THERE’S NO DOUBT that “Villa Quintana” made the Janine Gutierrez-Elmo Magalona love team one of the most popular on local TV. So it’s no surprise that GMA-7 is bringing them back together again in a new series, still untitled, but to be directed by Andoy Ranay, who megged the hit “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real” and, on the big screen, the movie of the James Reid-Nadine Lustre love team.
“We want to thank the GMA management for their continued trust in us,” says Janine. “Once again, we promise to give our best to make sure this will be a show that will easily endear itself to the heart of our viewers, just like ‘Villa Quintana’.”
Elmo, in turn, is only too happy to be working with Janine once again. It’s common knowledge that they’re now an item, off and on cam. “Our new show will be another family drama with a beautiful love story,” he says. “Abangan nyo this coming November.”
Supporting them in their new show are Jaclyn Jose, the comebacking team of Leni Santos and Rey PJ Abellana (whose love team was a big hit in the original ‘Anna Liza’ in the 80s), Enzo Pineda, Mayton Eugenio, Mikoy Morales, Stephanie Sol and newcomer Coleen Borgonia who was so good as the young Nova Villa in the Cinemalaya entry, “First Ko si Third”.
