Eversince "My Husband's Lover" premiered on Primetime television three and a half weeks ago, the Phenomenal GMA Channel 7 teleserye has been receiving favorable reviews from all sectors of society, and has been a consistent top trender on one of the most powerful and visible social media which is Twitter. It has already been a daily habit for avid viewers to tweet their comments and views every time the teleserye airs every night at 9:30pm on GMA. In fact, since Day 1 of it's telecast, it has consistently been trending every night up to this day, which is already on its 17th episode. Critics have hailed the series as very contemporary and realistic. The performances of its lead stars namely Dennis Trillo, Tom Rodriguez and Carla Abellana are being praised to the heavens, and even its powerhouse supporting cast namely Chanda Romero, Kuh Ledesma, Glydel Mercado, Karel Marquez, Roi Vinzon, Victor Basa, Kevin Santos and Bettina Carlos have been giving spectacular performances as well. The series' director Dominic Zapata has indeed been doing a great job with his efficient and remarkable direction, and of course, the writer Suzette Doctolero has megged a very successful plot. It's the very first time in Philippine television that such a theme has been tackled..that of a homosexual relationship. A married gay man who is in love with another gay man.
Although there have been a number of sectors of society, like the CBCP who have been criticizing the series because of its moral values, a great majority of society have accepted this kind of theme and have been religiously watching the series nightly. In fact, its rival series Apoy sa Dagat, which topbills some of ABSCBN's top stars, decided to end the show due to its dismal showing on the ratings game, being toppled by My Husbands Lover. It has been rating really very well since it had its initial telecast, and has continued to fare well since then. Our congratulations to the entire cast and crew and to GMA for coming up with an entirely different plot, and giving the televiewers something new. We are getting sick and tired of teleseryes which center on twins, adultery, kidnapping, hatred, revenge, sibling rivalry, rich boy-poor girl scenarios.
