GMA-7 just unveiled the look of Kris Bernal as Nimfa and Rosette in the upcoming afternoon drama series Impostora.
The Kapuso Network also revealed the other stars who will reprise roles seen in the two previous incarnations: the 1994 movie Sa Isang Sulok ng mga Pangarap and the 2007 teleserye Impostora.
This is technically the third adaptation of the story since the movie was based on the comics serial Sa Isang Sulok ng mga Pangarap, which was written by RJ Nuevas.
This time, some characters were redefined while others were added to give the 2017 version a modern-day twist.
Kris will soon portray the roles once played by Alice Dixson, Sunshine Dizon, and Iza Calzado.
PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) takes a look at the past and present cast members of Impostora.

ROSETTE
In the original movie version, Rosette is played by ALICE DIXSON. Rosette used Nimfa so she could escape her life with husband Homer (Ariel Rivera) and live with her lover Errol (Ton-ton Gutierrez).
In Impostora's 2007 version, SUNSHINE DIZON (middle) played Vanessa, a spoiled brat rich woman who used Sara to leave her husband Nicholas (Mark Anthony Fernandez) and fly to the States with her lover Leandro (Luis Alandy).
Ten years after the first TV adaptation, KRIS BERNAL will also portray the role of Rosette. This will be the first time that Kris will play a bad girl role.

HOMER
ARIEL RIVERA (left) played Homer in the 1994 movie version. He is the rich husband of Rosette who was caught in a web of lies and deception by his wife, Rosette.
In the TV series, MARK ANTHONY FERNANDEZ (middle) was tapped to play this character but he was renamed as Nicholas. He is a rich businessman who was enraged when he discovered that his wife Vanessa stole his fortune and left with another man.
This 2017, RAFAEL ROSELL will take on the role of Homer. As Nimfa continues to pretend to be Rosette, Homer slowly falls in love with the woman he thought is his wife.

JEREMY
In the 1994 version, TONTON GUTIERREZ played the role of Errol, Rosette's lover who conceived the plot of deceiving Homer. He bumped into Nimfa and pretended to be her friend. When he found out that policemen were looking for Nimfa, he suggested that she undergo plastic surgery courtesy of his friend who is a surgeon.
Meanwhile, in Impostora 2007, LUIS ALANDY played Dr. Leandro Meneses, a plastic surgeon who used the ugly Sara for his schemes. He changed her face to Vanessa's and sent her to pretend as the pretty lady.
The 2017 version mixes the events and roles in the movie and the first TV version, thus, the character of JEREMY was born, to be played by RYAN EIGENMANN. The plastic surgeon gives Nimfa an offer too good to refuse: to become a pretty woman and leave her ugly face and life behind.

TRINA
In the three Impostora incarnations, the leading man has a friend or a family member who will be the first to find out that Nimfa is pretending to be Rosette.
In Sa Isang Sulok ng mga Pangarap, MONIQUE WILSON played the role of Jinnet, Homer's best friend who has feelings for him. When she realized that Rosette has changed, she investigated and found out that Rosette is an impostor.
Meanwhile, in the 2007 version, CHANDA ROMERO played Anatella, the mother of Nicholas who found out that the Vanessa living inside their house is Sara. Instead of sending her out of the house, she kept it as a secret and allowed Sara to pretend as Vanessa. This was when Anatella witnessed first-hand how she loved Vanessa and Nicholas's children.
In the new version, Homer now has a sister named TRINA, and will be played by ASSUNTA DE ROSSI. Based on the teaser, she will sense that Nimfa is not the real Rosette.

CRISEL
Crisel is the reason why Nimfa's life changed. She has always ridiculed Nimfa in front of other people and told her that she will never be loved. Because of this, Nimfa lost her temper and slammed Crisel's face on a red-hot grill.
Scared to go to jail, Nimfa escaped and from there, she met the man who changed her face and her life.
In the 2017 version, VANESS DEL MORAL will take on the role of Crisel, previously portrayed by TERESA LOYZAGA in the 1994 movie.
