Director Adolf Alix Jr. promises mixture of light and dramatic moments in 'Loving Miss Bridgette'

"Loving Miss Bridgette" is the first mini-series from the upcoming afternoon drama anthology Stories from the Heart.

The titular Bridgette is played by Kapuso actress Beauty Gonzalez. The series is her first in the Kapuso network.

"I'm Miss Bridgette de Leon. Ako 'yung guidance counselor who came from a broken marriage and searching for myself. Nahanap ko si Marcus na magbibigay ng kulay sa buhay ko," Beauty revealed in a virtual media conference for the show held on September 8.

The show pairs her with a younger leading man, Kapuso cutie Kelvin Miranda.

"Ako po si Marcus Villareal, pre-med student at ang mangagambala ng buhay ni Bridgette," he says of his character.

The series is helmed by award-winning director Adolf Alix Jr. He promises a different treatment for this afternoon drama series while still staying true to certain elements that Kapuso viewers enjoy.

"Noong pinabasa po nila sa akin 'yung materyal, maganda naman po 'yung pagkalatag kasi nga medyo kakaiba 'yung treament. Kadalasan 'pag sa hapon medyo mabigat 'yung tema, pero ito mixture. May konting light elements pero at the same time, 'yung familiar elements na inaabangan ng mga Kapuso 'pag hapon, nandoon din po," he explained.

Direk Adolf also lauded his lead stars Kelvin and Beauty for creating a spark between their characters.

"Noong nakita namin 'yung mga scenes, especially 'yung mga scenes nila sa school at saka outside sa school, nakita naman namin kung paano rin nag-invest si Kelvin at saka si Beauty doon sa roles nila. 'Pag pinanood po nila, makikita naman nila 'yung spark noong characters nila," he shared.

Catch the world premiere of Stories from the Heart: Loving Miss Bridgette on September 13, 3:25 pm on GMA Afternoon Prime.
