Lovi Poe continues to excite audience in 'Akin Pa Rin Ang Bukas'

GMA's Premier Actress Lovi Poe, who plays Lovelia in the currently running hit, "Akin Pa Rin Ang Bukas", continues to amaze the audience with her nearly naturalistic performance as a woman who is struggling between love, death and betrayal.

Clearly, the young actress is making her mark as her new character becomes the heroine that the prime-time viewers are beginning to root out and cheer for. In her GMA teleserye, Lovi's character chose love and with her newfangled husband, who was only out to exact vengeance on her stepsister, Agatha (Charee Pineda) whom in turn, had previously chosen Lovelia's father, Roel (Gary Estrada) over Jerry (Rocco Nacino). Conrad (Cesar Montano) expresses his apprehension about everything that has been happening to Lovelia, especially the marriage to Jerry, much to the disappointment of his paramour, Jade (Solenn Heussaff). He wanted Roel and Beatrice (Liza Lorena) to take Lovelia away from Jerry, but Roel's murder and Lovelia's disappearance thickens the plot and the mystery. Lovelia, in turn, discovers about the plan of Agatha and Jerry to take over her family's wealth. Recently, we saw the developments in the soap opera that makes it the best series to watch at night. 

Director Laurice Guillen is meticulous in making sure that it doesn’t develop into a nonsensical melodrama in which the plot meanders repetitiously. And its storyline goes into the direction in which the viewers discover a lot about the characters. For her part, Lovi is very happy with the reaction of the viewers with her serye. "Whenever I'm in a public place, the people call me Lovelia which is my character's name", says the actress. "I feel overjoyed and contented with the audience's acceptance towards the show", she adds. Indeed, Lovi is preparing for the next phase of the show, which is her character's transformation. "I'm very excited about it", confesses Lovi, "I can hardly wait", she says, with a smile.

"Akin Pa Rin ang Bukas" airs week nights at 9:30 pm on GMA. The show also stars Miss Jaclyn Jose and Miss Gloria Romero.
