Forbidden love story told in drama mini-series
GMA brings the first installment of the drama mini-series Stories From the Heart: Loving Miss Bridgette, which premiered on September 13 in the afternoon block.
Stories From the Heart is a unique drama mini-series of unusual love stories reflecting how social media affects the relationship of lovers and the people surrounding them.
The drama mini-series begins with Loving Miss Bridgette, which introduces the fresh pairing of fast-rising heartthrob Kelvin Miranda as Marcus Villareal, a selfrighteous Biology student who is bent on pursuing his counselor; and, in her very first GMA series, character actress and the new contract star Beauty Gonzalez as Bridgette de Leon, an old-fashioned guidance counselor who is recently annulled and has a chance encounter with her student that will change both of their lives.
Beauty shares her sentiments on her highly-anticipated debut series in the network: “Feeling ko ang tagal ko nang Kapuso kasi sobrang welcoming at bait nilang lahat sa akin. I feel so privileged that there is a good company that trusts and believes in me like GMA. Nakakaganang ibigay ko lahat ng best ko para sa kanila. I feel so happy about the show, the script is so beautiful kaya excited ako every day to go to work. Our director really helps us. ’Yung coactors ko, sobrang babait nilang lahat. Everyone really makes me feel at home and comfortable sa work.”
Kelvin, in turn, expresses his utmost admiration for Beauty and his gratitude to the network for entrusting him the role: “Sobrang thankful ako na maging leading man niya. Talaga namang dekalibreng aktres si Beauty at kita naman iyon sa iba’t ibang karakter na ginampanan niya. Nakakainspire na everyday nakakatrabaho ko siya at panibagong knowledge sa acting ang natutunan ko. Hindi lang kay Beauty, pati na rin sa iba pang cast members and kay Direk Adolf [Alix, the director of the show].”
Also in the cast are Lloyd Samartino, Bing Loyzaga, Polo Ravales, Adrian Alandy, Tart Carlos, Noel Colet, Nikki
Co, Pamela Prinster and Shanicka Arganda.

Magno, with James Ryan Manabat as executive producer, with Adolf Alix Jr. directing. It airs weekdays in the afternoon.
