- This might be a lucky year for Kapuso actress Jennylyn Mercado as she enjoys a steady flow of projects.
- The actress has been dubbed as the romcom queen for her current hit series Love You Two with Gabby Concepcion.
Apart from this, Mercado has been cast as one of the lead stars of the Philippine adaptation of the Korean drama Descendants of the Sun (DOTS) where Dingdong Dantes is set to play the male lead role.
According to Jojo Gabinete of Pilipino Star Ngayon, Jennylyn Mercado will be playing the Dr. Kang Mo Yeon character and Dingdong, the Captain Yoo Si Jin role. Shooting begins in June.
On May 10, 2019, GMA Network’s YouTube channel released a teaser of the hosts and judges of StarStruck, the original Kapuso reality artista search. Dingdong and Jennylyn will be the hosts with Cherie Gil, Heart Evangelista, and Jose Manalo as the judges.
While Jennylyn’s schedule seems to be packed with her shows, how about the other Kapuso artists? This has been a frequently asked question by fans who are concerned other artists like Rhian Ramos, Lovi Poe, and Carla Abellana have not been seen on television lately.
Carla Abellana was last seen in a guest appearance on Sunday Pinasaya and her last television series Pamilya Roces which premiered on October 8, 2018 and lasted only until December 14, 2018.
Her last film was No Boyfriend Since Birth released in 2015 which was criticized by the audiences for its “wordy” nature.
Lovi Poe has been noticeably absent on TV after her romantic comedy series The One That Got Away, which aired on January 15, 2018 until May 18, 2018, ended. In her recent social media updates, Poe is apparently enjoying a relaxing vacation in U.S.
Rhian Ramos is on a six-month stay in New York City. Along with Poe, she also starred the series The One That Got Away.
