The "dyosa" of Philippine television Anne Curtis is all set
to make her primetime TV comeback as she topbills the light romance teleserye The
Wedding, which will soon air on ABS-CBN.
After portraying a goddess in the fantaserye Dyosa, Anne will soon
appear as a girl who is dreaming about the day when she will finally walk down
the aisle as a bride.
When PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) talked with Anne Curtis during her
recent pictorial at the ABS-CBN compound, she said that her character Candice
De Menes is actually a spoiled brat who manipulates people so she can get what
she wants.
"Isa siyang spoiled brat na may pangarap na wedding. In love siya sa concept ng
wedding...ever since bagets siya she's the flower girl, naging bridesmaid
hanggang sa madami na din nanligaw. But then eventually her parents, will have
a problem and when they separate, maghahanap siya ng way na magreconcile yung
parents niya."
She is paired with two leading men in this original TV series: Derek Ramsay and
Zanjoe Marudo.
Anne laughingly recalls that she had some difficulty getting Dyosa out
of her system. "Minsan nga nagkakamali ako kasi di ba si Zanjoe kasama ko sa Dyosa,"
narrates Anne. "Mars yung pangalan niya dun. Marlon siya dito pero minsan
natatawag ko siyang Mars so cut na agad yun. Nasasabi ko na lang, ‘Candice ka
na hindi ka si Dyosa.'"
The actress further described her character Candice by saying, "Naghahanap ako
ng way na magreconcile yung parents ko so gagamitin ko siya [Marlon].
Nakakatawa yung character ko dito, in fairness hindi siya yung typical na
pasweet, maldita talaga siya, spoiled brat na gagawin lahat. In the end, maiintindihan mo kung bakit niya ginagawa itong mga bagay na ‘to."
The Wedding is helmed by multi-awarded director Jeffrey Jetturian.
