Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Lander said he's not sure if Pobre diabla would work today. “I don't want to see old Santiago Fontaner,” he told a journalist (Lander turned 49 in June). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.

Still hoping for a Pobre diabla movie?

In a recent interview, Cristóbal Lander said he can't imagine a Pobre diabla reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”

Co-star Alejandra Lazcano has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Pobre diabla movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
