LOVI POE was alarmed when fans of the Tom Rodriguez-Carla Abellana love team bashed her for doing torrid love scenes with Tom in “Someone to Watch Over Me”. “I got worried kasi sabi, tinotoo ko raw yung love scenes with Tom kaya awang-awa sila kay Carla,” says Lovi. “Insensitive daw ako. Hindi ko raw ba naisip that as a woman, I might hurt the feelings of Tom’s loved one.”
To clear things about this issue, Lovi decided to write a message in her social media account: “Recently, Tom and I had a lot of good and negative feedbacks about how ‘believable’ our portrayals are in ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’. It was quite upsetting that people actually put so much color into it, just because we wanted to give our best in our craft.
“Some actors don’t do it half-baked. Some actors don’t settle for less than what is required. Simply because we owe it to our writers, directors, and our bosses who entrusted us with this project. But most especially we owe it to ourselves. An actor’s job is to make every scene believable which I’m completely flattered that we have achieved despite a lot of positive and couple of violent reactions.
“But more than anything else, what I’m really thankful about as an actress and as a person who is passionate about her job is that I found in Tom someone who is equally as passionate as I am… who thankfully has a wonderful partner who has been nothing but supportive, real and such a dear friend to me. Thank you, Carla.
“Mahirap naman talaga trabaho namin, pero nasa tao talaga ‘yun na hindi magpadala sa mga superficial na bagay. Work is work. REAL is different from REEL. And no apologies will be given… unless what I have is less than a job well done.”
This week in “Someone to Watch Over Me”, Tom as TJ continues to lose his memories. He even forgets his anniversary dinner with his wife. With his being forgetful getting worse, Lovi as Joanna suspects he has another woman especially when she sees him looking at the photo of Max Collins as Irene. This made Lovi terribly jealous so she leaves their home with their baby. TJ is with his friend Boy2 Quizon as Paolo but he can no longer remember his friends name. He collapses and the doctor thinks he is having a stroke.
