Am I The Only One?:Thoughts On Julie Anne San Jose, Sunday AllStars And More

As I reflect to the happenings around GMA programing this week, I wonder, Am I The Only One Who. . .

. . . wishes Julie Anne San Jose is more than a second tier character in Buena Familia? As its teaser suggests, Kylie Padilla is obviously the main protagonist who will be hogging the spotlight, that will probably leave Julie in 2nd unit storylines. I have nothing against Kylie but it would certainly be a regress for Julie who has captured more achievements than any GMA youngstars over the last year-plus. In all fairness, GMAAC has done a better job lately pushing Julie as one of GMA's top stars however, Lilybeth Rasonable and her team of (un)creatives never supported it. Julie is not a bottom feeder like Mayton Eugenio or Ryza Cenon but she's also not being viewed as a top tier by the Entertainment Department either. She never really had true lead roles and just lumping into tales of talents the network chooses to build up more than her.

. . . finds it ridiculous that GMA wasted time publishing press release about an InstaDad viewer sending appreciation letter to Felipe Gozon knowing the show is about to get axe already? I guess the letter never reached the chairman in time?

. . . notices GMA is becoming a home of washed out ABS-CBN talents? Stars such as Ai Ai Delas Alas, Heart Evangelista, Megan Young, Lauren Young, Martin Del Rosario, Tom Rodriguez, Kiko Estrada, Iya Villania and yes, Willie Revillame are all getting more prominent spots on the network than homegrown talents. Whatever happened to their talent development?

. . . finds it unfair that lower tier talents from ABS-CBN are often turned instant top stars on GMA while it takes forever for some homegrown Kapuso Stars to have their breaks.

. . . was outraged by the long meaningless and unfunny comedy prod on Sunday AllStars?

. . . believes the singers saved what is otherwise another terrible Sunday AllStars episode.

. . . thinks Regine Velasquez Alcasid's interpretation of Tina Arena's Burn on SAS was already a swan song? It is said corfirmed that the songbird turned down the replacement show for SAS

. . . Believes GMA blew their chances to build up Gabbi Garcia and Ruru Madrid as a top loveteam? Let The Love Begin would've been their stepping stone, but what is supposed to be a romantic teen lovestory (like its movie inspiration), was turned into an astrocious melo-drama highlighted by a lunatic Donita Rose gunshooting everywhere like Elmer Fudge. And its far too little too late when they finally decided to pair the two on the sunsetting InstaDad . Now Im curious to see where Gabbi goes from here considering she's being viewed as the next big thing a few months ago.

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".

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

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
