Some stars tend to take their hard-won popularity for granted, so we keep reminding our fave luminaries that they’re only as good and bankable as their last performance.

JaDine’s drama series is significant because it delves into LGBT issues. This is a departure for ABS-CBN shows, which usually tend to play it safe and “family-oriented,” while GMA 7 is the TV network known for “edgier” dramas.

As for “Barcelona,” the fact that Lamasan is directing the KathNiel love team is a clear signal that the tandem is slowly but surely being eased out of their limiting “tweendom” and will be pushed hard to come up with more young-adult portrayals.

Other stars and love teams are following suit with their own “more eventful” new starrer, so the word’s out to all of the lazy laggards out there: This year, if you want to at least keep up with the stellar competition, strike while the iron is hot!
