Charo guest‑starred in Fantasy Island in several episodes between 1981 and 1984. In Episode 5‑5 (“Mr. Nobody / La Liberatora”, first aired November 7, 1981), she plays Dolores DeMurica, “a world‑famous guitarist whose fantasy is to go back to the days of Spanish California and meet her ancestor, the famous El Lobo Rojo.” In another episode titled “Surrogate Mother / The Ideal Woman” (episode 7‑22, May 1994), she appears as Yolanda Morales. These roles are distinct: Charo does not play the same character across her appearances. Her Fantasy Island episodes tend to cast her as someone with an artistic or flamboyant background—often involving music—and occasionally with a fantasy related to family heritage or identity.
In the La Liberatora fantasy, Charo’s Dolores DeMurica arc involves her desire to connect with her lineage and revisit a past era. Her fantasy is fulfilled (as is common in Fantasy Island) through Mr. Roarke’s orchestration, where she meets El Lobo Rojo. The structure of her character arcs generally follows Fantasy Island’s pattern: a guest arrives with a specific, often deeply personal fantasy, confronts challenges along the way, and ultimately receives insight or emotional resolution. In her case, the plots often allow her talents as a musician to be part of the arc (for example, being a world‑famous guitarist), integrating her real life skills into the story.
