NAKAPAGTATAKANG pinakawalan agad noon ng GMA 7 si Cristine Reyes.
Cristine started with them as a member of the fi rst batch of StarStruck. She was the first to be eliminated in herbatch of 14 wannabes. Now, after 10 years, she is the biggest star among them, bigger than winners Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras.
Obviously, GMA didn’t see Cristine’s potential as she was just languishing with them for several years. So she had herself managed by Viva and moved to ABS-CBN where she did one soap after another. Now, after “Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin”, she was quickly added to the cast of the new soap, “Honesto.”
On the big screen, right after “When the Love Is Gone,” she’ll be seen next in “Girl Boy Bakla Tomboy.” And she’s busy doing two more new movies, “My Trophy Wife” with Derek Ramsay, and “The Gifted” with Anne Curtis, another talent who also started with GMA7 but is now a bigger star on ABS-CBN.
Director Gil Portes also wants Cristine to star in the “Miss X” sequel he’s planning to do in Amsterdam next year.
The first one starred Vilma Santos as a Pinay prostie in Amsterdam’s red lightdistrict. The sequel will be about the daughter of Ate Vi who ends up like her mom.
Cristine is really sexy and we agree with those who say she’s one of the best actresses in today’s batch of young actresses. We just saw her in “When the Love is Gone” and she really sizzles as Jake Cuenca’s wife who has a torrid affair with Gabby Concepcion who’s married to Alice Dixson.
She appears naked, covered only with soapsuds, in her bathtub scene. She does some truly wild love scenes with Gabby, but she also shines evenin her heated confrontation scenes with all her co-stars: Jake, Gabby, Alice and Andi Eigenmann.
Given a truly serious material and a good director who’ll mine her talent well, we have no doubt she could win acting awards in the future
