In a confirmed and much-anticipated announcement, Yassi Pressman, the well-known actress surrounded by controversy, is set to make her triumphant return to GMA Network. The exciting news includes her introduction as the new lead actress paired opposite Ruru Madrid.
The two talented artists will be paired in the upcoming action-drama series by GMA Public Affairs titled “Black Rider.”
A sneak peek into Yassi’s preparation for her role was showcased on “Chika Minute,” a segment of “24 Oras,” providing viewers with a glimpse of her firearm training as she gears up for her much-anticipated reentry into the Kapuso Network.
Yassi’s enthusiasm for her new project is palpable, and she’s eager to embrace the fresh opportunities that await her in her Kapuso journey.
“Feeling ko po magiging challenging po siya for sure. Maraming mga motor. Action. ‘Yung character din po ni Vanessa kasi hindi ko pa po siya nagawa noon,” Yassi explained.
This marks the second collaboration between Yassi and Ruru. Their initial project was the film “Video City.” They also shared the screen in the Kapuso thriller series “Dormitoryo” back in 2013.
Yassi further elaborated, “As an actor din po, dahil napapanood ko rin ‘yung ‘Lolong’ siyempre na-excite din po ako makita kung ano po ang magagawa namin together.”
Ruru echoed Yassi’s sentiments, saying, “Ten years ago na rin pero nandun pa rin ‘yung trust namin sa isa’t isa bilang magkatrabaho. Na-feel namin ‘yun sa ‘Video City’ and I’m sure dito sa ‘Black Rider’ ibang timpla naman ‘yung maipapakita namin kumbaga ng team up naming dalawa.”
Joining the ensemble cast of “Black Rider” are also Kylie Padilla, Matteo Guidicelli, Jon Lucas, Rainier Castillo, Katrina Halili, Zoren Legaspi, Gladys Reyes, Empoy, Jayson Gainza, Janus del Prado, and several other remarkable talents.
