ANDREA TORRES has played lead roles in shows like “Sana ay Ikaw na Nga”, “Ang Lihim ni Annsandra” and she shone brightly in her role as Sisa in “Maria Clara at Ibarra” where her portrayal got much acclaim.
So a lot of folks are surprised when she agreed to play a villain role in “Love Before Sunrise” that starts airing this Monday night on GMA Telebabad.
“Wala namang problema kasi idol ko talaga si Bea Alonzo,” she says.
“Nung lumipat pa lang siya sa GMA, nasabi ko na sa sarili ko na, sana, mabigyan ako ng chance to work with her.
"I’ve seen her movies with John Lloyd Cruz at hanga talaga ako sa kanilang dalawa.
"Si John Lloyd, nakatrabaho ko na sa sitcom na ginawa niya with GMA, so now, I welcomed naman the opportunity of working with Bea.”
It also helped that their lead actors are Dennis Trillo and Sid Lucero, who are both formidable in drama.
“We all know the calibre of Dennis and Sid pagdating sa acting,” she adds.
“They are both multi award-winning actors so it’s a great challenge to work with them.
"Sa story kasi, Bea and Dennis first fell in love with one another but hindi sila nagkatuluyan to some personal problems. So si Dennis met me and si Bea naman, si Sid.”
But as luck would have it, Bea and Dennis cross each other’s path again after many years.
“Yes, they meet again by chance and realize na they still have feelings pala for each other, so doon nagsimula ang complications sa story involving the four of us,” adds Andrea.
“I’m just thankful sa GMA na naisip nilang isama ako sa cast ng series na ito na puro batikan ang mga kasama ko. Salamat talaga sa napakalaking trust na ibinigay nila sa akin.”
She says she has been observing Bea on the set during their taping and she personally how dedicated Bea is to her profession as an actress.
“I noticed that she really studies script in detail. Inaaral niyang mabuti and there are things in it na usually, di mo na mapapansin, little things lang, but siya, napapansin and kinu-question niya para malinaw ang lahat sa kanya.
"Sa bagay, ganun din si John Lloyd, metikuloso sa script, so pareho sila, kaya sila nagtatagal sa industriya.”
She enjoyed doing her dramatic scenes in the show.
“Marami kaming dramatic confrontation scenes ni Bea and I admit na laging may kaba sa dibdib ko before we shoot.
"But sa harap ng kamera, nawawala yun, kasi very supportive si Bea sa eksena.
"I really enjoyed working with her, Dennis and Sid. Lahat sila, magaang katrabaho so masaya kami sa set.”
