Heart Evangelista is back to work after six months of rest.

The GMA-7 actress will be part of the upcoming primetime series Legacy, which tackles the complicated lives of three half-sisters who are all struggling to be in control of a cosmetics company.

Lovi Poe and Alessandra de Rossi will portray the half-sisters of Heart in this primetime series that will air starting January 16.

"I took my vacation and I used the time...

"I went to Brazil, nakapag-New York pa ako so marami naman akong nagawa," said Heart.

STAR MAGIC BALL. Last September 2011, a lot of people were surprised to see Heart attend the Star Magic Ball, fueling speculations that she would return to Star Magic.

But Heart clarified that she just went to the event simply as a guest.

The still-Kapuso actress said, "During that break, marami akong free time and I got to catch up with Mr. M [Johnny Manahan] and Tita Mariole [Alberto].

"I went through those 'growing pains,' which is how I call it.

"Nagkatampuhan dati and we really got to fix our relationship and they decided to invite me.

"But it wasn't really for anything...they missed me siguro.

"It's just nice to know that they're always there for me.

"It's good that Lovi [Poe] and Sam Pinto were there, so pare-pareho lang kami ng reason: we were just invited."

RIFT WITH MARIAN RIVERA. One of the biggest stories that broke in showbiz in 2011 was the airport incident involving Marian Rivera, Heart, and Heart's mother, Mrs. Cecile Ongpauco.
