Derek Ramsay and Andrea Torres heat up primetime TV with The Better Woman

Last July 1, GMA Network unveiled the most compelli0ng and passionate love story on the Telebabad block via The Better Woman. 

The original drama introduces the much-awaited team up of two of the Network’s hottest stars – the most daring Kapuso leading man Derek Ramsay as Andrew de Villa and versatile and sultry actress Andrea Torres as Jasmine de Villa andJuliet Santos-de Villa a.k.a Elaine Reyes.

This is Derek’s first soap as a Kapuso and after months of teasing about the project, he is looking forward to everyone finally watching what they’ve been working on. “I’m really excited for this project. Hope all the Kapuso viewers will enjoy our show. It’s been really tough doing it but it’s definitely worth it,” he said.

Andrea, meanwhile, is happy with everyone’s warm reception of their tandem. “Challenging at kakaiba talaga ang role ko sa soap. But I’m grateful na si Derek ang ka-partner ko dahil magaan siyang katrabaho at mabilis kaming naging kumportable sa isa’t isa," she shared.

Happily married couple Andrew (Derek) and Jasmine (Andrea) live and own a surf resort in La Union. Their seemingly perfect life crumbles when Andrew flies to Manila for a business trip. He crosses path with Jasmine’s long-lost twin sister Juliet a.k.a Elaine who works as an exotic pole dancer. When Juliet reconciles with her estranged biological family and resides with her sister, a forbidden love affair between her and Andrew ensues behind Jasmine’s back. Who is more deserving to be called the better woman - the prim Jasmine or the seductive Juliet? Who is worthier of Andrew’s love?
