GMA creative writer Suzette Doctolero has expressed disappointment over the poor TV ratings of Kapuso series "Legal Wives."
On Facebook, Doctolero wrote: "Pababa ang ratings ng LW kahit na ito ay pinupuri. Aanhin ang papuri? We need ratings. Bakit hindi nagrereflect sa ratings and paper? Kungdi mag rate ang isang show, o magdeliver ng numbers, hindi na po magkakaroon uli ng ganito."
"Mali ako. Tradisyunal at formula soap pa rin talaga ang tinatangkilik ng tao," she added.
The revolutionary series features a casting coup top-billed by no less than Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo as Ismael Makadatu, an honorable man from a well-off Mranaw family who will equally love three women out of obligation, dedication, and compassion; Alice Dixson as Amirah Alonte, the virtuous and pious daughter of a sultan and Ismael's first wife; Andrea Torres as Diane San Luis, Isamel’s second wife who is a feisty modern Catholic woman who will go to great lengths to fight for herself and Ismael's love; Bianca Umali as Farrah Valeandong, a smart and innocent lady who becomes Ismael's third wife in hopes of saving her family's reputation.
In July, Kapamilya actress Angel Locsin and Doctolero had an online word war over ABS-CBN franchise renewal issue.
Doctolero is best known for her work in "Encantadia" in 2005 and for its reboot in 2016.
