Camila Vargas (played by Veronica Falcon) has been a formidable feature in Queen of the South ever since the very beginning of the USA Network drama. The cartel queenpin has faced her fair share of action-packed storylines, from the betrayal of righthand man James Valdez (Peter Gadiot) to a bitter rivalry with series lead Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga). But now fans will be able to get to see her in a very different role.
Falcon had already teased a move away from Queen of the South on her Instagram page – hinting at a “transformation”.
Taking to her account on Wednesday, she shared a snap of her having her nails done with the caption: “#becomingcatherine …Here we go!
“Starting the transformation for….soon to be announced [wink emoji] I’ll keep you posted, promise. #backtowork finally! #grateful #goodnight.”
And it didn’t take long for fans of the USA Network drama to presume she was talking about reprising the role of Camila.
