Sunshine Dizon is Emma, a sweet and cheerful souvenir merchant who falls deeply in love with a pilot and marries him. According to Sunshine, she appreciates how GMA Network continues to give her challenging and offbeat roles all these years.
"I'm just really blessed and happy because through the years, hindi naman tumigil talaga ang GMA with giving me characters that are always unforgettable. Talagang naalagaan nila ako sa aspeto na 'yun. I'm very happy and grateful for that," the Kapuso actress said.
"Also, what's nice about Ika-6 Na Utos, it's a story of most women out there who are suffering silently. We hope that with this show, we will be able to help them somehow to realize na marami pa silang puwedeng gawin. Marami pang options sa buhay. Marami ring mga babaeng makaka-relate dito, not only because may pinagdadaanan sila but also, kuwento ito ng babaeng isang anak, isang ina, isang asawa, isang kaibigan," Sunshine added.
Gabby Concepcion is Rome, a refined pilot and Emma's husband who fights for his love for her despite his mother's disapproval. The seasoned actor shares that the show is one of his new milestones as an actor because it enabled him to experience different things.
"This show is a new thing to me. Ang dami kong firsts dito. First time na gaganap ako na piloto. First time ko na magkakaroon ng isang afternoon show. Maganda ang story and I'm up for change. First time kong makakatrabaho for a soap sila Sunshine and Ryza."
"Also, at this point in my career, gusto ko naman na bawat teleseryeng gagawin ko ay may message at puwedeng may maibahaging aral sa viewers natin. I feel na mayroon akong responsibilidad sa audience ko. So, sa bawat papanoorin nilang mga teleseryeng gagawin ko, sana mayroon akong message na iiwan sa kanila at kung papaano ako makakatulong sa experience ko or sa experience ng ibang tao sa kanilang sariling buhay," he further added.
Rome and Emma is the perfect combination of a happy couple everyone dreams about. But just like any other relationships. problems and issues arise that put their marriage in jeopardy. Rome widens his circle with his career success while Emma focuses on taking good care of their family.

Ryza considers playing the role of Georgia as an avenue to showcase the other story of a kept woman. "Ang maganda dito kasi ipapakita namin 'yung side ng kabit kung bakit niya ginagawa 'yun. Hindi naman namin sinasabi na tama 'yung pagiging kabit. Kumbaga mayroon din siyang emosyon, tao lang din siya. Nagmamahal lang," the Kapuso actress said.
Joining them are Mike Tan as Angelo, Flor's older brother who plans to help Emma and eventually develops feelings for her; Rich Asuncion as Flor, Emma's liberated best friend who the latter considers as her sister; Daria Ramirez as Lourdes, Emma's weak mother who she loves and understands the most; Carmen Soriano as Margarita, the sophisticated mother-in-law of Emma who belittles her because of her social class; Marco Alcaraz as Chandler, Rome's co-pilot and confidante; Mel Martinez as Zeny, the right-hand man of Margarita; and Arianne Bautista as Selma, Georgia's friend.
