BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. Since Christopher and Nora’s characters in the mini-series have a past, the two also admit that they are related to it because they also have a past in real life, which even produced a son—Ian de Leon.

When asked by the press if there are any memories of working together on this series, she said: “You know if the two people have something together and this is the result, so I don’t think you can take it away.

“Obviously, Bobby is a great player.

“That’s my idol. When we got to the scene, I was worried.

“It’s a relationship, it’s a relationship, it’s a relationship. We can’t get rid of it.

“But, it’s over.”

Aunt Guy added that as a former relationship, it is inevitable that their reunion will have a “heartbeat.”

Christopher nodded at it.

The actor said, “Chicken… That’s it. My mom has already answered.

“Of course there is a problem, you don’t understand. The connection was easy.

“When it comes down to it, the report is gone.

“You know what you have to do. It’s a nice feeling to see her again.”

“I am so happy that she is doing very, very well, especially with this project.

“This is a very good vehicle, very good project for Mama Guy and for all of us.

“So, there’s also [heart palpitations]. It’s always there. Ian is always there too.

“It’s fun, nag-enjoy lang kami sa set. It’s nice working with her again.”
