How Gabby Eigenmann's Changing Sunday afternoon viewing

Gabby Eigenmann is at the peak of his career. After bagging acting awards these past years, his home network has entrusted a much bigger break to him lately which allows him to change landscapes and not just earn bucks.

His latest feat: playing lead role in a weekend series InstaDad. He plays young father to three teenage triplets. Add to that, women triplets.

So we thought this was another teenage show you can forego. After all, there hasn't been a teenage show worthy of much attention after TGIS and Tabing Ilog days. But after watching a few episodes, we realized that this was more than just a teenage series. This is, more than anything, a project to showcase the versatility og Gabby Eigenmann himself.

To prove that, watch this clip from last Sunday's episode when he discovered that one of the triplets who just turned 16 is pregnant.

So InstaDad is not just another Sunday afternoon series. It's something that deserves attention especially among this generation's teenagers.

The good thing about highlighting in the father role of Gabby is it allows the show to showcase depth in both the story and the acting execution from the actor.

Upcoming Kapuso Shows Pari 'Koy & Instadad, Promising?

GMA Network held two story conferences yesterday for two daily series-- Pari 'Koy and InstaDad. Are they promising enough to be the country's talked about?

Pari 'Koy on Telebabad

Starring Dingdong Dantes and Sunshine Dizon along with veteran actors and child star Jillian Ward (who's turning out to be a not so child star anymore), Pari 'Koy is a concept that will feature a priest as the main lead that being Dingdong Dantes.

GMA Network's Primetime King describes briefly the role:

"Lumaki siya sa isang magandang pamilya, pero ang pinili niyang landas ay ang kanyang bokasyon, which is 'yung paninilbihan sa simbahan. Na-assign siya sa isang parish kung saan challenging para sa kanya dahil nandoon ang mga tao na mas nangangailangan ng tulong."

What to Expect

To be directed by Maryo J. De Los Reyes, expect this family drama to have almost the same lightness with Niño in terms of approach but heavy in terms of acting.

InstaDad on Afternoon Prime?

Starring Matet De Leon, Gabby Eigenman and new love team Juancho Trivino and Ashley Ortega, InstaDad has not yet been announced whether it will land on primetime or not. So it is most likely pegged to air via the force to reckon Afternoon Prime of Kapuso network.

In a recent interview with Juancho before the story con, he said that Artist Center was preparing him for a major role in an upcoming soap opera. And it turns out that this is what he was talking about. Although fans are hopeful for his new role, they can't be certain yet if this would really be it because with the concept of InstaDad, it seems like Gabby Eigenman and Matet De Leon are the lead in the story.

Will this new tandem generate a good following through this new soap opera? Is it safe to say that this would be Juancho's big break after a disappointing launch in TeenGen? Fans are hopeful that the Entertainment department will not fail them.

Two major shows. Two new concepts. Are they promising enough?
