What excites, challenges Janine about being Iris in “Lavender Fields”

Mary Ann Bardinas

The happiness and excitement were indeed evident in the aura of “Asia’s Rising Star” Janine Gutierrez, as she arrived at the media junket hosted by Dreamscape Entertainment for its much-awaited powerhouse drama of 2024, “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/lavenderfields" target="_blank">Lavender Fields</a>.” While she’s been adored by a lot of people, especially her supporters, not just for her entrancing splendor but for being so endearing in real life and being a great actress on television and film, we’re going to perhaps feel differently about her as she portrays the alluring yet feisty woman Iris Buenavidez – her first-ever kontrabida role.Iris is described as “matindi kung umibig, malupit kung magalit.” Her being quick-tempered, scheming, and cruel may be detestable, but her devotion to husband and family and fighting spirit as a woman can be admirable.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3066173"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>She may look like an angel, but she can be the most wicked person that one can encounter because she’ll do everything to fight for whatever belongs to her, such as the affection of her beloved husband, Tyrone de Vera (Jericho Rosales). Besides, she’s also fervent to get even with those who will cross her, especially the other woman of Tyrone, who will turn out to be Jodi Sta. Maria’s character, Jasmine Flores.Instead of setting her spouse free from their rocky marriage and allowing him to be happy with his newfound love, Iris will refuse to let him go and exact vengeance on the seemingly oblivious Jasmine for taking him away from her. Even though Tyrone’s infidelity is totally painful, she will definitely not brood or cry about it day and night, as she doesn’t want to become a pitiful victim but a relentless warrior in this battle.For sure, there are people out there who might be asking why Janine accepted a kontrabida role that will draw hate from viewers, but she’s actually grateful that she has been given this opportunity.“Sobrang ganda ng kuwento, grabe ang cast, I was excited about the action, dream kong maka-work si Ate Jodi [and] si Jericho. So, I’m grateful talaga,” she enthused during the media junket.<div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3066172"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>In addition, she’s apparently yearning to do something different or show the viewers a different side of her that we have not seen yet, which became possible through this series. She told the press, “It’s something that I’ve never really done before. Bukod do’n, malayo rin siya sa kung paano ako sa totoong buhay. So, talagang medyo nahirapan ako sa pagtalon kung paano ko ba gagawin o gaganapan itong role ni Iris. I’m excited na maipakita naman ‘yong ibang klase ng woman versus woman.”Are you as thrilled as us to see Janine Gutierrez take on her first-ever kontrabida role as Iris Buenavidez?
