A Beautiful Affair Premieres October 29, Main Plot Revealed

Ten years after their successful debut on primetime television, John Lloyd 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.

Video: A Beautiful Affair Final Full Trailer

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.

Carlo and Wendy Spotted Together, Visited Kevin in Hospital

Ex-housemates Carlo Romero and Wendy Tabusalla are spotted together this week. Carlo, who got evicted  just last March 17 from the PBB house seemed to have found a home in Wendy's arms. 

It can be recalled that Wendy was waiting for Carlo outside the house during last Saturday's eviction while bannering a shirt with Carlo's name in it.

These two ex-housemates became very close inside the PBB house which became controversial since Wendy had a boyfriend outside (Lance Howard). Their new-found romance inside the house was interrupted when Wendy was evicted. Now that Wendy is totally single and ready to mingle and Carlo outside the house, will the romance between them brew again? 

Well, with photos the here, it may seem that CaNdy is on once more!

Wendy and Carlo also visited another former housemate, Kevin Fowler in the hospital along with other ex-housemates. We can see the sweetness between Carlo and Wendy over the now healing Kevin Fowler. 

Get well soon, Kevin!
All the best, CaNdy!

Carlo is PBB Latest Evictee, Paco Back as Wildcard Housemate

The 26 year old Carlo Romero from Chicago, Illinois was evicted March 17 on Pinoy Big Brother's 14th eviction night. Carlo got the lowest percentage of votes from among the nominated housemates. Here are the percentage votes tally for last night's eviction:

Carlo Romero - 18.54%

Joseph Biggel - 33.67%

Divine Maitland-Smith - 21.01%

Slater Young - 26.79%

Carlo was welcomed by Wendy Tabusalla in the outside world, cheering and handing a shirt with Carlo's name in it. Now that Wendy is single and ready to mingle again, will Carlo pursue Wendy outside? This will be a good news for CaNdy fans.

Meanwhile, ex-housemate Paco Evangelista is back on the game as a wildcard housemate. After a 24-hour voting period which started last Thursday night, 73.37% of PBB fans who voted wanted Paco back as an official housemate while only 26.63% disagree. This decision will now give Paco the chance to be included in the Big 4 and eventually, for the coveted Big Winner title.

While this may be a good news for Paco's fans, many other PBB fans cried unfair for Big Brother's decision to give the said chance only to Paco, ignoring the other previously evicted housemates, more so the others that exit voluntarily.

Kuya's Fairy Godmothers Grant Wishes in PBB Unlimited

The remaining housemates suffered and fought back against the oppressive Don Baron and Donya Beauty last week, but this time, they are in for a treat as three former PBB Big Winners named as ‘Kuya’s Fairy Godmothers’ (KFGs) entered the famous house to make their wishes come true this week in Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited.

What will the housemates ask from former PBB Big Winners Nene Tamayo (Season 1), Beatriz Saw (Season 2), and Keanna Reeves (Celebrity Edition)? Aside from granting their requests, the KFGs will also give joy, inspiration, and encouragement to the remaining housemates who will battle for the four slots in the Big Night to be held at the Quirino Grandstand in Manila on March 31 (Saturday).

Meanwhile, housemates Biggel, Carlo, Divine, at Slater are on the chopping block this week, and one of them will be losing the chance to enter the Big Four. The nominee who garnered the lowest percentage of votes in the overnight voting held yesterday will leave the Big Brother house in the eviction night on Saturday (Mar 17).

Big Brother continues to pull unlimited surprises as the housemates are split into two groups – Biggel, Pamu, and Tin remained in the ‘hacienda,’ while Carlo, Divine, and Slater, and house player Paco returned to the mansion. Last week’s tough physical tasks brought out the bold and brave in them, but more challenges loom for the housemates in their last three weeks in the house.

Meanwhile, the Dreamboy of California Kevin was finally evicted last Saturday (Mar 10) for garnering the lowest percentage of public votes (22.56%) against Carlo (24.56%), Biggel (25.02%), and Tin (27.86%). He left the house with Seiichi, who was named evictee last week.

Don’t miss the exciting developments in the season’s last three weeks in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliDay” with Bianca Gonzalez weekdays after “Angelito: Batang Ama” in Kapamilya Gold and in “Pinoy Big Brother UnliNight” with Toni Gonzaga weeknights after “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” in Primetime Bida.

PBB Unlimited 'Power Of One' Rule Implemented

Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited implemented a new process in voting. The so-called 'Power of One' twist will enable only 1 vote per sim card for the whole voting process which will last only for a day (or overnight voting). This new rule in voting will be a big factor in determining who among the nominated housemates is the true favorite of the masses.

This week, 4 housemates were nominated. They are Joseph Biggel, Carlo Romero, Divine Maithland-Smith and Slater Young. They were put into the list by getting at least 1 vote from fellow housemates, meaning the number of points given to each nominee has no bearing. Pamu and Tin were the only housemates who were not nominated by fellow housemates.

Meanwhile, former Big Winners Nene Tamayo, Beatriz Saw and Keanna Reeves will enter the house as Kuya's Fairy Godmothers who will grant wishes of lucky housemates.

Don't miss the last few days of PBB Unlimited as the Big Night will happen this March 31 at the Quirino Grandstand.

Big Utol is Back in PBB Unlimited, 4 Housemates Nominated for Eviction

Housemates Joseph Biggel, Tin Patrimonio, Carlo Romero and Kevin Fowler are nominated for this week's eviction in PBB Unlimited. Unlike the common voting process, Big Brother had decided to allow only one vote per sim per day. This new rule will truly reflect which among the housemates is well-loved by the masses and will prevent monopoly on voting (which might lead to well-off housemates getting more votes).

To vote for your favorite housemate, just text BB<space>name of housemate and send it to 231 for Smart, Talk 'N text subscribers and to 2331 for Globe, TM and Sun Cellular subscribers.

Meanwhile, Big Utol is Back on the house! Big Brother will be out for important business and his younger brother, Big Utol will take over. Also, M5 members Baron Geisler and Beauty Gonzales will be back inside as VIPs. Ex-housemate Seiichi will serve as the right-hand of the Hacienderos.

Expect a lot more surprises from Big Utol in PBB Unlimited. It can be recalled that Big Utol is opposite his older brother with somewhat a rebel attitude. He allowed the housemates on previous editions to drink with him inside the confession room. Will this happen again? Or an act more worse than this? Don't miss PBB weeknights and weekdays as we start the countdown to the Big Night.

Housemate Deniesse Gets Force Evicted From PBB House!

Deniesse Joaquin was the latest evictee in Pinoy Big Brother Unlimited but not by garnering the lowest percentage of votes among the nominees but because of a force eviction by Big Brother. Last night, Deniesse took her final vow inside the house and got force evicted by making severe violations which broke the house's rulebook.

Deniesse's first 'mortal' violation was when she asked guest Melai Cantiveros about her image in the outside world. The other violation was when she was caught whispering with housemate Divine. The two violations made Kuya decide to evict Deniesse.

It was Carlo who got the lowest percentage of votes before the text voting was stopped on Friday to give way for the force eviction of Deniesse. Carlo got only 14.13% while Deniesse could have been saved with 20.85% of votes. Tin and Seiichi got the highest and the 2nd highest of save votes with 36.22% and 28.80%, respectively.

This week, a group of ex-housemates called M6 will enter the house for a very special task. They are Baron Geisler, Beauty Gonzales, Franzen Fajardo, Rica Paras, and this season's evictee, Luz McClinton and Kigoy Abarico.

Watch PBB and be updated with another big twist to come.
