In the continuing buildup towards
Star Cinema’s latest film adaptation of iconic Filipina super-heroine “Darna,”
the name of Liza Soberano had once been intimately tied to the project, as the
title character to boot. Unfortunately, a rather nasty injury on the set of her
last ABS-CBN teleserye put a damper on those plans. By the time Jane De Leon
was cast to replace her, Liza was already in the US for her series of
operations to fix her finger bone fracture, to great success. During that time
there was a blank as to what production she might join next. Now it is
revealed, and she will be joined by her love team partner Enrique Gil.
As ABS-CBN News tells it, there is already a new teleserye under
development at the Kapamilya network, and it will star the ever-popular Lizquen
tandem of Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil. This was shared to social media on
Wednesday, August 28, via a video-log entry from Liza’s manager Ogie Diaz. The
video depicted Lizquen in a recent story conference regarding the upcoming
ABS-CBN TV series that they will headline. Diaz did not share any further
details on the new show, other than the name of its assigned director, Richard
Arellano.
When the two themselves were
queried regarding the show, Liz and Quen made mention that the character roles
being crafted for Soberano in particular is somewhat different from what she
has done before. The two operative words that Gil dropped about his partner’s
latest onscreen character were “spunky” and “sexy,” which could cover a lot of role
archetypes in general. For her part, Liza has mentioned that her finger bone
fracture recovery has been progressing well enough that she could engage in
physical workout. In addition, she has taken advantage of the lull between
projects by resuming her academic studies, even as Enrique has been busy with
his small business.
The new ABS-CBN teleserye is
being produced by Star Creatives, the TV arm of Star Cinema. Enrique Gil has
described the drama as “super exciting” and one that fans of their on- and
off-screen pairing will certainly enjoy. He also addressed their fans whom he
felt might have been left in the lurch with how long they have not returned to
active acting. “I know you guys are disappointed…but don’t be sad, we are here,”
Gil remarked in the post-story conference video, also adding. “We’ll be coming
out again soon.”
Additional projects for Lizquen
aside from the in-development Kapamilya drama include another movie. While the
teleserye itself is nearing full production, the two can be counted on to be
present at the upcoming ABS-CBN Ball.
