Despite people making fun of her because of her looks, Mariposa will still have a cheerful and optimistic disposition. However, her life will change when she transforms into a beautiful Paroa.
Meanwhile, Inigo (Derrick) will grow up hating the Paroas because her mother Rosanna (Alicia) told him that his father died because of them. He will be Mariposa’s high school classmate. He has a bad-boy image and always gets kicked out from school that’s why he is still in his sophomore year. Inigo and Mariposa will be friends but because of peer pressure he will also mock and make fun of Mariposa.

John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo Show How to Choose Between Love and Loyalty in "A Beautiful Affair"
John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo Show How to Choose Between Love and Loyalty in "A Beautiful Affair"
Ten years after their successful debut on primetime television, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo reunite in a mature love story that tackles the dilemma of choosing between love and loyalty in A Beautiful Affair which premieres on October 29 on ABS-CBN’s Primetime Bida.
Spicing up this sweeping romantic teleserye is actor John Estrada, who stars in his biggest drama series to date. The much-awaited series is one of the highlights of the tenth anniversary celebration of the most successful team of their generation.
Follow the love story of three people who will each face the toughest obstacles in a relationship and will be forced to make a choice between steadfast loyalty and passionate love.
Leon Riego (John Lloyd), a brilliant architect and Gen Saavedra (Bea), an heiress, first meet in Austria as two broken souls. Their mutual attraction will temporarily unburden them of their respective miseries – Leon from the guilt brought by the death of his adoptive mother, and Gen who is trying to move on from the betrayal of a former lover.
Together, they wind up spending the time of their lives by getting on a romantic escapade to Vienna and Salzburg. In each other’s pains they find strength, and in each other’s bitterness they find love.
Despite the undeniable attraction between them, they decide to part ways and fix their lives before choosing to love again.
They meet after a year but, to Leon’s surprise, Gen is already in a relationship with construction magnate Edward (John Estrada) who has been an important figure in his life since childhood and has helped him achieve his dream of becoming an architect.
How will Edward deal with the knowledge of Gen’s encounter with Leon in the past? Who between the two men will Gen really choose? Which will carry more weight for Leon – his love for Gen which he believes will mend his shattered soul or his loyalty to Edward brought by debt of gratitude?
A Beautiful Affair takes full circle with the return of the people who first brought John Lloyd and Bea’s love team to the small screen - now business unit head Laurenti Dyogi and now director Katrina Flores. Dyogi was the director of the love team’s first teleserye, the highly acclaimed and top-rating Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay, while Flores was the headwriter.
Part of the A Beautiful Affair cast are excellent actors Dimples Romana, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Maritoni Fernandez, Ana Roces, Janus del Prado, and Megan Young together with Jim Paredes and PBB Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young who will appear in their first-ever teleserye.

TAMBALANG JOHN LLOYD – BEA, MAGBABALIK-TELEBISYON SA ‘A BEAUTIFUL AFFAIR’
Sampung taon mula nang ilunsad ang kanilang love team sa telebisyon, muling paiibigin nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo ang sambayanan sa inaabangang romantic teleserye na A Beautiful Affair na magsisimula na sa Oktubre 29 sa ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.
Bilang isang engrandeng handog sa pagdiriwang ng ikasampung anibersaryo ng pinakamatagumpay na loveteam ng kanilang henerasyon, muling magtatambal sina John Lloyd at Bea kasama ang premyadong aktor na si John Estrada sa kanyang pinakamalaking role sa isang drama project sa telebisyon.
Sundan ang kwento ng pag-ibig sa pagitan ng tatlong taong susuungin ang isang malaking pagsubok sa kanilang relasyon: Alin ba ang mas matibay na pundasyon—ang tapat na pagsasama o ang tunay na pagmamahal?
Unang magkakakilala ang arkitektong si Leon (John Lloyd) at ang herederang si Gen (Bea) sa Austria at agad na mahuhulog ang loob nila sa isa’t isa para takasan ang dala-dala nilang kasawian – si Leon mula sa kalungkutan ng pagkamatay ng kanyang kinagisnang ina, at si Gen sa pait ng pagtataksil ng dating karelasyon.
Doo’y lilibutin nila ang Vienna at Salzburg at pilit na hihilumin ang mga sugatang puso. Ngunit sa kabila ng hindi maitatangging pagtitinginan ng dalawa ay magdedesisyon silang maghiwalay ng landas at ayusin ang kanya-kanyang buhay bago umibig muli.
Muling pagtatagpuin ang kanilang landas makalipas ng isang taon ngunit mapapag-alaman ni Leon na kasintahan na ni Gen ang matagumpay na negosyanteng si Edward (John Estrada), ang taong tumulong sa kanya mula pagkabata at nagsanay sa kanya para maabot ang pangarap na maging arkitekto.
Paano tatanggapin ni Edward pag nalaman niyang may naging ugnayan sa nakaraan si Gen kay Leon? Sino ang talagang pipiliin ni Gen sa dalawa? Alin naman ang magiging mas matimbang para kay Leon – ang pag-ibig niya kay Gen na sa tingin niya’y makakapagbigay sa kanya ng tunay na kaligayahan o ang katapatan niya kay Edward dala ng utang na loob?
Maituturing na isang “full–circle project” ang A Beautiful Affair dahil sa muling pagsasama ng mga taong bumuo sa tambalang John Lloyd-Bea sa kanilang unang Kapamilya teleserye, ang top-rating na Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay – ang business unit head na si Laurenti Dyogi na dating direktor ng naturang serye, at ang direktor na si Katrina Flores na dati’y nagsilbing headwriter nito.
Binubuo rin ang cast ng A Beautiful Affair ng mahuhusay na artistang sina Dimples Romana, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Maritoni Fernandez, Ana Roces, Janus del Prado, at Megan Young kasama sina Jim Paredes at PBB Unlimited Big Winner Slater Young sa kanilang kauna-unahang teleserye.

Barbie Forteza, Joshua Dionisio wala ng komunikasyon sa isa’t-isa
Ayon kay Barbie, marahil ay abala rin si Joshua sa kaniyang pag-aaral lalo na at kasalukuyan itong nasa fourth year high school. Hindi naman daw nagkaroon ng pagkakataon si Joshua Dionisio na makapagpaalam kay Barbie Forteza sa panandalian nitong pag-alis sa showbiz. Hindi na raw nila ito masyadong pinag-usapan dahil hindi naman daw ito big deal para sa kanila. Aminado si Barbie na ayaw niyang magpaalam kay Joshua dahil gusto niya pa rin na bumalik ang binata sa showbiz matapos ang kaniyang pag-aaral.

Daniel Craig Plays His Best James Bond Role Ever in ‘Skyfall’
Daniel Craig Plays His Best James Bond Role Ever in ‘Skyfall’
Daniel Craig leads the cast of Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ “Skyfall,” his third film as James Bond 007. “Bond is actually remarkably difficult part to play, because he says very little, and the moment you make him say too much, it’s not Bond anymore,” says Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes.
“He operates on instinct a lot of the time. He has his own inner demons and he doesn’t reveal them to other characters, and yet the audience needs to be aware of them, especially in this particular movie,” Mendes adds. “In `Skyfall,’ the audience has got to see him, in a sense, fall apart and put himself back together again, but none of the other characters see what’s really going on behind the curtain. Daniel’s done that, I think, brilliantly.”
It was Craig who invited his friend, Mendes, to direct “Skyfall.” “When we started talking about it, I felt a connection with someone who had exactly the same enthusiasm and respect for the Bond films that I did,” says Craig. “And, of course, I deeply respect Sam as a director. I said to him, ‘This is going to be a new experience for you – trust me, because I made two of them and it was a very new experience for me. Nothing can quite prepare you.’”
“Daniel’s one of the greatest actors that we’ve ever had,” says producer Barbara Broccoli. “He has inhabited the role of Bond and he’s pushed it in directions that one wouldn’t have thought possible. Starting with `Casino Royale’ and going into `Quantum of Solace,’ and certainly in this film, he really reveals Bond’s inner life in a way that we’ve never seen before, in a way that author Ian Fleming does in the books, where you really feel as if you understand the inner turmoil and complexity and conflicts. With this screenplay and with Sam, we’ve unearthed a lot of the emotion connected to Bond’s own past and mined the dramatic tension that stems from that.”
Broccoli explains that “Skyfall” explores the relationship between Bond and M (Judi Dench) – perhaps more than in any of the 22 previous films. “We wanted to really mine the relationship between Bond and M, because it is the most significant relationship he has in his life,” says the producer. “M is the only person who represents authority to him. You have two extraordinary actors, and we just thought – let’s go all the way. It’s worked extremely well. It’s a very emotional story.”
“Their relationship is based on mutual respect,” says Craig. “They both know that every time the chips are down, one of them will have to make a sacrifice – it’s difficult to have a touchy-feely relationship with someone under those circumstances. But at the same time – and Sam was very keen on this – Bond’s always had in the back of his mind that there’s a bit more. It’s something he never shows, but the connection is there – and I get a kick out of that as an actor, to play a life you can’t show.”
Bond audiences expect that a Bond film will deliver plenty of action, and off course, no actor had more stunts than Craig. Co-star Javier Bardem describes watching Craig take on the role: “There is some physicality to the role that you have to be prepared to do, but of course mine compared to Daniel’s was nothing. And he does the action scenes so easily – From the outside, watching him, I was thinking, ‘If I were you, I wouldn’t be doing that!’” Bardem laughs. “I mean, I did a little bit, but nothing in comparison to with what Daniel did.”
“Daniel’s an extremely hard working actor, probably the hardest working actor I’ve ever seen,” says producer Michael G. Wilson. “And it’s not only the mental preparation, but the physical preparation. He works out like a demon, like a professional athlete. He is really committed to the role, committed to being Bond.”
Broccoli adds, “Daniel contributes a great deal to designing the action and the fights in particular and he’s the one who really pulls it off, because he wants to do as much of it as he possibly can. We were in Turkey for the train sequence and I had my heart in my mouth the whole time; he and Ola Rapace were fighting on the roof of a moving train and the moves that they were doing were just heart stopping. Daniel’s the reason why the action works as well as it does because he sells it, he’s up there and I think audiences know that.”
Opening across the Philippines on October 31, “Skyfall” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Boy Abunda Offered Role in A Beautiful Affair
Television host Boy Abunda was supposed to be part of the upcoming ABS-CBN series “A Beautiful Affair.”Abunda made the revelation on “The Buzz” on Sunday while he and co-host Charlene Gonzales were interviewing “A Beautiful Affair” lead stars Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz.
According to Abunda, it was director Laurenti Dyogi himself who offered him a role in the series.
“I was offered to be part of the “A Beautiful Affair.” In-offer po ako ni Direk Lauren. I was supposed to own an art gallery sa Vienna tapos nasunog and then Lloydie was supposed to come to me for love advice,” he shared.
Abunda, however, said he felt the role wasn't right for him.
“Sabi ko parang hindi ko yata gusto na masusunog ang art gallery. Gusto ko ang role kung ako ay lalabas sa siang teleserye, 'yung medyo bagay sa akin. Abogado sabi ko. What they did, they wrote another role. Lawyer naman, magbabasa ng will,” he said.
But when the award-winning television host learned that he will only be delivering four lines, he disagreed to do it.
“There was a scene there na may will. Babasahin ko 'yung four lines. Sabi ko bakit four lines lang? I want more lines. Doon sa apat na linya, sasabat pa si Bea. Sabi ko ayaw ko na lang,” he said.
Joking he would just wait for the next material, Abunda said in jest that he could just not do it.
Joining Cruz and Alonzo in the series are John Estrada, John Arcilla, Jaime Fabregas, Jim Paredes, Slater Young, Megan Young and Maritoni Fernandez.
Billed as the "long-awaited return of the love team that defined a generation," "A Beautiful Affair" is Alonzo and Cruz's first TV project together in four years. It also marks the 10th anniversary of their onscreen team-up.
The series will premiere on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida on October 29. By wanderer || Full Story: Kapamilyalogy
