After taking an eight-month respite from doing soaps, Jennylyn Mercado is back in the drama scene with actors Sid Lucero and Frank Magalona as her leading men in GMA’s upcoming afternoon drama series Hindi Ka Na Mag-iisa, which will pilot on July 2, replacing Hiram na Puso.
Joining them in the said series are Angelu de Leon, Saab Magalona, Carl Guevarra, Crystal Reyes and Ms. Liza Lorena.
“Excited ako kasi ngayon lang ulit ako magkakaroon ng soap na drama talaga. Nakakatuwa kasi makakatrabaho ko ulit si Sid kasi isa siya sa mga pinakamagagaling na artista at ang sarap niyang katrabaho,” Jennylyn said.
She first worked with Sid in the movie “Rosario,” a 2010 film directed by Albert Martinez.
It’s going to be the first time for Jennylyn, however, to work with the rest of the cast of Hindi Ka Na Mag-iisa.
“Hindi ko pa talaga sila personally kilala. But I’m excited na makasama sila at maka-bonding kasi matagal din kaming magsasama. So, ito na yung chance para makilala ko sila,” she said.
How does she feel now that she’s back doing drama?
“Sabi ko nga, parang nakalimutan ko na yatang umarte. Parang ang alam ko nalang gawin ay dumaldal tsaka kumanta (laughs). Pero alam ko namang tutulungan ako ni Sid dahil si Sid napakagaling na artista and I can say na macha-challenge ako sa kanya. Nakasama ko siya sa ‘Rosario’ at malaki ang naitulong niya sa akin dahil ang galing galing niya,” she said.
Directed by Gil Tejada, Jr., Hindi Ka Na Mag-iisa will air weekday afternoons, after Eat Bulaga on GMA-7.
