"Naka-relate ako sa kanya sa pagiging matapang niya na I feel like at a point in my life or sometimes I don’t feel comfortable showing my feelings or being vulnerable towards the people that I care about like my family. Parang hindi ako completely comfortable na maging 100% vulnerable because I don’t want them to see me breaking down. 'Yung ganun, 'yung parang kailangan kong maging strong, maging matapang kasi I can’t afford to break down, parang ganun. Doon ako naka-relate sa kanya kasi when she was in Cyprus hindi niya sinasabi sa pamilya niya yung pinagdadaanan niya kasi nga she didn't want them to know that she was suffering, kasi she was doing that for them. It’s hard to sometimes show the people that you cared about na nagsa-suffer ka because you don't want them to worry about you, you don't want to be a burden, in that sense naka-relate ako kay Abby," Estrada shared.

Its success saw the title expand as a radio drama, a 1994 movie, and a comic book adaptation, among others, with its regular weekend run (and the guessing game of its episode titles) making a mark on pop culture.
