“All good things must come to an end... I will forever treasure this family, and I will never forget this blessing that God has given me.” Those were the heartfelt, sincere words from Jillian Ward during the recent press conference for the season finale of her afternoon medical family drama series, “Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap,” which had its premiere two years ago. The young Kapuso actress was referring to the successful run the show has achieved, the generous creatives she has worked with, and the genius doctor Analyn Santos character she has portrayed well.

“Abot-Kamay Na Pangarap” will take a curtain call tomorrow, Oct. 19, at 2:30 p.m.

“At first, when I got a call informing me about the role, I was not that excited yet. I told myself, 'It’s (about a) young doctor. Sino ang manonood (Who will watch it)?,'” recalled she.

But that changed when they started taping, and the character grew on her, if one may put it. And then, realizing the extraordinariness of the role came in.
