Dear Friend delivers the third offering of its summer specials featuring a touching drama in "Madrasta." This Sunday afternoon drama is slated to premiere on May 17.
The
four-part episode of "Madrasta" is topbilled by GMA-7's Drama
Princesses, Yasmien Kurdi and Iwa Moto. Both are products of the first batch of
the GMA-7 talent search StarStruck.
Completing the cast are Gary Estrada, Marco Alcaraz, Kevin Santos and Dang
Cruz.
With
director Jay Altarejos at the helm, "Madrasta" tells the
story of two women whose lives are intertwined by shades of intrigue, personal
ambitions and resentment.
Iwa
plays the role of Gellie who is often misjudged as a flirtatious, easy to get
type of girl by her schoolmates. Unknown to them, Gellie is trying to cope with
her harrowing experience as a battered girlfriend.
During
these trying times, she finds comfort in the arms of Arnold (Gary Estrada), the
owner of the school where she studies. On one occasion, Shiela (Yasmien) chances
upon Gellie talking to Arnold and immediately gives the wrong impression that
Gellie toys with older men. She brands Gellie as a gold-digger.
Gellie
and Arnold start seeing each other and despite their age differences, they fall
in love instantly. However, things get complicated on the day of their
engagement. Gellie discovers that Shiela is Arnold's daughter, her former
classmate who spread the false rumors about her.
Will
this revelation ignite the feud between the two women? How will Shiela deal and
accept the truth that Gellie is the new mistress of her father? Will Gellie
find peace in her heart?
