Michael Flores says Red Sternberg was set to return to PH for 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project
In Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Michael Flores, Bobby Andrews, and Angelu de Leon honored and remembered the late actor.
'Plano niyang bumalik dito. Plano nga niyang mag-artista ulit eh. Gusto nga niyang mag-artista daw ulit eh,' Michael said.
According to Michael, Red even sought advice from him and Bobby on who to approach regarding management for his return to acting.
''Pag naging OK baka mag-stay muna sila dito for a while kung OK 'yung magiging outcome. And then, 'yun nga, mag-ce-celebrate pa kami ng 30 years namin. Anniversary ng 'T.G.I.S.' So talagang sobrang excited siya to the point na nag-workout siya, nag-diet siya,' Michael said.
He also revealed that a 'T.G.I.S.' reunion project had already been planned.
'Kaya masakit nga eh. Kasi nga 'yung pag-uwi niya rito, meron talaga kaming pinaplanong reunion project. Hindi pa namin puwedeng sabihin in details pero meron na talaga. Kasi matagal na 'yan eh,' Michael said, acknowledging their fans' constant requests.
Bobby added, 'Ayos na lahat ng logistics, lahat ng ano, everything. And that was the reason why he was so excited to come home.'
When asked what they realized following Red's passing, Angelu said that 'time is fleeting. And you really don't know what will happen tomorrow.'
For Bobby, Red's passing is a 'wake up call,' noting that they're not that young anymore, so they must value the time they have left.
Michael remembered that life is indeed not short and nothing is permanent.
'Sabi nga nila, 'di ba, hiram lang naman 'tong buhay natin eh,' he said.
Red passed away on May 27 at 50 years old, three days before his birthday on May 30.
His wife, Sandy Sternberg, said that he died due to a heart attack, according to "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" on Friday.
The 'T.G.I.S.' barkada mourned Red's passing with social media posts and messages.
"T.G.I.S." was a popular youth-oriented afternoon weekly show that ran on GMA Network. It premiered on August 12, 1995 and had more than 200 episodes, plus a spin-off film "T.G.I.S.: The Movie" that premiered in 1997. The show is set to mark its 30th anniversary this year.

AZ Martinez wishes ex-BF Larkin Castor the best: 'I want to focus more on myself, career'
AZ Martinez revealed in "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Wednesday that she has not been in contact with her ex-boyfriend, Larkin Castor, ever since she got out of Bahay ni Kuya. "Hindi na po kami nag-usap and right now focus talaga on what's ahead of me, but I wish him all the best talaga," she said. Tito Boy then brought up the letter that Larkin wrote for AZ while she was a housemate in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," adding that he was hoping she and Larkin would have the chance to talk after the show. AZ, for her part, admitted that she is not ready to speak to him. "Honestly, Tito Boy as of now, I'm not ready yet to talk, I wanna focus muna on... Like I'm not ready to talk to him, but I want to focus more on myself and career," she said. In Larkin's letter, he told AZ how proud he was of her and that he was watching her journey in "PBB." He also told her that he has not given up waiting for her, that she should be happy, and that he loves her. Days later, AZ wrote him a letter in response, telling him that she is finally letting him go. "Kung gusto niya pa rin maghintay Kuya, that's his choice na. Pero ayoko na po siya kontrolin, ayoko na siya pilitin, ayoko na siya habulin or guluhin pa Kuya. Kasi alam ko mas masasaktan, mas masisira lang siya if I leave him hanging," AZ had told Kuya in the confession room. AZ and her Kapamilya duo River Joseph ended their "PBB" journey as the fourth big placers. Following her stint in the show, AZ made her return to music school. She is also set to appear in "Bubble Gang" soon. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Does AZ Martinez think Ralph De Leon sent her romantic signals? Actress answers
Does AZ Martinez think Ralph De Leon sent her romantic signals? AZ appeared on Wednesday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda' alongside her PBB duo, River Joseph, and she was asked about the varying interpretations of Ralph's behavior towards her, with some saying that he was romantic towards AZ. 'For me po, wala po talaga akong nakitang signal. I didn't get any mixed signals at all talaga kasi ever since after 'yung boys' night out, 'yung sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya, he cleared up everything to me,' AZ said. (For me, I'm not seeing any signals, I didn't get any mixed signals at all because ever since the Boys' Night Out inside the PBB house, he cleared up everything to me.) She appreciated Ralph's directness and how honest and straightforward he was with her about how he really feels. 'After the BNO, kinausap niya ako na he just wants me to know na may mga nasabi siya sa loob, 'yung confessions, gano'n niya. Pero he doesn't want me to think that there's more meaning to it,' AZ said. (After BNO, he talked to me. He just wants me to know about something while inside the house, in the confessions. But he doesn't want me to think that there's more meaning to it.) Per AZ, she was OK with the clarification. When asked if she was heartbroken over Ralph, AZ said no and explained the broken heart gesture she did was merely a joke. When asked if she liked Ralph, AZ said, 'I'm not sure if tatawagin kong like. Pero there were moments na kinilig din ako sa kanya. Kinilig. And I admire him for how he is.' (I'm not sure if it constitutes a like. But there were moments when I was kilig with him. I admire him for how he is.) AZ and Ralph are being shipped by the AzRalph fans because of their chemistry and frequent moments inside the PBB house. They started out as the RAZ duo, and their closeness eventually led to them getting teased often. Both of them later denied having feelings for each other, but how they acted towards each other when they got drunk made fans wish that the ship would sail. Following their exit from PBB, the two captured their first-ever selfie together outside the house, sparking kilig vibes among fans anew. They also made fans kilig with their first TikTok entry together, hopping on the "Lasik" trend song. In a previous interview, Ralph said he and AZ are 'very good friends' for now. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
