Baron Geisler showed himself having fun at the filming set of the drama-thriller series “Senior High,” amid claims he will be removed from the show because of his being allegedly drunk during taping.
Geisler’s rumored removal from the show was apparently disclosed to Ogie Diaz by an insider from the TV series’ production team, as per the comedian-talent manager’s YouTube vlog on Sunday, Oct. 15.
“Gaano ka-totoo na merong isang artista na wala talagang choice kundi tanggalin sa seryeng ‘Senior High’?” Diaz said, speaking to his fellow hosts Loi Villarama and Brenda Lualhati.
(How true are the rumors that the production team has no choice but to remove an actor from “Senior High”?)
“Itong impormasyon ay nakuha lang naman natin mula sa isang source natin don sa ‘Senior High.’ Mukhang magde-desisyon na ang management na tanggalin itong aktor na ito kasi daw—’yan na nga ang sinasabi ko, na ang alak ay wala talagang gagawing mabuti sa katawan mo at sa pakikipagrelasyon mo sa mga kapwa artista,” Diaz continued.
(We got this information was from a source who is part of the “Senior High” production team. It appears that the management has decided to remove this actor because—as I have said, alcohol does nothing good to your body and to your relationship with fellow actors.)
The insider claimed that other cast members, especially the younger actors, were afraid of working with Geisler who was supposedly bringing a tumbler containing alcoholic drink to the filming set.
“Gaano katotoo, Baron Geisler, na ikaw ‘yung aalisin sa ‘Senior High’ e napaka-vital ng iyong role?” Diaz addressed Geisler. (Baron Geisler, how true are the rumors that you will no longer be part of “Senior High” even when your role is very vital in the show?)
“Kasi ‘yung ibang bata daw ay nagrereklamo na at natatakot sa kanyang lumapit lalo na ‘pag alam nila na hindi kape, soft drinks o tubig ang iniinom, kundi ang nakalagay sa kanyang tumbler ay ‘yun nga,” Diaz added.
(Some of the younger stars have apparently been complaining and have been afraid to approach Geisler because instead of coffee, soft drink or water, his tumbler contains [alcoholic drink].)
The source, per Diaz, also said that the production of an upcoming film, in which Geisler has a “vital role” as well, would no longer push through in casting the actor due to his drinking problem.
Geisler appeared to have addressed the rumors by showing a video of himself doing a scene at the set of “Senior High” via his X (formerly Twitter) page on Monday, Oct. 16.
“Eto oh. Saya sa set. (Look here. [We’re] having fun at the set.) We take our jobs seriously,” he wrote in the caption.

In a separate Instagram post, Geisler also shared a video taken while he was on his way to attend the taping of the TV series.
“I just want to say na I’m off to work and I’m really excited. Grabe ‘yung mga eksena, kaabang-abang. Especially ‘yung mga weeks to come,” he said, adding the hashtag “Senior High” in the caption.
