TVJ’s noontime show ‘E.A.T’ has dropped hints about the possibility of reviving the beloved ‘Kalyeserye,’ a segment that rose to fame on the long-standing program ‘Eat Bulaga’ back in 2015.
In a recent Facebook post, ‘E.A.T’ introduced a new character named ‘Lola Belen,’ portrayed by the versatile Wally Bayola, who gained recognition for his portrayal of ‘Lola Nidora’ during the original ‘Kalyeserye.’
The teaser strongly suggests that Atasha Mulach may assume the role of Lola Belen’s grandchild, reminiscent of the original storyline that captivated audiences on ‘Eat Bulaga.’
For those who need a refresher, ‘Kalyeserye’ became a cultural phenomenon and launched the careers of Maine Mendoza and Alden Richards into superstardom.
Wally Bayola’s own career underwent a revival thanks to the segment after he found himself embroiled in controversy following the circulation of a video featuring him with an EB Babe dancer.
Fans of ‘E.A.T’ couldn’t contain their excitement and expressed their optimism for the potential ‘Kalyeserye’ revival. They are hoping that TVJ Productions, the team behind ‘E.A.T,’ will make a triumphant return to the spotlight with this new venture.
Some fans have even speculated about the possible participation of Maine Mendoza in the new segment, although no official announcements have been made on that front.
However, it’s important to note that the trademark for ‘Kalyeserye’ is currently owned by Television and Production Exponents (TAPE) Inc., which raises potential legal considerations in any attempt to recreate it.
Critics have questioned whether ‘E.A.T’ can capture the lightning in a bottle that ‘Kalyeserye’ represented, but only time will reveal the outcome. ‘E.A.T’ continues to hold a prominent position in the realm of noontime television.
As of the time of writing, TVJ Productions has not disclosed an exact launch date for their new segment, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more details.
