As <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen">Dirty Linen</a> nears its explosive end, cast member Christian Bables chatted with us to look back on his unforgettable moments as Max Dionisio, one of which is his confrontation scene with Zanjoe Marudo’s Aidan.In that scene, Max was captured by the cops. He was forced to face Aidan and was asked to confess his group’s schemes. However, he vowed to keep his silence. Here, Christian delivered his loathsome best, trying to provoke Aidan by mocking his family. He punctuated his dialogues with manic laughter, knowing that his words make Aidan squirm.“’Yun ang unang beses na masasabi ko right straight to a Fiero’s face na, ‘This is what you did to my father. Lamunin mo ‘yan,’” he recalled. It was certainly a challenging scene, and Christian brought it alive to perfection with his impactful theatrics.He and his castmates give their best in every scene, thus they’re grateful for the support and positive feedback pouring in for their show since day one. “Nararamdaman talaga namin na lahat ‘yung hard work, effort namin para pagandahin ‘yung show, eh talagang na-appreciate ng mga tao,” he told Kapamilya Chat.Max is a complex character. He’s loyal, true to his word, and loving to the point of sacrificial. At the same time, as Christian puts it, his actions are too calculated that sometimes he pushes his loved ones to further danger.Portraying Max is truly one for the books. Add to that, working with an ensemble cast with whom he’s grown like a family. He described them one by one, starting off with Seth Fedelin, “Iba ‘yung willingness niya to dive and make his craft better. Magaling si Seth. I appreciate that kid.”On Joel Torre, he remembers sharing a short scene with him in a past project and giving it his best thinking it might not happen again. But much to his surprise, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen">Dirty Linen</a> gave him the chance to play the veteran actor’s foster son. That’s why he promised to cherish their every scene together.Asked about Jennica Garcia, whom fans are shipping him with, Christian spoke of pure admiration and friendship. “’Pag kaming dalawa ang pinaarte, ‘pag kaming dalawa ang pinagharap, para kaming nabubuo. Para kaming puzzle pieces na bawat hininga at bawat kurap ng mga mata namin alam namin kung ano’ng ibig sabihin. Ramdam namin bawat hibla ng soul namin ‘pag kami ‘yung umaarte.” And as avid viewers, we can all agree that incredible things happen whenever Max and Lala share the screen. “‘Yung pagkabuo ng puso ng bawat karakter, ‘yun ang hindi mo matatawaran sa amin ni Jennica,” he smiled.Of course, he wishes to work with her again. And if given a chance, he would like them to explore other genres like horror.On Janine Gutierrez, he expressed, “Lagi kong sinasabi na ang swerte naman namin kasi ang ganda na ng katrabaho namin, ang galing pa. Eye candy si Janine, para talaga siyang buhay na manika sa personal, at the same time, ibibigay niya sa’yo ‘yung kailangan niya sa eksena.” He calls working with Janine an “honor and a happy experience.”Asked who he thinks is the dirtiest character in the serye, he answered, “Si Carlos [John Arcilla] kasi ang dami na niyang sinaktan para makuha ‘yung gusto niya.”“But hindi magiging gano’ ka-dirty si Carlos kung wala si Leona [Janice de Belen] sa likod niya. Hindi niya make-create si Carlos kung wala siya.”Catch the remaining episodes of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/dirtylinen">Dirty Linen</a>, weeknights, on <a href="https://kapamilyachannel.com">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
