IT'S confirmed! ABS-CBN's Queen of Pinoy Soap Opera Judy Ann Santos is staging her teleserye comeback soon. Juday is gearing up for her teleserye comeback this 2018. She revealed this during her Facebook Live Q&A Session for Judy Ann's Kitchen Facebook page Thursday, May 3.
Judy Ann, who is dubbed as the Queen of Pinoy Soap Operas, answered a netizen who asked if she will be doing a movie or a teleserye this year.
The 39-year-old actress answered, "No there are no movies coming soon but we are working on a new teleserye this coming... this coming week! Hahaha! Coming na po yan, hindi ko lang alam kung kailan, but it's coming!"
Last February 2018, Juday met up with the executives of Dreamscape Entertainment, one of ABS-CBN's drama units. The actress was joined by Dreamscape business unit head Deo Endrinal. Juday wrote back then, "teleserye soon... thank you to my abs cbn and dreamscape family for trusting me with another show. #godisgood #gratefulheart"
This upcoming series will serve as Judy Ann's comeback after five years of not doing teleseryes. Her last TV series was the 2013 series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala, which aired for 10 weeks. In 2015, Judy Ann was supposed to stage her teleserye comeback via the series Someone To Watch Over Me, together with Richard Yap and Diether Ocampo.
The series had already canned its pilot week. However, Judy Ann became pregnant. ABS-CBN decided to put the series on hold and eventually shelved the project. Judy Ann's last TV stint was for the third run of her game show Bet On Your Baby, which aired its last episode in September 2017.

Moira dela Torre announces her engagement to Jason Marvin Hernandez via her latest music video for the song "Tagpuan." The 24-year-old singer made the announcement through the music video for her latest single, "Tagpuan," which was released on Sunday, April 29.
The first three minutes of the eight-minute music video features Moira looking back at her painful memories. To her surprise, the next few parts weren't part of the original script presented to her. Jason proposed to her on the cliff while the sun sets.
He told Moira before popping the question, "I have never been more sure and I've never been more ready my entire life and this moment. "'Cause I know I have the wingman with me and I know na Siya ang nag-orchestrate nito."
Kapamilya star John Prats directed the music video, while Sam Milby did the editing. Moira also posted some photos on her Instagram account, Sunday, April 29. She wrote, "On a cliff at sunset, my best friend asked me the easiest question I have ever had to answer. I love you my Jason"
On his Instagram, Jason said he is happy to find "the one" in his "best friend." He wrote, "All my life I’ve been searching for 'the one', not knowing that she’s been my bestfriend all along. I love you forever my @moirarachelle"
In a separate post, he added, "Soon, I won’t be walking alone anymore." The couple, however, didn't reveal the exact date of their engagement. Moira admitted that she and her fiancé have already been talking about settling down. She explained, "Yes, of course. I was never a fan of going with the flow.
"I think it's a waste of emotions when, you know... I think it's very crucial to think about the future when you're investing your life and emotions to someone."
In December 2017, Moira officially introduced Jason to her biological father, who's currently based in the US. "I spent time with my family [in the US]. My dad lives in the States and my my and my other dad went to the States as well for Christmas. "So it's nice to have both families in one country and finally get to introduce my boyfriend to my dad's side of the family."

It's true! Money can't buy everything! The unkaboggable star Vice Ganda admits he has almost everything that money can buy. But he still feels emptiness. Like Sarah Geronimo who also confessed battling with depression.
Vice explained: “I actually experienced the same thing recently. Na-depressed ako. I underwent depression. Kumonsulta ako sa doktor at humingi ng professional help. Hindi ako nakakatulog, nagkakaroon ako ng anxiety attack, may mga atake sa akin na nahihirapan akong magtrabaho.”
He thought of taking a break from showbiz.
“Nagpaalam nga ako sa management. Tinanong ko kung puwede bang hindi na ako mag-filmfest, puwede bang magbawas ako ng show. Naging ganun ako."
Vice sought the help of celebrity couple Regine Velasquez and Ogie Alcasid.
“Nag-usap kami, nag-share ako sa kanila... as in ang dami kong narinig sa kanila. Ang pinakamagandang natutunan ko, yung sinabing, 'The mind is the playground of the devil.'"
Being an artist brings a lot of blessings, however, it also brings a lot of obligations.
“Kasi lahat tayo may purpose, e. E, yung devil, pinaglalaruan yung utak namin para hindi namin ma-serve yung purpose namin. Feeling ko, ang devil, pinaglaruan yung utak ko para malungkot ako at hindi ako makapagpatawa. Para isipin kong pagod na ako at umayaw na ako, para isipin kong hindi ako blessed at hindi ako masaya, para malungkot ako.
"When, in fact, I felt I am so blessed. I am so happy pala. Hindi ko lang 'to napapansin...The devil’s playing around with our mind para hindi natin ma-serve yung purpose natin, e, ang ganda-ganda ng purpose.”
The bankable star also said that rest is a must.
“Hindi puwedeng masaya ka lang. Kailangan nakakapagpahinga ka rin. Pero mahalaga yung mindset na piliin mo yung masaya. Kailangan labanan mo talaga yung kalungkutan. Isipin mo kung ano yung nagpapasaya sa ‘yo. Kasi iniisip ko yun, e. I thought I felt I was empty."
He also told himself...
"Ba’t ganun, andami kong pera, blockbuster mga pelikula ko, hit ang mga shows ko... ba’t hindi ako masaya? Nandiyan naman ang pamilya ko. Ba’t hindi ako masaya?"
Eventually, he learned something...
“Masaya naman pala ako. Pinaglaruan lang talaga ako ng devil para hindi ko makita yung happiness sa puso ko at makita ko lang yung inaakala kong lungkot na meron ako.”
