"The Great American Telenovela" is the second segment of the thirty-first episode of the Disney Channel animated series, Hamster & Gretel.

Synopsis[]

When Carolina is cast in a telenovela, the kids have to stop a saboteur.

Plot[]

During her shift at the hospital, Carolina laments that she has been doing paperwork all day when she is greeted by director Randy with an opportunity to portray a nurse on the telenovela, Fresas de Amor, which she accepts. However, during the filming of the episode, an unknown figure sabotages Carolina's scene, leading Kevin, Hamster, and Gretel to investigate. They first suspect actress Irasema, who reveals that she convinced the writers to put her character in a coma, allowing her to pursue a role in a Taco Crunchies commercial. They next suspect writer Jaime, who has been attempting to cancel the show through outlandish storylines, only to instead attempt to write his own book after failing to dissuade viewers' interest in the show.

Eventually, the culprit is revealed to be a disguised La Cebolla who is exacting revenge on the series for removing her. A battle ensues, with Hamster and Gretel being overpowered by La Ceoblla's onions. Hamster and Gretel convene with Kevin regarding how they can defeat her, with Hamster resolving to pretend to be La Cebolla's long-lost son, much like in a telenovela. The heroes then defeat La Cebolla, but before she is taken to jail, the producer offers her a role in the series as the mannequin in the hospital bed of Carolina's scene, which she accepts.
