The afternoons of viewers will be filled with love, values, and inspiration as the newest series “Abot Kamay Na Pangarap” starting this week on GMA.
“Abot Kamay Na Pangarap” is headlined by Carmina Villarroel as Lyneth and Richard Yap as Dr. Robert. All set to showcase her range and versatility is highly-talented Jillian Ward as Analyn.
Carmina teases the audience about their very interesting show, “Isa na naman ito sa mga una ng GMA dahil may medical aspect siya, so it’s something new. Hindi rin mawawala siyempre ‘yung kwento ng pagmamahal ng isang ina sa kanyang anak. Hindi siya hardcore drama pero tagos talaga sa puso and it will talk about hope.”
Richard considers his new character as a dream-come-true, “I took up pre-medicine in college pero hindi ako tumuloy kasi ayaw ng father ko. Since hindi ako naging doktor, I might as well just play one. Completely different din ang genre nito for me. It’s about family, love and career. You’ll see a different Richard Yap here.”
Meanwhile, Jillian admits that this is by far her most challenging role, “Priceless talaga ‘yung experiences ko rito. Tinuruan kami ng live brain surgery as part of our immersion. Kaya mas lalong tumaas ang respect ko sa mga doktor. Sa totoo lang kinakabahan ako, but I’m very grateful and excited.”
Joining the star-studded cast are Dominic Ochoa as Michael, the caring boss of Lyneth who has secret feelings for her; Pinky Amador as Moira, Robert’s domineering wife; Andre Paras as Dr. Luke, a junior neurosurgery resident who is kind and motivating to Analyn; Chuckie Dreyfus as Dr. Ray, a close friend and voice of reason of Dr. Robert; Sophie Albert as Hazel, the insecure and spiteful girlfriend of Michael; Denise Barbacena as Dr. Eula, a smart and bubbly general neurosurgery resident who will become Analyn’s friend; Wilma Doesnt as Josa, the funny best friend of Lyneth; Ariel Villasanta as Cromwell, the loving husband of Josa who treats Analyn and Lyneth as his own family; Dexter Doria as Susan, the wicked stepmother of Lyneth; Kazel Kinouchi as Dr. Zoey, the beautiful and competitive only child of Robert and Moira who will be Analyn’s rival in the hospital; Jeff Moses as Regan, a janitor who will become Analyn’s friend in the hospital; Alexandra Mendez as Jhoanne, the supportive classmate/colleague of Analyn; John Vic De Guzman as Dr. Ken, a junior resident of general neurosurgery who doubts the skills of Analyn; and with the special participation of Heart Ramos as young Analyn.
The afternoon series follows the story of an illiterate mother, Lyneth (Carmina) and her genius daughter, Analyn (Jillian). They go through hardships together while hoping that someday, they would reach their dreams and share each other’s triumphs.
“Abot Kamay Na Pangarap” is under the helm of LA Madridejos.
