I wasnt able to watch the pilot episode of GMA 7's Dyesebel but thankfully, there are youtube videos available to watch Dyesebel episode 1.

I noticed that GMA does not care much about those who upload videos of their telebabad series so Marian Rivera fans or those who are interested to watch Dyesebel videos online can just go to youtube to catch the episodes that they have missed.

For a start, here is the episode 1/5 uploaded by tribalwh0one online.

Marimar star Marian Rivera lived up to her statement a few months back that it won't matter to her if she had to go topless if given the role of Dyesebel. --And Marian did went topless while shooting Dyesebel.

But in case some people will watch GMA 7 telebabad series Dyesebel in the hope to watch a half naked Marian, sorry folks but Dyesebel is targeted to audience of all ages which means that Marian will not go bare and go blatantly half nude. Otherwise, Dyesebel will not be shown as a TV series.

So, Joyce Bernal is directing Dyesebel? I hope that they will not abuse Dyesebel the same way they have overextended the Philippine Marimar TV series. Watchers like me can become irritated when some stupid twists are added to the story to take advantage of the high ratings.

GMA 7 finally confirmed that Marian Rivera will be playing the much buzzed about fantaserye, Dyesebel. According to PEP, the role was originally intended for Rhian Ramos but because Rhian cannot go topless and there have been negative publicities about her, the executives of GMA gave the role to Marian Rivera.

So, are we expecting a topless Dyesebel on national TV? It may be okay for Marian Rivera to go topless for the role but I doubt if the display of the upper part of Dyesebel's body will be "blatantly" done. Of course, there is the MTRCB and moralist critics who panic when showbiz personalities wear plunging neckline and ultrashort short skirts.

Dingdong Dantes will be playing as Fredo (Dyesebel's love interest). Can't GMA find other actors and actresses? When Angel Locsin was still in GMA, all the best roles were given to her. This time, Marian takes all the best roles. Marian is good in acting. I have seen her act as early as her Super twins role but how about the other talents of GMA? Does Marian also need to go to ABS CBN for these other stars to shine?

GMA 7 has already announced that it will be airing Dyesebel as one of its Primetime TV series this 2008. Unfortunately, the Kapuso network has not yet unveiled who will play the lead role in Dyesebel. There are various speculations regarding who will be playing the Dyesebel role.

Here are who people think would be the more likely candidates to play the Dyesebel role:

Marian Rivera. Marimar star Marian Rivera is actually willing to go topless if offered the Dyesebel role. According to her, "wala namang sirenang naka-bra". I hope though that GMA will search for more talents. Nakakasawa naman na laging si Marian na lang.

Rhian Ramos. There are also speculations that Rhian Ramos is being eyed to play the Dyesebel role. Personally though, Rhian Ramos' acting skills still need to be improved if GMA is serious on getting her as Dyesebel. Otherwise, the Dyesebel fanstaserye will more likely flop if the lead actress merely recites her lines and does not actually act well.
