During the third season (1997), the show had a makeover. Some of the most melodramatic and heavy storylines were dropped and the Rincón de Luz original orphanage was closed and reopened on a new, even more picturesque house. In the fourth season (1998), the show got a new logo and graphics. Starring alongside Romina Yan was Facundo Arana who played her romantic partner. The fourth season was the highest rated season of "Chiquititas" during its seven-year run, and Arana went on to become Argentina's most popular leading actor and one of the biggest names in the country. The fourth season album was one of the best-selling albums in Sony Music Argentina's history. In 1998, Romina Yan, Facundo Arana and a good chunk of the young cast were ready to say goodbye and the fourth-season finale was the end of a cycle, with Belen (Yan) and Alejo (Arana) adopting all kids. The final scene had the complete cast waving goodbye in the middle of the sea, boarding the iconic Fragata Libertad and singing the song "En el Comienzo". Romina Yan and Facundo Arana reunited in 2001 to star in the movie version of the show.
