Miss Eula Valdez, looking forward

Malapit nang matapos ang istorya ng 'LaLola,' and iGMA got to talk to one of the many important characters ng show about what's coming next, at kung ano na ang alam niya sa kanyang susunod na show—ang 'All About Eve.' Presenting, Miss Eula Valdez. Text by Jason John S. Lim. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio. With the coming finale episode ng LaLola, iGMA asked Eula Valdez kung puwede na bang i-spoil sa amin how the story ends. Will Lalo get his happily ever after with Susanna? Or will he be happier as Lola in the arms of Facundo? Ang sagot sa amin ni Eula?
"Actually, hindi ko alam," Eula answers. "Hindi ko talaga alam, kasi hindi namin alam kung papaano mag-eend. Pati kami sinu-surprise din [ng mga writers]." But what Miss Eula can say is that she definitely likes working with Rhian Ramos, who plays her son in the show: "Okay siya. Cool." And just to tease us further, Eula tells us na 'yung mga scenes na kanilang kinunan, may inklings na ang character niya na. We'll let Eula herself say it. "Dito sa mga eksena dito, meron na akong mga iniisip-isip," she reveals. "Na-realike ko na anak ko pala siya." So that's definitely something people should watch out for. Pero that's pretty much it for the spoiler. Dahil, as Eula said earlier, wala pa rin daw silang alam sa ending. So we're going back to what she can reveal about the show, which is why she likes the show so much: "Kasi magaan." And not to compare the experience with the staff, Eula says na mas magaan sa loob ang LaLola. Lalo pa't ang last show niya ay medyo heavy. "Oo. Parang ang heavy-heavy noon," pag-alala niya. "Kahit naman sa totoong buhay, [kung] may anak kang ahas, 'di ba? Kailangan mong dibdibin nang totoo!" At mukhang matinding dibdiban na naman ang mangyayari sa kanyang susunod na soap, kaya naman ine-enjoy na talaga ni Eula ang pagiging light ng LaLola. Ano nga ba 'yung next show niya?
"'Yung All About Eve," Eula says. This month daw, they'll already start taping the show. Though wala pa rin siyang idea sa magiging flow ng story, she knows na matinding aktingan ang kakailanganin dito—especially since it reunites her with Jean Garcia after a long time na hindi sila nagsama sa soap. "Abangan na lang," she finishes. In the meantime, Eula wants to thank the people na sumuporta sa LaLola from start to finish. "And alam mo, [I also want] to thank them kasi marami akong naririnig when I go out, sasabihin nila 'Ay, LaLola,' ganyan-ganyan. Sabi nila, 'Ay! Umuuwi talaga ako, inaabangan ko 'yan,' ganyan. Siyempre, nakakataba ng puso, 'di ba? "Thank you [na] sinuportahan nila [ang show.]" Updated ka pa ba sa mga nangyayari sa LaLola?
