It’s something that I haven’t done in a soap before and, as usual, I can’t give details yet but I’m sure the viewers will really like it.

Dong and I have talked about it and we decided that we will go on with our respective projects, and if God wills that we have another baby, that’s the time when I will take things slowly,” Marian openly replied. “Sa ngayon, we have Zia and we’re very happy. Kung bibigyan kami ng bagong baby, we will be very happy, but kung wala pa, tuloy lang ang buhay.”

Teleserye ni Jennylyn, pinagdedebatehan

Nagbabalik sa primetime block ng GMA-7 si Jennylyn Mercado sa The Cure bilang si Charity na asawa ni Tom Rodriguez. Balik din siya sa drama dahil ang last teleserye niyang My Love From The Star ay rom-com at adapted from a hit K-drama. First time rin nilang magtat- ambal ni Tom at inunahan na ni Dennis Trillo ang mga magtata- nong, hindi niya pagseselosan ang pagtatambal ng GF at kaibigan. The same way na hindi nagseselos si Jennylyn kay Lovi Poe na partner ni Dennis sa The One That Got Away. Matatanong din tiyak si Jennylyn sa engaged issue sa kanila ni Dennis dahil sa suot na singsing sa pinost na picture nila ng aktor. May pa- hayag na ang aktor sa engagement issue, tingnan natin kung pareho ang sagot nila ni Jennylyn. Pinag-uusapan at pinagdedebate- han na ang The Cure. Nakakatuwa lang na marami rin ang nagtatanggol sa sinasabing first post-apocalyptic show on TV ito at hindi tungkol sa zombie. Sakit na Monkey Virus Disease (MVD) ang tema nito. First teleserye rin ng GMA-7 ang The Cure na gagamit ng canon C-300 camera at makikita ang kaibahan ng texture nito sa trailer pa lang.
