GMA Network rings in the New Year with the launch of its first afternoon prime drama for 2013 - FOREVER, which features riveting performances from some of the biggest Kapuso stars today. It will air beginning January 21  before 24 Oras.
 
Forever promises to steal the viewers' hearts as it follows a captivating storyline that explores the enduring power of love between two individuals who will let fate determine if they are meant to be together despite time, distance, and the obstacles that conspire to keep them apart.
 
This original offering features the dramatic talents of prime Kapuso leading man Geoff Eigenmann as Ramon/Patrick, multi-award winning actress Heart Evangelista as Adora and the original Queen of Philippine Movies Ms Gloria Romero as Adora.
 
Forever begins with the story of Adora, the sole heir to a wealthy sugar plantation in the 1950s. Despite her social status, Adora falls in love with the poor and passionate Ramon, a farmer who works in their farm. Her domineering father Don Jamie strongly disapproves of Adora's relationship with Ramon but the young lovers pledge to stay together regardless of Don Jamie's objection. This forbidden romance eventually leads to Ramon's death who vows to return to be with his one true love Adora.
 
Adora is devastated with Ramon's passing and she realizes her life is now empty and meaningless without him. But she gets a second chance to be reunited with Ramon after an old woman gives her an antique pocket watch that could bring back her youth.
 
Fast forward to the present time where Adora will be reunited anew with Ramon but this time in the persona of Patrick, a painter who will form an unusual romantic connection with Adora. Will the promise of Adora and Ramon to rekindle their romance transcends time no matter where or when their paths cross?
