Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/GranHotel'': Detective Ayala proves to be a competent and reasonable detective despite being older than most of the other characters; when he learns that Julio isn't technically an employee of the hotel and is just trying to solve his sister's disappearance, Ayala decides that they should work together since they're already working towards the same goal anyways. He also doesn't give a damn about the drama going on around him and the [[GambitPileup constant scheming]] of the [[BigScrewedUpFamily Alarcón family]], instead just caring about doing his job, even if said scheming has a tendency to impede him.
