Mommy Dearest tells the story of two mothers, Emma and Olive, and their love for a child named Mookie.
Growing up, Mookie was sickly and it was up to her mother, Olive, and her love, to take care of her and maker her better. Emma, on the other hand, comes into their lives as a stay-out maid and becomes Mookie's confidant and best friend, only for Olive to try and put a stop to it.
Mommy Dearest serves as the reunion between Camille Prats, who plays Olive, and Shayne Sava, who stars as Mookie, in an Afternoon Prime series. Katrina Halili, who stars as Emma, also reunites with co-Starstruck alumna Shayne and Dion Ignacio.
The series also stars Prince Carlos, Winwyn Marquez, Amy Austria, Mel Martinez, Riel Lomadilla, and Viveika Ravanes.
