The unusual reappearance of China Suárez on social media after 13 days of silence

Since she confirmed her relationship with Mauro Icardi on January 9, 2025, Eugenia "La China" Suárez has gone through very difficult weeks. After the scandalous afternoon snack between Icardi and his daughters, the actress faced harsh criticism and even threats that forced her to stay away from social media.

However, after almost two weeks without posting on her Instagram—where she has millions of followers—, the artist reappeared with an announcement that thrilled her fans: her participation in El barro, the highly anticipated spin-off of El marginal.

The news came through her Instagram stories, where she shared never-before-seen images from the filming. For the first time, the actress showed her surprising transformation for the character of Nicole, a young inmate who will have a heart-shaped tattoo on her cheek and a particular detail: a cut on her eyebrow that leaves a hairless stripe. She also posted a selfie in her costume on the set, wearing a comfortable, urban look that included sweatpants, a crop top, and a matching black sweatjersey.

On her social media, she also shared photos with her castmates, and until the last day of filming, she decorated her locker room in pink tones, with family photos and small details that show her personal touch. Without a doubt, En el barro is one of the most anticipated projects of the year and promises to capture the audience's attention from its premiere.

The series is a major Netflix production, directed by Sebastián Ortega, which will feature stars such as Valentina Zenere, Rita Cortese, Lorena Vega, Ana Rujas, Carolina Ramírez, and Ana Garibaldi—who will reprise her memorable role as Gladys Guerra. There will also be special appearances by Juana Molina, Juan Gil Navarro, Justina Bustos, Gerardo Romano, and Cecilia Rosetto, along with a large cast that includes Camila Peralta, Erika de Sautu Riestra, Martín Rodríguez and more.

The big surprise is the acting debut of María Becerra, who also shared her excitement about joining the spin-off through her own Instagram account. "I'm a huge fan of El marginal, I love it. So I'm absolutely thrilled with my participation in this series and happy to be acting again," said the singer in a video where she confirmed her involvement.
