- Joshua Garcia and Janella Salvador team up for an upcoming thriller-romance on ABS-CBN
- Joshua Garcia and Julia Barretto are starting over again as best friends
Joshua Garcia and Janella Salvador are being paired together for the first time.
On Friday, an official media announcement for The Killer Bride was made, detailing how the project was set for an August premiere under the direction of Dado Lumibao. Joshua and Janella are part of the cast of the new show.
The new team-up comes at a perfect time for both Joshua and Janella. A project for the two had been planned as early as 2016, but none of them ever happened.
“Ako, matagal ko na siyang gusto makatrabaho. Nauudlot lang. Ngayon, I’m very happy na makakatrabaho ko na siya. Matututo ako sa kanya, kung paano siya umarte,” Joshua shared.
Janella is also happy to be working with Joshua. “Ako rin, I’m happy to work with Josh. I want to work with different people. It’s refreshing. And I think it’s healthy, because we get to grow as actors and actresses.”
She added, “Actually, challenging ang role na ‘to for the both of us, kasi ang gusto ni direk, sensual — hindi sexual, ha! It’s a bit more mature than kung ano ‘yung mga nagagawa ko before.”
Janella will play the role of Emma who claims to have been possessed by the ghost of Camilla, portrayed by Maja Salvador.
Meanwhile, Joshua plays Elias, who doubts Emma but finds himself drawn to the mysterious woman.
“‘Yung challenge din doon ‘yung may nararamdaman kami sa isa’t-isa, pero kailangan hindi namin ipakita sa isa’t-isa. Ano ba ang sikreto ng babae na ‘to? May galit ako, pero may love pa rin para sa kanya,” Joshua said.
The two may have no major project together until The Killer Bride, but they have already been dubbed by a number of fans online as “JoshNella.”
“We’re happy, kasi may sumu-support, e. May makita ka lang kahit kaunting suporta… ‘Pag artista ka kasi, ‘pag nakita mong sumuporta sa ‘yo, kahit gaano pa kakaunti ‘yan, gaganahan ka talaga mag trabaho. Gagawin mo ‘yun para sa kanila.”
“It makes it more exciting na ‘pag lumabas na ‘yung show, excited kami na mapakita kung ano ‘yung pinag trabahuhan namin,” Janella added.
The two are comfortable working with each other, knowing that Janella is a close friend of Joshua’s “best friend” Julia Barretto.
JoshNella assured fans that there are no issues surrounding their new love team.
Joshua and Janella already shared previous bonding sessions through Julia.
Here’s how netizens reacted on Twitter.
