ABS-CBN Entertainment officially introduced prime Kapamilya actress Jodi Sta. Maria as the lead star in the Philippine adaptation of BBC Studios' "Doctor Foster" which will be tentatively titled "The Broken Marriage Vow". Jodi, whose career is marked by compelling performances and highly acclaimed roles across various genres, takes on another iconic character as Dr. Jill Ilustre, the Filipina counterpart of Dr. Gemma Foster. A loving wife and mother with an accomplished medical career, Jill begins to see cracks in her picture-perfect life when she discovers that her husband is having an affair with a younger woman.
Playing opposite Jodi is Zanjoe Marudo, one of the most versatile actors in local film and television in today's generation, who will be portraying the Pinoy Simon Foster known as David Ilustre. He may be acting like the perfect husband and father, but David is hiding a secret with her wife - an affair that will eventually change their family forever. The marriage-wrecking mistress entangling in the domestic mess will be played by Sue Ramirez who will be the Pinay Kate Parks known as Lexy Lucero. Lexy is a younger, sexy and wealthy woman who is used to getting what she wants and will not settle for less in love, even if it is a married man.
Completing the main cast of "The Broken Marriage Vow" which was unveiled during "The Doctor Is In" live online event last May 6th is Zaijian Jaranilla who will be filling the role of Gio Ilustre, the Filipino Tom Foster. The only son of Jill and David, Gio fells victim to his parents' emotional tug-of-war. Bringing this extraordinary story to life is one of the most prolific female directors working in the country today, Concepcion "Connie" Macatuno, whose body of work is known for her emphasis on empowered Filipino women. Direk Connie brings her expertise and experience in "The Broken Marriage Vow", the story of a woman who, in the face of betrayal, finds strength and courage to protect what she loves.
"The Broken Marriage Vow" is the sixth local adaptation of the hit British drama series "Doctor Foster" following its adaptations in France, Russia, Turkey, India and South Korea in which "The World Of The Married Couple" became the highest-rating drama series in Philippine pay TV history. Produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, "The Broken Marriage Vow" will be shown soon on linear and digital platforms where ABS-CBN shows are available.
