Plot
A deranged gunman takes aim at the maids during Rosie and Spence’s wedding, leaving everyone to wonder who will survive. In the wake of this tragedy, the women lean on each other like never before, even as they face complex problems in their own lives. Zoila ponders her next steps after discovering that she is pregnant and uncertain who the father may be. Carmen realizes there is more than meets the eye to the charming Sebastien. Meanwhile, Valentina and Remi struggle to connect in the aftermath of the shooting; Marisol’s aspirations lead her to a surprising career change; and Blanca, a new maid in the neighborhood, lands a job with a seemingly picture-perfect family, but soon discovers a terrible secret that could change her life forever.
Development
On September 26, 2014, it was announced that the series would return for a third season, set to premiere in 2015. Gilles Marini was added to the cast, in the role of Sebastian, a real estate agent Carmen gets involved with. In January 2015, it was confirmed that Brianna Brown would return to the main cast for the third season. In February 2015, it was reported that Glee actress Naya Rivera had joined the season in the recurring role of Blanca, a maid to a seemingly ideal family, who learns of a life altering secret. Later that month, Days of Our Lives actor Nathan Owens was cast in the regular role of Jesse, a recently returned home military man, and Cristián de la Fuente was cast as Ernesto Falta, Rosie's first husband. In April 2015, it was reported that the previous regulars Drew Van Acker and Edy Ganem had been demoted to recurring roles for the third season.
