Bea, Gerald, and Julia–got embroiled in a love triangle controversy in 2019, when Alonzo accused Anderson of ghosting him for Barretto.
Both Gerald and Julia recently admitted about their relationship after multiple denials in 2019 and last year.
Julia has also previously shared her willingness to play the role of a mistress if given a chance.
In an interview with MJ Felipe and Bianca Gonzalez in September 2020, she revealed that she’s a huge fan of the Korean version of Dr. Foster, The World of the Married–and that she would love to play the role of the mistress Da Kyung.
“I wanna do something like that… What I wanna be, Da Kyung, the young girl. If you’ve seen it, you would know. She’s the young girl there, she’s so pretty.”
Bea, on the other hand, although she already left Star Magic is still willing to do a project with ABS-CBN if there’s an offer.
Whether an offer to do the project, there is no confirmation as of yet.
For Gerald Anderson, he’ll be part of the upcoming Kapamilya political drama Init Sa Magdamag which will premier on Monday, April 19.
