Veteran actress Amalia Fuentes will join the cast of Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala which has already aired its pilot week. The series is the comeback teleserye of soap opera queen Judy Ann Santos and also stars Sam Milby and KC Concepcion, among other big stars.
In an exclusive interview with ABS-CBN's Mario Dumaual, Amalia Fuentes said that she was very happy of having given a second chance by the network "to experience what it is to work in a teleserye." It can be recalled that Amalia resigned in Muling Buksan Ang Puso, her supposed reunion project with fellow movie queen Susan Roces (read related story here).
"I am so happy. This is another beginning, another episode in my life, because I have never done a teleserye. People are now so teleserye-involved. I felt that it was time that I should experience this. So when ABS-CBN offered me the chance to do a teleserye, I right away grabbed it, because this is something that I must know from experience, not from the experience of other people," she said adding that she was instantly taken with the teleserye's advocacy—women empowerment.
In Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, Amalia Fuentes will play a pivotal role in the life of Anessa (played by Juday) in the latter part of the series.
Meanwhile, Amalia Fuentes will be replaced by another veteran Pilar Pilapil in this year's biggest teleserye. Pilar has already appeared in several successful Kapamilya teleseryes including internationally-acclaimed Lobo and the recently concluded Ina Kapatid Anak.
Muling Buksan Ang Puso boasts of an ensemble of huge actors including Dante Rivero, Cherie Gil, Agot Isidro, Dominic Ochoa, Daniel Fernando, and Ms. Susan Roces and featuring this generation's hottest actors, Julia Montes, Enchong Dee and Enrique Gil.
Muling Buksan Ang Puso is expected to air this July 2013.
