Pulling out Main Star (MS) from a high profile project seemed like a questionable strategy for a network. While MS was once again enjoying accolades from fans in the said project, her followers were shocked when the announcement was made that she had to be removed. Simultaneously, the announcement for her New Project (NP) was announced, which assured her fans that she would still be around.

Nonetheless, the strategy elicited reactions that doubted the decision. After all, the role of MS was already involved in the twists and turns, but being a professional, MS saw beyond the risk being taken for NP. The months that passed proved that the network was correct in pulling out MS. Followers were hooked on the plot and some were convinced that Antagonist Actress (AA) was really a bad person in real life. MS and AA had chemistry on screen, which was a hit for fans, especially to those who related to the story.

The success of NP, however, took its toll on MS. Knowing that she regained her status in the network, MS started showing her inner diva. Instead of arriving on time, MS would allegedly come a few hours after, which drastically affected the taping of sequences. Then, MS would spend more than an hour putting on makeup, which again would cause delays. The Production Head (PH) has been trying to control emotions on the set. PH had become irritated with MS coming late and even using her mobile during blocking.

As MS continued to make everyone feel she’s important, she and AA have stopped talking with no apparent reason. Speculations say that MS might have become jealous given that AA is enjoying as much fame as she does. AA, of course, is just happy that she finally has a top-rating project where she has a very important role. Off cam, the two have different dynamics compared to their roles. MS makes sure AA knows that she is more senior. The relationship turned colder when Close Colleague (CC) joined the cast. There was a time when MS and CC were the closest of friends off cam, but on cam, they complemented each other’s opposite characters in their projects. During tapings, MS felt that AA and CC were becoming closer to each other, and this situation has gotten on her nerves.

Still, MS has imposed certain conditions that limited what the production staff can do in the story. MS refuses to do any intimate scenes with her Leading Man (LM). Their reel relationship calls for intimacy, but MS has put her foot down and even if LM were the hottest actor around, she has refused any possible scenes that would require them to be very close physically.

With NP having a bright and long future, PH and the rest of the team would have to endure the attitude of MS. However, if MS will not shape up and her attitude escalates, tension will definitely rise in the set, which might affect the project. For someone who is familiar with the industry, MS has opted for pride instead of humility.
