It's The Richman's Daughter vs. Pangako Sayo 2015

So the battle for primetime supremacy is not between remakes Let the Love Begin of GMA Telebabad and upcoming Pangako Sayo of ABS-CBN Primetime Bida. The real battle is between the latter versus lesbian-themed soap opera The Richman's Daughter.

It's not genre versus same genre anymore. It's a battle between stellar casts, between stories that will engage audience more, between twists that will make hold on to their seats. And so far, these two have it based on trailers and writeups.

The Richman's Daughter will pilot next Monday and for sure it will take third slot after Let the Love Begin. Starring Rhian Ramos as Jade, her role will not be the only major one to watch out for but of Chynna Ortaleza's as well. Batchi Luna will certainly resound in households. The butch type of lesbian to be portrayed by Ortaleza will, take it from us, be television's most memorable character this 2015.

#PangakoSaYo2015
This one right here is undisputably gaining a good viewership judging on Youtube views alone of its first trailer. Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo are the hottest teenage actors in this generation.

But Star Creatives leveled up the game by going beyond the KathNiel fever and offering viewers a more engaging soap opera. They're doing this by making the storyline execution of the parents also very interesting this time. To be played by Jodi Sta. Maria, Ian Veneracion and Angelika Panganiban as the new Claudia, the first week will surely be something to watch out for. And it will be a display of acting skills as well for these three.

So what makes a remake a better version of the original? We think that Pangako Sayo 2015 is about to answer that question. And we are about to see in our eyes a better version of the old one. We get this idea through its first trailer that opens with a line, "kung inaakala mo alam mo ang kanilang kwento, nagkakamali ka."

It will be one exciting ride on primetime television this season. After this round will come two reality shows. That's another exciting thing.

The Richman's Daughter Jade: From Marian Rivera to Rhian Ramos (Photos)

Rhian Ramos had her pictorial yesterday with the major characters of The Richman's Daughter. Check out photos below to have a grasp of what Rhian Ramos is experiencing as  Jade.

Rhian Ramos is turning out to be a fair choice. This soap could be her comeback vehicle to lead role since after the Mo show she has not played a lead status.

Rhian Ramos is The Richman's Daughter 2.0, Headwriter Asks Support

It is official. The new 'Jade' replacing Marian Rivera in her role in The Richman's Daughter is none other than Rhian Ramos.

In a statement released via Philippine Entertainment Portal, Ramos expressed her gratitude towards GMA Network for trusting her yet again.

"Nagpapasalamat po sa GMA sa tiwalang binigay sa akin na ganapan ang role na JADE sa teleseryeng THE RICHMAN'S DAUGHTER. I look forward to the challenge of portraying the character.
My very best wishes and congratulations to Ate Marian Rivera Dantes! I wish her a happy, comfortable, and safe pregnancy."

Fair Game of Replacements
If you remember in 2012, Marian Rivera also had to replace Ramos for her role in My Beloved, the soap opera that featured Dingdong Dantes as a fallen angel. That was during the trying time of Ramos in her plight against Mo Twister.

That soap which had major replacement didn't do so well despite good promotion. We hope that the case of The Richman's Daughter will be different.

Kapuso fans hope that despite the major replacement, the lesbian-themed soap opera will still manage to become phenomenal.

Update: Headwriter asks for Support
Meanwhile, the headwriter of the said soap has just posted a tweet signifying that the project is really pushing through.

In her Facebook account, she also asks support from fans of Marian Rivera.
