Fans of Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado can look forward to their upcoming action-drama series on GMA, tentatively titled Sanggang-Dikit. The project is a new challenge for the real-life couple as they take on a genre they haven’t explored before.
Both actors are excited about the series, noting its differences from their previous projects. The show requires extensive physical preparation, with numerous action and fight sequences. With stunts playing a significant role in the production, the series is expected to appeal to action fans.
Their last on-screen project together was the Kapuso drama series My Faithful Husband in 2015. Why did it take them so long to reunite for another show?
“It’s because of our daughter, Dylan. At least now, we’re more at ease leaving her with a nanny while we work. Unlike before, when she was still a baby—so innocent and fragile,” Dennis explained.
“Back then, I told myself I wouldn’t return to work until she could already speak, so I’d know how her day went. Now, she has learned so much, which gives me more confidence,” Jennylyn added.
The couple is also proud to be working alongside seasoned co-stars in their latest project including Zoren Legaspi, Allen Dizon, Roi Vinzon, Joross Gamboa, Sam Pinto, Marina Benipayo, Nova Villa, and Al Tantay.
“It’s going to be a fun set. We promise to push each other’s limits and give our best to deliver a quality and entertaining series,” they said

Meanwhile, Shaina Magdayao is set to be more visible this 2025.
“I’m really looking forward to being productive this year,” she said. “For one, I have an upcoming teleserye, although I can’t share details just yet. But I assure fans it’ll be worth the wait. There’s a lot to look forward to, and I’ll keep everyone updated through my social media accounts!”
Many are curious about her personal life.
“As in love life? Ha-ha-ha! Well, all I can say is that it’s steady. I mean, I’m always happy. That’s it!”
Is she dating but choosing to keep it private?
“It’s not like that. I just prefer a low profile. It’s better that way. I want a simple and quiet love life.”
When asked about her most romantic date, she shared, “You know, it’s the simplest ones. Nothing too grand, but private and intimate. That’s me. That’s my personality. As long as it’s sincere, I’m already happy with that.”
