<p>Barely a year since his last teleserye “Ngayon At Kailanman” aired, Joshua Garcia will take on yet another lead role in a new series billed as a “gothic romance” scheduled for a release this year.</p><p>During the cast’s promotional shoot for “The Killer Bride” held Tuesday, the 21-year-old actor said he’s thrilled for his small screen comeback as Elias, the love interest of Janella Salvador’s character.</p><p>“Ako ‘yung happy happy lang dito. Parang walang problema, pero dadating ‘yung time na, pagsususpetsahan ko kasi si Janella eh, parang imbestigador ako doon,” he said.</p><p>Joshua described his working relationship with his new leading lady as “professional”.</p><div><img alt="" src="https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/push/push/media/july-2019/071019/bts-janella-and-joshua.jpg"/></div><p>“Na-enjoy ko… Masaya siya kasama. Relax lang kami sa taping lahat,” he said.</p><p>“I’m happy, siyempre,” he added, when asked about his thoughts on their tandem, coined “JoshNella”, earning raves from fans as early as now. “Kasi may sumusuporta. Kasi, sabi ko nga, ‘yung mga artista, makakita lang ‘yan ng konting suporta sa mga tao, nakakagaan na talaga magtrabaho. Parang, ‘Gagawin ko ‘to for them para proud sila sa akin’. Ganun.”</p><p>Aside from Joshua, fans are anticipating the return of the ‘Wildflower’ star, the woman who brought to life the iconic character Lily Cruz, Maja Salvador, who is set to portray the titular role in “The Killer Bride”. It centers on the story of Camilla, whose ghost will seek revenge through Emma, a mortuary makeup artist (Janella), after apparently getting killed on the day of her wedding to a scion of a rival family, Vito (Geoff Eigenmann).</p><figure><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="573" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qp99fdEVUFE" width="1019"></iframe></figure><div><u><strong><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2019/7/9/fresh-scoops/patay-siya-kay-killer-bride-maja-salvador-laugh-211349">READ:‘Patay siya kay Killer Bride’: Maja Salvador laughs off engagement rumors</a></strong></u></div><p>Directed by Dado Lumibao, the series is scheduled for a release this August.
