La Vendetta
Fresh from the laudable success of Impostora, the primetime TV hit that showcased the impressive capability of GMA Network in the drama genre, comes the newest primetime offering from the Kapuso Network – the first ever suspense drama on primetime TV, La Vendetta.
La Vendetta presents a riveting story of love, deceit and vengeance that features a powerhouse cast of today’s highly commendable dramatic actors. Led by the remarkable threesome of Jean Garcia, Jennylyn Mercado, and Sunshine Dizon in challenging roles as sisters who find themselves entangled in a vicious web of mystery in which one of them meets a tragic death. Betrayed and denied a blissful life with the man she truly loves, the dead sister’s soul is driven by a harrowing hatred that surmounts even the afterlife. As a vengeful ghost, she will stop at nothing in her quest to torment her murderer and bring justice to her own death.
Who among the three sisters becomes the hapless victim of a ruthless crime? Is it the strong-willed Amanda (Jean Garcia), the eldest one who manipulates the lives of her sisters? Is it Amanda’s stepsister Eloisa (Sunshine Dizon) who, despite her apparent weakness, also harbors a mysterious persona? Or will it be Almira (Jennylyn Mercado), the youngest sister who is torn between her love for both her elder siblings and the one who is most affected by Amanda’s assertive and controlling nature?
La Vendetta boasts of a compelling plot that will not only keep viewers hooked to its captivating story but will also keep everyone involved in the guesswork behind the mysterious death of one of the three sisters.
Jennylyn Mercado is reunited with erstwhile reel and real life partner Mark Herras, who plays the role of Galo, the impoverished lover of Almira who is willing to do anything to fight for his beloved. However, Amanda opposes Almira and Galo’s relationship and forces Almira to marry the rich Gabby Trajano (Polo Ravales) instead.
Completing La Vendetta’s stellar lineup are Luis Alandy as Ariel, Amanda’s boyfriend who shows concern fro Eloisa; Paolo Contis as Junjun, the ambitious family gardener; Chynna Ortaleza as Joana, Galo’s sister; Lotlot De Leon as Rodora, the family cook; Rustom Padilla as Alfie, Amanda’s gay friend; Dante Rivero as Edwin Cardinale, Amanda and Almira’s father and Eloisa’s stepfather; Snooky Serna as Janet, Edwin’s second wife and the mother of Eloisa and Almira; Caridad Sanchez as Nana Mildred, the trusted nanny of the house and keeper of the Cardinale family’s darkest secret; and Wendell Ramos as Rigo, a psychiatrist who falls in love with Amanda. La Vendetta also stars Angelica Jones, Ella Guevara, Ynna Asistio, and Joseph Marco.
Directed by Gil Tejada Jr. and Lore Reyes, La Vendetta airs weeknights starting October 29 in GMA’s top-rated primetime Telebabad block.
