One of the original cast members, Evelyn Bontogon as Matutina and Isko Salvador as Isko, made an appearance on one of the episodes.

It is re-aired in Jeepney TV every Wednesday-Saturday in different timeslots.

Cast and characters

Actor		Description
Dolphy	John Puruntong	He is the ever-lovable John who is now a widower in his 70s and still willing and able to do his part to keep his family happy. Life experiences helped him become the wise man that he is now. He still feels the loss of Marsha, but keeps moving forward with the help of his daughter.
Maricel Soriano	Shirley Puruntong-Ramirez	Shirley is John's only daughter. Now in her 30s, she's still the strong-willed girl from John en Marsha. She tries to balance her time between her family and her career. She's the peacekeeper between her father and her in laws.
Susan Roces	En/ Encar/ Encarnacion Ramirez	She is a very classy lady who's all out for her family. She spoils her daughter and is always meddling with her son's life. Living near Shirley and her family gives her the luxury to come and go of their house as she pleases. She sometimes says the famous phrase that Doña Delilah used to say: "Kaya magsumikap ka!" which means "You must work hard!"
Vandolph Quizon	Atong Puruntong	Atong is John's youngest son who, unfortunately, has no plans of leaving the nest and is always looking for easy ways to get money. He gets into all sorts of stitches because of his troublemaking ways.
Mich Dulce	Mich Ramirez	Her mother spoils her to death, leading her to believe that she really is too good a catch for just any man. She tends to be quite annoying especially when she baby talks.
Richie Macapagal	Bernie Ramirez	Bernie is a soft-spoken man with a good heart. He puts up his own company to get out of his mother's shadow.
Noel Trinidad	Rene Ramirez	Just like his son, Rene is soft-spoken and usually keeps to himself, especially when he's around his wife. He only comes out of his shell when he's around John.
Janna Baker	Nicole Ramirez	Nicole is in her teens. She is energetic and has a lot of spirit, and she doesn't get along with her brother.
Ivan David	JP Ramirez	JP is the youngest of Shirley's children. He's soft-spoken like the other men in their family. John's especially fond of him.
Pooh	Giovanni	The owner of the salon in John's community.
Isko Salvador	Isko	Said to be a former suitor of Shirley.
