Vic Palmero
Dr. Victor "Vic" Garcia Lantigua Palmero (Emiliano Díez) is Angie's wealthy father, Emilina's ex-husband, George's father-in-law, and Carmen, Max, and Veronica's grandfather. He is a Cuban immigrant who became rich as a cardiac surgeon when he arrived in America. When trying to explain Carmen needs birth control pills for safe sex, later in the show, Vic says he lost his virginity in a field "with the sound of revolution in the background". When Angie's boyfriend before George seemed only to be attractive to Angie because of his looks, Vic paid him off to break off their relationship to teach her "the attraction was just physical, the looks don't matter", which lead to her marrying George ("Evedently, the lesson sunk in").
George is often annoyed by his stories about Cuba and his expressions, earning comical, sarcastic remarks. Originally, Vic strongly disapproved of Angie marrying George (In "A Kiss is Just a Kiss," it was revealed that as he walked Angie down the aisle on her wedding day he told her to leave George), even saying "when you make waffles, you always toss out the first one"; he later said he tailored his message to the moment as he told his other daughter "don't let this one go". He eventually accepts George as a good match for his daughter, as his son and other daughter's marriages ended in failure while Angie is still married. His wife, Angie's mother, Emilina, cheated on him by having a pro-longed affair and they divorced early in season 3. (Vic says he learned of it as, "Last week I went to her dermatology clinic to surprise her. And I walked in on her checking a man for moles in a place where sun damage is not a possibility!").
He has a brother, Octavio Palmero. Vic and George went out to the Atlantic Ocean to pull Octavio out of the ocean and bring him to American soil as a surprise anniversary gift from George to Angie. Vic and Octavio later get drunk and brag about kicking Fidel Castro's butt. While they are talking, George bursts through the door dressed as Castro, and shouts in a thick Cuban accent,"It's Go-time!" scaring the living day lights out of Vic and Octavio, who soon chase after him in anger.
Vic later became engaged to a 27-year-old woman, Lindsay Cafferty (played by Stacy Keibler), but later discovered she was cheating on him with a younger man and decided to go back to Emilina, who had indicated that she wanted them to get back together. Unfortunately, she died before they could reunite. Vic despises Fidel Castro; in Carmen's Dating, when George tells him that Castro died, he is irrepressibly thrilled. He speaks with a thick Cuban accent at which George pokes fun of many times. George states that Vic's heavy Cuban accent makes every sign sound angry. Vic was shown to have a romantic interest in Benny, even kissing her a few times in a way more intense than that of "just in-laws." He also says "oye chico" or "Cuba" or "Castro" and George tells him in one episode that he will have to pay him 1 dollar to say those words in his house. Vic does not care. He starts to say all those words and dropping 1 dollar bills all over the place, before he says "what-cha" (George's catchphrase) to George in his own house. One of his catch phrases is "Ay Dios Mio" meaning "Oh My God" in Spanish and he has 2 daughters and 1 son. Vic hates his low despicable son Ray and tries to keep his granddaughter Veronica from going down the same path.
