The picture-perfect couple Rodel and Fina are young, good-looking, rich. The couple couldn't wish for anything more since they simingly have everything anyone could ever want. With one exception. Both Rodel and Fina are eager to start a family; unfortunately for them, it's an impossibility as Fina's medical condition prohibits her from bearing children. When they hear rumors about a certain babymaker, who happens to be Ditas, the couple sees an opportunity to finally fill the void in their lives. | | Director | Wenn Deramas and Andoy Ranay | | Cast | Kristine Hermosa, Diether Ocampo, Rica Peralejo | | Original Movie Cast | Vilma Santos, Edu Manzano and Dina Bonnevie | | Air-date | April 23, 2007 – June 1, 2007 | | English Title | Borrowed Face | | Synopsis | Famous plastic surgeon Dr. Hugo worships the ground his fiancée Alicia walks on. That is because he feels Alicia is his creation. From a monstrous carnival freak attraction, he has transformed her into a beautiful and glamorous woman. However, Alicia learns that beauty is not everything and she finds it hard to discern if people like her for herself or for her material wealth and beauty. She yearns to return to her former self, the ugly, monkey-faced Carissa because back then she was sure that people liked her for who she was and not due to her appearance. One such person was her former neighbour and lover, Mendez. Later on it is revealed that Mendez is, in fact, Dr. Hugo's grandson, and thus the former lovers take up where they have let off and plan a scam to get Dr. Hugo's money. The plan is that Alicia will wed Dr. Hugo and get him to transfer his properties under her name. Mendez will then kill his grandfather and then the lovers will live happily ever after. That is, if the doctor does not have a plan of his own- possibly as diabolical as their own. | | Director | Eric Salud and Trina Dayrit | | Cast | Heart Evangelista, Geoff Eigenmann, TJ Trinidad | | Original Movie Cast | Nanette Medved, Cesar Montano, and Christopher De Leon | | Air-date | June 4, 2007 – July 13, 2007 | | English Title | Loving Someone | | Synopsis | Monica grew up in a male-dominated household.

Instead, Gillian becomes more closely attached to Andrew's parents and Andrew feels drawn to Gillian's parents, Bernardo and Patria. Little do they suspect that this is because Andrew and Gillian had been switched at birth. Andrew's real father, Bernardo, a poor private driver, decides that Andrew will have a better life growing up with his rich bosses. So he makes sure that only he and his wife Patria know that he has switched the two babies when the mothers both gave birth at a provincial hospital. No amount of pleading from Patria can make him change his mind. Out of frustration, Patria resorts to maltreating Gillian. The latter finds comfort with Andrew's mother, Rose, and later with Mark, a rich suitor. Jealous of Gillian's new found attention, Andrew decides to force himself on Gillian, an act which leads to the revelation of the secret of their parentage. | | Director | Jerry Lopez Sineneng and Rechie Del Carmen | | Cast | Roxanne Guinoo, Jake Cuenca and Joross Gamboa with Dina Bonnevie | | Original Movie Cast | Lorna Tolentino, Ricky Davao and Gary Valenciano | Season Two: The Susan Roces Cinema Collection | Air-date | January 7, 2008 – January 25, 2008 | | English Title | Kill Barbara in Fright | | Synopsis | All their lives, Barbara always gave way to her younger half-sister Ruth so she would be accepted by her new family.
