ABS-CBN will heat up rainy afternoons as Precious Hearts Romances presents: Isla hits Kapamilya Gold. PHR Isla will star Matteo Guidicelli, Jessy Mendiola, Jewel Mische and Matt Evans.
In Isla, actress Jessy Mendiola will be at her sexiest role so far being stranded in an island without anything except the clothes she's wearing. Jessy will bare more skin in Isla than what she did in Sabel.
"Given na naman na 'pag matagal na kayo sa isla, wala ka nang ibang damit kundi 'yun nalang, so natural naman siguro na unti-unti na siyang huhubaran. It's 'Precious Hearts Romances' eh, romance eh, hindi naman siya basta't hubad lang," said Jessy.
Meanwhile, Matteo Guidicelli said that he prepared physically for the sexy scenes. Matteo tried triathlon to get a leaner body, got dark, lost weight and got a new haircut. He also said that they had undergone several acting workshops and immersions for the series.
Here is the plot of Precious Hearts Romances presents: Isla.
Isla tells the story of two strangers, Brennan (Guidicelli) and Yani (Mendiola), who get stranded on an island after their ship gets wrecked. Romance blooms between them as they spend time alone on the island, but the two strangers are not without their respective baggage from the "real world." Brennan is married to his dedicated wife Megan (Mische), while Yani's childhood best friend Justin (Evans) has untold feelings for the young woman. The romance that grows between Yani and Brennan will set off a series of twists and conflicts after the two gets back to their own lives in Manila.
Isla is scheduled to start filming next week and is slated for a release later this year. This new afternoon series will be directed by Nico Hernandez and Connie Macatuno.
