With the second season of "Encantadia" about to debut anytime now, the question in everybody's mind is: Will Sunshine Dizon accept the chance to work with Iza Calzado this time?

Sunshine is all poised to return to the small screen via the GMA-7 fantasy series, where in the original “Encantadia,” she played one of the four "sangres" (keeper of the gems). She is Pirena (Fire), while Iza is Amihan (Air), Diana Zubiri is Danaya (Earth), and Karylle is Alena (Water).

Reports have it that the new season will have new "sangres" in Carla Abellana, Rhian Ramos, Jackie Rice, and Jennylyn Mercado.

It isn't clear what role Sunshine will be playing but Iza will reportedly essay the role of Ynang Reyna, originally played by Dawn Zulueta, for the 2010 version tentatively titled "Encantadia: The Second Saga." 

Sunshine and Iza’s professional feud reportedly started when they taped for "All About Eve." Their on-screen rivalry has reportedly gone personal and from best friends, they have become bitter enemies.

In one report, Sunshine allegedly refused to share a dressing room with Iza during the taping for the birthday special of Dingdong Dantes, preferring to stay outside the whole time.

Allegedly, the spat stemmed from Sunshine’s unprofessional conduct on the set, marked by her tardiness. Iza was also reportedly hurt when she was told by a production staff to change her outfit one taping day because Sunshine was already wearing a dress of the same color.

This feud was aggravated when Sunshine did not greet Iza on her birthday in "Unang Hirit." She was also conspicuously absent during the celebration. And to make their spat even more obvious, Sunshine did not even do the requisite VTR greeting for Iza during her “SOP” birthday celebration.

Sunshine denied it being intentional.

“I’m bad with dates. Even ‘yong birthday ng mommy ko, nasi-switch ko sa birthday ng kuya ko. But I’ve made sure na kasabay ng pagbati ni Kuya Lhar (Santiago) sa ‘Unang Hirit’ ay binati ko na rin siya,” Sunshine explained in one interview.

Sunshine also said that she greeted Iza when they shared the stage during Dingdong’s birthday special.

“Honestly, this is such a petty thing. Hindi na ito dapat pinalaki,” Sunshine said in almost sheer resignation.  

In past interviews, when their friendship had not yet been strained, Iza and Sunshine displayed their love for each other. In the media huddle for "Impostora," for example, both actresses had expressed their willingness to do a kissing scene with each other.  

“Kaibigan ko siya and she's the person I'm most comfortable with. Para maganda ang kalabasan ng eksena, kailangang kumportable ka sa taong makakahalikan mo,” Iza had said.

“Oo naman, si Calzado pa? Why not, walang malisya 'yon at gagawin namin dahil trabaho. Hindi ko lang siya kaibigan, kapatid pa,” Sunshine had also once enthused.

Only recently, Sunshine was tapped to be the judge in “StarStruck V” but was replaced by Iza when the former begged off for health reasons.
