On September 6, Kapamilya stars Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin addressed the possibility of taking on ‘Esperanza’ remake.
At the ‘Fractured Grnad Mdeia Day’ event, which LionhearTV covered, Diaz acknowledged the push from her fans to portray the iconic role of Judy Anne Santos in the 1997 Kapamilya series ‘Esperanza.’
“Actually, sobrang aware naman po ako, I mean ibang level po ang Esperanza as we all know naman po, si Miss Judy Ann Santos ang talagang bida doon at siya ‘yung nagbigay buhay kay Esperanza.”
She then expressed her appreciation for the fan-casting stating, “And if ever po mabibigyan ng chance, opo, tatanggapin ko po.”
Her love-team pair, Seth Fedelin, hinted at the possibility of the project, noting how much he would like to work with Diaz.
“Gusto ko, gusto ko, and ngayon, malapit na rin namin simulan, so hopefully, ‘yun ang next naming gagawin ni Francine. ‘Yun po, ipagdasal natin, at gusto ko pa rin na si Francine.
“Basta ano po ‘to, abangan ninyo po talaga, espesyal po ‘to.”
As for their roles in Fractured, Diaz highlighted their character’s maturity in the upcoming iWantTFC series.
“Noong una po kinabahan po kami kasi po may parang kinuwestyon namin na, ‘Pwede na ba ‘to, pwede na ba tayo sa ganito?’ Kasi nga po ‘yung Fractured, may pagka-matured na siya para sa akin na i-play ‘yung ganong roles. Pero, at the same time, na-excite po kami kasi nagsilbing po siyang parang guide sa growth namin as actors and actresses po.”
Fedelin agreed with Diaz, noting how they felt nervous with the series’ mature themes and the characters’ portrayal.
“Kinabahan kami kasi nga ‘yun nagmumura kami dito, malayo sa mga nagawa namin. Kaya pinag-isipan talaga namin kung okay lang bang gumawa nito. And then nandiyan si Direk na maya’t-maya kami nag tatanong kung ano pa ‘yung pwede naming idagdag sa bawat character namin, kung ano pa ‘yung pwede naming idagdag doon. Masaya, masaya dahil panibagong experience, panibagong, mahirap kasi ‘yun, na kaya pala namin mag-mura sa acting.”
