'My Faithful Husband' challenges double standards
What if it is the wife who becomes unfaithful?
This is the intriguing premise of GMA Network’s newest primetime offering “My Faithful Husband” as it tackles the infidelity of the wife and how the faithful husband will face his life’s biggest challenge. The most controversial drama on GMA Telebabad begins tonight after “Beautiful Strangers.”
More than just another series that highlights infidelity or unfaithfulness in relationships, “My Faithful Husband” also probes into the far-reaching consequences when a man and his woman deviate from what is expected from them as husband and wife. It is also a story that will challenge all double standards and undermine all biases – like how infidelity is tolerable for a man to commit and abominable for a woman to succumb to and like how home keeping is honorable for a woman but ignoble for a man.
“My Faithful Husband” will showcase the undeniable chemistry of the two award-winning artists – Kapuso prime leading lady Jennylyn Mercado as Melanie “Mel” Fernandez-dela Paz and drama king Dennis Trillo as Emman dela Paz. Jennylyn and Dennis’ reunion and return to primetime TV will surely enthrall viewers as they exemplify riveting performances.
The new series is the story of Emman and Mel. Emman is a devoted and doting husband to Mel and father to their children. He is willing to do anything for his family. Meanwhile, Mel is a beautiful, spirited, and ambitious woman. She is married to Emman but after seeing her former boyfriend again, she suddenly gets confused about her feelings. Eventually, Emman finds out that the love of his life, Mel betrayed him. Will he let her go? Or will he do everything to make her fall in love with him again?
The drama series is under the helm of director Bb. Joyce Bernal. Included in the cast are Mikael Daez as Dean; veteran actors Snooky Serna as Mercedes, Ricky Davao as Arnaldo, Nonie Buencamino as Lorenz, Lloyd Samartino as Artemio, Timmy Cruz as Elvie and Rio Locsin as Carmen; with Louise delos Reyes as Mylene, Kevin Santos as Dodong, Jade Lopez as Doyee, Jerald Napoles as Mars, Julia Lee as Adelle, Jazz Ocampo as Carla, Aaron Yanga as Dante and Rexcy Evert as Soling.
