Romance shines at its brightest in the highly anticipated series adaptation of ‘Avenues of the Diamond,’ the fourth installment in Gwy Saludes’ hit Wattpad saga ‘University Series,’ premiering on Viva One on April 11, 2025.
Following the success of ‘The Rain in España,’ ‘Safe Skies, Archer,’ and ‘Chasing in the Wild,’ this new chapter proves that even the roughest edges of hate can shimmer into love.
Aubrey Caraan reprises her role as Samantha, a Communication student from Ateneo de Manila University known for her kindness and easygoing nature. But behind her friendly demeanor is a girl who has never truly let anyone in. Desperate to break free from her toxic and overbearing family, she agrees to an arranged marriage with Clyden—her only ticket to independence.
Opposite Caraan is Lance Carr as Clyden, a sharp-witted and principled Medicine student from University of the Philippines who has always obeyed his parents’ wishes, even when they dictate his future. However, he has no intention of truly going through with the arrangement, especially not with someone like Sam—the daughter of a corrupt man he has no respect for.
Their relationship begins with undeniable animosity. When they are forced to live under one roof before their wedding, their differences make it clear that they are a terrible match.
But as time goes by, they gradually grow closer until they inevitably fall for each other. What was once just a mere arrangement turns into a love they never saw coming.
However, love is never simple. Family problems and personal ambitions test their relationship, forcing them to make difficult choices.
As life takes them in different directions and success finds them both, one question remains—will they choose to fight for love?
Adding even more sparkle to the series is the one and only Claudine Barretto— the multi-awarded “Optimum Star” whose multiple Best Actress wins and Box Office Queen trophies have solidified her status as one of the most celebrated actresses in the Philippine entertainment industry. She stars alongside seasoned actor Bobby Andrews as Sam’s parents, while Abby Bautista takes on the role of Naomi, Sam’s half-sister.
Gino Santos, who directed the second installment ‘Safe Skies, Archer,’ returns to helm ‘Avenues of the Diamond,’ adding another unforgettable chapter in the ‘University Series.’
“With this one, we will stay true to the book pero hindi mawawala ’yong cinematic pa rin and lalabas natin ’yong pagkakilig,” Direk Gino promised the fans during an interview.
