MAX COLLINS is currently being seen regularly in the replay of “Innamorata” on GMA-7’s Afternoon Prime, but she has now also started lock in taping for a new soap, “To Have and To Hold”. 


This is her comeback project after giving birth to her and Pancho Magno’s first child, Skye Annakin, who was born in July of last year. 


She admits having some anxiety leaving her son while she’s away on lock in taping, but she’s confident hubby Pancho will take good care of their baby boy. 


In “To Have and to Hold”, she will share topbilling with Carla Abellana and Rocco Nacino. Max and Rocco first got to work together in the soap “The Good Daughter” in 2012. 


“To Have and to Hold” was first assigned to Derek Ramsay, who’s now so busy with Ellen Adarna so he backed out. 


Rocco says he doesn’t mind being a replacement for Derek as he’s just so happy to be back to work after his stint in “Owe My Love”. 


“It’s a great role,” he says. “I play a husband who was hurt by his wife, played by Max, then I meet Carla who gives me hope. The story is about betrayal and redemption in relationships that people can easily relate with.” 


As for Max and Carla, they’ve worked together before in an episode of the drama anthology, “Karelasyon”, entitled “Martir”. 


“So we’re all fine kasi nagkatrabaho na kaming lahat before,” says Max. “I’ve also worked with Carla’s fiance, Tom Rodriguez, in ‘Someone to Watch Over Me’ so we’re really comfortable with each other.” 


For sure the stars of “To Have and To Hold” will not be linked with each other since everyone knows Rocco has just married non-showbiz bride Melissa Gohing. 


Max is happily married to Pancho and Carla will tie the knot soon in October with Tom who’s now also busy with the lock in taping of his soap with Alden Richards, “The World Between Us”.  


In “To Have and To Hold”, Max and Rocco will play a married couple, Dominique and Gavin Ramirez. 


They seem so happy together but a big scandal will tear their relationship apart. 


Carla will play Erica Gatchalian, a woman who will later figure in Rocco’s life.


All the show’s cast and crew underwent the required swab test before the taping started and all of them got negative results.
