The soap continued to air a few more years after Janice left but it started going on a downward trend and never regained its popularity.[citation needed]

De Belen returned to showbiz, returning to TV with the soap Jesy and the early evening variety show The Big, Big Show. She was considered the "80s Teen Drama Princess" alongside Julie Vega, whose soap Anna Liza provided stiff competition to Flordeluna. The two TV rivals co-starred in a number of '80s films, mostly produced by Regal Films. In 1982, de Belen was partnered with Gabby Concepcion through the films Puppy Love and Home Sweet Home.

She returned to the world of TV in soap in 1985 with Andrea Amor and Don Camote dela Mancha, both aired on GMA 7.
