Ang puno't dulo ngayon sa sinasabing tampuhan ay ang hindi raw paglagay ng image ni Richard sa unang batch ng summer plug ng GMA-7. Balitang nag-cut short ng two days si Richard from his last U.S. trip—where he received a Visionary Award—just to make it to the summer plug.
Naayos na ito sa sumunod na plug. But as our second source explained, "The damage has been done."
Another unwritten tampo was when Richard attended the birthday party of GMA-7 president Atty. Felipe Gozon. Bukod-tanging si Richard lang daw ang hindi ipinakita sa mga video na naglabasan about this party.
We asked back na napakasimpleng problema nito para ilipat agad si Richard sa ABS-CBN. Another source sent us a text message for another explanation: There is an offer "too good to refuse" and Richard's mother and manager, Annabelle Rama, is seriously considering this.
LOT OF CHANGES. If ever, Richard's move to ABS-CBN could spell a lot of changes, particularly sa Kapamilya network, home of several matinee idols from the superstars Piolo Pascual, John Lloyd Cruz, Sam Milby, Diether Ocampo, and Jericho Rosales to the upcoming ones like Jake Cuenca and Gerald Anderson. They will all have to give way to the king of GMA-7 primetime.
Ikalawa, KC will no longer be partnered to anyone but to Richard habang may side possibility pa ring mag-reunion ang dating magka-love team na sina Richard at Angel. Puwede nang matuloy ang Richard-KC movie solely produced by Star Cinema, unless hindi pa tapos ni Richard ang kanyang GMA Films contract which is all together separate from his expiring GMA network contract.
On the GMA-7 side naman, Richard's departure, if ever, could be a gain to the other leading men of Kapuso network, ‘tulad nang nangyari noon sa pag-alis ni Angel at sa pag-angat ni Marian Rivera.
Richard's possible move will also definitely affect the other wards of Ms. Rama, tulad nina JC de Vera na may guaranteed contract din and sisters Ehra and Michelle Madrigal who just recently signed up with GMA-7 but on a per show contract. This has happened sa mga alaga ni Becky Aguila noon nang inilipat niya si Angel sa ABS-CBN.
But then, at present, walang gustong ma-quote directly kung may ganito ngang scenario na nangyayari. Although another source is very firm sa sagot niya, "Hindi ililipat ni Annabelle si Richard sa ABS. Gagawa ng paraan ang GMA para hindi makawala sa kanila si Richard, just like what they did noon kay Regine Velasquez."
