Marian Rivera is no longer pushing through with the GMA Network’s upcoming teleserye “The Rich Man’s Daughter” which tackles about lesbian romance. In a statement sent to media outfits on Friday, the Kapuso network said Marian withdrew from the show because of her “delicate condition.”
In ‘The Rich Man’s Daughter’, Marian will supposedly portray Jade Tanchingco, an heiress from a very wealthy Filipino-Chinese family. Marian did not hesitate to accept the role and sees it as a very challenging one because eventually Jade will fall in love not with a man, but with a woman. Glaiza de Castro will be Marian’s female love interest in the said series while Luis Alandy is cast as the male love interest.
GMA Network’s official statement on Marian Rivera:
Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera has withdrawn from her upcoming program The Rich Man’s Daughter and her Pinoy TV guestings abroad due to her delicate condition.
GMA Network fully supports Marian’s decision and strongly believes that Marian and her baby’s safety is first and foremost.
We would like to assure her supporters that Marian will still be seen in various shows in the Kapuso Network. We pray for a healthy and happy pregnancy for our dear Marian.
Who do you think among the Kapuso stable of talents can replace the role of Marian in “The Richman’s Daughter?”
