* ItsAllAboutMe: PlayedForLaughs with Rogelio. Whenever characters make big life announcements to the Villanueva family, he is usually the first to respond, and usually makes the news about himself.


Added DiffLines:

* SitcomArchNemesis: Esteban to Rogelio. In addition to competing for roles and awards with Rogleio, Esteban also has a habit of pursuing Rogelio's ex's. He's a SmugSnake, but isn't without his PetTheDog moments and certainly isn't as villainous as the show's ''actual'' villains (or Petra pre-DefrostingIceQueen for that matter).

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: Petra and Rogelio are the only two characters who never share a storyline together, with the closest thing being Rogelio's ShowWithinAShow serving as a CoincidentalBroadcast helping Petra's hostage escape in Season 1. The two only interact in a Season 3 scene that lasts less than a minute, where both struggle to understand the other's accent.

** There are many hints that [[spoiler:the LatinLover Narrator is a grown up Mateo]]. [[spoiler:When Jane tells Mateo he can read her novel when he's older, the Narrator mentions that he's now read it immediately after. The narrator claims to be good at telling twins apart since he's had a lot of experience with twins - which makes sense as he grew up with Anna and Elsa. In the episode where Mateo receives an ADHD diagnosis the Narrator is also acting oddly, confessing that he's got a hard time keeping focus at various points throughout the episode]].
