Kapatid primetime princess Alex Gonzaga will leave TV-5 to return to ABS-CBN, several reports have confirmed. Alex, who is the sister of multimedia star Toni Gonzaga is originally a Kapamilya before transferring to the country's number 3 network in 2008.
Alex (born Catherine Gonzaga) is introduced in the defunct ABS-CBN teen sitcom Let's Go and Gokada Go, where her current screen name came from. She also went on to be a part of the Philippine remake of My Girl starring Kim and Gerald before becoming one of TV-5's prime star on its revamp. While a Kapatid, she was given huge projects such as Babaeng Hampaslupa and P.S. I Love Yove You.
Alex was last seen in the eco-fantaserye Enchanted Garden. According to reports, a Kapatid executive is blocking Alex's next project in the network. Since her contract expired last December 2012 and TV-5 has no offer at the moment, Alex and her manager, Mommy Pinty Gonzaga decided to accept the offer of ABS-CBN.
There were reports that TV-5 big boss Manny Pangilinan, upon learning Alex's jumping to ABS-CBN, asked for a meeting with her camp for possible projects, one of which is a teleserye with Sharon Cuneta. However, it was too late since Alex has already negotiated a deal with ABS-CBN.
Alex Gonzaga is set to sign a contract with ABS-CBN on April 15. Her upcoming projects in the Kapamilya network include a light drama series (rumored to be a musical-serye opposite Jericho Rosales) and a movie with Star Cinema. Alex will also be part of the ABS-CBN Sunday musical variety show, ASAP 18.
