PROGRAMMING IS RETURNING TO NORMAL AT GMA NETWORK WITH THE RESUMPTION OF TAPING OF REGULAR SHOWS STOPPED BY THE LOCKDOWN

SLOWLY, things are going back to normal at the Kapuso station with the resumption of taping of regular shows that were stopped by the corona lockdown. “Descendants of the Sun” with Dingdong Dantes, Jennylyn Mercado and Rocco Nacino returned on primetime last Monday night replacing “I Can See You”.


It started with a recap of past episodes, with new episodes to start airing on November 5.


The next drama series of GMA-7 to return on the air with fresh new episodes this new month of November is the hit Afternoon Prime soap, “Prima Donnas”, with Jillian Ward, Althea Ablan, Katrina Halili, Wendell Ramos, Aiko Melendez and Chanda Romero. 


Now currently back to taping new episodes is the primetime romantic comedy, “Anak ni Waray vs. Anak ni Biday” starring Barbie Forteza, Kate Valdez and Migo Adecer. 


In the afternoon slot, the second soap to resume taping is “Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit” which is currently on a lock in taping in San Mateo, Rizal with Nora Aunor, Mylene Dizon, Kyline Alcantara, Zoren Legaspi and Yasser Marta. 


After this, it will be the turn of the last afternoon drama series to resume taping, “Magkaagaw”, starring Sunshine Dizon, Sheryl Cruz, Jeric Gonzales and Klea Pineda.  


And on primetime, the last show to tape new episodes will be “Love of My Life” with Rhian Ramos, Carla Abellana, Mikael Daez and Coney Reyes. 


The script had to be rewritten because the original story had two child actors in the cast playing the sons of Rhian and Carla, and kiddie stars are no longer allowed to tape now, just like Sofia Pablo in "Prima Donnas".


Aside from these shows, they will also start taping new drama series. 


The first of which is “First Yaya” starring Gabby Concepcion, Pancho Magno and Sanya Lopez in the title role. So it’s really safe to say that things are gong back to normal on GMA Network. 


Even their weekly shows are now doing nothing but new episodes for shows like “Magpakailanman”, “Wish Ko Lang”, “Pepito Manaloto”, “Dear Uge”.
