Viewers of "Can't Buy Me Love" were stunned when Kaila Estrada’s character, Bettina, was unmasked as the series' unexpected killer in the popular series, a revelation that she was unaware of until the final days of taping.
Throughout the series, viewers kept guessing the elusive killer's identity, and Kaila delivered a performance that did not disappoint. Reflecting on her character, Kaila expressed gratitude for the plot twist and impactful ending of the series.
"Nagulat din ako. It was an intriguing experience as we were kept in the dark about the plot until a few days before we shot the ending. I had no idea that Bettina was the killer," she revealed, adding a layer of suspense to the series' narrative.
Kaila also revealed the innovative approach taken by the production team, which kept the killer's identity from the cast until the eleventh hour.
"We did not have a copy of the final script for the finale week. Ganun siya ka-secret. We would show up sa taping and ibibigay yung sequences that day at doon na rin namin babasahin. It was a completely different way of working, and I felt it added to the suspense. Naging sobrang raw din ng emotions ng lahat at high stress. I think it worked well," she shared.
Playing the role of the middle child in the series struck a personal chord with Kaila, who formed a deep connection with Bettina.
"I guess with her last monologue, I can relate to some of her lines, being a middle child myself. Sobrang natuwa rin ako, when I received tweets that they could relate to Bettina and what she was going through, some people said that hearing that or watching that scene healed their inner child. It feels so good, and it is something that I'm proud of, and I'm so happy to be given that opportunity to do that, " she said.
As the buzz around the big revelation continues, viewers can look forward to exploring the other potential killers and enjoying the wedding video of Caroline (Belle Mariano) and Bingo (Donny Pangilinan). This exciting content will be available on Tuesday (May 14), 7 PM (MNL time), on ABS-CBN's Entertainment YouTube channel.
