Pedro Fernández Quits ‘Hasta El Fin Del Mundo’: Telenovela Actor Cites Health Issues As Reasons For Exit

Pedro Fernández has confirmed the rumors and his exit from "Hasta El Fin Del Mundo" is now a reality. The actor that stars opposite Marjorie De Sousa on the Univision primetime telenovela cited health issues as his reasons for quitting. "The truth is that it's been five months of an intense rhythm of work, I have lost a lot of weight and my doctor recommended to lower the rhtyhm," Fernández told Javier Poza on his Radio Fórmula show. "I need to take care of myself and it saddens me leaving the project like this for respect to my fans, but my health is first." It has not yet been revealed when his last day on the set of the Televisa production will be and when his last episode will air. Nicandro Díaz, the producer, has scheduled a press conference where he will announced who will replace Pedro. UPDATE: 'Hasta El Fin Del Mundo' Cast: David Zepeda To Replace Pedro Fernández In Televisa Telenovela

Two names have come up to take Pedro Fernández's place on "Hasta El Fin Del Mundo" and they areDavid Zepeda and Eduardo Yáñez. According to a report on radio show "Fórmula Espectacular," the producer is set to offer a press conference later today to clear up the situation and name the new actor that will take his place. A Televisa insider has also said that a possibility being looked into is "graduating" Diego Olivera into the lead actor. He currently is coupled up with Claudia Alvarez, who plays one of De Sousa's younger sisters. That doesn't resolve the issue that Marjorie will not be coupled, unless they form a love triangle with her sister and completely change the original storyline.

The Televisa production has struggled to gain traction with viewers but timely changes to the scripts have managed to maintain an audience. Initial reaction to the pairing of Fernández and De Sousa was not positive with social media citing the age differences or that the "Yo No Fui" singer was not up to par in attractiveness to the blonde beauty. Now it seems that both actors are having some differences and Pedro might be exiting the production soon. Rumors on "Todo Para La Mujer" point to the wife and daughters of the actors being jealous of Marjorie and their kissing scenes. This last rumor is what insiders are saying is the real reason Pedro Fernández is leaving the production.
