80s Idols’ Manilyn Reynes, Tina Paner, Sheryl Cruz and Kempee De Leon reunite in GMA’s Meant To Be
This 2017, GMA Network is all set to captivate viewers’ hearts with the romantic drama Meant To Be topbilled by Kapuso star Barbie Forteza with her four leading men Ivan Dorschner, Addy Raj with Jak Roberto and Ken Chan. Aside from their fresh team up, Kapuso viewers are also looking forward to the much-awaited reunion of the popular group the Triplets - Manilyn Reynes, Sheryl Cruz, Tina Paner - with Keempee de Leon in this primetime soap.
After 30 years, the Triplets join forces to add star power to GMA’s opening salvo for next year. Manilyn, Sheryl and Tina are all equally excited to work with each other and with the rest of the cast members.
They promised that this reunion project will be loved by their fans and will make them happy. "Sa social media, they are really looking forward to watching us,” Manilyn said in an interview.
In the early 2000s, they got separated because Sheryl decided to lie-low in her showbiz career and lived in the United States while Tina stayed in Spain.
Even though they’ve been apart, they are still close to each other. "Hindi pa rin naputol 'yung friendship namin. And your friends will always remain friends lalo na kapag nasa loob ng puso niyo ang bawat isa,” said Sheryl.
The actresses are really thankful to GMA Network for bringing them together to star in this drama series. "I was just hoping and praying na sana one day 'yung Triplets mabuo. Thank you to GMA for this opportunity, "Tina said.
In the series, Manilyn plays the role of Amelia, Billie’s mother (Barbie) and twin sister of Suzy (Tina) who works as a municipal clerk. Because of a misunderstanding with husband Wilton (Keempee De Leon), she will bravely raise her children on her own.
Tina is Suzy the mean and pushy mother of Mariko (Mika Dela Cruz) and Amelia’s fraternal twin. Since they were young, she has always been jealous of Amelia which made her hate her and her niece, Billie.
Meanwhile, Sheryl plays as Ethan’s (Ivan) driven and goal-oriented mother, Beatriz. She works as an assistant in a lifestyle magazine based in London but returns to the Philippines to head her own publication.
Amelia, Lucy and Beatriz were best of friends during college and a trio singing group back then. Unfortunately, their group disbanded and they took different paths in their lives.
Kempee plays a vital role as Amelia’s husband, Wilton, the cool and naughty father of Billie. After his separation with Amelia, he changed himself and became responsible until a big problem came his way.
Will Amelia and Wilton get back together? Or will things just get worst? How are these characters going to affect the story of Billie and her handsome princes: Ethan, Jai, Macoy and Yuan?
Know their stories and catch Amelia, Lucy, Beatriz and Wilton in Meant To Be soon on GMA Telebabad.
