Our guess is that she has decided to stay with GMA even if TV5 already has a project for her with Ruffa Gutierrez and Alice Dixson.
Lovi is very pleased with her role as Vivian Paredes in “The Bride and the Lover”. “I’m the daughter of a very wealthy real estate magnate. Best friends kami ni Jennylyn Mercado from grade school. I’m about to marry Paulo Avelino, but on our wedding day, I decided to walk out on him when I learned he had an affair with Jennylyn. I became very bitter and gets transformed to a more assertive aggressive woman. Naging frenemies kami ni Jen lalo na when I heard sila na ni Paulo at sila naman ang ikakasal. Sa wedding nila, sumugod ako and we have a big fight sa Fernwood Gardens na siyang venue ng wedding nila. Nagpagulong-gulong talaga kami, sabunutan, sampalan, suntukan. Pero hindi kami nagkapikunan. We later hugged each other.”
We heard her love scene with Paulo is quite hot. “Actually, yung love scene ko with Ahron Villena, na naghubad ako then jumped into the swimming pool to seduce him, is more daring. Ako kasing initiator doon. When I saw the rushes, nahiya ako sa ginawa ko and I said, delete, delete! But hindi naman nila dinelete so you’d see it sa movie. Kay Paulo, comfortable na ako kasi we’ve done a love scene na rin sa first team up namin, ‘Aswang’.”
Lovi is really busy as she has just finished the Cinemalaya entry for Direk Jerrold Tarog,”Sana Dati”, again with Paulo. She plays a woman whose loved one died and can’t move on. She’s now shooting “Lihis”, also for Direk Joel, with rumored BF Jake Cuenca. “Hindi kami talaga ni Jake. I’m really focused sa work ko lang. It’s with Joem Bascon that I have a love scene in ‘Lihis’, not with Jake kasi gay lover siya ni Joem dito.”
