Thea Tolentino Initially Nervous To Play New Villain In Hit Soap, 'Destined To Be Yours', Knowing How Aldub Fans Can Be So Protective Of Their Love Team

THEA TOLENTINO admits she was happy but nervous when she was informed that she will be joining the cast of "Destined to Be Yours", where she now plays Trish, the first girlfriend in college of Alden Richard as Benjie. It was Trish, who broke Benjie's heart when he caught her kissing with a classmate, played by newcomer James Teng.

"Siempre, medyo kinabahan ako kasi we all know how protective and AlDub fans sa love team nila," she says. "Naisip kong tiyak na maba-bash ako. Kaya pinauna ko na agad sa fans nilang wag nilang seseryosohin ang pang-aagaw na gagawin ko kay Alden dahil trabaho lang po ito."

So how is it so far? "Okay naman. Both Alden and Maine are friendly, easy to get along with. Si Alden, nagpakain pa sa restaurant niya, yung Concha's, nung first taping day ko for their show."

Is she replacing Koreen Medina as the show's contravida? "Ay hindi. Nasa eksena pa rin siya. May pagkakikay yung character niya as Marjorie. Ako naman, super maldita na in love pa rin kay Alden kasi walang closure yung aming paghihiwalay. It's because of me kaya si Alden, wala nang sinerseryosong babae sa story. So ngayon, nag-meet uli kami at hahabul-habulin ko siya. Abangan nyo mga eksena namin ni Maine dahil tiyak na magkakaroon kami ng mga tarayan portion. And once again, gustong ko pong ipaalala sa diehard fans niya na trabaho lang po ang lahat, kaya sana, wag silang magagalit sa akin, please."
