This 2014, which GMA Network actors and actresses will push the envelope and make a splash? GMANetwork.com came up with this list of Kapuso stars to watch out for!

7. Max Collins

She captivated us with her charm in Coffee Prince (Philippine Version) and made us cry buckets in Pahiram ng Sandali. Now, the ever-versatile Kapuso actress will be giving her all as she takes on yet another career milestone. The mestiza actress will be headlining the upcoming series, Enamorata. It will be exciting to see this Kapuso leading lady give her uniquely Max Collins spin to her newest role!

6. Kristoffer Martin and Kim Rodriguez

This talented pair succeeded in capturing our hearts as Gabo and Eliana in Kakambal ni Eliana. Now, the adorable love team is back to take things a notch higher in upcoming GMA Afternoon Prime series, Paraiso Ko’y Ikaw. Both Kristoffer and Kim have mentioned in their interviews that they will be breathing life into more mature roles for the project. Isn’t that intriguing?

5. Aljur Abrenica

In 2013, he made ladies scream at the Cosmo Bachelor Bash. He won as Best Performer numerous times in Sunday All Stars and showcased his singing and dancing talents through his Come and Get Me concert. He also reunited with his eleven-time on-screen partner, Kris Bernal in Prinsesa ng Buhay Ko. This 2014, nothing can stop Aljur Abrenica from his rise to the top. He will be coming out with a new album and a new series with a new love team. He will be paired with Louise de los Reyes for the first time in Kambal Sirena. With so much in store for Aljur, it seems that the hunky Kapuso star has no other choice but to shine.

4. Louise de los Reyes

From Alakdana to Mundo Mo’y Akin, Louise de los Reyes has always had a knack for challenging and off-beat roles. In what could be her most challenging role to date, the Kapuso actress will be donning a fish tail and will be playing twins in upcoming GMA Telebabad series, Kambal Sirena. She will also be having a new love team in the person of Kapuso hunk, Aljur Abrenica. Watch Louise break boundaries and take the plunge!

3. Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras

It has been four long years since the two were paired together on-screen. The fact remains that though they are no longer together in real life, Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras have a spark that never fades. In what could be considered an answered prayer, the two will be having an on-screen reunion via the dark, intriguing and enigmatic GMA Telebabad series, Rhodora X. Exploring the human psyche, Rhodora X is another groundbreaking TV offering from GMA. Mark and Jennylyn playing a married couple in the series will defnitely leave everyone clamoring for more.

2. Alden Richards

We’ve seen him all cutesy and adorable in Tween Hearts. Then, he became the knight in shining armor in Alakdana, One True Love and Mundo Mo’y Akin. Still, he was a good boy in our eyes. The good news is the good boy will now be turning bad, sort of. After stripping down to his boxers in the Cosmo Bachelor Bash, Alden now takes it to the next level in Carmela. More toned, mature and hunky, he will be paired with no less than the Kapuso Primetime Queen, Marian Rivera. Alden Richards version 2014 will rock your socks off.

1. Marian Rivera

Television’s most stunning is back. She’s not just Marimar, Dyesebel and Darna. Now, she will breathe life into the arrestingly beautiful, Carmela. Carmela is the girl that all men love and all women love to hate. Could it be that her beauty is her curse? Watch the one and only Kapuso Primetime Queen do what she does best in this series. Also, she will be paired with Kapuso hunk, Alden Richards. Promising and 100% worth watching out for!
