Liezel dela Cruz

Once again, Janine Gutierrez showcases her fierce acting prowess, this time as the formidable kontrabida, Iris Buenavidez, in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/lavenderfields" target="_blank">Lavender Fields</a>.” Her eyes convey a depth of emotion that words alone can’t express, and each line she delivers burns like hell. Marvel at her show-stopping performance through these scenes curated by Kapamilya Toplist.Janine is redefining what it means to be a kontrabida with her graceful yet powerful, no-holds-barred portrayal. If anyone had doubts about her ability to play the bad girl, they were quickly silenced after her unforgettable entrance. Her character, Iris, strutted into her husband Tyrone’s (Jericho Rosales) birthday party, stealing the spotlight as she screamed for the bodyguard to hand over her gift to Tyrone. As the guests watched in shock, Iris made Tyrone wear the gift in front of everyone, and her drunken state spiraled out of control when she vomited on Tyrone’s white jacket.In the next scene, she unleashed her fury on her staff member Freddie (Markus Paterson), showing no mercy when a large sum of money went missing from their company—the façade of the elegant, high-society woman stripped away to reveal the cold, calculating monster beneath.Balancing sensuality and danger, she flaunted her curves in a striking red bikini, seductively joining Tyrone in the pool. She kissed him hungrily, though he tried to distance himself. The way Janine shifted her expression—turning her sultry gaze into one filled with subtle fierceness—was truly magnetic. Iris is surely a woman who knows how to use her allure, but beneath that charm is a brewing storm of resentment and control.Tension escalated during a gripping confrontation where Iris refused to sign the annulment papers. Janine expertly portrayed Iris as dangerously unhinged, delivering a spine-chilling declaration: she’d rather see everyone dead than let Tyrone be with another woman. Iris sensed her husband’s betrayal, and Janine’s performance captured that gut instinct with every glance and movement.But it’s not all fury and suspicion—Janine shows depth in emotionally charged moments, like when Tyrone insists he wants to live a life without evil. Yet, in an instant, she turns from heartbroken to beastly, threatening that he can’t escape her that easily.She brought a subtle yet fierce intensity to her silent war with Zandro (Albert Martinez), the police investigator. When questioned about her unusually calm demeanor as a widow, she delivered a cutting response with such class, saying she wasn’t required to wail non-stop over her husband’s death.The tension soared when Iris noticed a basket of flowers at Tyrone’s wake. With suspicion in her eyes, she meticulously checked on the sender, sensing something amiss. Although Iris and Tyrone’s mistress, Jasmin (Jodi Sta. Maria), have not crossed paths yet, the scene was charged with anticipation as Iris knows deep down that something is being kept from her.The real climax came in a gripping face-off between Iris and Jasmin. In a thrilling, action-packed confrontation, Iris, pushed to the edge, pointed a gun at Jasmin, fully prepared to kill her after having her kidnapped by her father, Vito (Edu Manzano). But Jasmin fought back, managing to escape, leaving Iris even more hysterical.Janine’s portrayal of Iris is as layered as it is powerful. She’s like a force of nature pulling viewers into her dark, twisted world. Honestly, we can’t wait to see what she does next in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/lavenderfields" target="_blank">Lavender Fields</a>,” airing weeknights on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kapamilya-channel-12340" target="_blank">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/abscbnentertainment" target="_blank">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
