Dreamscape Entertainment had just revealed and confirmed Julia Montes’ comeback project on primetime television via “Saving Grace.”

“Saving Grace” is the Philippine adaptation of the hit Japanese series “Mother,” under Nippon TV. In a three-minute video uploaded on Dreamscape Entertainment’s social media accounts, they revealed that Montes will play the title role.

In an exclusive sit-down interview with Montes, the award-winning actress shared how special this project is for her.

“Special talaga sa akin ‘yung project kasi ‘yun ang huling usap namin ni Sir Deo (Endrinal). ‘Yung plan for ‘Saving Grace’ is really big, ang ganda ng story, ang ganda ng lesson and story na gustong sabihin ng serye,” she said.

Montes’ last TV appearance was in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.” Back in 2020, she also did a limited series entitled “24/7” but was cut short because of the global pandemic lockdown. Montes and other cast members of the supposed action series “Burado” were already in Thailand, ready to shoot, when they had to fly back because of the lockdown.

Now, Montes is all set for her full-length TV comeback. In tears, she shared why this project is close to her heart.

“Special siya sa ‘kin kasi …sinave ako ni Sir Deo. In many ways, personal, career and I felt na ever since isa si Sir Deo na naniwala na kaya ko,” she said.

In times when the actress would doubt herself, the late Deo Endrinal was always there to remind her of what she is capable of.

“Siya ang laging nagpapaalala na kaya ko. So ngayon, siyempre, iba na,” she said.

When the green light was given to “Saving Grace,” Montes admitted that she got nervous and scared. But at the same time, she would always remember what Endrinal told her during their last conversation.

“Natakot ako. Kasi lahat naman po ng binibigay sa ‘kin, napapaisip ako, kaya ko ba? ‘Yun ang lagi kong question. Pero nung nakausap ko nga si Sir Deo, sabi niya, ‘Gawin mo ito, it’s for you’. Na-kampante na ‘ko kasi siya ‘yung… nandiyan naman siya lagi.”

Dreamscape Entertainment has yet to reveal her co-stars in her comeback project with ABS-CBN.
