Viewers fell under the spell of 'Grazilda', GMA Network’s original drama series topbilled by Glaiza de Castro and Geoff Eigenmann, after its strong debut on the Telebabad block.

Based on data supplier AGB Nielsen Philippines, Grazilda enjoyed an impressive opening with 14.5 percent Mega Manila people rating last Monday, September 13. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it ruled once again with 14.4 percent and 13.7 percent on the weeknight primetime race, respectively.

Anticipation is high for interesting twist incorporated on the well-loved Cinderella fairy tale which exposes the crossover between fantasy and reality of the characters of the wicked stepsisters, the stepmother, and the prince. Filipinos instantly fell in love with the brave, out-of-the-ordinary heroine, one of the ugly stepsisters herself, Grazilda.

Glaiza, along with the rest of the ensemble cast, are able to give remarkable performances to their respective roles which by far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Glaiza shines in her own way as the antagonist turned protagonist of the drama series which excites and surprises her adoring fans and supporters.

More exciting spins will unfold as Grazilda crosses the boundaries of the real world where she meets her long-lost father Fernando (Joel Torre) and stepmother Veronne (Cherie Gil) and stepsisters Cindy (Yasmien Kurdi) and Tonette (Stef Prescott). Her life will crumble after discovering that her mother Matilda (Rio Locsin) and sister Anatalia (Dyanin Cruz) are being maltreated in Fantasia.

How will Grazilda cope with her struggles in the real world now that she is stuck to live with own wicked stepmother and stepsisters? Will Eric (Geoff Eigenmann) become Grazilda’s dashing prince charming?

Grazilda airs weeknights right after Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown on GMA Telebabad.
