* LivingProp: Miranda's sons. We only know about the ''consequences'' of their presence (Miranda can't run away after a lover from the past, she has to make sure the kids are always either at school or home, adult people has to endure their childish antics, etc), but we hardly know anything about ''them''. They are not mute, but feel fortunate if they say just two sentences in the week.

* BurnBabyBurn: Miranda and Vera sold their shares of the radio to Sandra, who took the contract to gloat before Pipo. Pipo read it with no signs of concern, and then burnt it with his cigarette lighter. A new "son of rock and roll" has appeared (meaning, yet another missing son of Roby), which makes the sales null and void until the shares are properly redistributed.

* SpoilerTitle: "Viudas" means "Widows", in female and plural, and it is clear since episode 1 that those "widows of rock and roll" are Sandra and Gabriela. "Hijos" means "sons" or "offsprings", in plural, but either for all-males groups or for groups with both males and females. Even more, the whole name is also a parody of the band "Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll", which uses the all-female form. In the first episodes we saw Miranda and Vera, the "daughters of Rock and Roll", and no male ones. It was only a matter of time before a male "son of rock and roll" appears or gets revealed... and it happened.

Sandra became the widow of Roby, and owner of the radio, ready to make a lot of changes... but Pipo does not allow her to have it her way, and Miranda and Vera have each a third part of the shares of the radio, leaving Sandra in the minority.

'''Viudas e hijos del Rock and Roll''' (Widow and sons of Rock And Roll) is an Argentine telenovela, starring Paola Barrientos and Damian De Santo.

Miranda is a rocker, the daughter of the famous radio host Roby. Back in 1992, she was in the Villa Gesell vacation city with her friend Sandra. Everybody tried to flirt with her to get close to her father; except Diego, who did not know about that. They had a romance the whole January, while they stayed in the city. Then they made an oath: they would not exchange adresses or phone numbers, and instead meet the next 14/2 at the Buenos Aires obelisk. But then, things go down: Miranda saw that her best friend had a romance with her father, and cursed them both. Diego had a car accident and failed to meet Miranda as they had arranged, so she cursed him as well; and gave up the whole rock and roll thing, forever.

And then we jump to modern day. Roby has died, and Miranda attender the funeral, even if she had not seen her father or her former best friend since then. Diego saw him in TV, when the news report talked about the funeral, and finally meet her again... 22 years later.
