Ericka (Kim Rodriguez) is back to put Happylou’s life in danger again. While on board a vehicle, a big accident involving her, Happylou, and Patrick (Derrick Monasterio) takes place forcing the car to plunge into the river. A life will be sacrificed. Meanwhile, Amanda (Gladys Reyes) flees from the mansion after successfully retrieving the money she kept for herself. And until the very end, she will stop at nothing to ruin Happylou’s family. Church bells are ringing and it seems there will a double wedding. But will Happylou and Patrick have a happy ending when Amanda continues to come between them? Barbie admits she feels sad that IWALY has reached its finale. “But you know what they say, even good things must come to an end,” she shares, adding that she will definitely miss the new family she made in doing this project, most specially “Derrick, Juancho, Kim, Ms. Manilyn, Ms. Nova, Direk Ricky and Ms. Gladys.” Asked about her take-aways from doing the series, Barbie says she further learned “How to be a smart actor. Don't just do the scene, work it.” Viewers and netizens praised the way IWALY put Cebu on spotlight—showcasing the unique beauty and rich culture of the province. The cast went to Cebu not just once but several times during the entire making of the series to capture Cebu’s local flavor, the beautiful sceneries, the dialect, and the sights and sounds of the province.

IWALY has won the hearts of viewers all over the Philippines, enough that it was extended for another season last August. IWALY also stars veteran actors Ricky Davao, Nova Villa, and Tina Paner; as well as Juancho Trivino, Charisse and Charlotte Hermoso, ‘Kimpoy Feliciano, Buboy Villar, Mzhayt and Price Tagg, and Super Tekla. "Inday Will Always Love You" airs after "Onanay" on GMA Telebabad.
