“Tinik sa Dibdib” is no longer topbilled by Sunshine Dizon as Nadine Samonte took over the lead role. The switch turned out to be a serendipity as the soap is winning in the tv ratings nationwide, the only GMA program in the daytime race to be able to beat its rival kapamilya show “Banana Split: Daily Servings” in the TNS Nationwide TV Ratings, at least for November 16 to 18, Monday to Wednesday.

‘Tinik sa Dibdib’ is Doing Great in TNS Nationwide TV Ratings originally appeared on Starmometer on November 22, 2009.

GMA confirmed the reports that Sunshine Dizon will be pulled-out from her afternoon soap opera “Sine Novela Presents: Tinik sa Dibdib”. Here is the network’s official statement:

GMA Network would like to inform the public that it has pulled out Ms. Sunshine Dizon from her current afternoon drama program, Sine Novela presents Tinik sa Dibdib, due to health reasons.

It was decided that Ms. Dizon’s condition would make it impossible for her to perform as an actress. GMA Network advised Ms. Dizon to rest in order to fully recover.

There are rumors that Sunshine committed suicide by overdosing herself of sleeping pills. Tanya Garcia’s brother, who is reported as Sunshine’s boyfriend, allegedly broke up with her that’s why the “Tinik sa Dibdib” star got depressed, allegedly took some pills and got hospitalized. Another rumor has it that Sunshine is pregnant. These rumors are all unconfirmed.

According to Dorothy Laforteza, Sunshine’s mother, the “pregnant” issue is not true. The only thing that she said was that her daughter will take a vacation in the US with his father and that she might study there and eventually quit showbiz.

Sunshine Dizon will be replaced by Nadine Samonte in the upcoming episodes of “Tinik sa Dibdib.”

GMA’s Official Statement for Pulling Out Sunshine Dizon from ‘Tinik sa Dibdib’ originally appeared on Starmometer on October 15, 2009.

A significant decline were evident in the overnight tv ratings of AGB Nielsen during and after typhoon Ondoy wreaked havoc in Mega Manila. But as the week progresses, the ratings gradually came back to normal.

Last September 28, two soap operas debuted on GMA-7. But since Metro Manila is badly hit by typhoon Ondoy last Saturday, the aftermath affected some shows specially “Tinik sa Dibdib” and “Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit” because both soaps started in a very low note they did not even manage to enter the daytime’s top 10.

The next day, September 29, Iza Calzado‘s soap debuted at no. 5 in daytime’s top 10 and then it climbed to no. 3 last September 30 and reached no. 2 last October 1. It was rating better than Sunshine Dizon’s soap for the whole week EXCEPT last Friday when Tinik sa Dibdib took over the 2nd spot and Kaya Kong Abutin ang Langit settled for the 3rd slot.

In the primetime race, Lovers in Paris also held its pilot episode last Monday night and it’s safe to say that it was not affected by Ondoy by virtue of its 20% rating which is good for fourth place. It maintained the position on Tuesday but it dropped to the seventh position last Wednesday and Thursday. It ended it’s first week run last Friday at no. 5, tied with Survivor Philippines Palau.
