Joross Gamboa and Roxanne Guinoo-Yap reacted to getting compared to the 1973 sitcom John En Marsha at the media conference for the third season of Hoy, Love You, with the press, including LionhearTV, on September 21.
Guinoo-Yap considered getting compared to the classic sitcom pairing of Dolphy Quizon and Nilda Blanca as a privilege and pressure.
“Siyempre ibang level ‘yun pero mine-make sure namin na ibang–na tatatak din kami na as JoRox siyempre. Privilege and advantage ‘yun for us, and also pressure ‘yun.”
She also highlighted how their pairing since entering showbiz helped build chemistry and rapport over the years.
“And sigyuro ‘yung sa JoRox, malaking factor talaga na pag original love team kayo eh, kahit anong i-break sa inyo, kahit sinong i-partner sa inyo, mag-e-end up kayo pa rin. And siguro nga ‘yung rapport, alam na namin ‘yung chemistry talaga, alam na namin ‘yung isa’t-isa.
“And kahit may kanya-kanya na kaming pamilya, alam na namin kung paano namin–ito lagi rin akong gina-guide nito, kahit minsan nga eh siya na nagdadala sa akin. So wala ng ilangan ‘yung ganon di ba?”
Gamboa emphasized that the support of their fans helped them stay relevant throughout the years.
“Ang maganda kasi dito, hindi as JoRox ‘yung palabas, kaming lahat dito eh. Kumbaga, ang bida dito ay ‘yung istorya na kinukwento ng Hoy Family. So ‘yun ‘yung talagang– siyempre nakaka-ano rin ‘yung JoRox, alam namin na may mga mommies diyan na who watch.
“Pero ang kagandahan dito ay lahat makaka-relate. Kumbaga hindi lang ‘yung mga JoRox fans, pati ‘yung Papa Doms fans.”
