The news of Lua Blanco's passing has sparked a wave of sadness among Rebelde fans across different countries. The actress, known for playing Roberta Messi in the Brazilian version of the popular youth soap opera, died this weekend at the age of 39, leaving a community that followed the international adaptations of the story closely for years in shock.
The case has gained special relevance because Rebelde was not just a phenomenon in Mexico, but a franchise that was replicated in several countries with local casts. Brazil was one of the territories where the series had its own version, and Lua Blanco became a beloved figure to the public by embodying one of the central characters of the plot.
Dulce María’s message
Among the most discussed reactions is that of Dulce María, who played Roberta Messi in the original Televisa production. The singer and actress used her social media to express her grief and send words of support to Lua Blanco's loved ones.
"Completely in shock, I had the opportunity to meet her and film together. I am so sorry, I pray to God to give strength and swift peace to her family, friends, and fans," wrote Dulce María.
Along with her words, she shared a photograph of the two taken some time ago, a memory of their professional encounter. The artist closed her message with a phrase full of affection: "I send you a hug with all my love. Fly high, beautiful Lua."
A character shared in two versions of Rebelde
The bond between the two actresses stems from the fact that they both played Roberta, one of the most memorable characters in the story, albeit in different productions and for audiences in different countries. That coincidence made Dulce María's message one of the most significant among the many expressions of affection that Lua Blanco's family has received since the news broke.
The Mexican singer's farewell joins those of other followers and industry colleagues who have highlighted Lua Blanco's legacy within the Rebelde universe, a franchise that continues to generate emotional closeness among those who grew up watching its various versions.
