During the thanksgiving party of the <i>teleserye</i> for a successful pilot week, she shared how her journey as the<i> teleserye’s kontrabida</i> started. “<i>Nag-</i>hesitate <i>ako nong una. Tinawagan ko si direk</i> Ted (Boborol), <i>sabi ko, ‘Direk kaya ko ba?’ Yun ‘yung malaking</i> question<i> sa akin. Sabi ko, ‘Direk maganda ‘yung</i> role <i>pero hindi ko alam kung kaya ko, kung mabibigyan ko ng</i> justice <i>‘yung</i> role,’” she relayed.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kaye admitted that it was difficult at first to manage her role because of her look, which to her is not for kontrabida roles. “<i>Hindi rin madaling maging kontrabida lalo na kung mukha mo maamo, hindi matapang, kasi idadaan mo talaga siya sa</i> acting. So<i> kumbaga doble ang </i>effort <i>eh. Hindi katulad nong ibang may matatapang na</i> features,<i> isang tingin lang ng ganyan alam mo ng matapang, alam mo ng kontrabida.</i> So <i>ako doble </i>effort. So<i> sabi naman ni direk</i> Ted, <i>‘Kaya mo yan at magtutulungan tayo</i>,’” she admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>So far, Kaye is now able to get the feel of her role through constant internalization exercises. “<i>Ini</i>-internalize<i> ko lang talaga na hindi ako mayaman. An</i>g peg <i>nila dito parang palengkera talaga, ganon magsalita. Di ba sobrang </i>opposite<i> ko? </i>So <i>kailangan pag nasa </i>set <i>ako, kailangan hindi ako ganito, kailangan talak para magtuloy-tuloy na magmukhang </i>normal<i> siya</i> on screen,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Kaye’s effort has paid off as she’s getting good feedback. On what the viewers will look forward to her role, Kaye shared, “<i>Maganda naman ‘yung itatakbo ng</i> character <i>ko, hindi naman siya</i> to begin with evil <i>na eh. Kumbaga may</i> story <i>bakit siya naging ganon</i>. So<i> hindi </i>normal <i>sa kanya ang pagiging </i>evil.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Now that she’s doing more mature roles, Kaye accepts the many challenges that come along with it. “<i>Nakakatuwa na nakakalungkot kasi grabe tatlo na ang lumalabas na anak ko </i>[<i>dito sa</i> teleserye]. <i>Sa Tabing Ilog isa lang tapos nag Angelito ako tapos ngayon tatlo. Pero nakakatuwa kasi nag i-</i>evolve <i>‘yung ginagagawa mo. Hindi lang</i> forever <i>na patweetums, hindi lang</i> forever <i>na inaapi</i>. At least <i>ito kakaiba,</i> challenging, <i>kumbaga nagiging </i>character actress<i> ako,</i>” she remarked.</div>
