"Grabe si Geoff! Nakakatakot! But feel na feel mo 'yung pain niya. Ang galing niya," Max Collins says of her Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali? co-star Geoff Eigenmann. She is referring to Geoff's emotional range in many of their confrontation scenes in the upcoming Afternoon Prime drama series. 
 
Max plays Amanda, the estranged wife of Leo, who is in turn played by Geoff Eigenmann. Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali? marks the first time that the two will work together.
 
"I think it was a little awkward kasi first time namin to work together. But we know each other kasi we have the same management," Max says. 
 
She and Geoff are managed by Perry Lansigan of PPL Entertainment. 
 
"We're friends naman. Awkward lang kasi now we're playing boyfriend-girlfriend. Medyo weird lang ng konti," she adds. 
 
However, they got over the initial stiffness after a few days of working with each other. 
 
"After a while, when we started having the heavy scenes, doon kami naging close. Doon lumabas 'yung chemistry namin," she explains.
 
Now the Kapuso beauty is all praises for her co-star, and claims that he even unknowingly helps her out in their scenes. 
 
"Ang galing niya talaga. Nadadala ako sa kanya sa mga eksena," she says of Geoff's portrayal of the constantly jealous and emotionally volatile Leo. "I don't even have to motivate myself, naiiyak na [kaagad] ako."
 
"It's nice working with him," she ends. 
 
Watch Max Collins' return to heavy drama in Kailan Ba Tama ang Mali?, coming very soon on GMA Afternoon Prime.
