In an interview during the Prima Donnas story conference, Aiko talked about how she felt going back to her first network.

“It's great to be back here on GMA after a long, long, long, long time.

“So, I'm excited to work with these new actors,” Aiko said.

Aiko's last series in GMA was Basahang Ginto which aired in 2010.

In the interview, Aiko related to GMANetwork.com how she became part of Prima Donnas.

“They got in touch with my manager, which is Tito Boy Abunda, and then they gave me this offer and then I read the script, and then I love the script and I said 'I'm ready to work.'

“GMA was kind enough, sabi ko kasi, aalis ako punta akong U.S.

“Hihintayin daw nila ako kasi they really want me to be part of Prima Donnas.”

Joining Aiko in Prima Donnas are Jillian Ward, Althea Ablan, Sofia Pablo, Katrina Halili, Wendell Ramos, Chanda Romero, and Elijah Alejo.

The show will be directed by veteran actress and director Gina Alajar.
