How true that Iza Calzado will be joining Angel Locsin and Gabby Concepcion in one teleserye? Showbiz insiders now claimed that Gabby Concepcion will be back to the Kapamilya network to play Iza Calzado's love interest in the teleserye Kapag Puso'y Sinugatan which will have Angel Locsin as main lead. It is said that Derek Ramsay will play Angel's leading man in the series which will be directed by Wenn Deramas.
In an interview with PEP.ph, Iza revealed that she is about to start for the shoot of her first teleserye in ABS-CBN sometime in March or April. Although very excited about the project, Iza said that she cannot divulge anything yet about the theme or the casting. All she has to say is that she will play a role here that is new and she hasn't played yet.
Many reports also claimed that Gabby's return to ABS-CBN is now final as he refused to accept offers from rival GMA network. According to insiders, Gabby was offered to play Richard Guttierez's father in the latters upcoming series in the Kapuso network but Gabby had chosen to return as a Kapamilya to star opposite Iza Calzado in Kapag Puso'y Sinugatan.
Meanwhile, many Angel fans will get excited if they hear this news as their idol will be back on Primetime. It has been months (or even a year) after Angel was seen on a weekday teleserye. Her last was Imortal with John Lloyd Cruz which received positive reviews and high TV ratings, even toppling down at most 5 competitor programs from rival network.
About Derek Ramsay being included in the cast, this could be a good news since he was reported to be transferring to TV-5. Probably, Derek finally decided to stay where he will be most valued at and where he will have better projects and exposure.
The said series is said to be under PBB Genius, Laurenti Dyogi's business unit.
