On February 1, The Kapamilya series Dirty Linen trended online after netizens praised the cast members’ nuanced ‘mata-mata’ acting during their episode.
The scene plays out as the Fierro family’s scandal comes to the surface, thanks to Alexa (Janine Gutierrez) and her team Rolando (Joel Torre), Max (Christian Bables), and Lalaine (Jennica Garcia).
The entire scene showcased each cast member’s acting prowess, from the seasoned actors to the new Kapamilya artists.
However, showbiz reporter Ogie Diaz posted a cryptic tweet, noting that someone on the scene wasn’t pulling their weight given the praise-worthy performances of the other cast members.
Mata-sa-mata acting ang uso sa “Dirty Linen.” Merong isang artista doon, tamad umarte. Pag umarte naman, bigay todo, halata ang effort. Hindi naka-in character.

As a result, netizens started speculating online about who Diaz was referring to in his tweet.
Netizens have different guesses about who the lazy actor was in the middle of the all-out acting scene in the pilot week of the revenge series.
