The recognition for Mutya Orquia and Kolette Madelo continues to grow, as they are the heart of the GL pairing between Louisa Mae Soria and young Liezel Basa in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/what-lies-beneath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Lies Beneath.</a>” Their heart-fluttering on-screen chemistry makes them fan favorites, leaving viewers curious about their offscreen dynamics.That chemistry shines even brighter, along with their relatable takes, in the January 16 episode of Kapamilya Chat, where viewers get to see their real-life friendship and honest personalities in the “What Lies Beneath Challenge” inspired by their show.Spot on with the first question, the young actresses are asked for their verdict on how many chances one should give someone who hurt them. Mutya offers an open-minded perspective, noting that it depends on the situation but ultimately zeroes in on serious offenses, especially if repeated: “One is enough, two is too much.”“[Kasi] I already gave you a chance, so bakit pa nangyari ulit?” she adds.For the sweet Kolette, she emphasizes that she often chooses to give second chances, especially when she sees potential for someone to change for the better, remarking that everyone deserves another chance.Mutya unexpectedly chimes in, reminding Kolette to be careful with being too kind: “Basta dapat i-earn [‘yung second chance] ha,” she says.On the topic of letting go as a sign of weakness or strength, both agree that it is undeniably a strength. Kolette leads the conversation and explains that letting go takes courage, especially when you love someone.Mutya builds on Kolette’s point, describing herself as someone who takes time to let go because she is a fighter. She clarifies that when she senses the other person isn’t willing to fight for her, that is when she chooses to stop—and knows it is for the better.For the concluding question, asking what has made them happy recently, Kolette immediately shares about her blessings, including Mutya, her “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/what-lies-beneath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Lies Beneath</a>” role, and her overall work as a rising actress.Likewise, Mutya highlights her loved ones—family and friends—along with her work and travelling. She quips, “Medyo gala ako ngayon.”Will there be unseen moments with Louisa and Liezel resurfacing? Catch “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/what-lies-beneath" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">What Lies Beneath</a>” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, ALLTV, and <a href="https://app.iwanttfc.com/dFR6MWHAcVb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">iWant.</a>
