The intense action, revelations, and plot twists in the finale week of “Black Rider” will surely keep viewers at the edge of their seats.
As the series comes to an end, Calvin (Jon Lucas) continues to show off his evil ways and makes Elias’ (Ruru Madrid) life miserable. He uses President William (Roi Vinzon) to make Vanessa (Yassi Pressman) marry him, taking advantage of the situation that Vanessa is still not aware of the truth and the reality she is in.
Thrilling moments await as Señor Edgardo (Raymond Bagatsing) discovers Moises (Jak Roberto) is his long-lost son. Viewers should also watch for developments in Nanay Alma’s (Rio Locsin) life, as her brother Jojo (William Lorenzo) adds to her challenges.
Despite the turmoil, Elias persists in his quest for justice, risking everything to protect his loved ones and the innocent.
Coming back to the series in its finale week is Mariano (Philip Salvador), the mysterious man who helped and trained Elias to become a full-blooded fighter.
As the top-rating full-action series draws to a close, Ruru hinted at what viewers could expect in the last few episodes.
“Dito na malalaman kung sino talaga ang magwawagi, kung ang kasamaan ba o kabutihan. And at the same time, marami rin talagang plot twists at revelations na hindi natin inaasahan. Even ako, nung nabasa ko ‘yung script, hindi ko rin inexpect na dito tayo pupunta, parang ganoon pala kalalim ‘yung pupuntahan ng istorya,” shared Ruru.
The “Primetime Action Hero” enjoyed taking the role of Elias, Black Rider, “Napakarami kong natutunan na alam kong dadalhin ko sa susunod ko pang proyekto. Sobrang minahal ko si Elias, binuhay ko siya na para bang nadala ko siya na kahit nasaan ako. Nadala ko ‘yung pagiging palaban niya, nadala ko ‘yung hustisya niya para sa lahat, at ‘yung pagiging leader niya. Alam kong kahit matapos ‘tong ‘Black Rider,’ hinding hindi na siya mawawala sa puso ko.”
