On GMA-7\u2019s newest teleserye \u201cThe Rich Man\u2019s Daughter,\u201d actresses Rhian Ramos and Glaiza de Castro play the roles of a lesbian couple.<\/p>\n

Rhian and Glaiza vow to fully support each other as they bring their characters to life. Rhian notes that being able to work with each other before, they are now confident and prepared for the teleserye.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s a scene that one of us has trouble with, we\u2019ll talk about it and help each other,\u201d Rhian said in an interview during taping, adding that it has been a challenge for them to be \u2018lipstick lesbians.\u2019<\/p>\n

Rhian also believes some tactics would work and make them appear more natural in their roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked her what her favorite perfume was, so that I can get it and use it and hopefully when I pass by, she\u2019ll go, \u2018that\u2019s pleasant!,\u2019 so she will get attracted to me in some way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna try and use senses. When you already like a certain perfume, gusto mo na \u2019yun eh (you like it already). So I\u2019m gonna try and bring that attention to me,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Rhian also shares that she had her mind set on working with a \u2018leading man.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my mind, I treat her like I would treat any one of my leading men,\u201d she said. \u201cBefore a scene where we get up close and personal, I\u2019m at the side of the set, I spray perfume, I take a mouthwash, everything. I wanna treat her like I would treat any leading man I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite several past leading lady roles and preparations for her first lesbian role, Rhian still feels pressured with her lesbian character.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I feel] a little bit [pressured], because I\u2019ve never had a role like this. I\u2019ve been in love stories before, just not with another girl. I just want to try and read it in the same way,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how I know it\u2019s important to me, when I\u2019m getting nervous about it. I\u2019m asking myself, \u2018Is this my best?\u2019 And that\u2019s all I want, because it\u2019s such a good story,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Rhian would want to really bring her character to life as she wants to voice out the minority in the society.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I feel like it\u2019s not just any teleserye. I also feel like I\u2019m going to be representing the feelings of many other girls that have probably gone through something similar and had to go through a stage of self-discovery. So I want to be as realistic as possible about it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI already know it\u2019s not easy for them because everyone always has something to say. I\u2019m personally not one of those people,\u201d she added. \u201cI think the show is going to shed some light on the struggle, maybe the confusion at first. And then also what other people think about it, because when some people say that\u2014\u2018what you feel is not right\u2019\u2014I\u2019m sure it hurts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rich Man\u2019s Daughter is directed by Dominic Zapata. In here, Rhian plays the role of Jade, a wealthy daughter arranged to marry a man his father has chosen for her. Glaiza, on the other hand, plays the role of Althea, a wedding coordinator who would develop feelings for the bride.<\/p>\n

The teleserye\u2019s pilot episode has been aired last Monday and immediately went trending in micro-blogging site Twitter, gaining warm acceptance and support from the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
