In an official statement released Monday afternoon, ABS-CBN head of Corporate Communications Bong Osorio said it was Fuentes herself who resigned from the show:
“Ms. Amalia Fuentes has resigned as actress for the upcoming teleserye, Muling Buksan ang Puso, due to creative differences with the production team and the challenges and demands of regular taping schedules. Her resignation has been accepted and her replacement will be announced soon.”

“Muling Buksan Ang Puso” could have revived the rivalry between the two major actresses, which are considered movie queens of the ’60s. In the said teleserye, the two will be competing for the love of one man to be played by Dante Rivero.
Tagged as this year’s most ambitious and biggest teleserye, “Muling Buksan Ang Puso” is directed by Nuel Crisostomo Naval and Manny Palo, featuring an ensemble of actors including Julia Montes, Enrique Gil, Enchong Dee, Dante Rivero, Agot Isidro, Dominic Ochoa, Daniel Fernando, Malou Crisologo, Pooh, and Ms. Cheri Gil.
