Bea Alonzo and Dennis Trillo will be returning as onscreen partners in the upcoming teleserye “Love Before Sunrise,” 20 years after the youth-oriented series “K2BU” that paired them together.
Alonzo and Trillo’s reunion project was confirmed by GMA-7’s “24 Oras” on Monday, March 6, which was said to be a partnership between the Kapuso network and a streaming platform.
“Siguro ngayon ‘yung perfect timing na pagsamahin kaming dalawa dahil doon sa experience namin sa film and TV, para siyang movie na dinala sa telebisyon,” Trillo said in the report.
(This is the perfect timing for the both of us to be paired up together since based on our experience in film and TV, it would feel like a movie being brought to the screen.)
The “Start-Up PH” star admitted that the project would be exciting for her since she’s been wanting to return to dramatic roles.
“Ito ‘yung drama na puro iyakan, masasakit na salita, masasakit na sitwasyon, at excited akong gawin at excited akong bumalik sa drama,” she added. (This would be a drama that is full of tears, painful words, and difficult situations, which I’m very excited to do. I’m also very excited to return to drama.)
Alonzo and Trillo will also be joined by Andrea Torres and Sid Lucero, as per GMA-7.
Reports of “Love Before Sunrise” first emerged in January 2023 during a partnership contract signing between the Kapuso network and the streaming platform.
The Kapuso actors first worked together in the 2002 show “K2BU” which aired on ABS-CBN, alongside Shaina Magdayao and Pia Wurtzbach.
They were also part of Star Magic Batch 10 which was unveiled to the public in 2001. EDV
