“I dreaded being away from my family, Tom and my furbabies for a whole month," Carla Abellana describes challenges of being in a lock-in taping. She is set to star in a GMA series titled 'To Have And To Hold.'
With her wedding just a few months away, Kapuso prime actress Carla Abellana couldn't help but feel emotional because she had to be away from her family and fiancé, Tom Rodriguez, for a month to prepare for her new project.
In her latest vlog, Carla gave an exclusive tour of To Have And To Hold taping in Orani, Bataan.
Carla plays one of the lead characters, Erica, in this upcoming GMA series.
On its description, she wrote a lengthy message describing the challenges in doing her new soap.
She said, “I dreaded being away from my family, Tom and my furbabies for a whole month. I knew it was going to be so hard, most especially emotionally.
"Good thing my Mom and Sister took care of the furbabies while Tom and i were on separate lock-in tapings, and that Tom and i would video call every single day.”
Despite this, the soon-to-be Mrs. Rodriguez had a great time during the first-leg of their lock-in taping and even celebrated her birthday with the production team of To Have And To Hold.
Carla related, “Hotel quarantine while awaiting pull-out for Bataan was a bit sad because we were alone in our hotel rooms for 5 straight days, but as soon as we got to the location everything went smooth and quick.
“We had a happy set too, which definitely helped take the home-sickness away. I celebrated my last Birthday as a single Woman at lock-in taping too! And I was happy.”
“Tom and I celebrated our last boyfriend-girlfriend Anniversary separately as well, but we sent each other comfort food as a way to celebrate.”
She added, “We're all just glad everything worked out well, nobody got infected with COVID, and we all finally returned home to be reunited with our families. Thank God for this new show I am part of! And thank God for all the other blessings we continue to receive. Enjoy this Vlog and stay extra safe, everyone!
To Have And To Hold
Meanwhile, Carla is extremely excited about her upcoming series, starring with Rocco Nacino and Max Collins.
Also included in the cast are Luis Hontiveros and Athena Madrid.
“It's been a busy lock-in taping for all of us," Carla noted.
"Although, magaan ang trabaho namin naman, maayos ang lahat.
"Lahat ng set, lahat ng kasama, lahat ng stand-by area. 'Yung aming accommodations, the staff lahat, lahat maayos!
“So far 'yun na muna, ang aking nakunan for all of you guys for this episode.
"I promise to take more clips next time, but yeah I hope with this episode--kahit papaano may idea na kayo sa mga ganap or pangyayari behind-the-scenes of To Have And To Hold.
“And sana together with all of us here sa Team To Have And To Hold ma-excite din kayo sa aming show.”
