Forteza spoke about the project during a roundtable discussion on the YouTube channel of "Ang Walang Kwentang Podcast."
She joined fellow actresses Cherry Pie Picache and Jodi Sta. Maria in the conversation when filmmaker JP Habac asked if they had ever worked on projects that did not necessarily benefit them but still taught valuable lessons.

The actress went on to jokingly describe the unusual concept of the show, where her character shares a body with another character.
“Basta may mukha po ako sa likod,” Forteza said.
The actress acknowledged that while the series had its limitations, it still helped her financially during that time.
“Yun nga po, it paid the bills,” she added.
Forteza also recalled filming a physically challenging scene with her co-star Mika dela Cruz.
The scene involved the characters arguing while standing on a footbridge, which required her to portray movements that suggested two personalities sharing one body.
“So may eksena po kami na nasa footbridge kami, nag-aaway kami eh iisa lang ang katawan,” Forteza said.
Despite some regrets about the project, Forteza emphasized that she remained fully committed to performing the role.
“But again, it paid the bills,” she explained.
Reflecting on what the experience taught her, Forteza said the role helped her understand the importance of fully embodying a character, even when the concept might seem humorous to viewers.
“Ang natutunan ko po d’un, ‘yung physicality, kailangang mong i-internalize na dalawa ‘yung utak niyo,” she said.
The series follows the story of conjoined twins Kara and Mia, who share one body due to a congenital condition and navigate life together while trying to appear normal to the outside world.
Barbie Forteza has established herself as one of the most recognizable actresses on Philippine television, earning the title “Kapuso Primetime Princess.” She first caught viewers’ attention when she portrayed the young version of Jodi Sta. Maria’s character in the series Stairway to Heaven, a role that opened the door to bigger opportunities in show business. Over time, Barbie developed into an award-winning performer, receiving both local and international recognition, including a Best Actress honor at the Fantasporto Film Festival. Through projects such as Maria Clara at Ibarra and Pulang Araw, she has demonstrated impressive range as an actress, solidifying her reputation as a versatile leading lady who can captivate audiences in various genres.
In another interview, Barbie also shared her thoughts about modern dating and the growing phenomenon of “situationships.” She explained that these kinds of relationships often stem from emotional uncertainty and unclear intentions. According to the actress, misunderstandings can easily arise when people interpret mixed signals differently. Barbie admitted she once found herself in a similar situation, revealing that she had feelings for someone who was not completely certain about pursuing a relationship with her. “Hindi maiiwasan pero maititigil,” Barbie said. She emphasized that honest communication and clear intentions can help prevent confusion in romantic connections. Her openness about the topic resonated with many fans who face similar struggles in today’s dating culture, allowing them to see a more candid and relatable side of the actress beyond her on-screen roles.
Meanwhile, veteran actress Charo Santos-Concio recently amused fans after posting a playful “Halukay Ube” dance video featuring Barbie and Boots Anson-Roa. The three actresses enthusiastically joined the viral trend, performing the lively dance with confidence and humor. Charo’s witty caption hinted at a friendly dance showdown while subtly promoting their upcoming film project. The clip quickly gained positive reactions online, with netizens praising their chemistry and expressing excitement to see them share the screen together.
