Since the outcome of his storyline was announced, reactions haven't stopped multiplying on social media. Many viewers didn't expect this farewell so soon, even though the story had been preparing the ground for some time. The character's departure is final and carries a very strong emotional weight.

La Promesa, with more than 600 episodes aired, has said goodbye to important characters in the past. However, few have left as deep a mark as Rómulo. His role has been crucial in keeping the balance between the different worlds that coexist in the palace.

The sad news about Joaquín Climent

Throughout this time, Joaquín Climent has played a complex and nuanced character with great strength. Rómulo has not only been a loyal butler, but also a man with a past full of shadows. His sense of duty even led him to commit extreme acts to protect the marquises.

One of the traits most valued by the audience has been his ability to keep firm in the face of adversity. He always knew how to contain conflicts, keep secrets, and protect the house's balance. He has been an essential figure in the moments of greatest tension.

Everything changes when someone from the past bursts back into his life. Emilia, played by Arantxa Aranguren, reappears to stir up old wounds. The reunion between the two triggers a decision that changes everything.

Rómulo decides to leave his position and move away from La Promesa for good. Together with Emilia, he embarks on a new stage in life, far from the palace and its intrigues. He does this not to escape, but out of the need to close a chapter.

This exit has been crafted with great care by the writing team. It has been a farewell consistent with the character's evolution, leaving no loose ends. Emotion is guaranteed in every scene leading up to his departure.

The saddest farewell from "La Promesa"

For many, this farewell is one of the most intense moments the series has experienced. Rómulo's departure is not just the disappearance of a character, but also the symbolic closure of an important part of the story. The impact he has had on the plots makes him one of the main protagonists in La Promesa's universe.

For Joaquín Climent, this exit also marks the end of an intense chapter as an actor. He has been present from the beginning and has brought to life a character much loved by the audience. His performance has been praised by critics and the public throughout the series' run.

Rómulo's departure marks a turning point in the palace's dynamics. His absence will bring visible changes to the relationships between the characters. It remains to be seen how the balance will be reconfigured without his reference figure.

Fans have already expressed it: the series won't be the same without him. Climent's loyalty to the role and his natural way of acting have made him one of the pillars of La Promesa's success. His farewell is sad, but also consistent with the character's journey.

In the coming episodes, the void left by his departure will be felt. Although the series will move forward, his memory will remain very present. Rómulo Baeza has gone down in history as one of the great names in TVE's fiction.

With this twist, La Promesa shows that it continues to bet on the emotional development of its storylines. It's not just about keeping interest, but about properly closing the cycles of its protagonists. Rómulo's departure is painful, but also an example of how to say goodbye to a character with respect.

The writers have managed to make the audience feel this departure as a real loss. That is perhaps the greatest proof of Joaquín Climent's work's success. His character says goodbye in grand style, with the audience's unconditional affection.
