Cindy Kurleto, Ella Gueverra appear in ‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' flashback scene
The two are best known for playing the roles of Cassiopeia and Cassandra in the 2005 version of 'Encantadia' and on Monday's episode, the two appeared in a flashback scene from 2005, where Amihan (Kylie Padilla) narrated the fate of Lireo after Alena (Gabbi Garcia) stepped down as queen to rule Sapiro with Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid).
The flashback scene showed Cassiopeia welcoming the arrival of infant Cassandra and highlighted moments from Cassandra's childhood. According to the narration, Cassandra eventually became the queen of Lireo after Alena's departure.
On X (formerly Twitter), netizens voiced on their confusion about Cindy's and Ella's appearance and the entire Encantadia lore, especially. because Cassandra and Cassiopeia are now portrayed by Michelle Dee and Solenn Heussaff.
But series writer Suzette Doctolero responded to a fan comment, saying the scene actually carries a hidden message. "That's an easter egg," she said.
Aside from the flashback scene, Monday's episode also revealed the cause of Ybrahim's death: A broken heart over Amihan's death.
"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube.

Emre warns Amihan, Ybrahim about escaping Devas
Amihan (Kylie Padilla) and Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) dared to defy Emre in a desperate attempt to return to Encantadia and help fight the darkness brought by Mitena (Rhian Ramos). On Tuesday's episode, the couple was shown embracing Lira (Mikee Quintos) and Mira (Kate Valdez) upon their arrival in Devas. Amihan tearfully apologized for not being able to protect them, highlighting the growing feeling of helplessness among the former leaders. Despite their sorrow, Amihan and Ybrahim pressed on and asked Emre to allow them to return to Encantadia to face Mitena. But Emre stood firm and said, "Hindi lahat ng sugat ay dapat agad lapatan ng lunas." Frustrated, Amihan made her intentions clear. "Kung hindi n'yo kami papayagan, mahal na Emre, kusa na lamang kaming aalis. Hindi n'yo kami maaaring pigilan sa pagtulong namin sa aming nasasakupan," she said. But just as they prepared to leave, an earthquake struck Devas. From the cracks emerged terrifying smoke-like beasts, ruthless creatures under Emre's command. "Kung lilisanin ninyo ang Devas nang hindi ko pinahihintulutan, hahabulin kayo at dadakpin ng mga halimaw na 'yan at doon sa Balaak (hell) nila kayo dadalhin," Emre warned. Gaiea (Cassy Lavarias), unseen, witnessed the confrontation and Emre's chilling threat. Later, Lira urged her parents not to defy Emre, fearing they'd be separated again. But Amihan, now more determined than ever, likened Devas to a prison and vowed to reclaim her bugna (destiny) just to save Encantadia even if it meant breaking divine law. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News
