Leocadia de Figueroa, portrayed by Isabel Serrano, is captivating audiences with her mysterious past and intriguing presence in La Promesa. In this video, we dive deep into her backstory, explore her motives, and speculate on the unfolding events surrounding her character.
Leocadia returns to La Promesa despite a pact made with Rómulo years ago to stay away. Her reappearance raises questions, especially since Rómulo spared her life under the condition that she vanish forever—a condition she hasn’t honored. She argues that time has absolved her past crimes, hinting at a personal vendetta against Cruz, whose long-standing rivalry with Leocadia stems from their shared childhood in Cuba. Both were raised together under the same governess, with Cruz coming from nobility and Leocadia from humbler origins. Their diverging paths caused friction, especially after their return to Spain, where Cruz distanced herself from Leocadia.
Leocadia’s connection to the family is deeper than it seems. She’s hinted at being a close friend of Eugenia, Cruz’s sister, and even witnessed pivotal events like Eugenia’s child, Marcos (Curro), being handed to her. Mysteriously, Cruz ordered her murder shortly thereafter, forcing Leocadia to flee to Cuba. Could her secret involve a child she had with the baron, making her a hidden threat to Cruz’s inheritance?
Her return now seems tied to Catalina, whom she supports as a fellow single mother—a revelation linking their struggles. While some theories suggest Leocadia might be the mother of another central character, this seems unlikely given her known history.
Her vendetta against Cruz is becoming evident. From challenging Cruz’s dominance to possibly being Alonso’s emotional refuge, Leocadia’s role promises to shake the foundations of La Promesa.
