The role of "Jodi" in the Philippine remake of Stairway to Heaven went to Rhian Ramos instead of Jennylyn Mercado.

Since Dingdong was chosen to play the role of “Cholo” in Stairway to Heaven adaptation, fans are clamoring for Jennylyn Mercado to play the role of Jodi. But it did not happen.

Although GMA is yet to reveal (officially) the cast of Stairway to Heaven including the much-awaited new leading lady of Dingdong, GMA executive Redgie Magno confirmed that it’s Rhian Ramos who will play the role of Jodi in the said adaptation.

Included in the cast are TJ Trinidad as Tristan, Jean Garcia as the mother of Eunice and Tristan who will make the life of Jodi very difficult. Rumor has it that Cristine Reyes will play the role of Eunice if ever her comeback to GMA pushes through.

Directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal with headwriter Dode Cruz, Stairway to Heaven will debut on GMA Telebabad this September 7, 2009.
