Jodi Sta. Maria is the lead star in the Filipino remake of BBC’s global hit “Doctor Foster,” which will be known locally by its title “The Broken Marriage Vow,” ABS-CBN Entertainment unveiled in a live online event called “The Doctor Is In” last Friday, May 7.
Jodi takes on another iconic character as Dra. Jill Ilustre, the Filipina counterpart of Gemma Foster. Playing opposite Jodi is Zanjoe Marudo, who will be portraying David Ilustre. He may be acting like the perfect husband and father, but David is hiding a secret life from her wife — an affair that will change their family forever.
The marriage-wrecking mistress entangled in this domestic mess will be played by Sue Ramirez, who will be starring as Lexy Lucero.
Completing the main cast of “The Broken Marriage Vow” is Zaijian Jaranilla, who will be filling the role of Gio Ilustre, the only son of Jill and David
Bringing this extraordinary story to life is one of the most prolific female directors working in the country today, Concepcion Macatuno.
“The Broken Marriage Vow” is the sixth local adaptation of “Doctor Foster” following its adaptations in France, Russia, Turkey, India, and South Korea, whose “The World of the Married” would become the country’s highest rated cable TV drama.
