Camille Prats has signed off as her character, Olive, in "Mommy Dearest" and now plans to take a break from doing teleseryes so she can focus on her family. 

On Instagram, the Kapuso actress shared several photos of herself with her co-stars and crew while on the set of the show. 

"When GMA offered me this role, it wasn’t a difficult decision to make. What I didn’t realize was how much I had been longing—as an actress—to take on a character different from the ones I usually portray: the kind-hearted, often oppressed protagonist," she wrote. 

According to Camille, Olive's character revitalized her passion for acting and allowed her to discover her creativity differently. 

In her heartfelt post, she extended her gratitude to directors Ralph Malabunga and Gina Alajar, her co-stars, and crew, as well as the creatives who have been part of the show. 

She also thanked GMA Network, writing, "Thank you for entrusting me with the roles of Olive and Jade, and for believing that I am the right fit for the role." 

Per Camille, "Mommy Dearest" is special to her now that she has decided to step away from teleseryes for the meantime. 

"This project is especially close to my heart as I’ve decided to take a break from doing seryes for now, to devote more time to my growing children and family. Turns out, hindi ko pala kayang hatiin ang katawan ko," she wrote. 

She added that while she's grateful for the support the show has received, her priority is to be a wife and mom first. 

"Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. Hanggang sa muli. Olive Caparas, signing off." 

In "Mommy Dearest," Camille played the role of twin sisters Olive and Jade Caparas. 

The series follows the life of Mookie (Shayne Sava) who tries to navigate life despite her serious illnesses since childhood. However, her overprotective mother Olive (Camille) refrains her from going out and discovering the world, making Mookie seem like a prisoner in their own home.

Also part of the show are Katrina Halili, Amy Austria, Winwyn Marquez, and Dion Ignacio, among others. 

"Mommy Dearest" is now on its finale week. It airs weekdays at 3:20 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime.
