di bagay kay marian ang mga role na ginampanan ni angel locsin.bagay sa kanya yun nanay ang character nya sa super twins.di bagay ang mga fantaserye sa kanya.lalo na yun asian treasure..ang darna bagay kay anne curtis at angel locsin.bakit di na lang si rhian ramos ang gumanap na darna.sayang sa marimar si valerie nababagay din don.bakit kasi gma di pagbigyan ang iba nya stars.hindi yun sa isa lang nakatuon..pwede naman lahat pasikatin nyo.like rhian ramos give her a chance..si marian sa pasigaw sigaw lang ang alam.dinadaan lang nya sa pasigaw sigaw ang acting nya e.
