As the first book of “Martha Cecilia’s Kristine” comes to an end, a new dawn is set to unfold in Paso De Blas.

In the past week, we have witnessed Jewel come out of her shell and begin to move on her life after a heart break. This week, Lance (Rayver Cruz) will play a big role in an explosive revelation that would change the flow of the story altogether.

Jewel of Romance Cristine said viewers of “Kristine” should be on their toes as unexpected changes are bound to take place in the much-anticipated book 2 of the hit teleserye. She revealed that three new characters will be introduced in the program that will add more reasons for viewers to stay up every night.

“Sobrang excited na ako sa mga bagong characters na papasok. Abangan din nila yung bagong Jewel na mapapanood nila sa Book 2 kasi ibang-iba siya sa Jewel na napanood nila so far,” Cristine said.

Rayver added that the new “Kristine” will be more gripping and compelling than ever. “Kung astig ang mga book 1, mas astig itong book 2.”

Rayver and Cristine are currently hot topics in gossip shows and publications, especially after the actress admitted they were in a relationship before. Rumor has it that the two have started dating each other again.

Aside from incidents where the two were caught being sweet to each other on set or in public, both have also admitted that they become close again.

“Oo, mas nakakapag-usap na kami ni Rayver ngayon compared dati na nag-uumpisa ang Kristine na hindi kami nag-uusap. Lumabas kami. Off-work bonding lang,” explained Cristine.

Rayver said there is nothing wrong with this as he is friends with the actress. “Lumalabas kami with common friends kaya hindi ko naman ide-deny ‘yun,” he answered.

But even though she is always around Rayver, Cristine admitted that she still finds her original leading man in the program Zanjoe Marudo hotter. But if you ask her, their love triangle in real life pales in comparison to their love story in “Kristine.”

“Something very exciting is about to happen to Jewel, Bernard and Lance,” she said.

Watch out as the first book of the epic TV adaptation of the country’s best-selling pocketbook series nears its end. Be there as the whole country welcomes the new characters who would eventually join Cristine Reyes, Zanjoe Marudo, Rafael Rosell, and Rayver Cruz in bringing life to your nights through “Martha Cecilia’s Kristine,” from Monday to Friday, after “Imortal” on ABS-CBN.
