He was once a Kapamilya until he moved to rival Kapuso station. In the last six years, the good-looking Geoff Eigenmann became one of the prized actors at the EDSA broadcasting facility. He, however, fell from grace for some reasons. His assignments had become far and between. Most of the time he’d find himself doing nothing.
Well, not this time, as the actor decided to be a Kapamilya again. Recently, he formally joined the cast of ABS-CBN’s most watched daytime teleserye Be My Lady.
Geoff plays Dr. Joselito Mariano, an ER doctor to whom Pinang is directly reporting. Dr. Mariano is known to be strict and unapproachable. And his true personality remains a mystery to the staff of the hospital. What will his role be in the life of Pinang? How will this affect the budding romance of Pinang and Phil?
Be My Lady airs weekdays at 11:30 a.m before It’s Showtime in ABS-CBN’s PrimeTanghali. For updates, follow @bemyladyabscbn on Twitter and Instagram or like www.facebook.com/bemyladyabscbn on Facebook.
