Isabel Oli, kinikilig kina Justin at Jessie

Galit ang nararamdaman ngayon ng mga fans ng Richard Gutierrez-Heart Evangelista tandem para kay Isabel Oli—pero hindi dahil may ginawa ang aktres, but rather because ganoon ka-effective si Isabel bilang Elaine, ang kontrabida sa pagiging mag-asawa nina Justin at Jessie sa "Full House". Text by Jason John S. Lim. Photos courtesy of GMA Network. "Ito, medyo bad talaga." This is how Isabel Oli describes her character Elaine sa romantic-comedy series na Full House. She explains, "siyempre ini-stretch namin ng kaunti ['yung story]. Kasi 'yung [original] yata, sobrang ikli lang ng ni-run nila. Dito kasi, siyempre three months, so medyo ini-stretch namin." This, Isabel tells iGMA.tv is the reason why "maraming moments or mga eksena na inaagaw-agaw ko talaga [si Justin]." Justin is Richard Gutierrez's character, the husband of Heart Evangelista's character Jessie. Happy working days. Isabel reveals to us na every day na ang taping ng Full House, and sa mga eksenang kinukunan nila ngayon, medyo palaban na talaga si Elaine. "Medyo maldita na ako dito," she tells us. Aminado naman si Isabel na medyo worried siya sa magiging reaction ng mga tao sa mas abrasive na characteristics ni Elaine ngayon. "I read at one website nga, ang dami na palang naiinis kay Elaine. Sabi ko, 'Oh my God, ang dami na pala.'" While Isabel is grateful na effective ang acting niya, hindi pa rin niya maalis ang takot na baka pati siya, as Isabel Oli, kagalitan na rin ng mga tao. Pero, hindi rin maitatanggi ni Isabel that she loves working at Full House, and working with Richard, Heart and her other co-stars. "Si Chard, ganoon pa rin," Isabel tells us nang kamustahin namin ang kanyang working relationship with the rest of the Full House's cast. Matatandaan na Isabel's first television project was opposite Richard too: Sugo. Isabel describes him as "makulit, professional—and that's really, for me, kahanga-hanga. Because he's Richard Gutierrez already, 'di ba?" Dagdag pa ni Isabel, "sobrang down-to-earth na tao" si Richard. And a gentleman to boot! Pero she's not limiting all these praises kay Richard lang. Isabel says even Heart Evangelista is a joy to be working with. "Lately lang kami parang naging close," she confesses, saying mas nakakausap na niya si Heart ngayon kaysa noon. Ngayon lang kasi sila nabigyan ng mas maraming eksena together. "Sobrang happy talaga ako," Isabel tells us. "Kasi dati si Chariz [Solomon] lang 'yung ka-eksena ko." At least this time daw, nakakasama na rin niya ang ibang cast members gaya ng kanyang kaibigan na si Sheena Halili, at sina Keempee de Leon, Epi Quizon—"even Miss Pilita [Corales]!" Sa sobrang saya nga raw, hindi na napapansin ni Isabel na araw-araw na silang nagtra-trabaho. "I really look forward sa tapings namin, kasi alam kong may chikahan na mangyayari." "The taping is really fun." Isabel even teases na sa mga darating na araw, fans of the show should watch out for more kilig scenes—before clarifying, "yung kay Jessie and Justin, ha? ‘Yung Elaine and Justin naman, mafi-feel mo 'yung awa, pero nakakainis." Dagdag pa niya, "abangan nila kung mababawi ko ba si Justin, or kung tuluyan na siyang mai-in love kay Jessie." Patuloy na panoorin si Isabel sa Full House, weeknights pagkatapos ng The Last Prince sa GMA Telebabad. At sa pagtatapos nito, abangan si Isabel sa kanyang susunod na magiging project which she reveals will be drama naman. Pag-usapan si Isabel at ang Full House sa pinagandang iGMA Forum!
