Viewers across the country watched Erich Gonzales’ return to primetime TV as the pilot episode of her new series The Blood Sisters rated high nationwide.
The program, where Erich plays triplets, recorded a national TV rating of 25.2 percent versus its direct rival Wowowin, which recorded 16.9 percent, according to the viewership data from Kantar Media.
The action and mystery began in Davao, where Erika worked different jobs, including dancing in a club, in order to support his son and pay for his medical bills.
But her life suddenly changed for the worse when she witnessed the death of a man in the club. The men involved with the crime sought her down in order to silence her – an unfortunate incident that forced her to leave her son and seek refuge in Manila.
In the city, Erika soon crosses paths with her twin, Carrie, whom the criminals mistake as her. With Carrie gone, Erika assumes the identity of her sister, gets to experience a life of luxury, and is thrust into a world of secrets and surprises.
“It’s the most challenging, the most daring, and the hardest of all TV soaps I’ve done. It’s really hard because imagine in one day, you need to change characters immediately. In one scene, the three of them are together, change makeup, different clothes, everything, and more than that, you need to know by heart all the characters,” Erich told the press during the series’ media launch.
Meanwhile, Erich’s TV comeback also caused a stir online as the show’s hashtag #TBSSimula topped the list of trending topics on Twitter.
With its impressive performance on its pilot week, people are now curious on how long Erika would be able to keep up her façade as Carrie and what Erika will discover about her identity.
Watch the story unfolds as the drama-action-suspense series continues to charm viewers with its interesting plot. The Blood Sisters airs Monday to Friday nights on ABS-CBN Primetime Bida.
