Sofia Andres returns to ABS-CBN's fantasy-themed series Bagani.
Viewers of the show were surprised to see the return of her character Mayari in the July 17 episode.
During the last scene of the episode, a lady wearing a yellow hood suddenly appeared in front of Malaya (Kristine Hermosa) and Gaki (Justin Cuyugan).
When the lady removed the hood, her identity was revealed to be Mayari.
It seemed like Malaya resurrected Mayari and will use her as a pawn against the Baganis, composed of Liza Soberano, Makisig Morales, Zaijian Jaranilla, Matteo Guidicelli, and Enrique Gil.
Sofia's comeback comes three months after her controversial exit from the show.
It may be recalled that in April 5, Mayari was killed after lightning struck her.
This fueled various speculations about Sofia's career, including a rumored network transfer.
However, she already said in an interview that her character was meant to be killed during the seventh week.
Sofia also posted a photo of herself wearing the yellow hood on her Instagram story.
Meanwhile, Sofia's Bagani love interest Enzo Pineda, who plays Datu in the show, tweeted about Mayari's comeback.
He wrote, "#BAGANIprOppose Buhay si mayari!?!?"
#BAGANIprOppose Buhay si mayari!?!?????

It's been weeks since the last time I saw an episode of Bagani, then nakita ko here sa Twitter that Mayari is back. Kaso nasa evil side na siya. Oooh, hanep na plot twist ah. Kala ng lahat hindi na siya mabubuhay eh.
