RHIAN RAMOS is the only member of “Love of My Life” who has experienced lock in taping when she did the “Truly. Madly. Deadly” episode of “I Can See You”.
They’re about to start their taping now for "Love of My Love" and her co-stars Carla Abellana, Coney Reyes and Mikael Daez have yet to experience lock in taping so they asked her for tips.
“What I’ve realized is maganda kung meron kang dalang sarili mong maliit na washing machine,” she says. “Lalo ngayon, more than three weeks yung lock in taping namin so kahit magdala ka ng enough clothes, you’d still need to wash some of your private things na puede mo na lang isampay sa loob ng iyong own bathroom to dry.”
Her performance as a lesbian admirer of Jennylyn Mercado in “I Can See You” got very positive feedback, specially the kissing scene they did.
“I support the LGBTQ community and this is not naman the first time I did such a role kasi lesbian din ako in ‘The Rich Man’s Daughter’,” she says. “Yes, nag-trending daw yung kissing scene namin ni Jen and it’s good hindi na-edit out yun ng MTRCB.
"I think viewers will get to appreciate more and understand ang plight ng gays kung realistic ang portrayal ng such scenes on screen. We already know naman na this is part of real life. Bakit kapag straight, handang-handa tayong i-explore lahat?
"Na lahat pinapakita natin kung paano sila ma-in love, ’yung buong kuwento napapakita natin. Tapos, kapag gay roles or lesbian roles, parang iniiwasang maging more realistic ang ipinapakita sa kuwento.”
She’s looking forward to taping fresh new episodes of “Love of My Life”.
“Seven months na rin since matigil ang taping namin in March due to the lockdown,” she says. “To prepare, I’ve watched our past episodes on youtube to refresh myself about the story and my role as Kelly, yung dating girlfriend ni Tom Rodriguez with whom may anak siya.
"Carla naman plays Adele, the wife of Tom who he married before he died of the big C, Tita Coney is his mom and Mikael is his younger brother na magkakagusto sa akin. I’m really looking forward to continue our taping with them, and with our director, Don Michael Perez.
"Andami na kasing followers ng show na nagtatanong kung kailan kami magpapatuloy dahil nabitin sila sa mga tarayan namin nina Carla and Tita Coney sa show.”
