JENNYLYN MERCADO is glad to be working again with her real life inamorato, Dennis Trillo, in the last story featured in GMA-7’s hit primetime drama anthology, “I Can See You”. She and Dennis co-star with Rhian Ramos in the romance-mystery drama, “Truly. Madly. Deadly”.
“It’s nice to get to work with Dennis and each other again,” says Jen. “Antagal na nung soap naming ‘The Faithful Husband’, e. Five years ago pa. That was heavy drama, so kakaiba naman itong ginawa namin ngayong ‘Truly. Madly. Deadly’ dahil it has a touch of mystery. Ibang DenJen ang mapapanood nyo rito kasi hindi ito basta pa-tweetums lang. Ibang-iba yung kuwento.”
What’s her role in the story?
“Ako si Coleen, a career woman na naiskandalo sa social media after I was implicated with a married man. So minabuti kong mag-lie low muna and I left the city to try working in a place called Paradise Resort in a distant province to start anew and have a more peaceful life.
"Doon ko naman makikilala si Dennis as Drew, an information technology expert na mahiwaga ang pagkatao. Okay na sana ang buhay ko roon, tahimik na, until yung best friend ko na naging mortal enemy ko, si Rhian nga in the role of Abby, biglang dumating doon sa resort at binubuhay na naman ang nakaraan kong gusto ko nang kalimutan.”
They taped the movie on a lock in location.
“Nanibago si Dennis kasi ngayon lang niya na-experience ang lock in setup. E, ako, galing sa lock in taping ng ‘Descendants of the Sun’ kaya mas sanay na ako. Buti na nga lang daw, ako ang kasama niya rito. Kapag kami ang magkasama, wala na kaming social distancing.
"Dennis is so generous kasi part ng talent fee niya, sine-share niya sa staff and crew na kasama sa taping dahil mas babad ang mga ito sa trabaho. Tulong na niya sa kanila and sign of appreciation kasi sila ang pinakamaagang nagigising at pinaka-late natutulog sa taping.”
Joining the talented cast of this unforgettable episode is Jhoana Marie Tan and with the special participation of Ruby Rodriguez.
“Truly. Madly. Deadly” is directed by Jorron Lee Monroy. Don’t miss it in GMA-7’s ‘I Can See You’ starting this Monday night right after “Encantadia”.
