- Derek Ramsay and Andrea Torres star in the newest GMA Network series The Better Woman
- Sadly, the pilot episode failed to win against its counterpart The General’s Daughter in terms of ratings
- In spite of that, netizens appreciated the series and its cast
Derek Ramsay is now back on TV and is top-billing his first ever series on GMA Network titled The Better Woman along with leading lady Andrea Torres.
The show premiered on July 1, Monday, on the network’s Telebabad line up taking over the time slot of Sahaya.
The hunky actor’s transfer from TV5 to GMA Network made noise on social media since it was expected that he would go back to his first network which is ABS-CBN but he disproved this speculation.
His fans were also rooting for his comeback series on Primetime TV. Sad to say, the pilot episode of the series did not prevail over its counterpart The General’s Daughter in the ratings game.
Still, netizens still appreciated the series and its cast’s acting skills, especially Andrea Torres’.

In terms of TV ratings, the pilot episode of ‘The Better Woman’ got a very low rating on two TV ratings providers – Kantar Media and NUTAM. Last Monday (July 1), ‘The General’s Daughter’ won its timeslot, registering 30.3%, versus new rival ‘The Better Woman’s’ 14.0%. The newest Kapuso series also registered a single-digit rating of 9.8% versus ‘The General Daughter’s’ 11.5%.
The new drama series features Andrea in a dual role as Jasmine and Juliet/Elaine while Derek is Andrew, a surf resort owner of La Union happily married to Jasmine.
The couple enjoyed their almost perfect love story until Juliet/Elaine, the long lost twin sister of Jasmine, meddled with the couples’ life.
Juliet/ Ellaine parted with her sister when their mother Erlinda handed her to another family leading her to live her life as an exotic pole dancer. Years later, Juliet/Elaine reunited with Jasmine and had a forbidden affair with her husband, Andrew.
