Snooky Serna opened up about a youthful crush she had on her former love team partner, Gabby Concepcion, during her guest appearance on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on Thursday. Looking back on their past pairing and their reunion in the GMA Afternoon Prime series My Father's Wife, Snooky shared that while Gabby never pursued her romantically, she definitely felt something special for him back in the day. 'Tito Boy, na-infatuate talaga ako kay Gabby,' she admitted, calling her confession sincere and not just for showbiz effect. 'Nakakahiya man sabihin, pero totoo. Super crush ko talaga si Gabs.' Snooky explained that she never confessed her feelings at the time because she was very conservative. But now, with age and experience, she finds herself more open to sharing such memories—adding jokingly, 'It's now or never!' The two actors are currently working together again on My Father's Wife, stirring nostalgia and renewed interest in their classic on-screen chemistry.

Snooky Serna reflects on how she was unmade, remade by showbiz industry
Snooky Serna appeared in 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' and offered a candid perspective on how the entertainment industry impacted her, particularly during challenging times. On Thursday's episode, the actress was asked by Tito Boy about how she was both unmade and remade by the showbiz industry. She admitted that her downfall was largely self-inflicted, stating, 'I'll have to humble myself and be honest na hindi naman ako—well, everything happened inadvertently, as I always say, as I love saying. It was not a conscious effort to destroy me. If any, ako ang sumira sa sarili ko no'ng mga panahon na ako'y naging durog at basag at talagang hindi na malaman kung sa'n pupulutin.' However, Snooky did point to a potential failing on the industry's part. 'Kung naging medyo may konting kasalanan din ang industriya at that point, kung siguro naging instrumental sila somehow, siguro was the fact that there was one point in time na parang tiningnan ako as a commodity and not as a human being. So parang even if I was hurting inside, parang nakatalikod lang. And I was exploited,' she said. Despite the profound challenges she faced, Snooky firmly attributes her remaking to a higher power and not the industry. 'I would like to take the opportunity to give a living testimony that God, only God, made me whole again. Not anyone, not the industry, but it was all in God's good grace and still is in God's good grace that I'm being made whole again,' she said. In the same interview, Snooky admitted that she had become arrogant at the peak of her career. 'For a long time, talagang it got into my head. Delusionally, I thought that, akala ko para bang I was just fighting for my rights o isang pained artist and I was fighting the system. Pero hindi. Let's call a spade a spade. Talagang it just all got into this head lang,' she said. She credited divine intervention for helping her regain humility. 'I praise God that He put me in my place. Ang daming nangyari sa akin na hanggang ngayon, nilalagay ako ng Panginoon sa lugar ko. That anytime, anytime, He can just take it all away. The oxygen in my lungs, everything around me, it's all temporary, so I have nothing to boast about,' she said. Snooky currently stars in 'My Father's Wife' with Gabby Concepcion, Kylie Padilla, Kazel Kinouchi, Jak Roberto, and more. It airs Mondays to Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. on GMA Network. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
