ANDREA TORRES feels that her playing the role of the sexy Venus in “Alyas Robin Hood” truly gave her career a big boost. “My past soaps are all in the afternoon and this is my first soap na lead ako on primetime,” she says. “The feedback is really great at ang dami talagang nakakapanood sa akin sa role ko as Venus, who’s so in love with Dingdong Dantes as Pepe na mas in love naman kay Megan Young as Sarri. Maraming tao told me na nakaka-relate sila kay Venus, na ang minamahal na lalaki, may iba namang minamahal. Naaawa nga sila kay Venus. Sobrang mahal ko rin ang show kasi lahat ng mga kasama ko rito, puro mababait, from our directors to the staff and crew and all our co-stars. Naging one big happy family kaming lahat.”
About her rumored relationship with Sef Cadayona (which they never admitted), the latest story is that she broke up with him because she got jealous that Sef is being extra chummy to comedian Gee Canlas (a transferee from ABS-CBN) in “Bubble Gang” and the now defunct “A1 Ko Sa’Yo”. How true?
“How can we break up, never naman naging kami,” she says. “Pero totoong matagal na kaming hindi nagkikita at nagkakausap kasi naging busy ako sa ‘Alyas Robin Hood’.”
As Venus in “Alyas Robin Hood”, Andrea undergoes mind control and is brainwashed to kill Dingdong as Pepe. She tried to harm him but Pepe tells her that he has learned to love her and she breaks down and cries. Megan Young as Sarri has also gone under mind control to fall head over heels in love with villain Sid Lucero as Dean, but she is now getting confused and suspicious because Sid keeps on narrating fake stories about them and yet it’s the image of Dingdong that she keeps on conjuring in her mind. Antonette Garcia as Frida informs Dingdong about this and he takes it upon himself to rescue Megan and release her mind from being controlled by Sid.
