The same goes for LJ Reyes, who played Katrina, a villain to Jennylyn Mercado in the story who tried to steal Jen’s husband, played by Tom Rodriguez. “We ran for one season and I’ll miss the people I’ve worked with, lalo na si Tita Jane (Jaclyn Jose), from whom I learned a lot while doing the show,” she says. “Marami kasi siyang magagandang kuwento about life na sine-share sa’kin habang naghihintay kami ng take. Masaya siyang kasama. At very professional din. Sayang nga kasi noong una, we’re always together sa tent namin, but ngayon, bihira na kaming magkasama kasi magkaiba na ang taping schedules namin.”
“The Cure” is memorable for her as it’s the first time she played an antagonist to Jennylyn. “Memorable sa akin yung confrontation scene namin kasi naging very physical. Nag-away kami talaga complete with sapakan, sakitan. I’m sure matutuwa ang viewers na finally, nakipagtuos sa’kin si Jen kasi marami na kong atraso sa kanya.”
So did they really hurt each other on cam? “Hindi naman. We were careful. Pinag-usapan muna namin at ni-rehearse kung saan kami kunwari magkakatamaan para realistic ang dating. Dito sa 'The Cure' kami talaga naging close kasi marami kaming eksenang magkasama.”
So what must viewers watch out for in the show’s final week? “Naku, maraming pasabog. Magugulat ang viewers sa malalaking eksena. At siempre, malalaman na nila kung ano o sino yung The Cure sa title, na siyang makakagamot sa mga taong infected sa epidemya caused by an experimental drug na nagdudulot ng monkey virus disease. Siempre, alangan namang matapos ang show na wala palang cure. Ang lungkot naman ng ganoong ending. Kailangan, may hope pa rin after yung mga trahedyang pinagdaanan ng mga tao.”
