Dingdong Dantes and Dennis Trillo join forces in
newest primetime drama Cain at Abel
his November, GMA Net-
T
work brings forth a stir-
ring new tale of brotherhood and
sacrifice with its highly-anticipat-
ed primetime spectacle, Cain at
Abel.
Headlining the series are
two Kapuso royalties, Primetime
King Dingdong Dantes as Daniel
and Drama King Dennis Trillo as
Miguel/Elias, who are both looking
forward to this unique project.
“Yung istorya nakatutok sa
dalawang magkapatid na lalaki.
Dito iikot ang kwento,” said Ding-
dong. “It is the central plot of the
whole teleserye. Para sa akin, ka-
kaiba talaga siya. And the fact that
I will be working with Dennis Trillo
after a long time and of course,
si Solenn fresh from Alyas Robin
Hood, we’re going to explore
something else here. Most of the
people in the cast, like Sanya,
first time ko makakatrabaho kaya
these reasons excite me.”
For Dennis, it’s both the
people and story that excite him,
“Bukod sa makakatrabaho, ‘yung
project mismo exciting siya dahil
ngayon lang ako ulit gagawa ng ac-
tion-drama sa TV. ‘Yung makasali
ako sa show na ito, makatrabaho
ulit si Dong, at siyempre ‘yung
buong kwento, malaking project
siya talaga kaya masaya ako na
part ako ng programa.”
Cain at Abel is an action-family
drama about two brothers, Daniel
and Miguel, who grew up in two
very different worlds. As children,
they were separated by fate. Dan-
iel was raised comfortably in the
city by his father. Miguel, on the
other hand, was taken by his
mother who later changed his
name to Elias. They relocated to
a poor fishing village where they
struggled to make ends meet.
Years later, Daniel and Miguel/
Elias were drawn together by their
mutual affections: the father who
brought them apart, the mother
they yearn for, and the woman
they both love.
