JUST A THOUGHT: “Don’t think there are no second chances.
Life always offers you a SECOND CHANCE… It’s called
TOMORROW.” – Nicholas Sparks
PWEDE PA: One good thing with today’s young people, exes can
become friends.
Such is what happens to former reel-and-real loveteam Joross
Gamboa and Roxanne Guinoo-Yap, known as ‘JoRox,’ in their
limelight time.
Now mature and leading separate lives, their paths cross anew in
a romcom series that premiered Jan. 18 on iwantTFC.
The JorRox reunion project, is called “Hoy, Love You!”
It’s the story of two single parents, with children of their own from previous relationships, who unexpectedly find love.
Joross says the story is more age-appropriate for the two of them, compared to their projects during their SCQ (‘Star Circle Quest’) days.
PRIVATE LIVES: In real life, both Joross and Roxanne are married to their partners, and with children, too.
There was a time they both thought it was impossible to work together again. They had this cold-shoulder period marked by lack of communication.
Whatever wounds they might have imposed on one another in the past have healed wonderfully, so that Joross and Roxanne can now laugh about the silliness of youth.
Much of what they adlib on “Hoy, Love You!” are drawn from their own personal experiences, private jokes and all.
Joross says, “The topic is mature in nature, but the series is full
of humor at the same time.’’
The 6-part series is produced on location in Lobo, Batangas.
Joross plays a building contractor while Roxanne is an interior
designer.
Will their respective children approve of their newfound
relationship?
