Glaiza De Castro, Gabby Eigenmann share their reaction to character deaths

How did Glaiza De Castro and Gabby Eigenmann react after finding out about the major deaths that would happen in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre?"

The Kapuso stars were asked the question on Wednesday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," mentioning the fall of Lira, Mira, Ybrahim, and Cassandra, as well as netizens' saddened reactions.

Gabby, whose character (Zaur) killed Mira, admitted that upon reading the script, he knew that viewers wouldn't be pleased with what he had to do.

"Bago lang ako sa 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.' It's my first time eh. So when I was reading the script, I was like, oh, I knew that people would probably hate me, lalo na 'yung mga Encantadiks," Gabby said.

But Gabby said that he was fine with it.

"Hindi ko naman alam 'yung nangyari noon eh. But these are loved characters from way before eh," he said.

Glaiza admitted that she felt nervous when she found out what would happen in the series.

"Sa totoo lang, kinakabahan ako, kasi minahal ng mga tao 'yung mga characters nila Lira at Mira. At bilang Pirena din, sobrang mahal ko 'yung dalawang 'yon kasi ang dami pong eksena na magkakasama kaming tatlo," she said.

Glaiza said she had already wondered how the viewers would react to the characters' deaths and that she had expected their disapproving reactions.

"Pero that also means na mahal na mahal nila 'yung characters and gano'n sila ka-invested sa kuwento ng Encantadia for them to parang defend din 'yung mga characters na minahal nila nung 2016 up to now. 'Di ba? So parang I guess it's a positive thing din na people are very affected," she said.

"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs weeknights on GMA Network at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it on YouTube via the Kapuso Stream. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
