The lockdowns triggered by the
COVID-19 pandemic for most of last year did a number on various productions for
film and television, abroad and at home. GMA7 for instance had started work on
a romantic comedy drama series with the pun title of “Owe My Love,” to star
Lovi Poe and Benjamin Alves. Unfortunately the pandemic halted production in
March 2020, resuming only in November. Thankfully the locked-in tapings worked
well enough that “Owe My Love” is finally cleared to premiere this Monday, mere
days after Poe’s 32nd birthday. And what better birthday present can
be had than a Hollywood actor greeting online, and a mention of your upcoming
series?
Inquirer.net reports that last Thursday, February 11, on the occasion of her birthday, actress Lovi Poe was greeted by British actor Tom Felton, aka the malevolently spoiled wizard Draco Malfoy from the “Harry Potter” movie franchise. Not only did Felton deliver birthday greetings to Poe, on a video she shared via her Twitter page, but he even name-dropped “Owe My Love” in his little talk, wishing Lovi the best with her TV rom-com ahead of its premiere right this February 15. The greeting was originally done on the online app Cameo, and was arranged for by Poe’s boyfriend Monty Blencowe.

“To celebrate the fact that you…this
new TV show, ‘Owe My Love,’ well congratu-bloody-lations!” crowed Felton on the
video-feed with the Cameo label on the lower left. Cameo is a US-based video-sharing
website launched in 2017, which allows fans to pay celebrities to record
selfie-video greetings at variable prices. Poe’s boyfriend Monty is the brother
of Martin Blencowe, one of Cameo’s co-founders. Remarking on Twitter about “Malfoy”
greeting her, Lovi expressed absolute kilig
as a proud “Harry Potter” fan and a self-identified member of House
Slytherin, the Hogwarts student house that Felton’s character belongs to.
“Owe My Love” is one of the latest
additions to GMA7’s “Telebabad” programing lineup. Lovi Poe and Benjamin Alves
are joined in the principal cast by Ai-Ai delas Alas, Ruby Rodriguez, Jackie
Lou Blanco, Nova Villa, Ryan Eigenmann , Leo Martinez, Brod Pete and Mahal.
