Bridges of Love is a 2015 Philippine soap opera television series directed by Richard V. Somes and Will Fredo, starring Jericho Rosales, Paulo Avelino and Maja Salvador.[2][3][4][5] The series was aired on ABS-CBN and worldwide on The Filipino Channel from March 16, 2015 to August 7, 2015, replacing Two Wives.

Synopsis

The story shares the tale of two brothers, Gael and Carlos, who were bound by their promise to each other, but separated by an unfortunate tragedy with guilt and hatred. They will be bridged together by love embodied by the same lady-of-interest — Mia, who was Gael's greatest love, and the woman who completed Carlos' broken heart.

Production

Dubbed as "a story like no other", Bridges of Love is a soap opera directed by Dado Lumibao of the critically acclaimed melodrama, The Legal Wife, and Richard Somes of the highly successful horror-fantasy drama, Imortal. It is written by G3 San Diego from Magkaribal, and head writer Benjamin Lingan from Apoy Sa Dagat. Filming of the series began in September 12, 2014.[6]

During commercial gap of the romantic-comedy series, Forevermore, the teaser released on February 18, 2015,[7] and the full trailer premiered on February 25, 2015.

Casting

Prior to its unveiling, the soap opera made headlines because of changes in its casting. John Lloyd Cruz was originally part of the main cast,[8][9] who at the time could not commit as he had yet to renew his contract with ABS-CBN. Cruz was later replaced by Xian Lim, but was eventually reassigned by management to co-star anew with Kim Chiu for a third series together. On January 10, 2015, Lim was officially replaced by Paulo Avelino.[10]

The series marks the reunion of Rosales and Salvador, who previously starred together as husband and mistress respectively in The Legal Wife in 2014. It is also the first team-up of Rosales, Avelino and Salvador as previous Gawad Urian awardees. Meanwhile, the soap opera is Edu Manzano and Antoinette Taus' comeback project as returning Kapamilya stars.
