An Unanticipated Jolt

Trying to come up with a way to boost interest and ratings of her show, Gloating Celebrity (GC) approached a Production Head (PH) and proposed her idea. GC said that they should have a gimmick where they will invite Famous Actress (FA) to their program. PH listened attentively and GC continued. According to her, the show needs to make noise for its big episode and one way of creating a bit of intrigue is to float that FA has been invited to show that there was no bad blood between them.

Unknowingly, PH bought the idea and invited FA to the show. When FA found out about her being asked to guest on the said show, she agreed without a fuss and without even making any noise about her acceptance. FA knew that her appearance would be fun, as she needs a change of genre to hone her acting. The guesting was settled and everyone was happy that FA made time.

Plans were set, schedules were fixed, and scripts were prepared. The other stars of the show were excited to be with FA, as they had worked with her in various capacities and in other shows and movies. Besides, FA had hardly appeared on television and viewers will definitely be curious to see her once again. As everyone was gearing up for the episode, someone was shocked at finding out that FA positive responded. Guess who?

None other than GC was surprised at the reaction of FA. All the while, she thought FA would refuse and that denial would make great copy for showbiz columns. Headlines could read that FA turned down the invitation because she was afraid to be with GC. Worse, FA could be portrayed as insecure, which could be a reason for not guesting. However, these scenarios did not happen at all, because GC was wrong.

A real trooper, FA did not back out at the chance to make GC uncomfortable. Although no one knows what FA was thinking when she accepted the offer, one thing that was clear is that there was a possibility that she might work in a scene with GC. FA exchanging lines with GC would be a hit with the audience, but tensions might be too high. Allegedly fearing that FA might overshadow her in case they would have a scene together, GC told PH not to place them together in any scene. While she claims everything is fine between them, awkwardness might prevail and GC would never escape reactions in social media that would have compared her acting with that of FA. Thus, her gimmick backfired.
