3 women in love with the same ex
What if three beautiful, independent women who have the same exboyfriend meet and they all happen to still be in love with him? Can they set their personal differences aside and fight for love fairly, or this is a case of every woman for herself?
GMA Network starts the year with a bang as it unveils “The One That Got Away,” a sexy, romantic comedy series that will surely entertain and make viewers believe in love, family, friendship, and all the craziness that goes with it.
Headlining this primetime soap are Rhian Ramos as Zoe, Max Collins as Darcy and the Kapuso Premier Drama Actress Lovi Poe as Alex, with the Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo as Liam who plays the man whom these women had a relationship with in the past.
The first ex-girlfriend is Lovi as Alexandra Rey “Alex” Makalintal. She is beautiful, independent, family-oriented and incredibly career-driven. She and Liam fell madly in love. Alex’s family loved Liam too, and Liam’s friends all liked Alex for him. But Alex’s career goals got in the way. She rejected Liam’s marriage proposal and they parted ways.
Max is the second ex-girlfriend as Darlene “Darcy” Sibuyan. She and Liam met after Liam broke up with Alex. They became friends until they fell for each other. But when an opportunity abroad presented itself to Darcy, she decided to take it. The long distance relationship didn’t work for both of them, eventually breaking them apart.
The third ex-girlfriend is Rhian as Sophia Elizabeth “Zoe” Velasquez. She is a swimwear designer and blogger who’s always out for fun. Her parents separated when she was young which is why Liam became her pseudo-family. However, Zoe’s possessive tendencies and Liam’s busy schedule is the reason why their relationship fell apart. But ever since breaking up with him, Zoe regretted her decision and wants Liam back.
Dennis is William Dominic “Liam” Ilustre or Alex, Darcy, and Zoe’s exboyfriend. He is the ideal boyfriend—handsome, smart, loving, and a true gentleman. He manages his own organic farm and dreams of a big, happy family. He eventually meets a fatal accident and wakes up from a coma to find his three exes together in his hospital room.
Three perfectly lovely women are still in love with him. But who will win his heart again? More importantly, how does friendship thrive among Alex, Darcy, and Zoe if they were all once romantically linked with the same man?
Also featured in this frenzied tale is a roster of talented actors with boyish good looks and arresting charm.
Ivan Dorschner is Inigo Sandoval, Liam’s college friend and a trust fund baby who graduated with a business degree. He loves traveling the world and meets a lot of women doing so. Later on, he falls in love with Darcy and this will cause a conflict with him and Liam.
