Over the years, GMA Network has been known for its breakthrough and thought-provoking dramas which keep viewers entertained, whatever time of day. This year is no different.
In the Afternoon Prime block, The Half Sisters will celebrate its first anniversary in June, making it the longest-running daytime drama. Similarly, Yagit and the recently launched Healing Hearts are also receiving much love from Kapuso viewers.
Meanwhile, the GMA Telebabad block boasts of programs which are inspired by real-life stories and situations, such as The Rich Man's Daughter, Pari 'Koy, and Let the Love Begin.
For the second half of 2015, there are more Kapuso dramas you should not miss.
GMA brings back Mari Mar to the small screen, but this time, with a different take on the famous Mexican telenovela. The title role will be played by Miss World 2013 Megan Young, while Tom Rodriguez will give life to the character of Sergio.
Meanwhile, Kapuso leading ladies Heart Evangelista and Lovi Poe will once again show their acting prowess in the prime time drama Beautiful Strangers. They will be joined by Christopher de Leon, Rocco Nacino and Benjamin Alves in this intriguing story of friendship, betrayal, and rivalry.
Kapuso singer-actors Kylie Padilla, Julie Anne San Jose, and Julian Trono will be seen in the upcoming series Buena Familia. Martin del Rosario, Jake Vargas and Mona Louis Rey complete the lead cast in the GMA Afternoon Prime soap. The gripping drama will focus on a family and how its members cope with their misfortunes.
Following the success of The Half Sisters, the popular love team of Andre Paras and Barbie Forteza will continue to delight fans in a weekly show, Dunk In Love. Caught between the rivalry of their families, the relationship will be tested in this romantic comedy.
Another popular love team returns to television with Womb for Hire. Miguel Tanfelix and Bianca Umali portray two friends willing to help one another in their darkest times. This is a story of how unseen circumstances can change what could have been a great friendship, and shatter what should have been a joyous journey to motherhood.
Yagit star Chlaui Malayao will soon follow-up her Afternoon Prime hit with Little Mommy. The new program will be led by Kapuso actress/host Carla Abellana and young star Jillian Ward. The drama revolves around an intellectually disabled character who gives birth to a child and faces the challenges of being a mother.
Award-winning actors Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado will be paired onscreen anew in Faithful Husband. It tells the story of a husband who tries to pick up the pieces of his broken family after he discovers his wife's unfaithfulness. The provocative drama is scheduled to launch later in the year.
