With John Lloyd Cruz\u2019s indefinite leave from the showbiz industry, his character\u2019s other half in the sitcom \u201cHome Sweetie Home\u201d finds resolve in living life without her \u2018sweetie.\u2019<\/p>\n

Toni Gonzaga\u2019s character Julie Matahimik-Valentino has decided to drop her adopted last name from her marriage with John Lloyd\u2019s character, Romeo Valentino in the latest episode. Just in time for mother’s day, Julie embraces the thought of being a single mom.<\/p>\n

The ongoing three-year-old weekly sitcom in the Kapamilya network has been continuing its airing of new episodes despite the actor\u2019s absence ever since October last year. The romantic-comedy starring John Lloyd and Toni is supposed to be about their struggles as a married couple in the shoes of Romeo and Julie, served with a slice of comedy \u2013 but somehow for months, it has survived with writers filling up the holes.<\/p>\n

One of Toni\u2019s leading men, Piolo Pascual has joined the cast as a recurring character JP, Romeo’s cousin. He was then a guest star in an episode when he was promoting his movie with Toni, “Starting Over Again.”<\/p>\n

Writers have come up with giving Romeo a work opportunity abroad to cover for the actor\u2019s indefinite leave. After several episodes, production has leaned on to the implication of Romeo cheating on Julie, which prompted her to decide on a separation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOo pinag-isipan ko na \u2018di naman pwedeng patawad ako nang patawad, pa\u2019no naman ako<\/em> (Yes, I thought about it and came up that I should not just forgive and forgive, how about my feelings)?\u201d Julie said while talking to JP.<\/p>\n

The episode proceeded with showing Julie\u2019s fears but firmness in her decision, letting the episode end with the narration, \u201cMasaya pa rin ang buhay kahit mag-isa kasi dito sa aming<\/em> home sweetie home, napapaligiran ako ng mga taong nagpapasaya sa akin araw-araw <\/em>(Life is still happy even if I am alone in our home sweetie home, I am surrounded by people who make me happy every day).\u201d<\/p>\n

Julie was also portrayed to write \u201cI’m alone but not lonely, kaya<\/em> so long ex,\u201d referring to Romeo.<\/p>\n

Earlier in March, Toni told reporters that the show is \u201copen\u201d and that anything can happen, saying that John Lloyd is not really out of the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever Romeo has contributed to the show, will always remain in the show,\u201d Toni said.<\/p>\n

John Lloyd\u2019s indefinite leave came after rumors sparked that his girlfriend Ellen Adarna is pregnant and that he is preparing to build a family with her. Ellen also played the role of Tanya in Home Sweetie Home, Romeo\u2019s workmate who was the subject of Julie\u2019s constant jealousy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
