Marian and Alden’s drama leads GMA-7’s new shows for 2014

MANILA, Philippines – Marian Rivera’s upcoming soap opera “Carmela” headlines GMA-7’s drama offerings for the first quarter of 2014.

Premiering January 27, “Carmela” will be the 29-year-old actress’ first show with GMA-7 since her contract renewal with the Kapuso network in August of last year. Marian will be partnered with Alden Richards in a show described by the network as “a beautiful story of love that can never be.”

“Carmela” is directed by Dominic Zapata and written by Suzette Doctolero, the duo behind GMA-7’s 2013 surprise hit “My Husband’s Lover.”

“Heavy drama ito. Isa na siguro ito sa pinakamabigat na dramang gagawin ko. Mas mabigat pa sa ‘Temptation of Wife’,” Marian said of “Carmela” in an interview with Philstar.com last year.

Of Alden, she said: “Naku, huwag siyang mag-alala dahil aalalayan ko siya at naniniwala ako sa kakayanan niya.”
