing lesbians
. It is true that it is very difficult to remove your clothes and leave them in the dressing room, whenever we can collaborate and we will do whatever it takes to make it visible, but no matter how much empathy we have, we must stay a little on the sidelines and leave those affected in the front row », shells Carol.
In its new season,
Luimelia
reflects the doubts that arise in the couple due to the appearance of third parties and makes a plea in favor of self-care.
“We have been so focused on being well with our partner that we forget ourselves.
It is time to ask that we work and be with our family and friends, “
