KATRINA HALILI GLAD TO TAPE AGAIN FOR 'PRIMA DONNAS', REMINDS VIEWERS THAT THEIR NEW EPISODES START AIRING THIS MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9!

KATRINA HALILI says she was so happy to see again all her co-stars in “Prima Donnas” when they were all gathered together in one location for a three-week lock in taping. 



“We really missed each other kasi six months ding natigil ang taping namin dahil sa lockdown at hindi kami nagkita,” she says. “Kaya walang katapusang kuwentuhan ang nangyari nang magkaharap kami uling lahat.”



So what occupied her time during the lockdown? 



“Just like the rest, I stayed at home for safety and spent it bonding with my daughter Katie. Sobrang nakakatuwa kasi malaki-laki na siya and we now enjoy doing things together.”




It’s obvious that she’s now very close with her “Prima Donnas” co-stars Chanda Romero, Aiko Melendez and Wendell Ramos as they all feature each other in their social media accounts and vlogs. 



The younger girls consisting of Jillian Ward, Althea Ablan and Elijah Alejo (minus Sofia Pablo who was not allowed to work during lockdown as she’s underaged) also uploaded footage with them all together in their own youtube channels.




“We have really become one big happy family on the set,” says Katrina, “kasama na pati ang aming director na si Miss Gina Alajar. Lahat kami, sabik na sabik humarap uli sa kamera and do what we all do best, acting and playing our respective roles in ‘Prima Donnas’.”




Katrina as Lillian and Aiko as Kendra are actually mortal enemies in the story. 



Kendra has framed up Lillian for a crime she did not commit and when the series abruptly ended due to the corona virus, Lillian was shown languishing in jail while Kendra is now manipulating things so that Wendell Ramos as Jaime, the man they are both fighting for, can officially tie the knot with her while Lillian is in prison. 




“Magkaaway lang kami sa show pero off camera, we are the best of friends ni Ate Aiko,” says Katrina. “Masarap siyang katrabaho, very considerate. Malayong malayo siya as Kendra sa totoong katauhan niya sa tunay na buhay na walang mean bone in her body. 



"Sa totoo lang, nanibago ako sa role ko dito sa ‘Prima Donnas’ kasi mabait ang character kong si Lillian, e. Nasanay na kasi sa akin ang viewers na ako lagi ang kontrabidang nang-aapi. Ngayon naman, ako yung inaapi, so na-challenge talaga ako at ibang-iba ang atake ko sa role ko rito.”




Katrina wants to remind all the loyal fans of “Prima Donnas” that the fresh new episodes they have taped for the show will start airing this Monday afternoon, November 9. 



“So don’t miss it po kasi napakaraming pasabog na eksena kaming kinunan para sa pagbabalik ng ‘Prima Donnas’,” adds Katrina. “Diyan nyo na malalaman kung ano ang mangyayari kay Lillian at sa mga Donnas.”
