Pablo left the original series after Season 11, while Weatherly did so after Season 13. Moreover, a famous international group of actors and actresses will join them in Budapest. One of them already took selfies in the magnificent Hungarian capital.

Their 12-year-old daughter, Tali, will be portrayed by Isla Gie. About the character, Variety wrote that “she is sick of being treated like a child.
