Kapamilya actresses Julia Montes, Janice De Belen, and Sharon Cuneta are joining forces for the first time in the highly anticipated TV series “Saving Grace” ABS-CBN’s Philippine adaptation of the hit Japanese drama “Mother” from Nippon TV.
The excitement surrounding this powerful cast extends to co-stars Sam Milby, Jennica Garcia, and Christian Bables. The series promises to tug at viewers’ heartstrings as it tackles sensitive themes of child abuse and domestic violence.
“Ang ganda ng lesson and story na gustong sabihin ng serye. Lagi kong tanong kung kaya ko pa ba kasi nate-tense din ako. Kailangan abangan ‘yung mga batuhan ng linya na magaganap,” said Julia, who will play a teacher who abducts an abused child out of love.
This series is particularly special for Janice and Sharon as it marks their first time working together.
“Napanood ko ‘yung original and in fact, naiyak nga ako kaya alam ko na agad na heavy drama siya. Siyempre gusto kong maka-eksena si Mega. Because I know people are also waiting to see how our dynamic is going to be given our colorful past,” shared Janice.
“I promise I will give my best in this project, lalo na since dalawang taon akong nagpahinga sa TV. I’m really excited kasi ‘yung ibang cast first time kong makakasama,” added Sharon, who is making her much-awaited teleserye comeback.
“Saving Grace” will introduce Zia Grace as Grace, the newest child actor who will capture viewers’ hearts in the role of an abused child seeking a mother’s love.
Anticipation is already high following ABS-CBN’s release of videos featuring Julia’s first day on set, cast look tests, behind-the-scenes photos, and script reading preparations.
Directed by FM Reyes and Dolly Dulu, the cast also includes Sophia Reola, Eric Fructuoso, Adrian Lindayag, Aya Fernandez, Mary Joy Apostol, Andrez Del Rosario, Fe de los Reyes, and Elisse Joson.
