Janine Gutierrez, who portrays Alexa in the popular Kapamilya series ‘Dirty Linen,’ recently spoke about her experience in tackling this groundbreaking character.
In a recent press conference marking the show’s finale, Janine shared insights into her role and the impact it has had on her career.
The actress acknowledged the unique challenges that came with her role, which she initially felt might be unexpected for her based on her appearance. She recalled past comments that had stereotyped her acting capabilities due to her mestiza looks.
However, Janine emphasized that her role as Alexa allowed her to shatter these preconceived notions and break free from limitations imposed by her physical appearance.
Janine expressed gratitude for the trust and confidence placed in her by the production team. Her character, Alexa, is multi-dimensional and morally ambiguous, making it a highly fulfilling role for an actress seeking depth and complexity in her performances.
“Dati kasi may nagsasabi sa akin na hanggang diyan lang, hindi ka pwedeng mag-play ng ganyang role kasi mestiza ka. Sabi nila, hanggang yan lang ang magagawa mo dahil sa itsura mo,” Janine explained.
The actress went on to praise the show’s well-crafted storyline and the outstanding performances of the entire cast. ‘Dirty Linen’ has earned widespread acclaim for its gripping narrative and unexpected plot twists, making it a standout in the world of Philippine television.
Janine also touched on the series’ remarkable impact on viewers and its emergence as a trending topic. The show’s innovative storytelling and character development have garnered a dedicated following, with fans eagerly anticipating each episode.
As ‘Dirty Linen’ approaches its conclusion, the intense rivalry between the families of Alexa and Aidan (played by Zanjoe Marudo) reaches a crescendo. The series has not only challenged traditional norms in the TV industry but has also set a new standard for teleseryes in the Philippines.
