Carla Abellana finds “My Husband’s Lover” her most successful project yet

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> When kapuso actress Carla Abellana began working on the series, “My Husband’s Lover,” she was quite anxious about how the series might be received especially by conservative viewers who might be “allergic” to the controversial topic of homosexuality and homosexual relations.</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> “My Husband’s Lover” is a story that revolves around Lally (Carla’s character) who marries a closet bisexual named Vincent (Tom Rodriguez) who has not gotten over his feelings for his ex-boyfriend Eric (Dennis Trillo).  </div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> <br /></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.333333969116211px;"> After parting ways with Eric when he decided to go abroad, Vincent (a bisexual) fell in love with Lally, an innocent but responsible woman.  Just a few months later, Lally became pregnant – albeit, unplanned – and so Vincent decided to marry her.  Several years later, Eric returns to the country with the hope of rekindling the old flame with Vincent but it was too late – he later learned that Vincent had married.  Eric was devastated.</div> <div style="background-color: white;
