Seth Fedelin and Francine Diaz, collectively known as FranSeth, might have worked together in several projects in the past, but “Dirty Linen” will be the first teleserye that they will be paired up as a love team.
Fedelin and Diaz first worked together in the ABS-CBN dramas “Kadenang Ginto” and “Huwag Kang Mangamba” but were paired up with Andrea Brillantes and Kyle Echarri, respectively. They were also among the original members of the youth-oriented unit, The Gold Squad, until they decided to pursue their showbiz careers as individuals.
The teen actor revealed that he’s grateful to work with Diaz again, but this time as an onscreen partner, at a “Dirty Linen” media conference that was live streamed on Dreamscape Entertainment’s Facebook page on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

“Actually, hindi kami nag-usap na magkasama kami sa project. Wala po kaming ganoon before pa kami i-announce ‘yun. Nagkita lang kami [sa storycon]… nung nakita ko ang mga kasama ko sa project, sino ba naman ako para tumanggi,” he added.
