"Very happy but pressured." Iyan ang nararamdaman ni Geoff Eigenmann nang ibinahagi ng GMANetwork.com sa kanya ang balitang mataas ang ratings ng primetime series niyang Forever sa pilot week nito. Sa aming pagbisita sa set ng Wagas: Mga Totoong Kuwento ng Pag-ibig ng GMA News TV last January 24, kung saan kasama rin niya ang kanyang Forever co-star na si Heart Evangelista, Geoff shared his thoughts about being back in primetime, what fans can expect from Forever, and how it feels to play Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago's husband.
"I'm very happy about it kasi we've been preparing for Forever since November. And along the way, andaming changes na nangyari. We were supposed to be for the afternoon [block], and then naging early primetime before the news. So I'm very happy with all the changes," kuwento ni Geoff.
Dagdag pa niya, "More pressure, basically, kasi siyempre primetime 'yun, but very happy kasi lahat ng pinagpaguran namin, lahat ng pinaghirapan namin, it's all paying off right now. And the number one thing is nag-eenjoy lahat ng mga Kapuso. If they're happy, we're happy."
Sinigurado naman ni Geoff na marami pang dapat abangan ang mga viewers sa Forever. "Marami pang aabangan, we're definitely going to improve our story. We're going to make it better and better every week and sana people will just keep on watching at sana padami ng padami ang sumusuporta sa Forever."
Excited din si Geoff sa current project niya for GMA News TV, ang Wagas: Mga Totoong Kuwento ng Pag-ibig, airing on February 9. "This is the love story of Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago and her husband, Mr. Jun Santiago. We start with their college days, with how they met and how they prospered from just being friends to ending up in a 40-year marriage."
Hindi man daw niya nakausap ang mag-asawa ay nakaalalay naman si Heart sa kanya, lalo na't malapit ito sa pamilya ng senador. "I didn't have the chance, but lahat ng mga details na alam ko I got from Heart because she is very close to the family. She gave me some tips on how Sir Jun was, and I just applied it. And okay naman, people were very happy. I'm really enjoying playing them."
Patuloy na panoorin ang Forever, weeknights bago mag-24 Oras, sa GMA Telebabad. Also watch out for Wagas: Mga Totoong Kuwento ng Pag-ibig, with Heart Evangelista as Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Geoff Eigenmann as Mr. Jun Santiago, this Saturday, February 9, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. on GMA News TV Channel 11. -- Michelle Caligan, GMANetwork.com
