Talking about his role during a script reading for the show's new cast members, the actor said: "I'm really excited kasi si Elias, darating siya sa buhay ni Mira, pero 'di ko pwedeng sabihin sa inyo kung kaibigan ba siya, kalaban ba siya, mabait ba siya o masama. May pagka-surprise 'yun eh, so excited ako para sa character ko."

At the time, Huwag Kang Mangamba directors Manny Palo and Darnal Villaflor, as well creative producer Danica Domingo, said that Ian was a perfect choice for the role, as they wanted to depict a "mysterious character" who will teach sisters Mira—played by Andrea Brillantes—and Joy—portrayed by Francine Diaz—to fight for their faith in "Bro".
