Richard Yap will be paired with Heart Evangelista in his first teleserye with GMA-7.
He will play the male lead in the upcoming Kapuso prime-time series I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.
On January 30, 2021, a fan account of GMA-7 with the handle @kapusonetizens posted about Richard joining Heart in the teleserye.
Heart liked the Instagram post.
Today, January 31, the stars of GMA-7's upcoming programs did video greetings to celebrate All-Out Sundays’ first anniversary.
Heart and Richard did separate video greetings under the banner of I Left My Heart in Sorsogon. This validated Richard's entry to I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.
But even before this and the formal announcement of GMA-7, a Kapuso insider already divulged a few details about Richard's first project as a Kapuso.
On January 2, 2021, a user named outburn07 revealed the major cast of the series, along with the other titles of upcoming programs announced by GMA-7 during its New-Year Countdown for 2021.
KAPAMILYA ACTRESS JOINING HEART’S SHOW?
The same post mentioned that Heart and Richard will be joined by Kapuso actor Gil Cuerva and an unnamed Kapamilya actress who will transfer to GMA-7.
No information was provided about the Kapamilya actress joining Heart, Richard, and Gil.
The PinoyExchange user has been releasing insider information—such as the cast and storyline—about upcoming GMA-7 shows since 2012, even before the Kapuso network could make the official announcement. And most of the user's information—e.g. Temptation of Wife, Makapiling Kang Muli, Forever, and other programs—proved to be correct.
Back to I Left My Heart in Sorsogon, its story is centered on a probinsyana turned fashionista (Heart) who will return to her hometown.
Heart promised in a tweet that her upcoming series will show "a lot of fashion and Sorsogon."
