THREE TO TANGO: What does it take to match the hot chick glamour and aura of class exuded by the likes of sophisticates Rhian Ramos, Max Collins and Lovi Poe?
In planning new series The One That Got Away, producer Hazel Abinozasays they envision a fashion pictorial look for the program.
‘Our three female leads will come out styled and pampered, like the classy ladies that they are in the series and in real life,’’ she said during a recent press briefing.

FINDING THE LADIES’ MATCH: Certainly, the same high quality standard is expected of the three ladies’ leading men. They must possess that manly suave, toned body, with lots of sex appeal, and a generally winning attitude.
It wasn’t hard, according to Hazel, to decide on the three ladies’ common leading man. Network’s choice ultimately began and ended with resident actor Dennis Trillo, who plays the title role.
Dennis says having been cast as the common male lead to the three sexy girls poses undue pressure on his shoulders. “I need to shape up, look my best all the time here,’’ he says.
In real life, is Dennis the one that got away? The veteran actor merely smiled, saying that’s for the parents of his former girlfriends to find out.
