"Kuan On One" host Melai Cantiveros-Francisco had Sue Ramirez talk about some of her recent teleserye and film roles, including her controversial character Lexy Lucero in the 2022 ABS-CBN Studios series “The Broken Marriage Vow,” the Philippine adaptation of the hit British series “Doctor Foster.” She topbilled it along with Jodi Sta. Maria and Zanjoe Marudo, who played the role of the couple whose marriage she ruined.
Since she didn’t have any experiences with being a third party in a relationship, Sue recalled that part of her preparation for the role was watching movies with themes of adultery, which has been a prevalent concept in the local entertainment scene. Growing up, Sue was able to gain some insights on how she would carry out her role through the Kapamilya teleseryes that she and her mom had watched.
“Noong pino-portray ko si Lexy, I really felt that Lexy was a victim. And I really felt bad when the people watching our show couldn’t see that Lexy was also a victim of David. Parang these are two women being played by one man,” she remarked when asked by Kuantie Melai if she believes that third parties are also victims and took her character as an example since she was lied to by the man she genuinely loved.
She then added, “I did not judge my character at all. Talagang I told Lexy na si Sue ‘yong kakampi mo. Parang kinailangang maging magkakampi kaming dalawa habang ginagawa namin ‘yong show."
As Kuantie Melai commended her for being able to do a good job separating herself from Lexy and pulling off a character with whom she entirely cannot relate, Sue conveyed, “‘Yan ang mahirap sa pagiging artista because we have to channel those emotions na maybe in our lives we won’t be able to channel. But that’s the exciting part about being an actress because you get to do things that are out of the norm. You get to do things na hindi mo everyday ginagawa. You get to do things that are uncomfortable for you. So, I take it as a privilege to feel those emotions."
