HULING napanood sa Annaliza last year si Denise Laurel na happy sa muling pagbabalik niya sa Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita, with Vina Morales and bagets stars mula sa PBB All-In na sina Joshua Garcia, Loisa Andalio, Jerome Ponce at Jane Oineza.

Excited si Denise na nakasama niya sa unang pagkakataon si Vina.

“It’s experimental and I’m working with Ms. Vina Morales. It’s the first time we’re doing a soap together and it’s nice to have someone I can talk to about being a single mom and at the same time the kids in the cast, I know it’s alanganin because we’re only a few years apart but maybe because I’m a mom and it makes me mature, I still find time to giggle and play with them. I’m looking forward to getting to know them because when I was their age there was nobody to guide me, there was nobody to support me. So now I’m looking forward to being the person that I never had,” sabi ng pretty character actress.

Sa nakaraan niyang roles gaya ng sa Precious Heart Romances, kung hindi mang-aagaw ng karelasyon ay tagalandi rin ng mga leading man ang roles, seductive, pa-sexy at kontrabida.

“I think that just because a woman loves fashion and a woman feels confident doesn’t mean that they’re not religious. In fact it should show more just how much they love what God gave them. At the same time, how much they’re secure in how they are. God doesn’t make mistakes, he’s an artist and we’re all unique. I feel like I don’t have to prove it to anyone. When people get to know me, then they’ll know. I get it all the time. They always say, ‘When I first met you, akala ko mataray ka. Akala ko maarte ka or woman of the world ka. But you know what, you’re the complete opposite pala.’

“I’m just very bubbly and I love people around me being happy all the time. I like people being harmonious, that’s why I’m always making jokes, I’m always laughing, I’m always loud kasi feeling ko I like equalizing the energy of the room and when I see people sad gusto ko pinapatawa ko sila,” mahaba-habang kuwento ni Denise.

Hindi naman daw porke’t mang-aagaw o malandi ang ginagampanan niyang roles, ganoon na siya sa tunay na buhay.

“I love fashion and I love art and I’m an actress, so you know I just want to be me and once they get to know me and they realize na I’m religious pala, sarado Katoliko and very traditional and even if I’m a single mom, I still live with my family. I’m not going to leave until I get married. A lot of the values of traditional Filipino culture is instilled in me and hindi lang halata kasi barok ako mag-Tagalog,” sabay tawa.

“I think Direk Cathy (Garcia-Molina) told me one time, ‘The reason I think why you do all the Precious Hearts Romances is because ‘yung features mo malandi,’ and then it made sense to me. When I was younger kasi I didn’t understand why people would have a misconception of me because I was always so loving and I felt that I was truthful to everyone and I would feel bad because people would pick on me. But then I realized yung features ko pala, it makes me look malandi!

“I look mataray,” natawa uling sabi, “so now I just throw on a smile and people who get to know me will know the truth.”
