Camille Prats says she initially didn't want to do viral sword fight scene in 'Mommy Dearest'
Camille Prats and Katrina Halili's sword fight in 'Mommy Dearest" went viral on the internet, but Camille admitted that she was initially hesitant to do the scene. In Tuesday's episode of 'Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,' the Kapuso actress shared that she did not want to do it because she did not understand the need for it. 'I said it, why do we need to do this scene? I feel like hindi naman siya kailangan talaga sa away namin,' Camille shared. However, she added that the production team explained to them that the scene was an effort to make viewers talk about 'Mommy Dearest." 'They explained to me na it's an effort talaga, 'yung scene na 'yon is really created para mapag-usapan siya,' Camille said . 'Kasi ako gusto ko magkaroon ng parang anong pinanggagalingan ko in my character for me to do this. I also want to take into consideration as an audience. How will the audience take this?' According to Camille, she reflected on her character Olive's internal turmoil to do the scene. 'Tapos parang na-realize ko na lang na siguro si Olive naman sa sobrang cuckoo 'di ba? She will do whatever. Sabi ko sige 'yon na lang magiging motivation ko bilang si Olive naman eh talagang may something sa isip. Mukhang wala naman siyang aatrasan talaga, so let's do it,' she said, adding that they had to ask some of the production staff to leave so they could avoid laughing while doing the scene. She playfully shared that due to the sword fight scene, some people have taken to calling her Olive-Wan Kenobi, a reference to the 'Star Wars' character Obi-Wan Kenobi. The viral sword fight not only had netizens in stitches but Ryza Cenon as well, who posted a hilarious reaction to the scene. 'Mommy Dearest' follows the life of Mookie (Shayne Sava) who tries to navigate life despite her serious illnesses since childhood. However, her overprotective mother, Olive (Camille), refrains her from going out and discovering the world, making Mookie seem like a prisoner in their own home. Aside from Camille, Katrina and Shayne, the series also stars Winwyn Marquez, Dion Ignacio, and Amy Austria, among others. 'Mommy Dearest' airs weekdays at 3:20 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime. —Jade Veronique Yap/CDC, GMA Integrated News

Andrea Torres to shoot underwater scenes for 'Akusada'
Andrea Torres is gearing up to shoot underwater scenes for her upcoming series, "Akusada." In Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Tuesday, Andrea said that her role as Carol embodies the diligence of Filipinos. "Makikita n'yo sa role ko 'yung pagiging masipag nating mga Pilipino, 'yung lahat kasi ng raket kaya niyang gawin basta marangal eh dahil andun lang talaga sa utak niya 'yung goal niya na gusto niya 'yung pamilya niya maging komportable ang buhay, sama-sama sila. 'Di ba gano'n tayo?" Andrea said. Andrea also expressed her enthusiasm in filming underwater scenes for the project. "Wala akong formal training pero hindi naman yata kailangan for this. Pero adventurous naman akong tao. Learning experience siya and gusto ko 'yung gan'yan. 'Yung nababasa ako, napapawisan ako, tumatakbo-takbo ako, type na type ko 'yung mga gan'yan," she said. Andrea will star with Benjamin Alves, who said that the story is beautiful and fast-paced. "Napakaganda at napakabilis po ng storya na 'to. Kumbaga po sa phase ng story, kung 'yung kadalasan na nasanay 'yung mga Kapuso natin na three weeks nilang aabangan, four weeks nilang aabangan, ngayon the same episode. 'Yung kung nando'n 'yung problema, nando'n na rin 'yung resolution," he said. The series will also star Lianne Valentine as the antagonist. "First day namin together, nasabunutan na po ako. Oo. At 'yung sabunot niya, hindi lang basta isa ha. Talagang routine po siya," Andrea said. "So far, so good 'yung chemistry namin together sa pag-arte sa mga scenes namin kasama si Ben. Talagang nagja-jive kami lahat," Lianne said. "Akusada" marks Andrea's return to GMA Afternoon Prime following "The Millionaire's Wife," where she worked alongside the late actress Jaclyn Jose. She fondly recalled their working dynamics, saying, "Kasi ang dynamics namin sa mga ganitong taping, chine-check niya 'yung mga performances ko." "Akusada" is directed by award-winning director Dominic Zapata. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
