The two young stars seemingly acknowledged something special started between them, when they worked together, two years ago.
In a heartfelt moment that aired during last night’s episode of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) Celebrity Collab Edition, housemates Will Ashley and Bianca de Vera finally confronted the lingering awkwardness between them, stemming from a special friendship that began two years ago on the set of the ABS-CBN and GMA Network crossover drama Un-break My Heart.
The Kapuso actor and Kapamilya actress, who once captivated audiences as an on-screen love team, opened up about their past connection and the emotional distance that followed, offering fans a glimpse into their unresolved feelings.
The tension between Will and Bianca has been a recurring topic inside the PBB house over the past few weeks. Both have acknowledged the awkwardness of living under the same roof, given their history. Fans of the pair, who affectionately dubbed them “WillCa” during their Un-break My Heart days, have been eagerly watching for signs of reconciliation—or perhaps something more. Will has often teased a possible romantic spark with his playful gestures toward Bianca, much to the delight of viewers rooting for a rekindled bond. Meanwhile, Bianca has expressed a willingness to reconnect, though she’s remained cautious about defining what that might entail.
Adding a twist to the dynamic is fellow Kapuso housemate Dustin Yu, who has openly expressed admiration for Bianca, stirring speculation about a potential love triangle. This development seemed to push Will to finally lay his cards on the table during an emotional exchange with Bianca last night.
“I wanna be friends with you. Kasi alam ko na isa ka sa mga makakaintindi talaga sa akin,” Will began, his voice soft but sincere.
“I just want to take the opportunity to tell you what I feel, because I can’t tell you this tomorrow, kasi wala akong lakas ng loob talaga. Kilala mo naman ako, di ba? I just want to tell you na, I appreciate you. You helped me a lot. I hope alam mo ‘yun.”
Bianca, visibly moved, responded, “Thank you. That took you two years to tell me.” Her words hinted at a quiet longing for closure—or perhaps validation—she might have carried since their time together ended.
Reflecting on their past, Will credited Bianca for being a source of strength during a challenging period while filming Un-break My Heart.
“The support you gave me, two years ago, never ko ‘kong makakalimutan,” he said. “September to October, nakilala natin ang isa’t isa. I value you a lot!” .
For Bianca, the moment was bittersweet. “I’m just listening to you, but grateful ako na na-open up mo ‘yun ngayon, because I never got to hear those words from you for the past two years,” she admitted. “Na-appreciate din kita.”
The conversation took a hopeful turn as both expressed a desire to move forward.
“I just hope na maging okay talaga itong, let’s say, second chance,” Will said, suggesting a regret over lost time. “.
Kung paano kita nakikita everyday, kasi hindi naman talaga natin nakita ‘yung isa’t isa, kung paano talaga tayo?” Bianca echoed his sentiment, adding, “The bond that we had two years ago, hindi man maibabalik yun like before, but we can start. We can start a new friendship.”
Will, known for his reserved nature, surprised viewers with his openness. “Gusto ko talaga maging comfortable ka sa akin,” he told Bianca, encouraging her to confide in him as he hopes to do the same.
He even acknowledged Dustin’s growing closeness with Bianca, assuring her, “Whatever happens, ire-respect ko. Basta kung saan ka happy.” Yet, despite his willingness to step back, his words carried an undercurrent of hope that their connection could deepen.
The exchange ended on an unresolved note when Bianca, overwhelmed, asked to pause the conversation. “I think that’s a lot for me, but I appreciate you opening up to me,” she said, promising to revisit it tomorrow.
Later, speaking to Big Brother, Will reflected on the stakes of their interrupted bond. “Sayang po ‘yung ganoong relationship na nabubuo, na napupunta sa wala,” he confessed. “Gusto ko pong i-treasure ‘yung napagsamahan. Ayaw ko lang po dumating sa point na, manghinayang.”
As the housemates navigate their evolving relationships, fans are left wondering: will Will and Bianca’s “second chance” blossom into something more, or will Dustin’s presence shift the dynamic entirely?
For now, the PBB house remains a simmering pot of emotions, with last night’s episode proving that some connections, even interrupted, refuse to fade quietly.
