After three years embodying Noah Morán, actress Nicole Wallace is bidding farewell to the Culpables saga, confronting some of the most intense, tragic, and revealing moments in the story. Speaking exclusively to a global entertainment outlet, Wallace has opened up for the first time about the significant plot twists found in Culpa Nuestra, the third and final film in the trilogy, which recently premiered on Prime Video.
Wallace reflected on this career-defining goodbye, sharing feelings of "nostalgia, pride… I think above all pride." Beyond the emotional weight of concluding such a beloved series, the Madrid-born actress also discussed her experience filming the movie’s most challenging scenes. These included the dramatic shooting that alters Nick’s fate, Noah’s surprising pregnancy, the poignant death of Anabel, and a chaotic ending that notably departs from Mercedes Ron’s original novel.
The scene where Nick, played by Gabriel Guevara, is shot proved to be one of the most demanding, yet paradoxically, most liberating days on set for Wallace. She recalled the intensity of the shoot. She explained that performing such highly fictionalized sequences, which are unlikely to occur in real life, offered a unique opportunity for her to fully commit to the moment and release her emotions without reservation. This particular moment, including Nick’s subsequent coma, became a major talking point after Prime Video’s official trailer for Culpa Nuestra amassed over 163 million views, setting a record as the most-watched preview for an original streaming film.
Another major development in Culpa Nuestra is Noah’s pregnancy. This twist has divided fans, but Wallace viewed it as a chance to explore a more vulnerable aspect of her character. While acknowledging the contradictory reactions, she focused on the entertainment value of such a dramatic turn. She found it incredibly fun to portray these plot twists and the inherent drama that defines the saga. The pregnancy not only redefines Noah’s journey but also adds a new layer of emotional depth to the protagonists’ reunion, which occurs during Jenna and Lion’s wedding. This reunion becomes the backdrop for the culmination of their tumultuous love story and eventual redemption.
The film also marks the departure of a pivotal character: Anabel, Nick’s mother, portrayed by Goya Toledo. Anabel’s death represents one of the movie’s most sorrowful moments. For Wallace, tackling this emotional challenge required close collaboration with her acting coach. She described preparing extensively through coaching and rehearsals before filming. Wallace believes this storyline underscores a fundamental theme of the movie: "there is no other life and we only have one chance to do things." She feels this message is clearly conveyed in the film.
Readers of Mercedes Ron’s novels will observe that the conclusion of Culpa Nuestra diverges from the book’s ending. Wallace expressed her happiness with this decision. She believes the revised ending aligns perfectly with the saga’s overall tone and the vision shared by author Mercedes Ron. She also feels it gives the characters the resolution they deserve, calling it "very fun, and very crazy and chaotic, like the movies themselves." Prime Video has described this ending as a blend of romance, tragedy, and hope, where Noah and Nick must confront their past wounds while also embracing their future, resulting in a finale filled with "tears, laughter, and love to the limit."
The global impact of the Culpables trilogy has been undeniable. Prime Video hosted the worldwide premiere of Culpa Nuestra in Ibiza, attended by the entire cast, author Mercedes Ron, and director Domingo González. The trilogy, produced by Pokeepsie Films (Banijay Iberia) with Álex de la Iglesia and Carolina Bang, has become one of the most successful romantic stories in Prime Video’s global catalog, accessible in over 240 countries and territories. Wallace succinctly captured the essence of the finale, stating, "It is a very crazy and chaotic ending, but true to the spirit of the films and what the characters deserved."
Culpa Nuestra became available on Prime Video starting October 16, officially bringing the Culpables trilogy to its highly anticipated close.
