John Estrada is set to top-bill his third project with GMA-7.
He will be paired again with Carmina Villarroel in a still-untitled afternoon series.
A story conference was held last November 26.
John and Carmina, who first worked with each othet in the ABS-CBN sitcom Palibhasa Lalake, played a married couple in the defunct GMA-7 teleserye Kara Mia.
Apart from John and Carmina, the show will also be top-billed by Kambal, Karibal actress Pauline Mendoza, who gets her big break via this drama series.
Kristoffer Martin, Dave Bornea, and David Licauco are part of the cast.
StarStruck season 6 finalist Liezel Lopez will play her first major role in this Kapuso teleserye.
This will be the first time that John will be part of a GMA-7 afternoon series after he signed a per-program contract with the Kapuso network in 2018.
His past projects in GMA-7 include the prime-time shows Victor Magtanggol and Kara Mia.
In ABS-CBN, John did an afternoon series only once, which was the short-lived teleserye Walang Iwanan in 2015.
The upcoming Kapuso teleserye is also Carmina's comeback in the afternoon block of GMA-7.
Her first and last afternoon series in GMA-7 was the 2011 series Pahiram ng Isang Ina. It was also her last TV project with GMA-7 before she transferred to ABS-CBN in late 2011.
In ABS-CBN, Carmina was able to do three afternoon shows: Recuerdo de Amor (2002), May Isang Pangarap (2013), and her last Kapamilya project, Doble Kara (2015 to 2017).
PAULINE MENDOZA-KRISTOFFER MARTIN TEAM-UP?
It seems like Pauline Mendoza and Kristoffer Martin will be paired in the project.
GMA-7's talent arm, GMA Artist Center, posted a photo of the two of them together during the story conference.
Pauline and Kristoffer both took to Instagram to express their excitement for the project.
Pauline, who gets her first break after doing Kambal, Karibal, wrote, "This is it! Thank you Lord for this blessing. And, of course maraming salamat @artistcenter @gmanetwork @gmapinoytv @gmadrama for trusting me with this amazing project. I am so happy and excited to work with these amazing people. Soon on GMA Afternoon Prime"
Kristoffer, who played kontrabida in his latest projects Victor Magtanggol and Wagas, wrote in his caption, "Gandang regalo sakin ni Lord. Thank you po! Excited to work with these talented actors! Game!"
GMA-7 has yet to announce other details of the John-Carmina afternoon series, including its airing date.
