DESPITE getting numerous acting awards, Janine Gutierrez knew she has to perform well in the upcoming series “Dirty Linen” which also boasts award-winning actors in the cast.
In her second Kapamilya series, Gutierrez is working with the likes of Tessie Tomas, Joel Torre, John Arcilla, and Janice de Belen – all acclaimed veterans in the industry.
During the recent media conference, the actress admitted to fangirling at the start of shooting, especially during her scenes with Tomas, who plays matriarch Doña Cielo Fiero.
“Wala naman intimidating as a person. Pero for me lang as a fan, of course, si Ms. Tessie. It’s such an honor to work with her… Si Mommy ko (Lotlot de Leon) nung nalaman niya na si Ms. Tessie ‘yung kasama namin, she was so super excited,” Gutierrez shared.
“I know I have to be on my toes kapag ka-eksena ko si Ms. Tessie.”
Zanjoe Marudo, who plays Gutierrez’s love interest in the drama series, backed up the actress, saying how impressive she is in the show.
Marudo said Gutierrez was light to work with as she did not appear tired nor stressed on the set, despite playing two roles: Mila and Alexa.
While the main story tackles revenge, the two lead stars assured that there will be love stories woven into the show.
“Dirty Linen” will be airing starting Monday, Jan. 23.
The series – which has the tagline, “Stained by lies, washed by truth, handled with care” – will be directed by Diaz and Andoy Ranay. (ABS-CBN News)
