GMA's Problem: The Network Is Bad And Marian Is Getting Married

One of the biggest and most accurate critism towards GMA Network throughout the past years is its failure to establish new top level talents and move on to a new era of younger stars. 2014 is ending and Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes are still the lone two stars pulling their wagon, with distinct lack of fresh talents ready to take their place.

Marian is without a doubt the biggest star GMA has produced since Angel Locsin, but she's also the network's biggest liability. She'd been the Queen of the Kapuso Network for the last eight years, in fact they made her so big that they made sure nobody else goes on top beyond of her.

Marian is like a huge rock GMA had put on their yard, you can't mow over it so, you just have to mow around it.

Remember the days when GMA was the top tv network? Its because Angel Locsin and Richard Gutierrez were the fresh faces on televison and viewers were just fed up of the same old soap princesses over their rival network.

But GMA did the same mistake with its over reliance on Marian's star power. Marian is phenomenal and righfully took Angel's place, but she's not always 22 years old and GMA has not always been in the cellar. The lack of top tier talents made the network stale and drove alot of viewers who wanted something fresh away.

Well, its not as its Marian's fault, its not that she woke up one day and decided that she's going to sit atop of GMA for as long as she wants.

Uncreativity, wrong talent assessment, inconsistencies in decission making and even politics in the system that plagued the network through the years were of course some of the blamed reasons why GMA failed to make a transition to the next generation of stars.

The younger version of Marian was Marimar and Dyesebel and she's just fun to watch. But Marian is now 30, she's about to become a housewife and the network is bad. Its not fun anymore.

7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation

Image
Change is constant, sometimes it's for the better but sometimes it's for the worse, but for GMA Network at times it's something they thought it's for the better only to end up ruining what is great. When people know what they're doing it's better to just leave them alone, however GMA is notorious for messing up with what their viewers enjoy, cause they believe they know better. You would think they're always trying to blow themselves up on purpose, like someone in there saying "Let's see how bad we can mess this up." Here are 7 Times GMA Ruined Their Own Creation".

Maging Sino Ka Man Failing In The Rating Race

Image
GMA's new Primetime Teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man has not been so impressive in terms of ratings, it's just the third most-watched show on primetime in its debut week and not even the most-watched GMA primetime program, that honor goes to 24Oras while ABS-CBN's Batang Quiapo is now the undisputed number 1 weekday show after Voltes V legacy ended. What is even more alarming is that the ratings trend for MSKM is on a downward trajectory while Batang Quiapo is having a surge. MagingSinoKaMan's rating is just too low for its timeslot, it got bumped by Royal Blood and even by the afternoon show Abot Kamay Na Pangarap out of the top 3 daily programs. While some may say that it's still in the top 5 programs this is still disappointing considering its stars Barbie Forteza and David Licauco were fresh out of the successful Maria Clara at Ibarra and were highly touted for the show's success and were named the breakout loveteam. With the series being said to be limite

I Was Right About Louise Delos Reyes

Image
I have always been skeptical about the huge push GMA handed to Louise Delos Reyes. From the start I've been firm and very vocal in my opinion that she's a hardsell as a leading lady, much more as the Network's top star. After a not so successful youth oriented series on TV5, Louise returned to GMA as an impromptu onscreen partner to Elmo Magalona in Pilyang Kerubin, and later as one of the casts of Tween Hearts, but only for very short stint as she was immediately elevated to leadstar status to play the title role in Alakdana and since starred in several primetime dramas, including the drowned Kambal Sirena. Fast forward today, GMA's Next Most Important Leading Lady has found herself suddenly below the level of importance. She'd been out of big projects for quite some time now and just doing forgettable guestings, she's even rendered invisible in the overcrowded Sunday AllStars that is also lowering its curtains soon. It was said that Louise will be part of
