Dimples Romana ready for new series

After seven months of absence in the acting scene, Dimples Romana makes a comeback with Dreamscape Entertainment at ABS-CBN Studios’ production of High Street, an original series that is a follow-up of the highly successful mystery teen suspense Senior High, which was shown last year on different platforms.

"I was to do something else, but as we know, the Lord works in mysterious ways so this one I’m sure ma-e-excite kayo (will excite you)!” Dimples said

Aside from Dimples, new characters such as Romnick Sarmenta, Harvey Bautista, AC Bonifacio, and Ralph de Leon join the cast of this intriguing story.

High Street opens with the reunion of Northford High students as they catch up on their respective careers — Sky is an up-and-coming journalist, Gino (Juan Karlos) is thriving in law school, Tim and Poch (Zaijian Jaranilla and Miggy Jimenez) are going strong, while Roxy (Xyriel Manabat) balances her nurse duties while being a single mom. 

Mother to Callie, Alonzo and Elio, Dimples considers many factors before accepting an acting assignment.

“Lagi ako naninimbang kasi (I always try to balance things because) at the end of the day, pamilyado akong tao (I have my family to consider). Meron akong ipinapalit sa oras na yun at very precious sa akin ang time ko (I should be able to exchange time for them; I consider precious time) with my family. So, to choose outside of that, siyempre wala naman talagang papantay sa oras ng pamilya pero (of course nothing can equal the time spent with family, but) it has to be of value to other people as well,” she added.

Being a real-life mom also plays a big part in Dimples’ preparation for this project. 

“May Gen Z ako na anak (I have a Gen Z kid) so when I think of ‘High Street’ I think of Callie — what will she appreciate? What kind of work na matutuwa ang anak ko na ginawa ko itong trabahong ito (would my daughter appreciate that I did)? Yung preparation is una, mawawala ako sa bahay namin kasi nag ‘Good Morning Kapatid’ pa rin ako (The preparation is first, I would have to leave the house first to do Good Morning Kapatid) and, thankfully, with my Dreamscape family, they understand my schedule,” she added.

High Street is directed by Onat Diaz and Lino Cayetano. It also stars Tommy Alejandrin o, Gela Atayde, Mon Confiado, Kean Cipriano, Ana Abad Santos, Gerald Madrid, Inka Magnaye, Angeli Bayani, and Rans Rifol.
