In a recent interview with “Pulang Araw” head writer, Suzette Doctolero, on Updated with Nelson Canlas, she shared that Marian was one of the first actresses she thought of for the series.

Kapuso Primetime Princess Barbie Forteza’s role as Adelina Dela Cruz was originally meant for Marian, but it didn’t push through due to the story’s development.

Suzette conceived the concept for “Pulang Araw” back in 2012, while the epic series “Amaya”, also starring Marian, was still airing.

Suzette shared, “Naikuwento ko sa kaniya, tapos gustong-gusto niya na gawin niya ‘yung Pulang Araw at the time, kaya lang 12 years ago na ‘yun. Hindi niya natuloy at the time pa dahil nga too costly.”

She added, “Andodoon na rin ‘yung love story, ‘yung unang ginawa kong story ay kwento ng isang pag-iibigan ng dalawang lahi na sinira ng giyera. Part na siya ngayon ng kuwento ng AdeShi, ni Adelina at ni Hiroshi.”
