New GMA Afternoon Prime Show SHINING INHERITANCE Premieres September 9

 

Every time I get invited to a GMA press conference, I know it's going to be BIG.

This goes the same with this new series called "SHINING INHERITANCE", a Philippine adaptation of a KDrama series entitled "Brilliant Legacy" shown around 2009. 

Kate Valdez is going to be leading this show together with the iconic Ms. Coney Reyes. The main antagonist is going to be Kyline Alcantara who's previously worked with Kate in an opposite role. They will be together with Paul Salas, Michael Sager, Roxie Smith, the vampiric Wendell Ramos, Ms. Glydel Mercado, Aubrey Miles, Gio Alvarez, Dave Bornea, Jamir Zabarte, Seth Dela Cruz, and very funny newcomer Charuth (who also hosted the event).

Kate says "I already worked with her (Kyline) in Black Lipstick and I'm very excited to work with her because I want her to make life hard with my character. I'm thankful she's the Joanna to my Ynna. I was able to create the persona of my character because she breathed life with hers. People think she's serious all the time but no, she's very makulit in real life." 

Kyline replied "This is our moment, this is it Kate! Like what she said, we've worked together in Black Lipstick where she played the contrabida. But now, this is my turn to make her character's life miserable. I also got to create my character's persona because of her. Kate is a thinking actress. She gives emotions on scenes that you can feed off of. I know the scenes are difficult but if you have someone like her who is generous, you can make the scenes easy because of her and the rest of the cast who are equally good."

The trailer alone looks painful when Kyline smothered Kate's face on the ground. In the series, there will be a lot of this and more as they promised... plus some unforgettable ones from Ms. Coney Reyes.

She says "First of all, like the character I'm really a grandma. It hits home, and also having dementia, it's a challenge and it is hard to portray Dela Costa. It's my 50th year in show business, I started in May of 1974. My first drama was here in GMA, it was around 1981 after I gave birth to my first child. After the noontime show, I was lucky to be next in a drama. When I found out this was in the same slot, it was a welcome thing for me. Lord definitely has a reason why he put me here. It doesn't matter for me to be here or in prime time. It is exciting for me to see how it is again in the afternoon prime. Many of my followers are mothers, housewives, grandmas, same as my age. I am working with Gen Z actors here, it's a blessing from God to be working alongside the Gen Z generation and a different set of audience. God gave me different shows with a different set of actors and I think a new set of audience from previous shows will appreciate that. I believe there's a purpose, to use what he gave me and share it."

Shining Inheritance will premiere on September 9. Make sure you watch the show because it's going to be in a Filipino perspective. This is going to be a lot different than the KDrama execution according to the director.

Prima Donnas To Show More Twists on GMA Afternoon Prime

Top Rating Prima Donnas has extended their watching hours til Saturdays and with the recent success of the show, these ladies are excited to share what will happen with the story. Yes, there will be more twists and turns that are bound to affect you during afternoons, because there will be more!

Elijah Alejo plays Brianna, the villainess in the show. She says “We are doing this to inspire people. Our faith with God and the good things we have done with Direk Gina. There might be more characters in the coming weeks and who knows, we might have new love interests. Brianna will be more greedy, there will be more hospital scenes and fights you will see on screen.”

Althea Ablan adds “We have veterans from the competing show, but we did good despite that. James Blanco just came in the picture and it will be something people will look forward to. We do talk about boys, and if ever I got to choose, I would like to work with Miguel Tanfelix.”

Sofia Pablo says “When we learned that it will only be two weeks before they leave, it didn’t matter to us but we definitely made it as a challenge. I remember the scenes I did with Brianna, slapped her hard. Who knows, those memes about Encantadia might happen, if given a chance it would be fun to do that or any role for that matter.”

Jillian Ward “We have a solid story, it is important to learn and inspire, Mondays to Saturdays is such a long time to entertain people and we have to be more creative, which we are very confident about. Work is work, even if we do hurt each other in scenes we know before and after the scene we have to check. Every time we slap each other the ratings go high. That fruit salad scene is unforgettable, it stuck on my hair for a while.”

Thanks Mara Wrigley for the chocolates! Rinoa Essential Oil and Vitamilk for the stuff. You will catch Prima Donnas Monday to Saturday at 2:30pm.
