 After keeping viewers and local media in suspense, Alessandra De Rossi finally revealed her role in her first major Kapamilya teleserye, Tayong Dalawa, which also stars Kim Chiu, Gerald Anderson, and Jake Cuenca. “Ako si Greta, kaibigan and kababata ni JR (played by Gerald); Inaanak ako ng mommy niya so parang magkapamilya na talaga kami. Since sabay na kami lumaki feeling ko meant to be kami. Pero siyempre nung malaman ko na hindi pala niya ako mahal, dun na magii-start yung kontrabida factor ko,” she happily confided to ABS-CBN.com during the cast pictorial.
Aside from the fact that she and Kim are vying for Gerald’s love, the perky actress feels challenged with the depth of acting that the role calls for. “In fairness, mas pinipiga ako. Parang ganon ang nangyayari dito (Tayong Dalawa) eh. They want to see a different Alex (as she is fondly called by her close friends) daw. Siyempre ‘di ba dapat bawat show iba ang attack mo, hindi pwedeng kontrabida ka lang tapos same acting. So ngayon wino-work out ko kung ano nga ba’ng difference yung dapat kong gawin. Mas maganda yun para hindi ka ma-compare dun sa dating roles,” she mused.
Though it would mean lots of tiring taping days for her, Alessandra is determined to put her best foot forward as she ventures into a much bolder route this time around. “Excited kasi first time ko magkontrabida na mahirap yung role ko eh. Usually kasi mayaman, glamor, nang-aapi lang. This time, ‘eto na GRO naman. Nakakatuwa rin pero siyempre medyo kinakabahan ako sa mga outfit kasi magtataray ka ng naka-plunging eh wala ka rin namang maipapakita,” she quipped. “Hindi ko alam kung gaano ka-sexy kasi hindi ko pa masyadong nae-explore kung ano’ng mangyayari, basta magiging customer ko dito si Jake. Dun papasok yung angle naming dalawa.”
With such a promising career turn, no wonder Alessandra moved to ABS-CBN several months back. “Ito talaga yung dahilan kung bakit ako lumipat. Actually iba yung kwento [dun sa pinirmahan ko]. Pero okay na rin ito, pareho lang naman. [Ang sabi] magkakaroon ako ng soap na drama, tapos ngayon nandito na siya. At saka happy ako kasi yung mga makakasama ko dito pamilyar na sa akin. Si Agot nakasama ko dati sa Okatokat for three months. Si Helen (Gamboa), first time sa work pero since best friend ko si Danica (Sotto) and family sila lagi ko rin siyang nakikita kapag may gatherings. Si Gina Pareño naman nakatrabaho ko na iyan noon-noon pa, pati si Mylene Dizon, at si Jake na parang galing din ng kabila,” she intoned.
The fact that she’s good friends with Jake has truly helped her feel at home here on the Kapamilya network. “Yun, si Jake talaga. Sa lahat ng tao, siya talaga yung nagte-text palagi na, ‘Kumusta ka na’, ‘Okay ka na ba’, yung mga ganon. Alam kasi niya yung mga pinagdadaanan ko since friends talaga kami. Si Sir Deo (Endrinal, ABS-CBN Business Unit Head) rin may time na nag-text sa akin na huwag na daw ako malungkot, masaya raw dito, ganyan. Dito sa ABS-CBN wala naman ako’ng nakitang problema, na may maldita or masama ugali—wala talaga. Kumbaga kung ano man yung kaartehan ko and lungkot-lungkutan factor, personal issues ko yun,” she stressed.
