ABS-CBN brings back the teleserye that touches the lives of million Filipinos nationwide, and brings popularity to the names of Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes as they own the characters Mara and Clara. Mara Clara is the longest drama series of ABS-CBN where it started in June 22, 1992 on afternoon slot and ended in February 14, 1997 where it was moved in primetime slot of the Kapamilya Network.
Now in Oct 25, 2010, the famous diary will be unfolding the secrets again of the lives of Mara and Clara with the new stars playing the iconic role. Kathryn Bernardo will be doing the role of Mara and Julia Montes as Clara, with Dimples Romana as Almira Del Valle, Bobby Andrews as Amante Del Valle, Jhong Hilario as Gary David, Mylene Dizon as Susan David, Gina Pareno as Lupe, Chokoleit as CG, Albie Casino as Christian, John Manalo as Eris, and Ping Mendina as Kardo. Lupe is a new character on the remake of Mara Clara series where she will play as the grandmother of Mara, while the surname Davis was changed to David.
Here are the list of the artist who did the original Mara Clara that was created by Emil Cruz Jr. : Judy Ann Santos as Mara Del Valle, Gladys Reyes as Clara Davis, Juan Rodrigo as Amante del Valle , Beverly Vergel as Almira del Valle, Dan Fernandez as Kardo, Susan Africa as Susan Davis, Eruel Tongco as Gary Davis, Leni Santos as Lenita, Minnie Aguilar as Lagring, Michael “Eagle” Riggs as CG, Paolo Contis as Jepoy, Christopher Roxas as Eris, Wowie De Guzman as Christian. Tongco died before the series ended which created a huge impact in the show, while some of characters were not included on the remake’s trailer so I am not sure if they are included on the Mara Clara.

For a person who saw the original Mara Clara, I am excited on how the creative team and the production will tweak some information and scenes to appeal in the present times. The 2010 Mara Clara will be airing on ABS-CBN beginning Oct 25.
