<p>MANILA — Fans of &quot;Wildflower&quot; are in for a &quot;wilder&quot; ride as Maja Salvador, who portrayed the ruthless Lily Cruz in the hit drama, takes on another teleserye lead role via the upcoming &quot;The Killer Bride.&quot;</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">One of the central mysteries of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheKillerBride?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheKillerBride</a> is the “possession” of Emma (Janella Salvador) by the titular character Camilla (Maja Salvador) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ABSCBNNews</a> <a href="https://t.co/69TCAScsWs">pic.twitter.com/69TCAScsWs</a></p>— Miguel Dumaual (@migueldumaual) <a href="https://twitter.com/migueldumaual/status/1144555342484787200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2019</a></blockquote><div><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Salvador, 30, will portray the titular character Camilla, a woman whose forbidden love with the scion of a rival family results in her apparent death on their wedding day.</p><p>Joining Salvador in the cast is returning Kapamilya actor Geoff Eigenmann as Vito, Camilla&#x27;s love interest; and the fresh team-up of Janella Salvador and Joshua Garcia, who play Emma and Elias, respectively.</p><p>One of the central mysteries of &quot;The Killer Bride,&quot; the cast revealed, is Emma&#x27;s claim of &quot;possession&quot; by the ghost of Camilla.</p><p>&quot;Mas wild!&quot; Maja Salvador said, when asked how she would compare the new ABS-CBN series with the decidedly camp and action-packed &quot;Wildflower.&quot;</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qp99fdEVUFE?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div><p>&quot;Ang pinagkaiba niya sa ibang teleserye,&quot; she explained, &quot;kung iyong iba, pinaglalaban ang pagmamahalan, ito, &#x27;yung taong minamahal mo, &#x27;yung taong pinagkakatiwalaan mo, hindi mo alam, siya ang puwedeng pumatay sa &#x27;yo.&quot;</p><p>The cast members spoke with ABS-CBN News during the recent media announcement of &quot;The Killer Bride,&quot; which is billed as a gothic romance series set in the fictional Las Espadas.</p><p>The death of Camilla, according to Janella Salvador, sets off a &quot;curse&quot; that grips the superstitious town with fearful stories of a vengeful, killer bride. Emma, her character, arrives in Las Espadas as a supposed vessel of Camilla, triggering fresh conflicts as well as her own love story with the skeptical Elias.</p><p>Whether the casting of the two Salvadors, who are real-life distant relatives, was inspired by the ties of their characters in &quot;The Killer Bride&quot; remains to be seen. The two were tight-lipped on the fate of Camilla, and whether there is truth to Emma&#x27;s possession. The younger Salvador, however, did offer that Emma is a mortuary makeup artist.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">“Mas wild!” Maja Salvador described <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheKillerBride?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheKillerBride</a> as more intense than her previous hit drama <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wildflower?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Wildflower</a>.
