On Sunday, August 18th, 2019, StarTimes subscribers in Kenya will get to enjoy a new fascinating telenovela series, The Blood Sisters, exclusively on the StarTimes platform and for the first time in Kenya. The series will launch on Novela E Plus channel at 09:40 pm.
The show, which is a progressive effort by the broadcaster to sustain the momentum built by the recently concluded hit novella Asintado, will air a single episode at the same time every day.
Led by the famous Philippine actress Erich Gonzales, the series follows the lives of three sisters, Agatha, Erika, and Carrie, who were raised by a surrogate mother and got separated after an agreement their parents made fell through.
Carrie was brought up in a wealthy family and is now a doctor with a flourishing career, Agatha is a rebellious and spoilt girl, while Erika is an exotic dancer using her beauty to lure men for money to save her son from a chronic illness. When Erika witnesses a murder, she becomes the main target of a group of criminals that finally leads her to reunite with her siblings.
These latest developments follow closely to the recent terrestrial bouquet realignment which resulted to the pay television platform effecting a 50% price drop for its superior Classic bouquet which is now retailing at only Ksh. 749 with the other two bouquets being Basic and Nyota retailing at Ksh. 599 and Ksh. 259 respectively.
