MARICEL SORIANO is managed by Shirley Kuan, who’s also managing Albert Martinez. Maricel is in GMA-7’s hit primetime soap, “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real”, and it’s directly up against Albert’s “Sana Bukas Pa ang Kahapon” on ABS-CBN. It’s common knowledge Maricel’s show is rating better. How does Shirley feel about this?
“Siempre I want both shows to rate well,” says Shirley. “But I’m happier for Maria kasi this is her comeback show. Her last soap was ‘Vietnam Rose’ pa in 2006. Sobrang tagal na. In ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real’, she gives a great performance and reminds viewers that she remains to be a good actress and is still very much around.”
Maricel sizzles in another much talked about scene: when she takes Dingdong and returns him to his parents, Coney Reyes and Jaime Fabregas because they knew all along that he has been unfaithful to her with Lovi Poe and they hid the truth from her.
