Nadine Samonte makes acting comeback in new series 'Forever Young' with Euwenn Mikaell

September 11 ------ Nadine Samonte is set to make her big acting comeback with the upcoming series "Forever Young." According to Lhar Santiago's, the Sparkle star will be starring in the new series with "Firefly" child star Euwenn Mikaell. 

Nadine and Euwenn will play mother and son in the afternoon show, which will take viewers on an emotional ride. "Sobrang natuwa ako sa GMA kasi nabigyan ako ng chance na mailabas ko 'yung acting ko," Nadine said. "Masasabi ko dito talagang binigay ko 'yung best ko talaga kasi parang, sabi ko, 'This is my comeback.'" 

The homegrown Kapuso talent also enjoined fans to support "Forever Young" because it's a series with a heartwarming tale. "They really need to watch, it's nakakatouch. Iba talaga 'yung bonding namin and connection namin ni Euwenn, malalim," she said. She also praised the award-winning child actor, who she said can be quite proactive on set. "Si Euwenn ang direktor namin dito. Minsan siya ang director, siya yung lapel, lahat siya na," she said, laughing. "Alam mo 'yun lahat pabiro pero iba talaga yung isip ni Euwenn, hindi siya isip bata eh, sobrang mature niya mag-isip." 

While Nadine makes her comeback with "Forever Young," the project, on the other hand, will be Euwenn's first TV series. "Forever Young" follows the story of Rambo (Euwenn), a 25-year-old trapped in the body of a 10-year-old due to panhypopituitarism, a rare medical condition. Other cast members include Michael de Mesa, Eula Valdez, Alfred Vargas, Chanda Romero, Althea Ablan, Yasser Marta, Matt Lozano, Bryce Eusebio, and James Blanco. "Forever Young" will premiere on GMA Afternoon Prime in October.
