HALIK directors Cathy Amarillo and Carlo Po Artillaga (third and fourth from left) flanked by their actors (from left) Sam Milby, Yen Santos, Yam Concepcion and Jericho Rosales. A new pairing is set to heat up TV viewers’ nights with Jericho Rosales and Yen Santos. The two will star in a darker-toned love story of star-crossed lovers in Halik.

The show centers on Lino (Jericho) and Jacky (Yen) whose story begins when they are still children. Jacky’s parents disapprove of Lino as he is the son of one of their workers.

Eventually, Lino decides to stay away to spare Jacky from getting more hurt.

In a twist of fate, the two meet again after years apart, but they are now married to other people. Lino is with Jade (Yam Concepcion), an ambitious, headstrong woman, who finds a way to get what she wants, while Jacky’s husband is Ace (Sam Milby), a rich man whose sweetness hides a secret.

Now that destiny has given them another chance at being together, they must choose between fighting for the love they were deprived of and keeping their promise of forever to people who may not deserve it.

Also in the cast are Amy Austria, Alan Paule, Precious Lara Quigaman, Romnick Sarmenta, Cris Villanueva, Almira Muhlach, Christian Bables, Hero Angeles, Chai Fonacier, JC Alcantara, Jane De Leon and Gab Lagman. The show is directed by Cathy Camarillo and Carlo Po Artillaga under the business unit of Ruel Bayani.

Halik airs every night after Bagani on ABS-CBN starting 13 August.
