Yasmien Kurdi Will Have Her Malignant Throat Cyst Removed Right After 'Rhodora X' Ends

YASMIEN KURDI is pleased with her new co-star in “Rhodora X”, transferee from ABS Martin del Rosario. “Very professional siya kaya okay katrabaho,” she says. “Pagdating sa set, memorized na niya ang mga linya from the script. Okay rin siyang kausap, he communicates. At ang guwapo rin. Ang ganda ng mukha.”

How about her other leading man, Mark Anthony Fernandez? Is it true Mark is difficult to work with now that he’s having marital problems with wife Melissa with whom he is in a “cool off” situation? “Okay naman siya. Sabi nila, laging nale-late. Pero hindi totoo. Never siyang na-late sa taping. Hindi naman namin napag-uusapan ang personal life niya kaya wala akong alam about him and his wife.”

Did she really complain because Jennylyn Mercado’s talent fee is reportedly higher than hers? “Ay, wala namang kaso sa’kin yun. Unang-una, she plays the title role. Tapos, ang tagal ko ring nawala sa showbiz nang mag-asawa ako’t magka-baby. Kababalik ko pa lang kaya hindi issue sa akin ang talent fee. Lalo na with regards to Jen kasi magkaibigan kami. Alam nyo ba, magka-birthday pa sila ng mister kong si Rey noong May 17. Isa pa, happy ako sa show naming ‘Rhodora X’. Ang dami talagang nanonood kaya proud akong maging part nito. Matatapos na kami next week at huwag kayong bibitiw kasi bawat episode, may pasabog talaga. Sobrang suspenseful ng bawat eksenang kinukunan dahil hindi nyo mahuhulaan kunsaan dadalhin ng characters namin ni Jen na sina Angela at Rhodora/Roxanne ang twists and turns ng kuwento. Tiyak na mae-entertain nang husto ang viewers. And after this, magpapa-opera na ko to remove the cyst in my throat that doctors say can be malignant.”
