Gretchen Barretto Denies Causing the Delay of Upcoming Teleserye

Actress Gretchen Barretto denied reports she is interfering with the creative team of her upcoming TV series with actresses Angelica Panganiban and KC Concepcion, which has caused unnecessary delays.



In an interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon” on Monday, Barretto stressed she is just patiently waiting for their project to materialize since she is aware a lot of preparations has to be made.



Barretto said she has been waiting for the production team to inform her about the schedule of their taping.



“I get into it just a little bit dahil siyempre alam naman natin na mga genius ang ating mga creative team. So hinahayaan ko sila,” she said.



“I’m patiently waiting dahil alam ko naman na bago mag-umpisa ang isang teleseryeng malaking proyekto, you always have to wait because you know that the preparation has to be really really careful,” she added.



Meanwhile, Barretto admitted the creative team had a little problem because of the story’s complexity.



“Nagkaproblema lang sa creative team, nagkaproblema lang sa script dahil talagang napakahirap gumawa ng script para sa tatlong babae. Pero once we star dirediretso na iyan,” she said.



Barretto’s last TV series with ABS-CBN is “Magkaribal,” where she played the role of actress Bea Alonzo’s sister.



Barretto renewed her contract with ABS-CBN last May.

Gretchen Barretto All Set to Wow Kapamilya Viewers in Muling Buksan Ang Puso

Showbiz’s queen of high fashion Gretchen Barretto revealed that she has been on various shopping sprees in Paris, Hong Kong, San Francisco, and Bangkok just to complete her wardrobe for her newest teleserye Muling Buksan Ang Puso (formerly known as Alta), many of which she purchased from the house of Prada. “It really is difficult for me to reveal the local designers making my outfits. I’m using a lot of the new ones. A lot of the ones we haven’t worked with, just so we don’t do a repeat of the look of before. But we’re doing other brands, and we want it to be a surprise. I want people to only know when the show airs in August,” said Gretchen in an interview for Metro Magazine.

After months of taking a break from the limelight, Gretchen shared that she’s looking forward to working with a stellar cast which includes KC Concepcion, Angelica Panganiban, Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo, and Luis Manzano. She added that the story of Muling Buksan Ang Puso is worthy of the long work hours she’d be putting in once again. “I don’t do a project just to do a project. It has to be something that I believe in, and I have to make sure of its worth because it takes up precious time away from my daughter Dominique and partner Tony (Cojuangco). But I think I have taken enough of a break to come back.”

Although she can’t disclose details about her character yet, Gretchen said that the creators of the show have yet to decide which name is perfect for her role. “We started with Marga, and then I changed it to Nicola. They’re still thinking about it, not everyone likes Nicola because they say not everyone would understand it. They’re not giving me a go for Nicola but truly? I am really in love with the name Nicola. I hope that it’s Nicola.”
