Eric is Dennis Trillo’s name in “My Husband’s Lover” and she has always been very vocal about her crush on Dennis, who claims he’s amused with her. Doesn’t she know that Dennis is a heartbreaker and she can ask Carlene Aguilar, Jennylyn Mercado and Bianca King about this?
“E, ganun nga po ang gusto ko, ‘yung may pagka-bad boy. At saka hanga talaga ko sa galing niya bilang actor. Effortless.”
Someone asks: E, papano kung patulan ka nga ni Dennis at ligawan? “Sige na nga po, patulan na, ligawan na niya ko!” she exclaims then laughs. “Kinikilig? Ang landi!”
What if they’re paired in a show? “Okay, kahit libre, gagawin ko.”
In “Anna Karenina”, she plays a “babaeng bakla” who faints each time she’d see her crush, Derrick Monasterio? “Ay ngayon, hindi na po ko hinihimatay. Sabi ni Direk Gina Alajar, redundant na, kaya nasanay na ko sa kanya. Pero nakakatuwa, very positive ang feedback sa performance ko. Naiiba kasi sa usual roles kong api-apihan like in ‘Nita Negrita’ and ‘Paroa’. At lahat kami, tuwang-tuwa kasi pataas ng pataas ang rating ng show namin. Lately, tinatalo na raw namin yung katapat namin. As Karen,nagsisipsip ako kina Juan Rodrigo and Sandy Andolong as our grandparents. Binibigyan ko pa sila ng gatas in their bedroom bago matulog. Feeling close.”
Is it true she’s now at war with rival Bea Binene? “Hindi po. Okay kami, di lang kami nagkikita. When we were doing ‘Luna Blanca’, close kami kasi lagi kaming magkasama sa taping. E, ngayon, walang chance magkita kami.”
How about her co-stars in “Anna Karenina”, Joyce Ching and Krystal Reyes? “Si Joyce, dati ko nang ka-close kasi ilang beses na kami nagkasama. At first, we thought, mahihirapan kami kay Krystal, kasi tahimik lang siya lagi. Pero after one week lang sa taping, close na kami, mas maingay pa siya sa amin.”
