The actress admitted she was surprised that "High Street," a follow-up to another series "Senior High," was quickly greenlit though she knew a sequel show was always a possibility.

As for rumors on a "Dyesebel" reboot, Andrea said, "Actually wala pa akong masabi about that," but she did say she watched the previous series adaptations of the iconic mermaid.
GMA Network adapted "Dyesebel" into a television show in 2008 with Marian Rivera in the titular role, then six years later, ABS-CBN had their turn this time starring Anne Curtis.
"I'm a big fan kasi alam niyo naman lagi akong nagsi-swimming, nagfe-freedive," Andrea continued. "So if pagbibigyan ako ng chance talaga, I would be so honored."
Andrea clarified some past social media posts of her by the sea were because of her love for swimming, not for any "Dyesebel" project as of now.
