'Taina, like me, was Puerto Rican from New York; Taina, like me, went to performing arts high school and wanted to be a star That was me. I was like, this is literally my story.' -Christina Vidal
), who’s living in San Antonio alongside his single mom Drea and five uncles. Each character means well when it comes to Rafa’s upbringing, but tons of familial chaos — set against a good dose of humor — ensues over the course of season one’s eight-episode run. "The character, the writing — this is the kind of stuff I actually dream about. That’s when I really became committed to getting the part.
“They had given me a couple new scenes [where] I was like, ‘I have to get this part,’” Vidal says. “The character, the writing — this is the kind of stuff I actually dream about. That’s when I really became committed to getting the part.” The moment Vidal received the call she’d been waiting for, it came with a few hiccups. “I was in the shower and my phone rings,” she recalls, laughing. “I answer it from the shower: Hello? Hello? Hello? There was nothing that was gonna keep me from that phone call.”After some back and forth with her team, the news was official: She got the part. Vidal went “screaming down the hall,” celebrating with her husband and kids. “I just couldn’t believe I booked it honestly, and I was so grateful.
When she considers how she’s different from her on-screen counterpart Drea, Vidal highlights Drea’s strength and resourcefulness. She’s used to having the weight on her and understands how to carry the mental load not just for herself, but her entire family. “She’s just tough and a little bit scary,” Vidal says. “That is not me at all. But it’s the women in my family: my mom, my sisters, my tías, and my grandmas. I come from very strong-willed, sort of alpha females.
Vidal, however, came out “like a little delicate dove” among these alpha women. Her sensitivity and aloofness set her apart from others in her family. “I have always been taken care of by my family members because I’m the baby of the four kids. Drea is more like my oldest sister and my mom. So what was good about that is I feel like I already knew her, even though I myself don’t embody those qualities.
