A producer of ABS-CBN’s new drama-thriller “ Lavender Fields ” shared a behind-the-scenes moment with “Diamond Star” Maricel Soriano who arrived at the set more than an hour early. Dreamscape Entertainment executive producer Hazel Parfan posted an encounter with the veteran actress, who she said arrived on their set at 9:30 a.m.
despite having a 10:45 a.m. call time.
She also said Maricel was already made up at that time. “No aircon tent in our [first] location,” Hazel said in a Facebook post on Monday, September 9. In production shoots, actors and the crew have tents that can protect them from elements of the weather as they work on site.
Hazel then shared the actress’ response to the situation. “‘No problem..
. okay lang ako dito sa tabi with electric fan,'” Maricel reportedly said. “Our Diamond Star,” the producer said in her post with emojis of sparkles and a diamond.
“Meet ASTER FIELDS,” Hazel added, referring to Maricel’s character in the series. Aster Fields is described as an affluent woman who will look after Jasmine Flores — the titular character played by Jodi Sta. Maria — and help her in her vengeful pursuits.
Hazel’s post included a photo of Maricel on her mobile phone. The producer’s post reached a social media account giving Kapamilya-related updates. “Sana tularan ng mga bagets,” KPex said, sharing a screengrab of Hazel’s post.
