The much-awaited ending of GMA 7’s longest-running and top-rating afternoon series The Half Sisters finally happened on GMA Afternoon Prime as the program aired its final episode on Friday.
The Half Sisters brought laughter and tears to the viewers and dominated its timeslot with high TV ratings. And due to the clamor of viewers, it was rewarded several extensions and continues to remain at the top for more than one year and eight months since it premiered in June 2014.
As the series ended onFriday, Barbie Forteza, Thea Tolentino, Andre Paras and Jean Garcia shared their most memorable scenes.
Barbie, who played the role of Diana, said she had a lot unforgettable scenes while doing the series but definitely treasures her trip to Japan since it was her first out-of-the-country experience.
Thea, who portrayed Ashley, said the most memorable moment in the show was when Jean Garcia slapped her many times for a crucial scene. “Siyempre yung sampal pa rin ni Miss Jean Garcia. Yung apat na sunod-sunod. ‘Yun talaga ang hindi ko makakalimutan dahil uminit ang pisngi ko noon siguro ng more than an hour.”
Andre, said he would definitely miss all his co-stars because they really got close on and off cam, “The most memorable scenes are the ones behind the camera because we get to bond with each other.” He also revealed that while doing the show he learned “to always be humble and to always be himself.”
And Jean who played Rina said she would never forget the episodes “when I became blind. That was a first for me and talagang nung una nangapa ako…I thought madali lang pero hindi pala…mahirap pero I enjoyed it kasi it was a different challenge for me as an actress.” She will miss everyone in the show most especially his teen co-stars, “First time ko nakatrabaho sila Barbie, Thea, Andre pero kahit mga anak ang turing ko sa kanila, we became real friends. We gave all our energy, dedication and passion to The Half Sisters kaya isa rin siguro yan sa nag-sustain sa amin para manatiling no. 1. Hindi lamang kaming mga artista at director kundi lahat ng involve(d) sa show gave their best! Kaya this is one show I will never forget.”
