The long-running sitcom ‘Open 24/7’ produced by M-Zet Productions and GMA Network, starring Maja Salvador, Jose Manalo, and Vic Sotto, concluded its final episode on May 25, 2024.
This wraps up a successful year on air despite earlier speculations about its end due to the impending move of the TVJ trio (Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, and Joey de Leon) to TV5.
This series marks Vic Sotto’s final project with GMA Network, where he enjoyed a prolific 27-year career producing and starring in beloved sitcoms. Sotto’s journey with GMA Network began when he transferred ‘Okay Ka, Fairy Ko’ from ABS-CBN in 1995. His tenure included a series of hit shows:
- ‘Okay Ka, Fairy Ko’ (1995-1997)
- ‘1 For 3’ (1997) with Ai-Ai delas Alas and Rosanna Roces
- ‘Daddy Di Do Du’ (2001) with Maxene Magalona and Danica Sotto
- ‘Ful Haus’ (2007) with Pia Guanio
- ‘Vampire Ang Daddy Ko’ (2013) with Oyo Boy Sotto
- ‘Hay Bahay’ (2016) with Ai-Ai, Oyo, Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Kristine Hermosa
- ‘Bossing and Ai’ (2017)
- ‘Daddy’s Gurl’ with Maine Mendoza
Vic Sotto’s remarkable run with GMA Network sitcoms underscores his enduring appeal and versatility as an actor and producer.
Currently, Vic Sotto is continuing his comedy legacy with a sitcom on NET25 and is preparing to launch a new sitcom on TV5, bringing his trademark humor to a fresh audience.
