A laughter-filled Saturday night awaits viewers as GMA airs its brand new sitcom “Open 24/7” beginning May 27 on GMA.
Bringing in the laughs is the highly-anticipated on-screen comedic collaboration of Bossing Vic Sotto and multi-talented actress Maja Salvador.
Vic, who often plays a dad in previous shows, leaves the “daddy” role for “Open 24/7.” As Boss EZ, he is a reluctant, socially awkward guy who finds himself suddenly in charge of a convenience store.
The role affords Vic the chance to work with multi-generation stars.
“The challenge is connecting with millennials and Gen Z,” said the versatile actor-host.
Maja plays Mikaela, a very “kikay” girl who is one of Boss EZ’s crazy Gen-Z crew in the store.
Joining them in making the viewers crack up every weekend are Jose Manalo as Spark, Sofia Pablo as Kitty, and Allen Ansay as Al.
Also in the cast are Sparkle artists Riel Lomadilla as Bekbek, Anjay Anson as Andoy, Kimson Tan as Kokoy, Abed Green as Fred, and Bruce Roeland as Doe.
Boss EZ’s convenience store, “Open 24/7,” was started by his brother (Jose) through a bank loan. Unfortunately, his brother had an accident and is temporarily disabled. As the co-borrower, Boss EZ has no option but to take responsibility and deal with all the difficulties of managing his zany Gen-Z crew and quirky clients, or risk losing everything.
Despite all that, Boss EZ is motivated by his love for his brother, his employees, and his clients. He aims to be a rainbow in someone else’s cloud. Although they may not be perfect, the convenience store is his home, and they are his family.
Under the helm of JR Reyes and M-Zet Productions, “Open 24/7” airs beginning May 27 on GMA-7. Viewers abroad can also catch the program via GMA Pinoy TV.
