Julia Montes shares sneak peek of her character Anna in ‘Saving Grace’

Julia Montes shared a sneak peek into the story of her character in her upcoming series Saving Grace.

"Grace (played by Zia Grace) 'yung bata. Meron tayo sa buhay na akala natin tayo lang 'yung kailangan ng saving, akala mo ikaw lang 'yung lost, akala mo ikaw lang 'yung hindi okay," she teased in an interview with MJ Felipe in On Cue.

Julia continued. "Pero minsan pala merong tao na tutulungan ka and then 'yun ang magbabago ng buhay mo and with this story si Grace 'yung nagbago ng buhay ni Anna which is 'yung character na iple-play ko.

On what fans can expect from her character Anna, the actress replied: "With Anna ang dami niyang dreams, ang dami niyang plans parang siguro kung i-explain ko 'yung personality niya pag nag-plano siya, ito, kailangan magagawa ko ito."

She went on: "And then darating si Grace babaguhin niya 'yun and then dun ko nafe-feel na minsan kasi hindi mo naman kailangang maging kadugo ang isang tao para ma-feel mo 'yung love. With Grace na feel ko na ah ito pala 'yung love, ito pala 'yung hinahanap ko for a long time and dun mo makikita na hindi lang kailangan na galing sa'yo 'yung bata para mapamahal ka, may ganung factor siya."

According to the actress, the series is a mix of heavy drama and suspense. She added that the storyline is packed with emotions.

Other cast members of the series include Sharon Cuneta, Janice de Belen, Sam Milby, Jennica Garcia, and Christian Bables.

Julia remarked that she is fortunate to be able to work with such great actors and actresses for this series.

"Lahat ng kasama namin dito sa show, sobrang gagaling, lagi akong blessed. Kaya lagi kong sinasabi sa interview na isa sa mga blessings na binibigay sa akin ni Lord ay 'yung mga kasama ko sa show, or sa movie, or sa kahit saan kasi hindi ko naman po siya masasabi na ako lang 'yun, na nagawa ko 'yung isang eksena because prinaktis ko, or inaral ko, hindi eh. Hindi siya magwo-work kapag ikaw lang mag-isa," she said.

Julia further explained: "'Yung binibigay ng kapwa mo artista iyon 'yung magiging magic so swerte ako sa lahat ng mga nakatrabaho ko, sa lahat ng mga co-actors na na-experience ko in every show. Ang daming lessons. Kung ano ang nakikita nila sa akin na binibigay ko it is because of my co-actors," she added.

When asked why she decided to accept the project, she shared that she got interested because the story tackles social issues that are normally not being discussed.

"Maganda kasi 'yung lesson na ibibigay talaga ng series itself, material pa lang ang dami nang ibibigay sa tao at hindi natin masyadong nata-tackle sa Pilipinas ang child abuse. May part na ganun, actually big factor siya. Sa akin it's one of my dreams na magkaroon ng talk about that kasi akala niyo may isang taong makikita ka okay na, okay siya, or okay naman siya pero 'pag nalaman mo 'yung istorya niya, meron pala siyang pinagdaanan na ganito, pinagdaanan na ganyan, so parang dito gusto ko lang makita ng tao na let's be kind in every people na makahalubilo natin kasi hindi natin alam 'yung struggle niya," she said.

It was also the last project that the late Dreamscape executive Deo Endrinal offered to Julia.

"Special talaga sa akin 'yung project kasi 'yun ang huling usap namin ni Sir Deo (Endrinal). 'Yung plan for ‘Saving Grace’ is really big, ang ganda ng story, ang ganda ng lesson and story na gustong sabihin ng serye," she said.
