With Kathryn Bernardo playing iconic roles in the past, it’s only bound that one of them makes a comeback.
The long-running career of Kathryn Bernardo has allowed her to step into the shoes of numerous characters and personas in film and television. As she is currently in her “no looking back” back era, we can’t help but wish that she would give the past a second chance—but only her on-screen roles, of course!

From her childhood to her adult years, the actress starred in series and movies that, in one way or another, left a mark in the history of show business. And in her first magazine feature after her solo era comeback, the April 2024 cover star revealed that she is currently working on the sequel of a previous project.
With this revelation, MEGA gives you a few guesses on the roles that got Kathryn’s “next chapter” approval instead of a “chapter closed”:
A Magkaribal Spin-Off
Before her portrayal in the 2010 remake of Mara Clara, Kathryn reeled the audience in with a bolder side of hers in the fashion-centric drama series, Magkaribal. Starring as the young Victoria, played by Gretchen Barretto, the younger actress did a moving scene out of her character’s desperation. If there was an official transition from her child star days to her teen queen glory, this would be it.
Grown up with Growing Up
The younger versions of the blockbuster actress such as Maya from Super Inggo and herself from Goin Bulilit will remain in our hearts forever. But seeing Kathryn grow up and bloom into a fine, young lady in front of the camera? It truly is a memorable journey for both the actress and her audience.
Part of her teenage roles was Ella from Growing Up, at the time when she was still a teen herself. Going past these roles and venturing into more mature roles, wouldn’t it be nice to collide her two worlds as she plays an older Ella? This time around, she is the teacher guiding the younger stars on and off camera. While she is the bunso of the family, she can surely be a good older sister to the next generation of stars if ever she reprises her role as Ella in this project.
Hello, Love, Goodbye…Again?
When the main cast of Hello, Love, Goodbye graced Kathryn’s private Palawan beach birthday bash, fans of the film and the supporters of Kathryn and Alden rejoiced for their low maintenance friendship. It has been five years since the film’s premiere in 2024, and we’re all glad to know that their Hong Kong squad have maintained their good relationship with each other.
We don’t want to read that much into their reunion, but if this is their way of subtly telling us that they’re jumping back into where they left off, we’ll be gladly watching the next installment of Hello, Love, Goodbye! Will Ethan find Joy in Canada, or will they meet by chance in another country? If the sequel is indeed happening, we can’t wait to say hello again to the crossover reunion of Ignacia’s and Kamuning’s biggest stars.
