Veteran actresses Sharon Cuneta and Janice De Belen took their acting prowess to the highest level for their much-awaited confrontation scene that earned praise from viewers in “Saving Grace: The Untold Story.”

Viewers commended Sharon and Janice’s effective portrayals in the emotional scene wherein a scorned yet feisty Miranda (Sharon) was at the receiving end of Helena’s (Janice) wrath as they crossed paths for the first time since their involvement in a messy love triangle. 

In an interview, the two stars expressed their delight in working together in a series for the first time. "It was fun working with her. Alam ko na maraming tao ang naka-abang na makita kaming magkasama so it was really good working with her," said Janice. 

"Saludo ako lagi kay Janice. In real life kapag ka-eksena mo siya, 'yung mata talaga niya nangungusap," shared Sharon.

Prior to their confrontation, their intriguing backstory was revealed showing how Helena cunningly plotted to get herself pregnant with her best friend Antonio, who was in a year-long relationship with Miranda at the time. Helena continues to play victim and insists that Miranda was the third-party all along.

Meanwhile, Julia Montes and Jennica Garcia also put on a show, ala “battle of mothers,” with their intense face-off as Sarah (Jennica), Grace’s (Zia Grace) abusive mother, turned violent and pulled the hair off Anna (Julia), Grace’s current mother figure.

In the current story, the search for Grace intensifies as Miranda and Sarah continue to team-up as they find more clues versus Anna, who is now the prime suspect in Grace’s kidnapping. However, Helena, Anna’s adoptive mother, is pulling all the stops to protect her daughter and to cover up the truth behind Anna’s abduction of Grace.
