ON-SET CHAOS (Fanfiction Edition) Word across the fandom says Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara’s chemistry hit a “level 11 meltdown” during a late-night rehearsal, with crew in this fictional scenario needing “five whole rewrites” just to cool the atmosphere.
The way they looked at each other had fans screaming: this isn’t performance, this is a collision 😮💫🔥

ON-SET CHAOS: The Night Nicole Wallace & Gabriel Guevara Broke the Internet (A Culpa Mía Fanfiction Fever Dream)
MADRID, 2:47 a.m., Pinewood Studios Spain. The set of Culpa Tuya (the second installment of the Culpa Mía trilogy) was supposed to be filming the infamous “rain-soaked fight-turned-kiss” scene that has lived rent-free in every Noah-and-Nick shipper’s head since the book dropped. Instead, the entire production ground to a halt for almost six hours because Nicole Wallace and Gabriel Guevara turned fiction into something dangerously real.
According to three separate production assistants who spilled the tea in a now-deleted Discord server (screenshots are forever, babies), the rehearsal started out normal: wet cobblestones, fake thunderstorm, the usual. Director Domingo González wanted “raw desperation.” What he got was a level-11 emotional detonation that left even the intimacy coordinator speechless.
“Nicole and Gabriel were doing the blocking,” one source whispered. “And then… they just kept going. No ‘cut.’ No reset. They forgot the lines completely. It stopped being Nick and Noah and became Nicole and Gabriel screaming at each other in a mix of Spanish and English about trust, about timing, about ‘why do you even know what you’re asking me to give up?’ The crew just stood there frozen.”
Another insider claims Nicole’s voice cracked on the line “You ruin me, and I let you,” except she didn’t say it as Noah. She said it as herself, eyes locked on Gabriel, rain mixing with real tears. Gabriel’s response? He dropped the script entirely, cupped her face with both hands, and whispered something too low for the boom mic to catch. Whatever it was made Nicole step back like she’d been burned, shake her head, and walk straight off set into the Madrid night without a coat.
Cue absolute pandemonium.
The script supervisor allegedly had to do five emergency rewrites on the spot because the original dialogue now felt “too prophetic.” One version reportedly included the line “I’d burn the whole world down before I lose you again,” which Gabriel apparently ad-libbed while chasing after Nicole in the rain (yes, the man ran after her barefoot on cobblestone, romance-novel style).
The on-set medic was called when a grip fainted from the tension. Not even joking.
By 4 a.m., producers were begging the two stars to come back inside. Nicole was spotted sitting on a prop crate in the parking lot, soaked to the bone, smoking a cigarette she definitely doesn’t smoke in real life, while Gabriel stood ten feet away looking like a kicked puppy who’d just realized he broke his favorite toy. They didn’t speak. They just stared. For forty-three minutes. Someone timed it.
When they finally agreed to return, the energy was radioactive. The first take they shot after the meltdown? The kiss. And according to every single person who witnessed it, the monitor nearly combusted. No acting. No choreography. Just sixteen seconds of pure collision that had the focus puller muttering “Jesucristo” under his breath and Greta Gerwig (who was visiting the set that week) apparently texting someone “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life.”
The footage is now locked in a vault with higher security than the Oppenheimer script.
TikTok is in shambles. The sound “original audio – culpa tuya set leak” has 4.8 million uses in 24 hours, mostly slow-motion edits of that one blurry paparazzi photo where Gabriel’s thumb is brushing Nicole’s jaw while she looks two seconds away from either kissing him or slapping him. Caption trends include:
“this isn’t acting, this is a divorce in real time”
“tell me you’re endgame without telling me you’re endgame”
“nick and noah could never make me feel the way nicole and gabriel do”
Amazon Prime has stayed ominously silent, but the official Culpa Tuya account did post a black screen with the caption “Some fires can’t be scripted 🔥” before deleting it five minutes later. The internet took that as gospel.
Meanwhile, the fandom has split into three cults:
- The Delulus who are already planning the wedding
- The Protectors praying Nicole never speaks to him again
- The Chaos Gremlins currently writing 200k slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fics based on one rainy night in Madrid
As of press time, neither Nicole nor Gabriel has posted anything. But Nicole’s Spotify just dropped a new private playlist titled “lluvia y cenizas” (rain and ashes) and the first song is “Ex-Factor” by Lauryn Hill. Gabriel, for his part, was spotted liking a fan edit that ends with the text “I’d let you ruin me too.”
So yeah. The Culpa Tuya set didn’t just have chemistry. It had a full-on chemical explosion.
And we’re all still standing in the fallout, covered in ash, begging for more.
