Coco Martin is all set to return to primetime, effectively dispelling rumors that his longtime partner, Julia Montes, is pregnant — allegedly the reason taping for Sigabo came to a halt.

In a recent episode of TV Patrol, Martin and Montes were interviewed as the news program aired clips from the action-packed series, which will soon premiere on primetime television.

“Sobra kaming excited, ninenerbiyos. Alam namin na ’yong nerbiyos na ’yon ay para pagandahin lalo ’yong show na maibibigay natin sa lahat ng ating mga Kapamilya sa kanilang mga tahanan gabi-gabi (We are so excited and nervous. We know that nervousness will help make the show even better for all our Kapamilya viewers watching in their homes every night),” Martin said in the interview.

Leaving no stone unturned, Martin confidently added that the series would be worth the wait.

“First day pa lang sisiguraduhin na namin na kaabang-abang at talagang sisiguraduhin namin na sulit ang matagal n’yong paghihintay kaya magkita-kita po tayo (From day one, we will make sure the show is exciting and worth the long wait, so we hope to see everyone watching),” he said.

It was announced in March that Sigabo would replace FPJ’s Batang Quiapo on primetime, but the plan did not push through after production issues arose due to the simultaneous taping of the shows.

As a result, the series Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino’s The Alibi temporarily filled the 8 p.m. timeslot. It was later replaced by Blood vs Duty, starring Richard Gutierrez and Gerald Anderson.

Martin and Montes were first paired in the romantic series Walang Hanggan in 2012, followed by the film A Moment in Time in 2013 and the Kapamilya primetime series Ikaw Lamang in 2014. Montes also made a brief appearance in Ang Probinsyano, where her character appeared in the show’s finale episode.
