They’ve avoided working together for some time, but now, they’re paired in the hit GMA-7 afternoon soap, “The Stepdaughters”. So how is it so far?
“We felt then that it might be difficult to work with one of us is around as we might get distracted. This is the reason why we made it a point then not to visit each other on the set of the past soaps we did individually. Maski ngayon, when we study the script and memorize our lines, we stay away from each other para hindi kami ma-distract ng presence ng isa’t isa. When we first did a scene together, it was so awkward kasi babatuhin ko siya ng sapatos at di ko magawa, kasi may ilang factor pa rin, but he was the one who reassured me na okay lang kahit matamaan ko siya, kaya raw niya. So doon ko na-realized it’s a matter of changing my perspective. I have to look at him not as my boyfriend but as my co worker on the set. The advantage is that when it’s a kissing scene we’re doing, I feel comfortable kasi I’m doing it with my boyfriend.”
Right now, they’re both happy because “The Stepdaughters” is really capturing the approval of afternoon viewers who follow their every episode. The ratings continue to climb in the charts as the conflict between Megan and her chief adversary, Katrina Halili, continues to get more intense. “Naku, marami pa kaming enkwentro kaya huwag kayong bibitaw,” says Megan. “At pareho kami ni Katrina na bigay na bigay sa aming mga eksena to make sure our regular viewers will always be pleased.”
