Powerhouse ensemble in ‘Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real’

CEBU, Philippines - There is a common misconception that there is only one person who can fulfill all our needs. However, others believe that every person is capable of loving many people on varying levels and intensity at the same time, and each person can fulfill a need that others can’t.

This June, GMA Network is again innovating primetime television fare as it presents “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real,” an intriguing and relatable story of a man marrying two women and loving them both equally at the same time. More than just another drama that highlights infidelity or unfaithfulness in relationships, the series aims to show the viewers the real consequences and the changes in the life of the betrayer and the betrayed –that there are no victors and everyone is affected to the point that even loved ones will take sides. The series premieres this Monday, June 2, replacing “Rhodora X” on GMA Telebabad.

This drama project will showcase the undeniable chemistry of the three multi-awarded artists Primetime King Dingdong Dantes as Anthony Real; Premier Drama Actress Lovi Poe as Shiela Salazar-Real; and the Diamond Star Ms. Maricel Soriano as Millet Gonzales-Real which will surely captivate viewers as they exemplify riveting performances.

Making the series grander are respected TV, theater, and movie actors and actresses who will be driven to take sides in the story: Robert Arevalo as Henry Gonzales, the rich and successful businessman and father of Millet; Celeste Legaspi as Aurora Gonzales, the beautiful and kind mother of Millet; Tommy Abuel as Justino Salazar, a retired police chief and strict father of Shiela; Jaime Fabregas as Jun Real, a simple, honest, upright man and father of Anthony; Susan Africa as Salome Salazar, the religious and devoted mother of Shiela; and making a grand comeback and celebrating her 40th year in the industry, Coney Reyes as Sonia Real, the amiable and loving mother of Anthony.

Adding glimmer to the powerhouse ensemble are versatile actors and actresses Alessandra de Rossi as Sandy Alegre, the caring best friend of Millet; Dominic Roco as Dado Salazar, the protective older brother of Shiela; Rodjun Cruz as Allan Real, the younger brother of Anthony who is close to Millet; Marc Abaya as Vincent Dumlao, the close friend of Anthony who knows about his two wives; and Marc Justine Alavarez as Tonton Real, the adopted son of Anthony and Millet.

In the series, Anthony Real (Dingdong) is a man who is in love with two women and marries them both. He is caught in a bigamous relationship with Millet and Shiela. Both women are endearing to Anthony, making him feel complete as a man, husband and father. And in his goal to keep the two women happy, he realizes that the choices he makes will hurt everyone.

Millet Gonzales-Real (Maricel) is a successful loving woman who will eventually give up her career to be a full-time caring wife. She is willing to do anything for her family and most especially for her husband Anthony. However, her world will be turned upside down when she finds out that there is also another Mrs. Anthony Real.

Meanwhile, Shiela Salazar-Real (Lovi) has a strong-willed and adventurous personality but eventually, her vulnerability as a woman will be revealed as she falls deeply in love with a man who will make her his everything. But everything will change when she finds out that she is not the only Mrs. Real.

Until when can Anthony live the life of being a husband to two wives? Will he let go of one to keep the other, or will he end up losing both? Will Millet and Shiela, the two ‘Mrs. Reals’ face and confront each other? Who will stay strong and fight for her right? Who will walk away and let go?

Under the helm of esteemed director Andoy Ranay, with the help of creative unit head Suzette Doctolero and concept creator and head writer Geng Delgado-Delos Reyes, “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real” will break the stereotype of people involved in extra-marital affairs. The series will show that all humans are flawed and have their own stories of love, pain and forgiveness that other people can identify with and learn from.
