Judy Ann Santos is reportedly linked to an upcoming series titled ‘The Bagman,’ where she is slated to portray the role of the Philippine president. She will be joined by acclaimed actors including John Arcilla, winner of the Best Actor award at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, and Arjo Atayde, who received accolades at the 3rd Asian Academy Creative Awards.

Meanwhile, Jennylyn Mercado, who has yet to renew her contract with GMA Network, recently concluded her comeback teleserye ‘Love. Die. Repeat.’ and is currently focused on producing an album under Star Music.

However, the spotlight recently shifted to Nadine Lustre following a tweet from Eric John Salut, head of AdProm at Dreamscape. In his tweet, Salut expressed missing Nadine Lustre, punctuating his message with a violet heart emoji, a signature symbol often associated with Dreamscape’s projects and brand identity.

Reacting to Salut’s tweet, a netizen commented, “Sana po bumalik na si Nadine, another project po for her.” Salut responded, “I know! Feeling ko, may bago syang maibibigay in a teleserye. Kaka-miss no?”

This tweet sparked renewed speculation about Lustre potentially signing with ABS-CBN Studios and Dreamscape Entertainment for an upcoming project slated for release on a streaming platform.

Lustre’s previous teleseryes, ‘On The Wings of Love’ and ”Till I Met You,’ were both produced under Dreamscape Entertainment, where she gained popularity alongside her former boyfriend and on-screen partner James Reid.

Despite her recent focus on movies and music ventures, including self-produced projects, Lustre’s return to the daily teleserye format, widely followed by Filipino viewers, is eagerly anticipated. Her last teleserye aired seven years ago, and plans for her comeback in 2020 were disrupted by the pandemic and ABS-CBN’s operational challenges.
