During a recent press conference, Xyriel Manabat and Andrea Brillantes, stars of the series ‘Senior High,’ expressed their openness to working together in a girls’ love (GL) series.
When asked about the prospect of being paired with a female co-star, Manabat shared that she feels more comfortable working with another female artist. She expressed a preference for on-screen scenes, including kissing scenes, with a female partner, citing a sense of comfort, fewer issues, and less hassle.
Manabat even teased Brillantes about the possibility of collaborating on a girls’ love series.
“Open naman po for any, pero dati kasi bago ako bumalik sa ‘Dirty Linen’ may mga kaasaran po ako, sabi ko ‘pag ikaw, pinormahan ko,’ tas kinakantahan ko siya, tinititigan ko siya sa mata,” Manabat revealed.
She added, “Basta matalik ko po siyang kaibigan, tumatawa siya ngayon, kinikilig siya ngayon, dati kasi inaasar ko siya, … kasi gusto niya rin ‘yung ganoong role.”
Brillantes confirmed her interest in a girls’ love series, emphasizing the need for more shows depicting lesbian love compared to the abundance of Boys’ Love (BL) series. She expressed her comfort in working on such a project with her best friend, highlighting their shared acting skills and the potential for mutual growth.
Manabat and Brillantes join a growing list of Kapamilya actresses expressing their openness to participate in GL projects.
‘Senior High’ continues to air new episodes Monday to Friday at 9:30 p.m. on various platforms, including Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and TFC.
