The team was in Batangas where the fictional Fiero mansion was set up. They first came across director Onat Diaz, who expressed excitement for their beautiful and satisfying finale. His co-director Andoy Ranay looked back on their earliest scenes, which they filmed at a beach resort – and on his birthday. Talk about dedication!The first cast member they cornered was Angel Aquino, who revealed the endless ‘kwentuhan’ that happens off-cam, especially when they&#x27;re having their makeup done. “’Dirty Linen’ is a talk show,&quot; she quipped. On a serious note, she will miss working with this bunch of acting virtuosos, whose performances never fail to leave her in awe. She is a fan of her co-actors and their show and is grateful for the teamwork they have built. “Kailangan kapit-kapit talaga,” she noted.Angel also mentioned their community pantry on the set which was started by Xyriel Manabat, who brings her mom’s baked goodies for everyone to share. This prompted Xyriel to turn ‘senti’ over her last ‘latag’ or her last time setting up the table with food.Epy Quizon might be the hitman of the Fieros, but off-cam, he’s the mastermind of jokes and pranks. He jestingly named John Arcilla as his least favorite co-actor “kasi lagi akong binabatukan, eh.” ‘Kulitan’ aside, he calls it an “honor” to have worked with the ensemble cast, “Marami akong natutunan kasi ang gagaling ng mga kasama ko.”Reflecting on the last eight months of taping, Janice de Belen credits the team’s organic camaraderie with weaving flawless scenes, “Hindi naman nila nakikita ‘yung ginagawa natin ‘pag walang camera. So, hindi nila alam na bonded na lahat. Eh, imagine-in mo, ‘pag on-cam, ‘yung interaction n’yo is so natural kaya masaya siyang panoorin.”As Zanjoe Marudo puts it, the friendship they have forged is the best thing that happened, the one special gift that makes all their hard work worth it. “Well, nakakapagod ‘tong ginawa natin. Alam naman natin na hindi ganu’n ka-simple itong project na ginawa natin. Pero nag-enjoy tayo, nagtulong-tulong tayong lahat,” imparted the hunk actor, who has become the “idol” of the younger cast members.“Nakaka-sepanx kasi sobrang love ko kayong lahat,” Janine Gutierrez told FranSeth. The viewers will sure miss Alexa/Mila, too. After all, she’s one of those who originally showcased “mata-mata” acting on the show.“Sepanx” is real for Christian Bables, who cried on Jennica Garcia’s shoulder during the team’s exchange of goodbyes. Jennica, trying to hold back her tears, gives props to the writers, for they have created the backbone of the teleserye, and in the process, have pushed the actors’ talent. In her words, “Gusto kong isipin na sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulat ng ating mga writers, napakita ko kung ano pa ‘yung mga kaya kong gawin. Kasi marami siyang disguise.”She added that while they feel sad, they also look forward to escaping from the heavy emotions they’ve carried as their characters in the past eight months.Veteran actor Joel Torre further related that it has been an exhausting experience, “Ang problema ko, hindi ko maalis-alis ‘yung character ko. Kasi pag-uwi ko, driver pa rin ako.” He also reflected on their collaboration, especially that of Team Resbak.CJ Navato compared their feeling to that of a graduating student – bittersweet. They’re happy to have completed the teleserye, and at the same time, it’s always hard to say goodbye to things and faces that you’ve grown so familiar with.As the series approaches its finale, the cast members thank the viewers for their intense support and positive feedback on social media.Angel shared, “No’ng tinanggap namin itong materyal na ito, we knew it’s a good material. Pero hindi namin in-expect na pati kayo makaka-appreciate the way we appreciate the material.”“Ramdam namin na talagang tutok na tutok talaga kayo sa kwento,” smiled Janine.Don’t miss the remaining episodes of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen">Dirty Linen</a> on <a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com/">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
