While Dr. Santiago is divorced from Maria, they still have a great relationship and he does all he can to catch up with Ronnie Anne and Bobby while working. He will also send packages and do video chats with Ronnie Anne while caring for the children in the clinics throughout the world. Ronnie Anne and her father are similar in many of their personality traits and get along wonderfully so can understand her wanting him to move to the same town. That being said we know that Dr. Santiago’s work is very important to children across the globe, so it will be interesting to see what plan Ronnie Anne and Sid come up with.
Nickelodeon is debuting a brand-new half-hour special of The Casagrandes, “Operation Dad,” on Monday, Jan. 20, at 7:00 p.m. (ET/PT), starring Eugenio Derbez (Overboard). During the episode, Ronnie Anne tries to convince her Dad (voiced by Eugenio Derbez) to move to the city while he is visiting. With the help of Sid, she devises a plan that seems too good to fail.
You can watch a preview of The Casagrandes, “Operation Dad,” below as well as checking out some pictures from the episode. In the clip we get to see Ronnie Anne meeting her dad at the airport and driving back to the building where Ronnie Annie now lives. This is going to be a great episode and fans will be glad to learn more about Dr. Santiago. Getting Eugenio Derbez to do the voice work is a great casting choice as well.
Eugenio recently talked to HOLA! USA about the Nickelodeon show. “I think we need that in this country, we are millions of Latinos and we finally have a series that is talking about us,” said Eugenio, adding “The series is about family, how we bond with each other, how we succeed through our problems and stay united.
“Understanding that at the end of the day, we all love each other, so there is a lot of love behind this series and I think this is the main message of the show.”

Clip: Eugenio Derbez Lands in ‘Casagrandes’ Special “Operation Dad”
A loving cartoon family reconnects this month, when Nickelodeon debuts the brand-new, hour-hour The Casagrandes special “Operation Dad” on Monday, January 20 at 7 p.m. ET/PT. In this outing, Ronnie Anne tries to convince her visiting father Dr. Santiago (voiced by Eugenio Derbez of Overboard) to move to the city — and, with the help of Sid, devise a plan that seems too good to fail!
Dr. Santiago is amicably divorced from Ronnie Anne’s mother Maria, and he is a physician living and working in Peru. He works with Physicians on Missions, an organization that cares for children, and provides vaccines and health care in clinics throughout the world. Like his daughter, Dr. Santiago is adventurous, funny, kindhearted and charismatic. He and Ronnie Anne share a special bond despite the distance. They regularly catch up via video chat, and she’s always excited to receive care packages from his world travels.

The eighth episode will premiere on Monday, January 20.
Eugenio Derbez’s new animated series The Casagrandes is a cartoon meant for Latinx families. It tells the story of a family’s adventures once they move in with their multi-generational Mexican-American extended family above their local Mercado. "We can finally see us, Latinos, reflected on screen,” Eugenio tells HOLA! USA about the Nickelodeon show. “I think we need that in this country, we are millions of Latinos and we finally have a series that is talking about us.”
This month, fans of the show will continue the journey with the fun family when the eighth episode premieres on January 20. Titled “Operation Dad,” the story will follow Ronnie Anne (Izabella Alvarez) as she tries to convince her father Dr. Santiago (voiced by Eugenio Derbez) to stop working as a physician in Peru and move to the city where she and her family live. From the home dynamic to the many traditions, The Casagrandes sheds a spotlight on how Latinx families live.
“The series is about family, how we bond with each other, how we succeed through our problems and stay united,” Eugenio continued. “Understanding that at the end of the day, we all love each other, so there is a lot of love behind this series and I think this is the main message of the show.”
