What now? for the Ultimate Survivor


After Starstruck 1 Ultimate Survivor Jennylyn Mercado confirmed her pregnancy, many fans are wondering what will happened to her career? Since it was stipulated in her exclusive contract with GMA Network that she is not allowed to get pregnant, the network immediately removed the actress and her boyfriend Patrick Garcia in the their supposedly afternoon teleserye "Maging Akin ka Lamang". The two were replaced by Nadine Samonte and Polo Ravales as the lead roles. The said teleserye had to reshoot some scenes because Patrick and Jen had already taped few episodes. Meanwhile, Jennylyn Mercado is also "no show" In the suspense drama series "La Vendetta". I noticed the change in the shows story lines, when Jen's character Almira no longer haunts the other characters about her tragic death.

I feel really disappointed for Jennylyn, at the peak of her career she got pregnant. During the time she was involved in the GMA-Angel Locsin conflict, she and manager Becky Aguila begged to GMA not to get her involved in the issue, so GMA was generous enough and gave her line of projects and guestings, and now that she hed all of those she need to get a hiatus for her pregnancy tsk tsk tsk!

Meanwhile, I have read from some news articles that Jennylyn's career will still push through inspite of her pregnancy, she is still finishing her latest album under GMA Records, and she will still promote her movie "Manila West Side Story" opposite international action star Jacky woo, and I've heard that her boyfriend Patrick Garcia is included in the cast of GMA's new primetime drama "Babangon Ako at Dudurugin Kita". Fans would have to watch for that.
