News is rife that ABS-CBN is keen on doing a reboot of Dyesebel, and the management is considering Andrea Brillantes to play the title role.
In an interview, the 21-year-old actress expressed her excitement about the possibility of doing the project, saying “It would be a big honor!”
Andrea revealed that she even auditioned for the role when she was just four years old, during a previous incarnation of the show on another network.
“I’m a huge fan,” Andrea said. “That’s why I always engage in free dives. So, if ever I’ll be given the chance, I will do my best.”
Rumors of Andrea landing the iconic role intensified after she revealed she’s learning to scuba dive, a skill essential for the part.
“Honestly, diving is just something I enjoy,” she explained. “I went with my mom once and loved it ever since. I’m currently working on getting certified as a diver.”

Dingdong Dantes has renewed his contract with GMA-7, where he has been a prominent figure for nearly three decades. Despite the curiosity surrounding whether he has ever considered moving to another network, Dantes remains committed to GMA-7.
The 43-year-old actor also revealed that one huge factor why he always chooses GMA is the fact that his wife Marian Rivera is also a contract artist of the leading network.
“That’s one of the binding reasons. Unlike before when I was younger and I was exploring alone, things changed when I got married. Now, in every decision that I make whether personal or professional, they are always included in the consideration,” he said.
“And I will always be grateful to GMA that I met my wife here. I’m not just here for myself. And GMA being our home network, it makes things more meaningful. I’m simply thankful to GMA for taking very good care of me all these times,” he went on.
Interestingly, in his new contract, will he have the chance to do a grand primetime project with Marian once again?
“Hopefully. We did Rewind and after that, I felt that I missed working with Yan again. Who knows, we’ll be offered a new soap? Let’s just wait and see. If ever, that would be exciting!” ended Dingdong.
