GMA has announced that Marian Rivera will be starring in the remake of Dyesebel, the mermaid, a role made famous by Vilma Santos in the early 70s. She is still unofficially attached to Rosalinda, but it's obvious they're putting off Rosalinda for a later release date (2009) so that the Thalia-novelas don't get repetitive and saturate the airwaves so soon after the recent success of Marimar. Although, for Filipino television, that is a new strategy since Filipino TV usually is and still is repetitive and if one thing becomes popular, everybody jumps on the bandwagon and soon the channels are bombarded with the same type of thing (fantasy-novelas, asianovelas, etc.), but that is a smart move.
