Eula Valdes
Veteran actresses Eula Valdes and Jean Garcia are favorite personalities of telenovela aficionados, with both making their mark over years of portraying popular roles in successful programs.
So for fans, it’s good news that Eula is now part of GMA-7’s “The Half Sisters,” which reunites her anew with her former co-star.
“Parang maglalaro na naman kami. Sabi ko nga eh kami ‘yung original na ‘love team’ talaga, ‘di ba? Siyempre excited din ako,” said Eula, who last worked with Jean in the local adaptation of hit Koreanovela titled “All About Eve” in 2009.
Asked if she and Jean will have fight scenes on “The Half Sisters,” Eula replied, “I don’t know, pero siyempre hinahanap (ng tao ‘yun).”
Eula is willing to do such scenes, even if they’d be called upon to do some slapping — the real kind.
“Natural masakit ‘yun pero ako, hindi ako kumporme sa daya-daya (na sampal). Kasi para nakaka-react ka nang matino, ‘di ba? Kapag dinaya ang fight scenes, dinadaya mo ‘yung sarili mo,” she noted.
The actress added, “Since before naman okay lang ako sa mga ganung eksena. Ilang beses na nga ako nabato, haha.”
In the series, Eula’s character Ysabel will fall in love with Jean’s husband played by Jomari Yllana.
“Initially parang hindi siya kontrabida (Ysabel), ‘yung mga gagawin niya at magiging reaction niya, depende sa sitwasyon,” said Eula of her character, with the assurance that “mas natural na ngayon ang mga gagawin namin sa soap, hindi na ‘yung pagsasabungin lang ang mga characters namin ni Jean for the sake (of the thrill).”
They may not be the best of friends in real life but Eula said she and Jean have a good professional and personal relationship. “Okay naman kami eh kaso may ibang set of friends kami and hindi rin ako pala-labas eh,” said Eula.
On accepting the character, Eula said it helps that, aside from Jean, she has already worked with some of the series’ cast members in previous projects, including Jomari and director Mark Reyes. “Less problema, less hassle,” she pointed out.
Eula added, “Also, parang no-brainer na ba’t ka pa mag-iisip eh top-rater na ‘yung show, ‘di ba? Siyempre dun ka na.”
Now picky with the kind of projects she does, she said, “Syempre ‘yung pipiliin mo, dapat hindi ka dehado, malalaman mo naman ‘yun depende kung anong offer nila. Like ‘yung guaranteed days ng trabaho mo. Siyempre hindi pwede ‘yung sasabihin sa’yo may soap ka pero ang tagal mo pala tumetengga.”
Eula has no exclusive contract with any network. She explained, “Nag-e-enjoy pa ako. Pero depende kung may offer na maganda (at) secured ‘yung trabaho mo, why not?”
Direk Mark confirms the Eula’s scenes in the series will start airing this month. She begins taping this week.
“The Half Sisters” airs weekdays on GMA Afternoon Prime.
