'Martha Cecilia's Kristine', the hottest teleserye to hit Philippine primetime, just had its finale tonight on ABS-CBN.
It was quite a typical finale: the conflicts were resolved, the main villain (Margarita played by Irma Adlawan) died and a happy ending for all the main characters.
The finale didn't end up with a wedding not like the other typical Pinoy soaps. It actually wrapped up with a birthday party of Baby Leonard, son of Jewel (Cristine Reyes) and Bernard (Zanjoe Marudo).
Jewel, who's pregnant of her 2nd child, was narrating what happened to the other characters: Diana (Bangs Garcia) has found a new love (Jose Sarasola), Nathaniel (JM De Guzman) is engaged to marry Jasmine (Kristel Moreno) and Marco (Rafael Rosell) finally ended up with Scarlet (Iya Villania).
'Kristine' viewers generally loved the ending, but for some, it was a big disappointment.
Yeah, I'm one of those disappointed 'coz Emerald (Denise Laurel) was totally scrapped off from the story.
In Book 1, Emerald left for the States to study and promised to come back but as Book 2 ended tonight, there was not a single mention about her.
I hate it how they made "paasa". They didn't even make a confirmation that Denise is not comin' back in the show, did they?
Even Denise's manager, Arnold Vegafria, did not directly say in an interview before that Denise would no longer be part of the show.
Denise, Rafael and the rest of the cast also kept mum about it.
On Twitter, some avid viewers of Kristine have also aired their disappointment with the ending.
Here are some of them:
@maro_garcia: "Kinwento yung buhay ng lahat except Emerald. Dream na lang ba siya? Sana man lang they gave her a happy life in the States."
@supahloveyou: "#Kristine Kaya nga ending para mabigyang closure ang lahat, bat binalewala nyo si Emerald. Para saan pa't may creative kayo, dami loopholes!"
@mhimhi0422: "si Emerald lang doon ang pure na Fortalejo, puro sila doon sampid, sana binanggit lang kung saan na si Emerald.
hofille: "ang pangit ng ending ng Kristine, kasi wala si Emerald!"
soliloquies23: "Dear #Kristine, You're ending sucks. Even on the last episode, you once again disappointed us. No explanation at all about Emerald? #worstending."
rhodapino22: "#CONDOLENCE sa aming mga umasa at nabigo...ito pala ang kapalit pag masyado ka nagmahal sa mga hinahangaan."
I agree with all of you guys!
