Characters

Toni Gonzaga/Abby Bautista (young) as Princess Reyes / Jackie Reyes - Jackie is a survivor from a massacre plot against her family, an alien abduction, growing up without parents to provide her needs, and moving on with life with no memory of her real identity. Despite her traumatic past, Jackie is a positive thinker. She is a resourceful and determined news reporter with a special interest in paranormal and extraterrestrial activities. She is obsessed with retracing the events of the past—looking for any leads of alien movements, hoping to find possible indications of her parents’ whereabouts. And that vital lead may be Kokey. The role was originally given to Angel Locsin. Locsin was replaced by Gonzaga due to Locsin's commitment to Imortal.

Vhong Navarro/ Kyle Balili (young)

as Bruce Kho Reyes - Bruce used to be the boy who fell in love with the little rich girl with no memory. He is Jackie's best friend, confidante and companion in the search for her missing parents. The hard work and sacrifices he made paid off when his one great love accepted his proposal to be his wife. One day before the wedding, Bruce accepts a news coverage that leads to an unfortunate accident of stellar proportions. Bruce seems to get mad at Bam-Bam (Toribia's Daughter) and helping Jackie and Josa as Bam-Bam teases them.

as Belat - See: Belat

Melai Cantiveros/ Amy Nobleza (young) as Josa Reyes - Josa sees and does everything in a different way---odd but funny. She is Bruce's cousin, and Jackie's best friend and pseudo-sister. Her carefree attitude is refreshing, but would often lead to a lot of hilarious misadventures.

Jason Francisco as Adonis - Adonis had been training as a cameraman for Channel Z for the last six years but can't get a promotion. When Bruce starts working for the station, Adonis becomes one of his good friends. Adonis eventually becomes Josa's love interest.

Ms. Gloria Romero as Barbara Reyes - Madam Barbra is a sophisticated woman who owns a TV network, Z Broadcasting Company, as well as several companies. Her authority cannot be questioned, but behind her straightforward, stern and unyielding command is a grandmother longing to be reunited with her long-lost son and granddaughter.
